Zhang Lisheng’s cheeks were flushed. “Tina, Tina… I… I… Hey, oh G.o.d h-hey!”
He was blocking her with both of his hands. At the moment when he tried to say something to calm the situation while looking down, he happened to look into the girl’s watery eyes who was kissing his body. The temptation in her eyes made the young man’s head turn blank. He watched the girl squat on the floor before removing his belt. She pulled his pants and underwear down together while sucking something that was stiff and erect.
She was gentle as she did that without getting her teeth on his thing. Tina looked into Zhang Lisheng’s eyes, there was a sucking sound while she did it without hesitation. Her small, soft hand was playing with the young man’s hardened thing. He had the body of a normal person. Since it was his first time experiencing something like that, Zhang Lisheng’s breathing hastened in less than two to three minutes. Listening to his hastened breaths, Tina soon went all out on the young man, causing him to release everything he had been holding back.
Later on, the girl sucked Zhang Lisheng clean and put on his pants for him. She spat the residue in her mouth onto a piece of tissue paper and then said, pretending to be innocent while flus.h.i.+ng, “I didn’t know there’s a disgusting smell to such a thing, I almost puked just now. Remember the feeling baby, it’s hard for me to give you such a ‘service’ next time.”
“Tina, I… you…”
“Are you worried that you might’ve misbehaved? Forget it Lisheng, you did nothing at all. You didn’t even move a finger, it was me who was misbehaving.” Tina looked down and chuckled after saying that. Tina’s sweet voice made Zhang Lisheng panic a little bit for the first time. His heart was racing, he looked at the authorization letter for a long time before trying to calm his emotions. He then said softly, “Tina, we shouldn’t waste time when it comes to business. Let’s head back to New York now.”
Tina was smart, she nodded and said nothing. She took the initiative to take the authorization letter and sent Zhang Lisheng back to the street close to New York’s Lowbige Junior High. She said nothing along the way.
“Lisheng, I’ll contact you when I’m done with the matter. Don’t worry, your new slaughterhouse will soon be opened.”
“When is your birthday party?” Zhang Lisheng asked all of a sudden as if he did not hear Tina at all.
“No idea, that depends on when Sheila manages to lose weight.”
“What do you want for a present? How about a new car?”
Tina was stunned for a moment. “Oh Lisheng, you’re just so stra-…”
“Shut up, I’m asking if you want a new car. Just answer me with yes or no.”
“You’re so cute when you’re stubborn but I already have everything. I think a present coming from a person that I care about doesn’t have to be expensive, all I want is that feeling of sincerity.”
Zhang Lisheng heard that and nodded while his mind was deep in thought. He got off the SUV after opening the door. Since then, he was only going to school and staying home as he always had the feeling that something was off. He did not do anything out of the ordinary. He did not ride on Island Dragon to travel around New York City, he even cut down on his time on cultivating the secret method.
Time flew by, it was already Sat.u.r.day without him noticing. Zhang Lisheng spent the entire night cultivating witchcraft and began studying the two color-changing beetles he brought back from the Amazon during the afternoon as he was feeling curious. He browsed through the internet and confirmed that the color-changing beetles might really be a new species. He purchased a few professional equipments including an insect feeding container, an infrared monitor, an electronic microscope and so on. He began browsing for various data on color-changing beetles and posted on a professional website that was open for discussions with insect enthusiasts.
After a few minutes of feeding, the two color-changing beetles were way past the stage of dying. They were now full of energy. Since they were now much more active, they became much more agile. They managed to dodge twice when Zhang Lisheng attempted to capture them from the transparent feeding container a meter away with a net.
However, beetles could not defeat a human’s movement inside a limited s.p.a.ce no matter how agile they were. On the third time, the young man targeted at the best angle and captured both color-changing beetles with the net at the same time. He walked to the monitor immediately and began observing the beetles’ activity data they performed earlier.
“279.67mm per second, it’s more than last night. It has been the fourth day since their activity speed has been going up. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes and the video footage, it’s hard for one to imagine this,” Zhang Lisheng mumbled to himself as he looked serious like a cautious, boring biologist as if he had never seen those cannibalistic wizard gus that could fly on clouds and even destroy a civilized city which were his products of witchcraft incantation.
As he was done observing the activity data, Zhang Lisheng began removing the beetles from the net skilfully and fixed them using a specific tweezer. Lili’s urging voice came from the door all of a sudden. “Baby, it’s time for lunch. Stop playing with your little color-changing bugs.”
