"Bring less and send it by courier." Cheng Che said casually, looking at Sha Jin who was holding his head and worried about hair loss, "Are you leaving too?"
Hearing this, Shajin smiled and nodded, "I still have things arranged by the company to do, we...see each other another day."
Cheng Che nodded, looked at Latio who was standing beside him with a cold face, then touched his pocket, took out a crumpled small note and stuffed it into Shajin's hand, "Here, this is my shortcut."
Shajin was silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll treat you all another day, please enjoy your trip."
At this point, Shajin turned his head to look at the consultant standing beside him, "Professor Latio, won't you leave with me?"
Latio raised his eyes lazily, "We're all going anyway, there's no difference."
Without waiting for Shajin to speak again, Cheng Che took a step forward and stood in front of Latio, staring at Shajin with his eyes downcast, "He can't leave. He is a poor little thing I picked up at the Black Tower Space Station. If you want to take him away, you have to pay for it."
Gold placer:?
A huge question mark flashed in Shajin's eyes. He looked up at Cheng Che, took a step back after a while, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Professor Latio? The poor little thing he picked up? He was originally a consultant for the company, right?"
what?
You stole his things and then sold them to him?
So arrogant?
"We also charge for the train foster care service. Look, Kafka has already paid me for the foster blade." Cheng Che took out the transaction record with Kafka from his phone and held it in front of Shajin with a serious look on his face. "We have been supporting Professor Latio for so long, providing him with food, accommodation, and psychological counseling. We even have test subjects for the Order Envoy and the Star God whenever we want to study them. We have to pay for it."
Gold Dust: ...
Gold Dust tilted his head and met Latio's steady gaze, "Seriously?"
Latio took a deep breath, pressed Cheng Che's shoulder and pushed him away, "You really... you need to charge for teaching too."
As a professor who provides home tutoring, shouldn't he be provided with food and accommodation?
"That's two different things. The deal between us is between us. This is a deal between me and Mr. Shajin." Cheng Che didn't give in and continued to block him. "If you ruin my financial situation, I'll make a fuss."
Latio: ...
Latio pressed his forehead and instantly wanted to put on a plaster headgear and shut himself up for a while.
I'm not afraid of fools or idiots, I'm just afraid of that person who has a good brain and is extremely smart but is just naughty!
Latio looked as if he couldn't bear to watch it, and turned around with a headache to continue reading.
Never mind, it’s no big deal to get cheated for such a small thing.
Sha Jin poked his head to look at Latio's back, which seemed to have a filter of heartache and grief, then retracted his gaze and looked at Cheng Che.
He was silent for a moment, then quietly picked up the snacks that the two little girls had prepared for him, and said casually, "Then let's foster him for a while longer. The cost... we'll settle it together when we get to Pinocchio."
It’s okay. Let’s see if Cheng Che can still settle the accounts after being cheated, sold out and plotted against.
Cheng Che's eyelids twitched, and after taking a deep look at the gold dust, he laughed, "Okay."
Calculate people's hearts and plan strategies.
As a prodigal son who has been influenced by his surroundings for more than ten years, he is not incapable of doing so, but...
Why make kicking a chessboard so complicated?
Chapter 578 Respect the old and love the young
"I'm so bored..."
The gray-haired girl sat in the observation car, her chin supported by her hands and her eyes were blank. "So where are our friends? Why are they not here?"
On the side, San Yue Qi was doing the same thing, looking very bored. "General Jing Yuan took the freeloader team back to handle official business. The Star Core Hunter who was staying with us is still sleeping. Sang Bo said he drank too much last night and felt uncomfortable, so he went to rest. Cheng Che and Dan Heng got off the car and went for a walk."
Xing blinked, and her golden eyes looked very lost. "Ah, how come our good family broke up..."
And Cheng Che and Dan Heng, why didn’t they take them with them when they secretly went out for a walk?
Are you afraid that she will steal someone's trash can?
