Chapter 3: The Pirate Bug on the Beam

  Time flies like water, in the blink of an eye, it's already Wednesday, inside Class 1 Grade 10 ——

  Yes, the missing girl Liu Mengying finally reported to school after three days and nights!!

  Only to see Mengying arrive at school with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, she walks into the classroom, ignoring the surprised gazes of the crowd, and directly falls asleep on her desk. Hmm, it's strange, very strange! Why is this so unusual? Hehe, if you want to know more, please see next time... (Everyone, take out your votes and throw them at me fiercely... don't hold back, hehe)

  "Yingying, what's wrong?" Linxi sat beside her and poked her shoulder with her finger. After all, Yingying had never been in such a poor state of mind, because she was strong-willed and proud.

  Yan Xinmeng saw Mengying and hastily chimed in, "Yeah yeah, Mengying, what's going on? I said you're not a good friend at all, playing tricks without bringing me along? Honestly, hurry up and confess where you've been sneaking off to these past few days?" Look at this girl, always the spark that sets off the war.

  Shut up! Shut up! Mengying, who is in a state of sleep, is extremely sensitive to sounds. You'd better have something earth-shattering to say, or I'll kill you!

  Can't stand the noise, Mengying stretched out her hands and arched her back. Hmm, she had a nap, slept for a while, and woke up feeling much clearer. But, okay! My angry heart still exists!! I'm furious, I'm furious, I'm so furious! That damned pirated bug, that lowly crawling creature, if I catch him, watch me squash him to death!! Roar roar!!

  "Meng Ying... Meng Ying... Liu Meng Ying!" Xin Meng saw that Meng Ying had woken up, but she was on the verge of a level one explosion with a ghostly appearance. This is terrible, judging from Meng Ying's current anger index, it must be something serious! However, it can be said that this has pulled Meng Ying back from her rage to reality!

  "What's wrong? Yan Xin Meng, are you feeling that your life is too dull? Why shout so loudly? Besides, I'm not deaf!"

  "For goodness' sake, big sister, I've been calling out to you like a soul in torment. You finally wake up with great difficulty, and then you give me this 'I'm going to eat you alive' look. We're so worried about you, and yet you still have the nerve to yell at us?"

  "Hmph, fine. But don't blame me for this. If anyone's to blame, it's that damned bootlegging insect, that lowly crawling creature! If I catch him, I'll tear him apart alive!"

  "Alright, what's wrong now? Which idiot has gotten on your nerves again? Tell me the whole story from start to finish! Did it really escalate to a level-one hazardous terror state?"

  Content reflection

  I, Liu Mengying, was just disguised as a waiter in the restaurant looking for prey when I saw a person wearing casual sportswear, with cool shades on his eyes, a coffee-colored hat on his head, and a pair of special step casual running shoes.

  "Hmm, through my sharp eyes' analysis, this guy's looks barely meet the standards of the masses. Wait a minute, what's this? A 210-degree dazzling smile! And on top of that, this guy has two dimples on his face just like mine! Dimples! Isn't this the essential equipment I usually prepare to mess with people and my trademark dazzling smile?"

  Looking at his seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression, his eyes would occasionally flash with wisdom, and as I gazed at him, I couldn't help but think of a certain animal - the cunning fox! For some reason, I seemed to have caught a whiff of something familiar on him, and my intuition told me that this guy wasn't simple! Just thinking about it made my blood boil!

  Who is this guy?! Anyway, there's one thing I've decided - I don't like him. For some reason, it's just a simple dislike!

  Hehe, I've finally confirmed my number one target for teasing, the lovely Liu Mengying! As I thought about it, my gloomy eyes suddenly lit up! Looking at that guy again, hehe, go ahead and smile! Little brother, just you wait, I'll make you cry soon! I fumed in my heart. Nothing much, just a simple annoyance.

  There are still two small dimples on my cheeks, a bright smile of 210 degrees, giving customers a warm smile! "Hey! What can I get for you?" I said with a forced smile, trying to suppress the anger in my heart. However, I had already been thinking about how to deal with him in my mind. Heh! The anger I've been holding in for the past two days still hasn't subsided yet!

  "Let's have the eight signature dishes. The lovely waitress." Faint, it came again, the 210-degree dazzling smile and those two lovely dimples appeared in front of me once more.

  In the distance, that dazzling face made me feel as if I had seen an angel. That warm smile seemed to move me, for the first time making me have the urge to stop in my tracks!

  Can't bring yourself to do it? Oh my god! You're really messing with me, Liu Mengying! What on earth are you thinking?! The Buddha says: Don't be fooled by superficial appearances. How could someone as clever as you make such a low-level mistake?! Amen! Homage to the Buddha Anitabha! Looks like your willpower isn't strong enough! Is it because your uncle's brainwashing has been effective lately?

  Oh, NO…. Take a closer look, this guy is just slightly better-looking than normal people! To put it bluntly, he's just got a good-looking shell! Cherish and appreciate beauty? Sorry, I think I can only destroy beautiful things with my rough hands.

  Hehe, no matter who, as long as they harm society and the motherland, I'll take them down! (You can keep dreaming!) Ah, cough, I'm not some new generation of violent woman or anything. As the saying goes, "strike against piracy"... to defend my honor, I've gone all out...

  Hehe, isn't it just eight dishes? Little case! Wait for it, you'll be waiting for the eight dishes, and I, your sister, will make sure you never forget! In the kitchen, rich preparations are being made. After finishing up, the dishes are served, and all that can be seen is...

