Chapter 425 - Lets Go Shark Hunting
Beauty and the Bodyguard
âGood opportunity? Whatâs so good about planting trees?â Pinliang didnât quite understand what Xiaofu was trying to get at.
âLiang Bro, think about it! You could get a tree model and etch Chu Mengyaoâs name on there! Thatâll please her for sure, itâs what girls like! Flourishes!â Xiaofu said. âJust like in that movie The Return of the Condor Heroes, when Guo Xiang gave Hou Yangguo fireworks as a birthday present! It made her so happy she married him!â
âDid they marry? I remember Guo Xiang becoming a monk?â Pinliang blinked.
âUh⦠Maybe he did become a monk, I donât remember. Maybe Iâm thinking of the wrong movieâ¦â Xiaofu said, embarrassed. âBut I think becoming a monk is for the sake of love, too- anyway, this tacticâs gonna work for sure!â
âYouâre telling me to give her fireworks?â Pinliang asked.
âYeah, Liang Bro- havenât you heard that itâs never night with fireworks?? Weâll just give those to Chu Mengyao!â Xiaofu suggested.
âYes, weâll do that! Iâll go buy a sapling!â Pinliang found the idea to be a lot simpler and better than writing a letter in blood. At the very least lighting up the night with fireworks didnât involve self-mutilation.
âThe sapling needs to be special- if itâs the same as everybody elseâs it wonât look special!â Xiaofu said.
âRight, Iâll do some research and get an imported sapling later.â Pinliang was getting excited himself- Xiaofu had finally provided a useful suggestion.
âLiang Bro, do we need to tell this to lil sis Xiaoxiao? Sheâs the big sis boss of our class now⦠We might need to mention something this huge to her beforehand.â Xiaofu reminded.
âThatâs right, we do need to mention this. Itâd be bad if it conflicts with some plan lil sis Xiaoxiao thought up against Lin Yi.â
Pinliang asked Xiaoxiao out to a corner of the field after school, thinking of telling her about Xiaofuâs suggestion before making the preparations.
Xiaoxiao listened to Xiaofuâs explanation patiently, but wasnât too interested in whether Pinliang was chasing Mengyao or not. Her target was Lin Yi.
âIs that it? What does that have to do with me?â Xiaoxiao frowned. âI thought you guys came up with something to humiliate Lin Yi with!â
âHumiliate Lin Yi⦠Lil sis Xiaoxiao, didnât you want to punish him? How come itâs just humiliating him now?â Pinliang blinked. Heâd assumed that she had some serious beef to pick with Lin Yi, but that didnât seem like that case.
âWhy do you care what I want?â Xiaoxiao hmphed. âI got humiliated so bad today, so I need to pay him back the same way!â
âUh⦠If thatâs all then I actually have an ideaâ¦â Xiaofuâs eyes lit up.
âWhat kind of strategy is that?â Xiaoxiao wondered if this dog headed general could come up with something insightful this time.
âWeâre going for flair and impact, right? So weâll be needing fireworks and everything. Weâll give you some firecrackers, and you can hang them on Lin Yiâs butt, light it up, and⦠Heh heh, itâs as humiliating as it gets with the showâs from Lin Yiâs butt!â Xiaofu wasnât good at much, but he was pretty competent when it came to petty tricks.
âOh?â Xiaoxiao considered the possibility carefully. If all went well, then it was actually a pretty good plan. Hanging firecrackers on Lin Yiâs butt without getting discovered, and when Pinliang lit up the fireworks she could ignite those firecrackers, making it look like heâd gotten hit by some of the fireworks⦠Even if Lin Yi wanted revenge afterwards he wouldnât have any evidence to go on!
âLil sis Xiaoxiao, I like Xiaofuâs idea!â Pinliang was full of hate towards Lin Yi, so humiliating Lin Yi was something heâd definitely cooperate with Xiaoxiao on.
âUh⦠Let me think about it first.â Xiaoxiao wasnât as impulsive as Pinliang was- she needed to properly look into this and see how likely of a success itâd be.
âYao Yao, are we going sapling-planting tomorrow too?â Yushu was pretty excited for the event tomorrow. To tell the truth, she always looked forward to things as long as they were fresh and interesting.
âOf course we are. Years and years after our graduation, when weâve gotten married, weâd be able to bring out children back here and tell them their mothers came to this school. Itâll be really educational!â Mengyao nodded, all serious.
âOh, would our children have the same father then?â Yushu asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShu!!â Mengyao glared- she wanted to pry Yushuâs head open and see what special ingredient was mixed up in that structure. How could she so naturally turn something so serious into a joke?!
âHm?â Yushu blinked.
âOpen your mouth.â Mengyao ordered.
âNo! Never.â Yushu shook her head.
âWhy?â Mengyao blinked. Yushu had always been pretty obedient.
âYouâd pull my tongue. It hurts.â Yushu said,
âWhy do you keep saying that if you know itâd hurt, then?â Mengyao hmphed.
âThen I wonât talk about that anymore.â Yushu promised.
âThatâs what you always say! It never ends, youâll just do it again next time! The time after next time, when will it end?â Mengyao didnât believe Yushu anymore.
âYao Yao, the original saying is day after day, when would it end?â Yushu corrected.
âOh. Day, then. Itâs the same, who care- Shu! Youâre changing the subject again!â Mengyao didnât know what to say- Yushu almost got away again.
âHehâ¦â Yushu stuck her tongue out. âArenât we going to do some research? We need to go buy some saplings!â
âFine thenâ¦â Mengyao decided to forgive Yushu for now. Dealing with a best friend like this required an open heart- she needed to be the better woman and take a step back! Otherwise, sheâd die from frustration. âGo tell Lin Yi to follow us in his car. We canât put small trees in our car.â
âAlrighty! Shield Brooo- Shield Brooo!!â Yushu called out loudly.
Lin Yi had went back into his room after seeing Yushu and Mengyao arguing- heâd gotten used to the twoâs behaviors already. He came walking out his room after Yushuâs summons. âWhat?â
âShield Bro, I wanna eat shark meat again!â Yushu said.
Mengyao almost knocked her head on her sofa and tripped over- werenât they just talking about saplings?? Why was Yushu talking about shark meat?
âOh, they donât sell it in the markets. You wanna go catch one yourself?â Lin Yi was speechless- shark meat wasnât good at all, so how come this Miss Chen liked eating stuff like that so much?
âOh, oh! Sure! Yao Yao, letâs go to the sea and hunt for some sharks, okay?â Yushu suggested.
