208: Chapter 32 Prank 208: Chapter 32 Prank The beautiful night’s end was especially abrupt.

After Li Xinlan had gotten her fill and was lying contented beneath the covers, she kicked Tang Zheng out of the room, using the excuse that she certainly couldn’t let anyone find him there.

Watching the seductive figure disappear behind her closed door, Tang Zheng’s face twitched and he pulled a grumpy face.

He glanced down the corridor on either side and forced out a self-deprecating laugh.

Although he didn’t want to be caught either, he didn’t want to be kicked out.

“Whatever, guess I’ll take a shower.” Seeing dawn approaching, Tang Zheng grabbed his protective clothing and went into the luxurious bathroom on the second floor.

With a digital camera hanging around her neck, Sugai Rinna looked furtive.

She opened her door and peered out; once she was sure the coast was clear, she crept out and tiptoed to Tang Zheng’s door.

After putting her ear to the door and concluding everything was good, she inserted the key into the door handle and gently opened the door.

“Just die.” Giggling wickedly, Rinna pulled the pin out of a tear gas hand grenade she’d gotten from Yin Shangwu and tossed it inside.

Last night, she’d been mocked by a man, and she felt greatly humiliated by it – no one had ever dared treat her like this.

So this was her retaliation.

“Hmph, you should thank me for my mercy for not throwing in a real hand grenade.” Rinna retreated back two steps, ready with her digital camera to take photos of Tang Zheng’s panicked face when he comes running out.

Then she intended to upload them online for everyone to see and laugh at.

“Huh?

Can he really hold his breath that long?” After waiting for a minute with no sound, not even a faint cough, Rinna grew impatient, opened the door, and decided to check what was going on.

The yellow tear gas immediately started gushing out of the door gap, spraying onto Rinna’s face.

She coughed once and was just about to close the door and leave when she felt a foot kick her on her rear, causing her to tumble into the room.

With a loud bang, the door closed, making Rinna’s heart skip a beat.

Almost subconsciously she tried to turn around, banging on the door with both hands.

After yelling twice and pounding on the door, Rinna started choking on the gas and couldn’t speak anymore, she could only bang on the door with all her strength.

Tang Zheng stood outside the room, unfazed, stroking his chin and smirking at the sight.

After he had showered, he had seen Rinna with the digital camera and noticed the tear gas on the floor; he realized quickly she was up to a prank.

“Idiot, don’t you know how to open a window?

Run to the balcony.” After waiting for about ten seconds, Tang Zheng didn’t want to go too far, so he yelled at her.

The urgent knocking on the door stopped right away, clearly indicating Rinna was running towards the balcony.

Tang Zheng immediately opened the door and stepped aside, preventing the tear gas from touching him.

“This moron.” Just as Rinna had run to the middle of the room, the door opened, leaving her in a precarious situation.

She hesitated and, in the process, inhaled a mouthful of tear gas.

She was so infuriated at that moment, she wanted to beat up Tang Zheng.

“Ha ha, how does it feel?” Watching Rinna stumble out while clutching her throat and coughing, Tang Zheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Choking, Rinna was so mad that she couldn’t even get a word out.

She glared at Tang Zheng fiercely, but her red eyes and tear-streaked face made her look comically pathetic.

“The way I kicked earlier was pretty spot on.” Tang Zheng kicked his shoes idly, then suddenly remembered something, took out his cell phone and said, “I need to take a picture.

This is such a rare sight.”

Seeing the old and worn-out cell phone flashing, Rinna was so angry and embarrassed that she lunged at Tang Zheng.

But she tripped over his shoes, screamed and fell headfirst to the ground.

Tang Zheng didn’t want to completely rile her up, so he dodged and reached out his hand to help her just in time for her to crash into his arms.

“Will you two knock it off?

Why are you making such a noise in the middle of the night?” The door to Li Xinlan’s room suddenly swung open, and Zhang Lanyu, wearing her nightgown, yelled.

Upon noticing that it was Tang Zheng and Rinna in an awkward embrace, she was taken aback.

Then, with a “bang,” she quickly shut her door.

She wouldn’t dare to provoke these two.

“How long are you planning to stay like this?” Tang Zheng asked, lying on the ground.

“Hmph.” Rinna got up, ran her hands through her hair, and suddenly lifted her bare foot to kick at Tang Zheng, yelling, “Die!”

Tang Zheng’s reaction was definitely not slow.

Swiftly, he reached out and caught her foot.

If it were not for him not wanting to fool around with her, he could easily turn the tables.

“Let go of me.” Feeling the warmth from his hand on her foot, Rinna felt weak in the knees and almost fell down.

Her breaths came out in short gasps.

Tang Zheng wasn’t about to take advantage of her.

He immediately let go and pushed himself off the ground while Rinna rushed into her room to grab her space backpack.

She then left the room and headed down to the living room.

“That idiot.” Rinna cursed.

She made a series of combo punches in the direction that Tang Zheng had left, as if it would help alleviate her anger.

The cop was sprawled out on the sofa, remote in hand and sound asleep- hardly the diligent watchman.

But the towering dark-skinned man was sitting in the corner, cleaning his firearms.

