"Mom, what are you doing?" Suddenly, a young girl's voice rang out, snapping the confused pair to alertness.

Both recognized the voice as Little Sakura's.

Li Xiang Hong quickly released her grip and stepped back, parting from the man with a sense of panic as she smoothed down her hair. Not daring to look back at her daughter, she replied feebly, "M-mom is just whispering with your brother."

"What whispers?" Children are naturally curious. Just now, under the moonlight, Little Sakura had seen her mother pushing the "big brother"" against the wall and felt very distressed. She had never witnessed such a scene as long as she could remember. Although Little Sakura was already five years old and still childish, she needed to snuggle in her mother's arms after school.

At that moment, with her protective instincts triggered, seeing her mother holding the "big brother" in her arms, she felt compelled to ask what they were doing.

Li Xiang Hong fumbled like a child caught in wrongdoing, unable to find the right words for a moment, she stuttered, "M-mom is borrowing money from your big brother, okay?"

"Hmm..." Little Sakura hummed and then turned back into the house.

Wang Xiaoqiang vanished, the Five Elements Spirit Spring settled back into place, and he breathed a long sigh of relief before turning and heading outside.

"Little Qiang..." Li Xiang Hong called out to him in a low voice.

"Hmm…" Wang Xiaoqiang didn't look back, pausing just a moment in his steps.

"If you feel like it, come back sometime..."

At the first word, Wang Xiaoqiang had already run out the door without waiting for Li Xiang Hong to finish.

Wang Xiaoqiang was still a novice when it came to matters of men and women, filled with curiosity, longing, and a slight tinge of fear.

He sprinted under the night sky towards Mantou Mountain. At that moment, the two elements of the Five Elements Spirit Spring within him moved to his legs, emitting bursts of energy. It was as if he was charged with an energy fluid that kept replenishing the fatigue his body consumed.

Under the cover of night, Wang Xiaoqiang's steps were incredibly swift, managing to run from the village to Mantou Mountain in about twenty minutes—a journey that usually took a full class period even if one was running to the mountain.

Not only had he halved the usual time, but when he arrived at the top of Mantou Mountain, his legs were neither sore nor swollen, nor did he feel tired.

The lights in the chicken coop were bright. Zhao Dabao and his wife were still busy in the Chicken Farm, and the lights were also on in the cold room where Xia Guifang was working. Although Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't given them a specific time to work, these three were diligent people, and Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't made a mistake hiring them.

Big Black and Little Hei patrolled the perimeter of the chicken coop like two loyal guards. Although a metal fence over two meters tall surrounded it, it still couldn't prevent weasels, mountain cats, and eagles from invading and preying on the pheasants. Big Black and Little Hei always maintained high vigilance.

Wang Xiaoqiang returned to his office, turned on the light, sat at his desk, and pulled out the driving textbook from a drawer to start studying by lamplight.

In half a month, it was time for the driver's license test, and he had to memorize the theoretical knowledge.

At that moment, each element of the Five Elements Spirit Spring returned to its place, one still dormant at his heart, the other back to the forehead. As Wang Xiaoqiang leafed through the textbook to memorize its contents, the Spiritual Spring at his forehead released streams of a cool qi that clarified his mind, greatly enhancing his memory, almost to the point of photographical recollection.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't lie down to sleep until late at night. The mountain was quiet at night, with only the distant barking of dogs, a kind of night where one would sleep peaceably.

The next day, Zhao Dabao and his wife got up early, had breakfast, and released all the wild pheasants from their coop. Freed from their cages, the pheasants cheerfully called out, seeking food everywhere.

With the chicks growing continuously, the number of wild pheasants had already reached over two hundred, but this was far from Wang Xiaoqiang's standard.

For the following half month, Wang Xiaoqiang locked himself in the incubation room during the day and used Fire Element Spiritual Energy to hatch chicks, and at night, he memorized the driving textbook.

On the day of the theoretical knowledge test, Zheng Shuang came to pick Wang Xiaoqiang up in her car. The season had moved into early winter, and Zheng Shuang was no longer dressed as lightly as when Wang Xiaoqiang first saw her. She had put on a sweater, but underneath that sweater was a deep V-neck, and she wore tight jeans that, despite being thick, did not affect the beauty of her body's curves.

Still with a short, eyebrow-length hair, no make-up, a neutral style she looked quite handsome.

"How's the theoretical knowledge preparation going?"

Zheng Shuang today drove the driving school's car, with Wang Xiaoqiang sitting in the passenger seat. Zheng Shuang didn't start the car right away but instead crossed her arms, looking like she wanted to chat, and turned to ask, "If you're not confident, I can find someone to help you pass..."

Since Zheng Dana had invested in opening a driving school, naturally, he had some connections at the vehicle management office. Zheng Shuang, having promised Wang Xiaoqiang he would get his license within six months, couldn't go back on her word. If Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't well-prepared, she would need to pull some strings to help him pass.

"No problem, I can pass," Wang Xiaoqiang confidently said. By now, he could recite everything from the textbook.

"Amazing!" Zheng Shuang exclaimed in admiration, "Managing such a big farm and still doing so well in your studies!"

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled nonchalantly, "There are workers at the Chicken Farm now, I don't do the work myself, so I have plenty of time every day."

"By the way, has Feng Xiaoyu asked you out?" Zheng Shuang suddenly asked.

Wang Xiaoqiang remembered Feng Xiaoyu; indeed, she had contacted him. Moreover, she often called him, subtly expressing her wish to date him every time and even said she wanted to quit her job at Shunfeng Driving School to help out at his Chicken Farm. However, she was rejected by Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang naturally wouldn't tell Zheng Shuang, the owner of Shunfeng Driving School, about Feng Xiaoyu's desire to quit her job, simply responding evasively, "Uh, we've been in contact."

"Ah, she's head over heels for you!" Zheng Shuang teased.

"But I don't believe in love at first sight. If I were a penniless guy, would Feng Xiaoyu have fallen for me at first sight?"

"You have a point," Zheng Shuang said, "But Xiaoqiang, there is no such thing as pure love in this world. No girl would fancy a beggar on the street. Xiaoyu is a very nice girl. I advise you to consider her."

Wang Xiaoqiang felt that Zheng Shuang was not entirely right and sensed a probing tone in her last statement. He shook his head and said, "I don't have time to consider this. I'm not planning to get married before I turn twenty-seven."

"Your thoughts actually coincide with mine!" Zheng Shuang replied excitedly, turning back with a smile, "I also don't plan to marry before twenty-seven..."

"Women and men are different," Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "Once a woman is over twenty-seven, she becomes a 'leftover woman'!"

"Get out! That's nonsense!" Zheng Shuang shot Wang Xiaoqiang an annoyed glance.

"What I'm saying is the truth; that's what they say on the internet. Once a woman passes twenty-seven, she becomes a 'leftover woman,' her value drops, and then she can't get married! Haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang made up stories to tease Zheng Shuang.

"Pfft, pure fiction," Zheng Shuang turned around, her body thrusting forward in a show of defiance as if to grab Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart..."

"Tch, kind intentions taken as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Although Wang Xiaoqiang was teasing Zheng Shuang, what he said was indeed a harsh reality; once women reach twenty-seven, they indeed become 'leftover women'.

"You're still saying it!" Zheng Shuang lunged at him, both embarrassed and angry, reaching for Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth,

Her slender, white, fragrant fingers pressed against Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth, but just then, fearing that she really would tear his mouth, he tensed his lips, which ended up looking like he was kissing her fingers...
