"Decided yet? Do you want to teach you the magic of turning into a peach blossom, or are you going to agree to two more conditions?" Seeing Lin Tian's distressed look, Li Xiaong asked with a mischievous grin.
Such harsh conditions, Lin Tian of course wouldn't agree!
If he really agreed, he would surely be eaten alive by this little girl in the future, endlessly threatened by her!
He couldn't agree, not even if his life depended on it!
His eyes darting around, Lin Tian quickly ca up with an idea.
Flashing Li Xiaong a smile, he slowly began, "I have a proposal! Although I can't teach you how to turn into a peach blossom, I can help you transform once when you need it. How does that sound?"
"That sounds like a good suggestion!" Li Xiaong earnestly agreed, then quickly changed her tone, "But once is too little, at least a hundred tis!"
At least a hundred tis?
Upon hearing Li Xiaong's words, Lin Tian almost crashed headfirst onto the sofa!
Did she think she was picking cabbages on the street?
Transforming once costs one Supernatural Point!
A hundred tis?
He would go insane!
Lin Tian, without even thinking, imdiately shook his head and refused, "No way! I can only help you transform into a peach blossom once!"
"Then… fifty tis!" Li Xiaong bargained, cutting it straight in half.
"Only once!" Lin Tian gave no ground.
"Twenty tis!"
"Once!"
"Ten tis!"
"Once!"
"Five tis!"
"Once!"
Slap!
Li Xiaong slamd her hand down on the coffee table.
Lin Tian was startled, nearly biting his tongue, and looked at Li Xiaong puzzled, "What's wrong with you? Why are you hitting the coffee table for no reason?"
"I've dropped from a hundred to five tis, and you haven't budged an inch!" Li Xiaong stood hands on hips, glaring down at Lin Tian, "Who bargains like this?"
Uh... it seed a bit too much!
But Supernatural Points are so precious, they really can't be wasted rashly!
Just give in a little bit, only a bit!
Lin Tian looked at Li Xiaong, hesitated for a mont, and painfully said, "At most twice! If you don't agree, you can go tell your parents about it!"
Only twice?
Though miserably few, it would barely do!
Li Xiaong hesitated, saw Lin Tian's "we might as well break up" deanor, and nodded in agreent, "Well... okay! Two tis then! I'm going back to my room to put away my backpack!"
Having said that, Li Xiaong bounced back to her room.
Accidentally, she had extorted two Supernatural Points from him!
Two Supernatural Points, oh!
This is really an everlasting regret from a single misstep!
Watching Li Xiaong leave happily, Lin Tian's face was full of bitterness as he thought to himself, "Looks like I'll have to be more careful with this little girl from now on!"
******
The next day was the weekend, but Lin Tian didn't sleep in.
Days ago, he had already made plans with Bu ngting and He Qianqian to go to the zoo together today.
At seven in the morning, Lin Tian woke up.
He lay in bed, didn't even bother to dress, and reached for his smartphone on the bedside table to call He Qianqian.
"Hey, Qianqian, are you up yet?"
"Not yet..." a lazy voice ca through the phone.
"Still sleeping? Co on, get up! Didn't we agree the day before yesterday to go to the zoo today, have you forgotten?" Lin Tian giggled.
"Of course I rember, I just wanted to sleep a bit more," after a few words, He Qianqian woke up a bit and joked, "You know, beauty is created in sleep!"
Beauty is created in sleep!
Huh? Why does that sound a bit off?
Lin Tian laughed and said, "That might be true for others! My Qianqian doesn't need it because I have Anti-aging Water, which works a million tis better than sleep!"
"That's also true! But, I still want to sleep a bit more!"
"Yo, do you want to enforce the family law then?"
"What family law! You little pervert, always thinking unhealthy thoughts!" an annoyed coo ca from He Qianqian over the phone.
"A man's not bad, a woman won't love him!" Lin Tian cheekily teased.
"You're just a little man!" He Qianqian laughed, emphasizing the "little man" part.
"Heh heh, small or not, you know the truth!" Lin Tian cheekily countered, and before He Qianqian could say anything else, he added, "Let's not talk about this! Get up quickly, ngting and I will co over and we'll have breakfast together!"
After hanging up on He Qianqian, Lin Tian made a call to Bu ngting.
As soon as the call connected, Lin Tian enthusiastically said, "ngting, my little wife, are you up? If you're not, I might have to enforce the family la-..."
"Keep it down, Li Xiaong is right next to !"
What was intended to be a series of sweet nothings was abruptly cut short by Bu ngting, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, forcing Lin Tian to swallow his words back down.
"Oh, then hurry up and get out of bed. We'll go back and find Qianqian and have breakfast together!" After stating the purpose of the call plainly, Lin Tian hung up.
