Chapter 258: Chapter 0258: Sophisticated Plan

"How do you plan to establish a towering image?"

Tang Ming was puzzled.

"I plan to..."

Chen Cang leaned over to Tang Ming and whispered in his ear for a while.

"Isn’t this a bad idea, what if it scares the girls?"

Tang Ming furrowed his brows, displeased, and said, "I am Liu Mengting’s bodyguard, and I must protect her if she’s in trouble, you..."

"Don’t worry, brother Ming, I’ll handle it carefully. I’ll appear immediately if she needs, you just need to come out later, and it won’t count as neglecting your duties!"

Chen Cang hurriedly interrupted Tang Ming, pleading earnestly.

Tang Ming hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, "Okay, as long as you don’t go too far, I’ll give you a chance to show yourself."

As long as it didn’t concern Liu Mengting’s personal safety, Tang Ming didn’t bother to interfere much. If Chen Cang dared to overdo it, he’d just beat him up.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Chen Cang almost jumped up, excitedly saying, "If I had known earlier that Brother Ming is so reasonable, we would have become friends sooner. I’ll take care of all your entertainment needs for the next month."

"Forget about entertainment, just often bring me some good food."

Tang Ming tapped the Lingzhi gift box in his hands, giving Chen Cang a "you know what I mean" look.

"No problem."

Chen Cang nodded emphatically, then went off to discuss the night’s plans with Xiao Jun and Houzi.

"Brother Ming, what is Chen Cang up to? I feel like he’s not holding back something good," said Zhou Dafu as soon as Chen Cang had left.

"The moon is dark, the wind is high, spirits roam, better rest soon," Tang Ming muttered before eagerly calling out, "It’s about time to set up the tent, or we won’t have anywhere to stay tonight."

Actually, Tang Ming was eager to consume the Poisonous Ganoderma and begin cultivation.

After enjoying the sunset, the three girls still wanted more and decided to get up early the next morning to watch the sunrise by the beach and continue enjoying the sunrise.

Afterward, the group began setting up camp. Tang Ming and the others’ tents were not far from each other, which not only obeyed school regulations but also provided some private space for a few people.

Liu Mengting, Xia Wei’er, and Li Xiaoli’s tents were set up in a triangle formation, with the tent openings facing each other so that they could see each other’s situations.

This layout was suggested by Li Xiaoli. Initially, Liu Mengting disagreed, but Li Xiaoli argued that if Xia Wei’er’s tent was out of sight, what if Tang Ming sneaked in at night?

Then, Liu Mengting agreed and even suggested that Li Xiaoli invite Xia Wei’er to her tent to play, claiming she would be scared at night.

The sociable Li Xiaoli knew Liu Mengting was worried about Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er meeting privately but did not expose Liu Mengting’s little scheme and cheerfully went to invite Xia Wei’er.

Tang Ming, Zhou Dafu, and Chen Cang’s tents were arranged in a large triangle that enclosed the three girls’ tents, providing a defensive function to ensure the girls’ safety.

At night, it was pitch dark, only the sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed in the night sky, tumultuous yet somewhat sinister in the darkness.

In Chen Cang’s tent, he watched Xiao Jun and Houzi, very pleased.

Houzi was draped in a white bedsheet with two holes cut out for eyes, and splattered with lots of red paint, while Xiao Jun wore a red raincoat and a sinister devil mask on his face.

"Brother Cang, do we really have to pretend to be ghosts?"

Houzi said with a trembling voice: "What if we run into a real ghost in this deserted place?"

"Nonsense, there aren’t such things as ghosts in this world!"

Chen Cang’s heart skipped a beat, but he said calmly:

"Besides, with so many people around, our yang energy is strong; even if there were ghosts, they would avoid us."

"But it’s too dark outside, I’m scared!"

Xiao Jun looked mournfully at the pitch-dark outside.

"Coward, with such little courage, how can you hang out with me? If you mess up my plan today, I’ll kill you!"

Chen Cang warned with a stern face.

Chen Cang’s plan was simple: have Xiao Jun and Monkey dress up as ghosts to scare Liu Mengting. Then, when Liu Mengting needed help, he would step in, chase away Xiao Jun and Monkey, and thus complete the heroic rescue. Not only would this boost his image in Liu Mengting’s heart, but she might even ask him to stay over if she got scared at night, then...

"Alright then!"

Xiao Jun shrank his neck, not daring to say more.

"Bro Cang, if we dress up as ghosts to scare Liu Mengting, won’t Tang Ming send us to the hospital?"

Compared to ghosts, Monkey was more afraid of Tang Ming, the harbinger of doom.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to Tang Ming!"

Chen Cang smiled and reminded,

"You just need to make Liu Mengting and the others feel scared and scream. Don’t really scare them out of their wits. I’ll jump out and chase you away, and then Tang Ming will appear last. This way, I’ll definitely leave a brave and valiant image in Liu Mengting’s heart—she might even fall in love with me, then..."

"Bro Cang is really too smart!"

Xiao Jun and Monkey exchanged glances, impressed by how Chen Cang had managed to handle Tang Ming—that made things a lot easier.

"It’s about time, let’s go!"

Chen Cang adjusted his clothes and hair, saying, "You guys go out and scare people first, and I’ll hide nearby, ready to jump out and play the hero!"

In Liu Mengting’s tent, the three girls were applying beauty masks.

"Wei’er, how does it feel?"

Dressed in a bright red jumpsuit, Li Xiaoli, while adjusting her facial mask, asked Xia Wei’er, who was doing the mask session with them.

"Cool, smooth, and very moisturizing!"

Xia Wei’er answered honestly; it was her first time using such a high-level mask: "I’ve never used a mask before. It feels like every pore is breathing."

"Then you should continue using it; this stuff is really good for your skin!"

Li Xiaoli said with a smile.

"I, I don’t have the money, can’t afford such good stuff."

Xia Wei’er awkwardly said, being poor was nothing to be ashamed of to her.

"You can use ours, we’re friends after all."

Li Xiaoli was very generous.

"Thanks, I’m fine as I am."

Xia Wei’er smiled.

"Wei’er’s skin is as smooth and healthy-looking as ours, even without a mask."

Seeing Li Xiaoli speak without tact, Liu Mengting laughed and changed the subject.

"That’s true; seeing others can really make you jealous."

Agreeing, Li Xiaoli nodded continuously and then curiously asked, "What do you think Brother Tang Ming is doing right now?"

"Whatever he wants, it’s none of my business."

Liu Mengting said nonchalantly.

"He’s probably sleeping, right?"

Xia Wei’er glanced unconsciously toward the door, pondering what Tang Ming could be doing at this time.

"Should we invite Brother Tang Ming over to join us?"

Li Xiaoli excitedly suggested.
