Chapter Eleven: Turning Against Each Other

  Wu Tian had a dream in which he was being chased by a white fox spirit.

  He ran all night, and when he saw the light in the morning, the white fox suddenly turned into a woman, knocked him to the ground, and took off his pants. Wu Tian was about to wake up from struggling, but when he looked down and saw that the fox spirit wasn't bad-looking, he stopped struggling, thinking that it was fine to leave it to her, after all, she had been chasing him for a whole night, and it wasn't easy for her either.

  When Wu Tian woke up in the morning, he couldn't remember what the fox spirit looked like, and he felt a little regretful. However, he had a familiar feeling about the fox spirit in his dream, as if it was the face of a certain woman, or maybe the overlapping faces of several women. Wu Tian wanted to sleep some more to see if he could continue the dream and take another look at the fox spirit, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what. The wet feeling in his underwear made him uncomfortable. In the end, he thought it was better to forget about it for now and wait until he was sleepy again to meet that demon again.

  Wu Tian took off his underwear, put on a bathrobe and walked out of the room. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Chen Chen, who was drunk and unconscious last night, sitting on the sofa in the living room playing with her phone. Her legs were closed together, her hands were clasped to her chest, and her eyes stared straight ahead, her face thoughtful, as if recalling something.

  Upon hearing the sound, Chen Chen slowly turned his head to look at Wu Tian, with a complex gaze lingering on his face for a moment before suddenly asking, "What time did you come back last night?"

  "What's the matter, checking up on me?" Wu Tian said irritably. Hearing the other person's interrogative tone, Wu Tian felt annoyed. Last night, he was tormented until very late, not only was he scared half to death, but also busy running back and forth serving her water and putting her to sleep, and in the end, even forgot about the main event of stealing his salary card. Although Wu Tian wasn't a businessman, he had lived for so many years, it was the first time he did something so stupid. What bad luck!

  "What time did I come back last night?" Chen Chen asked again.

  "When did you come back, are you sick?" Wu Tian swaggered towards the bathroom, saying as he walked, "It just so happens that I recently developed a new medicine called Brain Damage Pills, which is very effective for symptoms like yours. Normally, I wouldn't tell anyone about it, but you can try it out. Two boxes make one course of treatment, and they're in blue bottles!" Wu Tian said with a smirk, feeling happy since he rarely had the chance to tease Chen Chen after moving here. He started speaking in the style of modern Peking Opera "The Taking of Tiger Mountain", "Yang Zirong, Western-style fast board!"

  "Although I am alone, I dare to rush into the dragon's lair and tiger's den, with thousands of brothers from all walks of life by my side. No matter how ferocious the mountains are, I will fight against evil demons for the people, my spirit is strong and my strength is mighty!" The triumphant feeling overflows in words.

  "If you don't say it, I won't mind making our relationship public within the company." Chen Chen said calmly.

  Wu Tian slightly froze, pulling back the leg that had already stepped into the bathroom. He frowned at her: This old spinster is really vicious, she can't get love herself and now she's ruining others' love.

  When he saw Wu Tian, Chen Chen stopped and said, "Of course, I'm a businessman, I won't let you lose out. As long as you answer my questions, I'll consider transferring you back to the R&D department."

  "Really?" Wu Tian suddenly became spirited, the drug research and development he was previously responsible for had made some progress, more than two years of research were not in vain, an outsider like Chen Chen simply did not understand the importance of this project, while Wu Tian, as the person in charge, deeply understood that if it succeeded, it might be a revolutionary change.

  Chen Chen nodded and said, "I am the general manager of the company. Your job transfer is just a word to me. Can you answer the previous question now?"

  "I was drinking with friends last night, then went to play mahjong, and returned home at 1 am. After that, I washed up and slept. As for when you came back, I'm not clear." Wu Tian replied quickly, then looked at Chen Chen with a puzzled expression, asking, "Didn't you come home after work yesterday?"

  Chen Chen stared at Wu Tian without blinking, hoping to find out from his face whether what he had just said was true or false, and if there was anything hidden.

  She looked for a long time and didn't find any suspicious place on the other person's face. Chenchen rubbed her temples with her hand, comforting her friend last night, ended up drinking too much, now her head still hurts, really can't remember what happened after going home last night. Only remembered that when she parted ways with her friend was at 11 o'clock. Thinking of this morning only wearing underwear lying on the bed, if it's true as the other person said, then it's fine, but if not, then she may have been seen by the other person.

  "Is everything you said true?" Chen Chen asked.

  "I swear." Wu Tian said solemnly and seriously.

  A man's promise is like a fart, it's all just hot air! So Chen Chen was still a bit uneasy, but couldn't find any evidence, so in the end he could only wave his hand at Wu Tian, hinting for him to do what he needed to do.

