{Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Wu +199} {Ding, negative emotions from Tang San +299} {Ding, ding, ding--}

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the Notting City residents watching their performance were all utterly speechless as they looked at Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe, who stood less than five meters apart.

In a small restaurant in Notting City--

Xiao Chenghe asked, "Brother Luo, how many did we sell?"

Luo Yihe lay slumped over the table and said helplessly, "What a bunch of ignoramuses. I only sold a little over seven hundred phones, but more than six hundred got returned. What a bunch of ignoramuses."

Xiao Wu pursed her lips and cut in, "It's obviously because your phones are too expensive, okay? A phone only costs 9.9 Silver Soul Coins, but everything on it costs extra. Sister Xiao Wu only played Snake for one afternoon, and it actually deducted fifteen Silver Soul Coins from me. Xiao Yi, can you give Sister Xiao Wu her Silver Soul Coins back?"

Xiao Wu's sudden turn at the end nearly threw Luo Yihe's back out.

Xiao Wu put on a pitiful expression and stared straight at Luo Yihe.

Luo Yihe retorted, "You got carried away playing and now you're blaming me? Besides, I didn't take the money that got deducted. What do you know? This is called high technology. Don't talk to me for now. With that brain of yours, you're only fit to sit at a table with a baby that's just been weaned."

{Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Wu +399}

Just as Xiao Wu was about to lose her temper, Tang San spoke first. "Luo Yihe, what kind of thing is that to say? Xiao Wu was only giving you a reasonable analysis. Don't be so ungrateful. Besides, your stuff is completely corrupting people, especially those games you developed. What was that one called, Douluo Escape? And especially Fight the Nobles, that game, you..."

"Stop, stop, stop. You think I wasn't talking about you? You're only a little better than Xiao Wu's underdeveloped rabbit brain, and you've got the nerve to lecture me?"

Luo Yihe said impatiently.

{Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Wu +499} {Ding, negative emotions from Tang San +299}

"Food's here~"

Just as the group was about to start arguing again, the waiter finally brought the dishes over.

Luo Yihe immediately lost any interest in bickering with them. He and Xiao Chenghe began wolfing down food like starving ghosts, but the two brothers could hardly be blamed. They were truly poor. Not only did they have to support themselves, but they also had to help out Xiao Family Village.

Now that they had finally come to a fancy restaurant, how could they not eat their fill?

Xiao Wu and Tang San had clearly seen the two eat like this before. They said nothing and hurriedly started eating too. Otherwise, they would not even have plates left to lick.

Luo Yihe glanced at how quickly Xiao Chenghe was eating. "Uh, Big Bear..."

"Don't talk yet. Eat first. I'm starving to death."

Xiao Chenghe devoured his food. Bowl after bowl of rice vanished, and plate after plate of dishes was dumped into his rice bowl.

"Burp."

"Brother Luo, what did you want to say?"

Luo Yihe directly put down his bowl of rice, waved a hand, and said calmly, "Oh, it's nothing now. I just saw a fly in your bowl earlier. You already ate it."

{Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Chenghe +499} {Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Wu +999} {Ding, negative emotions from Tang San +499}

"Holy crap, Brother Luo, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Blech~"

"Blech~"

"Blech~"

Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were still shoveling food into their mouths, immediately threw up violently.

Luo Yihe said innocently, "Didn't you say that? Whatever it was, I was supposed to wait until you finished eating before telling you."

"Blech, couldn't you stop me first when it's something like this?"

Xiao Wu's face went pale, and her eyes seemed ready to spit fire. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Luo Yihe, you..."

Tang San also glared at Luo Yihe as he vomited his guts out.

Luo Yihe was speechless. "Stop, stop, stop. Why are you two throwing up? I found it in Xiao Chenghe's bowl, not in the dishes."

{Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Chenghe +777}

Xiao Wu and Tang San immediately felt as if the clouds had parted. Their moods improved considerably, though they had no appetite left.

Xiao Chenghe slammed the table angrily. "Boss! Boss!"

A plump boss came waddling over eagerly. "Honored guests, have you finished eating?"

Xiao Chenghe pointed at the plate irritably. "How could there be a fly in my rice?"

The fat boss firmly shook his head. "Impossible. I won't claim my sanitation is the best on the whole continent, but it's definitely the best in Notting City. There can't possibly be flies."

Xiao Chenghe said, "I'm not lying to you. There really was a fly."

The fat boss lowered his head and looked at the empty plates, plates cleaner than after he had washed them, then said helplessly, "Where's the fly?"

"I ate it."

The fat boss's expression changed. Before, he had merely looked helpless, thinking he had encountered someone trying to skip out on the bill. Now, he felt that this kid might have something wrong with his head.

The fat boss looked directly at Luo Yihe. "Is he your friend?"

Luo Yihe hurriedly shook his head. "We're just sharing a table. This little girl is with me. That little darkie is with him. I heard they even swore brotherhood."

{Ding, negative emotions from Tang San +399} {Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Chenghe +799}

After saying that, Luo Yihe grabbed Xiao Wu and headed outside, while Xiao Wu was still giggling foolishly.

Tang San and Xiao Chenghe also hurriedly got up and headed out. Yet after only a few steps, Tang San fell flat on the ground with a thud.

"Hiss~ Damn it, which person with a death wish threw a watermelon rind around?"

After the four had eaten and drunk their fill, they walked down the streets of Notting City. This time, they finally did not argue. Instead, they discussed where they would go after graduating tomorrow.

Tang San spoke first. "Luo Yihe, no matter what, I'll accept this phone of yours, and thank you for being willing to go to Shrek Academy. Because of you two, my teacher has practically worried himself gray."

Luo Yihe did not care in the slightest and casually waved a hand. "It's fine. This Divine Lord observed the heavens last night and saw a lost maiden. She is this Divine Lord's concubine, and she is walking down a road of no return. This Divine Lord is just-- Ow."

Xiao Wu kicked Luo Yihe in the butt, sending him straight to the ground. She straddled him and clamped both hands tightly around his neck.

"Luo Yihe, you really are a bastard."

"Holy crap! Xiao Wu, are you looking to eat crap? You've already been demoted to a mere 'talented lady' by this Divine Lord. If you anger this Divine Lord again, believe it or not, I'll banish you to the Cold Palace."

"Go die! Even if Sister Xiao Wu starves to death or jumps off Notting City Lord's Residence, I'll never agree to be your concubine! Do you take Sister Xiao Wu for a three-year-old? I'll strangle you to death."

Seeing that this rabbit could no longer be fooled, Luo Yihe stopped being polite and tickled Xiao Wu's waist. The two immediately began fooling around in the street.

Xiao Chenghe did not care at all and even cheered Luo Yihe on from the side. Seeing this, Tang San had to admit that he was truly a little envious. His father had never loved him, his mother was absent, and he had lived like an orphan since childhood.

He had actually considered taking the initiative to ease his relationship with Luo Yihe, but his teacher and Luo Yihe were simply incompatible. Whenever they met, they either argued or exposed each other's secrets. If school rules did not forbid fighting, and especially forbidding putting teachers in sacks, Yu Xiaogang would have been beaten to death by the Luo Yihe brothers long ago.

Oh, the school rule against putting teachers in sacks had been added a year ago. As for the reason... no one could say. No one could say.
