The Human Emperor (1-200)

C26: Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs

“Stop talking nonsense for a moment. I have a matter for you, let’s find a place to talk.”

Wang Chong patted Wei Hao’s shoulders and said.

“Fine! Wait for me here for a moment!”

Upon seeing Wang Chong’s serious expression, Wei Hao also retracted his smile. He had grown with Wang Chong and knew that Wang Chong would not easily ask for another person’s help.

Furthermore, he didn’t like coming to the Eight Gods Pavilion. For him to appear here, it must be some serious affair!

“Gao Fei! There mustn’t be a single cent less for my payment. Pay all of it up obediently later on. Otherwise, you don’t have to dream of living on in the capital!”

Wei Hao threw a sack to him before pulling Wang Chong away.

The scions in the Eight Gods Pavilion were all from respectable families. They couldn’t afford to tarnish their reputation by going against their words and thus, Wei Hao wasn’t really worried about them reneging on the deal.

“Right, Wang Chong, let me ask you something seriously.” Wei Hao abruptly said.

“What?”

Wang Chong turned around and asked.

“Can you don’t call me Youngster Wei in front of so many people?”

Wei Hao suppressed his voice and looked at him with a very bitter expression. Seeing such a sight, Wang Chong burst into laughter:

“You brat! Don’t even think about it! ——”

“…”

…

The Eight Gods Pavilion was bustling and Wei Hao pulled Wang Chong to his seat.

“You fellow, where did you go in the morning? After hearing that you are out of your seclusion, I went to your house early in the morning. Yet, your mother said that you aren’t home. It sure is difficult to meet you.”

Sweating profusely, Wei Hao sipped on the Western Region Pomegranate Juice provided by the Eight Gods Pavilion as he chattered.

“I had something up this morning, so I went out.”

Wang Chong smiled.

Upon hearing Wei Hao’s complaint, Wang Chong felt a surge of warmth. Only after losing it all did he know how to treasure them all.

Only Wang Chong knew how precious this seemingly ordinary exchange was.

Wei Hao would have never known that at this time, Wang Chong had already fallen out with him in his previous life.

In his previous life, Wang Chong felt foreign to everything in this world. This included his parents, brothers, sisters and of course, Wei Hao wasn’t excluded in the list.

Back then, to him, Wei Hao was a good buddy of Wang Chong, not his. Especially during the seven days in confinement, Wei Hao, as a supposed ‘good buddy’, didn’t even come to meet him. What kind of good buddy could this count as? A good friend? A good brother?

Even drinking buddies were better than this!

From then on, Wang Chong cut all ties with him and never met him again.

Only very long later did Wang Chong realize that in the seven days that he was confined, Wei Hao, because of him, was grounded by his family for seven days as well.

Back then, Wang Chong’s reputation was too poor and Wei Hao’s father had forbidden him from coming into contact with him. However, Wei Hao, who was usually obedient, refuted his father for Wang Chong.
