"So, she really likes me?"
Ye Cheng took a deep puff of the ice tea-flavored cigarette in his hand, patted his big belly, and exhaled.
He pinched the cigarette butt between his index finger and thumb, making an OK sign. His face was like a funny emoji with a big belly, just like those on the internet.
Lin Tianxiong: "..."
So, you've been oblivious all this time?
Lin Tianxiong twitched the corner of his mouth. Anyway, he wouldn't believe Ye Cheng's words.
Ye Cheng was as smart as a monkey. How could he not know these things?
Of course, it was also possible that Ye Cheng was just a bit dense in this regard. After all, he had once said something as strange as "wild lighter". It seemed that no matter how strange things he said, people could get used to it.
Ye Cheng held the cigarette between his lips, looking cool and cocky. He squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle Lin, don't think that just because you said that, you can get me to do things for you without paying. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly."
"I still remember that Dahuang snatched a pack of crispy noodles from me 1178 days ago. But I'm not going to dwell on it. When it was having a tryst with Xiao Bai from the next box, I tipped off Xiao Hei. So, it's even."
Lin Tianxiong: "???"
He understood every single word, but why couldn't he make sense of it?
"Xiaocheng, who is this Xiao Bai you mentioned? Is it a dog?" Lin Tianxiong tried to follow Ye Cheng's train of thought and caught some keywords like "tryst" and "tip - off".
Ye Cheng took another deep puff, showing Lin Tianxiong what super - strong lung capacity was.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the cigarette at the tip burned rapidly. The red burning trace of the tobacco was like a beautiful painting, seemingly shining.
One puff, one cigarette!
Ye Cheng's big belly seemed to have grown even bigger. After finishing the cigarette, he threw it aside and stepped on it. Then he started to "blow smoke rings" like a little goldfish. One smoke ring after another appeared.
Big smoke rings encircled small ones, and small ones encircled even smaller ones... There was no numerical skill involved, only pure technique!
Ye Cheng had learned this on the internet. This was his first attempt, and he felt the effect was quite good. He was happy to have gained another cool little skill.
Lin Tianxiong: "???"
The conversation continued.
"Yeah, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei are a very loving and exemplary couple. They live on the street where I used to rent a house. You can see them up and down the street."
"What a pity. Dahuang, no, it was that scumbag Mengde who stole Xiao Bai's heart. As a friend, I originally wanted to turn a blind eye. But since it ate an extra pack of crispy noodles of mine, I had to give it a hard time."
Lin Tianxiong: "???"
So, that's how Dahuang got the name Mengde... Cao Mengde?
You're really a genius!
Leaving aside why a dog would have such a strange name, just the fact that you betrayed your friend over a pack of crispy noodles is unrivaled.
Do you mean that just because of a pack of crispy noodles, you were going to give your best friend a hard time?
Are you still human?
"Although it was wrong, it has paid the corresponding price. Since I'm a soft - hearted person, I've forgiven it. I can't even remember that it was 1178 days ago."
Ye Cheng kept blowing smoke rings. Lin Tianxiong was just staring blankly.
Wait, where were they in the conversation? Smoke rings? No. Dahuang? No...
This was Ye Cheng's terrifying part. No matter how strong - willed a person was, as long as they spent some time with Ye Cheng, they would be affected to some extent.
Before you knew it, you'd be led astray by Ye Cheng. They were supposed to be talking about Lin Baizhi, but now they were talking about Dahuang.
It took Lin Tianxiong a while to come to his senses. He coughed twice and said, "Cough, don't worry, Xiaocheng. I know the rules."
"Yeah, I still like to talk to people like you, Uncle Lin, who understand things." Ye Cheng nodded and then kept blowing smoke rings, getting more and more proficient.
"The remittance and donations for the orphanage this year are already done. The detailed data is still with me. Xiaocheng, when do you think it's convenient for you to come and get it?"
Lin Tianxiong said with a smile.
Of course, he also had his own motives. The data was very important. He was going to give Ye Cheng the original copy, so he couldn't send it by express. If it was lost, it would be a disaster.
Although it was the digital age and there were ways to trace it even if it was lost, after all, it was the original, and the feelings invested over the years couldn't be quantified.
"Okay, then tomorrow." Ye Cheng nodded.
Blowing smoke rings, blowing smoke rings, blowing smoke rings...
As for why it was tomorrow instead of now, the reason was simple. He couldn't leave now. He had to go back with the young lady. Otherwise, he'd be beaten to a pulp by her.
