When Lory reached home, she left her grocery bag in her room and then took a lunchbox before looking for Zhao Li Xin, soon she found Zhao Li Xin leisurely sitting with his leg crossed over the other next to the swimming pool, he was wearing a dark button shirt with simple leaf embroidery on the sleeves and nude color pants even though it's a simple outfit but on him, it becomes like an haute couture design.

His long hair is loosely braided at the side accentuating his refined features which gives off a charm different from other handsome men but irresistible nevertheless.

The beautiful sight made Lory gasp for breath but then realized the tablet and soda in Zhao Li Xin's hand spoiled the perfect picture, Zhao Li Xin took a sip of soda and then said 'COUGH -COUGH - COUGH!'

"Why?' Lory dropped her shoulders weakly.

Zhao Li Xin wiped the corners of her lips with an even expression before noticing Lory's presence, Zhao Li Xin raised her head and a gentle smile bloomed on his cold face. [You are here!] He put down the tablet on the table.

Lory walks toward him with shopping bags in her two hands [What are you doing?] Lory asked.

[Just learning your language...] he tapped on the tablet and then showed an educational children's cartoon show that teaches children about the alphabet and words, to her surprise this program for kids is aimed at third graders of elementary school so it's quite advanced for someone like Zhao Li Xin who had just learned the language.

[You understand this?] Lory asked doubtfully.

Zhao Li Xin replied calmly [Well, maybe it's because I'm used to hearing you and Mr. Girsha talk first so it's not foreign to me, and this learning program is very helpful]

[Remind me since when did you start studying how come you've already gotten to this stage, I thought you were just learning simple words like apple and banana?] Lory didn't know how Zhao Li Xin divided his time between study, cultivation, and daily activities without being burnout.

The hint of admiration in Lory's voice flattered him, though he didn't know what was so amazing about it, compared to how he used to live his daily lives in this world passed quite peacefully.

[I think having a strong memory gives it a lot of advantages] Zhao Li Xin humbly replied.

Lory's mouth twitched, calling Zhao Li Xin's ability a strong memory was an understatement. Zhao Li Xin has the same intelligence as Lucas or maybe more, it's just that both Lucas and Zhao Li Xin prefer to live a low-key life so they don't attract the attention of others if it weren't for their special circumstances, Maybe no one would ever know about their true abilities.

[Looks like it won't take long for you to speak fluently in my language, when that happens I will have one more less to worry about you] Lory said in glee while pulling the chair across from him.

[Well, That's the plan…] A rare comfortable smile spread across Zhao Li Xin's face, he seemed to be enjoying himself.

Lory had never seen Zhao Li Xin eager about anything other than cultivating or fighting, therefore watching him smile so earnestly made Lory's mood soar for the better, Lory hoped Zhao Li Xin would find other things to pursue other than blood and chaos.

[A side of that, you haven't told me what made you late today and…what is that thing in your hand?] Zhao Li Xin glanced at the colorful square box in Lory's hand.

Lory's grin grew wider [I'll show you my favorite dessert, well...at least one of my favorite] Lory opened the box, and inside was some kind of colorful cake that Zhao Li Xin had never seen but he could smell the sweet scent coming from it, Zhao Li Xin face reflexively curled up due to his distaste for sweets.

Lory giggled at Zhao Li Xin's reaction, she already expecting it [Here try this one, it shouldn't be too sweet for you] Lory gave him dark chocolate macaroons for Zhao Li Xin to taste.

Although he was a bit hesitant, since Lory had made the offer, he didn't refuse. Zhao Li Xin took a bite and found that the cake had a crunchy outside after which she tasted sweet followed by bitterness… It's not bad.

[How?] Lory waited with anticipation.

Zhao Li Xin chewed slowly while nodding his head [Not bad...]

[Truly? Are you serious?] Lory's face immediately brightened.

Zhao Li Xin kept nodding [Tastes like nothing I've ever eaten...it's quite good] he was quite surprised he actually liked it.

Lory clapped excitedly [Yay, we finally found sweets you actually like!]

The truth is Lory didn't have high hope for Zhao Li Xin to like it, as a wealthy man in his world what kind of food he had never tasted before, even so, Zhao Li Xin still hold abhorrence to sweet food and only let those types of food grace the table because of Lory furthermore he even willing to try a bit just to keep her company, and that itself consider being a big compromised according to Mong Yi.

[Oh, to answer your first question, today I met an annoying person] Lory took Zhao Li Xin's soda bottle, she opened the lid before taking a sip and letting out a long sigh then let out a brief burp.

Zhao Li Xin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lory with slight envy as Lory drank with ease without coughing even once.

Zhao Li Xin didn't know what was wrong with him? he was able to endure the most deadly poison from ravaging his body for years yet this bubbling drink made him cough into tears.

[His name is Jacob Augburn, and he is the older brother of the young man we saw with Lilly for the first time, do you remember... It's a stupid question, okay, this is their photo,] Lory took out her cell phone and showed the photo of the Augburn brothers to Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin stared at the picture with an indifferent gaze, then Lory told Zhao Li Xin what happened this afternoon with Lilly, and Zhao Li Xin listened intently while enjoying the sweets that he had never been able to fully enjoy in the past.

[Looks like a big storm will hit this family] Zhao Li Xin said afterward.

Lory handed a wet tissue to Zhao Li Xin to clean her hands of crumbs while saying: [Too bad but this is normal for a large group like Ellecant so I'm not surprised, although I was quite surprised by Ron's bravery, oops correction, stupidity]

[meaning this family will have more problems than they already have] Zhao Li Xin muttered while wiping her hands.

[Oh, you mean about S.A.I.N.T. organizational involvement in Ethan Hamilton's accident] said Lory.

[Yeah, I actually had a meaningful conversation with that old man, Hu-Go]

"Hugo" Lory corrected him.

[Ah huh… Hugo?] Zhao Li Xin raised his brows in question, wondering if he spelled the old man's name correctly.

Lory gave an affirmation nod afterward Zhao Li Xin continued on about his conversation with Hugo, Lory was taken aback by the information she got from Zhao Li Xin however her expression gradually eased as she gained more insight about what was really going on in this world.

[I hope you don't mind, I made the decision without discussing it with you beforehand] Zhao Li Xin showed remorse because he realized that this would affect Lory's plans but at that time Zhao Li Xin felt that this would benefit Lory greatly.

Lory waved his hand casually [It's fine, I trust your judgment. After all your decision is right and I think we can trust the Hamilton family] Lory had always trusted Zhao Li Xin's every decision from the past and she wouldn't be stupid to doubt it now, Zhao Li Xin saw the immovable trust in Lory's eyes feel please and touched.

[Does that mean you should spend more time painting if so, then what about your cultivation and your study?] Lory covered her mouth while looking at him worriedly.

Zhao Li Xin laughed at Lory's unnecessary worry, [Painting isn't difficult at all so it won't take time as much as you think, and after I checked the standard of ink painting in this world it's not strange that my random doodles can be valued so much,] he sighed heavily.

Zhao Li Xin continues with voice relaying genuine concern [I think when it comes to art your world is very lacking not only in technique but also inspiration…though I can say the same thing with the clothes that people here wearing] Zhao Li Xin's sneer.

Lory felt offended, but she had no words to refute because compared to the art in Zhao Li Xin's world the art in her world was indeed lacking and she often complained about this with Girsha
