Chapter 142

Chapter 142

After finishing the steamed buns, Xu Lin was persuaded by Father Bai to have a glass of beer. Although he didn’t like drinking, he felt obliged to have one due to Father Bai’s hospitality.

“Uncle, I have a little something to relieve pain. Let me apply it for you and see if it works.”

As they finished their meal, Xu Lin suddenly remembered the experiment with the healing bead and took out the green gem from his pocket.

“Through the clothes?”

“Yes, it’s a form of quantum magnetic therapy.”

“Oh?” Both Mr. and Mrs. Bai were somewhat puzzled, but seeing the small ball resembling a glass bead, their confusion deepened.

But seeing Xu Lin’s serious expression, he also felt like giving it a try. Besides, Bai Xiaoxiao, as a good student, didn’t know anything about quantum magnetic therapy, but since Xu Lin was doing it, there must be a reason. So, she didn’t say anything.

Xu Lin then took a small ball and gently placed it on Father Bai’s injured leg, rolling it slowly over the clothes.

After rolling back and forth for more than ten rounds, Xu Lin slowly retracted the beads, looking at Father Bai with some anticipation.

“How do you feel?”

“Nothing much... Oh? Wait, it’s a bit warm! Suddenly feels much more comfortable on my feet... It really works!”

“Alright then, I’ll come over whenever I have time. My mom is also using this, so I’ll buy another one and give it to my uncle.”

Xu Lin actually thought if this thing could really fix bone fractures, it would be amazing. But he could only buy one, and who knows when he will find it again.

“Don’t spend too much! You coming over to hang out and chat with me is enough.”

“Okay, then uncle, I should go back, there are still some things to do.”

“Alright, I won’t keep you then. Xiaoxiao, see Xu Lin off!”

“Mm.”

Xu Lin and Bai Xiaoxiao left the room together. Father Bai also waved to Mother Bai, who then sat down on the edge of the bed.

“He’s a good kid, isn’t he?”

“You’ve said that a dozen times already. No matter what, I still don’t agree with Xiaoxiao being friends with him!”

“Those things of yours are all in the past. It’s time for Xiaoxiao to have her own life,” Father Bai said.

“Then why don’t you ask your daughter?” Mother Bai curled her lips. She believed her daughter definitely didn’t want to talk about relationships, just wanted to focus on studying.

A few minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao entered the room and saw her parents looking at her together.

“What’s going on?”

“Xiaoxiao, come over here, I have something to ask you.”

“Oh.” Bai Xiaoxiao obediently sat down.

“Do you have anyone you like?”

“Huh? Mom, what are you talking about?” Bai Xiaoxiao immediately tucked her hands into her sleeves and gripped the fabric tightly.

“Do you have anyone?”

“I don’t... I don’t know.”

From smuggled goods to authentic products, everything was available here. He got his computer from here; which young boy hasn’t scavenged through trash before?

He came with a huge sum of money this time, heading straight for his target! But he’s not comfortable buying things like cameras here. Today, he’ll focus on getting the audio equipment.

Parking his bicycle, he briskly walked into the market, heading directly towards the innermost part. Remembering along the way, he realized he had a classmate whose family seemed to sell audio equipment.

Finally arriving at the entrance of a small shop named Heijia Audio, Xu Lin peered through the glass.

He saw a familiar buzz-cut figure sitting on a stool, yawning incessantly, looking bored.

“It’s indeed Hei Yuanliang family’s shop. I’m not mistaken, Hei Yuanliang!”

“Who?”

He shouted out, and the other party stood up. Upon seeing Xu Lin enter from outside, he immediately hugged him with a smile.

“Wow, I was so bored. Did you come to take me out to play? I will tell my dad I am going to the library to buy books with you!”

“No, I’m here to buy something.”

“What? Buying something, what are you buying? Those kinds of discs? Hehe, didn’t expect you kid to...”

Hei Yuanliang hooked his neck, looking like an experienced driver, and whispered.

“You don’t have to spend money, I’ll secretly give you a few, you can take a look when you go back.”

“No, no, I’m here to buy proper things.”

“Headphones?”

Hei Yuanliang looked at him who wore a serious expression and felt a bit disappointed. But selling stuff isn’t bad, I can secretly stash some money for myself, anyway, mom and dad won’t know.

“It’s not that, I need audio equipment, like for recording songs, and also portable devices like lapel microphones, I need good ones.”

“Wow, Xu Lin, why do you need such professional equipment?”

“I’m shooting a video.”

“Don’t be funny, still shooting videos?” Hei Yuanliang had never seen anyone wanting to shoot a video to buy things, it’s too novel.

“Really, help me pick something suitable.”

“I’ll have to ask my dad about this.”

Hei Yuanliang saw that Xu Lin wasn’t joking and also shouted towards the back room, “Dad! Someone wants to buy something, come over here!”

“That while your dad’s not here, lend me your study materials for a bit.”

“What study... Stop pretending to be serious! Hey, I’ll go get them for you!”

“This is called studying art!”

“Then I must be a great artist!”
