Chapter 3: Inner Breath (Part 2)

  "Right, I've made some effort, come on, let me help you mop the floor!"

  "Hey, Fang Xin, you've changed a lot. You didn't used to be like this," said Li Changping at this time.

  "People are always changing, Changping, you don't have to do it anymore. You go buy some ingredients, I learned some cooking skills during the holiday, and today I'm going to cook."

  "Dizzy, are you going to cook? Don't treat your brothers as lab rats!" Li Changping couldn't help but roll his eyes.

  "What's with all the fuss? Can't you hurry up?"

  Li Changping grumbled a few times, but still listened and went out.

  In fact, the dormitory has a cleaning system, living room, balcony, kitchen, bathroom, two people work together, not much time, and the place is cleaned up, while each person's own room is naturally cleaned by themselves.

  The door was opened with a card, and although it had been a long time since I lived here, there was still no smell in the room.

  Bed, computer system, cabinet, desk, just this simple.

  If he's lazy, it's actually okay to just stay there, he's not a cleanliness freak or anything, just sweep and tidy up the inside.

  The window is open, letting in a gentle breeze, and from the nearby woods comes the chirping of birds.

  After tidying up for a while, just as he was about to finish cleaning the room, he suddenly found that dark clouds were slowly approaching, and there wasn't much time before several raindrops fell. The raindrops weren't big, but they were hazy and shrouded the entire sky.

  It was unexpectedly discovered that Mei Changtian had already gone out, the balcony door was not closed, and a thick mist blew in, making the room cool.

  Fang Xin sat on the sofa in the living room, calm and peaceful. Suddenly, a thread of energy began to flow again in the Jade Ruyi, this was an internal breath circulation diagram.

  Fang Xin seemed to be thinking deeply, and began to carefully observe the operation diagram. There was nothing special about it, except that the Qi Hai position was slightly deeper. If one had to say that there were any changes, then it would be that a few of the connections and circulation methods had changed slightly. However, this change, in general, showed some improvement, although the degree of improvement was not high. But accumulated over time, it was still quite significant.

  It seemed like some kind of trick, and Fang Xin felt a familiar feeling. He remembered the small booklet that Uncle An had given him, took it out, read it carefully, and indeed, after not much time, he found similar instructions inside.

  After some thought, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. How many unspoken secrets are there in the world? However, some techniques and knowledge hidden in public versions aren't something that everyone can learn.

  It's just like those good students on earth, maybe they have some learning skills, but it's neither a secret that's not passed down, nor is it something that everyone knows.

  At this time, I was looking at the internal breath chart and also referring to the description on the booklet. By comparing them, I quickly understood some of it.

  Think and act, with a gentle breath, warm and nourishing, carefully experiencing the subtle differences.

  Half an hour later, Fang Xin, who had gained some insight, heard the sound and slowly stopped. When he got up and came out, it was Li Changping and Mei Changtian.

  "Ah Xin, I've run so far for you, you'd better make a few dishes!" As soon as he came in, Li Changping shouted loudly. He was actually pushing a cargo cart, which was full of food, making Fang Xinyu feel annoyed: "Look at Zhang Tian, he only brought some flowers, and flowers can't be eaten."

  Mei Changtian indeed held some flowers in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, he went to the living room table to insert the flowers.

  "Stop pretending, tidy up everything and see what we're having for lunch today." Fang Xin said, looking around with a surprised expression, only to see Mei Changtian inserting something, instantly making the table bright, and the whole room filled with a lively atmosphere.

  With just a few strokes, there was already some artistic conception. The flower arrangement was shallow and elegant, with refined composition. Mei Changtian paused for a moment, his hand hovering over the flowers, which swayed gently, releasing a refreshing fragrance that filled the room.

  "Flower Rhyme Revival Method!" Fang Xin, who had a noble family's memories, looked and was suddenly shocked.

  This art of flower arrangement has amazed him, but the method of preserving the life of flowers is even more a lesson for flower artists. The inner breath should be soft and continuous, weak and long-lasting. It is often used in aristocratic families to nourish their vitality and nature. It is said that those who cultivate it deeply can make the cut flowers last for a month without withering, and still retain their vitality.

