In short, he's a good-looking and capable but taciturn guy.
Jerusalem, seemingly the most beautiful of all, actually needs a lover that can't be driven away, or a white moonlight that can never be won over...
Sigh~ Taurus woman~
As Li Pu was thinking this, he happened to look up and his eyes met Tifa's.
Tifa's cheeks flushed red, and she hurriedly turned her head away, shrinking between Alice and Eve as if she wanted to hide herself.
Sigh~ Taurus woman~
Alice, who was standing next to her, raised an eyebrow, looked at the boy again, and immediately pulled down her eyelids, stuck out her little pink tongue, and made a cute face.
Li Pu ignored the unreliable goddess and turned back to look at the scenery.
Alice pursed her lips and turned to look at Tifa, whose ears were still flushed red.
Seeing her stubborn yet timid appearance, Alice couldn't help but sigh softly, thinking to herself:
With my best friend acting like this, I'm afraid I'll really be the youngest in the family...
Sigh~ Taurus woman~
As the three girls continued their conversation, they encountered a problem that was difficult to explain.
They whispered among themselves for a while, then turned around in unison, their eyes fixed expectantly on the most knowledgeable person in the car—
The chosen one of "erudition," their Chunli sister.
But at that moment, the bus slowly came to a stop, and we finally arrived at our destination.
“Let’s get off the bus first, and I’ll tell you about this ‘Golden Beach’ as we walk.”
Chunli, being in a favorable position, picked up her little apprentice Li Pu amidst the jealous gaze of the White Queen.
After thanking the female driver, everyone got off the bus one by one, except for the White Queen, who was still somewhat sullen.
She was certainly unhappy that she didn't get to hug Li Pu, but her arrogant refusal to thank the female driver stemmed more from:
The cost of the bus and luxury hotel accommodations for this trip were covered by sponsorship fees from the collaboration between the R District leader and the two associations.
In her view, this was an official exchange between the senior management of the two associations and the R district, and it didn't count as owing anyone a favor.
Can reimbursement be considered owing someone a favor?
What does it have to do with me and my baby if the leader of District R wants to curry favor with the Second Association?
Meanwhile, Alice, who had jumped off the train excitedly, suddenly froze in place, her face filled with embarrassment.
Li Pu, who was being held in Chunli's arms, caught a glimpse of the scene outside the car and almost burst out laughing.
Mary Rose was standing at the entrance of the scenic area, with a sweet smile typical of a maid on her face, clearly there to welcome the distinguished guests from the Second Association.
This little girl was really tricked by Alice last night.
Upon seeing Alice, little Mary Rose's smile froze instantly, and she puffed out her cheeks and stormed over angrily.
"Big sister! Give me back my allowance!"
Chapter 174 (Three-in-one request for monthly tickets and subscriptions, muah~) You'll be the older sisters' husband!
The air at the entrance of the Golden Beach scenic area felt particularly awkward.
"Forehead……"
Alice, who usually has a mischievous and devilish demeanor, was at a loss for what to do and turned to look at her little chosen one with a pitiful expression.
Upon seeing this, Li Pu's lips curled up slightly.
Hilarious! You've finally met your match!
He glanced at Alice's side and saw the blonde girl, Romary Rose, who was collecting debts. She was dressed in her classic gothic maid outfit and looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with slender arms and legs, and a delicate, porcelain-like appearance.
It looks like one punch could make someone cry for a long time...
Mary Rose spotted him in the crowd, and her eyes lit up!
She recalled the "energetic program" she hadn't finished watching in her dream the night before.
"So, did you two do anything naughty afterwards?!"
These abrupt and unrelated words startled the White Queen, Chun-Li, and Tifa.
Tifa, in particular, looked at Alice and Lip with the eyes of someone who had just chewed a whole bitter melon...
Children's innocent remarks can be terrifying!
Alice blushed instantly, frantically pulling out the "sponsorship fee" she'd received in her dream from her pocket and stuffing it into Mary Rose's arms. Her toes were so embarrassed they could have dug a three-bedroom apartment out of her.
Please stop talking!
But the two older women and Tifa clearly wanted to hear more details.
Li Pu was sweating profusely.
He could clearly smell the scent of a battleground.
"Little sister, have you met before?" the White Queen asked with a smile, bending down.
Mary Rose nodded and answered while carefully counting her small amount of money.
"I've seen it! In my dream! A big brother was fighting with a super sexy big sister!"
Tifa smiled faintly, then asked softly, "Was it... a normal fight?"
“Mmm,” Mary Rose gestured excitedly, “it was so intense! That lady even had a whip!”
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Li Pu quickly interrupted:
"That night someone was chasing me in my dream, and maybe the killer just happened to be connected to this child's dream."
