Chapter 55: He, The Health Expert
Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng werent in a hurry to find Lin Yandong. The two of them didnt plan to enter the serial mission again any time soon, so this matter could be put aside.
For now, news of Jin Chengs return to East Cross Street hadnt spread out, so it was relatively peaceful here. After a while, Wen Xiaoming received a notice from the Ruby Bar and travelled to Zone F with a bag full of stuff to send them some warmth.
The two sides met at the Ruby Bar.
Boss, its just nice that youre back now. If you come back a little later, Ill have been dragged to a dungeon by Lily. Wen Xiaoming was still wearing a fishermans hat and flip-flops, with faded pink hair and cloth earrings. Carrying a big bag on his back, he looked like a mobile street vendor walking the runway, and as soon as his stall closed, he would fly to Paris to attend Fashion Week the day after.
Is Lilith okay? Jin Cheng asked.
Shes okay, applying face masks at home everyday. By the way, boss, she asked me to bring you a few pieces. Therere whitening and moisturising ones, which one do you want? And I also bring clothes, all of them are new.
Tang Cuo was still wondering whether this third person who always appeared in the twos conversation was actually called Lily or Lilith. After listening to Wen Xiaoming, he felt that the name really wanst at all important.
He looked at Jin Cheng Is your team the department stores beauty section?
Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows. Dont give me that expression. Do you think that when you meet her in the future, you can escape the fate of having to apply face masks? I think you should perm your hair, the hair foils looks like they suit you. Itll soften that righteous face of yours a bit.
Wen Xiaoming: I think it is a good idea.
Tang Cuo:
ButI dont think it is.
Tang Cuo never liked to do up his hair. For him, its enough to get a neat, refreshing cut, and any sophisticated style was too troublesome. He also didnt want to discuss the topic of beauty with Jin Cheng and Wen Xiaoming; it was too out of his knowledge.
Fortunately, Jin Cheng let him off and moved on to ask Wen Xiaoming about the current situation in Zone A.
Wen Xiaoming talked a lot but nothing much into details. Basically, most were just small matters and everything was generally at peace. At the end, he suddenly remembered something and said: I remember now, when I went to the game hall yesterday, I heard from someone in Zone B that Extreme Luck looks like he wants to level up to Zone A soon.
The original words from that watermelon-eating spectator [chi gua qunzhong], a new vocab that has frequently appeared on the Chinese Internet in recent years. It refers to an onlooker who just watches from the side with no intention to actually participate in the event, and is usually oblivious of the facts surrounding the event. Basically a gossipy bystander.in Zone B were Extreme Luck is really lucky. Everyone in Zone A is now in jail, and those who have been punished back to Zone F are now stuck in Zone F. The rest are those who dont often engage in troubles like Lin Yandong. Zone A is now in great harmony! Its a good time to enter Zone A, everything will go smoothly for him. By the time that Blacklist lunatic Jin Cheng returns, hell already have a firm foothold. Hes really 66666!
Why was Extreme Luck Yu Yiyi on Mr. Crows Blacklist? This was a mystery of Yong Ye City that no one had yet to solve. With his wicked luck, it was clear that he should be Mr. Crows favourite son instead.
Wen Xiaoming said earnestly: I kind of want to be friends with him.
Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows: He was also hanging around East Cross Street that day. He wanted to kill me, and you want to be friends with him?
But didnt he make no moves and just leave at the end? I think we still have a chance to be friends. Boss, am I right? Our groups luck is too bad now, we urgently need to be neutralised.
What did you just say?
Wen Xiaoming immediately shut up and obediently shook his head.
He really couldnt control his own mouth and had to spill whatever was on his mind, but what he said was actually true. Lets look at the few members of their team. Their boss was No.1 on the Blacklist, and their pretty-much-confirmed new member Tang Cuo was also on the Blacklist with an absolute certainty of never getting out, not to mention their evil demoness Lily. Wen Xiaoming, their little background support member, seriously had no way to improve the quality of their luck.
After meeting Tang Cuo some time ago, he even wanted to create a good luck simulator, similar to a good luck buff, but to no ones surprise, he failed miserably.
However, he believed that one day he would succeed. This was the confidence of an equipment master.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Before he left, Jin Cheng told him: Look for an opportunity to meet Lin Yandong and tell him that I need to talk to him. But as to what I want to talk about, well have to wait till the meeting.
Wen Xiaoming nodded and headed back home.
Jin Cheng, however, didnt know this, even though he knew a little about Tang Cuos past. Seeing an empty trolley in front of him, he reached out his hand and pushed it towards Tang Cuo: Push it for me.
Tang Cuo tilted his head slightly: ?
Conveniently, Jin Cheng grabbed a few coasters from the shelf and put them into the trolley, then a glass jug, a toothbrush, and a bunch of cute animal-shaped hooks.
Tang Cuo silently pushed the trolley behind him. He looked left and right, and after a long time, he still didnt know what he needed to buy. He simply had no idea where Jin Chengs desire for shopping came from, but he didnt want to comment until
Jin Cheng picked up a multi-purpose health kettle.
I dont want this. Tang Cuo said firmly.
Who says I buy it for you? This is for me. Jin Cheng leaned on the other end of the trolley, looked at him amusedly and added a twist at the end: I buy it to cook for you.
I refuse.
I refuse your refusal.
Jin Cheng, a health expert who never maintained his own health but wanted to force others to stay healthy.
The two sides kept on like this in the Electronics section, with Jin Cheng insisting on buying but Tang Cuo insisting on not buying. Two tall, handsome guys with long legs stood in the middle of the isle, attracting plenty of stares from passersby.
In the end, this war without firepower ended with Tang Cuo agreeing to compromise, because whoever paid had the final say.
Jin Cheng felt that Tang Cuos expression at the moment was particularly interesting, like a little tiger who was obviously fierce yet put on a weary face, giving up resisting and simply turning into a cat.
If you touch him, maybe hell scratch you with his paws.
Super fierce.
Thinking about it, Jin Cheng couldnt help but raise the corners of his mouth. Tang Cuo glanced at him, thinking that he was really odd today, and that he must be contemplating something evil.
So he pushed the trolley faster and walked in front.
Jin Cheng leisurely followed behind, watching Tang Cuos back. Slowly he walked, and slowly, the complication in his heart was getting more complicated.
An hour later, the two returned with two big bags full of stuff.
Tang Cuo bought a lot of chocolate beans, which slightly diluted his annoyance over the health kettle. On the way back, he ate hot and sour noodles, whose hot and sour sensation made him feel both pleased and contented.
Back in the room, the moment Tang Cuo entered the door, the bell suddenly rang.
Ding!
Sir, you have an express delivery package, please come to check and take it!
Hearing this, Tang Cuo couldnt help thinking of the express fee scam he got last time, and he really didnt want to be scammed again. But this time, Jin Cheng heard the sound too and was very curious: Who sent it to you?
Tang Cuo was expressionless: Maybe my enemy sent me knives.
Jin Cheng responded with a smile.
You can use this trick on others, but not on me.
