Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Did You Stuff Donkey Hair in Your Ears?

At noon, the sun blazed fiercely.

In a Häagen-Dazs store, Chu Xiaoran and Xiao Zheng sat facing each other.

After a morning of competition, Zhonghai University’s martial arts club had thoroughly trounced the Taekwondo team from Korea’s Shou’er University.

Li Dasheng’s attempt to challenge them had backfired; humiliated and unable to save face, he declined the banquet invitation from Zhonghai University’s leaders and took his students to lick their wounds, leaving with their tails between their legs.

Chu Xiaoran was in high spirits, having forgotten the bullying from Xiao Zheng, and instead invited him for Häagen-Dazs to celebrate their victory.

"Hehe, Ah Zheng, how was my performance today? Cool, huh?"

Chu Xiaoran, while touching up her makeup with a small mirror, chatted casually with Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng, enjoying his Häagen-Dazs, nodded appreciatively, "Hmm, cool as hell, totally badass and awesome!"

"Hehe..."

After applying her lipstick, Chu Xiaoran pursed her lips and feigned shyness, "Not at all, I’m very low-key."

"Pfft..."

Xiao Zheng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood;; you call that low-key? What does that make me, extra low-key?

He’d never seen a girl who could make such a fuss, truly a vexing little fairy.

For instance, now that her makeup was done, Chu Xiaoran’s features appeared even more delicate, her beauty painstakingly sculpted, especially those lips—damn, Xiao Zheng felt an urge to take a bite.

"Damn it, Xiao Ran, let’s be clear about this as close siblings; I was forced to work overtime today. Hand over the overtime pay!"

"Stingy!"

Chu Xiaoran took out a coin from her little purse and slapped it into Xiao Zheng’s palm.

"I heard from your cousin that last month’s salary was almost fully deducted. So, here’s one yuan as your overtime pay. Go buy a lollipop or something."

What?!

One yuan?

Xiao Zheng’s expression changed unpredictably; he felt an urge to explode, tempted to press Chu Xiaoran down on the table...

Get your mind out of the gutter; I’m a civilized person!

At most, I’d slap her little butt a few times to vent my frustration.

"Xiao Ran, how can you be like this, I’m earning five to six thousand a month, let’s calculate it at six thousand; thirty days a month, two hundred a day."

"Two hundred?"

Chu Xiaoran’s mouth twitched; even our university beauty is broke by the end of the month, treating you to Häagen-Dazs is already quite something, and you still want overtime pay?

"No money, just one life, figure it out!"

Hey!

Xiao Zheng, amused by her attitude, thought she really had the making of a professional debtor, but he still had to get his money, as he was broke too.

His salary from last month had nearly run out; now he was penniless, and his stomach was growling.

"Princess Xiao Ran, you’re quite a famous online streamer, how can you be so stingy?"

"My money, it’s all gone, really, I have none left." Chu Xiaoran had made up her mind to stick to her story.

Xiao Zheng’s eyes flickered craftily, like a cunning uncle, he said, "Hehe, if you don’t want to pay, you might as well quit being a streamer."

"Who are you scaring? Whatever!" Chu Xiaoran scoffed.

"Sigh!"

Xiao Zheng, feeling extremely disheartened, shook his head and walked away, his voice carrying from afar.

"I really miss the days when I had bricks, rotten eggs, and foul language, I’m about to uninstall your streaming site’s firewall software."

"Huh?"

Chu Xiaoran startled, then her expression hardened, her face turning pale, and she picked up her purse and chased after him.

"Ah Zheng... Ah Zheng... I was wrong!"

However, Xiao Zheng simply ignored her, turned his head aside with a "hmm" and acted all high and mighty.

A curious scene unfolded, drawing the attention of passersby.

Wherever a handsome man and a beautiful woman go together, they’re always the center of attention. In an instant, passersby started pointing and discussing animatedly.

"Xiao Liang, look, do you see it? This is a classic loser’s counterattack. The guy isn’t dressed well, yet he’s being chased by a rich young lady. Tsk, tsk, tsk... I’m jealous."

"Are you stuffing your ears with donkey fuzz? Didn’t you hear? That pretty girl is still apologizing. She probably messed up, and he’s ditching her."

"Nonsense, look at her curves, so perfect and her face is like a fairy’s, would she fall for such a poor loser?"

"Cut it out, we live in a society that judges by appearances now, just a handsome face is enough to get girls!"

"..."

Chu Xiaoran, overhearing the buzzing conversations, felt her face turning red with embarrassment. After all, she was still a naive young girl and was not accustomed to hearing such talk.

But, since her little secret was in someone else’s hands, she had to keep her head down.

She hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed Xiao Zheng’s arm, and cooed, "Ah Zheng, I know I was wrong, please don’t uninstall the firewall, okay?"

"Okay!"

Xiao Zheng stopped, flipped his hair flirtatiously, and shamelessly said, "Bring the money, then we can talk."

"Oh, wait a minute!"

Chu Xiaoran rummaged through her little purse, fortunately, she still had two hundred yuan in cash, which she slapped into Xiao Zheng’s hand, proudly saying, "Now we’re even, don’t even think about blackmailing my live show. Humph!"

With that said, she sashayed away, hips swaying from side to side.

"Stop right there!"

Xiao Zheng pocketed the two hundred yuan and shouted, "That’s not enough!"

What?

Wasn’t it agreed upon—two hundred yuan? What, he wants to charge interest, too?

Chu Xiaoran turned around, fuming and snapped, "Jerk, you’re only worth two hundred yuan per day. Don’t try to scam me."

"Hehe!"

Xiao Zheng smiled darkly, which was rather unsettling, and asked, "Xiao Ran, let me ask you a question. What day is it today?"

"Sunday, why else would I have time to hang out?"

Chu Xiaoran stared at him dumbfounded. Was this guy out of his mind, asking such a stupid question?

Xiao Zheng curled his lips slightly, stood tall and proud, and casually said, "Does Sunday count as a holiday?"

"Of course, it does!"

"According to law, working on holidays means triple pay!"

What?

How could I forget about that?

In her confusion, Chu Xiaoran did the math. Triple the salary, two hundred times three equals six hundred yuan.

No way, I still have to pay off the credit card tomorrow. If I give him six hundred yuan, I won’t have enough for myself!

"Ah Zheng, you only worked half a day, so just three hundred yuan. Yep, I’ve calculated, I’ll treat you to Häagen-Dazs, that offsets one hundred yuan, plus the two hundred from earlier makes up the full three hundred. No problem!"

Damn it.

Treating to Häagen-Dazs counts as an offset of one hundred yuan? Is that even a treat?

"You’re fine, I’m not!" Xiao Zheng looked skyward, dramatically posturing, swinging his leg, looking determined as he calmly said, "Half a day counts as a full day. I was planning on having a little trip or something today, half a day wouldn’t even be enough. So, for wasting half my day, you have to pay for a full one."

"You!"

Chu Xiaoran was so angry she wanted to scream. Stomping her foot, she pouted adorably and said, "Ah Zheng, wait till I get my share of the money from Douyu next month, then I’ll pay you back immediately, how’s that?"

"Next month, huh!" Xiao Zheng nodded pensively, solemnly saying, "Money makes money every night, so next month you’ll give me 1200."

"You! Why don’t you go rob someone?"

Finally losing her patience, Chu Xiaoran pointed at Xiao Zheng’s nose, angrily declared, "Ah Zheng, just you wait, I’ll have my cousin fire you once I get home."

After saying that, she picked up her purse, swayed her little butt, and walked away.
