Not long after returning to the courtyard, Xu Youcai visited again, this time bringing Director Wang and many gifts, and also gave Li Haoyu more than 200 yuan.

After Li Haoyu accepted the money and property, he thought for a moment and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, I have something to ask you later. I wonder if you are willing to lend me a hand?"

"Doctor Li, please feel free to talk." Director Wang did not dare to refuse. She knew that her health could not be compromised in the slightest.

"Actually, it's nothing. My parents left me three gardens, and I want to complete all the real estate procedures. Do you think it's okay?" Li Haoyu said with a smile.

“Of course, many places have not yet issued property certificates.

As long as the formalities are complete, there will be no problem.

If you are free tomorrow, you can go directly to the street office and I will handle it for you personally." Director Wang replied eagerly.

Li Haoyu smiled lightly. He felt that this person had a strong will to survive when faced with a life-and-death situation.

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Wang.

But please keep this matter confidential.

I am not afraid of trouble, but I don't like to meddle in other people's business." Li Haoyu said with a smile.

Director Wang understands Li Haoyu’s concerns.

Living in a large compound with three courtyards like him is bound to be envied by others and cause trouble.

She was aware of the complex relationships in the courtyard.

"You don't have to worry about this." Director Wang assured.

"Okay, then I won't try to keep you." Li Haoyu ordered him to leave.

When Director Wang and his wife were walking towards the inner courtyard, Yi Zhonghai just walked out of the house. He greeted them with a smile on his face: "Director, why are you here in person? Do you have anything important to tell us?"

Seeing that the person coming was Director Wang, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately darkened: "Old Yi, the neighborhood elected you as the manager as a sign of trust.

Comrade Li Haoyu is very capable. Don't pick on him for no reason in the future, or you won't be in the position of manager anymore." Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was stunned on the spot.

What kind of magic did this guy use on Director Wang? Or did he have something on him? Yi Zhonghai was secretly angry. This guy was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

It seems that I have to go look for Wang Gouzi’s friend in Yard No. 12 Zhengyangmen—the tough guy mentioned by the deaf old lady.

In the evening, He Yushui went home after school because she didn't have to go to school tomorrow as it was the weekend.

Since Li Haoyu was away from the city these two days due to working in the countryside, He Yushui simply stayed at the school and did not go home.

As soon as she stepped into the house and put down her schoolbag, she ran eagerly to the backyard, hoping to see Li Haoyu.

Seeing that the backyard door was ajar and not locked, He Yushui couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, his heart filled with joy.

She quickly pushed the door open and found Li Haoyu concentrating on writing something, so she walked in quietly and came behind him.

Noticing Li Haoyu's gaze, the corners of his eyes slightly raised revealed his knowledge.

Just as He Yushui was about to cover Li Haoyu's eyes quietly as a prank, Li Haoyu pulled her into his arms and scared her so much that she cried out "Ouch".

Li Haoyu quickly placed her on his legs. The girl was extremely shy and her face turned red. After struggling several times, she finally stopped. She was so sensitive that she felt the touch on a certain part of her body and became more shy.

"When did you come back?" Li Haoyu asked her with a smile.

"I'll come to see you as soon as I get home, Brother Li Haoyu." He Yushui responded softly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze that touched a chord deep in Li Haoyu's heart.

Hearing that delicate voice, Li Haoyu's naughty thoughts became stronger.

There are three good things about Loli: her voice is soft and her body is delicate and attractive.

Sometimes, he almost couldn't stand her coquettishness.

He Yushui always feels troubled and somewhat expectant about this feeling.

"Oh, Brother Li Haoyu, the door is not closed yet." She reminded him quickly, her voice still soft but with a hint of blame.

Li Haoyu smiled lightly, put her down and closed the door, then cast a spell to activate the hidden token in the room.

When the formation was activated, the house was instantly isolated from the outside world. People outside could only hear the sounds from inside the house, while the room was completely silent.

Looking at He Yushui's cheeks that were as red as petals, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her, lingering for a long time.

Finally, driven by an unbearable impulse, Li Haoyu quickly walked into the room holding He Yushui.

The girl's heartbeat quickened, a mixture of panic and anticipation, and she felt confused.

"Brother Li Haoyu...you...you are...going too far." Her voice was vague, with shyness and accusation.

"So do you want to be... bullied by me?" Li Haoyu said with a wicked smile.

"I...I don't want to pay attention to you anymore." He Yushui tried hard to break free, but was held tightly in Li Haoyu's arms. She only struggled symbolically and then stopped resisting.

"Believe me, I'm just holding you and won't take any further action." Li Haoyu comforted her.

"You...didn't you just say you wanted a hug?" He Yushui asked with a blushing face.

"Well... I really can't control myself. Look, this is..." Li Haoyu tried to divert her attention.

"But, but, I...I'm not ready yet." At this time, He Yushui still looked a little flustered.

"Rainwater, do you love me?" Li Haoyu asked.

He Yushui took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Yes, Brother Li Haoyu, you are the best, of course I love you."

So, Li Haoyu asked: "Are you willing to humble yourself for love?" After getting a slight nod and a bow from He Yushui, their feelings were sublimated after half an hour.

After a moment, He Yushui looked at Li Haoyu with a hint of resentment on her face: "Brother Li Haoyu...you are so bad. Even after this, you still..." After saying that, she shyly curled up in Li Haoyu's arms for shelter.

He Yushui felt even more embarrassed when she heard Li Haoyu express his willingness to help solve her problem.

After a long time, He Yushui deeply felt the emotion from Li Haoyu and hugged him tightly. She asked doubtfully: "Brother Li Haoyu, will I become a bad person?"

"How could that be? You are a good girl." Li Haoyu responded with a smile.

