Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Food Delivery

As a self-reliant young man who had become an entrepreneur, Li Ang would work part-time as a tutor during his free time to supplement his income. Due to his rather good achievements, the fees he charged were enough for him to live in Yin City.

Moreover, Li Ang had a very good way to bring those little devils under control. As long as he did not trash-talk and had a strict demeanor, those little devils could also acquire the Three Virtues and Four Must-Haves, which had made him very popular among some parent groups in Yin City.

Many parents who could not discipline their children planned to hire Li Ang as a tutor. He would go to their houses once a week, and many of them were upper-class families that made millions or even tens of millions a year.

This gave one a deja vu feeling and resembled the American National Geographic Channel’s reality show ‘Dog Whisperer’…

After tutoring three or four little devils, Li Ang, who had planned to go home to cook, received a QQ message from Wang Congshan.

“You there?”

Li Ang frowned and answered, “Yes. What’s the matter, Kind-Kingly-Princess?

“What do you mean?”

“I’m praising you for being a kind and noble princess.”

“I believe you.” Wang Congshan sent him a sad emoji and then typed, “My parents went out to attend their class gathering. They are not at home now.”

“What’s the matter?” Li Ang, who was walking down the road and looking left and right, had a rather guilty conscience. Thus, he typed, “I wouldn’t dare kiss you secretly.”

“What are you thinking? My computer has broken down. Come over and fix it for me. In return, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“I’ll be right there. Give me 15 minutes.”

Upon hearing that dinner would be taken care of, Li Ang was shocked. He rode an old Phoenix bicycle, braving the light rain, and rushed to Wang Congshan’s house by following the Baidu map. In no time, he repaired the desktop computer in her bedroom.

“The computer memory wire was just not connected well.”

Li Ang put the computer case back on the desk, dusted his hands, and said casually, “It’s fine now that I removed the dust. Next time, you can just blow the dust in the fan with a hairdryer, spray the motherboard with a cleaning solution, and then use a small brush. As for the gold fingers of the computer memory, you can also use the rubber to gently wipe them…”

Wang Congshan covered her head with both hands with a pained expression. “Master, Master, stop reciting words! Wukong knows his mistake!”

Wukong? Do you even have the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod that can shrink?

Li Ang’s mouth twitched. He wanted to continue talking nonsense with Wang Congshan but he heard a knock on the security door outside.

“Food delivery!”

An ambiguous male voice shouted outside the door.

“Eh?” Li Ang looked at Wang Congshan. “Did you order takeaway?”

“No, I didn’t. I was going to have a bento delivered to your house at night.” Wang Congshan was at a loss. “Did he deliver the food to the wrong address?”

“I’ll take a look.” Li Ang walked to the security door and opened it, only to see a huge delivery boy standing outside.

He was at least 1.90 meters tall and chubby. He was wearing a yellow motorcycle helmet, a yellow-and-black thick food delivery uniform, and a white mask over his mouth.

“2084? Mala hotpot?” asked the food delivery boy in a low, muffled voice.

“Uh…” Li Ang looked at the label on the delivery package. “It seems to be the opposite unit.”

“Oh…” The food delivery boy glanced at the printed takeout bill. “Sorry, I got it wrong.”

“It’s okay.”

Li Ang closed the door and told Wang Congshan with a sigh, “I even thought you found your conscience and wanted to surprise me.”

“You think too much.” Wang Congshan pursed her lips. “There is ice-cream in the refrigerator. Do you want some?”

Of course, I have to eat that. After Li Ang and Wang Congshan ate a mung bean cake together, he couldn’t help but be tempted and thus accepted Wang Congshan’s kind hospitality. He locked the security door, pulled the curtains, and lay on the bed.

He then fished out his cell phone to play Honor of Kings.

It was no surprise that he had been defeated ten consecutive times.

“You’re a fraud.” Wang Congshan’s face peeked around the back of the cell phone while she was staring at Li Ang in resentment. “Can you do it or not?”

“Woman, you can say anything but you can’t say that a man can’t do something,” Li Ang said brazenly. “I only have the massage that costs 298 when I go for a footbath. Tell me whether I’m impressive or not.”

As the two of them pushed the blame on one another, the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole came from Wang Congshan’s security door. At the same time, a female voice was heard behind the door. “Shanshan, come out and help me carry the groceries. Your dad’s class gathering has been canceled. We walked around the market and bought the crabs that you love to eat the most.”

Wang Congshan gasped and looked at Li Ang. “My parents are back.”

As her childhood friend, Li Ang had roughly learned that Wang Congshan’s mother was working in the education department while her father was a police officer in Yin City. Her family’s upbringing was quite strict. In the eyes of her parents, Wang Congshan had always been a good girl. She did not seem like the kind who would secretly bring a guy home.

“Ah, then we can only confess.” Li Ang nodded. “I will be held responsible.”

“Responsible, my foot!” Wang Congshan said with a squint. “There is a water pipe out on the balcony. You can climb down by using it.”

“Your house seems to be on the 20th floor,” Li Ang said with empty eyes.

“You even thought of that.” Wang Congshan pursed her lips and scratched her head in annoyance. “You go to the study first. Say that you came here to bring the notes over, okay?”

Li Ang gestured that this was okay.

By the time Wang Congshan opened the door and explained to her parents, Li Ang was done combing his hair and had put on a professional smile. Holding a notebook in his hands, he assumed the posture of a good student and walked out of the study. “Hello, Uncle, Auntie. I’m Congshan’s classmate. I came here today to…”

He was suddenly at a loss for words.

Li Ang had seen Wang Congshan’s father down in Wanhe District.

He was the policeman in charge of the death of the old lady, Zhang Cuilian.

Officer Wang Fengnian, who had been a policeman for more than 20 years, stared at him and said, “You are?”

“It’s me.” Li Ang couldn’t help feeling that the world was too small. “I’m the successor of socialism. I’m a member of the Young Pioneers who do good things without leaving their name.”

Here we go again. Who asked you to say all these things?

Wang Congshan and her mother, who were just as surprised, asked in unison, “Do the two of you know each other?”

“I guess so.” Wang Fengnian narrowed his eyes and examined Li Ang. “Are you Shanshan’s classmate? What’s your name? Where do you live? What’s your family’s situation?”

“What are you doing?” Her mother pushed her father. “Shanshan finally got a classmate to come over. Why are you interrogating him like a prisoner?”

Wang Fengnian’s expression darkened as he ran his eyes over Li Ang suspiciously.

“You’d better be honest with me. Otherwise, I’ll break your legs. Trust me.”

Officer Wang’s eyes fully expressed his meaning. He couldn’t let unidentified prey escape.

“Little Li, right?” After whispering to Wang Congshan, Mrs. Wang gave him a smile with an unknown meaning. “Have dinner at our house. We bought crabs.”

Li Ang instantly felt the cold eyes of Officer Wang Fengnian piercing his back. However, as a food lover, nothing could stop him from eating crabs.

“Thank you, auntie.”
