Chapter 29.2
Editor: Jodi
The mall had a cinema, and Ning Sheng wanted to expose the little devil king to some culture, so he took them there.
Then he chose a newly released documentary.
Ning Sheng: “Four tickets, please…”
Covering his mouth, Xu Ling dragged him away from the counter.
“Four tickets for ‘Super Hero’.” Li Haoyue said at the counter, “We’re primary school students, so can we get a discount?”
“There’s a promotion, so you’ll get a ten yuan discount.” The staff member said in reply, then turned to his colleague, “Kids these days are quite tall.”
Li Haoyue: “We’re just expired primary school students.”
**
The special effects-heavy “Super Hero” left Ning Sheng utterly confused.
However the three beside him were engrossed.
“Is this really good?” Ning Sheng looked sleepy.
The three faces turned to him simultaneously, all wearing 3D glasses.
Ning Sheng: “……”
“It’s good.” Xu Ling told him, “Pay close attention.”
Ning Sheng: “Ah, it’s okay, the hero saving the heroine is quite intense.”
Xu Ling: “That’s his f*cking mom— you can go back to sleep.”
Ning Sheng: “……”
Ning Sheng spent most of the day in the mall with his “dog” and “henchmen”.
Then he bought makeup for Auntie Xu and treated his friends to ice cream.
“Delicious.” Lu Peng said, plopping onto the flower bed.
Xu Ling sat down too.
Ning Sheng was about to scold them when Xu Ling pulled him down to sit on the ground with them.
“The ground has a lot of germs, people step on it, touch it…” Ning Sheng lectured.
“It’s fine, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.” Lu Peng said.
“That’s self-deception!” Ning Sheng said angrily.
However a hand reached over and presented a cold ice cream to his mouth, one that was peanut-flavored and smelled wonderful.
Ning Sheng fell silent.
The glass ceiling of the mall allowed them see the blue sky above.
Time seemed to stretch forever.
And a group of junior high school students, wearing new clothes, were sitting by the flower bed, eating ice cream.
“It tastes better when you eat it like this.” Xu Ling snatched the small spoon from Ning Sheng’s hand, “Really.”
Ning Sheng lowered his head and took a bite of the ice cream.
En, the taste seemed pretty good.
Lu Peng and Li Haoyue were arguing about something, while Xu Ling used the stolen spoon to sneak bites of Ning Sheng’s ice cream.
And seeing this, Ning Sheng suddenly thought, it’s not so bad, he didn’t dislike this local dog anymore.
They sat by the flower bed for a while, and as evening approached, Ning Sheng asked, “Is there anything else we need to do? If not, we should head back.”
Lu Peng replied, “What else is there besides playing?”
Li Haoyue said, “I feel like there’s something I have…”
“I have something.” Xu Ling said.
Ning Sheng: “?”
Xu Ling directed the driver to take them to the entrance of a city attraction.
It was then that Ning Sheng realized that the little devil king had packed a backpack full of leaf-woven toys.
The attraction was crowded on the weekend, and Xu Ling sold each toy for 30 yuan.
Ning Sheng: “……”
Sure enough, if there’s a seller, there’s a buyer. In less than half an hour, Xu Ling was counting a handful of cash as he climbed back into the Maybach.
“Are we done now?” Ning Sheng asked.
Xu Ling: “Yes, we’re done.”
The Maybach drove back from the city to Qing’an Town, first dropping Li Haoyue off at the orchard entrance, then leaving Lu Peng at the butcher’s shop, and finally stopping in front of Ning Sheng’s small villa.
“Sleep at my place.” Ning Sheng said firmly, “You haven’t learned flower arranging this week.”
Xu Ling: “……”
In the group chat [Four Golden Suns] : (4):
[Math is so great, I love math] : Ghost.jpg
[Ning] : ?
[Ling] : ?
[Math is so great, I love math] : Do you guys remember, in the beginning, it was me who asked you to come to the city with me.
[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : ……I vaguely remember.
[Math is so great, I love math] : I forgot to buy my math book!
[Math is so great, I love math] : I let math down, I cheated on it.
[Ning] : ……
[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : My dad said, to thank you all for helping catch the pigs, he’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.
[Ning] : 1
[Ling] : 1
[Math is so great, I love math] : But my cousin is getting married tomorrow, Ai.
