Chapter 437 - Catching the Laborer

Pinliang was thinking of avoiding Mengyao himself and talk to Yushu about tonight's Firetree Silverflower plans- there were some things he didn't really want to mention in front of Mengyao .

He was worried that Mengyao might reject him right away without any concern for his reputation- that'd make Pinliang look pretty pathetic, and it'd have an irreversible effect, too .

So Pinliang decided to go talk to Yushu about it first . As long as Yushu was willing to help persuade Mengyao into watching his Firetree Silverflower performance, then he was sure Mengyao would show up . Naturally, the performance would move her, and that might even make her fall for him…

"Shu is right, Yao Yao! You go take a break first, don't overwork yourself!" Pinliang said, following Yushu's lead .

Mengyao couldn't be happier that Pinliang wasn't bothering her- now that he'd asked her to leave she'd never reject it .

Yushu blinked at Pinliang after Mengyao had walked away . "You need my help, right, Liangy? What is it!"

"Ugh… How did you know?" Pinliang paused, thinking that this Yushu was pretty smart .

"Every time you come looking for me it's to ask me to help you . " Yushu handed her shovel to Pinliang, a smile on her face . "Here, help me dig the holes and tell me what it is . We'll talk about it after I know what you need . "

"Alright!" Pinliang quickly took the shovel, looking at Yushu very gratefully . Every time he went to her for help she'd always cause trouble, but she sure was being understanding today!

Mengyao would probably faint from shock if she were here- Yushu hadn't even promised Pinliang anything! She was just being a little nicer, and that was enough to get Pinliang to labor for her for nothing, for free! Only Pinliang was dumb enough to fall for something like that .

"I'm thirsty- tell your follower to get some cold drinks . " Yushu seated herself on a soil pack, hugging her legs as she talked to Pinliang .

"Sure thing!" Pinliang quickly turned to call out to Xiaofu, who was some distance away . "Xiaofu! Go buy some drinks, cold ones! Hurry!"

Pinliang waited until Xiaofu had left for the drinks before speaking to Yushu . "Shu… I actually do have something I need you to help with…"

"Oh . Tell me- I'll see if I can do it . " Yushu nodded half-heartedly, a little displeased that Pinliang had stopped digging . "I'll dig the holes if you don't want to- tell me what it is after I finish digging . "

"I'll dig the holes… I wouldn't let you dig them, obviously…" Pinliang gulped as he quickly resumed the digging . "I'll tell you what it is as I dig, okay? So here's the thing . There's this tree called an Eskimo tree, and I heard it's symbolic for love . According to legend, if you confess to a girl under this tree you'll be able to win her heart…"

"You're not trying to tell me you have an Eskimo tree, right?" Yushu wondered how stupid could someone get- did Pinliang reallly believe in such an unfounded legend?

"Yeah, I have an Eskimo tree that's being s.h.i.+pped over by plane . I asked Xiaofu to go write some confession notes already for me to hang on the tree . " Pinliang said .

"Is that so?" Yushu said faintly as she busied herself with her phone .

"Yeah, but that's not the main event tonight! It's a little something I call Firetree Silverflower- I'll be lighting up the sky with fireworks on the tree, writing Yao Yao's name with those fireworks in the sky! It'll be a huge confession . " Pinliang didn't know if Yushu was even listening, but as frustrating as it was he didn't dare lose his temper .

"Oh, fireworks? Sounds fun . I'll go take a look, so don't worry- Yao Yao will be coming with me too . " Naturally, Yushu wouldn't want to miss a large-scale fireworks show like that .

"That's great!" Pinliang exclaimed happily as he increased his digging speed . It wasn't a while until a huge hole was made . "Shu, is this okay?"

"Yeah . Dig one more beside it . " Yushu nodded, satisfied .

"Again?" Pinliang made a bitter face in response- it was hard enough just digging one… now he had to dig another?

"This one's mine, and the next hole's Yao Yao, but if you don't want to it's alright, I'll just tell Yao Yao that you want her to dig it herself . " Yushu stood up to call out to Mengyao .

