Just as Yue Gui returned, the takeout that Wang Mian and the others had ordered arrived.
When Xinghen, who was waiting for him outside, saw Yuegui, he was stunned and speechless.
Tianping couldn't help but turn his head away, coughing lightly twice, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Cough... What happened to you? Weren't you supposed to be fighting the monkey?"
How did I end up in such a sorry state?
The Moon Demon looked utterly disheveled, covered in mud, especially his face, which bore numerous scratch marks.
The casual clothes she was wearing also had many scratches and several holes.
Seeing Tianping laughing at him, Yuegui couldn't hold back anymore, "Laughing, laughing, how dare you laugh!"
"You actually left me behind and ran off first!"
Do you know how crazy those monkeys are?
Tianping scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and changed the subject, "Didn't I get kicked out? Today happens to be Crazy Thursday, we bought a family bucket, do you want some?"
Moon Ghost:......
Moon Demon snorted coldly and stepped inside.
Before he could even enter, Whirlpool came out eating a skewer of grilled meat. When he saw Moon Demon, he couldn't help but laugh and spit out the grilled meat he was still chewing.
In addition, he had been on many high-altitude amusement rides today, so he was constantly on edge and couldn't stop vomiting.
While vomiting, he pointed at the Moon Demon and laughed, "This is hilarious, come and see!"
Wang Mian walked out of the lobby and saw the disheveled Yue Gui, the vortex laughing hysterically beside him, and the scale blinking at him for help. Helplessly, he reached out and grabbed Yue Gui, leading him into the hotel.
"Go wash up properly. We bought takeout and are waiting for you to come and eat together." After saying this, he turned to look at the vortex that had vomited all over the floor. "Go wash up too, and mop the floor while you're at it."
They booked the entire hotel and specifically requested that no one disturb them, so it's just the few of them here right now.
You have to clean up your own vomit.
Whirlpool waved his hand, resignedly turned to look for the mop, and said, "Oh well, whatever."
Rose, who was standing next to her, handed over a mop. She was also holding another mop in her hand, while Xinghen brought over a bucket of water.
Rose glanced at the vortex. "I felt something was off when I saw you playing before. I thought you'd throw up once or twice when you got back. Let's finish this together and then go eat something."
Whirlpool, holding a mop, was moved to tears.
Sandalwood handed over a bottle of mineral water, "I don't know what you're thinking, being so bad at it yet so fond of playing games."
Vortex: ...
"I'm just afraid of heights!" Whirlpool emphasized.
After they cleaned up the things on the ground outside, Yue Gui came out after changing his clothes.
Whirlpool reached out and put her hand on his shoulder. "Let's go, you're the only one left!"
Star Mark, Sandalwood, Rose, Libra, and King Mian sat at the round table, with two empty seats remaining in front of them.
The group chatted as they ate.
The hotel here is located within the scenic area, so the scenery is quite beautiful.
A mountain breeze blows through the night, bringing very fresh air.
"To be honest, this was really dangerous. I even considered using my Forbidden Ruins at the last moment!" Whirlpool took a bite of a skewer and then a sip of his drink.
Seeing that his drink was empty, Yuegui reached out and poured him another cup. "I didn't expect you to be able to hold your liquor so well!"
"I'm hiding my true abilities!" Whirlpool said, putting down his chopsticks after taking a few more bites.
"Why aren't you eating?" Wang Mian turned to ask him, somewhat puzzled.
"No... I'm afraid if I eat now, I'll feel like throwing up later," Whirlpool said, her expression somewhat conflicted.
Hearing him say that, Sandalwood couldn't help but reach out and pull on Rose's hand, who was sitting next to her.
Rose leaned slightly towards Sandalwood, "What's wrong?"
"Why does he feel the same as the one in my arms?" Sandalwood whispered.
"Pfft—" Tianping couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of orange juice, which Xinghen, sitting opposite him, dodged precisely.
Everyone present heard what Tanxiang had just said.
