Chapter 31

Fang Tianfeng asked, "Do you know you were wrong now?"

The boss lady nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know! I promise, I won't buy cheap meat anymore. Whatever meat it is, I'll be honest. Auntie just likes to save a little, but I never thought about selling diseased meat to harm people. The porridge I served you before was always more than what I gave others."

The boss lady wasn't lying; she had always been good to Fang Tianfeng, an old customer. Otherwise, Fang Tianfeng wouldn't have just asked for a refund.

However, Fang Tianfeng didn't believe the boss lady when she said there was no diseased meat before. Someone who would substitute duck meat for beef wouldn't care if it was good duck meat.

Fang Tianfeng calmed down and said, "If the cabbage and meat buns had a problem, do you think I would just talk to you? Actually, if you used good duck meat to substitute for beef, it wouldn't be a big issue; it wouldn't harm anyone. But using diseased meat, think about it, if a child eats it and gets sick, what will you do? You can't afford to compensate. You don't consider the years of neighborhood friendship, but I don't want to make things worse. Close the shop today, throw away the bad meat, and if I find you selling bad or fake meat again, don't blame me for being harsh!"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Fang, you're such a good person, Auntie is sorry to you," the boss lady wiped her tears frantically.

Fang Tianfeng took twelve yuan from the table, exactly the money for the buns and porridge, not a penny more or less, and left with his sister.

As soon as they stepped out, Su Shishi hugged Fang Tianfeng's arm tightly, looking up at him with admiration, "Brother! You're so amazing! How can you be so amazing! So cool! Even cooler than the action stars in movies! Brother, I love you so much! Can you teach me?"

Fang Tianfeng gently flicked his sister's nose and said, "Look at you, you're just a little love-struck. I'm not as amazing as you say!"

But Su Shishi wasn't convinced and said, "You are so cool and amazing, don't believe me? Look!" She then opened her phone and played the video she had just recorded.

Fang Tianfeng took the phone and saw that at first, his sister was filming the buns, the boss lady, and the boss, but eventually, the camera focused entirely on him.

When the video showed Fang Tianfeng kicking the boss, Su Shishi immediately pointed at the screen and shouted, "Look, look! So cool! Teach me! Teach me, please!"

Fang Tianfeng cleared his throat and said, "This is too hard for you to practice. With me around, no one will dare to bully you."

Su Shishi asked curiously, "Brother, how did you suddenly become so amazing? You didn't practice martial arts before, did you?"

Fang Tianfeng thought it was not good, but soon sighed and said with a helpless look, "Shishi, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but my master doesn't want me to reveal my strength too early. However, I'll tell you a little, but you mustn't tell anyone else. This is a secret only you and I know, okay?"

Su Shishi's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "You can trust me! I won't tell anyone, even if I die!"

Fang Tianfeng thought it was easy to deceive a simple child, so he continued to make up stories, "Actually, three years ago, I met an old man who said I had good bones and was suitable for practicing the inner cultivation of his sect. He taught me, and said he would contact me when I reached the highest level. I practiced for three years and only completed it a few days ago, but I'm still far from the highest level."

Su Shishi suddenly understood and said, "No wonder you didn't answer my calls the other day. You must have been at a critical point of your practice, right? You were in seclusion, weren't you?"

"You guessed right!" Fang Tianfeng said.

Su Shishi immediately said seriously, "Brother, believe me! I won't leak any information!"

Fang Tianfeng was about to praise her, but suddenly she excitedly raised her hands and jumped, then quickly hugged Fang Tianfeng's arm and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm so happy! Having such a brother is great!"

Fang Tianfeng shook his head helplessly, but thinking about how he had already made money from this, he knew his sister would find out eventually, so he lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear.

"Actually, after I completed my practice, I also learned some fortune-telling and divination, and can use qi gong to treat minor illnesses. I plan to earn some money with this. You mustn't tell anyone, okay?"

Su Shishi immediately widened her eyes, nodded vigorously, and said excitedly, "I know! I won't tell anyone. No wonder I felt you were even cooler yesterday. It must be because your cultivation has improved. I always felt you were different from others, and now it's true! Brother, you're so amazing!"

Fang Tianfeng laughed and said, "What improvement, you're just making it up. You still need to go to your tutoring class, let's go home, don't be too late."

Su Shishi immediately said pitifully, "But I don't want to leave you." She then hugged Fang Tianfeng.

Fang Tianfeng put his hands on her waist and touched his forehead to hers, saying, "Endure a few years of hardship, and you'll be free after the college entrance exam. Of course, you'll continue to work hard after you start working."

Su Shishi smiled and said, "Who comforts you like that? Okay, I'll go to a classmate's house and then to the tutoring class." She then looked up at Fang Tianfeng with a smile.

