Chapter 75: Misunderstanding

"You two still aren't running?" A vegetable-toting auntie pointed at the entrance of the alley. "Take care not to be caught by city enforcement."

Only then did Fu Li realize that the setting up stalls was not allowed at this place. He had assumed that it was a marketplace for people to freely trade since there was a large number of people. It turned out not to be the case?

He picked up the two buckets with a single hand and took off in a mad rush, his other hand dragging Zhuang Qing along. Faced with everyone's gazes, using an illusory skill really was out of the question, otherwise they wouldn't be any different from tricksters.

"Aiyo, young people really have good physical strength." The auntie watched the two frantically-fleeing figures and turned to speak to her daughter, who was accompanying her to buy vegetables, "See that? If you don't study well, you'll only be able to set up a stall and sell vegetables after you grow up. For the sake of saving that few market-management dollars, you'll even need to hide from city enforcement."

"But they were wearing branded clothes," The girl felt that she ought to speak up for the two handsome brothers. "They could have set up a stall for the life experience?"

"Come on, who knows whether they're authentic or fake?" The auntie watched a city enforcement officer chase after the two handsome men. "Watch less of those boring television dramas. Where in this world are there rich people who are so bored that they sell fish for money without finding the fish dirty?"

"You two, stop!"

The city enforcement officer failed to catch up to Fu Li and Zhuang Qing despite putting forth the energy of a baby drinking milk. Panting, he supported himself with the wall and complained, "Such good physical strength, but they don't want to participate in track and field and instead run to this place to set up a stall. Are they sick in the head?"

The water in the bucket had splashed all over the ground due to the overly-quick speed at which they ran. Fu Li turned around and saw that the city enforcement officer had long been thrown off. Dragging Zhuang Qing to a hiding spot behind a wall, he then looked down at the bucket. Not only was the fish there, they were still alive. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief. "Great."

Zhuang Qing was silent, an unpleasant expression on his face. He had already been rendered speechless. In these many years, he had traveled the skies and seas extensively. There was nothing he hadn't seen and no dangers he hadn't experienced. But this was his first time being chased by a city enforcement officer so pathetically.

"Turns out setting up stalls at that place isn't allowed, let's switch locations," Fu Li manifested several leaves and threw them into the bucket containing the fish. "Nothing will go wrong this time for sure."

"Hand."

"Ah?"

Zhuang Qing retracted his hand and said with a stiff face, "What's with two men holding hands?"

His palm was burning hot and sweat had even seeped out of it. He turned his head self-consciously, feeling that the way he looked now was extremely embarrassing, though he himself didn't know why he had such a strange thought.

"I forgot about it," Fu Li smiled. "I saw that you blanked out just now and didn't react, so I just dragged you along while I was at it."

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"I'll take you to a place where you can set up a stall."

Applause sounded from time to time at a certain remote corner of a free-trade market.
