At noon, they had lunch at a restaurant in Water World. In the afternoon, they experienced the artificial waves and thrilling rafting before finally leaving.
In the afternoon, they went to see a movie with a pretty good reputation. As they walked out of the theater, Lin Wan received a call from Huang Xiumin.
"What's up?" Lu Zheng asked.
Lin Wan frowned and sighed, "The matchmaking failed."
Lu Zheng blinked, "Shouldn't you have a al and vent about it?"
"Exactly…" Lin Wan smacked her lips and looked back at Lu Zheng.
"So, my mission is completed and I can go ho now, right?" Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"Well…" Lin Wan couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about," Lu Zheng laughed. "It's rare for you not to have a superficial friendship with Huang Xiumin. Of course, you should go console her on this matter. Go on. By the way, do you guys drink? I can pick you up later."
"Thank you!" Lin Wan gave him a sweet kiss. "Xiumin drinks, and I'll have to accompany her a bit. You can pick us up later and drop Xiumin ho too."
"Sure!" Lu Zheng nodded.
Lin Wan gave a soft smile, leaned in close to Lu Zheng, and whispered, "I'll make it up to you tonight."
They walked out of the cinema, and Lu Zheng drove Lin Wan to her destination, where he saw Huang Xiumin waiting not far away.
Lu Zheng didn't go too close, just greeted from afar, and then saw Huang Xiumin happily greet Lin Wan. They both turned and entered the mall.
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin. Huang Xiumin didn't really seem upset, did she?
...
In the mall, Huang Xiumin had an extrely strong desire to rant, and she pulled Lin Wan to start talking non-stop.
Lin Wan had a bewildered look, "Why did you sound so upset on the phone just now?"
"Tch! You've been forgetting friends over beauty; if I weren't a bit upset, you'd either not co or bring your man along. How could I vent in front of him?"
Lin Wan righteously said, "Am I that kind of person?"
"You tell , ever since you got a man, hasn't your frequency of going shopping with plumted?" Huang Xiumin said.
Lin Wan said speechlessly, "Having a man ans besties fall to second place. Isn't that quite normal?"
Huang Xiumin gave Lin Wan a sidelong glance, "Have you ever considered what your single bestie feels?"
Lin Wan replied with a smile, "Then you should find one too!"
"It's not that easy. Once they hear about my work hours and status and my short-term plan not to have kids, it's mostly a no-go." Huang Xiumin shrugged but didn't mind. It was clear she wasn't too keen on finding a boyfriend.
...
After dropping off Lin Wan, Lu Zheng couldn't be bothered to cook at ho, so he found a parking lot, parked the car, and then traveled back in ti to the past.
Opening the bedroom door, the first thing Lu Zheng saw as he stepped out was Yue Honghai sitting under the persimmon tree, telling stories to two little girls sitting on small stools. The driver Old Huang, along with Uncle Li and Aunt Liu, were also listening in.
"...Then I turned around and covered the sea, smacking that big fish back into the ocean with one slap!"
"Wow—"
"Whoa! So amazing!"
Then they saw Lu Zheng.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Sir!"
Lu Zheng nodded and patted the heads of the two approaching little girls, "Listening to stories?"
Liu Qingquan and Ao Qian nodded, "Mr. Yue's stories are really interesting too."
Yue Honghai laughed heartily on the side, looking very satisfied. He was usually called Old Demon, Ancestor, Senior, or Little Yue, Yue Big Mouth, Little Crocodile. When had he ever been addressed as Mr.?
But it did sound quite nice.
"Are you having dinner at ho tonight, sir?" Aunt Liu asked.
Lu Zheng nodded, "At ho…"
"Brother-in-law!"
"Brother-in-law!"
Liu Qingquan and Ao Qian called out in unison.
"What's up?" Lu Zheng blinked and looked at them, puzzled.
Liu Qingquan licked her lips, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat your crispy chicken."
Ao Qian giggled, "Brother-in-law, make us so squirrel fish."
