Hu Yi Fei widened her eyes. She had thought that after her strength increased, she would be able to wreak havoc on the next mission. However, she received such news. Wait, “If that's the case, then the missions will become increasingly difficult, and it will become harder for others to join.”
Xue Mo Yin nodded. “That’s right. For example, in this zombie world, if we hadn't forcibly taken Red Queen away, then we would have been able to protect the others. However, such things will become increasingly difficult in future missions. Therefore, they will only have five mission opportunities at most. If they are not ready by then, I may never take them with me again.”
Yi Fei didn't refute anything because what Xue Mo Yin said was the truth. Moreover, if they couldn't even ensure the most basic safety, she knew that Xue Mo Yin would never take that risk. Now, she could only hope that Zhan Bo would grow up quickly.
“Alright, even if Zhan Bo really chooses not to go with us, he called me brother-in-law, so how could I mistreat him?”
If anyone else dared to speak to her like that, Hu Yi Fei could guarantee that they would be in the hospital right now. But this guy… she rolled her eyes at Xue Mo Yin, but she didn't say anything. Recently, she had been hearing this guy's sweet talk all the time, and he would occasionally take advantage of her. She didn't know why her defense system seemed to be deactivated when it came to him.
…
Inside 3601, after breakfast, Wan Yu and Mei Jia went to train, and Zhan Bo had to go to work. Xue Mo Yin and Hu Yi Fei sat on the sofa, watching the performance of this jerk with great interest.
“You two handsome men and beautiful women, please have mercy on me. Lisa Rong will be here soon. This is related to my future career! Please go out and have fun. I'll treat you to dinner after it's done.” Zeng Lao Shi clasped his hands together, with a pleading look on his face. His boss was about to come, and in their suite, Guan Gu was busy working on his drawings. If they disturbed him, the guy might stab him with a knife.
Mo Yin and Yi Fei looked at each other. Alright, a free meal wasn't bad. They turned around and went into 3602.
As soon as they entered, Hu Yi Fei said, “Hey, do you think that jerk Zeng Xiao Xian really intends to accept the unspoken rules?”
Xue Mo Yin shrugged and rolled his eyes. Even if Lisa Rong really wanted to impose unspoken rules, he doubted Zeng Lao Shi would have the guts. “Cut it out. Do you think they can do anything in broad daylight, especially in our suite?”
However, Hu Yi Fei's focus was clearly off, and she immediately went to the balcony window to observe the movements in the living room next door.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t bother me. Come over here quickly. If they really dare to do anything in our suite, I will send them both to hell.”
Xue Mo Yin patted his head, unable to do anything but follow her.
At this time, Guan Gu came out of the room, looking at the two people who were leaning on the window with a confused expression. “What are you doing? Peeping?”
Xue Mo Yin had a black line on his forehead. “Get lost! Aren't you working on your comic? Why did you come out?”
“I'm going to the toilet. What are you guys doing?”
“Watching Zeng Lao Shi get taken advantage of.”
Upon hearing this, Guan Gu became interested and ran over. “Nani? Where?”
Hu Yi Fei whispered, “Keep your voice down. It's in our suite. That female producer will be here soon.” After saying that, Guan Gu waited excitedly, even forgetting about going to the toilet.
Xue Mo Yin was completely speechless. Was there any hope for these people?
“She's here, she's here. This woman looks pretty good, and her figure is also okay, but unfortunately, her eyesight isn't good. She can actually fall for Zeng Xiao Xian, that jerk.” Hu Yi Fei was now eagerly anticipating the development of the plot.
Xue Mo Yin had no interest at all. If the male lead had been Lu Zi Qiao, then it would have been possible for the plot to become R-rated. As for Zeng Lao Shi, forget it. Let alone whether Lisa would be interested in him, even if she was, Zeng Lao Shi wouldn't have the guts.
And at this time, inside 3601, Zeng Lao Shi was serving tea and water, nodding and bowing, his fawning behavior was simply too much.
