"Ahhh, Mommy, I want to go home!"
This time, not only was Xigua stunned, but Zhang Mingyu was also surprised.
Cheng Dahua was having a great time whipping Yuan Gui, who was whipped up and down and then whipped up again. Cheng Dahua could even whip Yuan Gui out like a handkerchief in a folk dance and then spin him back on his own.
"Awooooo!"
This is so much fun!
"Stop smoking! Stop smoking!" Yuan Liandan looked at Yuan Gui, who wouldn't stop on the battle platform, with a look of utter despair. "I surrender!"
"Buzz—"
The battle platform buzzed.
"The match is over. Winner: Cheng Anlang."
Cheng Anlang quickly shouted to stop Cheng Dahua: "Dahua! Stop playing!"
"Whoosh—"
Cheng Dahua took one last drag and reluctantly put the leaf down.
"Aww..."
It hasn't had enough fun yet.
Yuan Gui spun for a few more seconds before finally coming to a slow stop.
The protective shield of the battle platform flickered a few times, and the four laser beams slowly disappeared into the void.
Cheng Anlang and Yuan Liandan quickly ran onto the battle platform.
Cheng Anlang picked up Cheng Dahua and looked her over from left to right, up to down: "Luckily, she wasn't blown flat, she's still a round little flower."
"Aww..."
Cheng Dahua tilted the flowerpot upside down.
The bottom of the flowerpot is worn down.
Cheng Anlang looked at the bottom of the basin. There were indeed some scratches, but they weren't serious. He comforted him, "It's okay, no one can see it. It's just a little bit, don't worry about it."
"Aww!"
Yuan Gui slowly emerged from its shell. Yuan Liandan nervously picked it up to examine the shell. He carefully stroked the shell, which remained smooth and hard, gleaming with a fine sheen.
Yuan Liandan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, your tortoise shell is still very beautiful."
Yuan Liandan put Yuan Gui back into his sea of consciousness, and chatted with Cheng Anlang for a few more minutes. He originally wanted to talk more, but Cheng Anlang had class, so they ended the conversation in a few words.
Cheng Anlang originally wanted to avoid Zhang Mingyu, but Cheng Dahua kept pushing towards Zhang Mingyu, and Zhang Mingyu even waved to him. Cheng Anlang could only walk towards Zhang Mingyu under the curious gazes of everyone.
"How come they're together again?"
"What is Zhang Mingyu doing? Going to the grassroots level to care for impoverished students?"
"Something feels off, something's not right..."
They walked shoulder to shoulder down the road, and Cheng Anlang could catch glimpses of people secretly taking pictures of each other out of the corner of his eye.
Zhang Mingyu laughed and said, "Da Hua always manages to give people new surprises."
"Aww!"
Of course, I'm the best!
Zhang Mingyu paused for a moment, then asked, "How's the ranking match going?"
Cheng Anlang: "It's...it's alright. A few more games and I'll be able to challenge for a higher rank."
Zhang Mingyu nodded: "Your speed is good. If you have any trouble in the challenge, you can come to me."
Cheng Anlang: Here we go again... If I ask you to join the challenge, I'll crush the other side...
However, all Cheng Anlang could say was, "Yes, I know..."
Zhang Mingyu made small talk, and Cheng Anlang, seeing that the conversation was about to end and he had to go to class, watched the time.
At this moment, Cheng Dahua suddenly stretched out a leaf and hooked it around Zhang Mingyu.
"Aww!"
Zhang Mingyu: "?"
Cheng Anlang instantly understood what Cheng Dahua was thinking.
Zhang Mingyu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"That...it is..."
Cheng Anlang found it incredibly difficult to speak. Cheng Dahua nudged him forcefully, and Cheng Anlang paused, then lowered his head and whispered to Cheng Dahua, "I'll take you to eat next time, okay? Let go..."
Although the voice was soft, Zhang Mingyu still heard it. He immediately understood and chuckled twice, saying, "Give me the fish tank first. I'll treat you to it when you're done with your challenge and have some free time, as a thank you gift for the medicine."
Cheng Anlang was utterly humiliated by Cheng Dahua. He felt that Zhang Mingyu's reason for treating them was completely untenable, since the medicine had already been replaced with the flowerpots that followed.
Cheng Anlang: "No need to invite me... just go ahead..."
