Chapter 530: Chapter 348 My Genius Strategy_3
"Shit, he’s eating better than me!" Zhang Chi was initially a bit pleased, but that quickly disappeared.
So, he paid extra attention to the table opposite him, where a little boy was standing on a stool to eat, looking utterly lawless.
Zhang Chi felt annoyed but didn’t start any trouble. His large portion of stir-fried pork had arrived, and he quickly picked up his chopsticks and began gobbling down the meat.
The dish was indeed delicious, and the money was well spent.
The little boy at the opposite table was like a little emperor—two old people kept adding food to his plate, coaxing him to eat, and even poured his water for him.
Even so, the little boy barely ate. He kept asking for water, playing on his cellphone, swinging the stool around, yelling and shouting, making it annoying for anyone nearby.
It ruined Zhang Chi’s good mood while eating his meat.
He had no connection with the little boy and hadn’t provoked him at all when suddenly, without any warning, the little boy raised the ceramic spoon in his hand and threw it right at Zhang Chi’s face.
The spoon hit Zhang Chi’s eye, making him shut it in reaction. Although the boy wasn’t very strong, the spoon was ceramic and it hurt when it hit his face.
Zhang Chi looked up and saw the little boy still smiling, completely heartless.
The two old people were also smiling, showing no intention of apologizing. The old grandfather even looked at his grandson with indulgent affection.
Zhang Chi exploded with anger, not tolerating anyone who dared to provoke him. It took the courage of a lion!
"Motherfucker!"
He wiped his face, cleaning off the food that had splattered on it.
Zhang Chi, who dared to even hit Qi Tianheng, wouldn’t hesitate to hit a child.
He quickly took three steps forward, grabbed the little boy’s hair, and delivered a slap that sent him sprawling to the ground, wailing miserably.
The smiles on the old peoples’ faces disappeared instantly, their expressions changing rapidly, especially the grandfather who glared and seemed ready to retaliate.
Zhang Chi pointed at his face and cursed angrily, "If you keep blabbing, I’ll beat you up along with him!"
Although Zhang Chi was a high school freshman, he had an exceptional build, much stronger than the average senior student, and he indeed dared to fight, making his threat no empty promise.
The old man choked back his words.
Zhang Chi left the restaurant with a stern face.
...
Evening self-study ended.
In the early summer night, the sky flowed with a blue river of stars.
A faint light emanated from the River Dam Bungalow, barely noticeable among the myriad lights of countless homes.
And it was this insignificant presence that carried the lives of many people.
Xue Yuantong got out of the car seat and entered her bedroom, turned on the light, which flickered twice then went out.
She tried to turn it on again, but it didn’t respond.
"Is the light broken?"
Xue Yuantong pouted. Every time the light broke, she had to spend money on a new bulb, find a chair, stack a stool on it, then get her mom to change the bulb—it was such a hassle.
She always worried her mom might fall from the unstable stool.
She thought of Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning could definitely do it easily, just needing to stand on a chair without stacking a stool.
’No, no, Jiang Ning is too mischievous, he’d probably just make fun of me.’
After considering all her options, Xue Yuantong finally had a brilliant thought. She switched the light off, then turned on the desk lamp which only lit the area around the desk.
She hid her eraser under the pillow and then dashed into Jiang Ning’s room with her crisp voice ringing out:
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, I lost my eraser, can you help me find it?"
She grabbed Jiang Ning’s arm and dragged him towards her house.
Where she hid the eraser was sneaky, and Jiang Ning would have to turn on the light to look for it, then seeing the light was broken, he would think he broke it; hence, he ought to help her change the bulb.
Xue Yuantong thought to herself, ’I’m really a genius!’
Jiang Ning walked into her room.
Inside her heart, Xue Yuantong screamed: ’Quick, hit the switch, fall into my trap!’
Jiang Ning, with his Divine Sense, scanned everything in the room at once.
He lifted the pillow, found the eraser, and dangled it in front of Xue Yuantong, shaking it: "Here it is."
Xue Yuantong was utterly outwitted: "Damn it!"
Jiang Ning said: "You know nothing about my power."
