Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

"Ah, no, Teacher Li, what exactly happened?" Qin Yu asked.

Liu Damao and Li Xiaoke followed behind, their eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia gave a wry smile, then shook her head and said:

"Let's not talk about that for now. You haven't eaten yet, have you? To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to dinner today."

"Oh? How could I possibly accept this?"

Qin Yu and the other two scratched their heads sheepishly.

Li Muxia was about to say "No need to be polite" when the three people in front of her immediately smiled and said:

"But we can't refuse Teacher Li's kind offer, so let's reluctantly give Teacher Li face!"

Li Muxia: "..."

Okay, you guys are still the same cheeky kids you always were, without changing a single thing...

Afterwards, the group went to a hot pot restaurant.

While the dishes were being served, Li Muxia recounted the whole story to Qin Yu and the others.

That happened when she had just started college.

At that time, she was naive and infatuated, and started dating a boy who hadn't even graduated from junior high school and was already working in a factory.

At first, the boy treated her very well, giving her meticulous care and protection, which gave her a great sense of dependence after losing her father at a young age.

This led her to marry this guy despite her mother's objections, when she was only a junior in college.

But after getting married, everything completely changed.

After getting married, the man completely dropped his pretense. He was no longer gentle and considerate towards her. Instead, he became irritable and easily angered, used foul language, and even developed bad habits such as alcoholism and gambling.

Fortunately, she was much stronger than her opponent, so he didn't dare to hit her, and she didn't suffer domestic violence.

She endured it for six months, but finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to get a divorce.

But to everyone's surprise, the boy completely disagreed and then disappeared without a trace.

A year passed just like that.

One day, a group of creditors suddenly came to her door, saying that her husband had incurred huge gambling debts and that she had to repay them.

Then, they would come and bother her every few days, disturbing her peace and quiet.

After hearing the whole story, Qin Yu and the other two fell silent.

They never imagined that Ms. Li Muxia, who usually seemed so youthful and cheerful, had such a tragic and unknown past.

"hateful!"

Liu Damao clenched his fists, his face filled with resentment.

Li Muxia shook her head with a wry smile and said softly:

"Da Mao, it's alright, the teacher has already let it go..."

"I just realized that there's only oil dipping sauce here, no sesame paste!"

"..." Li Muxia's lips twitched suddenly.

"What kind of hot pot restaurant is this? They don't even have sesame sauce! It's not authentic at all!"

Liu Damao pursed his lips: "By the way, Teacher Li, what were you trying to say to me just now?"

"I wanted to say... well, never mind, I don't have anything to say." Li Muxia shook her head speechlessly.

Snapped!

Qin Yu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and gave Liu Damao a sharp rap on the head.

"Teacher Li is getting all sentimental, but all you're concerned about is whether there's sesame paste. Don't be so ridiculous!"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Muxia with a sorrowful expression and offered words of comfort:

“Teacher Li, I have been listening the whole time, and I feel very sorry for what you have gone through.”

Hearing this, Li Muxia felt a surge of warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Qin Yu, I..."

"Here comes the little fat beef!"

The waiter brought over two large platters of fatty beef.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yu and his two companions instantly perked up, their ears no longer able to hear anything else, their eyes only fixed on the fat beef.

"This plate is mine, and nobody can take it from me!"

"Bullshit! There were two plates in total, and you took one. Where's your face?"

"Hehe, if you guys are fighting over the beef, then this plate of tripe is mine!"

“&@￥%￥……”

Li Muxia: "..."

"This fatty beef is absolutely amazing!"

As Liu Damao ate his sliced ​​beef hotpot with gusto, he couldn't help but sigh.

Li Xiaoke nodded repeatedly:

"Indeed, this sliced ​​beef is fragrant but not greasy, and has a tender and juicy texture. It's absolutely delicious!"