"N-No! Don't…" Pinliang wanted to tear up- all that work and he wasn't even doing it for Mengyao? If Yushu said that to Mengyao right now then his previous efforts would be wasted, and Yushu might even cause some trouble to ruin his surprise tonight! He gritted his teeth, deciding it was not something he could risk . "I'll keep digging… Can't let you and Yao Yao do this kind of work, right? Leave it to the boys!"

"You keep digging then- Yao Yao did say that she likes stronger boys . " Yushu sat down again .

"I'm strong! Look, I'm not even tired yet, that was just thirty percent of my strength! I can go even faster!" Pinliang quickly said in response .

A while later and Xiaofu returned with some drinks . "I'm back, Liang Bro! Are these enough?"

"Yeah, that's enough!" Pinliang gestured for Xiaofu to leave and handed two of them to Yushu . "Can you get one to Yao Yao?"

"Sure . I'm going then, you keep at the digging! Call me when you're done . " Yushu took the drinks and started walking to where Mengyao was after giving Pinliang some instructions .

Pinliang let his sweat drip down as he gave the digging his all- he wanted to portray just how strong it was, gritting through the exhausting work as he kept a smile on his face…

"Yao Yao, here!" Yushu handed Mengyao a drink .

"I'm fine- you drink it . " Mengyao shook her head . She was an attentive person when it came to Pinliang- she didn't want to give him any opportunities, especially when it came to taking stuff from him .

"I'll drink it myself then!" Yushu didn't care- she'd gotten used to conning Pinliang a long time ago .

"Did you tell him I wanted him to dig the holes?" Mengyao frowned at how pa.s.sionate Pinliang was digging the hole .

"Nope! I just said that Yao Yao likes strong boys . He's trying to impress you with his strength, hehe . " Yushu smiled .

"Since when did I like strong boys . . ?" Mengyao blinked, not expecting Yushu coming up with an excuse like that to get Pinliang to work .

"s.h.i.+eld Bro's strong, isn't he? Don't you like him?" Yushu asked .

"Why are we talking about him again? Do you think I'll ever like someone so blind! I'd never bother with him . " Mengyao uttered with one look at where Lin Yi was, annoyed .

Chapter 438 - Injection

Pinliang was soaked with sweat after finis.h.i.+ng the second hole- he looked at the results of his effort, and could almost see Mengyao fawning over him, admiring him for his victory and saying how Liang Bro was her prince charming…

Pinliang wiped away the sweat on his brow, filled with energy and motivation- he didn't feel tired anymore!

He was busy fantasizing when Yushu walked over, a smile on her face as she looked at Pinliang . "Liangy, Yao Yao asks if you're tired?"

"Not at all! Something like this isn't enough to tire me, I'm not tired at all! It wouldn't be a problem if I dug eight or ten of these holes in one breath . " Pinliang claimed .

"Oh, that's perfect! Yao Yao said she likes kind and strong boys, so you should go help other people dig their holes!" Yushu suggested .

"Ah??" Pinliang couldn't believe what he was hearing- he had to help other people with their holes now? 

But now that he'd made the claim it'd be like slapping his own face if he went back on it now… Without much of a choice left, Pinliang started nodding dejectedly . "I'll go help out then…"

"Heh, the idiot's finally gone . Yao Yao! You can come back now! Let's start planting the trees!" Yushu called out to Mengyao, waving at her as she spoke .

"Shu, how come you're like a dumb weirdo sometimes and smart other times? I think you're acting in front of me, aren't you!" Mengyao said, speechless towards her best friend .

"Oh . That's not true, I'm just a kid when I'm with you, Yao Yao…" Yushu pulled on Mengyao's arm . "I'm not dumb, come on…"

"Alright, you're not . I believe you . " Mengyao said with a shake of her head, not wanting to spend more time on the problem . She picked her sapling up and started to plant it…

Mengyao and Yushu were finished with their saplings a while later, and were about to walk back to cla.s.s to rest when some people ran over carrying an oddly shaped sapling… Pinliang was walking in front, giving out orders and the like .

Pinliang was completely exhausted at this point, but ignored the numbness in his limbs for the sake of appearing strong and fine in front of Mengyao, prancing about as they moved the sapling . "Careful there, this is an imported sapling! Don't drop it…"

"Yao Yao, look! Someone actually did it, that thing you called stupid!" Yushu said excitedly as she pointed at Pinliang's eskimo tree . "See, that tree has an injection too!"

