Chapter 141: Visiting the House
Some people just begged for a beating. Fortunately, Sichuan Girl couldn’t take a hit, so she confessed after just one move of the Jiamusi Big Swing.
Otherwise, the Baicheng Heart Kick and the Qitaihe Side Kick would’ve followed right up, and by then, even if he were Ding Lianshan himself, he’d still have had to take a couple of blows.
“Hey, I was just reminding you because I see you taking medicine every day and was worried you’d forget. And what did I get in return? You went and ambushed me! I’m the fair and impartial Captain Dragonfly, you dare assault the referee?” Sichuan Girl said while hiding to the side, eating her malatang.
He still remembered that Lin Mo had said he would take him and Wang Chu to see an old traditional Chinese doctor to get their bodies adjusted.
But in the past few days, Lin Mo had been drinking his medicine ton ton ton, and seeing that it was almost finished, Sichuan Girl thought he’d remind him—who knew things would escalate like that? A generation’s foodie had fallen.
He hadn’t even eaten authentic malatang, but he did take an authentic Jiamusi Big Swing instead.
“Scram. But tell me, why did Class Monitor call Wang Chu over again? How many acres of land does she have? So much work— even a production mule doesn’t work that hard!” Lin Mo rolled his eyes at Sichuan Girl and asked curiously.
He had to admit, Class Monitor Wang really had a talent for it. If it were him, he wouldn’t even know how to come up with that many excuses to ask someone out.
“No idea. Wang Chu said something about going to listen to a lecture together, but didn’t say what they’d do afterward.
“But even if the Class Monitor hadn’t called him today, you probably still wouldn’t see him,” Sichuan Girl said, sucking up some malatang.
Lin Mo said, “Oh? Tell me why.”
“Didn’t he lose to you at billiards yesterday? He doesn’t want to wear women’s clothes, and now he wants to default. You’re his creditor now, of course he’s hiding from you. He’s Wang Chu, not Wang Gang,” Sichuan Girl laughed.
Actually, last night he had even suggested Wang Chu try it once — maybe it’d make for some fun content — but Wang Chu had rather died than agree. He said he’d rather not return to the dorm for a while, just to avoid Lin Mo. If Wang Chu really turned into Wang Gang, that’d be an utter disgrace before the Mazu Empress herself — absolutely impossible.
Hearing that, Lin Mo couldn’t help but chuckle. He then picked up his phone and sent Wang Chu a message, telling him that today they’d visit his teacher’s home and get their bodies adjusted while they were at it.
Of course, Wang Chu wouldn’t have to appear in women’s clothes anymore. Lin Mo said he’d pay for today’s gifts instead.
After all, they hadn’t even agreed on the cross-dressing as an official bet. Between men, saying “you’re good” was already the highest honor. Sichuan Girl was just the one who had stirred things up.
Since that was the case, they’d just change the punishment — Wang Chu would pay for the gifts. After all, it wasn’t right to show up empty-handed.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mo sent the message, Wang Chu replied instantly:
【Really, Godfather?】
Lin Mo: …
He was already speechless with his two shameless roommates. He only told Wang Chu to hurry back; otherwise, he and Sichuan Girl wouldn’t wait for him.
Wang Chu immediately promised he was on his way and begged them to wait.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Wang Chu pushed open the dorm room door, panting heavily.
“Well, if it isn’t Saint Wang himself! Always running over to help the Class Monitor, but you actually came back today?” Lin Mo teased.
This guy — was he really that dumb? She called, and he went running. Once or twice was fine, but so many times and he still didn’t get the hint? No wonder he’d been secretly in love with her for three years. A top-tier backup like that wouldn’t escape singledom even if he went bald.
“Hey, didn’t I hear we’re going to visit Professor Li? Of course I couldn’t miss that! Don’t worry, I’ll cover all the expenses today.” Wang Chu waved his hand generously.
Well, compared to dressing up in women’s clothes, spending a bit of money was a good deal.
“Alright, you two go change your clothes. I’ll run back to the dorm, then we’ll go buy some fruit at the supermarket and drive there together,” Lin Mo said, waving them off.
