SIATOWITF Chapter 51
by VolareChapter 51: Snake, Poor, Wants to Meet with the Seventh Bureau, Bringing the NHE Association…
“Give me a sip of your instant noodle soup.” As soon as Thirteen landed on the boat, he wrestled with Fourteen.
“No way, this is the essence!” Fourteen bared his teeth, pushing Thirteen’s face away, determined not to let him near his instant noodles.
*Patta*…
A handful of quicksand poured from Thirteen’s thick wings, accurately sliding into the steaming instant noodle bucket.
*Slurp*… A long, red tongue stretched out from the sand, and in no time, it had sucked the instant noodle soup clean.
However, the sand clump, no bigger than a fist, wasn’t even as big as the instant noodle bucket, and soon, droplets of instant noodle soup leaked from the wet sand.
“Fifteen, ahhhh!” Fourteen cried out in grief, looking at the empty instant noodle bucket.
“You don’t even have taste buds! This is the most, most, most precious instant noodle soup!”
“Whoo-hoo~” The sand clump swayed left and right, slinking back into the young man’s wings.
“Alright, Thirteen.” Su Nai said helplessly, raising her hand to rub Fourteen’s head again.
“We’re setting sail.”
“Setting sail? Where to?” The young man shook his wings, a few grains of sand bouncing and falling into the sea.
“We’re… going to Yanjing.” Su Nai looked at him with some concern.
Thirteen was the most thoughtful of all the children, so thoughtful that Su Nai wished Fourteen would share some of his exuberance and carelessness.
“…” The young man didn’t speak, but the trembling of the wings behind him betrayed his thoughts.
“It’s okay.” Su Nai said softly, “We’re going to a comic convention, no one will notice your wings. Uncle Qing Teng is going too, he’s even going to play a tree spirit.”
“Really?” A hint of excitement flickered in Thirteen’s eyes.
Unlike the others, whose bodies didn’t undergo major changes, the young man with wings had been avoiding humans since birth.
But birds are naturally drawn to freedom, and liveliness and curiosity are their nature.
Thirteen liked human society, but due to his wings, he could only chat about everyday things with the drowsy night watchman late at night, with a heavy backpack on his back.
Each time he returned, he would have to spend a long time re-arranging the twisted feathers that had been crushed by his backpack.
“Of course it’s true!” Fourteen immediately forgot about the instant noodles, “I’m going to start researching characters! I’m going to arrange roles for all of you! Wah, Boss, we don’t have enough money!”
“We can play ourselves.” Qing Teng smiled, extending a tendril to pull Thirteen over.
“Do your wings still hurt?” He asked softly.
“I’m okay.” The young man shook his head, “But… they’re a little heavy.”
“Bear with it, child. We’re almost finding a way.” Qing Teng sighed, gently peeling open the glossy black wings with his vines.
However, beneath those dark feathers were pitted skin and countless wounds.
Due to severe rejection, tumors had grown on his wings.
In order not to affect his flight, the young man had to grit his teeth and cut off the tumors himself, then sew up the wounds.
“I’m really okay, I’m used to it.” A hint of doubt flashed in the young man’s eyes, “But… you and Sister Su Nai, what’s on your necks…”
“Ah… just temporary tattoos. We’ll get some for you to play with later.” Qing Teng shrunk his neck awkwardly.
He knew he couldn’t hide it from the meticulous Thirteen, but he didn’t expect him to notice the abnormality at a glance.
Alas, when the comic convention arrives, he’d better beg that divine gift to move their totems somewhere else.
–
Meanwhile, the divine gift who had set up the totem was sitting on the bed.
Pondering deeply at the phone screen.
The Snake has encountered a big problem!
Looking at the payment page, he vaguely remembered that he was a poor snake.
At least in human society, he was a poor snake.
The Snake wants to buy comic convention tickets! But he has no money, and doesn’t know Ji Mo An’s payment password.
Snake, so poor!
But he doesn’t want to tell Ji Mo An.
He secretly looked back at Ji Mo An, who was still sulking by the window, and then looked at the interface that required a payment password.
The Snake blinked, and a flame the size of a fingernail floated out.
“Give me some money.” He whispered.
The flame jumped, and a line of words appeared in the center.
[How much?]
As expected, not all family members were unreliable. The Snake happily calculated the number of people.
He also looked at the ticket prices, and all the discounts were gone.