Wang Mian's lips twitched wildly for a while, but he finally managed to suppress the upward twitching of his lips with sheer willpower. Then he lowered his head and pretended not to hear, focusing on eating his food.
Whirlpool's face, which had been somewhat pale, had now turned red. After exclaiming "Ah!", he quickly said, "I only did five hours of extreme aerial sports this morning, and I've been walking all afternoon. I can't eat anymore!"
"What are you thinking, Sandalwood!" Whirlpool looked like his innocence had been ruined. He even excitedly pulled down the zipper of his jacket, revealing his flat chest.
Wang Mian reached up to touch his forehead and pressed his hand down.
"Alright, alright, stop pulling. If you pull any lower, do you even want to get through today safely and soundly?"
Rose has already started rubbing her fists together.
Whirlpool coughed lightly and quickly zipped up his jacket.
The group joked and played around for a while, and the meal lasted a full three hours.
Wait until midnight.
Having eaten her fill, Rose lay on the recliner, her eyes half-closed in contentment.
"Captain, thank goodness we managed to bring Senior Shang Yan over this time, otherwise..."
It seems the entire army is about to be wiped out.
Wang Mian nodded, and he couldn't help but look out at the night sky, which was stained with ink.
"When are we going to Xijin City tomorrow?" Sandalwood was already a little sleepy. After she got up, Rose quickly got up from the recliner.
Wang Mian glanced at the time, then carefully said, "Everyone, get a good night's sleep. We'll set off tomorrow afternoon."
Everyone was exhausted from this mission, so they deserved a good night's sleep to reward themselves.
"Let's go to sleep then," Rose waved to them, and she and Sandalwood walked towards the room one after the other.
Whirlpool was the first to fall asleep; he had been lying on the sofa asleep for an hour.
The remaining few people glanced helplessly at the already fast asleep Vortex.
Tianping reached out first and helped the vortex up. "Then we're leaving too."
The remaining people worked together to clean up the lunch boxes on the round table in the hall before going back to their rooms to sleep.
...
the next day.
Today, a group of young people came to Third Uncle's Local Cuisine Restaurant.
They all looked quite good-looking. These young people were full of energy, especially one who called himself Li Xuan. He immediately hugged his third uncle's leg and shouted, "Uncle!"
The third uncle was completely bewildered.
Third Uncle thought about it carefully again and again. He really only had Zhou Ping as his eldest nephew. Where did he get another one?
Surrounded by a group of young people, the third uncle rubbed his hands together helplessly.
"Third Uncle," Wang Mian greeted his third uncle with a kind smile.
Wang Mian chatted with Zhou Ping on his phone last night and already knew that the local restaurant was owned by Zhou Ping's uncle. He told the others about this early this morning.
"You've all come here to recognize your uncles?" The third uncle waved his hands repeatedly, refusing in a simple and unpretentious manner, "I can't afford to raise so many nephews. No, if you want to eat, I'll give you a discount."
Seeing the vortex clinging to his leg and calling out affectionately, Third Uncle's eye twitched.
Seemingly misunderstood, Wang Mian was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "No, no, no, we are friends of Senior Zhou Ping. We heard that you opened a local restaurant here, so we came to try the food!"
Upon hearing this, the third uncle was somewhat surprised, then revealed a kind and loving smile.
"Ah, you're Zhou Ping's friends? You should have said so earlier. Does he still have so many friends outside?" Upon hearing the name Zhou Ping, Third Uncle immediately warmly welcomed the masked squad in front of him.
"What dishes would you like to eat? Your third uncle will cook them for you! This meal is on your treat..."
Third Uncle was so hospitable that after Wang Mian and the others ordered a few dishes, he said it wasn't enough and insisted on making a whole table of dishes.
During the meal, we chatted casually.
It was mostly my third uncle who was sighing.
"Seeing you all put my mind at ease. It seems that Zhou Ping has really grown up."
