Chapter 261

However, Fang Ziye hadn't been frivolous for long — not even half an hour — before he was defeated by the calculated bill.

From Enshi, flying a round trip to Los Angeles, just the airfare alone, within nearly a week, the minimum cost was thirteen thousand seven hundred twenty-three.

And the minimum cost undoubtedly required the longest time, needing three transfers. Fly from Enshi to Magic Capital, then transfer from Magic Capital to Eastern Han's Xia City, then take off from Xia City...

And an even more embarrassing matter was that the money currently on Fang Ziye's card wasn't enough for thirteen thousand, short by two thousand.

Although Fang Ziye's Hua Biao had a limit, Hua Biao's limit still wasn't enough. And the two couldn't be combined, so Fang Ziye had to use Jiebiao first to make it work...

"Senior Brother, how about you don't go." After learning Fang Ziye's planned itinerary, Lan Tianluo only felt 'romantic' for a while, now he started beating a retreat for Fang Ziye again.

Indeed, Fang Ziye daring to impulsively run abroad indeed proved Fang Ziye cared about Luo Tingzhu!

But, no matter how bad Luo Tingzhu's relationship with himself was, he himself was a Cabbage Guard, Fang Ziye's current evolved role was a pig's role ah!

Lan Tianluo himself wasn't old, he felt his sister was also still young, not yet at the time where she must marry off early.

"No, I must go." Fang Ziye shook his head, he was already slightly impulsive/reckless.

"But, you can't even afford a hotel." Lan Tianluo said heart-piercingly.

"Me?" Fang Ziye had no choice but to be pulled back to reality by Lan Tianluo's words.

"Senior Brother, and also, you can't even afford to treat someone to eat..."

Fang Ziye finally returned to the human world, when he stopped wild thoughts, he discovered that the money he just borrowed from Jiebiao, today still couldn't be repaid, at the earliest tomorrow could repay, meaning he had to pay a few yuan interest for it to count!

Grand romantic undertaking half-done collapsed in poverty.

At this moment, Fang Ziye suddenly became very clear-headed, many times, what girls like isn't money, but many things girls like actually cost a lot of money.

Or rather, if you can be very rich, you can become more romantic, witty, humorous than others...

"Stop talking! Not going, can't go at all." Fang Ziye looked at this Cabbage Guard who specialized in piercing hearts, reached out to stop him.

"Having over ten thousand, twenty thousand yuan, what can't I do with it?"

Fang Ziye walked into his own room, leaving Lan Tianluo in the living room, corners of mouth carrying an inexplicable smile, as if feeling he himself had fulfilled some kind of guardianship destiny, proud beyond measure.

'Still want to freeload my sister's room? Dream on!!! Haha.' Lan Tianluo thought with a bit of malicious amusement.

Fang Ziye's side's early morning was also Luo Tingzhu's side's noon.

Luo Tingzhu originally planned to eat hot pot with Senior Sister, but Fang Ziye chatted with her many times, and also agreed to video call, so Luo Tingzhu ordered a pizza and gnawed on it alone.

"Eight-inch pizza, I can't finish alone. But no one to share." Luo Tingzhu opened the outer packaging while sharing its currently still intact outline with Fang Ziye, while expressing regret.

"Foreign pizza, is it much tastier than domestic? Just like, you said foreign hot pot, taste seems not as good as domestic ordinary hot pot." Fang Ziye asked curiously.

Fang Ziye wasn't anxious at all.

"Mm, because I wanted to try other countries' hot pot, their hot pot and our country's hot pot have big differences, maybe we just prefer our own taste." Luo Tingzhu said, tearing off a piece of pizza.

While gnawing, while holding with hand, afraid pizza would fall, and pizza pulled strings while tearing, looked like taste was pretty good.

There was an illusion of wanting to gnaw a bite.

Seeing Fang Ziye's slightly drooling actions, Luo Tingzhu herself felt embarrassed first: "How about, I finish eating then we video?"

"Not urgent not urgent, you eat slowly!" Fang Ziye touched his mouth corner, voice calm.

"You're not allowed to laugh at me, nor make weird movements." Luo Tingzhu looked at Fang Ziye, with warning, as if she could hang up video anytime.

Current Luo Tingzhu, compared to when she just went abroad, was much more generous.

Perhaps because foreign atmosphere is more open, or perhaps her Senior Sister really treats her well, so taught her quite a lot, or perhaps she saw Senior Sister's romance, learned to act coquettish, play cute.

And it's that kind that doesn't look deliberate, naturally revealed cuteness.

Like now, she puffed her mouth, like an angry pufferfish, gurgling there.

Fang Ziye just slowly waited like this, waited until Luo Tingzhu finished eating, then she took initiative to ask.

"Senior Brother, you seem like a different person today, how come suddenly chatting with me so frequently?" Luo Tingzhu asked quite cunningly.

"You want me to tell truth or tell lie?" Fang Ziye asked.