Fang Tianfeng had to bend down, and Su Shishi kissed his cheek and said, "I'm leaving! Next week, you have to come to school to pick me up, I don't know the way to our new home."

"Okay, I'll come to pick you up." Fang Tianfeng was not used to being kissed by his sister, but since he had promised her when she was young, he had to accept it.

After sending his sister off, Fang Tianfeng looked up at the blue sky, feeling happy, and got on the bus to Chang'an Garden.

On the way, Fang Tianfeng received a WeChat message from Su Shishi.

"Brother, my classmate said my skin suddenly looks better. I didn't notice it at first, but when I looked in the mirror, it really did look much better. I remember your skin also improved a lot. Is it because of the cultivation you practiced? But how could it help me? Brother, I want to sleep with you every day from now on!"

Fang Tianfeng thought it was lucky he had his headphones on, or others might have misunderstood. He typed back, "Don't talk nonsense, what sleep or not."

After a while, Su Shishi asked, "Brother, can your cultivation really cure illnesses?"

"Of course."

"Then when you touched my stomach this morning, were you curing me? I've felt very tired lately, but today I suddenly feel not tired at all and very comfortable."

"You know now, right? At the time, you thought I was doing something bad, didn't you?"

"Not at all! Even if you did something bad, you're still a good brother."

"Your words make me respect myself."

"Ha ha, brother, you're so thick-skinned. But thank you for curing me, I'm so happy, really! You always think of me, and when I grow up, I'll definitely repay you!"

"You can repay me by not being so clingy and whiny all the time."

"No way!" Then Su Shishi sent a picture of her making a funny face.

A little later, Su Shishi sent another message, this time in text.

"Brother, I also noticed that the water at home tastes better. Have you noticed it? The water I drank this morning tasted much better than yesterday."

"Is that so? I haven't noticed it, you're overthinking."

"Okay, but now I can clearly taste the difference when I drink the water I bought."

"Are you about to start class? Pay attention in class!"

"Okay."

Fang Tianfeng immediately recalled the water at home and soon realized that the water left in the cup every morning tasted better, while the water in the kettle or thermos remained the same.

"Could it be that when I practice the Tianyun诀 at night, it draws in qi, which changes the quality of the water? This is probably the only explanation. I'll find a chance to test it."

After getting off the bus, Fang Tianfeng arrived at Chang'an Garden. Four security guards hurriedly stood up to greet him, lining up and standing straight, then called out together, "Mr. Fang!"

Fang Tianfeng looked at them with a frown and said, "Don't call me Mr. Fang in the future. By the way, if you're free at noon, let's have lunch together, I'll treat you."

A quick-witted security guard smiled and said, "How can I let Mr. Fang treat us? This meal is on me, Xiao Tao."

"I said I'll treat, so it's settled," Fang Tianfeng said firmly.

Xiao Tao immediately said, "Mr. Fang, Manager Shen is here, you might not have time for lunch." He then showed a lecherous smile.

Fang Tianfeng glared at him and said, "Then I'll treat you when I have time." He then left.

Turning the corner, a red Cayenne was parked in front of the villa.

Fang Tianfeng entered the villa, and Shen Xin was sitting on the sofa watching TV. She quickly turned her head when she heard the door.

"Shen Xin, why are you here?"

Shen Xin stood up. She was wearing loose loungewear, with a white top and pants with blue patterns. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, making her look several years younger. The pants were short, and she was barefoot, showing a bit of her calf, and her toenails were painted a bright red.

"I was bored at home on the weekend, so I came to see you. The phone has been ringing, and I answered a few calls. They were all about renting the house. How's it going?"

Fang Tianfeng said while changing his shoes, "I found a tenant yesterday, a flight attendant, who will move in in a few days."

Shen Xin smiled and said, "You're quite good at taking advantage of the environment to attract girls. Why don't I move in too?"

"Both hands up! I'd be more than happy! I especially love your cooking."

Shen Xin rolled her eyes at Fang Tianfeng and said, "So you welcome me just because I can cook?"

"Of course there are other reasons, but I'm too embarrassed to say."

Shen Xin stepped forward, her chest almost touching Fang Tianfeng, and posed in a very seductive manner, asking, "What other reasons? Tell me, I like it when you tell the truth."

Fang Tianfeng said seriously, "Because I get free rides."

Shen Xin's eyes widened, and she reached out to pinch Fang Tianfeng's face, but he stepped back and said with a smile, "Shen Xin, I've noticed you look much younger recently. In a few days, I'll call you Shen Mei."

Shen Xin wasn't really angry, and hearing this, she was even more pleased, saying, "Don't be silly, call me your sister honestly. It's a pity the company is too far from here, or I would really move in. But I can come here to cook and eat after work every day."
