Chapter 122 He was tricked by a kid
Li Zhen had finally reached his limit and could no longer tolerate it: "Enough!"
Little Peach Blossom turned around: "Brother Li Zhen?"
Li Zhen took a deep breath: "Little Peach Blossom, come on, brother brought candy coupons and money, let's buy candy." He then picked up Little Peach Blossom and turned to leave. What little angel, what servant—it's all nonsense! This person definitely doesn't sound respectable; there's something wrong with him!
"Hey, wait a minute." Li Bo quickly pulled the person back: "We're already here, why are you leaving? We haven't discussed the important business yet."
"Discuss what?! I'm not interested!"
Why are you swearing?
"If you keep talking nonsense to me, I'll beat you up!"
Li Bo shrank back, but still firmly held onto Li Zhen's arm: "You can't leave, if you leave I'll have no hope left."
Li Zhen squinted. He felt like he had been tricked by this idiot in front of him.
No, impossible!
Li Zhen was somewhat unwilling to believe it.
He tugged at the arm, but couldn't pull it open. When did this idiot become so strong?
Little Peach Blossom patted her brother's arm: "Brother Li Zhen, put Little Peach Blossom down."
"No, you'll get tired standing. Let your brother carry you."
"But I want to get down."
Li Zhen thought about it for a moment and then listened to his sister.
As soon as the little peach blossom landed on the ground, it trotted over to Liu Daguang and asked, "May I see your face?"
"Well, I'm incredibly ugly, I'm afraid I'll scare you, little angel."
"I'm not afraid!" Little Peach Blossom was now extremely curious about the other person's face because when the other person got close just now, Little Peach Blossom seemed to see a pair of different eyes, and she really, really, really wanted to see them.
Liu Daguang: ...
He said so much, so why did this child insist on looking into his eyes?
Liu Daguang tossed his hair to cover his eyes even more completely: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Why?" Little Peach Blossom is always so straightforward, asking questions whenever she has them.
“Yeah, yeah, I really want to see what you look like. Can you show me?” Li Bo leaned closer.
If neither of them leaves, what can Li Zhen do? He can only stay here with his sister.
Liu Daguang looked at the two in front of him, then at the shorter one. Well, there was no escaping it. Let him look, it wouldn't hurt him. He could just run away somewhere else!
So he simply swept his hair up.
"Wow, blue eyes!" Little Peach Blossom's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but circle around the other person. "They really do have blue eyes, so beautiful."
Li Zhen and Li Bo were also seeing blue eyes for the first time, and they were equally amazed.
After his initial surprise, Li Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did you end up in our town?"
Blue eyes mean foreigners, but there aren't any foreigners in their town. Besides, it's so chaotic outside; many foreigners aren't allowed to roam freely in their own countries. What is this person doing here?!
Unlike Li Zhen's wariness, Li Bo's first reaction was: "Wow, no wonder you know the director, you really can make me a super, super super star!" Li Bo knew that there were the most and most famous superstars abroad!
Li Zhen couldn't help but tap Li Bo on the head. What kind of brain does this guy have?!
"Why did you hit me!" Li Bo said, feeling wronged.
"Stupid!" Then she continued to look at Liu Daguang: "Tell me, what are you doing in our town, you foreigner!" Liu Daguang was very familiar with this posture that looked like they wanted to take him to the police station, so he simply went all out: "I am Chinese."
"Impossible! Your eyes are blue!"
"I am from an ethnic minority!" He gets angry when he hears this. He is clearly Chinese, but he has bad luck wherever he goes. Nobody gives him a friendly look, and that's why he looks so disheveled now.
"Really?" Li Zhen was still skeptical.
"It couldn't be more real!" Liu Daguang sat on the ground.
Li Bo looked over and said, "You're not a foreigner." Why was he a little disappointed?
Liu Daguang turned his head away and ignored him.
Li Bo thought for a moment, then cautiously asked, "So you've been lying to me all along?"
"Don't lie to me. I do know the director, and I'm his friend, but he went abroad a long time ago, and I don't know if I can get in touch with him."
"Then you're still lying to me!"
"Didn't I teach you how to recite your lines?"
"Yes."
"So I'm not exactly lying to you; it's a mutually beneficial arrangement."
"How could you do this?" Li Bo pointed at the other person in disbelief as his dream of becoming a star shattered in an instant.
"What else?" Having run out of the pretense, Liu Daguang, exhausted, simply lay down again. "I'm starving, do you think I'm lying and have something to eat?"
"You, you've gone too far!"
Liu Daguang ignored him.
"Why did you stop pretending?" Li Zhen stared down at the other person.
"It's boring." Reaching out, he plucked a blade of grass from the side and put it in his mouth, staring at the dilapidated roof.
He was tired of abandoning all dignity for a bite to eat and pretending to be capable to fool a child. Although he was indeed very capable in the past, that was all in the past. Now he was just a drowning dog, unable to even bully a child.
Once you really feel tired, it's as if everything has lost its meaning.
Li Bo stood there, heartbroken; Li Zhen stood there, speechless; Little Peach Blossom…
Little Peach Blossom ran up to Liu Daguang and squatted down: "Where do you live? Is it far from here?"
"It's far, very far away."
"Wow, how far is 'very far'?"
"Given the current situation, I'll never be able to go home in this lifetime." No proof, no money, nothing—how could he possibly go back? Even if he did get the proof, his face would be under constant scrutiny!
"Then you are so pitiful."
"It's okay, I can leave once my friend arrives."
"Walk?"
"Yes, leave here, leave this country." On the contrary, going abroad is much simpler.
Why are you leaving?
Do you think I can stay here any longer?
"Why can't we stay?"
"Forget it, why should I argue with a child like you?" Liu Daguang also realized that he was being delusional, how could he actually discuss these things with a child.
His departure was inevitable, but he wasn't foolish enough to tell people how he was leaving. If these kids went outside and sued him, he would accept it, as long as he didn't drag his friends down with him.
"Do you want some candy?" Little Peach Blossom took out a fruit candy from her pocket.
Liu Daguang: ...
How long has it been since he had candy? He glanced at Little Peach Blossom. The child seemed quite sincere. To be honest, this little girl was really pretty, just like a lucky doll from a New Year's painting. She looked blessed and must be the family's darling. So, Liu Daguang took the fruit candy from Little Peach Blossom without any hesitation and said "Thanks!"
After saying that, he tore open the packaging and stuffed it into his mouth: "Sweet!"
"If you eat my candy, can you teach me how to become a big star?" Little Peach Blossom asked with a smile.
Liu Daguang: ...
The candy in my mouth suddenly didn't taste sweet anymore.
Was he tricked by a child?