He glanced in Tang Zheng’s direction, nodded, then went back to work.

“Why become a bodyguard for a rich guy?” As he put on his protective clothing and a set of sportswear, Tang Zheng walked into the kitchen, poured a glass of water and asked Tie Ying while he moved around the room.

“He saved my life and even helped me solve some troubles, allowing me to set foot in my hometown again.” Tie Ying didn’t play coy.

He wasn’t an ignorant man, he knew they’d need to collaborate in the future, and moreover, Tang Zheng was a formidable man.

That’s why he was being polite.

“If you protect him like this, you won’t last until the end of the game.” Looking at Tie Ying’s plain face, Tang Zheng shrugged, “But you look like the type who’d value a favor over his own life.”

“Aren’t you also looking after us newbies?

When we were teleported into the small town, if you guys had just cared about yourselves, many of us would surely have died.” Tie Ying, seeing that Tang Zheng did not continue trying to convince him otherwise, had a much better impression of him.

He could tell that the other was genuinely concerned rather than just wanting him to become a combat force.

“I’m just doing my bit to help you guys adapt to the difficulty of the game.

I won’t be able to protect all of you till the end.

Bai Guo and the others have already given me enough to worry about.” Tang Zheng was merely giving a hand where he could; after all, having a few more newbie targets would make it much easier for him whenever monsters attacked.

“Don’t bother.

I’ve already checked the surroundings; it’s very safe.” Tie Ying admired Tang Zheng’s cautious approach.

Having such an outstanding teammate would save him a lot of mental effort.

During breakfast, Liu Nai continued to glare at Tang Zheng, who was, unbothered, sitting off to the side, planning out their next actions on a note.

“That’s my table, please leave.” Liu Nai, wielding her chopsticks, jabbed forcefully at a small fish on her plate.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, did not react at all, not even lifting an eyelid.

“Oops, I spilled it.” Liu Nai, showing a vexed expression, deliberately knocked over the milk next to her, spilling it onto Tang Zheng’s note.

Helpless, Tang Zheng rose, picked up his own milk, and began to leave.

Little Fan Fan had her head down, busy wolfing down her own Japanese-style breakfast, wondering how to teach the girl a lesson.

She was so irritating, daring to bully Uncle.

Seeing Tang Zheng succumb, Liu Nai revealed a triumphant expression, only to shout out angrily again, “That’s my milk, put it down.”

“Is it?” Tang Zheng passed it over.

Just as Liu Nai reached out, she saw the troublemaker rapidly lift the cup to his lips and gulp down its contents in one go.

“You!” Liu Nai was infuriated, and snapped her chopsticks in half with a crack.

“Your milk is good, very sweet.” Tang Zheng flashed a satisfied smile, praised and turn to walk toward the sofa.

“Pff-hehe”, Little Fan Fan and Bai Guo burst out laughing.

Everyone else tried to hold back their laughter, only Zhang Yifeng and Police Man were sulking, wanting to join the conversation but Liu Nai ignoring them.

“I’m not eating.” Liu Nai stood up suddenly, knocking the chair over, “I’m going to school today.”

“It would be safer if you stayed home.

What if you run into an alien?” Zhang Yifeng finally got a word in, his face showing some excitement.

“Alien, alien, where the hell are they?

I haven’t seen one, and how long are you all planning to stay here?” Liu Nai only allowed them to stay for fun and because of Yin Shangwu’s persuasion, but now she couldn’t wait for them to get lost.

“One month, by then even if you want us to stay we won’t.” Zhang Lanyu wished the time could fly to the end of the month.

“Sister Shangwu, what do you say?” Liu Nai didn’t care about others.

“Don’t force me to call the police.”

“No problem, Tang Zheng, Zhang Yifeng, Tie Ying and Bai Guo will be responsible for your safety.

The rest stay.” Yin Shangwu didn’t think that staying at the villa was safe either, having Tang Zheng there made her feel at ease, “You can pretend to be bodyguards and carry weapons.”

“Why can’t I go?” The cop was unhappy.

“Do you want to be a meat shield?” Yin Shangwu silenced him with a retort, making him sit down in dissatisfaction.

“Fan Fan also wants to go sightseeing around Waseda.” Little Lolita ran towards Tang Zheng, trying to charm him.

“Be good, I’ll take you to the hot spring in a few days.” Tang Zheng accepted this for now, because he had to ask for leave for Liu Nai and would be changing places to stay frequently over the next month, at the same time attempting to probe for the alien’s attack pattern.

“Alright then.” Little Lolita gave in, but Yin Shangwu was surprised.

Why had Tang Zheng not argue back?

Was he planning something again?

“Tang Zheng..” Ai Li didn’t want to be separated from Tang Zheng either, she wanted to speak but stopped herself.

Her melancholic expression gave cause for compassion.

“You need to learn to protect yourself.

I’ll be back soon.” Tang Zheng did not deny that this wasn’t his mission as that would hurt more feelings.

He just gave her a handgun and two hand grenades, “Ask Little Fan Fan to be your translator and Lin, I’m counting on you.”

“Leave it to me.” Lin Weiguo gave a thumbs-up, “Stay safe.” (To be continued… If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation, monthly tickets.