[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : No problem.
[Math is so great, I love math] : No, I still want to crash your meal, I’ll be there.
The next morning, Ning Sheng was shaken awake from his sleep by Xu Ling, and outside the villa, a vehicle was parked——
It was a tractor.
“Lu Peng’s dad is so generous?” Ning Sheng asked, “Even providing a ride for us to eat.”
“Get on.” Xu Ling grabbed his hand, pulling him onto the tractor, “Sit on this straw.”
Ning Sheng’s disgust was evident: “The straw has a smell.”
“It doesn’t smell?” Lu Peng squatted on the ground sniffing.
“I don’t want to ride the tractor, I want to walk.” Ning Sheng added, “Don’t bother me.”
Xu Ling: “I…”
“You actually want me to walk to the dinner!!!” Ning Sheng pounced on him.
Xu Ling: “……”
The straw on the tractor was scattered everywhere.
The tractor picked up Li Haoyue at the orchard entrance, then slowly and ceremoniously made its way to the neighboring village.
An hour later, in the neighboring village, beside a wedding banquet, Li Haoyue was dumbfounded.
“You invited me to dinner… at my own family’s banquet?!” The math nerd pointed at his cousin who was getting married not far away, “Is this what you meant by ‘no problem’?!”
Lu Peng: “Yes, there aren’t any conflicts.”
“Don’t you think this is a bit unethical???” Li Haoyue jumped in fury.
“Don’t worry, my dad gave 100 yuan as a gift.” Lu Peng told him.
Ning Sheng stood on tiptoe, imitating Xu Ling’s usual actions, placing a hand on Xu Ling’s shoulder: “Is the wedding banquet food good?”
“Stay here, I’ll find you something good to eat.” Xu Ling grabbed a bowl, “Forget it, just follow me.”
“I don’t want to.” Ning Sheng sat down.
Xu Ling circled around Ning Sheng, taking a two-meter radius, then came back with a bowl full of food.
However it just so happened that the bride was throwing her bouquet, and it landed right in Ning Sheng’s arms.
Ning Sheng: “?”
This bouquet has no artistic sense at all.
He untied the ribbon tied around the upright flowers, adjusted the flowers and plants, then tied the ribbon again.
“They say the bouquet is for the next bride, but it hit princess, so when princess gets married, do you think we can have an even better banquet?” Lu Peng asked, a small lobster in his mouth.
“Princess won’t hold a banquet, city folks always go to big hotels.” Li Haoyue said, munching on a small scallop.
“We won’t go to a hotel, I think my family plans to have it on a cruise.” Ning Sheng recalled family weddings, “Playing while sailing.”
“Wow.” Lu Peng’s mouth gaped, “What’s a cruise?”
“It’s… a really big ship.” Ning Sheng gestured.
Lu Peng: “So when you get married… Dog Xu, don’t bite the crab directly.”
Lu Peng: “Are you challenging its shell with your teeth?”
Stunned, Xu Ling opened his mouth and took the crab out. It had a row of teeth marks on its shell.
Tsk, he got distracted.
Xu Ling: “Biting directly tastes better.”
Ning Sheng: “?”
“When you eat ribs, why don’t you hug the pig and bite directly?” Ning Sheng asked.
He shoved the neatly arranged bouquet into Xu Ling’s arms, “Look at my arrangement, doesn’t it look different immediately.”
“Yes.” Xu Ling said, “It’s beautiful.”
Ning Sheng: “Hmph, then you should learn well.”
“Is this for me?” Xu Ling shook the bouquet in his hand.
Ning Sheng: “Then help me throw it away.”
Lu Peng’s dad wasn’t completely without conscience.
Because after the banquet, he gave each of the three a pink, chubby piglet.
This was the first time Ning Sheng had seen a piglet up close, and so he held it tightly, refusing to let go.

[Ling] : @Math is so great, I love math, where’s your piglet?
[Math is so great, I love math] : Digesting in the stomach, almost in the small intestine.
[Math is so great, I love math] : Roasting a suckling pig with fruitwood, it’s delicious and crunchy.
[Math is so great, I love math] : Where’s yours?
[Ling] : On my bed.
[Math is so great, I love math] : Planning to have it as a bedtime snack?
[Ling] : My head hurts, princess wants to raise pigs.
[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : ……
