Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Three People Stakeout
“Co on, give it up already,” Liu Cheng reluctantly opened his Space Button and took out a thermal container.
“Dear Mother, these are the last two I have,” Liu Cheng said, pushing the box forward slightly with so reluctance.
It was just a tiny nudge, barely noticeable unless you were paying close attention.
The woman sitting in the seat of honor grabbed the box and glared at Liu Cheng, “Stop dilly-dallying, just like your father!”
Liu Cheng’s father, feeling unjustly accused, first glared at Liu Cheng and then looked at the woman with a cheerful grin, not daring to say a word.
At that mont, Liu Cheng’s mother opened the thermal container and saw the golden corn.
The enticing aroma that spread was not overpowering, slightly addictive.
Liu Cheng’s father, craning his neck to get a better look, still didn’t dare to speak.
He watched his wife take a piece of corn, bite into it, and chew expressionlessly for a mont.
Inside, Liu Cheng’s mother’s emotions were tumultuous, but looking at the two cobs inside the container, she calmly placed the one in her hand back in.
“That will do for now. I’m confiscating these. You focus on your cultivation!” said Liu Cheng’s mother as she stood up and grabbed the thermal container to leave.
Just as she took a step, Liu Cheng’s father grabbed her.
“Wife, co on, we’ve been married forever, let’s not play this ga! At least let have a bite, and as for Liu Cheng, we can forget about him,” he said.
Liu Cheng’s mother stood still, pondering for a mont, and finally agreed, “Alright then.”
In front of Liu Cheng, the two of them shared one cob of corn, and when it ca down to the last one, Liu Cheng’s mother gave a threatening look, and Liu Cheng’s father quietly retracted his reaching hand.
When Liu Cheng’s mother finished the last piece of corn, she finally allowed Liu Cheng to rise from kneeling to standing.
“Where did you buy these from?”
At the question, Liu Cheng perked up and started enthusiastically describing how he found and judged the store.
“No nonsense! What’s the shop number?”
“Nine fours.”
Liu Cheng’s parents both opened Star Network and located the shop with nine fours, but today’s stock hadn’t been refreshed by Nian Shutong yet.
Liu Cheng also opened his Star Network and crouched next to his parents, the family of three waiting.
Waiting for the stock.
But just waiting wasn’t a solution, so Liu Cheng cautiously suggested, “Should I… leave a ssage for the shop owner? To hurry it up?”
Liu Cheng’s father glared and shouted, “You could speak up and you didn’t say it earlier! Hurry up!”
He had just tasted it.
Liu Cheng didn’t dare to argue, lowering his head and leaving a ssage on Star Network, first heaping praises, then asking when the new stock would arrive.
“Whoosh—!” The ssage was sent.
All three, now truly in waiting mode.
On the other end, Nian Shutong was in the middle of his cultivation, having left the operation of Star Network entirely to Daodao.
Daodao, who was busy transferring text, saw Liu Cheng’s ssage imdiately and paused his text work to reply to the ssage.
“Whoosh—!” The ssage reached Liu Cheng’s end.
The waiting family, all eyes on Liu Cheng’s Star Network ssage, Liu Cheng didn’t delay, imdiately opened it, and read it out.
“Dear, thank you for your love! Please don’t worry, the store will have new stock tomorrow at ‘Chen Shi’.”
After reading it, Liu Cheng thought, he called dear?
Hehe… awkwardly sweet. But…
“Mom, what ti is ‘Chen Shi’?”
This question thoroughly stumped Liu Cheng’s parents.
Liu Cheng’s mother, snapping suddenly, smacked Liu Cheng on the head and said, “Who cares what ti exactly, it’s tomorrow anyway!”
“Right! We keep waiting. And you, young man, aren’t allowed to go anywhere, in case you sneak a bite!”
