Chapter 129 - I Deserve You at Your Best (1/2)
Mr. Sleepy had already collapsed, but when he saw the reminders in the live comments, he almost fled. However, he managed to revive himself with his super “self-healing” abilities. In front of the live stream, he broke into an ecstatic mood, and soon, the night tour stream became a narrated documentary series with Meng Fan as the cameraman.
They fooled around until 10:00 pm or so. As they were walking toward the side of the road, they happened across a bar. Mr. Sleepy was captivated. Only he was just a wisp of paper compared to the strength of Meng Fan. Very quickly, he was stuffed into the taxi they had hailed.
“I finally get to be a father figure to a collaborator, and you treat me like this?! I’m not asking for extravagant treatment the entire way, but can’t we have a little entertainment activity?”
“Were you not entertained just now? Go home and update!”
“I’m a little tired. I think I’ll sleep early. One’s health is the most important!”
Meng Fan arranged for Mr. Sleepy to stay at a fairly nice hotel near the academy before heading home. If Mr. Sleepy was really going to bed or planning to head out later for food, Meng Fan would not care.
Of course, Meng Fan chose this hotel because of its unique location.
After returning, Meng Fan worked on his art until 3:00 am before finally sleeping. The next day, he woke up at 6:00 am again and ran his laps before going to class. At 10:00, he called Xing Ta Ge to help drive Mr. Sleepy to the train station.
The reluctant Mr. Sleepy finally entered the station when Meng Fan told him to ‘update’ his novel once he returned.
“You go back first.”
“Me first?”
” Wu Tong’s coming back from Shanghai. She’ll be here in an hour.”
“Oh, then I’ll just wait with you.”
“It’s alright; we don’t need a third wheel.”
“Haha, then why didn’t you just call a taxi here with Mr. Sleepy?!”
“That’s not the same! After all, he’s my contract father. Who sends their contract father away on a cab!?”
“Hehe, but it’s okay to take your contract dad night touring yesterday?”
“Of course, if you come to Hangzhou, you have to see Xizi lake!”
“Hehe, your contract dad was probably more interested in girls with heavy makeup and pretty babes near Xizi lake and not the actual scenic area!”
“Lake? Why didn’t you say so? Why don’t we get a group together and play mahjong?”
“Why don’t you misunderstand me as Huba then we can go back to the hotel and pull radishes together!?”
Xing Ta Ge gave Meng Fan a ceremonial middle finger and left. Meng Fan chuckled to himself as he went to buy a drink and wait.
At 11:40, the train entered the station. A few minutes later, Meng Fan saw Wu Tong dragging her luggage out. He handed her the drink he just bought and took her suitcase from her.
Wu Tong smiled. “You really came.”
Obviously, he had given her a heads up before coming. Otherwise, he was not sure if his sudden appearance would be a surprise or a scare to Wu Tong.
“I came to see a friend off and was just in time to get you, so we can go back together.”
Meng Fan shielded Wu Tong from the crowded traffic at the station’s exit before restoring the normal distance between them. He then said, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat now or when you get back?”
“I’m okay. If you’re not too hungry, let’s go back first?”
“Okay.”
They hailed a cab and dropped Wu Tong’s stuff off at the dorm before heading to the waterfront restaurant near the academy.
