What’s going on? She was actually staring at a man lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had met this man once before, at Old Chief Fang’s birthday banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, she accidentally bumped into him, and she immediately thought this man was very handsome, the only one she’d ever met who could rival Lu Hualiang in looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His demeanor was also exceptional, as gentle and luminous as a gentle breeze and a bright moon, much like a Banished Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing next to him gave a sense of comfort and peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Xia, this way please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xuanye stepped aside slightly and then nodded politely at Xiong Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their retreating figures, Xiong Gang’s alarm bells went off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn you, Pei Hong, really devious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a handsome man as a ploy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too much, this is too much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, so what if he’s a handsome guy? In the Ancient Martial Arts Department, everything else may lack, but men are in abundance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just can’t believe it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Gang huffed angrily, glancing at his team members; nearly everyone was present today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, although there were many men, handsome ones… well…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao was a bit puzzled. Didn’t this man say he had something to discuss with her? Why wasn’t he saying anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just silently walking ahead, this feeling, why does it seem like they’re just taking a stroll?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the environment at the National Studies Association Headquarters was excellent, with small bridges and flowing water, lush bamboo forests, and a quaint garden feel,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she preferred sparring in martial arts over admiring the scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Long.” Fang Lilin had mentioned before that everyone called him that, she didn’t misremember, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.” Long Xuanye replied indifferently, his gaze fixed intently on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Xia Weibao a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than Lu Hualiang, she’s not used to other men looking at her so intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Call me senior brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Xia Weibao looked bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master said you just joined the National Studies Association. I joined earlier, so naturally, I’m your senior brother, don’t you agree, junior sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao blinked. The title “senior brother” shouldn’t that be from ancient times? Does it exist in modern times too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting for a bit, it actually seemed to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the university campus, there were seniors, juniors, same with senior brothers and sisters. As the National Studies Association promotes traditional culture, calling someone senior brother is appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why does it feel so odd?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, when Xiong Gang introduced her to people from the Ancient Martial Arts Department, he only mentioned names and didn’t say anything about senior brothers and sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her frown, Long Xuanye asked considerately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing.” Xia Weibao thought, it’s just a title, no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising her head, she met Long Xuanye’s deep eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils were very dark, with only her reflection in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her reflection, however, was a bottomless abyss of black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a gaze was too intriguing, and without realizing it, she was spellbound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xuanye’s lips curved into a slow smile, his gaze lingering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows how much time passed, until someone called out to her from a distance, pulling her back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly averted her eyes, her heart thumping wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face felt hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on? She was once again entranced by a man other than Lu Hualiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this man is attractive and charming, she shouldn’t be staring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s so impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xuanye merely smiled, not minding at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, just now you said you had something to discuss, what is it?” Xia Weibao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xuanye’s gaze grew softer, “Long time no see.”\u003C\u002Fp>",654,"2026-06-06T16:22:22.333Z",1,"novelbin.me","4be144c1431296b1785a5cf67134da96c2c7c01c244f51ee87b1e8a6d09b108f","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1372","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1370",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
