"Handsome, wake up! It's 10 o'clock, the sun's already high in the sky!" Xiao Feiran squatted down next to Cheng Ye's bed and called him to get up.
Cheng Ye, still under the covers, twitched a couple of times, poked his head out, and struggled to open his eyes. Looking at the darkness outside the window, he closed them again. "Sister Feiran, I'm not awake, but I'm not blind! The way it looks outside, it doesn't look like 10 o'clock at all!"
Xiao Feiran: "..." This guy is not as easy to fool as his sister.
"Oh dear, that's about it. Didn't you want to go out with us? If you don't get up soon, we're leaving on our own." Xiao Feiran said, while pulling at Cheng Ye's blanket.
Upon hearing that they were going out, Cheng Ye became a little more alert. He let go of the blanket, immediately got up, and smiled at Xiao Feiran, "Sister, you can go out now. I'll change my clothes and be right there!"
In less than five minutes, Cheng Ye was dressed and ready. He gently knocked on Cheng Zhi's door, and her sisters came out as well.
Looking at Cheng Ye dressed all in black, although there was nothing wrong with it, Cheng Zhi still felt something was off. "We're going out, not to rob a tomb. You don't need to hide in the night like this."
"Oh, what do you care what I wear? I can't go wrong with this. Let's go!" This was Cheng Ye's first time going out since arriving in Yangzhou, and his excitement was written all over his face.
They were indeed about to set off. Cheng Zhi handed Cheng Ye a pair of swimming goggles and a blue silk scarf, saying, "Take these with you; it's very windy and dusty outside."
Cheng Ye was very reluctant to bring these things. "Isn't there any cooler equipment?"
Cheng Zhi didn't indulge him and shoved the things directly into his arms, saying, "Wear it or not, I won't care if it turns into a terracotta warrior."
"..."
Upon hearing that he could transform into a terracotta warrior, Cheng Ye immediately put on his swimming goggles. However, he didn't know how to tie the scarf, so he asked his sisters for help.
Xiao Feiran had put on her scarf early on, and now that she had some free time, she was teaching Ye how to tie it securely.
After everyone had put on their masks, the three of them set off to the first floor to find Huang Yiyi.
When they arrived on the first floor, Huang Yiyi was already waiting for them at the door. Without saying much, they set off.
Huang Yiyi walked at the front, pretending to drive, but actually took the car out of her spatial storage.
This time, instead of using a campervan, they brought out the black SUV.
Huang Yiyi was the only local from Yangzhou in the entire car, so it was only natural that she would drive.
Cheng Ye, sitting in the back seat, noticed that Huang Yiyi could also drive and casually remarked, "Wow, Sister Yiyi can drive too."
Huang Yiyi smiled. She had originally wanted to say that she would teach him how to drive another day, but she held back in the end.
Upon arriving at their destination, Huang Yiyi looked at the wholesale market in front of her and said, "This is the largest wholesale market in Yangzhou. Most of the shops sell food and clothing. Even if we just take a little from each shop, it will be quite a lot."
It was Cheng Ye's first time doing something like this, and she was already very nervous before she even started; her palms were sweating.
Cheng Zhi noticed his condition, but she didn't say anything. She knew she would get used to it.
The wholesale market was deserted in the early morning. After they entered smoothly, they found that some shops had been vandalized.
Huang Yiyi looked at the broken cabinet and said, "The security in Yangzhou is only slightly better. Even in places with fewer people, there are still people who will smash up shops and take things."
Cheng Zhi stepped forward to see what else was inside the smashed counter, but there was nothing but shards of glass.
Although Cheng Ye knew their purpose, he didn't know how to get in, so he asked Xiao Feiran, who was closest to him, "Feiran, we don't have a key. Are we going to have to break down the door?"
Xiao Feiran shook his head and said with a smile, "You'll find out soon enough."
There were all kinds of shops in the market, but I didn't see any rice or flour shops. Their rice planting had failed badly recently, so they were thinking of stocking up on more ready-made rice.
Walking further in, we finally saw two shops selling rice and noodles. The doors were locked, and they didn't look like they had been vandalized.
The three people looked at each other and started working.
Cheng Ye was completely oblivious to the situation; he had already prepared himself for his sister to use a chainsaw to cut open the roller shutter door.
Unexpectedly, the next second Fei Ran took two hair clips off her head, squatted down, and started fiddling with the lock.
Huang Yiyi, standing nearby, was shining a light for Xiao Feiran, while Cheng Zhi was keeping watch.
Such smooth teamwork, such skillful operation, Cheng Ye's pupils dilated in shock, "Wait, what did you learn in school? How do you know how to pick locks? And how did you two cooperate so well? This must not be the first time, right?"
Cheng Zhi walked over and patted Cheng Ye on the head, then started talking nonsense again, "College students learn and dabble in everything. As the old saying goes, it's always good to have many skills."
Cheng Ye: "..." I don't believe you for a second. Who would be a good person learning lock picking? There isn't a single good person in your 806!
Cheng Ye glanced at her sister, then at Xiao Feiran who was intently picking the lock, and solemnly patted Cheng Zhi on the shoulder. "Sister, at this moment, I know which university I want to go to."
When her younger brother suddenly brought up his college application, Cheng Zhi was a little puzzled. "Didn't you always want to study physics at Tsinghua or Peking University? What? Are you going to abandon science and go for humanities?"
Cheng Ye shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm going to abandon science for martial arts, take the civil service exam, and then catch you first!"
Cheng Zhi: "...You little brat, you're really putting the family first!"
Just as the two were about to start fighting, Xiao Feiran opened the door and said, "Stop messing around, come on over."
