Chapter 169: Chapter 160: UnconventionalEncountering a devilishly handsome man like Lin Mu was truly a tragedy for Qi Manlin. Just a few words were enough to drive her crazy. "Practice the steps as I told you, follow the rhythm and practice a few more times. I’m going out for a walk," Qi Manlin said as she turned and headed out. "Hey, where are you going?" Lin Mu quickly asked. "To brush my teeth!" Qi Manlin replied irritably, without turning back, and left the lounge. "Damn!" Lin Mu waved dismissively, "My mouth smells so nice, yet this girl doesn’t appreciate it in the slightest..." After Qi Manlin left, Lin Mu practiced the steps she described all by himself. When he got bored, he’d light a cigarette to pass the time, and after smoking, he’d continue practicing! When it came to dancing, Lin Mu really lacked any foundation. It was much harder than practicing martial arts. But he had no choice; he just had to grit his teeth and persist so he wouldn’t embarrass himself at the dance tomorrow. Two hours later, Qi Manlin returned, walking in with a square gait from outside. "Geez, it took you two hours to brush your teeth. Is your breath that bad?" "You animal, how can you talk like that!" Qi Manlin shot a disdainful glance at Lin Mu, "Does how long I brush my teeth have anything to do with you? Are you in a position to control me? I can brush as long as I want, even a lifetime, but I still won’t be able to brush away the filth from your mouth just now..." "Damn, is it really that exaggerated? Well, great then. Use this chance to remember me forever—your first kiss was with me, you know!" Lin Mu chuckled. "Enough nonsense, how’s the practice going?" Qi Manlin asked irritably. "Hmm, making good progress. Pretty much got the basic steps down," Lin Mu gestured as he spoke. "Alright then, let’s go through it from start to finish once more." "Sure, no problem." Lin Mu nodded, stepping up to Qi Manlin. "I’m warning you, if you take advantage of me again, I’ll castrate you!" Qi Manlin pointed her finger at Lin Mu, making him instinctively protect himself as he replied, "Okay, okay, got it!" "Reach out your hand!" Qi Manlin called out loudly, simultaneously extending her delicate hand. Lin Mu smiled gentlemanly and grasped Qi Manlin’s soft, boneless hand, dancing to the rhythm of the music. This time, Lin Mu was much more skilled than the last time. At least he wasn’t stepping on Qi Manlin’s feet anymore. The two performed a beautiful spin as their finale. Though not perfect, it was quite stylish! "Not bad this time, much better than last," Qi Manlin nodded in satisfaction. "Of course, I’m naturally talented and learn everything fast. To me, this is just a walk in the park, child’s play!" Lin Mu said without any humility. Qi Manlin furrowed her brows, staring at Lin Mu, "Lin Mu, I’ve discovered a serious problem with you!" "Hmm? What’s the serious problem?" Lin Mu asked, curious.

People like you are really rare!" Qi Manlin said helplessly. "Haha, really? There’s a saying, ’rarity increases value,’ so a guy like me is destined to win many women’s hearts, haha..." Qi Manlin was speechless, "Hmph, I’ve seen vain people, but none as vain as you!" Lin Mu suddenly stared at Qi Manlin, looking at her with fake mystery, "I’ve discovered a secret about you, too!" "What?" Qi Manlin asked, surprised, "First, there’s a vibrant peach blossom, then further down, two towering peaks, and further down, the undulating hills and valleys. And then, if you look even further down, haha, guess what I saw?" "What is it?" Qi Manlin found Lin Mu’s words completely baffling and impatiently urged him to reveal the secret. "Haha, it’s a big hole, a really, really big hole!" Lin Mu glanced roguishly at the sensitive spot of the little police flower! Qi Manlin suddenly realized this jerk Lin Mu was teasing her with a crude joke and was instantly furious, shouting loudly, "You bastard, you’re getting more outrageous with your words! This time I’ve got to castrate you!" Lin Mu’s senses tightened, and before Qi Manlin could act, he hurriedly fled, with Qi Manlin chasing him relentlessly while cursing. This guy was truly maddening; in all her life, Lin Mu was the most bizarre man she had ever met, bar none! It’s not that Lin Mu was a bad person; sometimes he could be quite nice. However, living humans could be infuriated to death by him. Regarding Lin Mu, Qi Manlin was both angry and hateful, yet it felt unfounded. In the end, she felt like she was the one being absurd. Fortunately, after a day’s guidance and practice with Qi Manlin, Lin Mu’s practice had reached a decent level. Though not perfect, at least he grasped the essentials, and his dancing wasn’t awkward or lacking grace. This was already quite satisfying for Lin Mu, given it was just one day! "Hehe, so, tell me, how do you want me to thank you?" Lin Mu took a sip of water and asked Qi Manlin. "Hmm...?" Qi Manlin blinked, tapping her chin with her finger, then said, "Let’s be practical. Treat me to dinner tonight. You have to treat me, or it’d be a disservice to my hard coaching all day!" "Hehe, sure thing, pick anywhere you like. It’s just a meal, I can afford it!" Lin Mu replied. "Alright, then take me to Pizza Hut. Their steak is pretty good, and it’s close by. I haven’t been there for a while and kind of miss the taste!" Qi Manlin suggested. "No problem! Ladies first, please!" Lin Mu said politely, his demeanor like a Western gentleman. Indeed, having Western food even influences one’s mood! "I hope one day you’ll miss my taste like Pizza Hut!" "Don’t you dare..." Qi Manlin retorted angrily, getting into the car with indignation. As soon as she sat down, Lin Mu hit the gas, causing a strong pushback that made Qi Manlin dizzy, "Bastard... Would it kill you to drive slower...?" Of course, Lin Mu did it on purpose. This feisty police flower had repeatedly spoken rudely to him, so he seized any opportunity to mess with her. Every time he annoyed her, Lin Mu found it particularly satisfying! However, Lin Mu still kept his promise and drove Qi Manlin toward Pizza Hut. Once they reached Pizza Hut, Lin Mu and Qi Manlin chatted and walked inside, choosing a window seat to sit down. Lin Mu gazed at the comfortable surroundings and the elegant music, feeling a sense of ease that washed away the day’s fatigue completely.
