Chapter 9: The Calm Before the Storm

  Coffee shop

  At this moment, Liu Mengying was so angry that her hands were shaking, and she stirred the coffee with a spoon for a long time. On top of her head, there were strings of small flames burning vigorously and jumping wildly.

  Chu Linxi and Yan Xinmeng were savoring their coffee, but looking at Meng Ying like that, always mixing it back and forth. It's really unbearable! Oh no, isn't this a waste of national resources?

  You know, I just spilled 15 cups of coffee because I was too full from the dreamy mixture. 15 cups! Such delicious cappuccino coffee went to waste like that...

  Moreover, you know that this thing is sold in limited quantities every day! How much money will it take?! Hmph, I'll definitely make Meng Yin pay for it later!

  "I'm so angry, I'm so angry..." Meng Yin muttered to herself.

  "Hmph, in the restaurant, when I wasn't in a good mood, I, Liu Mengying, just slightly tidied him up and used him to vent my emotions. He actually had the nerve to retaliate against me and kept pursuing me relentlessly!"

  "Besides, I, Liu Mengying, just happened to trip him up while running away, and then covered his not-so-bright head with a trash can. Then, I simply kicked him flying! And it was only over ten times back and forth. That lowly creature chased me for three whole days and nights, yes, three whole days and nights!"

  At this time, Mengying was speaking passionately, while Linxi and Xinmeng were holding a magazine and discussing it enthusiastically.

  "Ling Xi, what do you think of this coat?" Xin Meng asked, pointing at the coat in the picture.

  Linx smiled and said: "Hehe, great! Very suitable for you, but it's not my style. I personally like this hat."

  Just as they were chatting happily...

  "Hmph, how can there be someone as petty as that lowly creature?"

  Three crows flew by... Lin Xi and Xin Meng really couldn't be bothered to respond.

  Seeing this, Mengying was very angry, and the consequences were severe. Both hands heavily slapped on the table, stood up, and shouted: "Hey, are you two listening or not?"

  Ling Xi blinked her clear and lively eyes, innocently echoing: "Of course we were listening carefully, we've been chasing you for three days and three nights." Why do I always get stuck with this kind of silly role...

  Xin Meng crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, looking unimpressed. "I'm telling you, Meng Yin, you've been going on about that lowlife bug who chased you for three days and nights since yesterday, and I've got the whole story memorized by now. How can you still talk about it without getting bored? We're already sick of listening to it."

  I'm also tired of hearing it, my ears are almost growing calluses! Lin Xi's heart flashed with a hint of complaint.

  "Exactly! Meng Ying, we've been dragged by you for the past two days to listen to your endless chatter about your grudges with that lowly creature, Dou Ban Chong. Even at night, you wouldn't let us sleep well, forcing us to watch that horror movie with you. My brain still can't get rid of those messy thoughts! Alright, I'll let it slide this time. But can't you see that even if you're annoyed, there's a limit to how much you can talk about it?! Lin Xi clenched one fist and rubbed her temples with the other hand, where a faint "well" pattern of veins was starting to show."

  Meng Ying clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying: "Hmph, it's all because of that despicable creature, the copyright insect! He's really detestable! You know, his crimes are so numerous that even if we talked about them for over a hundred years, we still wouldn't finish!!" (Uh, okay, I'll just ignore this...)

  "Hmph, if I ever run into that damned little insect again, I'll let him experience the might of my Ultimate Wolf Fang Baton's sharp needle-like tip for free! By then, he'll understand why flowers are so red!"

  Wow, daring to provoke Mengying's great anger, that lowly pirated insect is really commendable for its courage! I don't dare say it's unprecedented, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that it's absolutely a first in history! However, as for the follow-up development, will it get beaten by Mengying until it's left searching for its teeth on the ground, or will it be dealt with until it's half dead?

  Well, just because you're a pirated bug who dares to scold Mengying, I'll absolutely give you a good person card! May God be with you, amen!

