Chapter Thirty-Six: Are You Out of Your Mind?

In the evening, returning home felt different in their new rented apartment. After class, they could cook for themselves, and each day watching the person they cherished eat the meals they prepared felt like a beautiful aspect of life. Strolling after dinner was a delight; when they got thirsty, they ordered a cup of milk tea, sitting at a table together, quietly enjoying their little world while observing the bustling crowd.

After returning and finishing their showers, they indulged in rare moments of passion. Yufang nestled against He Zhixing's chest, savoring the softness and tranquility that followed their intimacy. Her small hand drew circles, lost in thought.

Worried that she might struggle with this later, He Zhixing whispered in her ear, "Darling, let me teach you some martial arts breathing techniques. I've noticed a faint energy within you, likely from when you ate the spirit fruit as a child." He continued, "So, I want to guide you in cultivating your energy. Pay attention..." As he spoke, he gently pointed out the acupoints on her body, teaching her how to breathe and circulate her energy.

Yufang was quite clever, and with the faint energy she possessed, He Zhixing introduced her to the flow of energy within her body. Soon, she felt a warm, gentle sensation coursing through her meridians. While Yufang focused on her breathing exercises, He Zhixing tenderly helped her into her pajamas, and she sat comfortably on the bed to meditate. He had already completed his own exercises, moving at a pace several times faster than hers.

Watching her concentrate, He Zhixing smiled with satisfaction. During his most boring moments, his girlfriend was diligently practicing, and reflecting on their recent studies, he thought, "Why not create a sketching plan to enhance my skills?"

The next day, after class and finishing dinner, He Zhixing grabbed his sketchbook and headed out with Yufang to shop. They aimed to fulfill their plan. First, they arrived at the fashion street and quickly took out their sketchbooks to capture local scenes.

He Zhixing soon found an excellent spot outside a clothing store with beautiful decorations, positioning himself in a corner where he could observe stylishly dressed individuals. From there, he could also see a small door where a woman was changing clothes—more like an open glass space surrounded by fabric.

He Zhixing had a particular fondness for unique perspectives, and Yufang noticed his gaze directed at a woman changing clothes behind the glass. The fabric covering her wasn't properly drawn, giving him quite a view.

Even more amusingly, he was so engrossed in sketching the moment that Yufang tapped him with her pen, mildly irritated, "Seriously?" She then walked away to another spot.

As he continued sketching, biting the pen and laughing, the girl changing clothes noticed him watching and screamed, "Ah... a pervert!" She hurriedly pulled the curtain to hide herself.

Realizing it was time to leave, He Zhixing waved to Yufang and departed from the street. The girl quickly dressed and emerged, only catching a glimpse of his retreating figure.

She angrily exclaimed, "Damn, you creep! Get lost!"

Nearby, Yufang walked at a distance, feeling a mixture of sympathy and excitement for the girl, her heart racing as she thought, "Wow, that woman is fierce."
