Chapter 2480 Side Story; Nameless Nie 13
Taoist Devotee stared at Nameless Nie, grumbles flaring up inside of him.
Based on his understanding of Nameless Nie, it wasn’t probable for him to not have any money…
Putting aside the fact that Nameless Nie was a master of trickery and had been swindling since he was young, with his personality of being able to use 10 cents like it was 10 dollars, he should be able to save up quite a bit of money. How could he be out of money?
“Captain, if you don’t have money, you must have something else, right?” Taoist Devotee furtively asked him.
The corners of Nameless Nie’s lips turned up, and his expression was confident. “You’re right.”
“Just what do you have, Captain?” Taoist Devotee was invigorated instantly.
Nameless Nie was silent for a moment before responding, “I have a dream.”
“Captain, see how it’s getting late? We still have something to take care of… How about this—we’ll get together another time. I’ll buy you a meal next time,” Taoist Devotee said.
Nameless Nie immediately sent Taoist Devotee a few glances. “I understand. You’re hinting at me… to buy you a meal.”
Taoist Devotee: “…” When did I make a hint?
“The town is nearby.” Ling Miao spoke up quietly. “I happen to have a few questions to ask you two too.”
“Gorgeous has spoken. Let’s go!” Nameless Nie picked up Spray of Flowers.
“Eh, isn’t she your aunt?” Spray of Flowers was curious.
“So what if she’s my aunt?” Nameless Nie asked.
“She’s your aunt but you don’t call her ‘Aunt’, you call her ‘gorgeous’?” Spray of Flowers asked.
“Isn’t my aunt gorgeous?” Nameless Nie retorted.
“She is gorgeous…”
“Then that’s enough.”
Spray of Flowers: “…” While that was true, he still felt like something was off.
…
Near evening, the four of them finally arrived at the nearby town.
“Alright, tell me—what do you want to eat? I’m paying today,” Nameless Nie announced generously.
“Captain, how about we go eat…”
Before Taoist Devotee could finish, Nameless Nie suddenly pointed at a food stall on the side of the road. “I’ll buy you guys some egg fried rice? We’ll add an extra egg for everyone and ask the owner to give us some appetizers on the house.”
Taoist Devotee: “…”
Spray of Flowers glanced at Nameless Nie. “Aren’t you too stingy? Even if we’re willing to eat egg fried rice, your beautiful aunt might not want to eat it.”
“What is it about egg fried rice, huh? My beautiful aunt is never picky.” Nameless Nie snorted and turned to Ling Miao. “Beautiful aunt, do you want to eat some egg fried rice paired with some salted vegetables?”
Ling Miao shook her head. “You’ve already taken me to eat four days of egg fried rice and dumplings. Let’s eat something else.”
Eaten four days of egg fried rice and dumplings?
Spray of Flowers and Taoist Devotee stared at each other, bewildered.
“Hey, captain, how about we go eat a western meal? Worse comes to worst, Spray of Flowers will pay.” Taoist Devotee turned to Nameless Nie.
“Huh?” Spray of Flowers’ eyes shot open. “Why should I have to pay? You guys were the ones who grew up playing in the mud together. You’ve finally met up again after so many years, so aren’t you guys too shameless to make me, an outsider, pay? Where’s your face?”
“Look at what you’re saying. We’re all children of vagrants, so we don’t care about those unnecessary cordialities. The most important thing is being happy. It doesn’t matter who pays. I don’t care,” Nameless Nie said.
“I care,” Spray of Flowers rebutted bluntly.
“Forget it. I will pay,” Ling Miao interjected after some time.
“Are you joking? Do you think I can’t pay? Why do you need to pay?” Nameless Nie frowned and shot a glance at Taoist Devotee and Spray of Flowers with a snort. “Those two are seriously too stingy.”
Spray of Flowers: “…”
Taoist Devotee: “…”
It was clearly Nameless Nie himself who suggested he would pay, but now, he was calling them stingy?