Although they did not completely cross the line, He Yushui has become the woman in Li Haoyu's heart.

"Okay, I have something for you." Li Haoyu handed her a beauty pill and instructed, "Open your mouth."

He Yushui opened her mouth obediently and Li Haoyu fed the pill into her mouth. When it entered her body, it quickly turned into warmth and flowed throughout her body, driving away her fatigue.

"This, Brother Li Haoyu, what is this?" He Yushui asked out of curiosity, feeling it was extremely magical.

Li Haoyu said seriously: "This is the anti-aging pill I specially prepared. It can keep you young forever. Even after decades, you will look the same as before."

This made her eyes widen and she asked in disbelief: "Is it true that I won't get old? This..."

For women, the anti-aging pill is undoubtedly a magic weapon. Although He Yu is less than seventeen years old, she knows its precious value.

She imagined that if she was in her fifties and still looked as old as Jia Zhang, it would be too scary. How great it would be if she could stay young forever!

Seeing her panic, Li Haoyu said firmly: "This herb is rare in the world, comparable to thousand-year-old ginseng. I spent a lot of effort to make it. You must not reveal it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

He Yushui promised earnestly: "Okay, Brother Li Haoyu, I will keep it a secret. This is a secret between the two of us, but I ate it, what about you?"

"Silly girl, this is what I made myself. I have already taken it. When the effects gradually show, you will be able to enjoy unprecedented beauty." Li Haoyu explained patiently.

Hearing this, He Yushui was deeply touched, hugged Li Haoyu tightly and kissed him: "Brother Li Haoyu, you are really good to me."

Then He Yushui replied playfully: "When I turn 18 on my next birthday, we will..."

He Yushui has already made up her mind to devote herself to the cause. Her only wish in this life is to marry Brother Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu smiled at He Yushui, gently scratched her nose, and said, "It's getting late, why don't we go make dinner? Today I'll show you my cooking skills."

"Then I'll come and help too." He Yushui suggested.

"Okay." The two of them walked into the kitchen hand in hand like a newlywed couple and divided the work: one washed the ingredients and the other cooked.

Li Haoyu took out the black iron kitchen knife. The huge knife was wielded in his hand as smoothly as silk, which stunned He Yushui. It turned out that Brother Li Haoyu was so amazing. His knife skills were truly amazing.

Under his technique, the originally static ingredients seem to be reborn.

Li Haoyu prepared one dish after another, including braised pork, spicy and sour potato shreds, stewed hot chicken soup, vinegar-fried Chinese cabbage, as well as classic Kung Pao chicken and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and finally served them with a bowl of fragrant white rice.

There are five meat dishes and one vegetable dish on the table, which are as exquisite and tempting as works of art.

"Brother Li Haoyu, it turns out that your cooking skills are so great that I am a little reluctant to pick up my chopsticks. It looks so delicious, so amazing!" He Yushui said admiringly.

Because the formation had not been evacuated, the beasts outside could not smell the tempting aroma coming from the kitchen.

The two began to enjoy lunch, but not long after, the door was suddenly pushed open and Sha Zhu's voice was heard.

“Rainwater, are you there?”

As soon as he entered the room, Sha Zhu saw Li Haoyu and He Yushui sitting at the table, which was full of delicacies. Even though he saw the delicious food and smelled the rich aroma, Sha Zhu still couldn't believe it.

Those who were watching the excitement outside the door were just superficial, and the real experts only knew the tricks. When Sha Zhu smelled this scent, he immediately knew that it would be difficult for him to reach such a level with his skills.

"Silly Zhu, can't you knock on the door? Do you want to get beaten?" Li Haoyu asked sharply with an unpleasant tone.

Sha Zhu turned to Li Haoyu and asked, "Did you make these dishes?"

"If it wasn't me, who else could it be?" Li Haoyu asked back, his tone revealing confidence.

"But...how could you possibly cook dishes of this standard?" Sha Zhu has always been proud of his cooking skills. It is unbelievable that even Li Haoyu has surpassed his level.

"There are many things you may not understand. Those things you are proud of are worthless to me." Li Haoyu said lightly, which made Sha Zhu feel dissatisfied.

So, Sha Zhu said to He Yushui with resentment: "Yushui, let's go home and eat. This person stays."

However, Li Haoyu resolutely stopped him: "The rain is already here, you go."

"you……"

"Brother, you better go back. I'll stay here with Brother Li Haoyu." He Yushui's words left Sha Zhu speechless. He said in dissatisfaction, "Then don't come back in the future!" Sha Zhu turned and left with resentment.

Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu coming back angrily from the backyard, and hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Zhu Zi, what happened?"

Facing Yi Zhonghai's question, Sha Zhu simply responded, "It's okay." Then he went straight back to the house, picked up some peanuts and started crunching them. The more he chewed, the more frustrated he felt. He had practiced cooking for so long, but Li Haoyu had obviously never studied seriously, so how could he cook such excellent dishes?

Recalling what Li Haoyu once said: "Your masterpiece is worthless to me." Sha Zhu's inner imbalance became more and more serious.

Why was that young man not only good-looking, but also wealthy, good at fighting and medicine, and even better at cooking than himself? He felt unfair and could not accept the existence of all these differences.

"How could I lie to you? I just went to call Yudian for lunch and found out that she was at that young man's house. Guess what, it was a feast! Kung Pao chicken, braised pork, and stewed soup. Every dish was much better than those in restaurants outside. How do you think he could do this?" Zhuzi said with a silly smile.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, and couldn't help but wonder about Li Haoyu's extraordinary ability. This guy is indeed extraordinary, but he is more concerned about the fact that even if Li Haoyu eats so well, after all, it is a period of natural disasters, and the amount of food rationed every month is constantly decreasing.