"Is it over?" San Yue Qi came back to his senses, holding a comic book and flipping it open, looking carefully at the pictures and words on it, "But Cheng Che also left me a comic book. It was the plot that Uncle Yang came up with, and Cheng Che drew it himself."
star:……
Xing turned his head to look at Sanyueqi, questioning his life, "Why didn't he leave me something to pass the time?"
"Ah?" Sanyueqi looked up in surprise, looked at Xing with innocent eyes, and asked in all seriousness, "Didn't he leave a big bag of nuts for you to help peel them?"
star:……
Even sadder.
Xing held her cheek, aggrieved, "He is partial."
"Hey." Sanyueqi moved closer to Xing and gave him half of the comic book. "Let's read it together. Cheng Che said he would bring you a trash can to look through when he comes back."
Xing finally felt relieved and moved closer to Sanyueqi to look at the pattern on it.
After thinking for a moment, Xing reached out and rubbed the paper, "Cheng Che really knows a lot, he knows a little bit about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
Look at this painting. It's not just painted flat. The paint is even piled up to create thickness and a sense of three-dimensionality.
"Didn't he say that he has all these skills that sound good to others but are actually useless in life?" Sanyueqi waved his hand indifferently, and pulled the nuts next to him to start shelling. "But I just heard him and Jizi talking about twin brothers, so does Little Crow have an older brother or younger brother who is still wandering in the universe? Should we pay attention to help find him when we are exploring?"
star:……
She is always speechless today.
Xing looked at Sanyueqi with half-opened eyes, pinching a nut and pressing hard between his fingertips.
With a snap, the husk broke in two and the crumbs fell onto the table.
Xing took a deep breath, looked at Sanyue and spoke very seriously, "Of course I have to look for him. You know that Phoenix, right? I suspect he is Cheng Che's brother. After all, the two look alike, and the name Phoenix is engraved on Cheng Che's piano."
"Ah? Really?" San Yueqi's eyes widened in shock, in disbelief. "What kind of TV drama routine is this? They are twin brothers, but one is cheerful and optimistic, while the other is gloomy and crazy?"
"I hope you're not describing Cheng Che as cheerful and optimistic..." Xing muttered, suppressing her restless conscience and saying earnestly, "So we have to be more careful when we meet Phoenix in the future. We have to use friendship to influence each other. We can't see the scene of Cheng Che and Phoenix looking at each other from afar through the iron railings. How tragic it is."
San Yue Qi nodded suddenly and clenched her fists, "I understand! Don't worry, I'm very good at persuading people!"
Xing pursed her lips and looked at San Yue Qi, her voice barely audible, "As long as you are happy..."
……
Scale Abyss Realm.
A small boat was floating on the sea. The originally rough sea surface had calmed down for some reason, and the small boat was swaying slowly.
Cheng Che was half-lying against the awning, fiddling with a game on his phone, controlling a little man to jump up and down to avoid attacks.
Beside him, Xiao Qinglong closed his eyes and cleared his mind, as if he wanted to delete all the names of public service professions in his mind.
After a while, Dan Heng opened his eyes and asked, "You can't play games on the train?"
"Yes, but I want to go out and relax today." Cheng Che responded. After defeating the last little monster, he picked up the spoils skillfully, then exited the game, locked the screen and stuffed them into his pocket. He then took out a packed small cake from his bag and gave half to Dan Heng. "I also want to eat some dessert today, thick cream wrapped in fruit, the kind that is so sweet that it makes you sick."
Dan Heng glanced at the small cake in his hand, then moved his calm gaze to Cheng Che's face, "You are working out."
"Yes, so I have to make myself sick to the point of vomiting all at once, so that I won't want to eat for a while." Cheng Che answered calmly, unwrapping the paper and eating slowly, looking out at the sea, "Make the waves smaller, it's not fun to be so shaky."
Dan Heng:......
Is this how the Chiming tribe uses their secret method of controlling water?
