Su Chan cried as she spoke, and everyone in the room laughed out loud. Li Yundong also burst out laughing, shedding his image as a leader.
Zhou Qin saw that there were more and more tears gathering in the little girl’s eyes, and it was obvious that she was about to start sobbing. Zhou Qin tried hard to hold back her laughter, walked over, and whispered in Su Chan’s ear.
Only then did Su Chan realize that she had fallen into Li Yundong’s trap. It turned out that she had just admitted to being a pig. Her eyes immediately went blank, and after a long time, her face turned red, and she rushed over to Li Yundong fiercely. “You’re so annoying. You’re a pig!”
Li Yundong laughed so hard that his stomach ached. He was grabbed at and bitten by Su Chan. He hurriedly begged for mercy. “Okay, okay, you’re not a pig, I am!”
Su Chan was so angry that she shouted, “How dare you try to take advantage of me again!” Then, she jumped on Li Yundong’s back with the grip of an octopus and bit down on Li Yundong’s ear with her teeth.
Li Yundong hunched himself up and put his palms together. He smiled as he said, “Yes, yes, I was wrong. Let’s stop this. Get off me quickly. We still need to talk about serious matters!”
Realizing it was time to stop, Su Chan snorted and said pompously, “I won’t get off. You bullied me, so I’ll bully you back. Just talk about it with me on your back.”
With a straight face, Li Yundong said threateningly, “If you don’t come down now, I’ll spank you!”
Su Chan thought, “My reputation is already ruined. Now, no matter what you say, I won’t come down!”
She held Li Yundong’s neck tightly, buried her head in his broad back, and said shamelessly, “I won’t get off, I won’t come down!”
Li Yundong was at his wit’s end. Could he really spank Su Chan in front of so many people?
He looked at the people in the room and gave a helpless, hollow laugh. He then straightened up and coughed as if he was carrying nothing more than a big doll on his back.
In the room, all of the foxes from the Fox Zen School were looking at Li Yundong strangely. Everyone was trying their best to hold back their laughter. Zi Yuan smiled slightly and said, “To be honest, the name of the shop that Su Chan suggested is actually very good. Disanxian… First of all, it’s homophonic, secondly, it is sonorous, and thirdly, it is very elegant. On top of that, it is very much in line with the situation in our shop. It’s really a good name. I suggest we use it.”
As soon as Zi Yuan had finished speaking, Ruan Hongling naturally echoed, “I agree too.”
Cao Yi and the others from the Fox Zen School also nodded. “Yes, it’s a good name.”
Su Chan proudly poked her head out from behind Li Yundong’s back and said to Li Yundong, hoping for recognition, “You see, I told you it’s a good name!”
Li Yundong turned back his hand and made a Mahamudra. With a bang, he firmly patted it against the little girl’s buttocks.
Su Chan let out a yelp, which immediately drew everyone’s attention to her. The little girl’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she drew back her head.
Li Yundong was still carrying the little girl on his back. His expression did not change, and he acted as if nothing had happened. He made a decision and said, “Okay, let’s just use this name!”
Zhou Qin also laughed. “I know a very good calligrapher. We can let him write a few words and hang them up. Then we’ll have our very own plaque.”
Everyone praised Zhou Qin’s idea, but Li Yundong smiled and said, “Why don’t we use the calligrapher in front of us?”
Zhou Qin asked curiously, “Is there a great calligrapher among us?”
Li Yundong smiled and looked at Zi Yuan. “I unintentionally saw Zi Yuan’s handwriting a while ago, and it’s very good. I wonder if she would like to write it?”
Zi Yuan immediately remembered that when she had been writing a psalm last time, she had fallen into a trance, and thus it was seen by Li Yundong. Her heart tightened and her expression looked a little unnatural.
Obviously, Ruan Hongling didn’t know the details of the matter. She immediately clapped her hands and said with a smile, “Well, my Shijie’s calligraphy ranks very highly in the Cultivation World!”
At this time, Su Chan poked her head out again, but she was not behaving as arrogantly as she had been a moment ago. She said in a weak voice, “I’m also good at calligraphy.”
Li Yundong had seen her handwriting when he had been reunited with her on Shantang Street. Her handwriting was indeed very beautiful.
Li Yundong was well aware of this, but he intended to make fun of the little girl. He sighed and said, “Alas, it’s true that your calligraphy is very good, only a little worse than the calligraphy of Zi Yuan.”
Obviously, Su Chan was very proud of her handwriting. Hearing that Li Yundong’s tone was a little strange, she said, sounding unconvinced, “How close are our levels?”
Li Yundong put his thumb and forefinger together, leaving only a small gap, and simply said, “This close.”
Seeing that Li Yundong wasn’t poking fun at her anymore, Su Chan snorted and said, “I’m just a little worse than her then?”
Li Yundong sighed and said, “Yes, in fact, it’s just a little gap. Alas, it’s a pity that this gap is probably hundreds of miles wide.”
All of a sudden, the crowd burst out laughing again. Su Chan was so angry that she shouted, “You are bullying me again! I don’t care. I want to write!”
It was rare for the little girl to take something so seriously. In her opinion, the start-up funds of this teahouse had been jointly earned by Li Yundong and Zi Yuan. The operation and opening of the teahouse was all based on Zhou Qin’s ideas. Of these two women, one was Li Yundong’s confidante, and the other was Li Yundong’s chief disciple. Not only were their levels of beauty and temperaments not inferior to Su Chan’s, their relationships with Li Yundong were also very ambiguous.
If Su Chan said she was not jealous at all, it would be an utter lie.
