CHAPTER 425: SEE THE TRUE COLORS IN 2 HOURS (NEW BOOK CONTENT DURING LEISURE TIME)

"Then why are you checking my household registration? Even if you are, you’re neither the police nor the registrar, so why the interrogation look?"

Seeing the look of sarcasm on Li Qing’s face, a you-think-you’re-so-clever expression with a hint of a punchable smile, Chen Chencheng couldn’t help but clench her fist covertly.

She scoffed, crossing her arms confidently.

"You know, you’ll be single for life. Based on your behavior, language, your emotional intelligence is entirely negative. Now I understand why you’re single at thirty."

Li Qing said slowly, "I’ve figured it out too. Given your professional habits, I think no man could endure your questioning. No wonder you’re single. I think you’ll stay single with your profession."

"Haha, pick dragon, big difference."

Li Qing cooled down, "It’s not nice to insult people, is it?"

Chen Chencheng: "Really? But I think the person sitting across from me is completely different from a human. In both speech and action, completely lacking any man’s responsibility. I feel like you’re not a man, perhaps we should become sisters?"

Yaya Boxing is really sharp, a set of moves could degrade Li Qing to one who is not a man, narrow-minded and petty.

This woman is really sharp-tongued.

Seeing Li Qing silent, Chen Chencheng laughed lightly, "What, hit a sore spot?"

Li Qing said calmly, "Don’t use your thinking to challenge normal people’s intelligence."

With that, he stood up abruptly and reached out his hand.

Chen Chencheng’s expression changed slightly, "What’s this, getting angry and wanting to hit someone?"

Li Qing picked up a paper napkin from the table corner and wiped his mouth before sitting back down.

"How dare I touch you? I’m afraid I’ll bankrupt myself buying hand sanitizer."

"You..."

"Waiter, bill please!"

Li Qing looked at Chen Chencheng’s face turning blue and white alternately while paying the bill, "Nice to meet you. I don’t think we’ll have much interaction, so no need to exchange contact info. This meal’s on me."

"No need for your charity invite!"

Chen Chencheng snorted, asked the waiter how much it was, paid her half, and left without turning back, carrying her bag.

Li Qing shrugged as he watched Chen Chencheng’s retreating back, paid his share, and ate some side dishes before leisurely leaving the restaurant.

Funny, it was supposed to be a friendly conversation, but with Li Qing it just ended up in a quarrel.

They’re flirting, while I’m in a spat.

Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh deeply, dang, is my negotiation skills really that bad, is my emotional intelligence truly in the negative?

Standing at the hotpot restaurant entrance, hands in pockets and hat on, just as Li Qing was about to leave, he abruptly stopped, looking at a figure.

He bent down by the bushes, picked something up, and hurriedly approached, asking with a quivering voice, "Li Yue?"

The woman instinctively turned to look at Li Qing, full of confusion, "Are you calling me?"

Li Qing stood stunned, looking at the unfamiliar face with a bit of a daze, finally apologizing, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

With that, he turned and left quietly, while tossing the brick piece he’d picked up back into the bushes.

He used to be an eager suitor, until a heartless woman deceived him emotionally, took his money, and disappeared in the crowded world, leaving no trace till now.

"The figure looked so familiar..."

Li Qing muttered, not sure if he felt regret or relief, patting the dust off his hands.

As he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Chen Chencheng standing brightly at the hotpot restaurant entrance, eyes widened, watching Li Qing’s actions.

Chen Chencheng: "What were you doing just now?"

Li Qing replied without changing expression, "Just saying hi to an acquaintance."

"Saying hi to someone with a brick?"

"Traditional culture, none of your concern!"

Chen Chencheng laughed lightly, shaking her head slightly, seeing Li Qing ready to leave, couldn’t help but shout, "Are you walking back?"

Li Qing looked back at her, "Planning to take a ride-hailing, at this time, you’ll probably wait a long time, slowly wait, I’ll take off first."

"Hey hey hey, just because a blind date didn’t work out doesn’t mean we can’t have at least some friendship, right?"

"What friendship, we just had a meal together, and you insisted on splitting the bill, it was purely a group meal."

Saying this, Li Qing felt a bit unhappy, at his age and with his financial base, it’s hard for romance to occur. It’s all about heading toward marriage, if it’s not suitable, then decide early, why hesitate here?

Chen Chencheng said in surprise: "Hey, I think our relationship isn’t that bad, right?"

"Certainly won’t be too bad, see you next time if fate allows!"

Li Qing walked away without looking back, leaving Chen Chencheng calling out twice behind him, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

How bad can a random encounter be?

"Damn."

Chen Chencheng watched Li Qing’s retreating back and muttered, her face full of surprise, it was the first time she’d encountered such a situation.

"Could it be that after the age of thirty, men just become this indifferent once realizing there’s no outcome?"

Chen Chencheng pondered, this is a psychological topic worthy of research.

"Why are middle-aged men so detached?"

No, according to current international standards, human lifespans are getting longer, thirty is still classified as youth, middle age starts at forty-five.

Ignoring Chen Chencheng, Li Qing returned to his rented room and meditated for two hours, feeling the growing light sphere in his mind, a sensation calling out seemed increasingly urgent.

It’s a bit like feeling pregnant...

Li Qing rubbed his head and continued studying the content of "Magic Theory".

He stayed up reading late into the night, finally snapping out of it when the alarm on his phone rang. He looked at the clock, it was 10 PM.

Finally with some reluctance he left the world of books, opened his phone, ordered takeout, casually using the computer while waiting for his food to arrive.

Honestly, if he had this drive back when he was studying, he’d have gotten into Qinghua and Peking University by now.

Rushing it back then, didn’t find what he liked.

Ate the takeout casually, donned the Gray Robe, standing by the full-length mirror looking at the black robe.

"Feels like a member of an evil cult..."

Li Qing muttered, waiting until midnight.

As midnight approached, Li Qing reached out and gently grasped the handle of the rented room door, focusing his thoughts. The magic emblem on his wrist quietly appeared, like chain-like magic runes flowed from his palm and back, injecting into the door handle, forming a circular magic diagram.

The embedded teleportation magic runes were there, but the middle had some nested runes, causing Li Qing confusion.

Yet concerning space, there were quite a few magic runes Li Qing couldn’t fully understand, as he hadn’t learned them yet.

Although meditation succeeded, forming a sphere of meditation light in his mind, greatly enhancing his agility, in simple game terms.

Originally his intelligence was 1, but after successful meditation, his intelligence rose by four points, becoming five.
