After discussing it over the phone, Zhang Bo and the others decided to go out for a big meal.
Xiao Xiao had no objections.
The cafeteria, where they had originally agreed to meet... became the spot outside the school gate.
"Aw-ooh!"
Taotie's eyes lit up.
A big meal.
It had heard the two words it loved most.
Taotie couldn't help rolling over on top of Xiao Xiao's head.
Xiao Xiao chuckled.
For little Taotie, happiness really was simple.
As long as there was food, little Taotie's eyes would light up.
That was a good thing.
Xiao Xiao thought that life was already long for demons. If finding happiness was difficult too, then perhaps such a long life wouldn't seem so appealing.
Even a long life had to be lived happily to be worthwhile.
Xiao Xiao and the others walked out of the restaurant.
Thinking of the look the server had given him earlier, Zhang Bo couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.
"Why am I the one taking the blame for Third Brother..."
Zhang Bo mumbled a few words, then raised his voice back to normal. "I'm the one who got blamed."
"Who else but you?"
Zhuge Yun smiled.
"Take a look at us. Ask anyone to guess which one of us is the big eater..."
"Nine and a half out of ten would guess you."
"The half who doesn't probably has bad eyesight."
"Pfft!"
Zhao Luzheng laughed.
He thought... Second Brother was right.
Anyone who didn't guess Eldest Brother was the big eater... probably did have bad eyesight.
Or else they were trying to be contrarian.
They thought the answer couldn't be that simple.
Zhang Bo: ...
"Eldest Brother."
Xiao Xiao's lips curled up.
"Sorry you got mistaken for someone else."
