Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1118: Life Is Boring

Although Ye Changsheng felt so angry he had a stomachache, he still sat down and started eating.

Might as well eat since it’s already here!

Pan Yang and Zheng Hai, looking pitiful, also sat down to eat.

They said they’d take them along to have fun, yet nobody paid them any attention, seriously.

However, they didn’t dare, or perhaps they had no complaints about it.

After all, these two people were Lu Xiaobu and Ye Changsheng.

Both were names that, when spoken, could make the world tremble a bit.

Enduring some hardship or losses, what’s that?

Not to mention, if they accidentally got caught in a photo and it was sent home, their status could significantly rise instantaneously.

After finishing their meal, the group continued walking out.

Lu Xiaobu still had that ghostly manner, not asking where to go or what to do, just treating it as if he were sightseeing and followed along.

Finally, the group of four arrived at the train station.

”Hey, chubby, go buy the tickets, a soft sleeper, four people in one compartment,” Ye Changsheng said to Pan Yang.

With Pan Yang’s connections, getting four tickets was quite easy.

”Alright. Just a moment.” Pan Yang trotted off happily, not only buying tickets but also a ton of food and drinks, regardless of whether they were liked or not. Even if he didn’t like it, someone else might.

The four boarded the train.

Their peculiar combination still attracted some attention, though people just whispered a bit and left it alone.

Upon entering the soft sleeper compartment, Ye Changsheng closed his eyes to rest, while Lu Xiaobu stared blankly out the window, not speaking.

Both of them took the lower bunks for convenience.

This left Pan Yang and Zheng Hai at the side, unsure whether to sit or stand.

If they sat down, and these two big shots wanted to sleep, they’d be in the way.

But if they didn’t sit down, there’s such a limited space, and Pan Yang, being overweight, occupied more than half of it, making it uncomfortably cramped.

If they took the upper bunks, and these big shots needed something suddenly, they wouldn’t be able to respond in time, making it even more troublesome.

The two discussed and thought, forget it, let’s just not stay in the room. There are seats and small tables in the corridor; they might as well go out there.

”Young Master Lu, Grandmaster Ye, we’ll be outside. Call us if anything comes up,” the two said softly and then left the compartment.

With that, the two went out to the corridor and started chatting casually.

”Brother Zheng, who’d have thought we’d end up together like this?” the chubby one said with a smile.

Zheng Hai, although not the eldest or the main heir in the Zheng Family, was still a direct descendant, holding a much higher status than Pan Yang did in the Pan Family.

Usually, when he saw Zheng Hai, he’d greet him first.

”Ah, what’s there to talk about? No matter how things turn out this time, the two of us are linked now, so let’s exchange more after we return,” Zheng Hai said, shaking his head.

”True enough, I’m guessing among those attending the banquet today, they probably already see us as part of Young Master Lu’s faction.” The chubby one laughed. ”But Young Master Lu is quite a good person; I’m sure he won’t let us suffer.”

”Yeah, Young Master Lu is really not as arrogant as others say.” Zheng Hai nodded as well. ”By the way, I have a business deal, haven’t found a partner yet, interested in joining?”

”That’s great, thanks for the opportunity, Brother Zheng!” The chubby one beamed with joy; this was a favor from Zheng Hai.

”No need for formalities among family,” Zheng Hai waved it off.

While the two were chatting outside, Ye Changsheng in the room opened his eyes and softly said to the zoned-out Lu Xiaobu, ”Can you tell me the reason?”

”Can’t find a purpose. Feeling lost,” Lu Xiaobu said absentmindedly, looking out the window. ”Tell me, Daoist, what’s the point of living this life?”

”I can’t answer that question.” Ye Changsheng chuckled wryly. ”Everyone has their own ambitions; every soul is unique, I suppose!”

”What about you? As a fortune-telling expert who can know things others don’t, is living still interesting to you?” Lu Xiaobu countered.

”Uh... the way you put that.” Ye Changsheng twitched at the corner of his mouth, feeling a stabbing pain in his liver. What do you mean, is life interesting? By your logic, should I be dead?

However, he still voiced his thoughts: ”Well, let me put it this way. Fortune-telling is quite fascinating; I enjoy it and am best at predicting things that have already happened.”

”These things are more real and interesting than some abstract future. You know, many people’s experiences are more thrilling than what’s written in novels!”

Lu Xiaobu nodded. ”So, you like peeping, huh?”

”Pfft!”

Ye Changsheng clutched his chest, feeling the sting!

Oh, the hell with you and your peeping!

I’m properly fortune-telling here, and in your words, it turned into peeping? Dammit!

Well, it kinda does seem like peeping!

No! Wrong! Bullshit! I’m watching openly! With their consent!

Damn! Still not right!

Never mind, whatever, let it be!

”What about you? Do you have any hobbies?” Ye Changsheng tried to uncover Lu Xiaobu’s mental block. ”Like traveling?”

”Where on Earth can’t I go?” Lu Xiaobu responded.

”Uh... Seems so,” Ye Changsheng felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.

The lavish life of the wealthy, truly damn extravagant!

Listen to that, truly damn pretentious!

”It’s not just about travel.” Lu Xiaobu sighed, his face full of gloom.

”Food? Whatever I want to eat, I eat!”

”Drink? Whatever I want to drink, I drink!”

”Sports cars? Many manufacturers want to gift me!”

”Mansions? I rented an island at Qian Island Lake!”

”Games? I own a game company myself!”

”Beauties? I have two top-notch beauties by my side, haven’t even touched them yet!”

”Life is truly so mundane!” Lu Xiaobu said through gritted teeth.

”I...” Ye Changsheng gritted his teeth, staring at Lu Xiaobu intently!

Oh, come on! I really want to hit you, you know that?!

If it weren’t for me recognizing you’re unwell, I’d beat you to a pulp!

You can do whatever you want, yet you lament about life’s blandness!

This is simply showing off! Showing off, you jerk!

”Daoist, tell me what’s still interesting for me to do?!” Lu Xiaobu stared straight at Ye Changsheng asking.

”Don’t ask me! I don’t know!” Ye Changsheng snapped: ”I’m going to sleep!”

What the hell!

I shouldn’t have bothered with your nonsense!

I must be stupid to play the therapist for a damn rich guy!

Now I’m gonna have a breakdown myself!

Seen enough people living in poverty who don’t want to live.

This is the first time seeing a rich dude not wanting to live!

Burned by too much money!

”Ah! Life is mundane! Life is mundane!” Lu Xiaobu said wistfully, his voice full of melancholy and desolation!

Ye Changsheng clenched his fists!

Can I hit him?!

Can I hit him?!

Can someone tell me if I can hit him?!

I’m reaching my limit here!
