Chapter 808: The Missing Wu Hai

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Zhou was unaware of who Sun Ming was referring to but one thing was certain . What he wanted to do was definitely unheard of . Although Yuan Zhou did not know what the Tour of Hainan was, it was definitely a large scale competition since it would be covered by the TV stations .

To become the champion after only one year of training was no different than wishing to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun .

Although Sun Ming’s clothing store wasn’t too big, but it had a good location and had a great potential for growth . For the sake of courting a woman, he had agreed to transfer the ownership of the store to someone else . His father would probably be infuriated to death if he knew this . But based on Yuan Zhou’s understanding of Sun Ming’s father, before he was infuriated to death, he would probably first beat Sun Ming to death .

“My original consideration is if I should hire someone to take care of the store for me . But ultimately, I decided to put all my focus into it . After all, it is not easy to become the champion,” Sun Ming said with a serious expression that was rarely seen on him . “By the way, apart from my college entrance examination, I have never been this serious in my life . I personally feel like pursuing my goddess is even more meaningful than the college entrance examination . ”

Speaking of Sun Ming, something rather miraculous had happened to him . He was initially a bad student . Let alone being a first-class undergraduate, he would probably fail to be even a third-class undergraduate . But midway through his senior year, his grandmother had suddenly passed away . Before she passed, Sun Ming had promised that he would pass the entrance examination .

After that, using only half his senior year, he started studying and was even able to pass the entrance examination for one of the major colleges . This was an unbelievable achievement . Unfortunately, he seemed to have spent too much time studying that it had harmed him instead . Ever since he passed the examination, he had turned into the lazy person he was today .

In truth, Sun Ming had been speaking the majority of the words during this conversation . Yuan Zhou had not spoken anything, nor would he ask anything . For the sake of a woman, it was not worth this sacrifice . However, it was the affair between Sun Ming and the woman . As a third party, it was pointless for Yuan Zhou to say more .

For example, for the sake of pursuing that woman, Sun Ming had changed his career and started cycling . But even with that, there was no guarantee that the woman would be his girlfriend . For others, this was absolutely stupid of him but for Sun Ming, he was extremely happy to be doing that .

“With your support, I feel braver,” Sun Ming said . “But if I do end up failing, I will have neither my store or the girlfriend . That would be very bad, isn’t it?”

Sun Ming’s mood seemed to have improved considerably since he could already joke around .

Yuan Zhou was never a friend that knew how to comfort or advise someone . He could only do two things, with the first being offering his companionship .

And the second was…

“Sun Ming, if one day you have no money for food, come work at my restaurant . I will give you a high salary, salary enough for you to not starve,” Yuan Zhou offered seriously . This was the second thing he could do: ensuring that his friend would not starve .

“Are you trying to be my grandfather?” Sun Ming shifted the mood of the conversation . “Good, I shall help you with that . Grandfather, can you teach me how to cook? I feel like gaining control over my goddess’s stomach will be a good strategy to capture her heart . ”

“You don’t have the talent for that,” Yuan Zhou looked Sun Ming up and down before he said .

“Don’t you know that being too honest might make it hard for you to get a girlfriend?” Sun Ming said .

“Um,” Yuan Zhou nodded and continued, “So do you want to go watch a movie tonight?”

“It’s too weird for us two single males to go watch a movie together,” Sun Ming said in astonishment .

“No, only one single male . I will buy you the ticket and you can go alone . Um, to switch up your mood a bit through the movie . There is a romance movie tonight,” Yuan Zhou said as he took his mobile phone out .

“It’s your treat?” Sun Ming wanted to reject, but he recalled that Yuan Zhou was buying the ticket . This made him hesitate .

After all, Yuan Zhou the Compass would rarely treat someone to something .

“Um, I’ll pay for the ticket and you will be the one going,” Yuan Zhou said generously .

“Fine, since you are paying for it, I want to watch a blockbuster movie,” Sun Ming clenched his teeth and requested .

“Watch a romance movie to learn how to court girls . You can’t even get this one goddess . What else are you good for?” Yuan Zhou rejected and proceeded to buy the ticket for a romance movie .

It had never crossed Yuan Zhou’s mind that watching a movie alone was already an incredibly lonely thing to do . And now, he was making Sun Ming watch a romance movie, out of all other genres . How would that make Sun Ming feel?

“That makes sense,” Sun Ming had not thought of that as well . He nodded blankly .

“Um . You may leave now,” Yuan Zhou sent the screenshot of a ticket to Sun Ming and said .

“Ok . I’ll come to find you tomorrow,” Sun Ming checked the time and nodded .

“Be careful on your way,” Yuan Zhou nodded and watched on as Sun Ming left before calling a taxi to return to his restaurant .

It was already quite late when Yuan Zhou arrived at his restaurant . Before he could finish preparing dinner ingredients, dinner time had arrived .

And thus, tonight became a busy night for Yuan Zhou .

Meanwhile, the customers recalled something, or to be precise, they noticed something .

“I thought Shameless Wu said that he will be away for a week? It has already been a week since Boss Yuan returned . Where is Shameless Wu?” Ling Hong muttered while he ate .

“Why? Are you missing Wu Hai?” Sister Wan asked .

Recently, Sister Wan had been putting on delicate makeup before coming to the restaurant . Everyone in the restaurant could smell the air of love lingering about her .

Ling Hong snorted and said, “Missing him? Is he even worthy? It merely feels weird without him in the restaurant . ”

“When something has been by our side for a long time, regardless of whether that something is a good or a bad thing, we will still feel weird when that thing is gone . That is understandable,” Sister Wan concluded .

“You sound so poetic, but you are exaggerating . I just feel like there’s nobody I can scold without him around,” Ling Hong said . At times, Sister Wan would be very poetic when speaking . However, she was a refined and scholarly person so it would be weird if she didn’t speak that way .

“You are only wishing for something to scold . We have someone wanting to take action here,” Sister Wan was referring to Happy and Brain that was seated on the next table .

Qin Xiaoyi, the Brain, and Gao Fan, the Happy, were feeling very weird that the great demon king was not here for them to battle .

And thus, to commemorate Wu Hai, both Gao Fan and Qin Xiaoyi decided to ask for an empty bowl and a pair of chopsticks from Yuan Zhou .

Yuan Zhou was curious about this request . But when he saw what they did, he was rendered speechless . They set the bowl and chopsticks beside them and even placed some food inside the bowl before proceeding to pretend like Wu Hai was there .

The last time Yuan Zhou encountered this method of commemorating someone was when an ex-classmate of his died . Not only was there an empty bowl, there would also be a black and white portrait of the deceased . Fortunately, there were no portraits of Wu Hai here, but this still made Yuan Zhou feel weird .

After thinking about it for a bit, Yuan Zhou reminded Qin Xiaoyi and Gao Fan, “No leftover food allowed, not even those in the empty bowl . ”

When Ling Hong saw what they did, he mused that wherever a silly person went, joy would be present .

“By the way, nothing has happened to Wu Hai, right? He won’t be able to eat well without Boss Yuan’s food,” Sister Wan was visibly worried . “It has been over a week . Is he really fine?”

“What can happen to him?” Ling Hong answered without thinking . “If something has really happened to him, the painting industry of China will go crazy . But everything is still peaceful . ”

That was logical . Previously when Wu Hai had merely knocked his head on the stairs, many famous individuals from the painting industry had came to visit him .

“I am still worried . I will call Zheng Jiawei later . If I know anything, I will let you guys know,” Sister Wan said .

Ling Hong waved his hand, indicating that he was not worried at all . There was no need to notify him about the results of the call .