Dan Heng casually sent out a wave of water, then sat cross-legged in the cabin and ate dessert.
Across the distant sea, the sound of children crying seemed to be heard on the coast.
Dan Heng glanced to the side and said in a muffled voice: "If you want to go to the sea, you can contact Jing Yuan and ask him to help you prepare a boat. You don't have to rob the child's boat."
The Scaled Abyss Realm is still under blockade, but there are always people coming to the Scaled Abyss Realm. Just now, they saw three or four children repairing a broken boat on the coast and preparing to adventure on the sea, so they came here to row boats.
But...
Cheng Che went up and slapped them all without any favoritism, then he ruthlessly snatched the children's boat and rowed it out himself. Those children cried so hard that their tonsils could be seen.
"I have no manners, and..." Cheng Che took a bite of the cake, looked at the semicircular teeth marks on it and thought for a long time, and finally nodded in affirmation, "Respect the old and love the young. If you respect the old, I am twenty years old, and if you love the young, I am one year older. No matter what, they have to get out of my way."
Dan Heng was silent for a moment. After eating a piece of cake, he wiped his mouth and hands, and then said coldly, "If you are worried that the children might be in danger at sea, just say so directly. There is no need to resort to such highway robbery."
Cheng Che turned his head silently and pointed at himself, "Am I the kind of person who would be so kind? I really want to play by myself."
Dan Heng turned his head to look at Cheng Che, "You are."
Cheng Che: ...
Cheng Che was silent for a moment. After taking two bites of the cake, he raised his thermos cup to suppress the greasy cream. Then he lowered his head and whispered, "I can contact Yunqi to get them out, but children are creatures...the most perfect example of curiosity killing the cat. The more you forbid them, the more rebellious they become."
Under Dan Heng's calm gaze, Cheng Che stuffed the wrapping paper into the garbage bag and put it in order. He leaned against the boat awning and sighed, "It's good now. All the children in Luofu know that there is a demon in Linyuan Realm who doesn't follow martial ethics and robs children on the road. Maybe he won't come here again in the future."
Dan Heng looked at Cheng Che quietly, and then looked away after a long while.
It’s good. At least I haven’t been crazy lately——
Before the thought could even wrap around my mind, my arm was suddenly poked.
Dan Heng's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Cheng Che with a puzzled look.
Cheng Che pointed at the endless sea, with an innocent and clean light in his pupils, "Can you make a really big whale? The kind made of water, and then slap it on the sea surface with a loud bang?"
Dan Heng:......
He took back the evaluation he had just made in his mind. Cheng Che could go crazy anytime and anywhere.
Chapter 579: Invisible, invisible.
The young man with curly hair lay on the bow and stretched out his hand to touch the calm sea water outside the boat.
A small whale condensed from sea water, only the size of a palm, was jumping in and out on the sea surface again and again following the young man's movements. The sea water hit his palm, making it wet.
Cheng Che lowered his head and watched the little whale's movements carefully. He stretched out his hand with great interest to tease the little whale to swim around. He even wanted to find a ping-pong ball for the little whale to play with.
Dan Heng watched quietly for a moment, and finally spoke up, "You can entertain yourself."
A person can play with a lifeless and unconscious little whale for a long time. Looking at his eyes, he even has a bit of excitement of a child seeing a toy. He doesn't look like a twenty-year-old at all.
Hearing this, Cheng Che looked back at Dan Heng, then continued to tease the little whale, "What else can I do if I don't find some fun for myself? But it's normal for a kid like me to play by myself for a while, right?"
"Normal." Dan Heng retracted his gaze, and unceremoniously pulled Cheng Che's backpack, shaking out the snacks inside. He leaned against the awning and whispered, "It's just that I feel that what you see in the information is different from what I saw in it."
A trace of confusion flashed through Cheng Che's eyes. He held the little whale in his arms, sat up, and looked at Dan Heng, "Am I also on the list?"
