It was noon, and the sun was blazing overhead.
The temperature has soared to nearly 25 degrees Celsius, and many hot-blooded men have simply taken off their hoodies and put on summer short-sleeved T-shirts.
Hao Zhangwen stood on the balcony with his hands behind his back and began to read aloud:
"The blazing fire god spreads his fiery umbrella, while Zhurong rides his crimson banner—"
Then he glanced back at Lu Yibei and Liu Jie in the dormitory room.
Lu Yibei sharpened his fist.
Liu Jie rubbed his hands together.
Both men had piercing gazes, filled with murderous intent.
Hao Zhangwen sighed and said sadly:
"Although I don't want to see brothers killing each other, it's unavoidable in order to seize this great opportunity from heaven and earth. Venerable Lu and Venerable Liu, are you ready?"
Lu Yibei remained calm, while Liu Jie remained silent.
“If you’re ready, stick out your little fingers,” Hao Zhangwen said.
Lu Yibei and Liu Jie raised their fists at the same time and extended their little fingers at the same moment.
"good."
Fatty Hao gave a heavy "hmm," and then said, "A single strike will decide the outcome; there's no going back, or you'll fall into the eighteenth level of hell, suffering excruciating pain and the agony of having your tongue pulled out every day. Please, both of you, swear an oath—"
Lu Yibei placed his palm over Hao Pangzi's left 36D breast.
Liu Jie occupied the right side.
The two looked devout.
"I swear."
Fatty Hao's facial muscles twitched: "—Get out of here!"
Lu Yibei and Liu Jie simultaneously leaped backward lightly.
Then, Lu Yibei raised his fist:
"This punch, imbued with the power of twenty thousand years, is enough to destroy all living beings in the six realms and kill the great powers of heaven and earth. Can you withstand it?"
Liu Jie spread his five fingers: "This palm strike can seize the creation of heaven and earth, seal three thousand worlds, create a thousand nets, and destroy ten thousand phenomena. I'm afraid you are not fortunate enough to enjoy it."
Lu Yibei's eyes shone brightly: "Come on!"
Liu Jie shouted in a low voice, "Begin!!"
The two men bent their knees and braced themselves, as if using all their strength.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
"--Grass!"
Lu Yibei screamed in agony.
One of his fists was covered by Liu Jie's cloth.
Liu Jie: ...
He looked at his slightly bent fingers, feeling somewhat bewildered after his victory:
"No, Lao Bei, you're really going to throw a punch?"
Lu Yibei sighed, "I thought you'd do something illogical and throw out scissors."
Fatty Hao patted Lu Yibei on the shoulder: "Is it possible that A-Jie's brain only supports one level of logic?"
Lu Yibei remained silent:
"This is something I didn't expect."
"Alright, Vanguard General, you can go now," Fatty Hao said. "Remember, I want vanilla flavor."
"I want chocolate," Liu Jie said.
"Matcha——"
Zhao Xun, sitting cross-legged in a chair, propped his elbows on the table, held his head, and said with a lazy yet disdainful air: "It's just buying an ice cream, why are you all making such a fuss like you're undergoing a tribulation... childish."
Lu Yibei: "Then go buy it."
Zhao Xun glared: "Why? I was the first to win, so my level should be at least Hongjun level... You losers should serve an ancestor like me!!"
Lu Yibei dawdled, and Fatty Hao sighed repeatedly.
"Lao Bei, you're the same. After losing to me, you lose to Sun'er, and after losing to Sun'er, you lose to A-Jie. Now you have nothing to lose, right?"
Lu Yibei clicked his tongue lightly: "Something's not right. There's no reason I should lose at rock-paper-scissors."
"The reality is right in front of us, there's no use in arguing, Lao Bei," said Fatty Hao.
Lu Yibei sensed something was off: "Let's sort this out. It's afternoon now, and we just finished lunch not long ago—and the cafeteria is near the north gate, which is near the ice cream shop, right?"
"Ah, right, right, right, right, right," Zhao Xun said listlessly, glancing sideways at the north side of the prison, wondering how he would escape punishment this time.
“We’ll have lunch separately. Let’s leave A-Jie aside for now; he went to find Chen Dan, and he doesn’t eat at the North Gate cafeteria either—I’ll have lunch with Qingqian, and Sun’er will have lunch with Xiao Ma. Right?” Lu Yibei added.
Fatty Hao looked at Lu Yibei with an attitude of "You speak, I listen."
"If we were to buy ice cream back then, given the relationship between Qingqian, Sun'er, and Xiao Ma, it would be awkward to eat it ourselves without buying it for others. If you buy it for others and bring some for your own roommates but don't bring any for the girls' dorm roommates, wouldn't that make the girls' dorm look down on us boys' dorm?"
Lu Yibei then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Fatty, you ate with Sister Chu too. Given your casual, unremarkable relationship, you shouldn't have had many reservations. Why didn't you buy anything then? Why did you make us go through all this trouble?"
“What you said, Lao Bei, makes a lot of sense.”
Fatty Hao smiled calmly, not flinching at all from Lu Yibei's condemnation: "But have you considered one thing?"
"Please speak."
"We only remembered we wanted ice cream after we finished eating and got back to the dorm, and it was you who suggested it."
Lu Yibei paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's something I really didn't expect."
Zhao Xun's eyebrows twitched, and he pointed his slender finger at the dormitory door:
"Get out of here!!"
"Okay, that's settled."
Lu Yibei quickly left the house.
The three adopted sons who stayed behind continued doing what they were doing.
Liu Jie asked, "Tomorrow is Saturday, Sun'er, are you practicing driving?"
Although I haven't taken the theory test yet, driving schools always do this: practice driving as much as possible to prepare for the practical test.