  That pirated insect saw the eight dishes I brought out, smelled the aroma, and smiled: "From a visual perspective, each dish has its own unique flavor effect. As for the taste, cough, it feels too spicy just by smelling it, too pungent. Hmm? You didn't skimp on chili peppers, did you? As for the mouthfeel, it's not clear yet, and I'll have to savor it myself."

  Rumble! No, no way! What's this guy's background? He's actually a qualified foodie? Looks like he's definitely an expert at scamming food and drink.

  Huh? At first glance, this guy looks a bit like Xīn Mèng that girl, heh heh, if Xīn Mèng were here right now, she'd definitely be tightly holding the hand of this bootleg bug, excitedly saying: Fate, fate! Handsome pot. That girl has definitely been promoted from Little White to Little Flower. Tsk tsk, that girl is a loyal member of the Appearance Association, and even a high-level VIP member!

  Ah, forget it! Stop! Never mind, I was just thinking of some boring plot anyway.

  Looking at that guy's ambiguous smile, I said with a welcoming smile: "Hehe, it seems this classmate is quite an expert, so please take your time to savor our signature dishes."

  "Given how hard you've recommended it to me, I'll definitely savor it properly." He seemed to be emphasizing the word "properly", whether intentionally or not.

  I shrugged indifferently and casually asked, "What's up? Are you alone, classmate?"

  He was about to pick up his chopsticks when he heard my words, and his body stiffened, a unnatural smile spreading across his face as he said: "Yes, I just got back to the country and rushed to the national restaurant, and in the vast sea of people, I even met such a lovely waitress like you. It's fate that we meet, so why not have dinner together?" After finishing speaking, he also blinked at me with those clear eyes, trying to look cute, and I was totally charmed.

  After listening, it's my turn to be stunned. Huh? You're dragging me down with you to taste these seasoned delicacies? Alright, you're ruthless. But I'm not stupid enough, sorry, can't accompany you in directing this play.

  "Thank you for your kindness, no need, take your time to enjoy it, I'll go to work first." On the surface, my job is still done very well.

  Haha, turning around at the same time, I used a speed that was as fast as lightning to set him up again. Tricks like switching babies are still quite handy for me. So, I also happened to hand him a cup of strong liquor that's no less potent than whiskey. Don't worry, I guarantee with my personal integrity that it's absolutely non-toxic!

  After that, I calmly and slowly withdrew from the scene, came to the locker room, changed back into casual clothes, sports shoes, and even put on a hat with a low brim. Yes, this casual style is just like the style of that pirated insect's body. Hmm, people who don't know might think we're wearing couple outfits...

  Slowly, he walked up to the counter and looked over at the bootleg bug, only to see ——

  He had just picked up his chopsticks and taken a bite when he immediately let out a loud "Ah, so spicy, so spicy".

  Haha, won't this make you jump with excitement? If it doesn't make you cry out in joy, how can I justify the authentic Sichuan hot pepper seeds I painstakingly dug up? Brother, you're in for a treat. To prank you, I've put in some real effort. Oh, poor pirated bug.

  His face full of anger, he saw a cup of water on the table and picked it up without thinking, drinking it all in one gulp. Unfortunately, things that don't go as planned always happen. As soon as he took a sip, the pungent spiciness on his tongue tip stimulated his entire nervous system, numbing his sense of taste, hearing, and sight. Suddenly, his senses were blocked...

  Damn it, is that really wine? The quality is not bad, but who the hell is this? Who exactly is this? How dare they switch my drink? Because, in my impression, the cup on his desk just now was absolutely water! I just don't know which bastard switched it with me!

  How dare you play tricks on me? Good, very good, extremely good! You've successfully provoked my anger. Thinking of this, the index of fury has quietly risen and is about to reach its peak. The gloom in my eyes is getting deeper and deeper, as if a storm is approaching...

  Damn it, who is this person? The lovely face that flashed in my mind!! How hateful, could it be her? This lousy waitress... I knew the cunning in her eyes wasn't simple! Oh no, I underestimated her, Thief Bug thought angrily.

  As he thought of this, he looked around, but seemed to have missed that glimpse of a shadowy figure. However, the people around him were all staring at him, whispering to each other and discussing something in hushed tones.

  No need to say, it must be his earth-shattering and astonishing shout that caused the commotion. Unreasonably, a wave of annoyance rose in my heart. Damn it, I've lost face all the way back home. Alright, let's slip away first and talk about it later.

  Thinking of this, I quickly put on my sunglasses, didn't say another word, settled the bill and left immediately.

  What a year! It wasn't in vain that I came to watch the show, and my annoyed mood seems to have improved a bit. The only disappointment is that when I was most proud, he slipped away quietly!? Isn't that right, brother? You're not giving me any face? This time I got you with the lowest-level move, and it's all because you don't look too bad!

  Forget it, the curtain is drawn, I should also leave. With a pleasant mood, smiling and walking out of the restaurant, just as I stepped out, I saw a beautiful young man leaning against the door of the restaurant. Maybe I'm more sensitive, but on him, I seemed to feel something called killing intent. Flashing by, freezing, flashing by, freezing, and then flashing by again...

  Wait, isn't he the pirated insect that I messed with? How is it here? Is its ghost still lingering? Suddenly, a sense of foreboding enveloped my front, and I'm being cautious, sailing a safe ship for ten thousand years.

  She pressed her hat down low, muttering to herself "You can't see me, you can't see me", wait a minute, what's wrong with me? Why am I so afraid of him? Me, a proud and elegant girl, should be intimidated by him? Ridiculous!

  But then I thought about it and decided to just drop it. I promised my uncle that I wouldn't cause any more trouble, one less thing is better than one more thing.

  However, life is often unsatisfactory. Usually, you don't go looking for trouble, but trouble will find its way to your doorstep anyway. For instance, at this very moment...
