The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

In the blink of an eye, Hua Ye was ruthlessly thrown into the warm spring water by Xu Zhi like a cannonball.

Caught off guard, she choked on the water and drank several mouthfuls in succession.

Hua Ye emerged from the water in a mess, his wet black hair like a steaming black waterfall.

She angrily pointed her hand straight at the air in front of her and kept cursing.

"I respectfully call you Master, but do you think I'm not giving you enough respect? How dare you treat me like this!"

She complained indignantly while quickly wiping the water droplets off her face with her other hand.

However, when she saw the scene clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned - she saw Xuzhi half-naked soaking in the hot spring pool, with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping, with no expression on his face.

Her eyes couldn't help but stay on him. His profile was so charming that she couldn't look away.

She felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

So she hurriedly reached out her hand to cover her chest, trying to calm her restless heart, and forced herself to turn her back to him without looking at him again.

Hua Ye calmed down his mood, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down, but he still felt a little indignant in his heart.

She looked at Xuzhi in front of her and became more and more angry, so she scooped up a handful of water and splashed it hard on Xuzhi's face.

However, something unexpected happened - the splashed water actually landed right on his face!

Hua Ye was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Then, a surge of anger surged in her heart, making her cheeks puff up with anger. She stared at Xu Zhi, her eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

(I can’t defeat him in a fight, and I can’t defeat him in a sneak attack. Do I really have to accept my fate?) Hua Ye pondered in his heart.

He gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued, "Aren't you in love with Sister Wutong?" There was a hint of questioning in his voice.

Xuzhi remained silent, seemingly not intending to answer the question.

Seeing this, Hua Ye couldn't help but ask again: "Then why did you carry me out in front of her?"

After saying that, she clenched her fists tightly, and her joints turned slightly white from the force.

..........

The more Hua Ye thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He rolled his eyes several times in annoyance, but even so, the anger in his heart could not be eliminated. Instead, it became more and more intense.

"There is nothing personal between me and her. We are just a pure master-disciple relationship. This is unlike the relationship between you and me..."

Xu Zhi slowly opened his eyes which were originally closed, and then stared at Hua Ye with a look full of deep meaning.

There seemed to be endless secrets hidden deep in his eyes, and his tone of voice was particularly firm and serious, as if he wanted to show the other party that what he said was true.

However, what was unexpected was that after hearing Xu Zhi say this, Hua Ye seemed a little flustered and she hurriedly began to explain.

"There's only a simple master-disciple relationship between you and me..." Obviously, she was very eager to draw a clear line between herself and Xu Zhi at this moment.

"Oh? Really? Can a master and disciple who have slept together still be called pure?"

The corners of Xuzhi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a half-smile. At the same time, he supported his arms on the stone wall next to him, leaned his body slightly, and asked Hua Ye softly in a nonchalant manner.

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Hua Ye's heart, making the latter's face turn red with shame.

"Master, what you said is really too much! How can you casually tell others about such things?"

Being teased by Xu Zhi like this, Hua Ye couldn't help feeling embarrassed and annoyed, but more of it was helplessness.

Xuzhi raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force instantly spread out.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Ye crossed the water easily like a boat, and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Before Hua Ye could react, he was already tightly embraced by a warm embrace.

"Yer, please don't give me up next time! I don't want anyone else except you!"

These words seemed to carry a strange magic, like a stream of clear spring flowing into Hua Ye's originally restless heart, making her hard heart gradually soften.

"Okay, okay, I won't let you..."

Hua Ye nodded helplessly, but there was a barely perceptible joy in his eyes.

I thought to myself, "I really can't bear to part with you, this great Buddha. You can make wind blow and rain rain when you want it, and most importantly, you can turn stone into gold!"
