Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao replied with a smile, \"I'm fine. Has my face turned red?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing: \"Not really. I didn't expect you to be such a good drinker. Do you drink often?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"You're wrong there, this is the first time I'm drinking outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good. Drinking too much isn't good for your health. Are you going home or to Jiangshan Roasted Duck later?\" Xia Qing asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Qin Hao replied, \"I'll go to the roasted duck restaurant, there's still work to do in the afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, then be careful with the work. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first,\" Xia Qing said to him softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao nodded: \"Alright, goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing turned and walked upstairs. Qin Hao watched her go up before turning to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly walked out of the complex and headed outside; Xia Qing had gone upstairs and stood on the balcony watching Qin Hao's figure until he disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know when she started liking Qin Hao. Maybe it was the first time she met him or perhaps it was the warm and mild-mannered aura he emitted that influenced her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't pinpoint when exactly, but sometimes fate just arrives so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their daughter's behavior, Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong would have been too foolish not to understand what she meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that their daughter had taken a liking to Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at each other, and then Tian Rong said to her daughter, \"Xiaoqing, come here, mom wants to talk to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xia Qing's cheeks reddened slightly as she came over and sat on the sofa: \"What is it, mom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rong: \"Mom wants to ask you, tell me the truth, do you like Qin Hao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing's face heated up, turning bright red, and she nodded gently without lifting her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rong continued to ask, \"Have you two made it official?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing, embarrassed, shook her head: \"Not yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yingjie and Tian Rong were taken aback: \"He hasn't confessed to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet,\" Xia Qing said, a bit awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pure and sweet face, standing at 165 centimeters tall and a figure that was both slender and curvaceous, she wouldn't be outshone even in a big city like Jianghai City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yingjie said, \"Xiao Hao is a good man. A guy as outstanding as him must have a lot of admirers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like him, then go for it boldly—dad supports you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rong gave him a sideways glace: \"My daughter is so beautiful, why would she need to chase after someone? I think Qin Hao also has feelings for our daughter; otherwise, he wouldn't have visited our home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yingjie nodded in agreement, he too felt that Qin Hao might have some feelings for his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to her parents, Xia Qing felt somewhat happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Rong added: \"Xiaoqing, your dad and I won't stop you from dating, but there are some things you must not do, understand? Girls need to learn self-respect and self-love. If even you don't cherish yourself, no man will cherish you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing's face turned deep red: \"Mom, I know.\" Experience new stories on empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao arrived at the roasted duck restaurant, took a look around, and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the restaurant was well-managed in all aspects by the staff. With its neat appearance and the enticing aroma of the meat, anyone seeing or smelling it would feel comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hao, are you satisfied?\" Kang Youyi asked with a smile standing beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao nodded slightly, \"Indeed, not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Youyi said with a smile, \"These days I have been having people secretly investigate other roast duck restaurants, learning from their strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I've also paid attention to the turnover of those roast duck restaurants, and it's clear that they're not as good as ours, and their business has also declined a lot compared to before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao nodded slightly, the rise of Jiangshan Roasted Duck was bound to be built on the demise of many of its peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survival of the fittest, natural selection, applies not just to the natural world but also to the marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He answered, \"Hello, may I ask who's calling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this Qin Hao?\" a familiar voice came from the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao had listened to this voice for three years; how could he forget? It was their class teacher's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiously, he asked, \"Mr. Liu, what can I do for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiu began, \"Aren't you all graduates now? A classmate suggested having a class reunion, and I am inviting everyone. Are you free tomorrow at noon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao responded, \"If Mr. Liu invites, even if I am not available, I'll make time. Where will the reunion be held?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't attend after a personal invitation from the class teacher, he would certainly hurt Mr. Liu's feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were to happen, Mr. Liu might say something behind his back like: He's successful now and has forgotten his old teacher, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be a stain on his future reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Mr. Liu had said many good things about him in interviews, though under pressure from above, Qin Hao still felt thankful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Liu, pleased with his response, said, \"The location will be at the Garden Restaurant near our school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Mr. Liu, you can continue to notify the other classmates. I'll definitely be there tomorrow,\" Qin Hao assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, then I'll hang up first,\" said Liu Xiu, ending the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Qin Hao didn't want to go to the reunion, because he was practically unfamiliar with any of the high school classmates, Du Wanrou being the exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Mr. Liu personally called to invite, Du Wanrou would probably also attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, after dinner at home, Qin Hao returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned on his computer and logged into the chat software, sending Du Wanrou a message: \"Did Mr. Liu call you today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Wanrou replied quickly, almost instantaneously: \"Yes, he did. Are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: \"Mr. Liu personally called, do you think I can afford not to go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his message at home, Du Wanrou's face revealed a slight smile: \"You were the champion of our class's unified exams, tomorrow's star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Don't joke with me; you know how those people used to treat me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his response, Du Wanrou blinked, memories of Qin Hao being bullied and ridiculed surfaced in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of those incidents had started because of her, so she always felt a sense of guilt towards Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sometimes, seeing his timidity, Du Wanrou felt a frustration, wishing he had been made of sterner stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Qin Hao now, she couldn't help but recall a few lines: Not heard is well, but a thunderous peal when heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years of enduring hardships, then soaring high in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, Du Wanrou thought the current Qin Hao was quite good, and his personality had also changed a lot compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?? Why aren't you saying anything?\" Qin Hao, seeing that she hadn't replied for a while, couldn't help but send another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Du Wanrou snapped back to the moment: \"Got distracted for a bit. By the way, it's almost time to choose our university preferences. Are you going to Chen University or Jinhua?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","6f94d7513e91fd9e8ef8e08007750b95ac26abdad2c6120797e1ff6f95660e7e","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-69","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-67",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
