This is clearly sarcastic.
Zhou Xuan was stunned. He had been away from here for more than a year. Why was A Peng still asking him to come to work?
"Ah Peng, what did you say? I'm about to go to work?" Zhou Xuan didn't understand why Ah Peng would say that. He had been gone for more than a year, so why would Ah Peng say that?
There was something else that Zhou Xuan also found strange, but before he could say anything, Wei Xiaoyu pulled him into the amusement park, and luckily, A Peng didn't stop them.
Ah Peng stared at Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu's retreating figures, muttering resentfully, "Damn it, that country bumpkin got incredibly lucky, he managed to seduce such a beautiful woman!"
Wei Xiaoyu dragged Zhou Xuan far away from the amusement park's safety line before whispering to him, "Zhou Xuan, have you noticed? I find it really strange. It's only the middle of January, the dead of winter, how come it's so hot?"
Zhou Xuan looked up at the sky. The sun was blazing overhead, making the earth seem to be smoking. Looking out, the scene seemed to float.
The angle of the sun and the temperature are only seen in June. Could it be that the Nine Dragon Cauldron not only teleported them thousands of miles away, but also took them from winter to summer?
Both of them were completely bewildered. Then they saw the beach of the amusement park, a sea of red and green, with nothing but white thighs and breasts swaying in front of them. Men, women, and children were screaming and splashing around in the shallow water. It was a scene of a hot summer day!
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Wei Xiaoyu next to him was even more dumbfounded. This Nine Dragon Cauldron is too awesome.
Turning around, Zhou Xuan saw his former colleague Zhang Chong sitting under a parasol, wearing sunglasses and staring at the beach. Zhou Xuan was surprised. Zhang Chong had quit his job the day before he left the amusement park last year because his father had died and he was going home to handle the funeral. He hadn't seen him come back since. Why was he back now?
Zhang Chong, shirtless and wearing only beach shorts, froze the moment his eyes fell on Wei Xiaoyu, clearly stunned by her beauty. He then took off his sunglasses and looked at her again, his mouth agape in disbelief.
Zhou Xuan stepped forward, patted Zhang Chong on the shoulder, and asked, "Zhang Chong, why are you back again?"
Zhang Chong casually replied, "What do you mean by coming back or not?"
Wei Xiaoyu was dressed in an incongruous way, wearing winter casual clothes on such a hot day. She couldn't stand the heat anymore, so she turned to Zhou Xuan and said, "Zhou Xuan, I want to go swimming!"
When Zhang Chong heard Wei Xiaoyu say these words to Zhou Xuan, he was extremely surprised. After a moment of stunned silence, he whispered to Zhou Xuan, "Zhou Xuan, you know him?"
Zhou Xuan nodded and replied, "I know!" Then he asked Zhang Chong, "Zhang Chong, what's the date today?"
"June 10th, what for?" Zhang Chong blurted out, but then suddenly felt something was off. "Zhou Xuan, when did you get such a beautiful friend? We're together every day and you've never mentioned her. You've been keeping a low profile!"
Zhang Chong said that, but the implication was clear: he was just guessing that it was a friend or relative of Zhou Xuan, and definitely not his girlfriend.
Wei Xiaoyu was really hot. The weather was already hot, and wearing such thick clothes made it even hotter. She wiped her sweat and said to Zhou Xuan, "Zhou Xuan, I want to go swimming. You... go over there and buy me a swimsuit!"
Wei Xiaoyu had no money on her and her bag was missing. She guessed it must have been lost when Zhou Xuan's Nine Dragon Cauldron exhibited unusual behavior. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she simply asked Zhou Xuan to buy it for her.
The amusement park has a special place to sell these swimming supplies. Zhou Xuan responded and then went to the company's sales store to buy them. The store was about 100 meters away from the beach.
The same chubby Sister Lin was in the shop. As soon as she saw Zhou Xuan, she smiled and asked, "Little Zhou, you still have half an hour before work starts. Why are you out so early? This is a rare sight. You usually only show up right on time!"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and pointed to the women's swimsuits, saying, "Big sister, give me one of those green women's swimsuits. How much do you want?"
"Two hundred and seventy-six. What, why do you need a women's swimsuit?" Sister Lin asked as she picked it up. Zhou Xuan is a grown man, why would he buy a women's swimsuit?
