Li Chenglong hurriedly played along. "What did the young fellow who brought his wife say?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "This friend really was a character. He declared generously, 'Coming to visit my elder brother's home, I have brought you white clouds and a clear breeze...'"
Li Chenglong turned to Lie Xiaohuo. "Truly poetic, truly a character! He clearly brought absolutely nothing, yet he could still make himself sound so badass... What a talent. Otherwise, how could he pull off what others couldn't?!"
Lie Xiaohuo's cheeks twitched.
Xue Xiaoluo pinched her husband's thigh over and over.
You've made me die of embarrassment today!
Lie Xiaohuo hardened his heart. The more you mock me, the more determined I am not to give you anything. Other than enjoying running your mouth, what else can you do...?
Li Chenglong laughed. "Then what?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "Then the rich man had no choice but to let the couple in... He kept waiting, and the second guest arrived. As long as one friend brought a gift, he would still win."
Li Chenglong asked, "Was there something to this second guest too?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "Yes, even more than the first. This friend's family was very poor. He was flat broke, but he was good-looking too, even more handsome than the young fellow before him. The skin on his face was as smooth as a freshly peeled egg..."
Kong Xiaodan rubbed his smooth face, speechless.
Zuo Xiaoduo continued, "...So everyone usually liked to call him Little Eggy, or Little Egg."
Li Chenglong looked enlightened. "I see. So how did he question this second guest?"
Zuo Xiaoduo turned to Kong Xiaodan. "The rich man asked him this: 'Little Egg, you've come to my house for dinner. What have you brought me?'"
"Pfft, pfft..."