“One hundred and forty.” Then he would only buy tickets for himself and Ji Mo An.
The flame wriggled, expanding to the size of a fist.
The Snake quickly put his hand under the flame.
*Pfft*…
A coin fell into his palm.
A fifty-cent coin.
[It’s…it’s all I have…] The flame fell onto the bed with a *pat*, sputtering out a sentence, half-dead.
“Still short one hundred and thirty-nine yuan and fifty cents.” The Snake began to abuse the flame, “Spit out some more!”
The flame wriggled, and several fine lines of words bubbled out again.
The Snake squinted and looked closely.
[Robbing a bank tutorial. Items needed: black hood, gloves, 1:1 simulation gun…]
“…”
Robbing a bank is illegal, the Snake doesn’t rob banks.
[…Warm reminder: Due to the small amount of money needed, your colleagues unanimously believe that the plan of picking up a bowl and sitting by the door is more feasible. Note: Broken bowl.]
As expected, family members were still unreliable. The Snake slapped the flame away.
Finally, the Snake’s big movements attracted Ji Mo An’s attention.
“What are you doing?” He walked to the Snake’s side again, seeing the Snake gradually becoming wronged.
“Want to buy things, but Snake only has a little money.” Xuan Bai pitifully poked at the payment interface.
“How much do you have?” Ji Mo An was curious. The last time, the Snake didn’t even have three yuan, how could he have savings this time?
“Fifty cents.” The Snake preciously showed off the golden coin.
“How much are you short?” Ji Mo An looked at the coin in the Snake’s palm, speechless.
“One hundred and thirty-nine yuan and fifty cents.” The Snake looked at him expectantly.
“…”
Ji Mo An had never fought such a poor battle.
He took the phone and paid with a flourish, not even looking at what he was buying.
“Sticking together~” In the Snake’s eyes, Ji Mo An was like a god descending to earth. He put the coin in Ji Mo An’s palm and hugged Ji Mo An’s waist with a cry.
His eyes were full of adoration.
“…”
This snake, it’s really hard to figure out his brain circuits. He spent two hundred million to auction off a yellow diamond and didn’t see the Snake’s starry eyes, Ji Mo An’s expression was indescribable.
What’s more, every time he buys something for Xuan Bai, doesn’t it cost thousands?
The Snake was still rubbing against him, and Ji Mo An felt his face heat up again.
“Alright.” He grabbed the Snake’s hair and pulled him away, the action revealing a familiarity that he himself didn’t realize.
“I’ll take that fifty cents.”
Whether it’s one yuan or fifty cents, it’s still the Snake’s savings. Ji Mo An weighed the coin.
Something’s not right…
He suddenly picked up the golden coin in his palm.
How could it be so heavy?
Although the last time he saw a fifty-cent coin was in a friend’s collection album of plum blossom five-jiao, but…
This golden fifty-cent coin was obviously different from ordinary coins.
Ji Mo An silently pinched both sides of the coin and gently snapped it.
It bent…
It’s gold.
Wait, where did this bad snake get it from?
“Brother, help~” Xuan Bai rolled over from the bed again, hugging a pillow and tugging at Ji Mo An’s clothes.
“…” Ji Mo An didn’t speak, still thinking about the gold coin.
Who would press gold into a fifty-cent coin?
“Brother help.” Xuan Bai shook his clothes vigorously.
“Speak.” Ji Mo An lost his temper from being shaken.
“I want to see the people from the Seventh Bureau.” The Snake’s next sentence stunned him.
“No way…” Ji Mo An’s first reaction was to deny it.
The Seventh Bureau has countless ability users, and the Snake can’t say anything now. If he suffers a loss, he has nowhere to cry.
“Nothing will happen, I have to see them. After the Snake’s companions descend, meeting is also necessary.” Xuan Bai swung his legs, like a little snake wagging its tail.
“Let’s book the meeting location first.” Ji Mo An heard the stubbornness in Xuan Bai’s tone.
He didn’t refute it, because he also knew that they would have to meet one day.
But it must not be in a private place.
The Snake had already been abducted once on the cruise ship, and even drugged and taken away right under his nose.
“Here.” Xuan Bai pointed to Ji Mo An’s phone, “Snake, poor. Let them buy their own tickets, the number of people meeting must not exceed seven.”
“Buy tickets?” Ji Mo An looked at the payment interface just now.
