As Yang Xin played, Li Chen listened beside her, correcting any mistakes and asking her to play again. Of course, given Li Chen’s character, he inevitably took the opportunity to flirt, occasionally touching her hand to feel its softness. Li Chen’s principle was to take advantage whenever possible and to act rather than speak. However, good times are always brief, and after about half an hour under Li Chen’s guidance, Yang Xin had also learned these pieces. Afterward, the two of them walked out together. “Did you really practice?” Yang Xin pondered over Li Chen’s piano playing, seemingly still in disbelief. Li Chen played exceedingly well, comparable to a professional pianist, which gave her an illusion. “Brother never speaks empty words,” Li Chen chuckled, “It’s just the piano. Brother can also play the violin, cello, guitar, and other instruments. How about I play them for you another day?” Boasting again. Yang Xin didn’t believe him. It seemed he couldn’t help but exaggerate. While she acknowledged his piano skills, different instruments were not the same. Just then, Yang Xin saw a baby approaching, giggling as it walked. Since when could babies walk? But the next second, Yang Xin recognized the Ginseng Doll—it was the doll that tried to pull at her clothes that night! Remembering that night, how she was almost stripped by a doll, Yang Xin’s face turned red with embarrassment. It was indeed a humiliating experience. However, upon closer inspection, the Ginseng Doll looked adorable with its plump appearance, invoking pity! Especially with the Ginseng Doll’s slightly pouted lips, it was enough to melt any girl’s heart! Li Chen also looked ahead and was astonished to find it was the Ginseng Doll! Ginseng Doll? Li Chen was immediately pleased, surprised to encounter the Ginseng Doll here again. However, Li Chen’s joyful mood quickly turned into a wry smile, acknowledging how elusive the Ginseng Doll was. Unless it came to him willingly, he simply couldn’t catch it. This had been confirmed by Li Chen’s numerous failures before. At first, he didn’t believe it, but the Ginseng Doll was indeed too agile and could escape using Earth Escape the moment it touched the ground, evading capture every time. However, as an old saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.” Yes indeed, this saying kept Li Chen from giving up. The Ginseng Doll also noticed Li Chen, and their eyes locked, like a standoff, with what seemed to be sparks flying through the air between them. Yang Xin was puzzled, wondering why Li Chen seemed to transform upon seeing the Ginseng Doll. She glanced at Li Chen, then at the Ginseng Doll, and the Ginseng Doll’s next move made Yang Xin burst out laughing. Seeing Li Chen, the Ginseng Doll turned around, its little butt swaying provocatively left and right, and it kept making “ya ya ya” sounds, which Li Chen found unbearable. Mocked by a Ginseng Doll, damn! Immediately, Li Chen charged at the Ginseng Doll, reaching for it with his right hand, but the Ginseng Doll was quick to react. Almost the instant Li Chen closed in, it used Earth Escape and disappeared from sight. Li Chen looked around, but the Ginseng Doll suddenly appeared behind him, still making “ya ya ya” noises. Turning around, Li Chen tried to grab the Ginseng Doll again, but it swiftly darted under his feet, its chubby hands even managing to tug at Li Chen’s shoelaces. Li Chen didn’t notice that his shoelaces had been undone; he was intent on catching the mischievous Ginseng Doll. The Ginseng Doll kept running while looking back and realized that Li Chen was closely following without panicking, but instead was laughing, which only increased Li Chen’s frustration. “When I catch you, I will first pan-fry you, then deep-fry you, then fry you again before stir-frying.” Just at that moment, Li Chen stepped on his own shoelace, and in an instant, he was falling toward the ground. Yang Xin’s mouth dropped open, her heart racing with anxiety. This Ginseng Doll actually untied my shoelaces. Li Chen was so frustrated that his teeth itched. “Isn’t that just too clever?” As he fell forward, Li Chen managed to brace himself with one hand on the ground, effortlessly flipping back onto his feet. Then, first things first, he tied his shoelaces. A gentleman seeks revenge after tying his shoelaces. Yang Xin felt a weight lift from her heart, but when she looked for the Ginseng Doll again, it had disappeared. “Where did it go?” Yang Xin was perplexed when suddenly she felt someone pulling at her pant leg. Looking down, she saw it was that adorable Ginseng Doll from before, now tugging at her pants. Confused, Yang Xin watched as the Ginseng Doll climbed up her pants at lightning speed and in the blink of an eye, it perched on her shoulder. Yang Xin jumped, but the Ginseng Doll began making “wah-woo-wah-woo” noises and sat swinging its tiny legs on her fragrant shoulder, looking utterly charming. This little fellow is quite cute, Yang Xin thought with a slight smile, reaching out to touch the Ginseng Doll’s cheek, which seemed to blush, giving off giggles of “giggity-giggity.” Watching the Ginseng Doll laugh made Yang Xin smile as well. “Turns out this little thing is so entertaining.” From a distance, Li Chen looked on with extreme frustration as if he just couldn’t get along with this Ginseng Doll. Sitting on Yang Xin’s shoulder, the Ginseng Doll even glanced at Li Chen in the distance, cried out “yah-yah-yah,” then jumped off her shoulder and disappeared into the earth. Gone again. This Ginseng Doll really is hard to catch. He was starting to feel hopeless, as if it wasn’t him chasing it but it playing tricks on him the whole time. Li Chen sighed to the sky, lamenting his own skills that let him wander the Middle East, outmaneuver America, and survive extreme climates with ease, yet he couldn’t manage a single Ginseng Doll. Just thinking about it was disheartening. “What was that?” Yang Xin came over. “A sprite that popped out from deep within the mountains,” Li Chen said solemnly. “Don’t be fooled by its appearance; it’s a sprite.” “Pfft.” Seeing Li Chen’s expression, Yang Xin laughed again, probably more today than she had all of last week combined. “I still have one more class, so I’ll head off first,” Yang Xin said with a slight smile. Great, she doesn’t believe me, Li Chen thought gloomily. When Yang Xin left, Li Chen, having nothing else to do, decided to check out Lin Xiaoxiao’s clothing store to see how things were going. It wasn’t long before Li Chen arrived at Lin Xiaoxiao’s shop from before. “Brother-in-law, come quick and help!” Lin Xiaoxiao immediately brightened upon seeing Li Chen. Labor, ah, no, brother-in-law has finally arrived!
