Chapter 662 - Birthday Banque
"You're a gentleman? Then what are we, just nobodies?? Don't tell me that you don't lust after the Yu's pastries, good wines, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? What a hypocrite! Xiaofan, when the moment comes, just prepare a cup of plain water for him. He so badly wants to be a gentleman, so let him stay one!" Zang Borui exploded in anger and began to argue vehemently with Liu Hongzhang.
Little Shitou, who was stuck in-between them and feeling quite awkward, helplessly sighed within his heart before he said, "My dear friends, just what sort of hatred do you have between you two that make you fight whenever you see each other as if you're in a love-hate relationship? Let's get it all out in the open and decide whether you will both make up or have a clean break. Make it final, alright?"
Zang Borui had a more straightforward personality and frowned, thinking for a long time, before he finally stated with a stupefied expression on his face, "We don't really have a hateful history between us. But, what the hell is a 'love-hate relationship'? Xiaofan, can you stop spewing out these weird and bizarre phrases of yours?"
"You dare to claim that the phrases that my second older sister likes to say are weird. You're done! Be careful. My second sister might add some wasabi into your favorite matcha cake!" Little Shitou had a look in his eyes that said 'you're done for', which made Zang Borui's heart rate speed up.
"Don't tell her ha! Your second older sister is truly your second older sister and has a creative turn of mind when it comes to words. She doesn't stick to the norm and is ingenious in her way in using language to describe the world..." Zang Borui immediately turned pale after hearing this--although he had no idea what 'wasabi' was, he could tell from Yu Fan's expression that it wasn't something that was very good or tasty.
"Such a lackey!" Liu Hongzhang coldly spat those words out but his eyes hid a smile within them. A love-hate relationship? Just who was in love with this stinky little firecracker? As for hate, that was too intense for him. He only liked to tease him occasionally as he thought that the other fellow's angry expression and antics, like a snarling little puppy, were quite interesting.
As expected, Zang Borui immediately exploded, "You're the lackey! Your whole family are lackeys! Hmph! You talk as if you're so high above but I've seen you. Every time Xiaofan takes out his pastries, you always eat your fill! Xiaofan, did you bring any Black Forest Gateau along today? I'm going to reserve them all..."
"Eh? Bear Zang, don't you hate eating chocolate flavored things the most? Why are you suddenly interested in Black Forest Gateau ah?" Little Shitou looked at him with a flabbergasted expression. He had already become accustomed to the two of them bickering all the time. Perhaps this was the way the two of them just liked to interact with each other? Or perhaps they didn't need him to mediate their conflicts at all.
Zang Borui slanted a look at Liu Hongzhang and chuckled mischievously, "Only demons would like the oddly bitter-sweet chocolate. However...if I'm able to prevent a certain someone from eating his most favorite Black Forest Gateau, then I will happily eat them down as if I was downing an unpleasant medicine!"
"What a waste of natural resources to allow a cow to munch on peonies!! Childish!!" Liu Hongzhang wasn't going to be scared by the other youth's worlds. The truth would come to light at the right moment. When had the fellow surnamed Zang ever won against himself? And he wanted to threaten him?
"What's wrong with being a bit childish if I can make you furious?" Zang Borui made a funny face and stuck out his tongue at Liu Hongzhang's backside. One of his other classmates, who was sitting at the side, saw all of this and looked at him with a weird expression. Zang Borui stared at him and aggressively said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a fellow as handsome as myself?"
