Seeing Qiao Zai Shui laughing off to the side, Luo Yang smiled and said, "Little Sister Qiao, let me carry you."
Qiao Zai Shui laughed and left the ladies' restroom first.
A string of silvery laughter kept flowing.
"I can walk by myself." Qiao Yousi wanted to get down.
"Big Sister Qiao, let me carry you back," Luo Yang said, lifting her by the legs.
Qiao Yousi had no choice but to wrap her arms tightly around Luo Yang's neck and let him carry her out of the ladies' restroom.
Every few steps, Luo Yang would stop, bend over, and lift Qiao Yousi by her butt, boosting her higher.
At first, Qiao Yousi endured it, but by the fourth time, she playfully scolded, "Niu Zai, if you mess with me again, I'm really going to get mad, huh."
Luo Yang laughed and said, "Big Sister Qiao, you were slipping down, I just lifted you a bit to make it easier to carry you."
Once would have been okay, but it happened several times.
By the time they entered the general manager's office, Qiao Yousi was still twisting Luo Yang's ear.
Qiao Zai Shui asked what was going on, and after hearing her sister's explanation, laughed and said, "Just as I said, he's such a scoundrel, and yet you let him carry you."
Seeing Hong Jiaxin lying on the sofa with her eyes closed resting, Luo Yang smiled and asked, "Class monitor, do you want a massage?"
The afternoon still held more to experience.
"No need," Hong Jiaxin slightly opened her eyes.
They drove back from the hotel in a Volkswagen Lavida borrowed by Luo Yang.
The Shuang Qiao's car was also a Lavida, but left outside the hotel.
They were supposed to go out to dinner in the evening and drive it back then.
That afternoon, Luo Yang had to return to Hongyun Town to pick up An Yuying and Suyun and take them to the county to sign up for driving school; whether he could join the Shuang Qiao for dinner was still uncertain.
It had been Luo Yang's suggestion that the Shuang Qiao leave their car outside the hotel.
"Big Sister Qiao, let me go get your car for you," Luo Yang offered.
"You don't have a driver's license," Qiao Yousi pointed out.
"They won't check cars at this time. Big Sister Qiao, give me the car keys," Luo Yang glanced at the wall clock.
Just then, he received a call from Zhu Li.
Luo Yang curiously asked, "Sister Kick, what's up?"
Zhu Li said, "Are you free now? If so, please come to my bar."
They had gone to the county in the morning to help the Shuang Qiao deal with some debt collectors.
During lunch, Luo Yang had received a call from An Yuying saying he would return soon.
"Yeah, I'm in the county now, I'll be right back," Luo Yang said.
Knowing Zhu Li as he did, Luo Yang knew she wouldn't urgently summon him without a good reason.
Having dealt with one of the Lin Family's henchmen, Da Feng, the previous night, Luo Yang guessed Zhu Li probably wanted to discuss this matter.
After hanging up, Luo Yang said, "Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, I need to head back first. If they come again, just call me."
With Luo Yang by their side, the Shuang Qiao felt safe; his departure made them uneasy.
Having offended Wang Yunxiong, this was no laughing matter.
"Niu Zai, what will we do if they come for us?" Qiao Yousi expressed her worries.
This was a problem.
However, Luo Yang couldn't protect them 24/7.
But he had an idea, even though it was unlikely to achieve their goal in a short time.
"Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, I'll teach you martial arts later, so you won't have to fear them causing trouble," Luo Yang proposed.
The Shuang Qiao's eyes lit up.
"Teach us today!" Qiao Zai Shui excitedly said.
"This afternoon. I have to go back to Hongyun Town now," Luo Yang explained.
"Alright then, teach us the powerful moves, the kind that can beat up a dozen people," Qiao Zai Shui hoped ambitiously.
Hearing this, Luo Yang laughed.
Indeed, there are powerful moves in martial arts, but learning them requires a solid foundation.
The Shuang Qiao normally should exercise, perhaps rarely, judging by their delicate skin. Though beautiful, they weren't physically robust.
Given their condition, they might need three to five years to master the skills.
Luo Yang thought that telling the blunt truth might just dishearten the Shuang Qiao.
"Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, don't worry, I'll teach you the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, just one palm strike and..."
