After getting off work on Friday, Huang Shang took Xueno home to clean up the room.

The new bachelor apartment is ready. I will help Yukino pack the things at home today, and I will call the moving company to move the things there tomorrow.

Xueno has packed some things in the past few days. What Huang Shang needs to pack is some big items, such as wooden beds, mattresses, sofas, coffee tables, etc., as well as those frozen items in the refrigerator that cannot be moved away.

I can try to eat it as dinner tonight.

There are frozen dumplings, mutton slices, beef tenderloin, frozen shrimp, and several boxes of ice cream.

The heating in the community is hot, so it is common to eat cold drinks to cool down in winter.

Seeing that there were two potatoes, half a cabbage, and ready-made hot pot base and dipping sauce in the refrigerated layer, Huang Shang said, "How about having hot pot tonight?"

"Yes." Yukino put some books in the box, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and said, "You are obviously here to help me move, but I still want to trouble you to cook."

"It's okay, friends should help each other."

It took more than an hour to put all the things that needed to be packed into cartons and seal them with tape. The remaining large items will be taken care of when the moving company comes tomorrow.

Putting things away made Yukino break out in a sweat, and she couldn't stand the sticky feeling. In addition, Huang Shang went to the kitchen to handle the ingredients for the hot pot, so Yukino took the opportunity to take a hot bath, wash and dry the clothes she changed into, and hang them to dry.

On the balcony.

There is heating in the house, so it only takes one night to dry out.

But hanging her private clothes on the balcony in front of Huang Shang made her a little shy. Fortunately, Huang Shang didn't care about this. For a married man, it was just a few things.

It's just a piece of cloth, what's so exciting about it? Those who get excited must be perverts.

The two of them were eating hot pot. During this period, Qianhua sent a video call. When they saw Huang Shang and Xueno eating hot pot, they immediately started drooling: "Hot pot, it looks so delicious."

Huang Shang smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, but I really want to eat hot pot!" Qianhua stared at the hot pot, as if she wanted to penetrate the screen and drag the hot pot to her.

"It's been three years, and Qianhua is still the same." Yukino smiled slightly and said, "Has your studies been going well recently?"

"Isn't Yukino-chan the same as before!" Qianhua said: "My studies are going very well. Although my grades are average, I will definitely succeed."

"What's the reason?" Huang Shang snorted: "You stay late and leave early all day long. If your grades weren't good, students like you would have been expelled by your instructor."

"People just play too late at night and oversleep in the morning." Qianhua pouted, looking like "I know I was wrong, but I just won't change it."

"This is wrong." Yukino's face became serious: "If you don't study hard, you will not only waste the tuition fees paid by your parents, but also waste your time, causing irreparable regrets."

"Hey, hey, if you don't talk about this, you can continue to eat hot pot!" After a pause: "By the way, why are you eating hot pot together? Or at Yukino-chan's house?"

"Xue Na is moving to a new house tomorrow, so I'll come over to help clean it up." Huang Shang said, "You have the weekend off now. Do you want to come over and help tomorrow? By the way, we can play here for two days."

"Okay!" Qianhua's eyes lit up and she said, "I'm going to book the tickets now, and I'll call you when I get there."

"Don't be in such a hurry." Yukino said, "It's too late today, it's not too late to come back tomorrow."

"Hey hey, you have to buy a ticket. I'll book the ticket first." Qianhua said, "Forget it for now, I'm going to book the ticket. Yukino-chan has a good sleep tonight. When I arrive, I will tell Brother Huang Shang to pick him up.

mine."

After saying that, Qianhua hung up the phone.

Xueno frowned slightly and said: "You are an adult, but you are still so reckless."

"If she wasn't reckless, she wouldn't be Qianhua." Huang Shang took a mouthful of mutton slices and said, "I'm busy again today."

"Qianhua won't really come here overnight, right?" Yukino said.

"Based on her character, there's a high probability." Huang Shang took out his mobile phone and checked the train number from Beijing to SC. Coincidentally, there will be one in an hour. It is now 7:30 in the evening. Qianhua really takes this train.

I'll arrive in SC around 10pm.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it will be very cold at night.

"You go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will bring Qianhua over to help with the move." Huang Shang said.

Yukino nodded, ate a few mouthfuls of hot-boiled vegetables, and asked casually: "Dragonfly-san, do you know Qianhua?"

"They know each other, but Dragonfly doesn't know." Huang Shang said, "She always thought Qianhua and I were just friends."

"Is it really okay to cheat on your wife?" Yukino seemed to be asking herself.

"There is nothing we can do about it." Huang Shang said: "Qianhua knows what kind of person I am, and she is willing to be with me regardless of her status. She is the eldest lady of the Fujiwara family. It is difficult for me to make such a sacrifice.

Reject her."

Xueno was silent for a moment and said: "What if Dragonfly-san finds out about your affairs..."