“Comic convention?” He was even more surprised.
“Comic convention, public place, many people, even if the scales are exposed, it won’t cause panic. Brother, I want to take other people there.” Xuan Bai hugged Ji Mo An’s leg again. He remembered this method from a former companion.
They hid in the comic convention for three days with six wings and didn’t get exposed.
“The others… are they like you?” Ji Mo An immediately understood what the Snake meant.
“Almost, brother, I’ll tell them before we leave.” Xuan Bai nodded.
The Yanjing Summer Festival is a famous national exhibition with a terrifying flow of people.
If he first took the children from the NHE Association and hid them in the crowd, the Seventh Bureau would definitely not dare to act rashly.
In view of the Seventh Bureau’s inhumane capture of him, Xuan Bai was currently in a state of contempt for everyone in the Seventh Bureau.
If it weren’t for Ji Mo An’s grandfather and grandfather, the Snake would have unhesitatingly listed the Seventh Bureau as a hostile target.
–
“You’re going back to the company?”
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded extremely incredulous.
“Yeah. The yellow diamond I auctioned off has arrived, and there are some things I need to deal with.”
“No way! TheYì shé [different snake] hasn’t been found yet, what if he runs away from the NHE Association and comes after you again?”
“You can call a few people to go back to the company with me. Grandpa, you’ve been watching me for six years, there should be more people in the company, right? I spent two hundred million to auction off the yellow diamond, I have to sign the contract. The summer press conference has to start preparing too, everyone is waiting to be paid.”
Ji Mo An glanced at the snake curled up in his arms, biting its tail, and calmly fabricated lies.
“You don’t know how dangerous it is outside! Bai Yan didn’t go back, I’ll send a few more people…”
“Grandpa doesn’t agree!”
“What if the Yì shé [different snake] holds a grudge and bites your head off?”
……
Bites his head off? Listening to the increasingly outrageous remarks from the other side, Ji Mo An lowered his head and looked at the snake again.
“Hiss hiss…” The snake flipped over, belly up, looking extremely well-behaved.
He couldn’t reason with them… Ji Mo An could only continue to argue and resist his grandfather, who had already begun to list one hundred and eight ways he could die.
Seriously, he felt that his grandfather was more terrifying.
“Are you sure the NHE Association won’t attack you again?” After half an hour of tug-of-war, Ji Mo An, who finally hung up the phone, felt physically and mentally exhausted and started to dislike the snake.
“No, they don’t dare.” The snake was picked up and swung left and right, using its tail to reach Ji Mo An’s wrist.
“But whether the Seventh Bureau will attack me is not certain~” Xuan Bai subtly taunted, speaking sarcastically.
“…” Ji Mo An sighed, reaching out to rub the snake’s head.
This feeling of having a secret that only he knew was too bad, the guilt and remorse were about to overflow.
–
On the other side,
The old man with gray hair slammed the phone on the table, angrily pointing at the old man drinking tea beside him.
“I knew he was going to run! I knew he was going to run from the moment he said he was going to the hotel! Look at the stubbornness you inherited!”
Mu Nanyuan, who was slowly enjoying his famous tea, was suddenly sprayed, and hot tea spilled all over his hand.
“…” Obviously, you inherited the stubborn gene.
Mu Nanyuan felt that he should change his name to Mu Nanyuan (injustice – wronged).
But obviously, this scene was not suitable for rebuttal, it was easy to transfer all the anger to him.
So he endured the heat and drank the tea.
“Your grandson is going to throw himself into the snake’s mouth and you’re still in the mood to drink tea?”
“…” He really was having bad luck even drinking water.
Mu Nanyuan quickly stuffed the remaining tea cakes into his arms, stood up, and walked towards the door, his movements so swift that he didn’t look like an old man at all.
Opening the door, closing the door. He cast a sympathetic look at the people remaining in the room.
“Tomorrow, Lin Mo, Tang Lin, you two go with him. I’ll arrange the others later.” Ji Mo Lin looked at the closed door, and as expected, he changed to another target to glare at.
“Yes, sir.” Lin Mo’s expression was a little restrained.
“You have an opinion?” Ji Mo Lin was in a rage and didn’t like anyone.
“No, sir.” Lin Mo lowered his head and silently clenched his fists.
He had no opinion, it’s just that his phone was smashed just now…
His new phone that he just bought…
New phone…
