Chapter 141: You Arrived Just in Time

Upon hearing Sister Tuozi’s question, Jiang Yun instinctively replied, "Watch what? This year's tournament is like a pile of crap. What’s there to watch?"

Faced with Jiang Yun’s answer, Sister Tuozi’s mouth hung slightly agape, and she even forgot to drop the crispy pork strips into the fryer.

"Brother Yunzi, are you really that bold? You dare to say things like that? Aren't you afraid of getting flamed?"

Jiang Yun looked completely unbothered. "Afraid of what? It’s the truth, isn’t it? The games have been playing more and more like a pile of crap in recent years. I’ve lost all desire to watch."

Mozi, standing to the side, quipped, "Even if it’s a fact, Brother Yunzi, you really shouldn't say such things in public. You'll get scolded."

"It doesn't matter. They can't out-flame me anyway."

As he spoke, Jiang Yun used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of crispy pork that looked ready and popped it into his mouth.

"Hiss—a bit hot, but the taste is good."

"Let me try." Mozi said, picking up a piece herself and putting it in her mouth.

She then gave Sister Tuozi a thumbs up. "It really is delicious."

Hearing their praise, Sister Tuozi lifted her chin. "Are you kidding? Does my craft even need questioning?"

At this moment, Mozi looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "Brother Yunzi, are you busy tonight?"

Jiang Yun glanced at Mozi and shook his head. "No, why?"

Mozi’s eyes lit up. "Then how about we play some games together tonight?"

Jiang Yun gave the unfinished crispy pork in his hand a strange look. "Tsk, these crispy pork strips aren't that easy to eat, are they?"

"Hey! What are you saying, Brother Yunzi?"

Mozi waved her hand and laughed. "I just genuinely wanted to invite you over to taste Sister Tuozi’s cooking. How could I possibly be trying to use a meal like this to trick you into being my traffic booster? I’m not that kind of person."

Jiang Yun: ...

*Chang Wei, you still claim you don’t know martial arts! You have 'murderer' written all over your face.*

In truth, Jiang Yun had guessed it before he even arrived; Mozi definitely needed a favor, otherwise, why would she treat him to a meal for no reason?

It was just that Jiang Yun didn't really mind. It wasn't like it was anything difficult for him to do.

"Sure, let's play games tonight. But I won't be playing too late; my streaming schedule has shifted to the mornings recently, so I’ve been sleeping early."

Hearing Jiang Yun agree to her collaboration request, the smile on Mozi’s face grew even wider.

She picked up a piece of crispy pork and held it out to Jiang Yun’s mouth. "Eat more, eat more."

For Mozi, trading a plate of crispy pork to get a traffic magnet like Jiang Yun into her stream was clearly a very profitable deal!

However, just then, the door to Mozi’s apartment opened, and a man walked in.

Hearing the door, everyone instinctively looked toward the entrance.

"Oh? Why are you back?" Mozi asked, sounding somewhat surprised to see the man at the door.

The man looked at Mozi and Jiang Yun with a strange expression, his gaze eventually settling on the chopsticks in Mozi’s hand. "Am I... coming back at a bad time?"

Mozi understood what he meant. She put down the chopsticks and said to the man, "This is Brother Yunzi, the neighbor from upstairs I told you about."

She then turned to Jiang Yun and said, "And this is my boyfriend, Yongyuan."

"Oh~"

Hearing the introduction, Jiang Yun tilted his head and turned to Yongyuan. "No, you’re coming at exactly the right time!"

Yongyuan: ??????

"Stop teasing him; he can’t take a joke. Be careful, or he might lose his temper and start a fight with you," Mozi said with a laugh.

Yongyuan, having now seen Sister Tuozi frying the pork, realized things weren't as complicated as they seemed. He smiled and said, "Mozi, look at what you’re saying, making it sound like I’m some violent person. Am I the type to just go around hitting people?"

"No, I’m just afraid you’ll lose your cool and end up in the hospital after a beating from Brother Yunzi," Mozi said, winking at Yongyuan.

Yongyuan: ...

*What kind of talk is that? What kind of talk is that! If you have the guts, let’s have a duel!*

Yongyuan didn't take Mozi’s words to heart, assuming she was just joking.

He walked up to Jiang Yun and extended a hand. "Nice to meet you, I’m Yongyuan. I’ve heard Mozi mention you often, so it’s good to finally see you in person."

Jiang Yun reached out and shook Yongyuan’s hand. "Nice to meet you, I’m Jiang Yun."

As they shook hands, Mozi picked up a piece of crispy pork and offered it to Yongyuan. "Try Sister Tuozi’s cooking."

Seeing Mozi’s action, Jiang Yun frowned and stepped back, making his disdain clear.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Hearing Jiang Yun clicking his tongue, Mozi rolled her eyes. "What, are you jealous? Then go find someone yourself!"

Jiang Yun spread his hands. "It’s not that I don’t want to, but there are too many surveillance cameras these days. If I drag a club around, everyone guards against me. How am I supposed to knock them out?"

Mozi: ???
Sister Tuozi: ???
Yongyuan: ???

After a long pause, everyone finally understood what Jiang Yun meant. It was a "caveman" meme he had used to mock Mozi during their previous gaming sessions.

"Huh?" Sister Tuozi, who was still frying, turned to Jiang Yun and asked, "Then how did you break up with your ex-girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, a look of sadness appeared on Jiang Yun’s face.

Everyone’s eyes narrowed when they saw his expression. *There’s a story here!*

"Sigh, it’s all my fault. When we were out shopping back then, I didn’t keep a close eye on the back of her head, and someone came up from behind and knocked her out with a club and dragged her away."

Mozi: ...
Yongyuan: ...
Sister Tuozi: ...

*Is this stupid meme ever going to end?*

"So, Brother Yunzi, what type do you like? Maybe I know someone; I could introduce you."

"What type?" Jiang Yun pondered seriously. Just as he was about to speak, Mozi cut in, "Don't you dare say that trashy meme about 'long hair and big waves'."

Jiang Yun: ...

*Good grief, she’s already predicting my moves?*

"Then have you heard an old saying?" Jiang Yun asked, looking at Mozi.

"What old saying?"

"If a woman cannot see her own toes when she looks down, she is a peerless beauty!"

"Hmm?" Mozi frowned. "You like women with bound feet?"

Jiang Yun: ...

"The Qing Dynasty is over! Where would I find someone with bound feet!" Jiang Yun retorted irritably.

"Oh~" Mozi’s expression turned to one of sudden realization. "You like blind women! Why? Is it because you’re worried that if they open their eyes and see you, they’ll lose all desire to be in a relationship?"

Jiang Yun: ...

After a brief silence, Jiang Yun said with a forced smile, "I like your great-uncle!"

"Huh?!"

Mozi pretended to be shocked and stared at Jiang Yun. "So, Brother Yunzi, you really are gay!"
