He let out a helpless sigh and put his phone away. "Alright, that’s enough for today. We’ll practice again tomorrow!"
He got up, left the villa, and returned to his own. It was already eleven o’clock at night.
Looking at the empty living room, Fang Chenyi was at a loss for words. ’Man, nights are so lonely when you’re by yourself!’
He sighed, shook his head, washed up, and headed for his bedroom.
But when he pushed open the bedroom door, he froze for a mont, a wave of ecstasy washing over him. There, asleep on his big bed, was none other than his darling wife, Bai nghan!
Seeing that she was sound asleep, Fang Chenyi shook his head, forcing down the restless urge stirring within him. He tiptoed to the bed and carefully slipped in.
...
He slept until daybreak. Groggy, he opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. He couldn’t help but sigh in contentnt. ’Cuddling with my wife is way more comfortable than cuddling with a blanket.’
He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past five in the morning. Fang Chenyi could no longer suppress that restless urge.
Nearly three hours later, it was eight in the morning. Bai nghan barely managed to drag herself out of bed, shooting Fang Chenyi a resentful look:
"I have class this morning! How am I supposed to go now?"
Fang Chenyi chuckled, a little embarrassed but mischievous. "How about you skip class? Then we can... continue our little discussion?"
She shot him an annoyed glare. "Get lost! Only a puppy would want to have a ’discussion’ with you! Now get up!"
The mont the words left her mouth, Fang Chenyi erupted in laughter. "Hahaha! You’re right, you’re right! Only a puppy would have a ’discussion’ with !"
Hearing him say that, Bai nghan instantly realized her slip of the tongue—she’d just inadvertently called herself a puppy!
She stomped her foot with an angry huff, quickly got dressed, and left the bedroom with her lips pursed in a pout. Bai nghan was a model student; there was no way she would ever skip class.
Seeing the way Bai nghan was walking a bit unsteadily, Fang Chenyi didn’t feel right about her driving alone, so he quickly scrambled out of bed and followed her.
Ten minutes later, Fang Chenyi was behind the wheel of Bai nghan’s pink Lamborghini. Beside him, Bai nghan ate a fried dough stick, her face beet red. Her mother’s words were still echoing in her mind. Just as they were leaving the villa, Mrs. Bai had pulled her aside while handing them two servings of fried dough sticks and soy milk, whispering, ’It’s great to be young, but you still need to practice so restraint.’
The more she thought about it, the redder her face grew and the more embarrassed she beca. She took a vicious bite of the fried dough stick in her hand, only to see Fang Chenyi grinning and humming a tune.
That was the last straw. A wave of anger washed over Bai nghan. She reached out and shoved the remaining half of her fried dough stick right into Fang Chenyi’s mouth.
As she stuffed it in his mouth, she pouted, shook her little fist, and said nacingly:
"Hmph! That’ll teach you to gloat! That’ll teach you to sing! How does it feel to have your mouth stuffed full? Not so nice, is it?"
Having reached the pinnacle of life first thing in the morning, Fang Chenyi was naturally in high spirits. He hadn’t heard what Mrs. Bai had said to nghan, so this sudden attack caught him completely off guard. He blinked in surprise, chewing on the large piece of fried dough stick. ’When did feeding beco such a rough affair?’ he wondered.
Hearing Bai nghan’s nacing words, a confused Fang Chenyi subconsciously mumbled through his full mouth:
"Mmm, it’s delicious when you chew with your mouth full! Really delicious!"
She pulled another half of a fried dough stick from the bag, shoved it into Fang Chenyi’s mouth, and then a wicked grin spread across her face:
"Hehe, delicious, is it? Chewing with a full mouth is delicious, huh? Fine. Next ti, I’ll make sure to chew really well when *my* mouth is full! We’ll just see how ’delicious’ it is then!"
At first, he didn’t get it. But the more he chewed, the more sothing felt off. Suddenly, the aning behind Bai nghan’s words dawned on him. A chill shot down his spine, and his whole body shuddered, making the car swerve slightly.
His next glance at Bai nghan was filled with more than a little terror. He felt a distinct chill... down there.
He subconsciously fumbled with the controls and turned the car’s AC temperature down, an awkward look on his face.
Seeing his reaction, Bai nghan finally felt satisfied. She made a goofy face at him and then pointedly turned away.
Seeing this, Fang Chenyi let out a long sigh of relief. ’Looks like I won’t be able to treat Bai nghan to the ’stabilizing force’ again any ti soon.’
The car sped all the way to Yan University. After watching nghan walk into her classroom, Fang Chenyi shook his head with a bitter smile. He stomped on the gas, and the pink Lamborghini shot toward the campus exit.
Once he was off campus, Fang Chenyi decided against returning to the villa. He began cruising around aimlessly, keeping an eye out for any recycling or trash collection points by the side of the road.
Driving past People’s Square again, Fang Chenyi suddenly rembered the spot where he’d found Er Gouzi. That place had a huge cluster of trash cans. Most importantly, the area had heavy foot traffic, aning the variety of junk was much greater. It wasn’t like a residential complex, which mostly just had household waste.
This place was different. The variety of trash was far greater than what you’d find in a neighborhood.
After all, Fang Chenyi’s main motivation for scavenging these days was to get special rewards. A wider variety of trash ant a wider variety of potential special rewards when they were triggered.
For example, the trash cans here contained all sorts of promotional flyers. If the system triggered a special reward while he was handling one, he might get shares in the corresponding company.
On the other hand, if he was scavenging in a residential area and triggered a special reward, he’d most likely just be holding a cardboard box or a plastic water bottle.
With that thought, Fang Chenyi cranked the steering wheel, aiming the car directly for the corner of People’s Square where over a dozen trash cans were clustered together.
The car screeched to a halt beside the trash cans. Staring at the massive pile of junk on the ground, Fang Chenyi’s eyes lit up.
’Looks like I ca at the perfect ti!’ Not only were the dozen or so cans overflowing, but there was even a small mountain of trash piled on the ground!
He pushed open the car door and strode toward the trash cans, quickly pulling a large woven sack from his bag.
’Hehe, my precious little treasures, here I co!’
His trash grabber shot out, and in the next instant, a system notification chid in his mind!