  "Hmph, when the time comes, I'll use the ultimate Wolf Fang Rod to wildly thrash and flatten him!!"

  Oh oh oh... These two kids aren't listening at all, Lin Xi and Xin Meng are chatting happily.

  "Hey? Let me think for a moment, Xin Meng, didn't you say your brother was going to transfer to our school? Why haven't I seen him with you?" Lin Xi looked at Xin Meng with confusion and puzzlement.

  Xin Meng suddenly became speechless... "Uh, well... cough, cough..." Xin Meng deliberately put on a very serious face, covering her chin with one hand, and said solemnly: "Hmm. Speaking of which, older brother did say he wanted to go to school with me together, but you know, I'm still used to going to school alone, getting up in the morning and naturally walking to school, his thing, I completely threw it out of my mind. Heh heh."

  "Hehe, I didn't expect Xin Meng to be careless too!" Lin Xi covered her mouth and laughed, "By the way, you and your brother are twins, right? He should also be in high school freshman year?"

  "Uh-huh, my older brother is indeed in the same grade as me."

  "Haha, are you still daring to stand him up? Aren't you afraid he'll also get lost and be a road idiot like you? What can I say, you two are equally matched in terms of genes, who knows if this kind of situation won't happen again?"

  "Hmm? Are you scolding me? " He glanced at Lin Xi sideways and continued, "My brother and I have been separated for five years now. It's inevitable that our feelings will become estranged and our relationship will fade. To be honest, even now when I see him every day when I wake up, I still haven't gotten used to it."

  "Hehe, you're not sincere! You know after your brother comes back, you still often smile foolishly by yourself? Having a same-year same-month same-day brother is really great!" Lin Xi said with envy.

  "Hmm? Speaking of which, if my older brother hadn't been born just a little bit earlier than me, I would be the sister! You know..."

  "Hey! Are you two seriously listening or not?!" Meng Yin slammed her hands heavily on the table, shouting loudly. The people around were all scared to death!

  Good heavens! Spare me... Lin Xi helplessly rubbed her temples and shook her head with a sigh.

  But Xinyue looked unconvinced, thinking to herself that she had already gotten used to it.

  "Of course I'm listening. We've all memorized these lines, okay? It's just that I didn't expect you to actually use your ultimate weapon: the Omega Wolf Fang Needle Gun this time." Lin Xi said with a wry smile.

  "Hey? Speaking of which, isn't today the day that Zhang Wenfeng's little girl transferred back to our school? Why haven't I seen her? Did she get lost too? Hehe." Xinmeng turned her sparkling eyes and said with a smile.

  Listening to Xinmeng's words, Mengying's forehead dripped with three drops of cold sweat, and she tugged at the twitching corners of her mouth, saying resentfully: "Don't put Wenfeng in the same category as you, among us four, only you are a thoroughbred road idiot!"

  "Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen Wenfeng, I really miss her. Now that's great, our "Earth Girls' Team" is finally reunited! Hmm...this can also be considered as a lady? Alright, except for Mengyin, you three barely qualify."

  Upon hearing the team's name from back in the day, Meng Yin's mouth corners involuntarily curled up, revealing a bright and radiant smile. With a hint of anger and resentment, she said: "Huh? She's finally willing to come back after leaving for two years? Hmph, daring to stand us up so many times, this time I'll show her who's boss! However, speaking of showing someone who's boss, right now I'd rather catch that lowlife bootlegger and give them a good thrashing!" At this point, Meng Yin's teeth were clenched with a "chattering" sound, and her fists were clenched with a "cracking" sound.

  But Xinyue and Linxi simultaneously shrugged their shoulders, palms up in a helpless gesture. At the same time, they also sympathized with that poor little bug who had never been seen before, who could make the master of high skills, Liu Mengying, so angry that she was half dead. This guy was really not easy to deal with! Just for this point alone, they already admired him greatly!
