Chapter 194: The Pot Calling the Kettle Black
After some discussion.
A lobby manager cautiously suggested: "How about we just let her go into the men's restroom? As long as we ensure there is no one inside, the men's restroom is really just the same as the women's, only with an extra row of urinals..."
"That works."
"Then I'll have to trouble the two of you to take the lead and bring her in." The manager looked at the two of them cautiously. "I'm afraid that if she enters the men's restroom, something else might happen..."
"..."
Chen Shu looked at Qingqing.
Qingqing seemed to have a premonition and said indifferently: "You go. I can't coax her."
"Fine."
Chen Shu waited for the waiter to come out and confirm that the men's restroom was empty, then looked at Zhang Suannai and sighed, saying:
"Let's go, roommate."
"Alrighty!"
You actually agreed quite readily?
Chen Shu was even more speechless.
Restrooms in this kind of restaurant are generally very clean, otherwise it would affect their rating on "National Review." After Chen Shu walked in, he looked left and right, then pointed to a random stall and said to Zhang Suannai: "Go ahead and use it, remember to close the door properly."
There was no response.
What's wrong now?
Chen Shu looked over helplessly.
He saw Zhang Suannai standing in place, staring blankly at the two urinals. A few seconds later, she pointed at the urinals, but tilted her head to look at Chen Shu:
"What is this for?"
"Oh, this is a urinal, for boys to pee in." Chen Shu said casually, then pointed to the stall. "You go in there."
"Why?"
"Aren't you going to the bathroom?"
"I want to pee..."
"..." Chen Shu was speechless, but still pointed at the stall. "You go in there!"
"Why?"
While asking, Zhang Suannai walked over to the urinal, lowered her head to stare at it, and frowned, falling into deep thought. For a moment, she didn't know how to operate it, while still mumbling vaguely: "I am a boy... I want to pee... This is for boys to pee... I want to pee right here..."
Chen Shu:...
He silently adjusted the angle of his Mobile Phone camera.
At this moment, Zhang Suannai suddenly turned her head, scaring him so much he almost put the phone away.
Fortunately, his mental fortitude was strong.
He saw Zhang Suannai reach out and scratch her head, her face full of confusion: "How do you use this thing again? I suddenly forgot..."
Her words were slurred and unclear.
Chen Shu still pointed at the stall: "Forget it then, just go inside the stall."
"No! I want to pee in the urinal!"
"..."
Chen Shu pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly changed his previous attitude, pointed at her, and said loudly: "You are definitely not a man!"
"..."
Zhang Suannai was startled by his suddenly stern tone and was stunned for a moment, almost doubting herself. Fortunately, her mental fortitude wasn't bad either; after reacting, she immediately retorted righteously:
"I am a man!"
"Men generally don't pee in urinals! Unless all the stalls are occupied!" Chen Shu spoke with the tone of someone who had found the only truth. "Look at you, the stalls are clearly empty, yet you insist on peeing in the urinal! Don't try to quibble, you must be a woman!"
"Why?"
"You're still asking why? You really are a woman!"
"..."
Zhang Suannai fell into a deeper level of self-doubt and secretly glanced at Chen Shu: "Then why is it?"
"Because you're afraid of being compared!"
"Oh!!!"
Zhang Suannai suddenly realized, immediately turned around, and walked toward the stall, muttering as she went: "I am a boy... I want to go into the stall to pee... If I stand outside to pee, I'm afraid of being compared..."
Chen Shu hurriedly turned off the recording; recording any more would be a bit much.
"Click!"
Zhang Suannai opened the stall door, caught a glimpse of the squat toilet inside, and looked back at Chen Shu: "Should I squat or stand? I forgot again..."
As she spoke, she reached out to scratch her head.
Chen Shu pondered for a few seconds:
"Stand."
"Okay, I'll go in and stand to pee, because I'm afraid of being compared..."
Zhang Suannai talked to herself while closing the stall door. She kept a vigilant eye on Chen Shu as she closed it, her mouth never stopping as she muttered things like "don't you dare peek at me, I'm afraid of being compared by you," before closing the door and locking it tight.
"..."
Only then did Chen Shu walk out.
Just as he reached the restroom door, he heard a loud shout from inside: "Holy shit!! Where the fuck is my little willy!?"
Chen Shu:...
A group of people were gathered outside.
Waiters, customers, at least a dozen or so; I don't know if any of them were recording.
Chen Shu looked at Qingqing.
Qingqing stood in place with a calm expression.
Chen Shu sighed: "It's truly a headache."
Qingqing nodded faintly to show her agreement, and repeated: "It's truly a headache."
"What kind of headache are you—"
Chen Shu stopped halfway through, suddenly stunned; not knowing what he had thought of, his expression became as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Ah..."
Chen Shu reached one hand behind Qingqing, spread the fingers of his other hand and pressed them against her face, then gritted his teeth and pushed hard: "I'm going to kill you!!!"
Qingqing stood in place, letting him do as he pleased.
Two minutes later.
Zhang Suannai walked out of the restroom.
Her face was flushed red and her gait was unsteady, yet she hadn't forgotten to wash her hands, and after washing, she even pulled out two sheets of paper to dry them before walking toward the two of them.
"Let's go."
Having re-proven her gender, Zhang Suannai felt incredibly relieved and walked with a spring in her step.