" . . . " Mengyao didn't know what to say- was Pinliang really that stupid? What did he think he was doing with a tree with life support? It'd probably die the moment he pulled the injection out . "Ignore him, let's go back to cla.s.s first . " 

"Okay . . . " Yushu wanted to check the whole thing out, but Pinliang probably still needed a while before he could 'light up the night sky' with his Firetree Silverflower project . She could just come out after he was done .

But Mengyao and Yushu were just about to leave when Pinliang couldn't hold out anymore- he fell to the ground with a thump . He'd been digging so many holes that his legs started shaking, and he'd worked until almost noon on an empty stomach… It was too much for his body to handle .

"Yao Yao! Pinliang fainted!" Yushu went over to see what was happening .

"Who cares- someone'll take care of it . " Mengyao couldn't care less what happened to Pinliang .

"Come on, just one look and we'll come back, okay?" Yushu wasn't one to walk away from entertainment .

"Fine, we'll take a look from far away . " Mengyao nodded helplessly .

Yushu quickened her pace and ran over to see Xiaofu frantically trying to hold Pinliang up . "Liang Bro, Liang Bro! What''s wrong??"

"Let me see!" Yushu ran over to look at Pinliang .

"Uh…" Xiaofu wasn't sure if he should let Yushu see, but p.i.s.sing Yushu off was something even Pinliang didn't dare do, let alone him . He moved aside and let her get closer .

"Oh, I know, he's too weak- we need to give him some protein liquid!" Yushu said as she looked around . She grabbed onto the life support injection from the Eskimo tree beside Pinliang and rammed it into his b.u.t.t…

Everyone watching stared with wide open eyes- using protein liquid for plants on a human . . ? Xiaofu was looking especially worried as his heart thumped… Pinliang wouldn't die from this, would he?

"Ow!!" Pinliang woke up with a jolt from the pain- the injection needle was for plants, and it was quite thick! It was an extreme pain to have it injected inside him .

"See? He's awake!" Yushu said gleefully . "I'm a miracle doctor!"

" . . . . . . " The crowd didn't know how to respond to the ridiculous stuff Yushu was saying, calling herself a miracle doctor and all . Although, it was true that Pinliang had awoken…

Yushu, naturally, wasn't stupid- she wouldn't perform attempted murder here in front of everyone . There was a lot of meat in the b.u.t.tcheeks, and sticking a needle in there wouldn't do much damage except cause some pain…

"Alright, no need to thank me! I'll be off then . " With that, Yushu turned and ran away…

Pinliang, on the other hand, turned around and looked at the gigantic needle inside his a.s.s- he fainted from the shock right away…

"What do we do? He fainted again! Do we pull the needle out and stick it in again?" Xiaofu wasn't sure how to react to Pinliang fainting again .

"Shu, how could you poke someone with a needle like that? What if you killed him?" Mengyao was quite shocked at what Yushu had done .

"Hehe, it'll be fine! I specifically picked an area with a lot of meat . " Yushu said .

" . . . " Mengyao didn't know what to say… Her best friend was a little too savage, wasn't she…

Kang Zhaolong had made many phone calls to pet stores already, but still hadn't found a purebred german shepherd… There were mixed ones, but their p.o.o.p was still slightly different from the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing's dog p.o.o.p…

So Zhaolong decided to get a purebred one . After asking around he'd learned that one needed to book and preorder a purebred german shepherd with an indefinite waiting time, since it was a more luxurious species that was already in demand and ordered . The pet stores were only responsible for contacting the source .

Zhaolong was in a rush, and couldn't just wait for them to go make that order- he had to use his connections and ask the upper society people in Donghai if they had any german shepherds .

Unexpectedly, there was .

There was an owner of a large Donghai hotel who had a german shepherd- coincidentally, the owner was a friend of his grandpa's, who'd attended the birthday feast that other day!

And so Zhaolong told his grandpa about it, hoping that he'd be able to borrow or maybe purchase the dog from the hotel owner .