Unexpectedly, Luo Tingzhu spoke first: "How about, Senior Brother you tell the fake reason first?"

Although it's fake, Luo Tingzhu still looked a bit expectant.

"Fake reason is, today heard quite a bit of bad talk about you, so wanted to find you to chat." Fang Ziye somewhat straight-man-ly, directly inserted the topic into the focus he wanted to pay attention to.

Fang Ziye also knew it was a bit stiff.

"Bad talk? What bad talk? What bad talk could I have?"

Luo Tingzhu thought of it herself first, she sat opposite in video, right hand's index finger circled once, then slowly turned head: "Is it Lan Tianluo saying bad things about me?"

"Not right ah, he's also fabricating ah?"

"Mm,, you're a liar, you used to often appear in his life near holidays."

"Although others didn't discover, he discovered many times, and because his perception sharp, so first glance recognized you."

"And, he also said..." Fang Ziye actually wasn't stupid either, after topic turned to Respiratory Medicine matters, Fang Ziye still decided to circle back out first.

If this matter brought harm to Luo Tingzhu, then deliberately bringing it up again would make her unhappy.

If this matter didn't bring any harm to Luo Tingzhu, asking again would instead show suspicion, perhaps, wait until whenever Luo Tingzhu is willing to tell the truth to himself, that's most suitable.

Even ah, Fang Ziye considered even more extreme, perhaps this matter, because of Luo Tingzhu's father's relationship, the inside information Luo Tingzhu contacted, isn't much either.

She only knows, she was in department interning, got teased, then no one helped her speak up, just that.

She fundamentally doesn't know, actually that period, she was a target, a moving gorgeous live target, many of her things, were stripped bare before others.

Still quite a few people, utilizing some of her weaknesses and personality, wanting to take advantage of weakness.

Luo Tingzhu first became somewhat guilty and panicked.

But as Fang Ziye slowly spoke, Luo Tingzhu instead felt, seems like now she doesn't have that much fear like before.

"Senior Brother, last time May Day, why didn't you say these? And the time before that holiday?" Luo Tingzhu countered like this.

"Mm." Fang Ziye raised fist, then every point said, stood up one finger.

"During the Lantern Festival, didn't we eat Glycogen together? And after the Lantern Festival comes Qingming — Qingming rarely has any celebrations, right?"

"May Day isn't a traditional holiday; there's no reunion factor in it. So there's no need to forcibly bring up that point again."

"Mm-hmm, that's right."

Luo Tingzhu said: "May Day indeed isn't a traditional festival. But actually I'm fine now — maybe it's because this year Senior Brother you accompanied me through Spring Festival together!"

Finished speaking, Luo Tingzhu laughed with her teeth showing, without a lady's restraint of laughing without revealing teeth.

New Year's Eve the thirtieth is Promising; the first day of the lunar new year is the true Spring Festival.

Fang Ziye this year indeed, in the evening, made do celebrating Spring Festival together with Luo Tingzhu.

Speaking of this, Fang Ziye hurriedly said: "Tingzhu, don't you say — I originally planned to spend Dragon Boat Festival together with you, really."

"But I discovered I'm so poor I can't even afford round-trip air tickets."

"Ah?"

"Then you tell me. I have." Luo Tingzhu subconsciously spoke this sentence.

But just as she was about to say the three words 'I have money', Luo Tingzhu sensitively stopped.

Because Luo Tingzhu also realized that Fang Ziye many times, because of poverty, would become unconfident.

So, showing off wealth in front of Fang Ziye would either be a joke or would pull open a certain distance.

"Then you really are a little rich woman."

"Should I say —!"

"Rich woman, hungry hungry? ~" Fang Ziye very naturally made a childlike reaching-out gesture.

After doing this action, speaking these words, and making this sound, Fang Ziye only then suddenly calmed down, coldness backflowing through his whole body.

Looking back at himself, he discovered he really had changed a bit.

It seemed from meeting Wu Xuanqi, witnessing his shamelessness, then experiencing Teacher Martin Yong's incident, Fang Ziye now had also taken the first step of the three words 'shameless' to a certain extent.

Otherwise before, Fang Ziye would be impossible to say such words.

Unless joking in front of men; in front of a girl, Fang Ziye couldn't even joke.

Luo Tingzhu knitted her brows, subconsciously making a somewhat disdainful expression.

No other reason — because Fang Ziye's clear features, plus his expression just now, easily made Luo Tingzhu think of those gigolos or mutant gigolos on the internet who sponge off rich women.

At least in looks it was like that.

Of course, such a thought was just a flash and gone.

"Senior Brother, I feel we're not suitable to chat this topic, let's change one?" Luo Tingzhu actively said.

"Okay, then what topic shall we change to?"

"How about you give me a popular science lecture on the people from that time I passively became a Huahua Weishi?" Fang Ziye finally found a relatively suitable entry point.
