"Alright, watch closely—I am a trustworthy bodyguard," Mai said to Shuixian.
He usually played the cool guy because he thought it was easier to win over girls that way. But under Qian's pressure, Mai felt he might be doubted.
Based on the intel he had gathered, Teng Shuixian's feelings for Qian were anything but ordinary; he feared Qian might gossip with Shuixian, so Mai saw this as a great chance to win Shuixian's trust.
He stacked a few bricks together, then raised his hand adorned with black half-finger gloves and gave them a powerful chop, smashing them all.
He proudly made a humble hand gesture.
"Ladies first."
Liumei thought she could probably smash one or two bricks, and as she was wondering how to proceed, her shoulder was held down by Yu Minglang.
It was a sign for Liumei to remain silent.
"Are you practicing hard martial arts?" Yu Minglang asked, though his gaze was fixed on Mai's gloves.
