Ch.135 Confession (2)
Taoist Leader Qing Yin did not know that the senior brother she had just recognized was feeling restless over her, with a heart like a capering monkey and a mind like a galloping horse. She finished her sword dance, then went on to the next step of the process.
She was very diligent this time because she had been looking forward to eating a good meal with Luo Luo afterwards for the entirety of it. It made her exceptionally hard-working.
Finally, the opening the light process was completed. The boss paid the money and saw that there were fine beads of sweat on Qiao Moyuâs forehead, so he asked: âGreat Master, if you donât dislike it, please come sit in our store! Mister Actor too. Everything in our store is made by me and my wife. The ingredients are quality, the taste authentic!â
Qiao Moyu pretended to think for a few seconds before agreeing: âThen we will intrude on you!â
The couple quickly went inside to the kitchen to cook. Outside, Luo Luoâs big eyes stared at Ye Peicheng: âSect Uncle, what is your Dao name?â
Ye Peicheng thought for a bit: âCall me Zhui Yu!â
Qiao Moyu thought about it: âZhui Yu? Very elegant, sounds good!â
Zhui Yu, chase Yu. Ye Peicheng voiced it silently in his heart and turned his eyes toward Qiao Moyu: âSo, in future, if you go out and help people open the light, you need to remember to call on your senior brother.â
*{T/N- Zhui means chase in Chinese, the zhui used in his name has the same sound but it written differently. Same with Yu; the yu used in his name means jade, but it sounds the same as the yu in Qiao Moyuâs name}
Qiao Moyu nodded: âEn, Taoists of the same school need to stick together.â
As she said that, she suddenly remembered something: âRight, I still have something to give you.â
Saying that, she pulled out a cloth bag containing nine walnuts, handing them over to Ye Peicheng: âGive these walnuts to your father.â
Ye Peicheng received the bag in confusion. He took a peek inside and saw that it was the ones they picked that day; only, the outside shell was removed, and the walnutâs color was still relatively light.
He asked: âWhy give it to my father?â
âJust let it be thanks for gifting our Taoist school a talented person!â Qiao Moyu lied without breaking a sweat. Actually, she had been trying to find an excuse all along. She was finally able to give the walnuts out.
âDonât open it. You have to hand it over to your father in person.â Qiao Moyu urged again.
She believed that once Father Ye received the walnut, he would personally contact her! Then, she will be able to make up a good enough reason to not let Father Ye sit on that particular flight.
At this time, Ye Peichengâs phone rang.
He picked it look to take a look, and saw that it was from an unknown number. However, since his phone blocks harassment calls, the call shouldnât be from an advertiser.
He swiped to receive the call: âHello.â
A male voice was heard through the receiver: âHello, are you Ye Peicheng?â
After Ye Peichengâs âI amâ statement of affirmation, the male voice continued: âI am FOCUS Exercise Clubâs VIP trainer, you can call me Mick Yang. I heard from the manager that you wanted a private training program. When you have the time, letâs meet at FOCUS and set the training?â
When Ye Peicheng heard the other person talk about training matters, he immediately lowered the volume on his phone to prevent sound from traveling too far.
He pretended to take an unintentional glance at Qiao Moyu sitting across from him. He remained calm and lowered his voice: âI have time tomorrow night. I will notify you when the time comes.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The other person agreed: âOkay. Then Mister Ye, weâll see you tomorrow.â
Ye Peicheng hung up the phone, picked up the water on the table, and just took one sip before Qiao Moyu opened her mouth: âSenior brother, you need to work out?â
Ye Peicheng almost choked on his mouthful of water. He maintained his composure while setting down his cup, and slowly raised his eyes: âYou heard it?â
âYeah, my ears are pretty good, it really wasnât intentional!â Qiao Moyuâs face was full of curiosity: âYou also know, I have just entered the entertainment circle. So, I actually donât have a very clear understanding of it yet. Arenât you guys supposed to exercise whenever youâre free? So that you guys can always maintain your figure?â
Before she transmigrated, the books have always said that. Moreover, arenât selfies taken in the gym one of the main types of selfies that stars take?
Men show off their muscles; women show off their chest and body.
He didnât know if she was asking this on purpose, or if she wanted to know something. Since he was seen through, he might as well be unperturbed about it. His gaze fixed on Qiao Moyu, his voice gradually turning deeper: âNaturally, Senior Brotherâs purpose is to train his muscles.â
Qiao Moyuâs eyes lit up: âTraining your muscles is very good! Having muscles is more handsome!â
âThen what do you think about the current meââ Ye Peichengs voice deepened even more, sounding as if it could make ears pregnant: âin comparison to your ideal figure?â
Qiao Moyu thought for a bit: âTurn around, let me look?â