The most important thing, in her opinion, was whether she, as his girlfriend, could help Li Yundong get his first pot of gold in this life.Even if Li Yundong didn’t care about it, when she thought about the future, she knew she would have regrets in her heart and feel very sad if she failed.
Seeing Su Chan’s serious expression, Li Yundong was stunned for a moment, but soon he laughed again. “Well, in order to be fair, we’ll have a competition later. Everyone will write, and whoever writes the best will take on the duty. How about that?”
Cao Yi laughed when he heard that. “Leader, you’re in charge. You can use whoever you like.”
Li Yundong found that as soon as he had finished speaking, the little foxes of the Fox Zen Sect all got excited and their eyes lit up. He laughed and said, “Don’t be such a dictator. Everyone’s interested, and what I alone say won’t count. Come on, who has the Four Teasures of the Study? Hurry up and bring them over.”
The Fox Zen School did not have much luggage as they had once lived in seclusion in the Taoist temple. However, most of them practiced calligraphy to cultivate their character, and the luggage they carried with them just happened to contain these things.
Soon, the little foxes took out the Four Treasures of the Study as if they were hoping for Li Yundong’s praise. Li Yundong pointed to the desk of the dining room next to them and said, “You can write here. Who’s first?”
All the little foxes were excited. “I’ll go first!” “I’ll be the first!”
Li Yundong smiled and said, “Don’t make noise and push. Come here one by one.”
The little foxes rushed to write the characters for ‘Disanxian’ one by one and then presented their work to Li Yundong. After receiving his praise, they stood to one side with joy.
At first, Su Chan watched them nervously, afraid that their writing would be better than hers. But when they finished, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt proud in her heart. “Fortunately, I used to practice calligraphy with Master. Otherwise, I would be making a fool of myself today! Although the handwriting of my fellow apprentices is good, they are still worse when compared with me.”
As Cao Yi and the others finished writing one by one, Su Chan only felt more relieved. She found that the calligraphy of Cao Yi and Liu Yuehong were beautiful, but they were not as flexible as hers, lacking a kind of charm. On the contrary, the most coquettish character, Shibo Zhuang Yating, was written in a delicate Slender Gold, which surprised everyone.
Li Yundong saw that everyone’s calligraphy was different but that they were all beautiful. Even though he did not deeply understand calligraphy, he could see that these words were all gorgeous. He nodded and said flatteringly, “Not bad, they are all well done. I really hadn’t expected all of you to do good writing.”
Li Yundong lifted his eyes to look at Ruan Hongling and asked, “Hongling, you don’t want to write?”
Ruan Hongling nodded and was about to write when she seemed to remember something. She asked purposefully, “Zhenren Li, as the Leader, why don’t you write?”
Li Yundong shook his hands. “No. No. Spare me. I am no good at this kind of thing.”
Ruan Hongling didn’t believe him. She snorted and said, “You don’t want to write because you think your status is different now, don’t you?”
As soon as she said that, the others also started shouting, “Leader, you should write one!”
Li Yundong couldn’t refuse, so he resolved himself to doing it. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, “Well, since you’re willing to die, I’m willing to bury you! Prepare to be blinded.”
Everyone laughed when they heard that, but they became more and more curious, so they all came forward to see what was going on.
They saw Li Yundong lift the brush pen and draw a circle on the paper attentively. However, the circle was irregular. They were suddenly speechless and wondered, “What is this?”
After a while, Li Yundong picked up the brush and drew a circle again. This time, the circle was in a claval shape and there was a note on it. Everyone was confused and only became more lost. They began to ask each other, “What is the Leader writing about?”
Su Chan giggled and said, “Yundong, are you writing or scribbling?”
Li Yundong ignored her and drew another circle. This time, the circle was bigger than the previous two, and it had a big head and a small tail, with a tie on its head.
After Li Yundong had finished drawing, he threw the pen down and said loudly, “Well, I’ve finished. Feast your eyes!”
Ruan Hongling’s face was full of confusion. “Hey, what are you doing? What are you writing? Which language are you writing in? It can’t be some alien language, can it?”
Su Chan giggled and said, “That’s right. If you want us to go blind by reading it, you also have to make us be convinced.”
Li Yundong glared at her and then said to Ruan Hongling in surprise, “Huh, you even know about martian language. You are quite knowledgeable!”
Ruan Hongling rolled her eyes at him and said, “Just tell us. What did you write?”
Li Yundong proudly pointed to the first irregular circle and said, “This is a potato!” Then he pointed to the second smaller circle and said, “This is a chili!” Finally, he pointed to the last one and said, “This is an eggplant!”
Li Yundong clapped his hands and said, “Isn’t this the authentic Sautéed Potato, Green Pepper and Eggplant?”
Before he could finish his words, the crowd burst out laughing. Su Chan even covered her stomach with her hands, giggling wildly. “Oh my god, I wish I could go blind. This painting is too ugly!”
Li Yundong said loudly and exaggeratedly, “What do you know? This is a painting of calligraphy, a calligraphy of painting! It can be said to be the unique work of combining calligraphy and painting into one glorious piece!”
Su Chan jumped over with a smile and grabbed the painting, which was essentially a scribble. She hid it behind her and said, “Okay, then I will collect your work and leave it to your disciples and followers in the future. I will let them see the stupendous handwriting of their Grandmaster, the head of the sect, so that they can worship it in the future!”
Li Yundong scolded her with a smile, “Su Chan, make sure there are no mistakes later. Otherwise, I’ll beat you bloody. How dare you laugh at the Leader!”
Su Chan jumped up and snorted. “Fine, I’ll write!”