“Lunch? Is it already that late mom?”
“It’s already past 12 now baby…”
“Oh, I’ve just took out my test articles…”
“Alright, I’ll give you 20 more minutes. Come down for lunch after that.”
“20 minutes is enough, see you later mom,” Zhang Lisheng said and placed the two beetles under the microscope. The skin cells on the beetles’ skin began changing color after a few minutes under the microscope.
“If I have one more test article, I’ll definitely dissect the both of you,” Zhang Lisheng mumbled without noticing as he recorded the beetles’ cell-change pattern. The detailed recording of the color-changing skin cells was done within minutes. After placing the two beetles into the feeding container, he posted the new lab record on the internet again. Looking at the various comments on the website casually, he replied in a prompt manner and turned off the computer before go downstairs.
American families had little variety for lunch, they were having beef patties again today. Randy, who had bits of meat all over his mouth as he chewed on the beef patty, shouted when he saw Zhang Lisheng walking over. “Hey brother, the beef today isn’t too shabby, you must eat some more. You’re 17 this year. Seventeen! If you don’t boost your nutrients and hit p.u.b.erty soon, I’m pretty sure you won’t be winning any hot babes in the future. No matter how good your grades are, it’s futile if you have no muscular body when you get to university.”
The Lowbige Junior High’s football team’s quarterback flexed his muscular biceps as he spoke.
“Oh poor Randy, don’t give Lisheng the chance to look down on you in secret. All of the girlfriends you’ve ever had combined since you learned to walk are not as beautiful as Tina Douglin’s behind. My dear brother, the boy that you’ve just made fun of has a special relations.h.i.+p with Tina Douglin! Tina Douglin, the brightest socialite within the New York fas.h.i.+on circle. Though you might not be able to spell her name,” Zhang Lisheng’s brother Harry from another father teased like he was doing a stand-up comedy. He seemed to be more mischievous after growing one year older.
As long as Randy and Harry were eating together, the fight between the duo would definitely be the entertainment at the table. Zhang Lisheng sat down on an empty seat at the table and indulged in the fight as an outsider like he usually did. All of a sudden, his phone went ‘chirp chirp chirp…’. It showed a stranger’s number, Zhang Lisheng hesitated a bit before picking it up.
“Hi, may I know if this is Mr. Zhang Lisheng?” The voice on the phone was a little familiar. The gentleness within his strict tone was very easy to recognize.
“I’m Zhang Lisheng, are you Mr. Howick?”
The person on the other side of the phone was obviously stunned after hearing what Zhang Lisheng said. “I’m Howick, I’ve never expected you to recognize my voice since we’ve only met at one occasion. Mr. Zhang, I’ve been wanting to thank you for the help you extended to my daughter in the Amazon. Although Trish is unwilling to tell me the details, I could tell that it’s impossible for her to find her brother’s body as well as walk out of the Amazon in one piece without you.”
“That’s too kind, Mr. Howick. I heard from Tina that you helped me in some stuff as well…”
“I just had to pull some strings, that’s nothing compared to what you did. Mr. Lisheng, let’s get back to business. I’m calling you today to ask you something, I heard that you’re looking for a suitable public s.p.a.ce to expand your slaughterhouse am I right?”
“Yes.”
“If that’s the case, will you be able to drop by New York City’s Land Administration and Management Department tomorrow at 10 in the morning? There might be a surprise for you.”
“Okay Mr. Howick, I’ll be there on time. Thank you in advance,” Zhang Lisheng said without pretending at all.
“Knowing when to accept a good deed is one of the most important characteristics of a successful person.” Howick chuckled happily. “See you tomorrow, Mr. Lisheng.”
“Goodbye Mr. Howick.” Zhang Lisheng hung the phone up and at the exact moment when he was just going to eat the beef patty, Lili asked all of a sudden out of care, “What’s up with the call just now baby?”
“Nothing mom, it’s just that the father of a friend who I helped in the Amazon wanted to repay me. You know that I’m planning to expand my slaughterhouse. He knows people in the New York City government and he can help,” Zhang Lisheng replied without hiding anything.
“Baby, I think managing a business has taken up too much of your time. You’re still in high school, you’ve already skipped a cla.s.s when school has just reopened…”
“Mom, if all parents think like you do, many huge companies in the world wouldn’t have existed.”
“I don’t mean to stop you Lisheng but you’re still young…”
“Don’t worry mom, I already have a stable plan for my future. You don’t have to worry about me.”
