Chapter 68: Chapter 68: One Disaster After Another
After eating and drinking their fill, the group sat and watched the rain.
Gu Xulin sighed. It really was a unique feeling.
A bitter one.
"I’m so bored. I wish there was some entertainment," said Zhong Mingrui, who was draped over Zhong Siqi after eating his fill.
Zhong Siqi shot him a look. "Then why don’t you perform something for everyone?"
Zhong Mingrui actually puffed up with confidence. "Alright, I’ll recite a poem for everyone!"
Song Yi immediately started clapping. If he didn’t show some support, the fragile boat of their friendship was about to sink.
Gu Zhao clapped her hands too.
With Gu Zhao’s encouragement, Zhong Mingrui felt like he could ascend to the heavens in the next second!
He stood up, gazing into the distance with a profound expression. "AHEM... ’I doze in spring, not knowing it’s morn, but mosquitoes bite me everywhere! I hear the wind and rain at night, and see my wallet’s looking light.’"
Zhong Siqi smacked Zhong Mingrui right on the butt.
Zhong Mingrui was deeply wronged. "Bro, what was that for?! That’s the poem you’re always reciting."
’I’ve been wronged! Why did he hit me? I didn’t even mess up the lines.’
Zhong Siqi looked away guiltily. "I didn’t, I wasn’t, don’t talk nonsense."
"Hmph! Big King said that dishonest adults will have their weekends canceled!"
Gu Zhao: ’Did I say that? Whatever. Every day is the weekend for me.’
Zhong Siqi fell silent. That was a low blow!
As the atmosphere livened up, Song Yi also offered a performance. "Let me sing a song for everyone!"
Song Zhe panicked. With his brother’s singing skills, he’d rather listen to a toad croaking! He tried to change the subject, "Hey, what are they doing over there?"
Sure enough, Song Yi was distracted. Looking at the group of animals huddled together, he grew curious too. "Big King, are they chatting as well?"
Gu Zhao didn’t know either. Ever since she came here, she felt like she was deaf.
She couldn’t understand a thing.
’Why do other languages even have to exist in this world? It’s just bullying a kid!’
When Tiger and the other animals saw Gu Zhao looking at them, they instantly grew tense.
Hua Baozi, however, rolled his eyes. "Ahem, what a great opportunity! Go on, hurry up and tell Xiangxiang loudly! That you like her!"
The elephant hesitated. ’Would Xiangxiang like them?’
The three tiger brothers had spent some time with Gu Zhao before, and Tiger in particular was a tiger Gu Zhao had even slept on.
The three of them walked over confidently.
The other animals saw this and instantly became anxious. ’How can we let them go first!’
’What if Xiangxiang gets a deeper impression of them!’
’No way!’ The other animals immediately rushed over, and in the end, they were all squeezed together.
The animals struggled to push their way in front of Gu Zhao.
Zhong Mingrui and Song Yi were thrilled to see them, and Gu Zhao was also curious about what they were up to.
Zhong Siqi, Song Zhe, and Gu Xulin appeared a bit more composed, but they were also observing secretly.
"Baka yarou!"
"Baka yarou!!"
The animals shouted one after another, afraid that if they were a step slower than some other little charmer, Gu Zhao wouldn’t notice them.
Not a single animal noticed that Gu Zhao’s face had already darkened.
Nor did they notice Hua Baozi, who had already snuck away and climbed a tree.
Tiger, relying on the fact that he was the tiger Gu Zhao had slept on, squeezed to the very front, struck a cool pose, and yelled at Gu Zhao, "Baka yarou!"
"Screw your sister! Go to hell!!" Gu Zhao couldn’t take it anymore! She wrapped both arms around the tiger’s neck, and with a grunt of effort, executed a shoulder throw.
The tiny girl, in her fury, actually threw Tiger so hard he was left completely dazed.
Tiger had a look of utter confusion. ’Who am I? Where am I? What was I about to do?’
The other animals were also startled. Seeing how furious Gu Zhao was, who wouldn’t understand? They had been tricked by Hua Baozi!!
’That "baka yarou" was definitely not something nice!’
Gu Xulin was dumbfounded. ’Is this my sister?’
’Holy crap! A King Kong Barbie?’
