Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 5 Have you ever eaten pickled mustard greens?

Male seals are recognized globally as one of the most prolific reproductive animals.

Starting at 30 meters, they can go for months without food or water during their breeding season, solely for the purpose of procreation.

Furthermore, male seals are polygamous, with a single male seal potentially having hundreds of females in order to reproduce.

After reviewing this information in his mind, Shen Gongbao was determined to acquire the "Leopard Spirit" talent.

Seals are also leopards, how wonderful!

With this talent, he can easily make his way through the entertainment industry, which is great news for female celebrities.

It has to be said that the Taoist Book is truly adaptable to the times. After being adjusted to a game mode, it even knows how to display various rewards in advance to encourage players to grind the "game".

At this moment, Shen Gongbao was full of energy and was already thinking about how to cause trouble when he heard Li Xue say something in confusion.

"Wow! You look even better!"

"Really?" Shen Gongbao teased. "Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

A person's appearance also depends on their physical condition.

Not only being overweight or underweight can make you look less attractive, but even your sleep patterns can affect your appearance.

After Shen Gongbao acquired the "Leopard Strength" talent, his body became healthier and stronger, and his overall energy and physical condition naturally improved.

Li Xue thought he had become more handsome, which was actually just a matter of careful observation with the naked eye.

But after Shen Gongbao said that, she also felt that it was a psychological problem of her own—the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she liked it, the more she looked at it.

Looking at Shen Gongbao's handsome appearance, Li Xue's eyes welled up with tears.

Upon seeing this, Shen Gongbao immediately stepped forward and took Li Xue's small hand.

As expected, Li Xue did not struggle and acquiesced to Shen Gongbao's actions, and their relationship naturally progressed to the stage of a young couple.

The two held hands and strolled along the food street, chatting about their respective situations.

Li Xue started chattering away, sharing her past life and her plans to study at Yenching University.

It wasn't until night had completely fallen that Shen Gongbao brought Li Xue to Dream Valley to queue up for the Ferris wheel.

As the Ferris wheel slowly rises, the night view of Hengdian World Studios comes into full view, with lights twinkling and neon decorations adorning the antique-style buildings.

The ancient and the modern intertwine, creating a sense of temporal and spatial dislocation, like a collision between drama and reality, making this moment even more dreamlike and beautiful.

Bang!

Bang bang!

Fireworks bloomed in the sky, illuminating Li Xue's pure face. Her smiling eyes reflected the fireworks, as if wildfire were burning within them.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Shen Gongbao felt the time was right, so he grabbed her arm and kissed her.

Their lips touched, the mouth felt soft, and the tip of their noses heard the girl's gentle breath.

Shen Gongbao had already figured out that Li Xue was a novice, so he wasn't in a hurry to attack. He planned to first gently caress and stroke her to slowly stimulate and heat her up, and then proceed with the next step once she felt it.

Unexpectedly, Li Xue did not play by the rules at all.

Once the kiss began, she was like a powder keg that had been lit. She not only sat directly on Shen Gongbao's lap, but also clumsily stuck out her tongue to try it out, like a child who had endured for many years finally stealing the forbidden fruit.

This behavior contrasts sharply with her sweet appearance.

Shen Gongbao, however, liked it very much.

While he indulged in food, he also began to survey the contours of mountains and rivers.

A mountain is not valued for its height, but for the snow that imbues it with its sacredness.

Water doesn't need to be deep; you can cross it with your hands.

The riverbed was indeed bare, like a peeled egg. Although you couldn't see it, the texture was quite amazing.

……

To attract tourists, Dream Valley put on a spectacular fireworks display for the first day of May Day, which lasted for a full fifteen minutes.

But Shen Gongbao and Li Xue had no interest in appreciating it; they only had eyes for each other.

Unfortunately, the timing and place were wrong, and there wasn't enough time. This intimate moment was just a preliminary understanding of each other, and it ended there.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Shen Gongbao was adjusting himself, and Li Xue was also tidying her clothes.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Li Xue suddenly said, "Am I...am I too young?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao burst into laughter, finding the girl even more amusing.