At that, both nodded readily. Sichuan Girl hurried to wash up, and Wang Chu followed Lin Mo back to the dorm to change — after all, for him, Sichuan Girl’s place was just a temporary stay. The small dorm was his real home.
Back in the dorm, Wang Chu changed clothes and went to wash up. Lin Mo pulled a suitcase from under the bed and took out a tin box — the very tea Miss Yuan had stolen from her father.
He took just one portion — White Hair Silver Needle, about one tael. He didn’t know the exact price, but it definitely wasn’t cheap.
Luckily, Professor Mu liked tea. Since she had helped him, he had to show some appreciation — this tea would have to do.
As for other things, the three of them were just students — bringing some fruit as a token gift was enough.
“Old Mo, when did you buy this shampoo? It’s great — lots of foam!” Wang Chu said as he came out of the bathroom, drying his hair.
Lin Mo: ???
“You… you used it?”
“Yeah, it washes really clean! Way better than my old shampoo. Why?” Wang Chu asked, puzzled.
Lin Mo gave a dry laugh. “Nothing, as long as it works.”
If Wang Chu knew he’d just used a shampoo that could double as toilet cleaner and engine oil, Lin Mo wondered what his face would look like.
Of course, since he hadn’t realized, Lin Mo wasn’t about to tell him.
“Come on, Sichuan Girl’s waiting!” Lin Mo said, grabbing the tea and signaling for Wang Chu to follow.
Before long, they met Sichuan Girl at the back gate, went to the supermarket together, bought some fruit and a box of milk — all under 200 yuan.
Then Lin Mo drove them straight toward the Medical University.
He had already told Professor Li last night that he’d visit, and the old man had been delighted. He’d even sent him the address directly, saying just to come over.
Professor Mu and her husband lived in a faculty residential area near the Medical University — an old neighborhood, a bit far from Jiangning University of Science and Technology. It was about a thirty-minute drive, and even longer by bus. No wonder the Little Old Lady rarely went home — it really was inconvenient.
Soon, the three arrived at the destination. As soon as they reached the gate, they saw Professor Li already waiting outside.
Lin Mo quickly parked the car and called for the others to grab the things and get out.
“Teacher, why’d you come out?!”
Holding the tea and a box of milk, Lin Mo hurried forward to greet him.
“You’re here! Your teacher was worried you wouldn’t find the building, so I came to meet you. And you kid — you didn’t have to bring anything!” Professor Li said cheerfully. He’d already planned to take Lin Mo as his final apprentice, and after hearing about Lin Mo’s heroics, he was even more satisfied.
“It’s just some fruit. Oh, right, Teacher, these are my roommates, Wang Bo and Li Chuan — you spoke with them on the phone before,” Lin Mo said quickly.
“Hello, Professor Li!”
“Hello, Professor Li!”
Both of them stepped forward nervously, bowing as they greeted him.
“Good, good! Come on upstairs — your teacher’s waiting at home!” Professor Li said, leading them inside. After turning two corners, they went upstairs.
Upstairs, Professor Mu was washing fruit in the kitchen, having just heard that her student was visiting.
At that moment, the front door opened, and Professor Li’s hearty laughter rang out:
“Hahaha! Old lady, come out — my student Xiao Lin’s here!”
Before the words had even faded, Lin Mo and the others hadn’t stepped inside yet when they heard thump-thump-thump footsteps — then the Little Old Lady came out holding a kitchen knife, shouting:
“Nonsense! That’s my student! Without me, you’d just be the gatekeeper! Stop slapping gold onto your own face in broad daylight. You think my student came to see you? Yours, my foot — you dare reach out your hand!”
Professor Li: …
One had to admit, the Little Old Lady took student ownership very seriously — she didn’t give even the tiniest loophole, not even to her own husband.
As the saying went, “Even brothers settle accounts clearly,” and that applied to couples too.
Behind them, Sichuan Girl shrank her neck and whispered to Wang Chu,
“I feel like I just saw Dyna Ultraman reach out to a kid for light, only for Tiga to come out and intercept it. What do you think?”
Wang Chu said, “Exactly!”
Lin Mo: …
