You Zhengping flew at top speed to the restroom to gather his underlings. The underlings curiously asked, "Well, did you scare your blind date?"

"Shut up!" You Zhengping smacked the back of the head of the underling who had spoken. "Hurry up and find me some normal clothes, and the hair, my heavens, what am going to do about the multi-colored hair!"

The underlings were stunned by their fickle boss. A second ago, he'd wanted to ruin the blind date. The next second, he was ready to grow old with his blind date. Their boss's temper was like summer rain; it could come at any time. Cen Xiao glanced at the restroom's faucets and shot Shi Yongfu a swift look. Shi Yongfu swiftly barricaded the restroom door, not letting anyone come in from outside.

"Boss, control your temper," Cen Xiao said, pointing at the heat-sensitive faucets. Water was trickling from all the faucets.

You Zhengping quickly calmed himself, not letting his special abilities influence the things around him.

Among the Protectors, he was the one with the strongest special ability, and also the hardest time controlling his abilities. To stabilize his emotions and control his abilities, when his closed-door training ended, You Zhengping would participate in contests in all kinds of extreme sports. He needed to experience all kinds of extreme emotions and control his special ability during the contests.

You Zhengping had experienced the despair of near death, the fear of the unknown, the anxiety of his teammates facing danger, and other glad and sorrowful extreme emotions. To control himself, he had tried experiencing all emotions once. His parents only saw him doing extreme sports; they didn't know that You Zhengping had once spent over a month alone in a pitch-black building.

He was well aware that he was a double-edged sword. In order to fully grasp the blade, he had to endure all hardships. He had already succeeded, but it turned out that a blind date had sent all his efforts down the drain. He had experienced all kinds of emotions, but he hadn't fallen in love.

The crowd of underlings quickly jumped out of the restroom window to find clothes. They were well-trained and robust; within five minutes, they all left and returned, bringing a suit, tie, and leather shoes for You Zhengping.

"There's really nothing to do about the hair," Shi Yongfu said. "Why don't you use a wig to deal with it? I found a wig that that looks a lot like your hairstyle before."

With all their efforts, they finally stabilized You Zhengping's emotions, and the faucets stopped running on their own.

Cen Xiao opened the restroom door and gave You Zhengping a thumbs up. "Go and get him, boss! You can do it!"

You Zhengping felt that the suit he was wearing had turned into armor. He nodded at his underlings, fixed his tie and wig, and walked out with an expression that looked like he was going to conquer the whole universe.

As soon as he'd left the restroom, the underlings collapsed to the floor in fear. Their boss being in love had the sense of crisis of a world war. You Zhengping looked at his watch. He'd told Yu Hua five minutes, but it had been fifteen. He didn't know whether Yu Hua had gotten impatient and left.

He took a deep breath and opened the private room's door. He saw that Yu Hua had taken off his suit jacket. He was wearing a dark gray shirt. His strong-jointed hand held a teapot with a classical air; he was pouring tea into two cups.

When he had poured the tea, Yu Hua put down the teapot and turned his head to You Zhengping, who was standing by the door. He didn't ask what he had been doing going out for so long, didn't pay attention to his attire being completely different from before. He stood up and smiled amidst the fragrance of the tea. "You're back."