“I bought it for a friend, sister…” Zhou Xuan was just saying when he suddenly noticed the red electronic display on the wall clock showing the date: “July 31, 2009, June 10 in the lunar calendar, 2:01 PM,” and he was taken aback!
The electronic display is definitely messed up!
"Big sister, the dates on your electronic monitors are all messed up, why don't you fix them?" Zhou Xuan asked after a moment of surprise.
Sister Lin chuckled and said, "Little Zhou, you're really good at joking. Why did things get so messed up? I remember clearly, my son registered on the 30th, just yesterday. I think you're just overthinking things. Here, swimsuit, 276 yuan!" She handed him the swimsuit.
Zhou Xuan took the swimsuit, still in a daze. Then he reached into his pocket, only to realize he had no wallet. Where would he get the money to pay? After a pause, he said, "Big sister, please remember this, I'll pay you later, okay? I don't have any money on me!"
"Okay, we're all from the same company, I'm not afraid you'll leave, I'll remember that!" Sister Lin waved her hand and then ignored him, because there were too many tourists buying things.
Zhou Xuan walked blankly towards the beach, holding her swimsuit.
Over there, after Zhou Xuan left, Zhang Chong asked Wei Xiaoyu, "Miss, what is your relationship with Zhou Xuan?"
Wei Xiaoyu would never normally pay attention to a lecherous man like Zhang Chong, but recently she's been in a good mood and her personality has changed a lot since she's been with Zhou Xuan. She's become much gentler, and since Zhang Chong knows Zhou Xuan, he naturally won't be violent towards her.
“Zhou Xuan is my boyfriend!” Wei Xiaoyu turned her head to look at Zhou Xuan, who was going to buy her a swimsuit, and said with a smile.
"..." Zhang Chong was so stunned he could hardly believe his ears. After a long pause, he stared wide-eyed and asked, "Are you serious? Miss, do you really know Zhou Xuan? He's just a country bumpkin, he's broke. Don't be fooled!"
Wei Xiaoyu snorted, her expression turning cold immediately. It seemed this person wasn't Zhou Xuan's friend either; if they were, they wouldn't say such things.
He immediately retorted coldly, "So what if you're from the countryside? Do you think you're rich? If you were rich, why would you be working as a lifeguard here?"
Zhang Chong was immediately speechless after being choked by Wei Xiaoyu's words, feeling embarrassed. Wei Xiaoyu's words were true; Zhang Chong was also from the countryside, and he wasn't much better off than Zhou Xuan.
At this moment, the other lifeguards and diving instructors came over. When they heard that it was Zhou Xuan's girlfriend, and that Wei Xiaoyu herself had said it, they were far more shocked than if Zhou Xuan had said it himself. In addition, Wei Xiaoyu was so beautiful, excessively beautiful, that they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. They came over for two reasons: first, to see Wei Xiaoyu's beauty, and second, to try to get some secrets out of her. If they could get them out of her, they wouldn't be so polite.
Those with these thoughts were especially from the diving department, whose monthly salary was several times higher than that of Zhou Xuan and the other lifeguards. If we were to talk about conditions, Zhou Xuan would be considered one of the lowest earners among them.
Just as they were trying to get information out of Wei Xiaoyu, Zhou Xuan arrived, handed her the swimsuit, and pointed to a building on the side, saying, "Over there, that's the changing and shower area!"
Wei Xiaoyu took the swimsuit, then smiled sweetly at Zhou Xuan and said softly, "Then I'll go!"
Wei Xiaoyu's smile was almost bewitching; the entire group of men were dizzy and disoriented until Wei Xiaoyu's figure disappeared into the shower area, at which point they finally looked away.
Immediately, everyone started asking questions all at once.
"Zhou Xuan, you're really something! Where did you find such a beautiful girlfriend?"
"Zhou Xuan...did you impersonate some big boss to scam him?"
"I think this girl isn't an ordinary person. She's quite different from the pretty girls in the countryside. She has a very good temperament..."
Of course she's great! What kind of family did she grow up in? Besides, Wei Xiaoyu is now at the regimental level or above, an officer, and her personality is much better now. If it were before, if these guys were surrounding her and gossiping like this, she would probably have beaten a whole bunch of them up in a few punches and kicks!
Zhou Xuan doesn't care about any of that now. What he cares about is figuring out the current date and time. Is it really as Sister Lin saw? The Nine Dragon Cauldron has been moved here, leaving him and Wei Xiaoyu confused!
