Volume 1 Chapter 52: Narrow Road Encounter

  Xu Yi drove straight home, now Xu Zhiyuan and He Cheng can practice boxing by themselves, he doesn't need to go guide them every night, things in the capital are settled for now, next is preparing to head south to Qixi.

  After taking a bath, Xu Yi lay on the bed and opened a book, but he couldn't concentrate on reading. He subconsciously thought of his mother's words and recalled Li Ruoxi's appearance. It had to be said that Li Ruoxi's temperament was still good, after all, she grew up following her grandfather since childhood, and such temperament was cultivated over time.

  This girl's appearance is really ordinary, and her figure is like she hasn't developed yet due to malnutrition. Of course, a 16 or 17-year-old girl is usually in this kind of situation anyway.

  It can't be that this little girl has taken a liking to me, this Taoist priest, thought Xu Yizuo, thinking that the possibility was not great. She must be concerned about men outside of her family too rarely.

  However, after seeing the notebook computer at that girl's home today, Xu Yi thought it was very interesting. When he has time, he wants to get a computer back and play with it. Although he is a cultivator, he cannot be abandoned by the times and must keep up with the pace of the era.

  The next morning, Xu Yi finished breakfast and went out. The computer was a very fresh thing for him. For Xu Yi who wanted to be a big shot, he didn't even know how to play with the computer, so how could he mix in the circle in the future?

  Xu Yila opened the car door and got in, took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Zhīyuǎn's number, unexpectedly this guy's phone was turned off, so he had no choice but to dial Yuāntíng's phone.

  "Brother, I'm in class now, what do you want?"

  A low voice came from the receiver, and Yu Ting's voice was heard, "Xiao Ting, I want to buy a computer, where should I go?"

  "Brother, you don't understand computers, so it's easy to be cheated when buying one. I'll send Ruo Xi's phone number to you, let her accompany you, she not only understands computers but also knows how to program, with her there, you definitely won't get ripped off."

  Xu furrowed his brow, "Little Ting, how about this? You give her a call, if she has time, she'll get back to me. If not, I'll go myself. If I call her directly and she's busy, it would be impolite for her to refuse me."

  "Alright, bro, I'll call Ruo Xi first."

  Xu hung up the phone, lit a cigarette and took a puff, tapping the steering wheel in frustration. He had originally planned to take the train south tonight, but now he was worried that he would be delayed.

  Just half a cigarette, the phone rang. Xu Yi picked up the phone and took a look, it was an unfamiliar number. He answered the call, and a familiar voice came from the receiver, "Xu Yi brother, I'm Ruo Xi, drive to the east gate of Peking University, I'll be waiting for you there."

  "Will it affect your class, Xiaoxi?"

  Xu was overjoyed. Since Ruo Xue was so knowledgeable about computers, with her by his side to help him choose, he wouldn't be taken advantage of and could ask her for advice on things he didn't understand.

  "No, we don't have class in the morning, Xu Yige, I'll wait for you at the entrance. By the way, if you drive here, go this way..." Li Ruoxi gave detailed directions over the phone.

  Xu Yi hung up the phone and quickly started the car. Santana drove out of the community and sped towards Beida.

  This little girl really thought it through, Xǔ Yī silently admired in his heart. Following the route Lǐ Ruòxī had told him, Xǔ Yī drove to the east gate of Peking University and scanned the crowd with his eyes, immediately spotting Lǐ Ruòxī standing out from the crowd wearing a light yellow coat.

  "Brother Xu Yi, you're here."

  Li Ruoxi recognized Xu Yi's white Santana at a glance, waved to him and smiled as she walked over. Xu Yi pushed open the car door and let her in.

  "Let's park the car here, I've already contacted a computer store and we can go take a look now." Li Ruoxi directed Xu Yi to park the car on the side.

  Xu Yiting parked the car, closed the door and followed Li Ruoxi's back, only to find that there were a lot of computer stores on this road.

  "It's that one in front, I've brought many classmates here to buy things and the boss always gives me the best price." Li Ruoxi pointed to a computer store at the intersection ten meters ahead, and Xu followed immediately.

  A sports car drove slowly by, and the driver stopped at the red light. His eyes habitually swept over, and he stared in surprise, not noticing that the light had turned green until a car passed him from behind. He then came to his senses, started the car slowly, and drove past slowly, carefully watching Xu Yi and Li Ruoxi walking on the sidewalk.

  That's right, it was indeed Xu Yi. Another girl was surprisingly the daughter of Li Yuanqiang, the Deputy Minister of Public Security, Li Ruoxi. A deputy minister in Beijing is not considered a big leader, but Li Yuanqiang's father-in-law is one of the nine big shots who just retired and can decide the fate of the country.

  Even after retirement, the elderly still have a huge influence on the political arena.

  "This guy Xu Yi, looks like I underestimated him. But then, Yu Yuan said he already has a boyfriend, how could he be with Li Yuanqiang's daughter? Won't this kid have some special taste or something, being interested in such a young and inexperienced girl?"

