Zhang Chao was stunned, not expecting Zhang Wei to agree so quickly:
"Haha, then it's settled. You can't go back on your word once you've said it."
"I won't."
Zhang Wei said with a smile, and continued, "But you'll have to pay for the figurines."
"No problem, it's just the cost of figurines. Even though I'm poor, I can still afford a wall of figurines. Besides, it's just one Balala the Fairies figurine, we'll go buy it tomorrow."
Zhang Chao waved his hand generously:
"But I can't take advantage of you for nothing. The old man is your ghost, you can't just let it bless me for free. I'll give you some blessing fees. And I remember you really like buying figurines, Zhang Wei. You pick one tomorrow, and I'll pay for it."
...
The next day, early in the morning.
The haunted hotel, in Zhang Wei's room.
Knock, knock, knock.
For the Balala the Fairies figurine that needed blessing, Zhang Chao arrived at Zhang Wei's door early in the morning to knock.
But as soon as Zhang Chao finished washing up and got dressed to go out.
Knock, knock, knock.
His door was knocked first.
Opening the door, Zhang Chao said in surprise:
"Holy crap, Zhang Wei, why are you up so early? I thought I was early enough. You're putting a lot of pressure on me, you know? As a temporary worker, you're more nine-to-five than I am, a regular employee."
In Zhang Chao's opinion, he thought Zhang Wei was up early because he was now a temporary worker for the Wei Dao Division and had to work nine-to-five.
Regarding this.
Zhang Wei smiled and replied:
"No, no, no. I know the employees of the Wei Dao Division have flexible hours. It's fine to sleep until noon, as long as it doesn't interfere with ghost catching. Sister Mei told me yesterday."
"I'm up so early to ask you to buy figurines."
Zhang Chao heard this and said:
"Damn, you're more anxious than I am."
"Of course. You know, for us anime fans, nothing can make us get up early except anime," Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Now I understand why they say Fujian people chase stars. They'd never get up early. But when you mention worshipping Buddha, they're up before the roosters even crow. Is this the power of faith? I love it, I love it."
Zhang Chao spoke.
Zhang Wei grinned:
"Haha, that's true. But Zhang Chao, you're up pretty early too. You didn't sleep last night, did you?"
Zhang Wei noticed that Zhang Chao's eyes were a little dark, as if he hadn't slept much last night.
Faced with the question.
Zhang Chao did not hide it:
"Heh heh, you found out. I really didn't sleep last night. After the ghost king died, I went back and chatted with that maid girl from yesterday for most of the night. I only slept for less than 3-4 hours."
He spread his hands and smiled, giving Zhang Wei a knowing look:
"Can't be helped. You're my wingman, so I can't waste Brother Wei's help. Plus, today is 520, so I was thinking after we buy the figurines, I'll go find the maid girl. She agreed to go on a date with me today yesterday."
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Wei gave Zhang Chao a thumbs up:
"Little Chao, you're doing great. The progress is quite impressive."
"Of course. With Brother Wei as my wingman, how could it not be?"
"You flatter me, you flatter me."
After some mutual praise, Zhang Wei and the others left the hotel and took a taxi to the nearest figurine store.
On the way.
Seeing Zhang Chao chatting with the maid girl on his phone, Zhang Wei smiled and also picked up his phone. Since he was in Sichuan Province, he sent 520 red envelopes to Qiu Xiaolin and Lu Lianxue.
Soon.
Qiu Xiaolin sent a message.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Happy 520, Little Wei. You've only been out of the province for a day and you miss this empress.
[Zhang Wei]: Yes, yes, Your Majesty makes me miss you so much. Even when I'm in another province, I can't help but think of every night with Your Majesty.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: *covers mouth and smiles.jpg*
[Qiu Xiaolin]: I don't believe you. With your personality, you've definitely strayed. You might have been flirting with girls yesterday. My heart is so cold, so cold.
[Zhang Wei]: Hahaha, you found out.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Of course. I know you inside and out.
[Zhang Wei]: Indeed. We've known each other for so long, we definitely know each other 'root' and 'bottom'.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: You're so glib and driving again. Tell me, which girl have you been flirting with now?
[Zhang Wei]: A maid lady. But don't worry, I have you and Xiao Xue, so I cruelly rejected the lady's kind invitation.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Rejected? Tell me the details. *squints.jpg*
[Zhang Wei]: I rejected her yesterday and we agreed to meet in a few days, hahaha.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: I'll hit you.
[Zhang Wei]: I'm kidding. I don't plan to go. By the way, why don't you seem angry?
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Because I know you won't go, Little Wei. I believe you. After all, you said you know me inside and out.
[Zhang Wei]: *grins widely.jpg*
[Zhang Wei]: Then, Your Majesty, since I've been so good, can you reward me? Like wearing a maid outfit.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: I knew you had ulterior motives. But since you've been so good, alright. *covers mouth and smiles.jpg*
They chatted for a while.
Since Qiu Xiaolin still had classes, Zhang Wei didn't bother her further.
However, before ending the chat, Qiu Xiaolin sent him a message.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Oh, right, Little Wei, I almost forgot to tell you, our Empress Nangong has a surprise for you.
Zhang Wei knew who Empress Nangong was; it was Lu Lianxue.
Qiu Xiaolin didn't keep him in suspense and continued to send messages.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Xiao Xue said yesterday that she had handled her brother's affairs. Did Xiao Xue tell you about this?
[Zhang Wei]: Yes, the class monitor told me yesterday.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Then Xiao Xue originally planned to catch up on progress after returning. After all, since I told Xiao Xue we'd both pursue you, she hasn't had a formal date with you yet. She was thinking of performing well this time, but then you ran off to Sichuan Province.
Upon seeing this message, Zhang Wei had a guess.
At this moment.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: So, for Xiao Xue's sake, I'm going to give all of my 520 to Xiao Xue. I'm going to class now.
Looking at Qiu Xiaolin's message, Zhang Wei smiled.
Immediately after.
After replying to Qiu Xiaolin, Lu Lianxue also sent a message.
[Lu Lianxue]: Happy 520~.
[Lu Lianxue]: I just got off the plane and turned on my phone to see the messages.
[Zhang Wei]: Off the plane? Didn't you return to Lusha City yesterday, Class Monitor?
[Lu Lianxue]: Yes, I returned to Lusha City. But I'm not in Lusha City right now. Guess where I am.
[Zhang Wei]: You're not here with me, are you? *grins.jpg*
[Lu Lianxue]: (*^▽^*) Bingo! You guessed it. Surprise, isn't it?
Looking at Lu Lianxue's message.
Zhang Wei was stunned. When the surprise was mentioned earlier, he had vaguely guessed that the class monitor might be coming over. After all, they had agreed to go on a date, and he didn't expect Lu Lianxue to actually come.
His heart couldn't help but warm.
Without hesitation, Zhang Wei sent a message to Lu Lianxue.
[Zhang Wei]: Very surprised. *heart emoji.jpg*
[Zhang Wei]: Class Monitor, wait for me at the airport. I'll come pick you up now.
Immediately after.
Zhang Chao, who was beside Zhang Wei, said:
"Zhang Chao, let's discuss something. After we buy the figurines, how about we go to the airport first?"
"Huh? Why go to the airport?"
"To pick up the class monitor."