  Wu Tian knew he had gotten away with it and let out a sigh of relief as he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

  "By the way, does my body look good?"

  "Uh......uh?"

  Wu Tian was shocked, and cold sweat began to break out on his body. He almost fell for it again. This woman always liked to suddenly fire a cold shot. Yesterday in the company office, she used this trick to get the honey pomelo tea thing out of him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly this time. Originally, it should have been the fourth tone "en", but it was forced into the second tone by him, becoming an interrogative pronunciation.

  "What did you say?" Wu Tian calmed down a bit, turned his head to look at Chen Chen and said, "What's wrong with you, getting up so early? How would I know if your body is good or not, you're not naked. Besides, you can insult my character, but don't insult my taste. I've already told you before, even if you were standing in front of me stark naked, I wouldn't give you a second glance. By the way, I've already answered your question, after work today, hurry up and transfer my job back."

  "No way!" Chen Chen said bluntly.

  "What? Why?" Wu Tian asked with a frown.

  "Because you insulted my dignity." Chen Chen stood up from the sofa, without even looking at Wu Tian, turned around and walked into the kitchen, humming a Peking Opera tune, also "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

  "Today we drink to celebrate our victory, our ambitions have yet to be fulfilled and we will not rest until they are achieved. Tomorrow is a new day for us to show off our skills, shedding hot blood to write the annals of history!!!"

  Wu Tian's face was ugly, gritting his teeth and scolding fiercely, "You deceitful person, speaking but not keeping your promise."

  "This is what they mean by 'all's fair in love and war'!" Chen Chen said, as he cooked breakfast. "That's just how the world is - sometimes true, sometimes false, sometimes fake, sometimes real. If you take it seriously, then you lose."

  Looking at Chen Chen's back, Wu Tianqi's whole body trembled with rage. This woman was so shameless and audacious, with a face thick enough to deceive people. It was the first time Wu Tianqi had seen such a woman, and it was truly eye-opening.

  "Hmm!" A cold hum suddenly came from Wu Tian's nose, and a smile appeared on his originally pale face, with a playful glint in his eyes. "Soldiers don't despise deceit? Well said!" Wu Tian struck a pose, ready to continue.

  "Wei Hu Mountain is indeed a layered defense, with beacon towers and hidden tunnels everywhere. Our leaders have planned wisely to capture it through strategy, for if we launch a strong attack, we will surely suffer heavy casualties!"

  Chen Chen's body stiffened upon hearing this, and he turned his head to glance at Wu Tian with narrowed eyes, "You lied to me?"

  "This is also called 'soldiers don't despise deceit', you shouldn't take it too seriously either!" Wu Tian said with a smile, spreading his hands open.

  Chen Chen's face suddenly turned pale, and the triumphant little face that was still white with a hint of red just now immediately cooled down. She asked Wu Tianzhi in an icy tone, "You saw everything?"

  "Haven't you seen that you're still wearing your underwear?"

  As soon as Wu Tian's voice fell, Chen Chen casually picked up something and threw it at Wu Tian.

  "Whoosh!"

  Wu Tian was well-trained, he aimed at the target, grabbed it with his hand and held it in his palm. He was very proud, but soon he couldn't be proud anymore.

  Yellow and white stuff oozed out from between his fingers, wet and sticky.

  Damn it, raw egg.

  Wu Tian hadn't even had time to wipe his hands when "bang", another raw egg hit his shoulder, followed by a third, fourth... Like a machine gun, Wu Tian couldn't dodge in time, and was covered in egg liquid.

  "Are you crazy?" Wu Tian said while dodging, "The sun is high at noon, the mother hen works hard, and the egg is so big, it's been held back all morning!"

  As soon as Wu Tian spoke, not only did it fail to arouse Chen Chen's sympathy for the hen, but instead made her throw even more violently. As she threw, she cursed "Stinky man, stinky rascal, stinky egg...!"

  "Crack!" An egg hit Wu Tian right on the forehead.

  "Is that all you've got?!" Wu Tian furiously roared, his anger finally bursting forth as he stormed towards Chen Chen, who was still about to throw something. "You were drunk like a dead pig last night, and when you came back, you started stripping off your clothes - I couldn't even stop you! Your old man had to serve you all night, pouring tea and handing you water, afraid that you'd catch a chill, so I even covered you with a blanket. Just now, I didn't dare mention it because I was worried about embarrassing you, let alone expecting any gratitude from you. But you're really something else - using eggs to pelt me? Treating kindness like a fool's errand! You just wait, next time someone serves you, they'll be your bloody grandson!" Having said that, Wu Tian turned around and stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

  Chen Chen stood there in a daze, her icy gaze gone, and the angry look on her face had also dissipated. Instead, she had a rosy complexion and a pair of shy, watery eyes.