He put down his phone and got out of bed to wash up.
Five minutes later, Lin Tian had finished washing up and sat waiting in the living room.
After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Bu ngting sent a text ssage.
Lin Tian hurriedly got up and quickly went to open the door.
Bu ngting stood charmingly at the doorstep.
Lin Tian casually locked the door and cautiously looked across, curiously asking, "Aren't you and Xiaong not in the sa room? How co she's by your side?"
"Last night, she insisted on chatting with . While talking, she fell asleep in my room!" Bu ngting explained with a smile.
"I didn't wake her up when I called you just now, did I?"
"No. She's heavy on morning drowsiness; she's sleeping sweetly right now!" Bu ngting shook her head.
"Then I'm relieved!" Lin Tian imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
After being hassled by Li Xiaong yesterday, he was sowhat fearful of the girl now.
Today, he had planned to spend a three-person world with Bu ngting and He Qianqian and really did not want a third wheel hanging around.
...
Around 7:40, Lin Tian and Bu ngting arrived at the morning market near City No. 2 School.
He Qianqian had arrived a bit earlier than the two of them.
Even though it was the weekend, at this ti, the place was crowded with people having breakfast, with nearly every stand filled with custors.
With so many people, seats were hard to co by.
Being just a step slow ant losing a seat to soone else, and then you'd have to wait.
Lin Tian and his friends waited a mont and finally spotted an available spot.
The trio quickly sat down.
Bu ngting on the left, He Qianqian on the right, Lin Tian sat in the middle.
After ordering breakfast, the three of them started to eat.
First, Bu ngting affectionately handed Lin Tian a bun, followed by He Qianqian tenderly peeling an egg for him, their affections clear for all to see.
Soon, Lin Tian began to feel uncomfortable—the stares of everyone around him, almost like flashlights, were shooting towards him in an instant.
So were envious, so jealous, and others contemptuous!
"He's so plain-looking!"
"Ah, two flowers stuck in cow dung!"
"What a pity!"
The murmur of voices, neither too loud nor too soft, made no effort to avoid Lin Tian.
Lin Tian imdiately realized he had incited public anger!
With his ordinary looks and dium height of only 176 cm, he was nothing special.
Yet he was with two stunning beauties, literally with one on each arm!
A blatant show-off!
Lin Tian scornfully curled his lips, muttering to himself, "Cut! My charm is sothing you lot couldn't understand. Just go on being jealous. I'll pretend I saw nothing!"
As he turned his head casually, Lin Tian suddenly noticed sothing unusual.
A refined-looking man was quietly reaching his hand into the purse of a woman who obviously looked like a city office worker, unaware of his actions.
This man was a thief!
Lin Tian imdiately reacted and was about to stand up to intervene.
"Miss, watch your bag!" Suddenly, a bespectacled youth dashed forward before Lin Tian, standing out to warn the woman.
As he spoke, the bespectacled youth turned to the refined man, the thief, and snorted coldly, "Stealing in broad daylight?"
At that mont, the thief was holding an iPhone, clearly having just stolen it and not yet hidden away.
"Ah? My phone!" The woman, seeing her phone, paused for a mont and swiftly snatched it back from the thief's hand.
The thief remained incredibly calm, without any sign of nervousness.
With an "unexpected" expression, the thief, looking at the bespectacled youth, "smiled wryly" and said, "Stealing? How could that be! I just found this phone on the ground..."
"Nonsense!" The bespectacled youth abruptly cut the thief off.
Pointing at the victim, the bespectacled youth declared confidently, "I clearly saw your hand going into this lady's purse!"
"Young man, you must be seeing things! I was by the side all along; this brother really did find it on the ground!" A woman in her thirties spoke up to defend the thief.
"Yeah! Young man, you just want to impress this lady by fabricating so theft story, right?" Another man, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, jumped out.
"Ah, the moral decay these days! To woo a girl, he actually falsely accuses soone of theft!" A third person chid in to criticize.
No doubt, these people were all in it together!
But these individuals jumping out first to publicly distort the truth and falsely accuse the bespectacled youth, had effectively embarrassed and discredited a well-aning young man.
Seeing the bespectacled youth turning red and unable to speak, those unaware bystanders imdiately began murmuring.
"It's so shaful, falsely accusing soone!"
"Yes, completely shaless! And here I thought he was a good person at first!"
"Chasing a girl doesn't need to go to such lengths!"
"That's too much!"
Realizing his good intentions were misunderstood by everyone, the bespectacled youth beca frantic, his voice rising as he argued, "You're talking nonsense! This phone was definitely stolen by him; I saw him put his hand into this lady's purse."
He pointed at the girl and continued, "If you don't believe it, you can co and check this lady's purse; the zipper was clearly opened..."
