Exorcist’s Self-Cultivation

Eek!

When Alex opened the door, it was much earlier than Du Wei had expected.

He coughed casually and flicked away the cigarette, stomping it out with his foot.

Seeing this, Alex’s handsome brows raised slightly, and she hummed discontentedly in her heart.

She didn’t really like Du Wei smoking, or to be precise, smoking too much.

Because it was bad for his health.

If they ever decided to have kids in the future, smoking and drinking could be quite troublesome.

But since they weren’t married yet, she felt it wasn’t her place to say anything.

However, as Alex sized up Du Wei, she didn’t notice where the “gift” actually was.

So, with a hint of surprise, she asked, “Honey, where’s the gift you prepared?”

Du Wei replied with a faint smile, “It’s in the car. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

Saying so, he took a serious look at his girlfriend.

Without makeup he could hardly tell.

But no matter how he looked, Alex was always stunningly beautiful.

Her facial features were naturally exquisite, and she wore a simple, pale white dress that made her seem less coldly beautiful than before, adding a touch of gentle softness instead.

Yet, even so, her tall stature still gave an imposing impression.

Alex felt a bit shy under Du Wei’s gaze, but the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up slightly.

“Do I look good, baby?”

With a challenging air, she looked at Du Wei and moved closer to him, intending to embrace him as an affectionate gesture.

However, inadvertently, she glanced at the car.

And with just one look, she was stunned.

“This… this…”

Alex was flustered as she turned her head, staring at Du Wei in disbelief, “Honey, is this the gift you prepared?”

Had she seen it wrong? The entire trunk was filled with fresh flowers, still with dew on them, obviously freshly picked not long ago.

Du Wei smiled, “How is it? Isn’t it a surprise?”

As he spoke, Du Wei took Alex’s delicate hand and led her to the back seat of the car.

Inside, it was crammed with all kinds of fresh flowers.

“Look, there’s more here.”

Alex was completely baffled; she felt the urge to give Du Wei a good thrashing.

The surprise she had been waiting for so long turned out to be a car full of fresh flowers?

Only her boyfriend would use a McLaren GT for carrying flowers.

And the main point was, it seemed the first gift she ever received from him was also flowers, right?

After so long, was his concept of a surprise only manifested in quantity?

Is this what a typical straight man does?

Alex was beginning to question life.

But Du Wei was still quite pleased as he explained, “I picked all these flowers overnight from the flower fields of Scolyn City, one by one, because I thought you’d really like them.”

“Last time you wouldn’t let me give you lipstick, and I think you made a good point.”

“So, what do you think? Is this batch of fresh flowers thoughtful?”

Having finished.

Du Wei noticed something was off with Alex’s expression and hurriedly asked, “Dear, don’t you like flowers?”

Alex looked at him with complex eyes and said, “It’s… it’s okay, I guess. And you just said, all these flowers were picked by you?”

“Yeah.”

Alex asked again, “So you ran off to Scolyn in the middle of the night just to pick flowers for me, to prepare this surprise?”

Du Wei touched the back of his head, saying awkwardly, “Is it a bit corny?”

Alex looked at him, her azure eyes gentle as water, filled with many complex emotions, profound as whirlpools, which made Du Wei want to dive into them.

“It’s pretty corny, alright, but…”

Alex tilted her head, then pecked a kiss on the corner of Du Wei’s mouth, “I really like your gift, and I really like you, too.”

“But you, running off to Scolyn in the dead of night, I don’t even know what to say about that.”

“You, oh you, you’re such a headache.”

Alex couldn’t help but hug Du Wei, tiptoeing to kiss his eyes, “Baby, you fascinate me.”

Du Wei wrapped his arms around her soft waist, whispering, “As long as you’re happy.”

Alex smiled playfully, whispering in his ear, “So baby, shouldn’t we talk now about your involvement in the criminal case with the police?”

Du Wei calmly said, “What do you mean? I wasn’t involved, didn’t Tom tell you?”

Alex gave a cold laugh, “You think I’d believe that?”

“My mom told me, you men have your own secret codes, and the closer you are, the more you cover for each other.”

“You underestimate women way too much, baby.”

Du Wei maintained a very calm face, “I think you should trust me. Is this your doubt in me? Do you see me as that untrustworthy?”

Alex snorted, “To make me trust you? Fine, come inside, we’ll talk in detail in bed.”

Du Wei’s eyes changed, “I’m feeling a bit under the weather.”

Alex said teasingly, “Oh? Do men also get their periods?”

Without another word, she pulled Du Wei into the house.

…

An hour later.

Du Wei sat on the bed, silently pulling a pack of cigarettes from the clothes on the ground, but thinking it wouldn’t be right to use that lighter in front of Alex, he just held it in his hand, motionless.

“Here, I bought one for you.”

Alex lay beside him, casually taking a gift box from the bedside table. After opening it, inside was an exquisitely designed Zippo lighter.

Du Wei awkwardly took the lighter and lit his cigarette.

Smoking it, something suddenly felt strange.

“I thought you didn’t like me smoking?”

Alex said indifferently, “That depends on when. Just smoke less from now on, and next time, stay out of police matters. Those murderers are very dangerous.”

Du Wei hummed in acknowledgment.

What he told Alex was that he indeed had gone to cooperate with the police on a criminal case, but he didn’t utter a word about Evil Spirit.

So, he had managed to bluff his way through.

Heh, women.

Thinking this, Du Wei’s face didn’t show the slightest hint of these thoughts as he asked softly, “By the way, what about the flowers in the car? I picked for quite a long time, at least a couple thousand bunches. Should we ask the security to help bring them in?”

Alex rolled her eyes, “How could I let someone else touch the things you give me? I’ll go get them myself later.”

With that, Alex got off the bed, her graceful figure causing Du Wei to feel enchanted.

“I’m going to take a shower first. So are you going back home tonight?”

While saying that, Alex walked towards the bathroom.

Du Wei thought about it; now at home were just Annabelle and the Antique Clock. As for the dark shadow, he had already turned it into the new Masked Evil Spirit, and it was almost useless now, so whether he went back or not, nothing would happen.

Thus, watching his girlfriend walk away, Du Wei said with a smile, “I won’t go back tonight. I’m actually planning to take a vacation soon to spend some quality time with you.”
