Chapter 315: I also want to go!

Having figured it out, Ye Cheng also let go, and he spoke openly,

"Ah, right, I went out to sea once with Xiao Rou, and we went fishing together."

"Hmph." Yang Liu gave a light snort, disdainfully saying, "I just made an appointment with Ye Cheng to go out to sea together to see the white dolphin."

"White dolphin? Ye Cheng, you actually didn't call me?" Upon hearing about seeing dolphins, Xiao Rou immediately turned to Ye Cheng.

"You didn't say you wanted to see it."

"If I don't say it, you won't call me? How heartless."

"I..." Ye Cheng was speechless. Women, they're all like this—if you don't say you're going, how would I know you want to go?

"Going out to sea is dangerous, little girl, you'd better not." Yang Liu added fuel to the fire from the side.

Seeing Yang Liu talking about herself, Xiao Rou refused to back down, "My swimming is good, whereas some people look frail as a breeze—I think they'd be blown straight off by the sea wind."

"Hmph, I study the ocean, I wouldn't be afraid of being blown off—last time I fell into the sea, it was Ye Cheng who saved me, right, A Cheng."

"Yes!" Ye Cheng nodded expressionlessly, "Come on, let the storm come even fiercer."

After losing another round, Xiao Rou was displeased, she sat down straight beside Ye Cheng, "I don't care, anyway I also want to go see the dolphin."

"Go!" Ye Cheng said decisively, "Whether we go or not can wait—first let's get past this hurdle."

Several people in the restaurant were already covering their mouths laughing, my scumbag identity is about to be confirmed.

"When then are we going?" Xiao Rou grabbed Ye Cheng's arm and started pressing, while Yang Liu's face across from them had already turned ugly.

"When do you say we're going?" Ye Cheng quickly pulled his hand away and looked toward Yang Liu.

Seeing Ye Cheng pull his hand free, Yang Liu's eyes lit up with a hint of pride, she looked proudly at Xiao Rou,

"I'm going tomorrow."

"Fine, then tomorrow it is." Ye Cheng quickly agreed.

"I'm going tomorrow too!" Xiao Rou immediately followed suit.

"Alright, go! Let's go together!"

Ye Cheng nodded firmly, "A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water—you guys just go ahead and cause trouble."

"Hmph!"

The two women began to stare at each other.

"Ah, um, Xiao Rou, aren't you here to eat with friends?" Ye Cheng quickly reminded her.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Xiao Rou then remembered her actual business, "Then I'll come to the village tomorrow to find you—remember to wait for me."

"Oh, and this older sister, tomorrow we won't part without seeing each other—" Xiao Rou provocatively drew out her voice.

"I'll definitely go tomorrow, little sis, don't get lost—Ye Cheng's village isn't easy to find."

"Tch! I've been there several times."

Xiao Rou said proudly, then turned and bounced away.

Leaving the two of them sitting, Ye Cheng looked embarrassed at Yang Liu, "Don't mind her, she's just a little girl spoiled by her father."

Yang Liu gave a contemptuous snort, "Do I need to bother with her? Alright, I have other things to do, I'm leaving first."

Having said that, Yang Liu stood up straight, picked up her bag, flicked her long hair, and actually left.

Ye Cheng sat there foolishly.

Damn!

Weren't you supposed to pay?

Now you're not even paying for the meal, right?

"Check, please!"

The beauty left, and Ye Cheng had no mood to eat anymore.

A young guy walked over, holding the bill,

"Hello, that's 120 yuan total."

A meal for 120, for two people—indeed it's a dark, pricey Western meal.

Ye Cheng readily pulled out the money and paid; the young guy took the cash with one hand, then gave Ye Cheng a thumbs-up, full of envy,

"Brother, you're awesome."

Ye Cheng's face darkened, "Awesome my ass—didn't you see both women just left?"

This meal—started off bizarrely, ended even more bizarrely.

Xiao Rou showed up like a pesky light bulb, a perfectly good meal just vanished like that—damn it, tomorrow I still have to take two young ladies out to sea, oh my god!

Kid, I did a good deed just now—although I did some bad things when I was young, but I shouldn't be punished this much, right?

Best if those two women are just talking—then tomorrow I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.

Returning to the village with a bored expression, I had originally wanted to go straight home, but I didn't expect a crowd gathered at the village notice board, pointing and gossiping, as if something big were happening.

With the attitude of not letting any gossip slip by, Ye Cheng also squeezed through.

"What's up? What happened? Let me take a look."

Everyone turned back, saw it was Ye Cheng, and immediately made way.

"Lao Er's here, you've made something of yourself."

"Haha, the main character's here—I didn't expect you, Lao Er, to still have this idea."

"Awesome—when I was a kid I saw you as a village loafer, and now you can actually be a candidate."

"Quick, quick, make way for our Lao Er—who knows, he might become our village chief someday."

A bunch of people were chuckling, Ye Cheng glanced—it was the notice for the village committee election, a public posting of candidates, and his name was prominently listed.

Ye Cheng understood in his heart that this should be the result of Duan Chunsheng's maneuvering—this completes the first step.

However, looking at the villagers' reaction, probably no one thinks I could actually win.

Chen Jinhai was actually there too; seeing Ye Cheng approach, the old fox's expression remained normal, "Ye Cheng, our village committee really needs young people like you, the younger generation is promising."

To be honest, Chen Jinhai was a little surprised that Ye Cheng had entered the candidate list; although they always need some token candidates each year, this Ye Cheng is now quite special.

He used to be a village loafer, now he's the village's moneymaking expert; throwing his hat into the ring as a candidate, if he himself were to fail, it would be trouble.

"Uncle Jinhai, you'd better be careful, because if I actually get elected village chief, you'll be embarrassed," Ye Cheng said with a grin.

Chen Jinhai's face darkened; this Ye Cheng is truly not someone to be trifled with.

Lao Er, you really think you can get elected village chief? The village chief position is just meant to have you as a token candidate.

Exactly, how could someone so young possibly be elected village chief?

A few older villagers started speaking up; they were more traditional in thought, believing that a village official like the village chief must be held by an older person.

As soon as they said that, some young people immediately became unhappy and began to rebut.

Second Uncle Grandfather, you can't say that; what's wrong with being young? Young people can't be village chiefs? Do you know the internet? Do you know the outside world? You know nothing.

Exactly, the village chief should keep up with the times; the big leaders are getting younger and younger, yet we keep picking old people for our one village chief.

Exactly, look at neighboring Liu Village—they at least developed a beach, can get some tourists and such; our village has nothing, we can only go out to work for wages.

Right, going to the city to work for wages is hard and you don't get to stay home; you wouldn't understand.

I think Cheng Ge is great—he can make money, he's set up a farm, if he were village chief he might be able to bring us profits, right, Cheng Ge?