"Okay, then. I'll get the stuff ready for you today. Call me before you come tomorrow."
"By the way, Xiaocheng, although it's a bit late, I still want to ask. Why do you have to make things so complicated?" Lin Tianxiong asked puzzledly.
Ye Cheng blinked his eyes and blew two consecutive smoke rings that looked like "big sausage wrapped in small sausage". "Is it complicated?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Tianxiong counter - asked.
"Xiaocheng, I know you're very capable, and I respect you. But sometimes, you need to know how to make good use of the resources around you. One person's strength is limited after all. It's not a shame to ask for help from those around you."
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "Yeah, I was so angry when I watched it. Hong Kai was so useless. He kept inserting cards one by one slowly and always said, 'Senior, lend me your power, lend me your power'.
"In my opinion, just insert the cards of the Four Mysterious Ultramen. As long as Orb A5 can withstand it, it'll be the number one among the new - generation Ultramen. Of course, if it can't, then it's another story..."
Ye Cheng was seriously calculating the power ranking of the new - generation Ultramen. He was really into the Orb Ascender, no, it should be Orb A5.
As long as it doesn't get blown up, it'll be the monster that dies.
You're really getting on my nerves now!
Lin Tianxiong: "..."
Lin Tianxiong was still wondering who Hong Kai was and which big shot he was in Dahai City. Then Ye Cheng mentioned the Four Mysterious Ultramen, and he couldn't hold it in anymore. It's Ultraman, right?
Lin Tianxiong twitched the corner of his mouth. He felt that sometimes he was really naive, thinking that he could get useful information from Ye Cheng so easily.
If it were that simple, his daughter would have succeeded long ago. Why would she be hiding in her room crying secretly at night?
"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. I won't say more. Just let me know if you need any help." Lin Tianxiong said.
He then recalled the scene in the private room before.
Somehow, there was a tinge of emotion welling up.
Although he had realized long ago that Ye Cheng would one day make it big, he never expected it to happen in such a way.
The forces he could mobilize around him had reached an incredibly terrifying level. To put it bluntly, Ye Cheng could now mobilize more people than he could.
Those from the Shen family, the Du family, and it seemed... also the Tang family?
As for Tang Yuyao, Lin Tianxiong wasn't quite sure. After all, there was a generation gap between them, and they also differed greatly in age. Tang Yuyao was of the same generation as him.
But if it wasn't the case, why did he just have that feeling...
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin Tianxiong saw someone hiding in the green belt not far away... it was his daughter.
Lin Tianxiong: "..."
Although there was some distance, as a father, he still recognized his daughter at a glance. Now, she was cowering behind the flower bed, occasionally sticking out half of her head to look this way and pricking up her ears.
She was afraid of missing any crucial information.
Alas... love really could make a person timid and inferior.
Their daughter was already so outstanding, yet she still... Since that was the case, he, as a father, couldn't just sit back and do nothing!
He had to make some substantial efforts for his daughter!
"Xiaocheng, when did you know that Baizhi likes you?" Lin Tianxiong deliberately raised his voice so that his timid daughter hiding not far away could hear.
Not far away, the green belt where Lin Baizhi was hiding trembled. It was hard to tell if it was out of excitement or something else...
"Ouch... let me think about it. I didn't expect Uncle Lin. You don't seem to be well - educated or smart, yet you can ask such a profound question."
Ye Cheng rubbed his smooth chin and began to ponder over the question thrown by Lin Tianxiong.
Lin Tianxiong: "..."
Not well - educated and not smart?
It couldn't be. He was also a high - achiever back then... Of course, his college entrance examination scores back then were nothing compared to Ye Cheng's. In such a comparison, he really did seem not so smart.
In the green belt, Lin Baizhi had a tree leaf on her head. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with caution and evasion. She summoned up her courage and poked her head out from the green belt.
At this moment, she no longer had the urge to kill her old father.
Yes, that's right. Dad, come on and ask more...
The waiting time was a bit too long. Ye Cheng fished out another cigarette from his trouser pocket, put it in his mouth, and then... blew bubbles, blew bubbles, blew bubbles.
Lin Tianxiong: "..."
Lin Baizhi: Brother looks so cool when he smokes...
One father and one daughter, one was silent, and the other was daydreaming. Ye Cheng performed a high - difficulty "Nine - turn Large Intestine" smoke ring, using up an entire pack of cigarettes to complete it.
"I remembered. It should be when she spat at me!" Ye Cheng pondered, and then a big light bulb seemed to appear above his head.
Lin Tianxiong: "???"
Lin Baizhi: "???"
