Chapter 337 - Orange Ice Cream (2/2)

Zhang Heng’s father attempted to uphold justice for his wife.

“Why not go out again and find her orange ice cream this time?” he said.

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“Forget it. This looks pretty good. It’s natural, no additives or artificial flavoring.”

“By the way, tell grandpa not to cook my share of food when he comes back later tonight.”

“Ah… we finally returned to China, and we haven’t spent much time together. Why are you going out every day?” Zhang Heng’s mother seemed to have a hard time accepting the new reality. While peeling her orange, she continued to complain about how he was always missing from the house. “Don’t youngsters these days prefer to stay home alone instead of socializing?” she sighed.

“I have something to do, and I’ll be home once it’s settled. Also, your stomach is not built to handle too much ice cream. Control yourself,” Zhang Heng warned.

“Hehe… you still remember that, huh, my son?”

Zhang Heng’s mother smiled, now appearing to be a little happier after not getting the flavor she wanted.

It was now daytime, and Zhang Heng headed the game’s checkpoint. It was inevitable that he was spotted by many, and so, took the long road back home. To be safe, he had changed into a new set of clothes. He then called Qin Zhen, a good friend of his since childhood. Having studied in the same junior high school, their friends.h.i.+p was still strong up to this day. On the other end of the phone, Qin Zhen gasped. “You’re thinking of asking Liu Ming to meet us? And you are asking him to bring his sister with him?! Hold on. I’m a little confused. Are you asking for Liu Ming or his sister? She’s just enrolled in elementary school! Dude, you sure are desperate for a girlfriend, aren’t you?”

“What the h.e.l.l are you thinking? I just need to ask her some questions!”

Before this, Zhang Heng found out about Tian Tian’s school and cla.s.s through her workbook, discovering that the little girl who visited her looked exactly like the person in the photo he saw on social media. This was no coincidence since all the kids in the area would attend the nearest elementary school. Many of Zhang Heng’s previous friends were living nearby as well. However, he did not know Liu Ming too well. They walked home together a few times when they were in the same junior high school, but that was about it.

On the other hand, Qin Zhen and Liu Ming often played basketball together. Liu Ming was the one who uploaded the photo on social media. In the picture, he was helping his sister complete some homework.

The caption of the photo was – What sort of elementary school question is this?! Even I can’t solve this. I feel my intelligence getting lower.

Zhang Heng wanted to learn more about Tian Tian’s situation at school. Her parents had previously investigated the matter and ruled out the possibility of bullying. Their investigation, however, was focussed solely on ordinary human beings. Even if they found something they couldn’t explain, they would have just forgotten about it. So Zhang Heng decided to recollect all the information to see if they missed anything.

The fact that Liu Ming’s sister was in the same cla.s.s as Tian Tian saved him a lot of trouble.

“Help me make an appointment with Liu Ming for dinner. Ask him to bring his sister with him. I’ll foot the bill,” Zhang Heng said.

“Okay… but if you dare mess with his sister, don’t blame me if I hunt you down.”
