On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

"hahahahahahahaha."

Shichu felt the eager gazes from the people around him, rubbed the goose bumps on his hands, and continued to ask: "Is there no solution?"

The clerk smiled strangely and answered excitedly, "Of course, when this drink was launched, we also launched a new drink called 'Sad Bubble Water', which is very popular among alphas."

Why are they so popular among alphas? Of course, it’s because alphas often do unreasonable things that make their partners angry. They are competitive and won’t apologize. If they apologize with a cold face, the effect will be terrible. They are the negative example of apology.

But since the launch of this drink, after alpha drank it, it developed a whole new track for it from a unique perspective.

That’s right, it has another alias in alpha: “Water necessary for pretending to be pitiful”.

Who can refuse a tough alpha who never cries but bursts into tears in front of you, keeps crying, and tells you that he is wrong and hopes you can forgive him? Basically no one can refuse this, so this drink has become popular among alphas in an unexpected way.

"It is made from the 'Crying Fruit' that grows together with the 'Haha Laughing Fruit', and it also lasts for an hour."

I see. If you drink it, you will cry for an hour, right?

What a strange fruit! There are actually two kinds of it. Who discovered it? The name is also vivid and descriptive.

"These two fruits are antidotes to each other. Drinking one will counteract the effect of the other."

Hmm? So, you sell one cup and you can earn another share of the antidote money, right? This is an ultimate sales method. Is its inventor really a genius?

Shi Chu felt the tugging on his sleeves, waved his hand, and said, "Give him another glass of 'Sad Bubble Woohoo Water', and I'll have a glass of Alzime Plum Juice."

She thought she should just drink something normal. Such weird things should be enjoyed by others. She couldn't afford such a blessing.

She saw a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in the clerk's eyes when he turned his gaze away from her.

No, brother, why are you disappointed? Do you want me to become as stupid as him? What a vicious mind.

After a while, the waiter handed over two drinks.

One of the cups was a normal purple translucent liquid, similar to grape juice. The other cup was a strange red viscous liquid that kept bubbling. It was obvious that it was made from the same mold as the previous cup.

Shi Chu took two drinks from the waiter and looked at his unfathomable smile. She couldn't help but shudder. "You smile like that. It's hard for me not to suspect that you added something to my drink."

She reached out and handed the cup of red turbid liquid to Luo Yanchuan, patted his arm, and said earnestly: "You heard it too, this is the antidote, drink it."

She and the clerk stared at Luo Yanchuan without blinking, waiting for his reaction after drinking the drink.

"Haha, hahahaha, hahaha." Under their eager gazes, Luo Yanchuan gritted his teeth and took the cup of unknown liquid that was bubbling. The red bubbles burst, and the splashing liquid stuck to the wall of the cup and then slowly slid down.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling.

He caught a glimpse of the clerk smiling at him, and that look was the same as the one when he had been trying hard to introduce the "Happy Bubble Haha Water" to him before. Luo Yanchuan felt a chill in his heart.

I always feel that there is something hidden behind the clerk's smile.

Shichu couldn't stand having a noise-making machine that kept laughing. Seeing Luo Yanchuan hesitate for a long time without making any move, she slapped him on the back and said, "Don't hesitate. It won't kill you. At most, you can go to the Ling family's hospital if you have any problems. Do you want to walk on the street like this and be watched by everyone?"

Then I will leave you behind and run away. I have a fragile heart and cannot stand the way others look at a fugitive from a mental hospital. You should enjoy this blessing alone.

"Hahahahahaha."

Luo Yanchuan took a deep breath and took a big gulp. A strange bitter taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, like an aggregate of some plant's sad and miserable memories throughout its life.

The clerk slowly showed a satisfied smile on his face. He turned to look at Shichu and explained, "Because the two fruits have opposite effects, when the effects are removed..."

"I can cry and laugh at the same time." Shi Chu looked at the person next to him who was laughing and crying, and couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, that's right, but it only lasts for a short time, about a minute." He smiled brightly.

That’s great! This is his motivation for going to work every day. Today he successfully fooled another customer. It’s perfect.

Their young master is a genius!

“Hahaha… woooo, haha… woooo…”

Luo Yanchuan cried and laughed at the same time, with an extremely funny expression on his face. He felt completely ashamed to face anyone, and suddenly buried his face in Shi Chu's shoulder. His body twitched and his ears were red as if blood was dripping.

It seemed quite interesting indeed. Shi Chu raised a weird smile on his face, the same as the clerk's, and they smiled at each other.

I don’t know whether Luo Yanchuan was happy or not, but the two of them were happy anyway.

"Are these two kinds of fruits for sale?"

"I'm sorry, these two kinds of fruits are rare, so they are not for sale."

"Okay." Shi Chu was not disappointed, she just asked casually.

Luo Yanchuan on his shoulder didn't move. He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He no longer had the tall image of an alpha.

Silly boy, your self-esteem is damaged. Shichu immediately guessed the reason for his silence. For an alpha, face is as important as life. Seeing him like this, he must have been severely hurt.

But it doesn't matter, a fool like him can just be coaxed.

Shi Chu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be sad, I'll treat you to a meal."

There is nothing that can't be cured by a good meal, or two.

Luo Yanchuan quietly raised one side of his face from her shoulder and observed her expression. Seeing her bright smile, the annoyance in his heart dissipated. He threw the drink in his hand into the trash can, grabbed her clothes, and lowered his head to respond.

The clerk watched the two of them walk away, then silently withdrew his gaze, wondering when the next customer who had been deceived would come and try the trick would arrive.

He goes to work just for this little bit of fun. Life is not easy, so he should find joy in the midst of hardship.

He had a strangely satisfied smile on his face, completely immersed in his own world.

Suddenly, a sunny and cheerful voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts.
