CH 29

Fang Huaining stood alone at the station, waiting for the bus to arrive. When he raised his head, he could see a moon, about as big as a washbasin in the sky. But such a big moon was not bright at all, and the surrounding areas were pitch black.

Mosquitoes were buzzing in his ears, and their noise became louder and louder. Fang Huaining couldn’t avoid them by standing in one place, so he could only step on the dirty, muddy ground and circle around in a small area. After waiting for a long time, the bus finally arrived.

The vechile was already full of people, and although Fang Huaining was unwilling to get in, he was chased into the bus by roaring mosquitoes. At the same time, a strange scent seemed to surround him. It wasn’t the smell of body odor or sweat from the crowd, but cool air mixed with a hint of fresh aloe vera.

He sniffed.

Then sniffed again.

There were a lot of people, and the bus was also jerking around. Fang Huaining, who couldn’t catch the handrail, was sometimes here and sometimes there, like a fish falling into raging waters, being pushed by the crowd in the bus, all the way from one door to the other. Then when he looked up, he saw the back of a familiar figure.

The other party was looking outside the window, and slowly turned around after hearing some noise, his eyes fixed on Fang Huaining’s face.

After looking at him carefully, the person sighed, “How come you’ve been bitten by mosquitoes so many times…”

Fang Huaining felt the tip of his fingers reach out and gently scratch his cheek.

The person asked again, “Is it itchy?”

Fang Huaining nodded unconsciously.

“Where is it itching?”

Fang Huaining was in a daze, and blurted out: “Heart…”

The person by the door smiled slyly when he heard the answer: “If that’s it, I have a solution.”

Fang Huaining glanced at his beautiful face, and his eyes couldn’t help falling on the other party’s red lips. His lines of his throat moved as he swallowed, and his voice came out somewhat hoarse: “I know…”

He knew this.

“Then… let’s try it.” The other party raised the corner of his mouth.

Fang Huaining wanted to say yes, and for some reason, he was a little scared. Anticipating, but scared.

However, before he could agree, the crowds on both sides began to roughly shift again, pushing him forward without hesitation. He was getting closer and closer to the person by the door, and just like this…Fang Huaining was already close enough to him to be able to feel each other’s breath on their skins. Once again reminding him of sweet, soft, pudding. 

He didn’t know if it tasted the same way.

Fang Huaining licked his lips, and lowered his head uncontrollably…

“Biu~biu~biu~biu~biu~~~~”

A piercing tone sounded, causing the person lying in front of the computer table to sit up suddenly!

Fang Huaining blankly searched around for a while before realizing that this noise was the alarm that he had set before, in order to remind himself on time when the computer storage ran out. He did not expect that timing to be so bad.

Fang Huaining got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and then pressed his forehead against the edge of the wall to take two deep breaths before he calmed down.

What a fucking dream!

What the fuck is with this recurring dream!

After cursing twice in his heart, he went back to the computer and kicked the disturbing alarm device into the trash can, and then turned off the computer.

It was already bright outside, so Fang Huaining changed his clothes and went to A University.

Instead of taking the bus, he took the subway. Several stops along the way had schools nearby, so many students were crowded in the carriage. Fang Huaining had already chosen a corner to stand in, but he could still feel someone or the other pointing at him the entire time. Pointing and whispering.

He could only take out his phone and turn a blind eye. When he turned on the screen, his fingers clicked on the Little Field app faster than his brain could think.

It’s just that he’s been upset about someone recently, and he can’t see that certain someone when he’s in a messy state of mind, so he decided to turn his energy towards some professional issues, and of course the most handy professional software around him is this, this is the reason why Fang Huaining poked open this app from time to time recently, yes, this is the reason.

Sure enough, there were a few more records in the accounting software. In fact, although Fang Huaining was doing perverted things, he felt that he was still a pervert who had a bottom line. The accounting software, of course, had records of both expenses and of income, but Fang Huaining never peeped at Li Ting’s financial information regarding income. How much deposit did Li Ting have, what was his daily income, and how did he save his money?

Now, Fang Huaining knew that Li Ting is eating steamed buns again today, he has been eating steamed stuffed buns for almost a week, and he eats a lot, he can eat five for one meal. Every day, steamed stuffed buns for lunch, and steamed stuffed buns for dinner, most of the fillings were of vegetables, bought at the corner stalls in the shopping street.

This person is really not picky. Does he really like to eat this or is it because he is too busy to buy anything else? 

Why doesn’t that bookstore provide staff meals?

Isn’t it too little for him to eat?

And what does he like to eat? There is a very famous barbeque restaurant in the shopping street, he must have never tried it…

Fang Huaining realized that his thoughts had wandered away in the wrong direction again, and he came back to his senses. What he wants to do, what he eats, and what he doesn’t like to eat, it is none of his business. It’s not his turn to worry about it…

Just as he was about to discouragedly close the app, two new records were automatically added onto the page.

Small rabbits x200, ￥: 3600 yuan

Machine x3, ￥: 2400 yuan.

Fang Huaining was shocked when he saw it.

The total cost of these items was nearly 6,000 yuan. For Li Ting, who used old mobile phones and second-hand computers, the total price was always hovering at two or three yuan. This was a shockingly big sum of money.

What made the little money fan bleed so much?

What was he doing by himself? !

Fang Huaining was very curious.

**********

Li Ting on the other end was on the afternoon shift today. He had a ledger on his desk and a calculator nearby.

Tian Dian sat in front of the computer on one side, rarely not playing games, and his fingers stumbled around on the keyboard.

Li Ting gave him a strange look, and asked, “What are you doing?”

