Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

It wouldn't break completely, but...

Holding his slumped shoulders and feeling the weight on his arms, Zhang Haike felt utterly devastated.

He never imagined that his first meeting with his clan leader would end with him being severely injured and having his arm dislocated because of his mistake in using his face.

No, isn't that how that kid uses it?

Innocent: ? ? ? ? ?

Damn it, I used that to feign innocence, not to seduce. What are you trying to do with that pitiful, pathetic act?

Meeting Zhang Haike's resentful gaze, Zhang Qiling chose to release him and take a step back.

Seeing his clan leader's 'don't mess with me' attitude, Zhang Haike felt even more aggrieved.

The mental torment I've been enduring these past few days suddenly exploded...

Solution: ? ? ? ? ? ?

We've been treating you to the best food, drinks, and entertainment, what kind of mental torture are you putting yourselves through?

Su Li circled around Zhang Haike, who was about to move to Bengbu, then suddenly took out her phone, turned on the camera, and shoved it in front of him. After thinking for a moment, she took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into his hand.

Zhang Haike was stunned when a handkerchief was suddenly stuffed into his hand and a camera was shoved in his face. He was completely dumbfounded and had no emotions left. He just blinked and stared blankly at Su Li.

"Alright, go ahead and cry."

This……

Who the hell can cry now?

Su Li tilted her head, looking at the other person's somewhat bewildered expression, and then took out another handkerchief.

"Come, learn from me."

As she spoke, she picked up a handkerchief and covered the lower half of her face, then leaned against Zhang Qiling.

"Waaaaah, my hand hurts, bro~~~"

Zhang Qiling: …

Zhang Haike: \(`Δ')／

This is this...

Zhang Haike swallowed hard, glanced carefully at his clan leader's expressionless face, and silently took a step back.

He was certain that if he leaned against the clan leader like this brat, he wouldn't even need to touch the clan leader; his other hand might not be dislocated, but it would simply leave him...

That kid's got some nerve...

The incredibly bold Su Li was pulled to a standing position by Zhang Qiling, who also took away his little handkerchief and stuffed peeled roasted chestnuts into his empty paws.

I have a reason to fight the blind man tomorrow.

Zhang Haike was staring blankly at his clan leader's meticulous actions, feeling a little disillusioned, when he suddenly met the clan leader's gaze.

amount……

After racking his brains for a moment, hesitantly handed over the handkerchief, then looked expectantly at the clan leader…

(?7?7?6?3?7?7)

Zhang Qiling took the handkerchief and put it away, giving him a somewhat satisfied look.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it felt like the clan leader's gaze towards him had softened just a little bit?

Should, probably, maybe... yes?

but……

Zhang Haike looked enviously at Su Li, whose cheeks were bulging with roasted chestnuts. "Why don't I have dT-Tb?"

"Want some?" Su Li asked Zhang Haike, holding her phone in one hand and a roasted chestnut in the other.

Although he really wanted to, Zhang Haike's body was firmly shaking its head: Damn it, I really want to...

Seeing that the other party was being hypocritical, Su Li held up her phone.

"Why don't you cry? If you cry, I'll give it to you."

Su Li grinned mischievously, planning to get this guy with the innocent face to make more of a variety of expressions later. He could create a 'Wuxie whimpering compilation' without Wuxie knowing.

Zhang Haike's face darkened, and he silently offered his sincerest 'greetings' to this kid who had the appearance of a young boy but was actually a middle-aged man with a wicked sense of humor.

Su Li sighed in disappointment at the failed plan and put her phone away. This person was no fun at all, not as innocent and cute as Xiao Tian.

dislike……

"Chieftain~~~"

Zhang Haike's emotionally charged address of "Clan Chief" provoked Zhang Qiling to take another step back.

"If you don't speak properly, your clan leader is going to kick you out of here..."

Zhang Qiling's expression went beyond mere disgust; it was practically an insult directed at him with his face...

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Haike coughed twice after being reminded by Su Li, and made himself look serious.

Looking at Wu Xie, who was almost exactly the same except for being a few years older, Zhang Qiling still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Shh..."

A folding fan was unfolded in front of him, completely obscuring Zhang Haike's face.

"Alright, go ahead and say it."

Su Li gave Zhang Qiling a look that said, "Come on, praise me!" and gave herself a thumbs up for her thoughtfulness.

Zhang Haike: ...

Hug yourself, who was so aggrieved you almost burst into tears...

"Chieftain, how have you been lately?"

How have you been lately?

Are you in a good mood?

Were you injured on either of those two trips?

Do you have enough money on hand?

Have you been bullied by anyone while living with the Xie family these past few years?

A barrage of questions came out, and Zhang Haike almost slapped himself.

That's not what I meant to say at all!!!

Zhang Qiling looked at the other person, who had their head down, looking like they regretted it so much they wanted to disappear into the ground. She really wanted to say that if you can't find a topic to talk about, you don't have to...

"I'm very good."

In short, this can be considered a response.

Those three simple words almost brought Zhang Haike to tears of joy. "Waaah, it's been so hard! The clan leader is finally willing to talk to me..."

An excited Zhang Haike trembled as he rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a black bank card, which he tried to shove into Zhang Qiling's hand, but Zhang Qiling dodged it.

With just this small gesture, Zhang Haike, who had just been cured, is about to get emotional again.

Zhang Qiling thought for a moment, then took Su Li's hand that was holding the folding fan down and looked intently into Zhang Haike's eyes.

"I'm doing fine, I don't need this."

He is living a good life now. His memory is no longer lost, he will no longer be blessed with newfound knowledge, he eats well, sleeps well, and has a group of loyal companions by his side...

Looking at Zhang Qiling's serious face, Zhang Haike thought for a moment and then suddenly stuffed the bank card into Su Li's hand.

吃瓜·黎：?6?1?0?1·?0?8?2?3·?0?8?0?1*?6?2?7?7?0?3?0?3

And it even includes finding bargains?

Meeting Su Li's subtle gaze, Zhang Haike felt uneasy and dared not look at him.

"Consider it a small gift..."

A gift for meeting...

He understands this.

Su Li rummaged through her own space and pulled out a gold nugget shaped like a dagger, handing it to Zhang Haike.

"Reciprocity is reciprocated."

Zhang Haike now truly believes that the clan chief is doing quite well, at least materially.

This casually given piece of paper could be used as a brick or a gold nugget, even though the amount in the bank account he gave was probably higher than this gold dagger. But he specially prepared it for the clan leader, and the other party's return gift was just something he casually pulled out!

A teenager can just casually pull such a large gold brick out of his pocket...

What kind of family is this?

But where did this kid put such a big piece? I can't even tell!