Before Luo Yang could finish, Hong Jiaxin burst out laughing.
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Hong Jiaxin laughed.
"Class leader, just trying to make a living here, don't expose my flaws," Luo Yang said with a chuckle.
"Sister just has to unveil your lies," Hong Jiaxin said, tipping up the corners of her mouth.
She leaned back on the couch, and with just a glance, Luo Yang enjoyed many splendid scenes, his body temperature soared.
Qiao Yousi said, "Cowboy, we'll take you as our master."
Recently, Luo Yang had already taken a few disciples, namely Hong Jiaxin, Qin Piao, and Tang Dexing.
"Big Sister Qiao, there's one condition for accepting disciples..." Luo Yang said with a sly smile.
"Don't fall for his tricks," Hong Jiaxin warned.
"Class leader, give me some face, okay? At least I am still your master," Luo Yang said with a smile.
This was a fact.
When they heard Hong Jiaxin was Luo Yang's disciple, the Qiao sisters were quite curious.
Upon asking, it turned out to be true.
Initially taking Luo Yang as a master wasn't out of genuine will for Hong Jiaxin; it was her dad who wanted her to do so.
Hong Jiaxin was the top student at Dongfeng Middle School, while Luo Yang was a poor student. Suddenly having her become Luo Yang's disciple and call him master was something she was quite uncomfortable with, and she felt unreconciled inside.
But after some experiences, gradually, Hong Jiaxin realized that although Luo Yang's academic knowledge was poor, his martial arts skills were unbelievably high.
Later, she finally accepted from the bottom of her heart that she had such a master, but it was still hard for her to call him "master" out loud.
This was related to her personality.
Hong Jiaxin had always been a competitive campus beauty who never admitted defeat easily. Even though her skills and strength weren't as good as Luo Yang's now, she believed there would be a chance to surpass him in the future.
Especially in front of a crowd, she wouldn't easily call Luo Yang "master."
"Cowboy, that settles it then. We'll take you as our master," Qiao Zai Shui said.
"Alright. But in the future, you'll have to call the class leader as Sister and respect her, are you willing?" Luo Yang asked with a smile.
The Qiao sisters were a few years older than Hong Jiaxin.
Hong Jiaxin was only 15 years old.
"No problem at all. Sister, we're family now," Qiao Zai Shui said generously.
Hong Jiaxin felt somewhat embarrassed being called sister.
But if she were in Qiao Zai Shui's shoes, she wouldn't call her "sister."
"Master, then teach us the secret techniques this afternoon. Are those with inner strength in TV shows real?" Qiao Zai Shui asked.
Luo Yang indeed had True Qi.
"They should be real. But cultivating inner strength is very difficult," Luo Yang said.
"Then teach us how to cultivate it," Qiao Zai Shui said urgently.
With the Qiao sisters' abilities, they probably wouldn't be able to cultivate True Qi even after several years.
"Sure. But accepting you as my disciples will require a small ritual," Luo Yang said with a chuckle.
Qiao Zai Shui asked curiously, "What kind of ritual?"
After hearing about the ritual Luo Yang mentioned, the three beauties present glared at him.
"Sister, when you took him as your master, did he ask you for a kiss too?" Qiao Zai Shui asked.
"If he dare. Sister would beat him to death," Hong Jiaxin said darkly.
The two were master and disciple, yet it was clear Hong Jiaxin wasn't afraid of Luo Yang, which the Qiao sisters found amusing.
"Cowboy, how about this: tonight at dinner, we'll toast to you as our official acceptance," Qiao Zai Shui suggested.
"A toast? A kiss would be better," Luo Yang joked.
The Qiao sisters glared at Luo Yang again.
Looking at the time, several more minutes had passed.
Zhu Li was still waiting at the bar, and Luo Yang said, "Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, we should head back now. See you this afternoon."
After bidding farewell to the Qiao sisters, Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin went downstairs.
Hong Jiaxin was slightly tipsy and unsteady on her feet.
"Class leader, shall I carry you down?" Luo Yang offered warmly.
"Where are your eyes looking? Trying to take advantage of me again, I'll beat you!" Hong Jiaxin lifted her foot and kicked over.
