Ordinary people, or rather, normal folks, would choose a sowhat respectable place for social interactions.
Like a tea house, a coffee shop, or just simply arranging a al.
If nothing else, there’s always the budget-friendly bubble tea shops popular with the young crowd.
Not that it has to be luxurious, but at least it should look like an official venue.
Holess people don’t have such concerns with socializing—they just find a curb, sit down, and start right there.
Cheng Daqi wasn’t your average holess person; he chose to et Kernor at the library entrance.
The main reason was that he needed to charge his devices, and even without Sani reminding him, he would have co on his own.
Without power, it’s like losing a phone, and for a holess person, losing a phone is like an Arab losing Jerusalem.
The Black girl and Cheng Daqi sat opposite each other inside the library.
She didn’t speak, just slightly raised her eyes to look at the neighbor sitting across from her.
Cheng Daqi was holding a book on Arica’s laws, burying his head in it and studying hard.
Oh, quite the diligent one.
Recalling the photography techniques Cheng Daqi had shared with her today, Sani lifted her phone.
Leaning slightly to the right, she followed the left-side photography technique Cheng Daqi had taught her and sneakily took a photo of the neighbor engrossed in reading.
Looking at the photo in her album, Sani’s smile was a bit mischievous.
In the picture, only Cheng Daqi’s head popped out.
She then lowered the angle slightly, allowing the cara lens to be closer to the table surface, and took a sowhat low-angle shot.
‘Buzz!’
Startled by the vibration of Cheng Daqi’s phone, Sani guiltily put away her phone and sat up straight with a serious deanor, yet her gaze remained fixed on her neighbor.
Unaware of what the Black girl had just done to him, Cheng Daqi received a ssage from Kernor.
“Sani, they’re here.
Are you ready for the first shoot?”
He looked up, asked the Black girl, reminded her to get prepared, and started packing up his stuff.
“Ah?
Of course, of course.”
Sani’s reaction was a bit too strong, causing so people in the library to even look over discontentedly.
“Why does your voice sound so nervous?”
Cheng Daqi was a bit confused—sister, it’s just shooting a video.
Is it really necessary to react so strongly?
Of course, Sani couldn’t ntion her recent secret photography; her mind was quick, and she responded imdiately.
“Nothing, just the thought of seeing that jerk Kernor again freaks out a bit.”
Sani didn’t understand Cheng Daqi’s inexplicable interest in Kernor.
The guy was a detestable black dude, but her neighbor seed to think highly of him.
Cheng Daqi’s motions paused as he packed, and he pursed his lips and gave a helpless smile.
“Then we won’t et him.
To , your friendship is far more important than his.”
Fortunately, Kernor couldn’t hear Cheng Daqi’s words; otherwise, he really would have turned into a Joker in front of his old pal.
Cheng Daqi’s response didn’t show any hesitation; he did value Kernor’s innate ability with abstract networking greatly.
This black guy indeed had sincerity.
However, compared to Sani, Kernor was ultimately just a potential partner in his mind.
Sani felt a bit overwheld that her words led Cheng Daqi to forego the eting with Kernor.
You consider to be of much greater importance?
Is this like a confession?
Should I accept him?
But I’m still underage…
Forget it, maybe I should just say yes?
The thoughts of a young girl are so capricious; in just a matter of seconds, nurous thoughts had co and gone in the Black girl’s mind.
“So we’re not seeing him?”
The neighbor’s question pulled Sani back from her personal thoughts, making her realize that she was overthinking.
Cheng Daqi clearly said ‘your friendship is far more important than his’, yet she mistook it for a confession.
Now the choice to et or not et Kernor was in Sani’s hands; she didn’t hesitate and directly answered.
“Of course we’ll see him.”
Sani’s thoughts were clear, and her brain was incredibly efficient; she had taken every aspect into consideration.
“If you enjoy being friends with him, then be friends.”
“Having one more male friend ans you have one less chance to deal with those bitches.”
“Pretty good.”
Moreover, Cheng Daqi had also said yesterday that he was going to arrange a job for Kernor.
She didn’t know the details of that either, so she decided to go along with Cheng Daqi’s plans.
If one day that black dude caused trouble for the two of them, Sani still carried a knife with her.
Outside the library, Scott was already growing impatient.
Being called by a fool of a friend to introduce a job was fine.
But that fool of a friend was himself a vagabond, and the person he ntioned who could introduce the job was also a vagabond.
This was simply outrageous.
As a bona fide veteran who had survived the battlefield, Scott had nothing but contempt for swindlers who only knew how to cheat people.
It was such swindlers who ruined Arica!
Kernor’s words hadn’t persuaded him; Scott wasn’t here for the so-called job introduction.
He just wanted to teach that ‘kung fu master’ a severe lesson.
He didn’t believe Cheng Daqi had even a speck of real ability; he was just a con man.
et him, teach him a lesson, and then leave with his foolish friend.
That was all.
Scott had imagined too much, and in his subconscious, Cheng Daqi, whom he hadn’t yet t, was already his adversary.
Therefore, he asked Kernor a question that left him baffled.
“Kernor, he’s not chickening out, is he?”
“Huh?”
“Hey, you two, Kernor, is this the friend you wanted to introduce to ?”
Their conversation was tightly sequenced, one line following the next.
It was deliberate on Cheng Daqi’s part, creating ambiance through coincidences and forging connections through emotions.
It was the sa tactic he had used with Temir.
Even though he had reached a preliminary understanding for in-depth cooperation with Kernor, maintaining the relationship still required walking on thin ice.
“Chan, this is Scott, my best friend.
I thought…”
Kernor’s face was so dark that it was hard to discern his expression.
But from his words, everyone present could sense his awkwardness.
“You said, don’t feel pressured.”
Cheng Daqi roughly guessed what Kernor was trying to say and smiled encouragingly at the burly black man, urging him to continue.
“I want him to learn kung fu from you and then you could also introduce him to a job.”
Scott had remained silent the whole ti; he first wanted to see how Cheng Daqi, the swindler, would deal with Kernor’s request.
From the beginning, Cheng Daqi had noticed that Scott had a bad attitude toward him.
Although the blond man looked disheveled, his gaze was sharp, with a semblance of ferocity.
He wasn’t wrong; Scott indeed wanted to test his ‘kung fu’ to the point of making him cry for his daddy and mommy.
After listening to Kernor’s words, Cheng Daqi, an old hand at this, had already figured out the dynamics.
He smiled at Scott and said,
“Now I…”
Before Cheng Daqi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden, unexpected event.
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!”
A series of sowhat low sounds ca, causing Scott to shiver.
“F**K, soone’s shooting!”
Sani reacted swiftly, imdiately grabbing Cheng Daqi and preparing to run.
“Go, we need to hide, the gunshots are too close.”
The girl didn’t forget to pull her neighbor along as she fled.
“What’s wrong with him, Scott looks like he’s been shot!”
Kernor cried out, his voice trembling with alarm.
