Late at night.

Zhang Chu was still sitting at the round table, sipping the hot tea just brought by the maid.

Suddenly, he put down the tea cup in his hand and whispered: "Fourth sister, come in when you are here."

The voice fell.

There was silence outside the door.

Zhang Chu did not rush and waited patiently.

After several breaths.

The door "squeaked" and was pushed open from the outside.

Xia Houfu walked into the room carrying a white porcelain soup cup.

She put on plain blue casual clothes and took off light makeup. She was not as stunning as she was in the evening, but more attractive.

There is a kind of person like this. At first glance, he seems to be ordinary, but after getting along for a long time, he will feel more and more beautiful...

In terms of stunning beauty, among the women Zhang Chu has seen, no one can compare to Wu Jiuyu. The majestic and heroic spirit exuding from her beauty is really not something that can be simulated by relying on exquisite facial features and makeup.

Even beauty can be seen in the eyes of enemies!

In terms of endurance, Xia Houfu can be ranked with Meng Xiaojun.

Well, that's not to say that Zhiqiu and Xia Tao are not stunning and attractive. They are a different kind of beauty, kind and gentle.

Zhang Chu felt very warm in his heart when he saw them, and all the ups and downs of the outside world were left outside the door.

The world is like poison.

They are Zhang Chu's antidote.

"I have a headache..."

Xia Houfu smiled and gently placed the soup cup in front of Zhang Chu, and sat down opposite him: "Tremella and lotus seed soup, it can relieve hangover and tiredness, eat it while it's hot."

She is laughing.

But laughter could not dilute the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Zhang Chu nodded and wanted to thank him, but felt it was not appropriate. He didn't know what to say at the moment, so he could only open the soup cup and drink the lotus seed soup with the spoon.

He still hasn't figured out his relationship with Xia Hofu.

Naturally, I can't decide my attitude towards getting along with her.

This happened suddenly to him.

He really had no mental preparation...

This kind of thing.

As a gentleman, he didn't even know what to say.

Xia Hofu naturally didn't know what to say.

When she was young, she was obsessed with martial arts and never considered personal issues.

If she was born into an ordinary family, this would definitely not work. The first male is the first to marry, the first female is the first to marry, and a woman cannot afford to delay the golden period of choosing a husband.

But it's not surprising that she was born into a martial arts family.

In the world of martial arts, no one who can achieve anything has many children and grandchildren.

It is a blessing to have a son and a half daughter to carry on the bloodline.

Most of the warriors who can become Feitian Grandmasters are actually lonely people. For example, Zhao Mingyang, Er Shengtian, Jian Wuya and others are still unmarried...

Feitian Grandmaster, who came from a poorer background, had not had enough time to be brave and diligent when he was young. He had neither the energy nor the money to take care of his daughter's love. When he became successful and thought about the branches and leaves, he no longer had the ability.

Already.

Martial arts families treat their heirs even more harshly.

All the children of martial arts families start to learn basic skills when they are thirteen or fourteen years old. When they are around twenty years old, they will face a fork in the road in life: if they are good at practicing martial arts, they will be provided with a steady stream of resources to allow them to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

, as for the heirs, it depends on fate.

Those who are not good at practicing martial arts cut off the supply of all martial arts resources, become stallions, and work hard to expand their families. This type of people are usually the main force in running various businesses of major martial arts families.

Civil and military forces are separated, force protects business, and business provides backup resources for force.

This is similar to Zhang Chu's philosophy in running the Beiping League.

Xia Houfu...is an anomaly.

The reason why she is said to be an anomaly is because the martial arts disciples trained by martial arts families basically train men, and rarely train women.

After all, women's physique and courage are inherently weaker than men's. To achieve the same martial arts achievements, women have to work several times harder than men.

Most of the time, women born into big families are used as tools for marriage...

It may not sound nice to say, but in fact it is not harsh.

In this era, there is no such thing as mutual love. Most of the time, marriage is decided by the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.

Even if a commoner's family marries a daughter, the mother's family still has to look at the man's family conditions, right?

Xia Houfu is a female flying master who volunteered to practice martial arts and became famous.

Nowadays, it is unclear whether she wanted to resist her fate or whether she really liked practicing martial arts and practiced martial arts.

I can't tell whether it's because she really likes being a backpacker because she has been obsessed with mountains and rivers and traveled around the world all these years, or because she has had enough of dog food and simply walked away, out of sight and out of mind.

Anyway, she is really blank in terms of love for her daughter.

When she fell in love with Zhang Chu, she actually couldn't explain it herself.

It's like she can't tell whether it's because she has no choice. There are only so many Feitian Grandmasters in the world. Zhang Chu is the youngest one and also an extremely outstanding one.

Or because I like the warm atmosphere of Zhang Mansion...

After practicing martial arts to this point, she no longer had any expectations for a life partner.

Whether there is or not, it doesn’t matter.

If there is, it doesn't matter who this person is.

Anyway, with her strength, she doesn’t need to look at anyone’s face at any time!

But during the time when she stayed at Zhang Mansion in Taipingguan, an idea suddenly popped into her mind. If that person was Zhang Chu, it would not be bad...

Some thoughts, once released, can never be taken back.

And Zhang Chu's series of performances afterwards made her have no intention of taking back these thoughts.

I got to where I am today in a daze.

Now that the window paper was broken, she didn't know how to face Zhang Chu.

After all, this little thing of falling in love was her first time.

…

Zhang Chu took a few mouthfuls of lotus seed soup, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

He put down the spoon and asked, "Did you cook this?"

Xia Hofu slightly widened his almond-shaped eyes: "How do you know?"

Zhang Chu smacked his lips and said with a smile: "I put too much white fungus and lotus seeds, it's a bit bitter..."

His mouth has long been eaten by Xia Tao.

A trace of panic flashed in Xia Houfu's eyes, and he immediately said angrily: "It's good to have something for you to eat, but you are so picky. You think everyone is like a peach, thinking about how to serve you when you see the sky?"

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Chu laughed heartily a few times. Seeing that Xia Hofu's face looked a little ugly, he quickly stopped smiling, sighed softly, and stretched out his hand to gently hold Xia Houfu's hand.

His movements are very slow.

Afraid of scaring Xia Houfu, I gave him a big mouth with my backhand.

The daughter next to her was so shy that she could only punch the boy's chest with her small fists.

If Xia Hofu was shy and slapped him subconsciously, he could beat the unsuspecting Feitian Grandmaster to half death...

Xia Hofu instinctively pulled his hand back slightly, but immediately resisted the urge to take it back. He let him hold his hand, and his whole body froze, and fine goosebumps climbed up his smooth cheeks in the blink of an eye.

.

Zhang Chu saw it clearly.

He carefully held Xia Houfu's hand, as if he were holding a grenade that had the latch pulled out and could explode at any time.

"How can Zhang Chu win the favor of a peerless person like Fourth Sister?"

Zhang Chu carefully considered his words and said awkwardly: "The fourth sister knows the situation in Xuanbei Prefecture, and the fourth sister also knows the situation in my family."

"At this time of precarious situation, the fourth sister still doesn't think Zhang Chu is embarrassed. Zhang Chu should cherish the fourth sister. From now on, he will not let the fourth sister suffer any injustice. If he violates it, God will punish him..."