Just then, Lu Zi Qiao suddenly walked in from outside, holding a fishing rod and smelling of fish. His sudden entrance startled Zeng Lao Shi. He had greeted everyone, but he had forgotten to tell Zi Qiao because this guy was almost always busy chasing girls. Who would have thought that he would suddenly come back today? He quickly winked at Zi Qiao, signaling him to leave quickly.
However, unexpectedly, another person seemed even more surprised. “Xiao Bu!” Lisa Rong looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
But when Lu Zi Qiao heard this name and saw Zeng Lao Shi’s expression, he knew that things had gone wrong. Lu Xiao Bu was a pseudonym he used specifically for picking up girls, and with his fish-like memory, he had long forgotten about Lisa Rong. He quickly lowered his head and walked out, muttering as he left, “Xiao Bu? You got the wrong person.”
Lisa Rong stood up and said, “Xiao Bu! Don’t you remember? I’m your Rong Rong! Xiao Bu!” She still didn’t manage to stop Zi Qiao.
And at this time, the few people in 3602 looked at Zi Qiao, who ran away as if he was escaping, with questioning expressions. Zi Qiao came in, locked the door, and only took a deep breath after hearing that no one was chasing him. Just as he turned around, he saw Mo Yin and the others staring at him, and he was immediately startled. “What are you doing? You almost scared me to death.”
Yi Fei said, “Don’t talk nonsense! Tell us, what’s going on with that female producer? Didn’t you say you were going to impose unspoken rules on Zeng Xiao Xian? Why are you getting all lovey-dovey with her?”
Guan Gu excitedly raised his hand. “I know, I know. This is called a cat playing with a mouse!”
Several people turned their heads and looked at him expressionlessly. Guan Gu smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had probably used the wrong idiom again.
“What are you talking about? That woman is my ex-girlfriend. I dumped her a long time ago. I didn’t expect to meet her here. What a bummer.” Zi Qiao waved his hand in complaint.
Xue Mo Yin couldn’t help but tease him. “So, does that mean Zeng Lao Shi is going to be wearing a green hat?”
Zi Qiao looked disdainful. “Him? Look for yourselves.”
The few of them looked back and realized that Lisa Rong had resumed her arrogant attitude, as if she was reprimanding someone, while Zeng Xiao Xian stood aside with a flattering expression, a living example of a jerk.
Guan Gu looked disappointed. “Zeng Lao Shi is so useless. I’ll go to the toilet.”
Hu Yi Fei also sat back on the sofa with a disappointed expression. Xue Mo Yin looked at Zi Qiao, his brows furrowed as if he had remembered something. “I say, Zi Qiao, have you been training properly lately?”
When he said this, Zi Qiao froze in place. Training? He trained what! After returning from the last mission, he had a large sum of money in his hand, and his recent life had been decadent and promiscuous. He had long forgotten about training.
Xue Mo Yin looked at his expression and knew the answer. Indeed, expecting this guy to train voluntarily was as likely as a pig flying. “If you keep this up, I will have to seriously consider whether your strength is still enough to act with us next time.”
Hu Yi Fei snorted. “The men in this apartment are all unreliable. We women will be enough for the next mission.”
Hey! Isn’t that a bit of a generalization? Xue Mo Yin glared at her angrily.
And at this time, Zi Qiao seemed to have made up his mind. “Alright, Mo Yin. I remember you said that there's usually a gap of about half a month between two missions. That means there’s about a week left before the next mission. I’ll transfer all the money in my card to you tomorrow and you can keep it for me. I’ll only keep ten thousand on me. I’ll start training from the day after tomorrow.”
This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. He thought about it carefully before making this decision. Although, as Mo Yin said, they didn’t need to go training every day, they couldn’t be too relaxed. Although he had exchanged halberd techniques and footwork techniques in the past few days, he hadn’t trained once. In that case, his strength had not improved at all. Being a drag on the team was something that Lu Bu, the peerless general, could never accept.
