But why did he come to find her? Although Humei didn't believe her sister's words, she was actually a bit puzzled in her heart.
Seeing her expression, Hu Jiaoyi sighed deeply, "Blindly stubborn, you will eventually suffer a great loss."
Humei said angrily, "I won't talk to you anymore. He must have something important to discuss with me. I'll go ask him."
Just as she was about to get up, her sister held her down. Hu Jiaoyi's eyes twinkled, and she giggled, "Little sister, how about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?" Humei looked puzzled.
"Let's bet on whether he's a hypocrite! If he's really as you say, he will definitely remain calm. If he's not, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As Hu Jiaoyi spoke, a cold and sinister light flickered in her eyes.
Over the years, Humei had stirred up trouble outside, but she had managed to maintain her purity largely thanks to her sister. Those who harbored ill intentions and tried to force themselves on Humei always met with mysterious deaths.
Humei knew her sister's methods all too well. Seeing her expression, she knew she must be planning something devious.
"What are you going to do, Sister?" Humei exclaimed in shock.
"Just watch, hmpf!" Hu Jiaoyi waved her hand, and a misty light enveloped her sister. Gradually, Humei's body faded and eventually disappeared.
"Don't do anything rash, Sister!" Humei pounded the air, but no sound came out. She couldn't even step out of the one-meter radius around her feet, and could only watch everything in the room, growing increasingly anxious.
Outside the door, Yang Kai waited for a while but saw no sign of Humei coming to open it. He sighed helplessly.
It seemed he had really offended her that day. It was only natural for her to be angry. Any woman would be upset after hearing what he said.
Well, Yang Kai hadn't really expected much. He had only come to try. Now that she didn't want to talk to him, he couldn't force the issue.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Humei's voice came from inside the room, "Come in."
Yang Kai was taken aback. After a moment's hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked in.
He closed the door behind him, and the noise outside suddenly disappeared, leaving only a peaceful silence.
Yang Kai looked around and found that the wooden house was about the same size as the one Su Yan stayed in, but the furnishings were much better. Su Yan's room was completely bare, just a simple wooden house, reflecting her cold and distant personality.
In contrast, this room had a table, two chairs, and even a bed with a pink canopy, as light as a cicada's wing. There was a small pillow on the bed, and the room was filled with a delicate fragrance.
This place and Su Yan's were like two different worlds.
Hu Jiaoyi sat at the table, facing the direction where Yang Kai entered. Her eyes were bright and alluring, and she stared at him with a strange look, a smile playing on her lips. Her cheeks were flushed, making her even more enchanting.
Her two bare arms were as smooth and white as a baby's, and she wore wooden sandals, exposing her small, delicate toes. Her toenails were painted a deep purple, adding a wild and seductive charm.
Yang Kai's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know why, but today Humei seemed especially alluring, more charming than when he had seen her before.
However, her smile made him feel awkward, as if she was mocking him.
At that moment, Humei was holding a flat, round fan, fanning herself with a thousand graces. Her hair fluttered in the breeze, adding a touch of lazy elegance.
The fan was embroidered with a picture of a courtesan, whose figure was seductive and voluptuous, posing in a tempting manner. If the embroidery were any less, it would be a pornographic image.
Yang Kai glanced at it and thought, "This woman is indeed bold. Any other woman would be ashamed to even look at it, let alone use it as a fan. She's not an ordinary person."
But... why had Humei changed so much in just over half a month?
Although she was staring at him, Yang Kai was not intimidated. He walked toward her, maintaining eye contact without any sign of backing down. He had seen her embarrassing moment, which was like holding a trump card over her. Now, he wouldn't be afraid to face her.
Under his gaze, Hu Jiaoyi, pretending to be Humei, felt a bit overwhelmed. She thought, "This person is really bold. Who would stare at a beautiful woman like this? He doesn't even know how to be polite. Truly, he doesn't understand the art of romance."
However... his eyes were clear, with no trace of lust.
When he reached the table, Yang Kai clasped his hands and said, "Miss Humei, it's been over ten days, and you look even more charming."
This made Hu Jiaoyi giggle, "You know how to flatter, don't you?"
Hu Jiaoyi knew everything about Yang Kai from Humei, so she wasn't worried about giving herself away.
Yang Kai smiled, "I'm just speaking the truth."
As he spoke, he sat down opposite her, feeling relieved. It seemed this woman wasn't angry with him, which made things easier.
"Miss Humei, I came here today..." Yang Kai intended to state his purpose directly, to appear more sincere.
"Let's not rush into business." Hu Jiaoyi put down the fan, stood up gracefully, and poured a cup of tea for Yang Kai. "It's hot outside. Have a cup of tea to refresh your throat, and we can talk later."
"Sure!" Yang Kai nodded, enjoying her hospitality. He took a sip of the tea, and his expression suddenly became a bit strange.
Hu Jiaoyi returned to her seat, propping her chin with her hands, and looked at him leisurely, "How do you find this tea, Junior Brother Yang?"
Yang Kai was thinking about something else. He raised his eyes and looked at Hu Jiaoyi meaningfully before saying, "The tea leaves are flat and palm-like, slender and straight, with a color as green as jade. The leaves at the bottom are misty and fragrant, making it a high-quality tea."
Hu Jiaoyi was taken aback, looking at Yang Kai in surprise, "You understand tea?"
Even she didn't understand it; she just drank it. She was surprised that Yang Kai could describe it so well.
Yang Kai shook his head, "I know a little, but I'm not an expert."
"Then, how do you think this tea compares to me?" Hu Jiaoyi looked at Yang Kai, her breath as sweet as a mountain spring, and as clear as a hundred-year-old wine, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
For no reason, Yang Kai suddenly felt his breathing quicken, and his blood began to surge. He almost blurted out, "The tea is good, but you are even better."
"Ha ha..." Hu Jiaoyi laughed, her chest trembling.
Yang Kai's eyes were fixed on her ample bosom, and his Adam's apple moved involuntarily.
Hu Jiaoyi picked up the fan, blocking her chest, but deliberately showing him the exposed courtesan image. Yang Kai's face turned red.
