Chapter 48: Should one embrace the man or retreat knowingly?
"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."
Before he could even sit down at the bar, Lu Ziqiao made an excuse and left.
Watching Lu Ziqiao, who claimed he was going to the restroom but ended up chatting up a beautiful woman drinking alone, Martin remarked, "He really is a womanizer who likes to deceive naive young girls."
Chen Meijia pursed her lips, already used to it, and turned to chat with Guan Gu Shenqi about everyday things.
"Guan Gu-kun, besides drawing, what else do you like to do?"
Guan Gu Shenqi said in his unique accent, "Besides drawing, I also like playing games."
"Anything else?" Chen Meijia nodded.
"Uh, I occasionally watch TV series." Guan Gu Shenqi racked his brains before coming up with another hobby.
"That's it?" Chen Meijia looked at Guan Gu Shenqi in astonishment.
I don't have many hobbies.
Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head sheepishly.
"It's okay, it's okay."
To appease Guan Gu Shenqi's feelings, Chen Meijia waved her hand, then lowered her head shyly and said, "I just like boys with few hobbies."
Guan Gu, whose eyes were usually small and round, miraculously recovered and quickly changed the subject: "Uh... Mei, Meijia, what about you? What are your hobbies?"
"Well... I really enjoy things like reading comics and cooking, but if I had to pick my favorite, it would be..."
Martin Shinri chimed in, "Hooking up rich guys~"
"You're absolutely right. Going fishing for rich guys is the happiest time of my life." Martin's skill was successfully activated, causing Chen Meijia to be led astray.
Realizing what had happened, Chen Meijia angrily yelled, "Xiao Xin, stop talking nonsense!"
Martin scratched his ear dismissively.
"Um, what does 'fishing for rich guys' mean? Is it an idiom?"
Guan Gu Shenqi really acted like a sucker.
Martin explained, "Fishing for a sucker is all about... mmm..."
Chen Meijia covered Martin's mouth and said with a dry laugh, "Xiao Xin, go to the bathroom and see if Zi Qiao is done yet. Why hasn't he come back for so long? I'm a little worried about him. Go quickly."
Martin was ruthlessly driven away just like that.
He looked around and soon spotted Lu Ziqiao chatting with a young woman.
"Daddy, what are you saying to that pretty lady?"
The two, who had just been chatting and laughing, suddenly froze.
"You have kids and you still hit on me? What a jerk!"
Snapped--
"what!"
Lu Ziqiao was slapped to the ground, covering his face and protesting, "Linda, let me explain! He's not my son! He... he's my grandfather... ugh! I don't know him at all! Linda, you have to believe me, Linda!"
The girl named Linda didn't even glance at Lu Ziqiao, picked up her bag, and walked away without looking back.
Lu Ziqiao covered his face in disbelief and looked at Martin, who was pretending to be innocent.
"Damn it, who's your father?!"
Martin said innocently, "I was just joking, I didn't expect it to be this serious, I'm so sorry."
He almost vomited blood when he saw Martin, who showed absolutely no sincerity.
Could you be any more perfunctory?
"Why are you here instead of staying with Meijia and Guangu?" Lu Ziqiao sat down listlessly, drinking his beer in frustration.
Martin said with feigned seriousness, "Mika sent me to find you. She told me to tell you she's pregnant with your baby~"
"Pfft...cough cough cough..."
The beer that Lu Ziqiao was drinking poured out like Victoria Falls.
"You little brat, how can you just spout off about things like that!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Ziqiao hugged Martin and pressed his fingers hard against Martin's temples.
"Ah~ Ah~~"
Martin was being pressed down and was screaming incoherently.
When everyone around him turned to look, even with his thick skin, Lu Ziqiao had no choice but to flee.
Lu Ziqiao carried Martin back to Guan Gu Shenqi's side and sat down.
Guan Gu Shenqi, who had been teased by Chen Meijia, felt like he had seen a savior. He quickly distanced himself from Chen Meijia and asked, "Ziqiao, what happened to your face?"
Chen Meijia looked at the five clearly visible handprints on Lu Ziqiao's right cheek and said gloatingly, "Oh, so you got dumped while trying to pick up a girl? I didn't hear anyone yell 'pervert'."
Lu Ziqiao snorted irritably, pointed at Martin through gritted teeth, his indignation overflowing.
"It's all because of this brat! He messed things up when I was about to succeed, preventing me from reaching second base and even getting slapped!"
Guan Gu gave Lü Ziqiao a sympathetic look.
Chen Meijia picked up Martin and praised him with a smile, "Xiao Xin, well done! I'll treat you to watermelon this afternoon!"
Just as Lu Ziqiao was covering half his face and accusing Martin, a square-faced man sat down next to Lu Ziqiao and stared straight at him.
Sensing the ill-intentioned look, Lü Ziqiao stiffened and awkwardly got up to sit down next to Chen Meijia.
As a result, the square-faced man openly followed him and continued to sit next to Lu Ziqiao, watching him.
This action made the other three realize that something was amiss.
Feeling uneasy under the man's gaze, Lü Ziqiao feigned composure and asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
The square-faced man asked calmly, "Do you believe in fate?"
"what?"
Lu Ziqiao was taken aback.
This sounds so familiar...
The square-faced man said without any change in expression, "I've been watching you for a long time. It must be fate that brought us together. I'm hopelessly in love with you, baby."
Everyone: "Huh?!"
Is it that exciting?
Lu Ziqiao was ashamed.
"Hey buddy, stop joking around, I'm a guy!"
"Don't be confined by the framework of common sense."
"ha?"
Lu Ziqiao contracted his sphincter muscles and clenched his anus tightly, desperately trying to think of a solution. After glancing at Chen Meijia and Martin beside him, he had a sudden inspiration and pointed at them.
"I...I still have a wife and children!"
Upon hearing this, the square-faced man's expression finally changed, and his voice rose: "Oh~~~ I love you even more now~"
"What?!"
Lu Ziqiao thought he was already weird enough, but who would have thought that he would meet someone even weirder than him today!
Having exhausted all other options, Lü Ziqiao turned to look at Martin and his two companions who had been eavesdropping nearby.
"Potatoes, potatoes, please save me!"
His voice trembled.
"Uh...feed? What? Teacher Zeng is going into labor? Okay, okay, I'll go back right now!" Chen Meijia hesitated for a moment, then pointed her finger into her ear and mumbled something, before taking the opportunity to grab Martin and run away quickly.
Lu Ziqiao opened his mouth, then looked at Guan Gu Shenqi with pleading eyes.
Guan Gu, save me~
"I...I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished my comic yet, so I'll have to take my leave!"
Unable to withstand the pressure, Guan Gu Shenqi fled the scene in a panic.
"Hey! Hey! That's so disloyal!" Lu Ziqiao looked at the three people who had fled in a hurry with a constipated expression.
Turning his head, the square-faced man's lips almost kissed Lu Ziqiao's, which were inches away.
Startled, Lü Ziqiao stumbled and fell from his chair to the ground. He crawled backward, bracing himself on his hands, and said nervously, "I...I'm warning you, I'm the eighteenth generation descendant of Lü Bu. I can kill people like slicing melons and vegetables. You'd better not do anything reckless!"
The square-faced man stood up and gently pulled Lü Ziqiao up.
"Baby, please accept my love and let's officially date."
"don't want--!!!"
As the thick lips drew ever closer, Lü Ziqiao froze, letting out a bloodcurdling scream.
The entire bar shook three times.
