They had agreed to come down quickly, yet there was no sign of Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin.
After waiting in the car downstairs for quite a while, An Yuying made a call to Luo Yang.
On the phone, Luo Yang said, "Sister An, I'll be down very soon."
The statement was vague.
In the car with her, Qin Piao joked, "Yuying, maybe Niu Zai will stay a bit longer. He will come, don't rush him, he might be having a good time right now."
That remark stirred up a sense of jealousy in An Yuying.
Seeing Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin being so friendly on a regular basis—although she clearly understood Luo Yang was protecting Hong Jiaxin—An Yuying still felt jealous.
After all, love is selfish.
An Yuying, who had long regarded Luo Yang as her own private property, how could she easily let another beauty snatch away her beloved?
Thus, upon hearing Qin Piao put it that way, An Yuying was about to get out of the car to look for Luo Yang.
Qin Piao was just talking nonsense and didn't really mean that Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin were up to anything enjoyable in the room.
Seeing that An Yuying was about to go upstairs, Qin Piao worried that if it was said that she had said something, Luo Yang might be annoyed with her.
"Yuying, don't go. Just wait here for Niu Zai," Qin Piao advised.
"I'm going to ask him to come down. He hasn't come down yet. I want to know what he's doing," An Yuying said coyly.
Once she had that thought in her mind, An Yuying felt uncomfortable without going to see for herself.
"Yuying, Niu Zai will come. Just wait a little longer," Qin Piao advised.
"I want to go find him," An Yuying still got out of the car.
Qin Piao quickly sent a message to Luo Yang, saying An Yuying was coming to find him.
When it comes to the affairs between men and women, if doubted, it's very hard to explain clearly.
Luo Yang had experienced this and understood it well.
Now that An Yuying was coming to find him, she most likely wanted to see what he was doing with Hong Jiaxin.
At this moment, it was not convenient to go out immediately, as that might give off the impression of having a guilty conscience.
Luo Yang thus stayed in the room, waiting for An Yuying to come up.
While waiting, Luo Yang said, "Squad leader, Sister An is coming. Let's go down together later."
Hong Jiaxin sneered, "I'll just tell Sister An that you always want to take advantage of me."
Upon hearing her say this, Luo Yang silently lamented.
The Village Beauty's actions were unpredictable.
Given Hong Jiaxin's temperament, she might suddenly say something that would embarrass Luo Yang.
Therefore, he needed to give Hong Jiaxin a few warnings.
"Squad leader, don't mess around. Sister An will hit me. Give me some face, we're so familiar; don't make this difficult for me, okay? I still have to teach you the Fist Technique, remember?" Luo Yang said with a smile.
The mention of martial arts infuriated Hong Jiaxin.
Luo Yang said he would teach her, but had delayed it for so long without teaching her anything.
"You have the nerve to mention it! I've been waiting and waiting, yet you keep putting it off! I'll tell Sister An that you're a bad guy," Hong Jiaxin pouted, her voice low.
Her interest in learning martial arts was not just for fun; she needed it to achieve something bigger.
With her martial abilities improved, Hong Jiaxin would have the strength to go out and look for her parents.
She wanted to go now, but her abilities were not strong enough, so she didn't dare.
Luo Yang had a certain fighting capacity, but the world outside was vast and dangerous. More importantly, they didn't know exactly where the Hong Zhong Couple was; wandering aimlessly would be of no use.
Only by waiting until Hong Jiaxin's martial abilities were improved, and after they had learned about the general whereabouts of the Hong Zhong Couple, would it be much more convenient to go look for them together.
In other words, the most important thing at the moment was to make Hong Jiaxin stronger.
This was also Luo Yang's wish.
But some things can't be achieved immediately just because one wishes it; learning martial arts is about seeing results after years and years of consistent practice.
Even for those with great talent, mastery cannot be achieved in just three to five days.
