Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Bai Xi leaned on Cheng Xizhou’s shoulder and said, ”Zhouzhou, now that the great revenge has suddenly been avenged, I’m a bit lost.”

It’s probably because the shackles that weighed her down were suddenly removed, and she felt relaxed, finally able to look up at the sky, but she was intimidated by its vastness and boundlessness.

Cheng Xizhou felt even more sympathetic towards her.

”Lost about what? From now on, live well every day. You’re only 28, and you can still have endless possibilities. Take your time to think and search, and you’ll surely find a lifestyle that suits you.”

”From today on, it’s your rebirth!”

”Exactly!” Bai Xi said, ”We should drink to celebrate.”

”Alright!”

Cheng Xizhou opened an expensive bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and suddenly said, ”Why don’t we go to Teacher Xu’s room and have a drink with her?” Cheng Xizhou was very grateful to Xu Xingguang.

If it weren’t for Xu Xingguang’s guidance, Bai Xi, this little turtle, would still be hiding in her shell, sulking.

”Sounds good.”

The two went together to knock on Xu Xingguang’s door.

Xu Xingguang opened the door, dressed in a white tank top, soft and fitted black sports shorts, covered in sweat, looking like she’d been boxing.

Cheng Xizhou was already very familiar with Xu Xingguang. She leaned on the door, raising the red wine, and asked Xu Xingguang, ”Teacher Xu, fancy a drink to celebrate?”

Xu Xingguang stared at the red wine in Cheng Xizhou’s hand, hesitated for a moment, then let them in.

After a few rounds of drinks, Bai Xi was drunk unconscious, snoring at the foot of the bed.

Cheng Xizhou’s mind was also fuzzy, seeing double of Xu Xingguang. Only Xu Xingguang remained clear-eyed, drinking like water, just went to the bathroom, showing no signs of getting drunk.

Cheng Xizhou admired Xu Xingguang’s alcohol tolerance, ”Teacher Xu, you’re a heavy drinker.”

Xu Xingguang smiled lightly, gazing out towards the southern sea, seemingly lost in thought.

Cheng Xizhou leaned in front of Xu Xingguang to ask, ”At this time, Teacher Xu, are you still pondering creative inspiration?”

Shaking her head, Xu Xingguang said, ”No, I’m thinking about a man.”

Cheng Xizhou’s mouth dropped open, shocked at what she had just heard.

Cheng Xizhou’s mind seemed to freeze. She racked her brains before saying, ”Thinking about a man, huh? Do you want me to call a male masseur for you?”

Afraid Xu Xingguang might find the masseur unreliable, Cheng Xizhou especially emphasized, ”Rest assured, the people I recommend are absolutely dependable, all certified. Health certificates, medical certificates, they have them all.”

Xu Xingguang gave her an amused look, saying with a half-smile, ”You know your stuff.”

Feeling a bit awkward, Cheng Xizhou said, ”I’m an artist, you know, I always know some avenues.” Lest Xu Xingguang misunderstand her, Cheng Xizhou then explained, ”But I never hire them, I value my reputation.”

Xu Xingguang was amused by her, laughing out loud. She said, ”I’m thinking about my man.” The words ”my” were spoken both ambiguously and dominantly.

Cheng Xizhou belatedly realized that Teacher Xu was thinking about her boyfriend.

Cheng Xizhou was surprised, ”Teacher Xu has a boyfriend?” Seeing that Xu Xingguang was always alone, she thought she was single.

”I have a fiancé.” Xu Xingguang’s words shocked everyone.

”Wow!” Cheng Xizhou thought of something, probing Xu Xingguang, ”Could it be the White Impermanence guy who accompanied you to Jiang Family and disrupted Jiang Heng’s wedding?”

Cheng Xizhou had seen a leaked video of Xu Xingguang causing a scene at Jiang Family’s wedding banquet. In the video, both Xu Xingguang and Huo Wen’an had such exaggerated makeup that even their mothers wouldn’t recognize them.

At the time, there were rumors that the guy in the white suit was Xu Xingguang’s new partner.

Therefore, upon learning about Xu Xingguang’s fiancé, Cheng Xizhou immediately thought of that guy. Although she couldn’t see his real appearance clearly, his demeanor and figure were unforgettable.

She guessed that Teacher Xu’s fiancé must be very handsome.

Xu Xingguang hummed in agreement and suddenly put down her wine glass, got up, and walked into the bedroom.

When she came out again, she had changed into a casual polo dress and was holding her phone, looking like she was about to go out.

”Teacher Xu, where are you going?”

Already at the doorstep, Xu Xingguang said without turning back, ”Going on a date.”

Ah?

With the scent of alcohol in her breath, Xu Xingguang went down alone to the seaside, arriving at a dock. This dock was a travel gateway, connecting West Continent City with the sea outside.

Offshore, there was a West Continent Sea-styled island, a tourist hotspot, with beautiful scenery, the top choice for many young couples for their honeymoon.

By now, it was past nine, and the last sailing had ended. The captains had changed into casual clothes, ready to wrap up for the night. Seeing Xu Xingguang enter the ticket hall, the staff on duty informed her, ”Ma’am, we’re closed for the day. Please come back tomorrow.”
