Chapter 284 - 243: The Shaking Crystal Palace_1
Quite unlike the Yuhuatai of the modern world, now a Martyrs’ Memorial Park and a four-star scenic area, the Yuhuatai that Li Xuan currently found himself in was, aside from the Guozi Bureau building and some surrounding houses, largely an open landscape with few scenic spots.
But Li Xuan knew that the emphasis on accompanying a girlfriend on an outing wasn’t on the scenery itself, nor the experience, but the conversation and the flattery.
He and Xue Yunrou chatted intimately along the way, he sweet-talked her with some cheesy lines, and his repertoire of modern jokes was endless. Before long, Xue Yunrou was blushing, suppressing giggles at his jokes.
Li Xuan couldn’t take his eyes off the beautiful, blooming face of Xue Yunrou. How could he concentrate on anything else?
But just when the atmosphere between them was growing more and more romantic and heated, Li Xuan heard a voice mixed with surprise, "Colonel, I’ve finally found you."
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and turned around. He saw a young man in white striding towards them. The man turned out to be Zhen Huandou, the ’leader of Jiangzuo’ whom he had met before in the exam hall.
This young man came up excitedly and said, "I’ve reviewed your exam answer, Colonel. You got the first eleven digits of the seventeen-digit decimal right. I wonder how you calculated the last six digits. Please enlighten me!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Xuan, nearly touching the ground with his hands.
Li Xuan noticed that Xue Yunrou subtly moved away a little, creating a slight distance between them. He cursed in his heart. Didn’t this ’leader of Jiangzuo’ have any sense? Couldn’t he see that Li was in the middle of something important?