Wang Mian asked with some doubt, "Senior Zhou Ping, he..."
Before he could even ask, his third uncle immediately started nagging.
"This child has been smart since he was little, it's just a pity that he was stuck with irresponsible parents, who were about to sell him!"
"This matter only came to light later..."
The people present were all stunned, not expecting Zhou Ping's past to be so bumpy.
My third uncle sighed as he recalled the past, "Guess what happened next? It was karma. They probably wanted to beat the two children, but they ended up becoming bedridden, vegetable-like people!"
"If you ask me, it's too easy on them..." Uncle San shook his head after saying this, and said no more.
Wang Mian nodded heavily.
After hearing Zhou Ping's story, Rose couldn't help but break a pair of wooden chopsticks in half. She frowned angrily, "That's really too much!"
Uncle San shook his head helplessly. What could he do at that time?
"Seeing you all put my mind at ease. Zhou Ping hasn't brought many friends home these past few years, let alone had any friends come to visit," the third uncle, who was in his fifties, rambled on, perhaps because of his age.
The masked squad exchanged glances, secretly resolving to come more often in the future.
“Zhou Ping was even quieter when he was a child…” Third Uncle gestured with his hand, “Back then, he didn’t eat well and was only about as big as my thigh!”
Third Uncle often gave Xiao Zhou extra help, but he couldn't withstand the daily exploitation by his beastly parents.
"I gradually got better after I went to junior high school and met a classmate who sat next to me."
"Is this Senior Shangyan?" Wang Mian asked while eating.
“Yes…”, Uncle San took a sip of tea from his thermos.
He looked at the group of young people in front of him who were about the same age as Zhou Ping, and couldn't help but mutter, "You guys are all grown up now. Zhou Ping found a boyfriend and brought him home a few years ago."
"Did you find it?" Uncle San asked, a look of curiosity on his face.
"Pfft—", Whirlpool couldn't help but spit out his food.
Wang Mian's face instantly turned red.
Rose and Sandalwood exchanged a glance and obediently shook their heads.
Xinghen quietly ate her rice, trying to keep her presence to herself.
Libra wanted to change the subject, "The moon is so round tonight..."
Moon Demon glanced at the sunset outside, momentarily speechless, but still whispered in response, "It is quite round."
Facing his kind and gentle third uncle, and noticing that the team members around him were all looking away, Wang Mian coughed lightly twice, "Third Uncle, we're still young, there's no rush..."
Third Uncle nodded as if he understood, and took a closer look at Wang Mian, whose face was flushed. "Third Uncle has high hopes for you. When you find a partner, bring them to Third Uncle for a meeting, and Third Uncle will give you a big red envelope!"
Wang Mian nodded somewhat reservedly, "Mm."
After the meal, they left behind all the gifts they had bought.
"Please accept this. Senior Zhou Ping has been a great help to us this time," Rose said warmly.
My third uncle's eyes were a little moist.
"We're leaving, Third Uncle. We'll definitely come again next time!" Whirlpool waved enthusiastically to Third Uncle as they were leaving.
"Hey, you don't need to pay next time you come."
The Masked Squad waved to Third Uncle and left Xijin City.
Their holiday is not over yet.
"Captain, where are we going next?" Tanxiang asked, looking around as they walked down the street.
"Hmm... it's up to you guys to decide what to do next?" Wang Mian glanced at the time on his phone. "There are still more than ten days of vacation left. Where do you want to go? I'll plan it out tonight."
"Hey, Captain, let's make a plan for the future. You've got a rare holiday, so relax a bit!" Whirlpool nudged Wang Mian's shoulder and said with a smile.
Wang Mian smiled upon hearing this, and stretched lazily. "Alright."
"It's a pity the holiday was so short. We have to go back to work after the holiday, and we don't know when the next holiday will be..."
"I think it shouldn't be too far off."
"What?"
"The day when we can have a full vacation won't be far off."
We will eventually achieve victory.