’Thank goodness... Thank goodness he hadn’t made his sister angry.’
Song Zhe and the others were also completely and utterly dumbfounded...
The bullet screen comments went wild.
[HOLY SHIT?! HOLY SHIT?! Is that something a human can do?!]
[Is this show meant to shatter my entire perception of reality? A tiger got thrown into a daze by a person? Gu Zhao is a King Kong Barbie? She shoulder-threw a tiger?]
[The other animals’ reactions are priceless. What on earth did they say to turn our Monkey King into a King Kong Barbie?]
[Aibao Pet Hospital: Is the tiger injured? Not worried about its body, mainly worried about its pride. After all, in the animal kingdom, being flipped over by a cub is harder to recover from than a broken bone.]
[Tiger: Fam, do you guys think that fall hurt?]
In an instant, Weibo’s hot search topics exploded.
#ATigersPrideIsNotPride#
#GuZhaoShoulderThrowsTiger#
#ATigersTragicLife#
Unsuspecting netizens just thought, ’Have clickbait headlines made it to the hot search list now?’
’Such an exaggeration.’
But the next second after they clicked on the hot search, everyone was stunned.
[Human cub? Shoulder throw? Tiger? I obviously know what each of these words means, so why do I feel like all my schooling was for nothing? I can’t comprehend this!! I’m gonna go tell my language teacher I need to start over!]
[It’s just for show, right? No one’s actually dumb enough to believe this, are they? The special effects are pretty realistic, though.]
[I’ve been a special effects analyst for twelve years, I’ve gone over it frame-by-frame three times and can’t find any trace of CGI. After studying for so many years, for the first time, I’m starting to think my education was a waste... This is actually real?!]
The guests didn’t know about the shock online, but they were certainly aware of their own.
Song Zhe’s curiosity was off the charts, but he was afraid that the bad-tempered Gu Zhao might give him a taste of that too.
His body was no match for a tiger’s. If she did that to him, he’d have to leech off his little brother for the rest of his life.
’Though, he was already leeching off him now.’
’But that would hurt so much...’ Song Zhe looked at Gu Xulin, blinking his eyes at him furiously.
’You get it, right? Right? Right!’
And Gu Xulin actually understood...
"Gu... Gu Xiao Zhao..." Gu Xulin was scared too.
Gu Zhao looked over, still huffing with anger.
Gu Xulin instantly felt the hair on his body stand on end. "What did they do?"
At the mention of this, Gu Zhao’s face grew even darker. "They called me a ’baka yarou’!"
The others: ’Alright, the tiger deserved it.’
Tiger: ...
The other animals: ...
Only the leopard who had framed them knew whether it was deserved or not.
And Hua Baozi had already hidden in a tree.
Below the tree were a few wild boars and the animals that had chased him.
"You get down here! We promise we won’t beat you to death!!" The animals who had learned "baka yarou" were practically gnashing their teeth.
The wild boars looked baffled. ’What’s happening?’
The elephant angrily shook the tree with its trunk.
Hua Baozi clung desperately to a branch.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yu Xiaowei couldn’t hold it in any longer and screamed.
’What is this mess!!’
’Escaping one disaster after another! Am I supposed to endure the eighty-one tribulations to retrieve scriptures from the Western Heaven?!’
’Or am I about to go to the Western Heaven right now!’
Cautiously, Hua Baozi glanced at them. He hadn’t noticed before, but there were actually a few two-legged beasts hanging in the tree.
Yu Zimo and the others were all perched in the tree; they had been chased up there by wild boars.
They hadn’t expected a leopard to show up too, and one that had provoked great fury at that.
"Huh? Is there a ghost?" Gu Zhao looked up at the sky. Though it was overcast, it was still daytime, after all.
Tiger heard it too. He cautiously got back up, rubbed his head against Gu Zhao’s hand pitifully, then turned to signal for Gu Zhao to follow him.
Gu Zhao was curious too, so she followed right after.
Gu Xulin and the others immediately chased after them.
When they arrived under a tree, Gu Zhao and her group froze.
They stared at the pack of menacing animals under the tree, and the few people and Hua Baozi clinging to the branches above.
When Hua Baozi saw Gu Zhao arrive, he gave an awkward laugh.
