Chapter 808: The Missing Wu Hai
Yuan Zhou was unaware of who Sun Ming was referring to but one thing was certain. What he wanted to do was definitely unheard of. Although Yuan Zhou did not know what the Tour of Hainan was, it was definitely a large scale competition since it would be covered by the TV stations.
To become the champion after only one year of training was no different than wishing to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Although Sun Ming’s clothing store wasn’t too big, but it had a good location and had a great potential for growth. For the sake of courting a woman, he had agreed to transfer the ownership of the store to someone else. His father would probably be infuriated to death if he knew this. But based on Yuan Zhou’s understanding of Sun Ming’s father, before he was infuriated to death, he would probably first beat Sun Ming to death.
“My original consideration is if I should hire someone to take care of the store for me. But ultimately, I decided to put all my focus into it. After all, it is not easy to become the champion,” Sun Ming said with a serious expression that was rarely seen on him. “By the way, apart from my college entrance examination, I have never been this serious in my life. I personally feel like pursuing my goddess is even more meaningful than the college entrance examination.”
Speaking of Sun Ming, something rather miraculous had happened to him. He was initially a bad student. Let alone being a first-class undergraduate, he would probably fail to be even a third-class undergraduate. But midway through his senior year, his grandmother had suddenly passed away. Before she passed, Sun Ming had promised that he would pass the entrance examination.
After that, using only half his senior year, he started studying and was even able to pass the entrance examination for one of the major colleges. This was an unbelievable achievement. Unfortunately, he seemed to have spent too much time studying that it had harmed him instead. Ever since he passed the examination, he had turned into the lazy person he was today.
In truth, Sun Ming had been speaking the majority of the words during this conversation. Yuan Zhou had not spoken anything, nor would he ask anything. For the sake of a woman, it was not worth this sacrifice. However, it was the affair between Sun Ming and the woman. As a third party, it was pointless for Yuan Zhou to say more.
For example, for the sake of pursuing that woman, Sun Ming had changed his career and started cycling. But even with that, there was no guarantee that the woman would be his girlfriend. For others, this was absolutely stupid of him but for Sun Ming, he was extremely happy to be doing that.
“With your support, I feel braver,” Sun Ming said. “But if I do end up failing, I will have neither my store or the girlfriend. That would be very bad, isn’t it?”
Sun Ming’s mood seemed to have improved considerably since he could already joke around.
Yuan Zhou was never a friend that knew how to comfort or advise someone. He could only do two things, with the first being offering his companionship.
And the second was…
“Sun Ming, if one day you have no money for food, come work at my restaurant. I will give you a high salary, salary enough for you to not starve,” Yuan Zhou offered seriously. This was the second thing he could do: ensuring that his friend would not starve.
“Are you trying to be my grandfather?” Sun Ming shifted the mood of the conversation. “Good, I shall help you with that. Grandfather, can you teach me how to cook? I feel like gaining control over my goddess’s stomach will be a good strategy to capture her heart.”
“You don’t have the talent for that,” Yuan Zhou looked Sun Ming up and down before he said.
“Don’t you know that being too honest might make it hard for you to get a girlfriend?” Sun Ming said.
“Um,” Yuan Zhou nodded and continued, “So do you want to go watch a movie tonight?”
“It’s too weird for us two single males to go watch a movie together,” Sun Ming said in astonishment.
“No, only one single male. I will buy you the ticket and you can go alone. Um, to switch up your mood a bit through the movie. There is a romance movie tonight,” Yuan Zhou said as he took his mobile phone out.
“It’s your treat?” Sun Ming wanted to reject, but he recalled that Yuan Zhou was buying the ticket. This made him hesitate.
After all, Yuan Zhou the Compass would rarely treat someone to something.
“Um, I’ll pay for the ticket and you will be the one going,” Yuan Zhou said generously.
“Fine, since you are paying for it, I want to watch a blockbuster movie,” Sun Ming clenched his teeth and requested.
“Watch a romance movie to learn how to court girls. You can’t even get this one goddess. What else are you good for?” Yuan Zhou rejected and proceeded to buy the ticket for a romance movie.
It had never crossed Yuan Zhou’s mind that watching a movie alone was already an incredibly lonely thing to do. And now, he was making Sun Ming watch a romance movie, out of all other genres. How would that make Sun Ming feel?