The two little girls looked at Lu Zheng, blinking their big eyes, all sparkly, making it hard for him to refuse.
Lu Zheng, "…"
But I ca back because I was too lazy to cook!
...
After making crispy chicken and squirrel fish, Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao returned from Renxin Hall to share the al and then took the two little girls ho.
Lu Zheng ntioned to everyone that he wanted to cultivate behind closed doors, and then he traveled back to the present.
...
After picking up Lin Wan and Huang Xiumin, Lu Zheng drove to drop off Huang Xiumin first, then went ho with Lin Wan.
In the elevator, Lu Zheng asked, "I saw Huang Xiumin was quite cheerful, not like soone devastated from a failed matchmaking."
Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh, "She just wanted soone to rant to. It's a private conversation among won, sothing n can't join in on."
"Oh? Can't join?" Lu Zheng raised his brows, intentionally saying, "What's the topic? I must hear it!"
"Want to hear?" Lin Wan's eyes narrowed.
"I want to hear!" Lu Zheng said, while opening the door, in a cooperative tone.
"Snap!" Lin Wan turned back to close the door.
"Snap!" Lin Wan pinned Lu Zheng to the back of the door, then wrapped her arms around Lu Zheng's neck, and with a charming smile, leaned in to whisper in Lu Zheng's ear, "Then let's see if you can make talk~"
...
Lu Zheng gave his all, and thirty seconds later, Lin Wan indeed started talking, but what she said seed unrelated to the private topic, and at that mont, Lu Zheng wasn't really interested in that topic anymore.
...
The next morning, Lu Zheng played with Lin Wan's hair, brushing her nose.
"Mmm—"
Lin Wan sniffed, opened her dreamy eyes, pulled Lu Zheng closer, and extended her long legs out from under the quilt.
"Sleep a bit more…"
"You can't sleep anymore, if you do, the typhoon will make landfall directly." Lu Zheng said.
"Hmm?" Lin Wan's eyes suddenly beca clear, "The typhoon is approaching?"
"Isn't it?"
"Then let's hurry and depart!"
...
In Kyushu Island, Japan, a typhoon with a diater of several hundred kiloters was approaching.
At the center of the typhoon, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were in position, adjusting the typhoon's path.
Lin Wan held a detailed satellite map, which marked the Lighthouse Country's military bases around Kyushu Island.
"Nagasaki Naval Base." Lin Wan pointed to a spot on the map, "This is one of the seven major military bases of the Lighthouse Country in Japan."
"Sounds quite important. I heard there are over a hundred military bases of the Lighthouse Country in Japan?"
"Oh, not that many." Lin Wan said coolly, "Eighty-eight, which is quite auspicious. I'm not sure if it's a number the Japanese requested from their boss."
Lu Zheng shook his head, not knowing what to say. Eighty-eight military bases, and yet they claim not to be occupied?
Oh well, at least this gives us sothing to enjoy today.
Lu Zheng controlled the typhoon's path, aiming for the area near the calm eye of the storm where the wind is the most powerful, to pass through the military bases and destroy as much as possible.
He had no interest in creating storms to cause havoc everywhere, but with this opportunity, he decided to make the most of it.
And the next mont, Typhoon Dragonfly finally made landfall in Nagasaki.
"Boom!"
The fierce winds swept through, and the waves surged high. Lu Zheng simultaneously cast the "Western Extre Wind-Calling Curse" and "Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique" to ensure the typhoon's destructive power and to maintain the ferocious waves even as it entered the harbor.
...
After the typhoon's rampage, the event made headlines.
"Typhoon Dragonfly's Destructive Power Shocks! Lighthouse Country Cruiser Severely Damaged! One Destroyer and One Frigate Capsized and Sunk!"
"It is reported that the naval base incurred direct losses approaching 20 billion US dollars."
"Reports say that several hundred thousand residents of Nagasaki City have taken refuge from their hos."
