Chapter 34: Should I Sleep Under the Bed Then?
During the days of the cold war with Ding Le, he had no idea how Ding Le was faring, but for himself, it was miserable. He slept very little and ate poorly at the Public Security Bureau, all while having to make regular, secret calls to check on Ding Le. To buy more time to be with him, he worked overtime every day, finally clearing through the mountain of accumulated work.
He placed the crystal box on the cabinet in the middle of the living room. Since there were no candies or toys in the house, he took a few pieces of fruit from the refrigerator to offer before the box.
The handsome man had just finished bandaging his wound when he heard the fat woman's words, startled so badly that he spilled the contents of his medical kit all over the floor.
"A high-tier earth-grade martial art? You are certainly generous with your offerings," the Fire Leopard glanced at him and sneered.
Jiang Chen bent his legs and knelt straight down onto the cold floor. The impact of bone against the hard surface was harsh and painful, but he held his body upright, looking calmly at Jiang Min'an.
In the past, Su Yao would never have associated the word "pity" with such people, because every pitiable person has their detestable side. Just as you begin to feel sorry for them, they dissolve your resentment and grievances, only to make you realize that in them, pity and hatred are inseparable.
Chu Yang struck with a heavy punch, but the ice lotus instantly closed to shield Baili Yu inside. Chu Yang’s fist could not break through, and he was once again frozen by the biting cold.
Xue Chenyan must have been angry at the time, but later he silently bought even finer porcelain. Amber once asked him why, saying it was a pity to smash such expensive things.
He let her go and let those words slip from his lips, his eyes染 with a hint of a smile, though it still carried a trace of helplessness.
Zhao Qingshan had followed Zhao Heng here once or twice before, so she was not unfamiliar with the place. Seeing Ji Weiyan bring her here, she could not help but feel a bit suspicious.
"Comrade Han Zhi, just lie down, I'll wash your hair for you." Song Lanyue placed the basin on a stool; it was the perfect height for her to wash his hair while he lay there.
However, Ryan had never held high expectations for them from the start, and seeing them like this only confirmed his judgment.

She complained about her mother’s heartlessness on one hand, and on the other, blamed Su Xiaoling’s previous instigation for creating such deep conflict between her and her mother.
In an instant, the Pet Special Ops team and Lin Miaomiao became viral sensations. Lin Miaomiao’s image exploded in popularity, turning her into a global superstar.
As soon as Ming Quan entered the venue, he collided head-on with a man in a suit and leather shoes.
The purpose of Xia Wu's visit to the Fire, Earth, and Lightning kingdoms, aside from the matters concerning the Land of Whirlpools, was to leave Flying Thunder God marks in every major nation of the ninja world.
"President Xu, our county's agricultural experts have evaluated this land and concluded that it is perfectly suited for growing strawberries!" Li Taicheng said, pointing to the area ahead.
"Yes, such a top-tier luxury collectible should be marketed globally, and the United States remains the center of the world," Li replied.
Joining the East Court was not necessarily a good thing, but with the support of the Censorate officials like Wen Heli and others, the young woman Hanchan became the talk of the West Court, and her life was quite comfortable.
Shen Qing walked over, clutching an LV bag, arms crossed over her chest, her face full of disdain.
Caught up in the cheers, Liu Mang envisioned a scene and couldn't help but leap onto the technical table, punching the air wildly to whip the home crowd into a frenzy.
But the blue planet was not alone. With the power of energy manipulation, Shuer and Lisa could clearly perceive the life force emanating from the planet. Based on the intensity of the fluctuations, there was no doubt that it was a place where intelligent life thrived in great numbers.
"Huh?" His teammates looked at Shuer with strange expressions. They highly suspected that this guy was either misinterpreting the divine will again or simply making things up. But looking at his earnest expression, perhaps it wasn't just a misinterpretation.
I gave a dry laugh and asked, "Do you really have to set me up like this?" Liu Ziling wiped away her sweat, stretched her legs forward, and leaned back, accentuating her chest.

Holland used a metaphor to describe the current situation facing the Brown Bears.
"Boss, we aren't really going to spend the night here, are we?" Liu Pan looked at the pitch-black surroundings, saying with a hint of fear.
Liu Hao remained silent, reaching back to take his Flowing Light Battle Axe. He held the weapon in one hand, facing the two men.
A fire-red lion-like magical beast was startled; it opened its massive, razor-toothed jaws and lunged at the two of them.
Not long ago, the teams lurking around the Three Spirit Trials had also sensed its conspicuous changes.
The imperial court placed great importance on military pensions and benefits. An ordinary soldier received ten copper coins in monthly pay; if they attained a rank, they were not only entitled to officer-level treatment but also received increased pay and subsidies.
"Then what else can I do?" In truth, it was unlikely Chen Bingwen would actually bite her tongue to commit suicide. She had just been provoked by Tang Jin, and now it was better to talk to him and look for an opportunity to escape.
At this time, Jamie's original Plan A—a Ponzi scheme—came in handy. Henry stated that the purpose of "borrowing money" was to raise capital for the scheme and presented that detailed plan.
Ye Qingwei felt an attack on his waist and his face stiffened. Remembering Helen’s dreamlike beauty and her resentful gaze, he couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart.
"Just give me a bench. Damn it, people are really base. When they have a bed to lie on, they don't even want it," Brother Qiang grumbled, following Tong Fei into the temple.
