Chapter 19 — What Do You Want to Do?!

How satisfying!

Edited by Planetes

To make Ji Meng into Muddle-headed Ji only needed a few words, but to make Muddle-headed Ji back into Ji Meng needed twenty deep breaths, two hundred beats of a rapidly pounding heart, as well as a long series of psychological activities.”

“Ah!” Ji Meng got a shock. Turning his head, he saw Ling Xiaolu who had leapt back half a metre away. Because of the successful sneak attack, Ling Xiaolu was delightedly pointing at him and laughing.

Having fallen for the trick, a vein pulsed in Ji Meng’s forehead. He gritted, “Lu. Bi.”

“Uh oh.” Ling Xiaolu stopped laughing. Realising that he seemed to have infuriated Ji Meng, and that the situation was not in his favour, he prepared himself and slipped away.

“Running away?” Ji Meng chased after him immediately. “Stop there!”

“Hahahaha no way!” While running, Ling Xiaolu turned back to annoy him some more. “Come, try catching me! … Aiyah!”

Ling Xiaolu’s sudden scream shocked Ji Meng into standing still.

His face full of anger, Ling Xiaolu pointed at Ji Meng’s feet. “You’ve stepped on my plant!”

Ji Meng slowly looked down, guiltily lifting his foot up. Sure enough, there was a young shoot lying completely flat under his foot.

“You!” Ling Xiaolu roared, “Return me a seed!”

After a moment of hesitation, Ji Meng chose to run away. Ling Xiaolu chased after him angrily. “Ji Meng! Don’t you dare run! Stop there!”

……

Ling Long, forced to follow Ling Xiaolu, flying here and there, had nothing to live for at this moment.

— Why, as an adult GM with a proper job, did he have to accompany these primary school kids and play this sort of “come chase me, and when you catch me, I’ll let you… be chased by me” game? He really wanted to shout, “Heavens! Please let me do something an adult should do, alright? Ahh!!!”
