Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 164: Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

If Li Mubai were a boatman, then Pei Xue would be a small boat.

When Li Mubai and Pei Xue had lunch, Pei Xue went to bring a thermos lunchbox for Yun Nan. She looked completely different from her usual self.

Just like a lost little girl.

However, when she entered the rain room, her stunning figure was definitely not something a little girl could compare to.

Fortunately.

The time they spent together reduced a lot of barriers between them. Coupled with the matriarchal world, Pei Xue quickly adjusted.

From the bathroom to the bedroom.

Time flew by quickly.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Pei Xue had already fallen asleep. Li Mubai didn't disturb her and rarely let her off. He made himself a late lunch.

He left some food for Pei Xue and estimated the time when Yun Nan would come. After a short while of handing over the thermos lunchbox to Yun Nan, Zhang Chuyun called.

"Hello... Mubai, I'm downstairs."

"Okay, I'll come down."

Li Mubai was sitting in the study at the moment. He had been delayed for quite some time today and didn't even have time to write a new song.

He was fine.

He had to write a new song for Xu Shiwen first, after all, she had to memorize the lyrics and practice.

Deciding to work overtime in the evening, Li Mubai left a note for Pei Xue and went downstairs again.

Zhang Chuyun obviously made an effort today. She changed her clothes from head to toe and looked much more refined. Even the car was washed and looked brand new.

As if it was intentional, Zhang Chuyun stood straight, allowing Li Mubai to scrutinize her.

They had just eaten a heavy meal at noon, and it lasted for six or seven hours. Pei Xue had fainted from exhaustion, but Li Mubai still felt somewhat tempted by Zhang Chuyun.

Could this be the downside of the system increasing its own attributes?

Li Mubai: It should be considered a reward to some extent.

Quietly swallowing his saliva, Li Mubai silently recited the highest principles of Buddhism in his heart.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

"You look really good today."

"Not good-looking usually?"

Li Mubai sat in the passenger seat and voiced his confusion.

Zhang Chuyun quickly waved her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking somewhat flustered as if she hadn't dealt with this kind of situation before.

"You're always good-looking, but you look even better today."

Seeing Zhang Chuyun busy explaining, Li Mubai smiled faintly, "Let's drive."

Li Mubai also changed his clothes.

He was wrapped up tightly, but it was rare for him to deliberately tidy up his whole body.

After all, he was going to the girl's house to meet her parents.

So... Li Mubai, who already had extraordinary looks, attracted even more attention from his fans.

"Mubai... You usually wear sunglasses. Don't do what happened last time again."

Zhang Chuyun was referring to the incident where Li Mubai's head was hit.

Li Mubai pondered for a moment, "Well, but I don't usually go out. I'm busy writing a new song these days, so it's okay."

"That's good."

Zhang Chuyun drove the car, her gaze constantly shifting towards Li Mubai.

The two of them had completely unrelated work and social circles, so Zhang Chuyun couldn't come up with any topics for a while.

Li Mubai pretended not to notice and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, stop the car by the roadside. It's my first time going to your house, and I forgot to buy a gift."

"It's okay, my parents don't really care."

"That won't work... How can we go empty-handed?"

When visiting someone's home, it's customary to bring something. Gift-giving is a tradition in this world.

"Tell me what your parents like. We'll go to the shopping mall ahead and I'll pick something suitable."

Zhang Chuyun immediately started talking about her parents and her family.

She opened up and started talking freely.

The atmosphere suddenly improved a lot.

Zhang Chuyun's mother, like Zhang Chuyun, was in an official position, but her father was a scholar.

They were a family of officials and scholars, with both aspects equally important.

There were quite a few taboos, and the gifts definitely couldn't be too valuable.

For the overall gift, Li Mubai chose Da Hong Pao, a type of red tea.

Zhang Chuyun's family consisted of five people in total.

Because Zhang Chuyun's two older brothers were already married, they were not counted as part of the family.

Li Mubai then picked a small gift for Zhang Chuyun's mother, father, grandfather, and grandmother, based on their preferences.

For those who liked drinking, a bottle of fine wine was given.

For those who liked dressing up, perfume or a silk scarf was given. When it came to gifts, cosmetics were not suitable.

For those who liked staying in the study, calligraphy and painting supplies were chosen.

Not much money was spent, but Zhang Chuyun carried a large pile of things and got back in the car with Li Mubai.

Hmm.

Actually, buying things was intentional on Li Mubai's part.

It was to miss the mealtime and then go.

It wasn't because Li Mubai had just eaten, but because it would be awkward to eat with strangers.

Everything was ready, and it was almost 7:10. They arrived at Zhang Chuyun's doorstep.

It was already 7:30.

Just by entering Zhang Chuyun's courtyard, Li Mubai felt a sense of respect.

It was obvious that Zhang Chuyun's grandparents had come specially. Not only had they come, but there were also several female bodyguards and a dedicated female doctor.

There was no need for a body search or anything, which relieved Li Mubai.

Li Mubai didn't know what the battlefield of the female-dominated world was like.

It was also hard to imagine.

After all... Li Mubai had never seen women going to battle on TV in his previous life.

As for the few times they did appear, the armor they wore was like a show, and it was too exaggerated. Could it be trusted?

When Li Mubai saw Zhang Chuyun's grandmother, he had a rough idea.

The women in this world were generally tall, starting at 175 cm. Even if Zhang Chuyun's grandmother was old and had shrunk a bit, Li Mubai estimated that she could still be around 180 cm.

Her mental state was still quite good, but she liked to talk a lot and spoke to Li Mubai for a long time.

When the doctor reminded them of the time, Li Mubai quickly planned to leave, but Zhang Chuyun's grandmother was still staring at him.

It was a bit intimidating.

It wasn't an angry or imposing aura, but a real, murderous gaze that had seen blood.

Li Mubai remembered a saying from his previous life...

Women who have killed are different.

Although Yun Nan was usually fierce, she would probably be like a little kitten in front of this woman.

After leaving the large room, Li Mubai took a deep breath before going to the living room with Zhang Chuyun again.

Zhang Chuyun's parents had been waiting inside...