He nodded and said, "A little!"

"Fine! You really look down on me! Take this!"

Li Xue laughed and kicked Shen Gongbao, saying indignantly, "Starting tomorrow, I'm going to drink papaya milk every day!"

In 2007, the idea that papaya milk could help bears thrive was very popular.

Shen Gongbao didn't dwell on this, but instead praised, "You truly deserve to be called a dancer; your flexibility is amazing."

"Of course! I was just showing off my skills; I still have some special tricks up my sleeve!"

You're amazing too, you're so strong, you could easily pick me up.

"I'm just a reckless person. Let's go find our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

Shen Gongbao led Li Xue forward by the hand, and Li Xue asked, "What are the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Are they Cao Cao's cavalry?"

Shen Gongbao explained, "I am the leopard, and you are the tiger. When we ride electric scooters, we become the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

Li Xue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.

Women mature earlier than men.

Li Xue may lack practical experience, but that doesn't mean she lacks theoretical knowledge. In fact, she really enjoys reading certain types of books and is definitely a bit of a fujoshi (a female fan of male-male romance).

I used to have to pretend to be a good girl in front of my family and friends, and I was always pretending.

Today I came to Hengdian for tourism, a completely unfamiliar place.

Once she was away from familiar surroundings and encountered Shen Gongbao, the little devil inside her gradually came out.

The two played a few more rides in Dream Valley before leaving after the park closed at 10 p.m.

Shen Gongbao tried to invite Li Xue to his hotel, but was refused. She still retained some of her reserve, after all, it was her precious first time.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Shen Gongbao tried to "capture" Li Xue again, but the Taoist book still indicated that the intimacy level was not high enough, and it seemed that a deep connection was needed.

Shen Gongbao was not in a hurry about this situation.

He had already found out Li Xue's holiday schedule and had a complete plan to win her over.

Today's progress has far exceeded expectations, and Shen Gongbao is very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to the hotel, he was teased by Xiao Bin: "I thought you were so great, but you ended up staying with me anyway. You're nothing special!"

Shen Gongbao didn't care at all about his good friend's teasing.

After all, Xiao Bin was truly remarkable today. He put in the effort to get her into the film crew, proactively created a romantic getaway for Shen Gongbao and Li Xue, and even helped buy the tickets for the Ferris wheel at Dream Valley.

Otherwise, Shen Gongbao would have been too busy to make such a perfect arrangement.

However, they still couldn't admit defeat verbally.

Shen Gongbao shook his head and asked, "Have you ever eaten pickled mustard greens?"

"Snowflakes, what's that?"

"It's a vegetable, a variant of mustard greens. This vegetable is cold-resistant and likes sunlight. When it snows in winter, its leaves turn purplish-red, hence the name 'Snow Red'."

Shen Gongbao patted Xiao Bin on the shoulder and said with a hint of smugness, "The best time to eat pickled mustard greens is after the first heavy snowfall."

To enjoy this dish, you must be patient and wait for the first snowfall.

Because you can only see blood after the first snowfall, understand?

Xiao Bin: "..."

Xiao Bin understood, and he was extremely envious.

Such a beautiful girl, and it's the first snow yet! Shen Gongbao is incredibly lucky!

Heaven has no eyes!

Thinking of this, Xiao Bin punched Shen Gongbao hard.

Seeing Shen Gongbao's grimacing expression, he felt a little better and casually reminded him, "Don't forget to assemble at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Xiao Bin was very excited about going to the set of The Forbidden Kingdom tomorrow.

Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Liu Yifei, and Li Bingbing are all big stars in the entertainment industry.

Although Xiao Bin doesn't follow celebrities, meeting these people and seeing them film in person was still an unforgettable experience.

The same applies to Shen Gongbao.

He is also looking forward to tomorrow.

People say the entertainment industry is glamorous and decadent; in this life, he's going to experience it for himself!

It all started with the cast and crew of The Forbidden Kingdom.
