Cordelia, with a resolute gaze, declared, "Love isn't part of the equation for me, and I have no intention of changing that.”Hannah smiled and said, "Of course, you are, but you won't know until you realize it yourself. The hard Cordelia who hated to do anything with a man has been kissed, even aww, how nice."Cordelia frowned and said, "It's not funny; you're mocking me instead of helping me figure out what's wrong with me."Hannah laughed and teased, "You've gotten loveria, a disease that makes one overthink about their lovers." She mocked, "You!”Cordelia was about to respond when suddenly her phone started ringing. She took it, and to her surprise, the name "Benjamin" was on the caller ID.She turned to look at Hannah without a word. Hannah, with a surprised smile, winked at her, saying, "He's calling. Quickly answer, my dear.”Without wasting time, Cordelia answered on loudspeaker, attaching the phone to her ear without saying a word."Oh, you're already awake? At this early t

As Benjamin approached, he noticed smoke rising in the air, a clear sign of a fire burning nearby, perhaps for cooking or warmth. The atmosphere felt serene, with the distant hills adding to the picturesque setting. The surroundings were filled with the soft rustling of leaves and the occasional chirping of birds.Frowning lightly, Benjamin moved closer to the place, wondering who might be living in this secluded countryside spot. He walked slowly towards the hut, his senses heightened as he approached. When he finally reached the clearing, he was amazed at what lay before him. The place seemed like a martial arts haven frozen in time.The ground was marked with the imprints of countless training sessions, and old martial arts training sticks leaned against the hut, weathered but still sturdy. Tires hung from ropes, swaying gently in the breeze. The surrounding trees added to the ambiance, casting shadows that danced across the training ground.To his amazement, upon closer inspectio

He smiled at the man and said, "Sir, this is a renowned masterpiece by the esteemed artist, Aeliana Celestia. Her work has left an indelible mark on the art world, and this particular piece, titled 'Celestial Reverie,' has garnered acclaim for its enchanting portrayal of a mythical realm."Aeliana Celestia? The man exclaimed, his eyes widening in astonishment. The name seemed to resonate with some people in the crowd who had heard about this renowned artist before. Whispers of admiration and recognition rippled through the onlookers.Turning to the artist with an intrigued expression, the man sought assurance. "Are you sure? This is really a painting by Aeliana Celestia?”The artist, beaming with pride, nodded confidently. "Absolutely, sir. How could I lie? My old master acquired it by chance, and it has been in our possession. We initially decided not to sell it, but when you mentioned your daughter's love for it, I couldn't resist bringing it out.”The man's disbelief shifted to del

Benjamin didn't know what he was doing, so he slowly sat on the floor, staring at the old man while waiting for him. He sat there for almost half an hour, wondering what the old man was doing that kept him for so long.It was at that moment the old man opened his eyes and looked at Benjamin."Good morning, master. I've been waiting for you for over half an hour," Benjamin got up and said.The old man didn't say a word and asked, "You're here for the training? Are you sure you can?"Benjamin nodded and said, "Of course, master. I'm ready to learn from you, no matter how difficult it is.”The old man got up, looked at Benjamin's clothes, and nodded lightly. "Good, there's no complaining once we start. If you're not serious, it's better you leave and not waste time."Benjamin shook his head and said, "I'm ever ready, master. I'm ready to learn.” Benjamin paused for a while before saying, “But wait, master, when I came, you didn't open your eyes. What if it was someone else who was here

Moesha reassured him, "No, don't worry. Just a scratch, I'll fix it." Despite her happiness at seeing Benjamin, she couldn't help but notice his tired appearance and plain, slightly dirty clothes."Mr. Hayes, you look tired. This might cause another accident. Why not let me drive you home? You're familiar with me, right?" she suggested."Drive me home?" Benjamin was stunned, glancing at her car in front, and asked, "What about your car?”Moesha smiled and reassured him, "You don't have to worry. I'll park it aside and call someone to come and move it."With no other option, Benjamin nodded, "I'll worry you then. Thank you."Moesha shook her head, "It's nothing. I'm happy doing this."After the traffic cleared, she moved her car aside and quickly got inside Benjamin's car. It was only then that Benjamin could properly see her. She looked alluring in her dress – a blue short office skirt that exposed her thighs a bit.Benjamin stared at Moesha's thighs for a while, appreciating the allu
