Chapter 118: Old Affections

Returning home after school, Gu Huaizheng was already cooking. Li Fengying had brought back a raw chicken, a slab of pork belly, and a basket of vegetables from her own garden. Pressed for time, Gu Huaizheng stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, made an eggplant dish, and prepared a tomato and egg soup. The staple food was hand-pulled noodles. The couple ate a quick meal and hurried to the military camp; the review meeting was at one o'clock, and they could not afford to be late. As they reached the camp gate, Lu Jianwei sensed someone...

Thinking of this, Chen Hui felt exhilarated. What if the descendants of the British Empire were all working for the people of Hong Kong? What kind of concept would that be? If the ancestors of the British Empire saw this scene from heaven, would they be angered to death and fall into the depths of hell?

"Going to the Northern Sea Island all by yourself? That is the stronghold of the East Asian genetic superhumans!" someone exclaimed in shock.

The burly man stared in disbelief at the long hairpin embedded in his throat. His complexion turned fearful and ashen, his hands clutching the portion of the hairpin still protruding from his neck. He dared not pull it out rashly, yet he could not simply leave it embedded there.

"Gu Qingyu has wronged Gu Shuiyue. Gu Shuiyue’s status is not what it used to be; she is the future Princess of the Yun Prince’s Mansion. To release Gu Qingyu, we must have Gu Shuiyue’s consent," Lady Lin said.

...Hearing Chen Jun say this, the others finally remembered. It was true; since eating breakfast, none of them had had a drop to eat. Fighting was physically demanding work, and they were already starving.

To Zhou Huasheng, young people were always ruled by emotion, acting impulsively without considering the consequences, caring only for the pleasures of the moment.

P.S.: Thanks to "I Am Not Flying North," in celebration of my first helmsman, I am releasing three chapters, this being the first.

Chen Hui opened his phone’s trading software and saw that the USD/JPY pair was in a slow decline. He was in no rush to close his 500,000-lot short position on the dollar.

Listening to Shen Chang’an’s words, I swallowed hard. I knew the logic behind it, of course, but such medicinal plants that could enhance life force were always priced without a market; ordinary people simply could not buy them.

During the rotation phase of the second quarter, the Splash Brothers split up to lead the bench. In terms of experience and combat capability, the Golden State Warriors’ reserves were no weaker than the Los Angeles Lakers’, and perhaps even superior. Their dynamic offensive system was perfectly suited for everyone to contribute.

It turned out that just as Wang Chaochao was shocked by Chen Tianhao’s immense strength, Chen Tianhao had already pulled his foot back.

Rather than arguing, it was more effective to take action and prove himself. Li Zhe had spent the night planning how to handle the players' contracts, deciding which to trade, which to buy out, and how to find free agents to bolster the lineup.

Even though Liu Hui had explained everything, Zhao Xiang’s attitude remained firm. Even if his body was incredibly honest and stood at attention, his heart suppressed all defiance.

The Grand General made it clear that Yuan Jue was currently under house arrest and the other princes were still young, with no one to contest the throne with him. He advised Du Yan not to be overly hasty, lest he earn the eternal infamy of a regicide and parricide.

Taylor crossed half-court and immediately passed the ball, then took long strides toward the corner. Westbrook hesitated for half a second before following him.

After the previous incident, although people still lived in Wolong Villa, all the top wealthy families of He City had moved out. Who could guarantee that just because an accident had happened once, it wouldn't happen again?

However, when the lighter fell, it did not land in Zhou Daren’s palm, but into another hand.

Yu Huan feinted with his left hand, using his body to provide resistance. Just as Trey Burke tried to switch hands and change direction, Yu Huan’s right hand struck like a viper hunting its prey.

"Class doesn't start for another twenty minutes. I’m just looking at your deathly pale face—you look like you’d scare a ghost to death. It would be bad if you fainted in some corner and scared someone." It was the same old He Jin-style sharp-tongued remark.