  Cultivating one's nature, cultivating the body to regenerate endlessly, cultivating clarity and tranquility to see great interest in simple things, is of immense benefit, but few young people can appreciate this state of mind and technique.

  The unclear charm of flowers, not nurturing the interest in life, is difficult to enter the realm. Color, fragrance, and posture can certainly give people aesthetic pleasure, but the charm of flowers and the interest in life deepen this pleasure and last forever, which is the essence.

  However, being able to purify the charm of flowers and cultivate a sense of interest, this shows that this person has already laid the foundation for further improvement in their mental state. - Mei Changtian was not born into an ordinary family, how did he learn such techniques and attainments?

  Fang Xing unexpectedly didn't know his roommate's current situation, which is also a kind of loss.

  At the moment, I have something on my mind. There are many things in this world, so it's not surprising. Separate the ingredients one by one, put away some packaged snacks and waxed meats first, while fresh but temporarily unused materials are stored in the refrigerator, and take out others to start preparing.

  Concentrating on cooking, with flashes of knife light, in no time at all, several dishes were brought out.

  Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried greens, meat and eggplant, and a soup. Li Changping rushed over to eat a few mouthfuls, then started saying: "Really not bad, really not bad, the flavor is almost as good as the two-star restaurant I ate at. I didn't expect Ah Xin that you have this skill, in the future your girlfriend and wife will be blessed."

  This culinary skill was naturally acquired.

  "It's always good to learn something during the holidays when you're bored." Fang Xinyan said lazily, "I'm absolutely not a second-rate chef, at most I'm just so-so as a first-rate one."

  Mei Changtian took a few bites and also showed a surprised expression. Several months had passed, and this roommate had indeed become more skilled, with a hint of profundity that was hard to fathom, and his demeanor had changed as well.

  Although it is said that there should be no secondary culinary skills, having a first-class culinary certificate makes one eligible to work as a chef in an ordinary restaurant. Generally, it takes about a year of study, but learning to this level in just a few months is not easy.

  After eating, the three of them became closer and lay on the sofa chatting idly. They picked up the remote control and turned it on, and the big screen naturally displayed. They talked about everything under the sun, passing the time for the entire afternoon, after all, tomorrow was the first day of school.

  Li Changping comes from a wealthy family, while Mei Changtian is from an ordinary family. However, he has worked hard and has a steady personality, winning the school's scholarship for many years, and has now clearly pulled ahead of the other two. At least compared to Fang Xin in the past, Fang Xin had a relatively better background, not just because of wealth, but also because of his family's academic achievements, and his handsome appearance made him very popular among girls.

  "My cousin is getting engaged, three weeks from now on Sunday, Uncle will be distributing gifts to relatives and friends to celebrate, why don't you two come with me?" Li Changping said suddenly.

  "Older cousin? How many years older?"

  "She's only seventeen, she likes a guy five years older than her, working at Flame Company, and even her uncle agrees. She's a lucky girl, with an apartment as her dowry worth three million, which will be transferred to her name." said Li Changping.

  In this world, although marriage is allowed at 18 years old, many young people inherit the tradition of falling in love and getting married very early.

  "Ah, the weather isn't too hot anymore, but I promised to go, so I'll go. Don't bother us with trivial things, and besides, I'm just a student, I don't have many gifts to offer, so I made a handmade doll for her."

  "Cut it out, Ah Xin, are you willing to go? My family still owes you a gift?" Li Changping looked down on him.

  "Boo still needs to be sent, it's the thought that counts. Chang Tian, you should go too, just like me, making your own gift is already not bad, let's just have a lively time."

  Mei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then said: "Okay, I'll work at Diamond Jewelry Company during my vacation, learn some design skills, and coincidentally the company is launching a new bride-themed activity, which suits me perfectly."

  "Hmm, diamonds are cheap, but making good jewelry isn't easy, it all depends on the design."

  Diamonds are indeed worthless because artificial diamond technology has advanced. Now, the quality of artificial diamonds is no less than that of top-notch natural diamonds.

  "A mustard seed is a universe, a grain of sand is a world. I designed a diamond earring set and thought it was relatively cute. I originally wanted to submit it as homework, but now I'll just give it as a gift!" Mei Changtian said, flipping over.