  The one driving the sports car was Hao Xun, who had just met Xu Yi not long ago. Today, he happened to pass by here and saw Xu Yi strolling around with Li Ruoxi.

  The capital city is just that big, and there are few people in the circle who don't know Li Ruoxi. However, as for those who can go shopping with Li Ruoxi, apart from her relatives, there's no one else. Suddenly seeing Xu Yi walking together with Li Ruoxi on the main street, Hao Xun couldn't help but think more about it.

  Lao Li's family still has a huge influence on the political arena, and Lao Xu's family also has a great influence in the military. If these two families join hands, it will have a profound impact on the entire Republic's politics.

  However, Xu Yi is a Taoist priest, and the Li family doesn't seem to mind this at all. Moreover, due to his identity, Xu Yi cannot take the imperial examination path, and even if he did, his educational background would be a major obstacle, and his future prospects wouldn't be very promising.

  Would Old Lee's family really take a liking to someone with no great prospects?

  Looking at Xu Yi's back, Hao Xun was a bit dazed for a while and didn't dare to make a rash judgment. However, one thing is certain: the relationship between the Li family and the Xu family will only get better from now on.

  Xu Yi didn't even know that he and Li Ruoxi had been spotted by Hao Xun after casually strolling around the street for a while, at this moment, his whole attention was attracted to the notebook computer in the store.

  "Brother Xu, after connecting to the internet, you can trade stocks online. I can give you a stock trading software. Every day at 9:30 in the morning and 1 o'clock in the afternoon, you can buy and sell stocks online."

  Li Ruoxi gave Xu Yi a detailed introduction to the various operations of the laptop, how to open the search engine to find the information he needed, and taught him how to use various necessary software.

  Xu's interest greatly increased, he studied very seriously and carefully, under Li Ruoxue's guidance, he quickly learned some of the most basic knowledge, which made his learning interest more and more enthusiastic.

  Two people, one pointing and the other learning, were speaking enthusiastically when the sound of high heels hitting the floor came up, followed by a woman's voice, "Boss, come take a look, we just bought the top configuration from you last month, today as soon as I opened the graphics processing software it crashed, and the fan noise is particularly loud..."

  Xu Yi heard the familiar voice and subconsciously turned around, his eyes widening in shock. The woman was Tong Yan, who had been engaged to him as a child.

  "Xu Yi, brother, did you remember?"

  Teacher Xiao Li was still teaching her students with a gentle and kind manner, when she suddenly discovered that one of her students seemed to be distracted. She looked up to see what was wrong, and as soon as she saw Xu Yi's expression, she understood that he had run into someone he knew.

  "Ruò Xī, I remember, right, let me introduce a friend to you."

  Xu smiled and proactively stretched out his hand to wrap around Li Ruoxi's slender waist, welcoming her agreement to go with him. He only noticed the reaction of Tongyan, but didn't notice that Li Ruoxi's delicate body was slightly trembling.

  "Wow, what a coincidence! You're also here buying a computer?"

  Tongyuan was taken aback by his words. She had just been focused on telling the store's technician about her computer problems and hadn't noticed that the customer in the store was actually Xu Yi.

  "Hey, Xu Yi, what a coincidence running into you here."

  With a smile, his eyes scanned Li Ruoxue's body beside Xu Yi, and his lips curled up slightly. "I thought you'd postponed our wedding and found a beautiful woman, but your taste is getting worse and worse. You're so desperate that you're interested in this underdeveloped little girl."

  Xu furrowed her brow, unable to believe that Tongyuan was so sharp-tongued and vicious, and what's more, she hadn't even recognized Li Ruoxi. Apparently, the Tong family had fallen on hard times and couldn't even get into the circle anymore, their decline worsening with each passing year.

  Originally wanted to counter a few sentences, did not expect Xu Yi had not spoken yet, but Li Ruoxi beside her suddenly blew up, she tightly hugged Xu Yi's hand, provocatively looking at Tongyan, faintly smiling, "This aunt, our family doesn't hire nannies, and I'm only 16 this year, oh, there's still a lot of room for growth in the future, but one person's character is set from childhood."

  "Moreover, Brother Xu chose me over you, this auntie, which already explains everything. It's not that all the big ones are good, but rather what suits is good."

  The little girl hummed a sound, and her whole body emitted an aura of inviolability.

  Xu Yi was shocked and didn't expect Li Ruoxi, this little girl, to have a day when she would get angry and scold people. However, her level of scolding people on the street was indeed not great.

  Especially the last sentence, it was vaguely said to him.

  Tongyuan was taken aback, let out a loud hum from his nose, and loudly called out to the shop assistant to take the warranty card, then turned around and walked out in big strides.

  "Boss, just take this laptop, and also copy the source files of the entire software suite for me." Li Ruoxi calmly looked at Tongyan's back, "Xu Yige, you really got engaged to her?"

  "But others look down on me."

  Xu Yi was taken aback by the words, a bitter smile appeared on his face, he nodded and then briefly told Tongyuan about how Lao Rongxuan had used him to save face.

  "This cow is really hateful."

  Li Ruoxi hummed heavily in her nose and thought that this was a very unpleasant insult.
