LRAB Chapter 109 Xu Wenchu, obsessed with Douluo Continent!
Chapter 109 Xu Wenchu, obsessed with Douluo Continent!
"Haha, Mr. Xu, why do you have such dark circles under your eyes so early in the morning?" Zhao Hai asked with a smile.
"Yeah! Captain Xu, you didn't secretly go out with some woman from the convoy to do something naughty last night, did you?" the old man joked in a rather lewd way.
"Get lost! I'm a married man! Wildflowers can't compare to the fragrance of home-grown flowers!" Xu Wenchu said with a disdainful look.
"Hey Captain Xu, why are you sporting such huge dark circles under your eyes? This isn't like you at all!" Zhao Hai teased from the side.
"That's all because of you!" At this moment, Zhou Qingya also got out of the car.
"Aunt Zhou! You can't blame me for this! Xu the fortune teller got dark circles under his eyes himself, how can you blame it on me?" Zhao Hai looked wronged.
"Do you know what your Captain Xu did last night?" Zhou Qingya asked the group.
"I don't know! Could it be that Captain Xu has some kind of special fetish?" Wang Hu asked.
"No!" Zhou Qingya shook her head.
"Then how did Captain Xu get those dark circles under his eyes?" Su Wanyue asked, her face full of doubt.
"I'm ashamed for him even though I'm telling the story!"
"Hehe! Aunt Zhou, it's the charlatan Xu who's embarrassed, not you! Tell us quickly! We're really eager to know!" Wang Hu's face was also full of curiosity.
"Hai Zi, last time you seemed to have told your Captain Xu about something called Douluo Continent, right? After your Captain Xu came back, he kept saying that he had to see what Douluo Continent was all about, and that you were laughing at him for not keeping up with the times, but he insisted on keeping up with the times!"
So he asked Chen Zhifu to inquire if anyone in the convoy knew anything about Douluo Continent or something. Then a high school student had an MP4 player with Douluo Continent, Battle Through the Heavens, and other similar content downloaded on it. So Captain Xu traded the MP4 player with him.
Goodness, you don't notice anything until you look at it, but once you're hooked on this thing, you're like a man possessed, constantly staring at it.
I called him to bed last night, and he said he'd watch one small part of the movie before sleeping. But who would have thought that Captain Xu actually watched it all night and still hasn't gone to sleep!
"You know, it's understandable that he's over thirty and reads novels, but staying up all night to read them is just too outrageous!" Zhou Qingya said helplessly.
"Haha! Xu the charlatan, you're such a grown man, yet you're not even as good as I was in junior high! When I was in junior high, I would read novels until 1 a.m. at most. You stayed up all night reading novels, your self-control is just too poor!" Zhao Hai was also laughing heartily.
"That's right, Captain Xu, although I don't read novels, when I watch anime, I never stay up past midnight! Captain Xu, your self-control is really terrible!" Wang Hu also joined Zhao Hai's attack, choosing to launch a verbal assault on Xu Wenzhu together.
Not only Wang Hu, but Su Wan also seized the opportunity to confront Xu Wenchu.
"Tsk tsk! Xu the charlatan, your self-control is absolutely terrible! You're supposed to be the captain! With such little self-control, I'm ashamed for you!"
"Tch! What do you know! I was just feeling energetic yesterday and didn't want to sleep! I was just reading a novel to pass the time!" Xu Wenchu retorted stubbornly.
"Reading novels to pass the time? Xu the charlatan, stop being so stubborn! It's not like I haven't read novels before. Do you think I don't know how captivating novels are? And you say you're energetic? If you were energetic, you wouldn't have dark circles under your eyes after staying up all night!" Zhao Hai laughed even louder.
"Hai Zi, I know for sure whether I'm mentally healthy or not. You're not me, so how do you know whether I'm mentally healthy or not?" Xu Wenzhu continued to stubbornly stick to his guns.
"That's right! Mr. Xu, according to your logic, you're not me, so how do you know I don't know if you're in a good mental state?" Hearing Xu Wenzhu's rebuttal, Zhao Hai also used the parable of "You are not a fish, how can you know the fish's joy" to refute him.
"You... Zhao Hai, you're just making excuses!" Xu Wenchu was also at a loss for words.
"Alright, Mr. Xu, I'm not teasing you anymore. I know how captivating this novel is. So what if you lack self-discipline? But you can't do this! This is the apocalypse, and the world is full of strange occurrences. You're the only guide in the convoy, so you're in charge of leading the team. How about this? I'll keep your MP4 safe to prevent you from getting too addicted to the novel!" Zhao Hai offered a feasible suggestion.
"Hai Zi, that's a great idea! I'll take that MP4 from Captain Xu today. You can keep it for him so he won't come looking for me later and ask me to return it!" Zhou Qingya said as she handed the MP4 to Zhao Hai.
"Hehe! Sister-in-law, you were right. I reckon if you hadn't taken away Xu the charlatan's MP4, he might still be reading a novel when the strange things happen!" Zhao Hai joked.
"Tch! Hai Zi, I'm not that kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me. You're slandering me!"
Zhao Hai didn't argue with Xu Wenzhu. "Alright, I know you're not that kind of person, Xu the charlatan. Now, hurry up and lead the convoy out! Otherwise, if something strange comes after our convoy, we'll be in big trouble!"
"Alright! I'll set off with the convoy in a bit!" Xu Wenchu nodded.
"Hehe! Captain Xu, you didn't sleep all night yesterday. Don't let your energy fail you today and lead us to some weird lair!" the old man joked.
"That's impossible! I already told you I'm in great spirits!" Xu Wenchu patted his chest.
"Alright, alright! We all know you're in good spirits!" Zhou Qingya said respectfully from the side.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hai and the others prepared to return to their respective cars.
Seeing Zhao Hai about to leave, Xu Wenchu stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Hai Zi, when are you going to return my MP4?"
"Forget about it today. You should catch up on your sleep first! You're an unreliable charlatan to begin with. What if you really lead us to some weird lair like the old man said? That would be the end of us!" Zhao Hai sighed as he looked at Xu Wenzhu. This old charlatan Xu Wenzhu had really been harmed by novels!
I don't know if it was right or wrong of me to give him the example of Douluo Continent back then!
Back then, I became obsessed with the world of the novel because I read Douluo Continent!