We can't let this unreliable kid keep going; he's only making things worse...
Alice nodded vigorously and echoed her agreement.
The White Queen and Chun-Li's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.
Li Pu's accidental success was a stroke of luck.
Assassination in dreams is a common tactic used by high-ranking assassins in Eagle City. After a victim is killed in a dream, their heartbeat in reality will immediately stop.
They were more willing to believe their own children than a complete stranger.
Furthermore, Li Pu's explanation was so understated that it immediately led the two "mother-minded" mature women to imagine a whole scenario:
The sensible little boy didn't want to hurt his mother, so he chose to silently endure the hurt from the outside world—a tragic drama.
This child is really...
The white queen, a large foreign woman, immediately rushed to his side, tenderly cupped his little face in her hands, and said softly:
"Honey, if you encounter anything dangerous like this in the future, you must tell me immediately, okay?"
"From now on, you will sleep with me, and I will never let anyone hurt you."
Chun-Li bit her lower lip tightly, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes:
It must have been done by the corrupt court of Dongzhou!
They can forget about getting any favors from the entire court!
“Master will watch over you every night. Remember, if anything happens in the future, you must tell Master and Sister Emma. With us here, you have nothing to be afraid of!”
As they spoke, the two voluptuous mature women exchanged a glance.
Their protective instincts completely overwhelmed their jealousy at this moment.
"So you guys will do naughty things at night, um—!" Before Mary Rose could finish speaking, Alice covered her mouth.
Little sister, please stop making things worse...
Tifa, standing to the side, paused slightly, a soft light appearing in her eyes.
She lowered her eyes to look at Li Pu, a warm feeling quietly welling up in her heart—
So, the reason he hadn't come to see her in the village of her dreams for so long wasn't because he had forgotten her, nor because he didn't care...
Rather, he was afraid of drawing the people who were hunting him to her side.
I misunderstood him again...
Tifa gazed at the handsome young man's profile, a feeling she couldn't quite describe—a mixture of heartache and anger—surging up within her, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.
This seemingly frivolous and carefree kid is always like this...doing things that are thankless and exhausting.
The hotel chef was like that time, he was like that when facing another version of himself who was out of control, he went to Dongzhou alone to shoulder the responsibility of Fei Guang, and he was like that when facing "Immortal". Now, he wouldn't even reveal a thing to her when he was being chased in his dream.
Terrible, absolutely terrible!
Such a "terrible" man needs to be taught a lesson!
And Li Pu suddenly realized—
Tifa's "pink resilience bar" suddenly dropped from three to two, and even the resilience bars of the two "older ladies" next to her quietly dropped by half.
???
Let me explain...
When he looked up again, he saw Tifa looking at him with a complicated expression.
That look in his eyes was inexplicably gentle, yet it also made him want to punch him right then and there...
It seems they've gotten into a tiff again.
Sigh~ Taurus woman~
The staff who had been welcoming Mary Rose finally caught up.
Many of them had braids from the Dongzhou region.
Alice raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, finally releasing her grip on Mary Rose and gently pushing the gothic-style maid back into the welcoming line.
A dazed Mary Rose was reminded of her important mission only after being reminded by her female colleagues.
She hurriedly straightened her skirt and collar, then stepped forward and bowed solemnly, saying:
"Welcome, distinguished guests of the two associations, to your vacation! Please present your exclusive tickets; I need to verify your identities."
Although it's called identity verification, it's really just a ticket checking process.
Mary Rose then took out a small, elegant punch from her pocket and began carefully checking everyone's tickets one by one.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
The ticket checking process was carried out in an orderly manner.
Until it was Eve's turn in the queue—she obediently handed over the terminal displaying a screenshot of her e-ticket.
Mary Rose habitually picked up the hole punch, aimed it at the screen, and "snap!" pressed it down.
"Crackling~"
"Crack——!"
With a sharp crack, the terminal screen shattered, and cracks spread out instantly like a spider web.
The air was suddenly quiet.
"..." Mary Rose stood there, stunned, holding the hole punch.
“…” Eve blinked her big eyes.
Li Pu was speechless.
That kid has a really strong grip...
"sorry Sorry sorry!"
The clumsy little maid, Mary Rose, realized what had happened and hurriedly bowed and apologized repeatedly. Her head bobbed up and down so fast it almost left a blur, and her blonde twin tails nearly turned into a helicopter shape...
The usually aloof White Queen chuckled softly, covering her mouth, "It's alright, the Second Association will reimburse you anyway."
"Remember to have everyone submit a report when you get back."
“For example, when we were on vacation, we lost all our devices and replaced them with high-end models from Eve.”
