Chapter 264 Zhang Wei unleashing his secret weapon!
Zhang Wei found himself both slightly surprised and impressed by Yu Lei’s actions.
Despite knowing about the chaotic situation at Wu Xue’s home, including the fight with monks and her newfound homelessness, she hadn’t inquired about any of it.
Instead, she had merely sought to confirm his well-being, as if she was trying hard not to pry too much.
As he gazed at her for a few seconds, he discerned a flicker of restraint in her eyes, like she was consciously holding back from asking more probing questions.
[Host, she can smell.]
‘Smell what?’ Zhang Wei furrowed his brows in confusion, not quite grasping the context.
[…]
[She can smell that you were making out with another woman before coming to see her, so she might already know why it took you a long time to respond to her text.]
‘Damn,’ Zhang Wei inwardly cursed, ‘Couldn’t you have informed me about this earlier?’
[I forgot, host.]
Zhang Wei shook his head, exasperated by the system’s unpredictable nature.
It seemed to be deliberately extracting revenge on him for his earlier fight with the monks, despite having advised against it.
“??”
Yu Lei’s eyes blinked in response to his sudden head shake. She tilted her head in confusion, her curiosity piqued.
As he returned her phone, she couldn’t help but wonder about the strange change in his demeanor.
“What do you feel like eating?” Zhang Wei asked, glancing at Yu Lei.
Her confusion faded, her eyes lighting up with enthusiasm. “Burger and fries!” she exclaimed, her excitement evident.
!!
Zhang Wei squinted his eyes, knocking her on the head, making her nearly tear up in surprise. “You want to get fat, eating all this fast food? There’s a noodle shop nearby, let’s go there.”
“Oh…” Yu Lei nodded, a little subdued, following behind and rubbing her head.
She hadn’t really expected to get fast food anyway.
Zhang Wei had a peculiar reason for reprimanding her. Last time he allowed her to eat whatever she wanted, she ended up gaining some weight.
It took her several months of rigorous exercising to shed those extra pounds. She had even ranted about how she’d never eat junk again and told him to teach her a lesson if she ever did.
Zhang Wei had endured those months of her dieting, determined not to let her gain extra weight, only to hear her grumble later about his strictness.
He was simply trying to save himself and her from that fate once again.
Upon their arrival at the restaurant, Zhang Wei and Yu Lei were met with a scene quite different from what they had expected. Instead of an empty establishment, they found several patrons inside, each engrossed in their own activities.
The continuous march of time had brought about gradual yet significant changes to the world.
Zhang Wei couldn’t help but reflect on how, over the past decade, people seemed to have lost their sense of time, causing day and night to blend into one.
It served as a constant reminder that change was an inescapable part of life, whether one noticed it or not.
He glanced at Yu Lei, who followed him obediently, her smile igniting thoughts about how she might change in the future.
“Husband, they are staring at us…” Yu Lei suddenly whispered, her voice filled with faux fear, pulling Zhang Wei from his contemplative reverie.
“Hm?” Zhang Wei saw her pretending to be frightened and couldn’t help but smile, entering into the game.
He followed her gaze and discovered two individuals, clad in black hoodies with their faces shrouded in mystery, observing them with unwavering intensity.
While everyone else had glanced their way briefly before resuming their own affairs, these two individuals were the exception, their gaze fixed firmly on the couple.
It brought to mind a similar incident from their past when, shortly after their marriage, they had visited Yu Lei’s hometown.
A comparable situation had unfolded there, and Zhang Wei had let loose his fury, resulting in a few broken skulls.
He had managed to smooth things over by greasing the palms of the police, but attempting the same here would undoubtedly land him in jail. ππ±ππ³xt.πππ
Who was he kidding?
He needed a better plan.
“Want to have a little fun?” he proposed to Yu Lei.
“Fun?” Yu Lei’s eyes lit up with curiosity, wondering what kind of ‘fun’ he had in mind this time.
Zhang Wei leaned forward, whispering the instructions to her. He realized he needed to learn to relish the present moment and enjoy life while it lasted, without worrying too much about the uncertain future. After all, that’s how he used to beβthe worst outcome was death, anyways.
“Can I really do that?” Yu Lei asked him suspiciously, her expression reflecting a mix of intrigue and uncertainty as she received her instructions.
“No problem, it’s safe,” Zhang Wei reassured Yu Lei.
“You won’t get into more trouble because of it, right?” she asked, voicing her concerns about Zhang Wei’s plan, which seemed rather aggressive.
Zhang Wei didn’t mince words, threatening, “If you don’t do it, I’ll take care of it myself.”
Yu Lei’s eyes widened in response to his stern tone.
She gave him a determined thumbs-up, her eyes probably saying, ‘Leave it to me!’ While promptly turning toward a table in the corner of the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei settled into a seat at a nearby table, preparing to watch the events unfold like a spectator at a live performance.
??
As Yu Lei’s actions drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant, curious gazes fixated on the unfolding drama.
People seemed to have an inclination for observing such unexpected situations, but little did they know that today’s episode would bring them a surprise like no other.
As Yu Lei approached the table in the corner, she wore a determined expression, ready to execute the plan Zhang Wei had whispered to her.
She cleared her throat and began, “Excuse me, gentlemen…”
The two men looked up from their conversation, their expressions shifting from surprise to annoyance as they noticed her standing there.
One of them sneered, “What do you want, girl? Can’t you see we’re busy?”
“I just wanted to offer some advice,” Yu Lei said with a sweet smile, her intentions seemingly innocent.
The other man chuckled sarcastically, “Advice? From you?”
Boom!
