Chapter 31 (1/2)

Gao Xuan’s words were those of a scumbag, but Wei Zhenzhen accepted the offer and followed Gao Xuan to the living room on the other floor.

From this position, she could just see the glass pool above her head. Sunlight was pouring into the living room through the pool and rippling with the water.

The apartment’s style was modern and exquisite, yet it also had a few elements of the outside that made one feel at one with nature.

Jiang Xuejun felt that the apartment’s design was all right. It was functional and a bit artistic.

Of course, this was still the Sixth Ring. No matter how great the apartment was, it couldn’t compare to those apartments that were closer to the center of the city.

Gao Xuan, who was sitting off to the side, made the entire room much more attractive.

Gao Xuan had taken a shower and changed into a loose gray T-shirt and shorts. His long hair was still damp, but this only made him look exceptionally clean and refreshed.

The anger Jiang Xuejun had been feeling immediately faded away without her realizing it. She had to admit that the other party was pleasing to the eye.

In front of such a man, unless the situation was really serious, it was impossible to be angry.

Wei Zhenzhen was even worse off. She’d forgotten to cry and was staring straight at Gao Xuan. Her eyes were filled with love for him.

Gao Xuan swept his fringe aside and allowed it to naturally drape over half his eyes.

“We got together and then should’ve peacefully parted ways,” he said slowly. “It’s unpleasant when outsiders get involved.”

“I just wanted to have another chat with you,” Wei Zhenzhen said indignantly. “I didn’t have any other intentions.”

Gao Xuan shook his head. “Don’t be like that next time. It’s not good for you, not good for me, and not good for your friends.”

He told Jiang Xuejun, “I can tell that you’re rather mature and experienced. Don’t throw a tantrum with Zhenzhen.

“After all, I’m a busy man,” Gao Xuan signed. “I don’t have as much free time as the two of you.”

Jiang Xuejun said seriously, “Gao Xuan, don’t be prejudiced against us. Zhenzhen’s also very mature and doesn’t hold anything against you even though you were a bit much.”

“People in our generation get together if they like each other and separate if they don’t,” Gao Xuan said nonchalantly. “What era are we in? The era of gender equality. It’s pointless to talk about who owes who what. Our generation can hardly say who’s right or wrong in a conflict of interest.”

Jiang Xuejun wanted to argue, but Gao Xuan cut her off and went on, “I can see that you’re also an expert in cultivation, so why don’t you understand this?”

He said calmly, “We strive to reach the pinnacle of our strength, elevate our lives, and chase after eternity. So-called ‘love’ is just a game we play on this long road of life. There’s passion but no love. There are laws but no morals. That’s the enlightenment of our generation, our generation’s style!”

Jiang Xuejun was immensely shocked. She was speechless.

She didn’t think that a man younger than herself would be capable of saying such things.

Indeed, this wasn’t limited to the road of cultivation. It applied to every aspect of life. Powerful fighters had to put their whole heart into the pursuit of strength to have a chance of success.

To a fighter, passion and love were secondary.

Jiang Xuejun knew this, but she didn’t have a lot of experience with it.

She became incredibly shocked after Gao Xuan finished calmly saying these things.

It was as though Gao Xuan had always done just this. He had passion, yet wasn’t trapped by love. He had his personal rules but wasn’t bound by morals.

Jiang Xuejun only realized now where Gao Xuan’s unruly demeanor had come from.

Jiang Xuejun had detested him a little just now. She had detested how he’d played with Wei Zhenzhen’s feelings by using his looks. However, now she admired him.

To acquire such an understanding at such a young age. He was impressive. If he didn’t die in some unfortunate accident, he would definitely go on to achieve great things!

Wei Zhenzhen could barely understand what they were saying, but she still felt that Gao Xuan had said something awful, although she couldn’t quite say why.

Yet, Jiang Xuejun looked like she’d just had an epiphany. It made Wei Zhenzhen even more confused.

She waited a moment but was ultimately unable to stop herself from asking Jiang Xuejun, “What did he say?”

“He said that he’ll never love anyone. To him, love is just a game.”

“Then he is a scumbag!”

Wei Zhenzhen understood. She couldn’t help but glare at Gao Xuan.

However, Gao Xuan smiled and told Wei Zhenzhen, “We can still be friends even if we can’t be lovers. We can have a deep, harmonious relationship with each other as equals.”

He said with a concerned expression on his face, “I can tell that you’re not feeling too great. You must not have rested well over these past two days. Do you want to come and take a nap in my room?”

Jiang Xuejun was shocked. What was Gao Xuan doing? He was openly flirting with Wei Zhenzhen.

But what shocked her even more was that Wei Zhenzhen was seriously considering his proposal.

Jiang Xuejun was a little angry. He clearly only wanted to fool around with her. Why did Wei Zhenzhen still care about him?

Even though she admired Gao Xuan’s intelligence and untamed spirit, she would never allow her friend to sink to such depths.

Jiang Xuejun was just about to convince Wei Zhenzhen to leave, but Wei Zhenzhen suddenly stood up and said, “I’m very tired. Will you accompany me to your bedroom?”

Gao Xuan smiled. “Of course. We are friends after all.”