"It doesn't matter if you know." Huang Shang put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with tissue paper, and said, "I will let her forget about it."

"..." Xueno looked at him and said: "Use magic?"

"Heh..." Huang Shang smiled: "How do you know it's a spell?"

Xueno pinched the protective copper coin around her neck and said, "It's just a guess."

"That's it." Huang Shang stretched out his hand and pinched the other end of the protective copper coin. Xueno's fingers did not move away, and their hands touched together.

Xueno's face turned red, Huang Shang didn't think too much and poured a trace of mana into the protective copper coin.

After a moment, he moved his hand away and said: "The energy consumed by the copper coins has been replenished, and you still have three opportunities to protect yourself. If you encounter any problems, please contact me immediately and I will arrive as soon as possible."

Yukino looked at the faintly glowing copper coins, took a deep breath, and said, "Can you tell me who you are?"

"Just a monk." Huang Shang said.

Monk?

"I..." Xueno stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Huang Shangdao: "Between friends, there is no need to be shy."

This sentence gave Yukino great courage. He raised his eyes, looked at each other and said, "Can I learn it?"

Huang Shang was not in a hurry to refuse, but asked: "What's the reason?"

"I have already encountered terrible things twice." Xueno clenched her pink fist tightly and said: "I'm afraid that it will happen a third time, a fourth time, a fifth time... In case you can't come by then, I hope

Have the ability to protect yourself.”

"There are good reasons." Looking at Yukino's eyes, they were filled with desire and expectation. It was not the pursuit of power, but the hope that he would be able to protect himself and those around him.

"But have you ever heard of such a saying?"

"I don't know which sentence it is?" Yukino sat upright.

"The law should not be passed lightly." Huang Shang stretched out his right index finger, and on the fingertip there was a small ball of light that kept changing colors. Xueno was shocked, surprised, and even a little fanatical when he saw it.

"If you want to learn magic, you have to pay a price." Huang Shang said, "For example, give me your useful body."

After hearing this, Xueno frowned slightly and pursed her lips.

After a moment of silence, Xueno took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."

She got up, closed the curtains, locked the door, then stood in front of him and unbuttoned her pajamas.

"..." Huang Shang was a little confused: "What are you doing?"

Yukino pursed her lips and said, "I am willing to pay the price with my body."

"Well, although it does require you to sacrifice your body, what you understand is different from what I mean."

Yukino was stunned.

Huang Shang coughed dryly: "What I mean is that if you want to learn, you have to become a disciple. From now on, you will be my disciple. I will teach you the magic, and you will work for me. As the saying goes, if a disciple has something to do, he must obey him, and I plan to take care of him."

I'll leave some of the company's affairs to you, so that I can have more time to do other things."

Yukino's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly covered her chest with her hands, her eyes filled with tears.

"Ahem, if you are willing, you can become my master now." Huang Shang said.

Yukino turned around, fastened the buttons, calmed down her mind, and said, "What should I do?"

"Just propose a cup of tea." Huang Shang said, "This is my first time accepting a disciple, so there are no rules."

Yukino silently poured a cup of hot tea, then held the cup with both hands and bowed ninety degrees: "Master, please use the tea."

"Well, good." Huang Shang took the tea cup, took a sip of hot tea, and said: "I drank the apprenticeship tea. From now on, you will be my great apprentice. I will teach you magical spells. I hope you can learn them carefully."

, firstly, I can protect myself, and secondly, if I have something to do as a teacher in the future, you can help me."

Yukino nodded: "Disciple must work hard to learn spells from master."

"That's good." Huang Shang put down the teacup and said, "In that case, you should first slowly familiarize yourself with the various work affairs of the company by my side. When you feel that you are ready, I will let you be the general manager.

In charge of the company's affairs."

Yukino nodded and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Then we will be masters and disciples from now on, not friends, right?"

"We are both master and disciple, but also friends." Huang Shang said: "From now on, I will still call you Xueno. In the company or in front of outsiders, you will still call me Mr. Huang. When there are no outsiders, you will call me Master."

Xueno breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I understand, Master."

The call was smooth and there was no psychological resistance.

"Let's eat!" Huang Shang said: "You have to finish all these tonight, otherwise it will be wasted."

Yukino nodded, and after sitting down again, he was not in a hurry to eat, but asked cautiously: "Master, when will you teach me the magic?"

"No rush." ​​Huang Shang said: "After we move tomorrow, I will give you a book list. You buy all these books according to the titles on the list, and then read them in order according to the titles. What are you waiting for?

When you read all these books and master the contents, I will teach you how to practice."

"..."

Yukino was stunned: "Master, what book are you talking about? How many books are there?"

"It's hard to say how many books there are. It depends on the printing. But there are a lot of words. It will take about two or three months for you to read them all." Huang Shang stretched out three fingers and said: "It will take at least three years to master the contents of the book. Can you persist?
Chapter completed!