Chen Shu followed behind her, secretly turned on his camera again, and asked: "Brother Suannai, did you pee standing up or squatting down?"
"Of course I peed standing up! I'm a man!"
"Mm, very good."
Chen Shu glanced at her ultra-short shorts and legs.
They were very clean, her legs snow-white and slender.
This proved that this person had actually squatted to pee.
But in order to maintain her male self-esteem and hide the fact that she had lost her male characteristics, she chose to lie.
"Tsk tsk."
Chen Shu was blooming with joy inside.
A tiny voice came from beside him: "You look quite happy."
"..."
It was like a basin of cold water being poured over him.
Chen Shu calmed down instantly.
Ning Qing leaned close to Chen Shu, almost pressed against him, and while walking forward, whispered in his ear: "If you ever make me angry, I'll send your video to her too, let you two hurt each other, and see who is more skilled."
"..."
Chen Shu couldn't help but fall into doubt—
Is this girl really someone I raised?
One cannot generalize the constitutions of different people.
For example, Zhang Suannai's constitution was different from ordinary people—she was sitting on a chair with her arm around Chen Banxia's shoulder, holding an empty wine bottle high, tilting her head back, and opening her mouth to catch the few drops of wine dripping from the bottle's mouth, when she suddenly reacted.
This wine sobered her up as soon as it hit.
At that moment, Zhang Suannai's face was unprecedentedly serious; she instantly put down the wine bottle and sat in her original spot, silent for a long time without being able to recover.
The thoughts in her brain were complicated.
What did I just do?
Is this something I did?
And with so many people watching?
And in front of my goddess roommate?
And in the end, that idiot Qingcai was the one who took me to the restroom? He took me to the restroom???
"This..."
Zhang Suannai felt that this was no longer just a question of whether it would lead to social death, but that it might cause her Daoist heart to collapse and her Sword heart to shatter, turning her into a fool from now on who couldn't lift her head in front of anyone, drooling at the corners of her mouth all day, going "aba aba."
Must find a way to stop all this.
"..."
Zhang Suannai decided to forget it.
Once decided, it was forgotten.
Since it was forgotten, it was as if it had never happened.
Zhang Suannai let out a long breath, grinned, and returned to her happy-go-lucky state, leaning to the side and saying to Chen Banxia: "Sister Banxia... you said you didn't want to date or get married either, right?"
"What's the point of that, *hic*..."
"Then let's team up to grow old together..."
"What? A crowd?"
"Let's team up to grow old together..."
"Light a fire?"
"Let's, team up, to grow old together..." Zhang Suannai leaned close to Chen Banxia's ear and said loudly, her voice echoing throughout the private room, "It means when we're old, we go out to play, drink, fight, and find fun together..."
"Oh!"
Chen Banxia indicated she understood, but her brain needed a moment to process it.
After about two minutes, she turned her head and said to Zhang Suannai: "I have a younger brother to take care of me when I'm old, why would I need to team up with you?"
"Alright..."
Zhang Suannai sat up straight.
Ten minutes or so later.
The little girl expressionlessly supported Zhang Suannai as they exited the restaurant, while Chen Shu, carrying Chen Banxia on his back, walked to the parking space of Ning Qing's house.
He opened the car door.
He tossed Chen Banxia inside.
He slapped her face twice.
He sat in the driver's seat, started the engine, and pulled out of the parking space.
It was all done in one smooth motion.
Chen Shu stepped on the brake and said to Qingqing and Xiaoxiao, who were standing by the side of the road, "Drinking Spirit Wine won't cause vomiting, so there shouldn't be any major problems. After you two get home, coax her into taking a hot shower first; she'll probably sober up on her own."
Upon hearing this, Qingqing looked at the little girl.
The little girl remained silent.
Zhang Suannai was still happily waving at Chen Banxia, and Chen Banxia was also leaning on the window responding to her—two idiots.
Chen Shu accelerated and drove away from there.
It was already very late.
After Chen Shu carried Chen Banxia home, he even wrote an agreement with the general content of "Because I got dead drunk, causing my younger brother to have to bring me home and affecting his dating life, I feel bad about it and voluntarily agree to compensate my younger brother 10,000 yuan in full after I sober up tomorrow," and coaxed Chen Banxia into signing it and pressing her thumbprint on it before letting her go to sleep.
Immediately after, he also took a shower, lay down on the bed, and began to contact Deacon He.
Chen Shu: Hello, big boss.
Chen Shu: I'm going to try to advance next month.
Chen Shu: How do I apply for the potion?
Deacon He: Where are you right now?
Chen Shu: Yuanzhou, Bai City.
Deacon He: Your hometown, huh?
Chen Shu: That's right.
Deacon He: That's a bit far.
Deacon He: How about this: I'll send you a form, you print it out, fill it in, sign it, and mail it to me. I'll talk to the Vice Sect Master and handle it for you. The sect might call you to confirm later, just remember to answer.
Chen Shu: Sure.
Deacon He: If things go smoothly, I'll bring it over to you then. The items are too expensive, and there's a risk in using a courier.
Deacon He: I'll try my best not to affect your advancement.
Chen Shu: You're going to too much trouble.
Deacon He: It's my duty.
Deacon He: How is your cultivation going now?
Chen Shu: I've reached the peak.
Deacon He: Not bad.
Chen Shu chatted with him for a few more sentences and turned off his Mobile Phone.
Daily Cultivation.
