Chapter 84 - Validation on the Verge of Zero (1/2)

Meanwhile in Nanjing, outside the Confucius temple.

“Is this really Yun Jin?” Zhang Zhou Wei held up a silk scarf and asked the boss. Seeing him nod, he put it down and spoke to Wang Ya Nan. “This doesn’t look too expensive. How about we buy Xing Ta Ge a rain stone? It’ll count as a gift.”

“It’s already strange to gift a guy a silk scarf.”

“Then you don’t understand the vanity of Xing Ta Ge.”

As they chatted, they headed into another store to pick out some rain stone crafts. They then purchased some sealed traditional snacks like Nanjing salted duck, plate duck, duck stomach and duck belly.

“This food is for…”

Zhang Zhou Wei paused for a moment. Not sure if his brain was stuck or his throat. He couldn’t remember who he wanted to gift it to.

Wang Ya Nan looked toward Zhang Zhou Wei. “For who?”

“Who was it?” Zhang Zhou Wei scratched his head. He seemed to have remembered something, but it slipped out of his mind immediately.

‘Who was it? F*ck me!’

“You don’t know who it’s for, but you still want to buy it!? Forget it, just buy it. You can figure out who it’s for once we get back.”

Wang Ya Nan asked the store to pack the bags, and then with Zhang Zhou Wei, she headed to find Chen Da Qiang and Wei Zhi Xue who had been browsing the traditional souvenir stand.

The two girls began to chat about what they bought and who they were for. Zhang Zhou Wei and Chen Da Qiang appeared to have some unspeakable trouble on their minds as they still felt like there was something they couldn’t remember.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing. What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing, nothing.”

Neither of them had told the other that their minds were stuck on something they couldn’t remember.

Of course, everyone had this experience once in a while, so they didn’t think it was strange.

It was just a bit uncomfortable to want to think about it but not be able to remember.

As if something had been presented, but they were unable to digest it heartily and delightfully!

…

“Stand up!”

Qin Jiao basked in a sheet mask as she video called Meng Cai Wei, who had the same sheet mask on. She suddenly felt there was something wrong with Meng Cai Wei.

“Did your brain got fried from being a teacher? This isn’t your classroom!” Meng Cai Wei was startled.

“Move your camera down. I want to see your body.”

“Hohoho, the one named Qin. I was wondering why you’re so old and still not married; turns out, you’re into me!” Meng Cai Wei stretched the muscles on her face trying to keep still as she laughed.

“Don’t change the subject!” Qin Jiao’s eyes were like daggers. Underneath the black charcoal mask, she looked particularly menacing. “Cai Wei, why do I feel like you’ve gained a lot of weight!? Could it be… You’re pregnant?”

“Pregnant yourself! This old lady is fertile like soil. The one that could plant anything but not suitable for seeding.” Meng Cai Wei was quite domineering in her tone and did not budge, responding to Qin Jiao with another question, “I just received a role for a movie, and it requires me to gain weight, about 30 pounds. Your eyes are poisonous. I’m only showing my face, and it’s got a sheet mask on, yet you can still tell! It seems like my weight gain is quite obvious!”

As she spoke, she pulled the camera back. She very generously showed Qin Jiao the effects of her labor. She pinched her stomach. She shook her arm flab and then sullenly patted her chest. “Everywhere else seems okay, but it’s lacking a bit over here.”

“If they get bigger, you can’t be sexy anymore!” The two were usually very elegant and dignified women, but when talking privately amongst each other, they tend to be quite explosive. “Hey aren’t these all effects done in post-production? Why do you have to lose weight yourself? Do you have to be so hardcore?”

“A script is hard to come by. Plus, all aspects of the configurations are good, and since the crew asked for it, I couldn’t be the one holding them back. Besides, this is very different from post-production effects, alright!? Moreover, the character’s design has to be worthy of my acting skills!”

“Okay, okay. Your acting skills are good!” Qin Jiao was quite surprised. “You don’t say, you’ve fattened up pretty well. I haven’t called you in a few days, and you’ve already gained this much weight!”

“This kind of thing… Not seeing a pig run doesn’t mean I haven’t had pork I’ve never been fat, but I’ve fattened up someone else! On myself, it’s only a matter of time.” Meng Cai Wei said very satisfyingly. After saying that, she paused for a moment.

“It’s not good to speak of him like that is it?”

Qin Jiao also paused for a moment.

Who were they talking about!?

After pausing for about three seconds, the two began talking about explosive bedroom subjects again.

Whoever it was, they were probably not important!

…

“Who am I?”

“Where am I?”

“What am I trying to do?”

Meng Fan soulfully asked himself these three questions before determining that he hadn’t forgotten himself. He then let out a sigh of relief.

Seven more minutes passed, and Meng Fan was still not able to hail a taxi.