Tian Dian said with a serious expression, “Advertisement.”

“What advertisement?”

“Didn’t I tell you that our bar owner is going to open a new restaurant, and the address is very close to University A, Xiao Mi and the others are thinking about going to help, and I am also thinking about it, so we need to advertise before opening, But…why do those websites always delete my posts and block my IP adress. And then, then they also call me to ask for money.”

Tian Dian was angry.

“Fortunately, I was prepared. Xiao Mi showed it to me. I will change my IP and post it again. Hmph, who told them to delete me.”

Li Ting looked at him: “Didn’t you say that you signed a three-year contract with boss? It’s expired now. Do you want to re-new it and work in his new restraunt?”

Tian Dian paused his typing, and smiled: “It’s not time yet.”

Li Ting didn’t speak.

Tian Dian seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and turned to comfort him: “Li-zi, when I borrowed the money, I also owed a favor, so I need to pay it off, you have nothing to worry about since long ago. And these three years I also made a lot of money from it, so it’s not a big loss. If I really go to work at the restaurant, the environment would be much better than a bar.”

Li Ting still didn’t speak.

Tian Dian leaned over and pinched his face: “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine now, everything will be fine.”

Li Ting dodged his hand, raised his leg and gave him a kick: “Get lost.”

Tian Dian giggled and went to work again, but he lost his patience after a while, and by the time Li Ting finished his calculations, he had already fallen asleep on one of the benches.

Li Ting moved him away speechlessly, after thinking about it, he still took a blanket from the room and threw it over.

Will it really be fine?

Anyway…

Li Ting originally wanted to turn off the computer, but his eyes suddenly fell on the newly installed program on the desktop.

Switch IP adress?

Li Ting blinked, turned around and sat down. He opened the program first, and after connecting it, he opened the browser and entered the link for the lemon tree website.

He thought, he is definetly not the only one who knows the password to his private section, and Fang Huaining’s roommates probably visit the site too, so…it should be fine this way.

*********

Wei Ping was cleaning the table when she looked up and saw Fang Huaining, who hadn’t been here for a long time, come in. He seemed to have something in his hand.

As Wei Ping watched, her eyes gradually widened: “Wow…you actually bought the roast meat rice from Xiangmitang?”

Fang Huaining looked around the shop, found a seat and sat down, then asked casually: “Have you eaten?”

Wei Ping mournfully answered, “I already ate, but some people haven’t eaten yet.”

Fang Huaining was about to say something, but then he saw the employee duty list on the back wall of the store. It was clear at a glance who the people on duty were, and none of them were who he wanted to see.

Fang Huaining’s face turned cold, and suddenly, he moved his hand to push the barbecue over: “Give it to anyone who hasn’t eaten yet.”

Wei Ping looked at him in surprise: “You came here to be a delivery boy?”

Fang Huaining said: “Bought too much”.

This lame excuse? Wei Ping was suspicious.

“Tell me the truth, you don’t really have a crush on anyone in our store, do you?”

Wei Ping looked directly into the eyes of the ace, “Tell mom boldly, if it’s true, I’ll take care of them for you, even if it’s a fairy beauty!”

Hyacinth Xiaoshe had certain requirements for appearance when recruiting people, and there were several girls in the shop who are actually very good-looking.

Unexpectedly, Fang Huaining thought for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded, looking at Wei Ping with a very serious expression.

He said: “That’s right, there is one, but he* seems to have a partner. Even so, will you help me out?”

[TN: He didn’t specify the gender.]

While the other party looked at him with a strange smile on her face, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Wang Fuliang calling.

“Huaining, Huaining, there are a a lot of people in line here so I will probably be a little late. Why don’t you go to class earlier, and help me take a seat at the back. I can write the notes later. Last time I told you… Hey, wait, isn’t this Li Ting? Li Ting!”

Wei Ping had originally taken the barbecue rice to give to someone, but suddenly the ace pushed her hand away and slammed the meal in place.

Wei Ping: “?”

…

Before going to work in the afternoon, Li Ting went to Library A first. He planned to ask Liu Lei for his ID card, but Liu Lei wasn’t there, and so he couldn’t obtain the card.

Since Li Ting couldn’t borrow the book, he could only read it inside the library, his eyes flicking left and right.

“Li, Li Ting… Li Ting?”

He suddenly heard someone calling him, Li Ting turned his head, and saw Wang Fuliang waving to himself while talking on the phone in the middle of a long line to borrow books.

“It’s really you.” Wang Fuliang was surprised.

Li Ting’s eyes flickered, and his gaze surveyed the people around him, then slowly retracted.

“Did you borrow books from our school?” Wang Fuliang asked, “Do you want to return it? I will return it for you. You don’t need to line up.” Li Ting shook his head: “No need.”

Wang Fulian was very talkative: “This book, is it about computers? Are you interested in this?”

Who knew what these science and engineering men think. When they realize that the other party may be one of their own kind, the eyes they use to look at them become very strange, emitting a strong light. As if they could grow bald together*.

[TN: Bald due to stress lol]

“These books are too difficult for beginners. Who recommended them to you? If you want to get started, the two books I have here are not bad. I happen to be returning them just now.”

Wang Fuliang learned that Li Ting needed to write a dissertation, and while talking, he patted his chest and insisted on stuffing two books into his hands.

“I’m the best at choosing books. Everbody agrees… If you want to borrow books in the future, just ask me directly. Don’t believe the recommendations of other people, what messy advice. Don’t bother…”

The person on the other end of the phone who could still hear him…

Fang Huaining: “…”

Fang Huaining turning his energy to professional issues
