Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

"Yes, Uncle."

Shen Mingchao completely ignored Hei Xiazi's expression, which looked like he had been struck by lightning, and repeated it again.

The undisguised mockery of Wang Can echoed in his mind.

[Hahahaha, Uncle, to be honest, you're making him sound too young; he should be buried!]

Unfortunately, Zhang Haixia added fuel to the fire.

He nodded respectfully to the bear, and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle."

Black Bear: "..."

What should I do if I can't resist the urge to touch my hands?

He clenched his fists and threatened through gritted teeth, "Don't call me that. I can't accept being called 'uncle'!"

Zhang Haixia completely disregarded Hei Xiazi's words, and as if no one else was around, he lowered his head and whispered to Shen Mingchao:

"Chaochao, I feel like your uncle doesn't really like me. Did I do something wrong?"

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft.

Normal people may not be able to hear it clearly.

But the black bear could hear it clearly.

He pressed his tongue against his cheek, his dislike for his now-acknowledged boyfriend growing stronger.

My mind started racing with a crazy brainstorming session.

In their line of work, who dares to say their hands aren't dirty?

Uprightness and integrity are not associated with them.

So, in that instant, he was thinking about how to get rid of this person quietly without Shen Mingchao finding out. Even if he was discovered, he could shift the blame to someone else.

Or, to put it another way, how likely is that?

Is it worth it for him to try?

Zhang Haixia suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at the source of the cold air and saw a pair of black, opaque lenses.

You can't see the other person's eyes, and you can't judge their emotions from their eyes.

But Zhang Haixia keenly sensed Hei Xiazi's murderous intent.

No wonder he lived for a hundred years.

They are no less formidable than the Zhang family. They are far more troublesome than the two people I encountered at the supermarket before.

I heard that he also has a close relationship with the clan chief.

If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by his identity, Zhang Haixia would have really wanted to test his skills against this person.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Seeing the two locked in a stare-down confrontation, Shen Mingchao felt it was time to add fuel to the fire.

She interlocked her fingers with Zhang Haixia's and said with a smile, "No, Uncle is a very nice person. How could he not like you? He came to wish us a happy ending."

"Lovers?!"

Hei Xiazi's voice rose a second time.

He was so angry he almost laughed. At this point, he was desperate and blurted out those words:

"Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Black Bear, and I'm her childhood sweetheart. You—"

Once again, I was interrupted halfway through my sentence.

This time, it wasn't interrupted with words, but with feet.

Shen Mingchao suddenly kicked Hei Xiazi's shin.

What the hell? A child groom?

She knew this guy wasn't up to anything!

Although she knew Zhang Haixia wouldn't take it seriously, she still had to put on a convincing act.

Shen Mingchao smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Xiaxia, my uncle is just that kind of unreliable person. He likes to make jokes all the time, and you can't believe a single word he says."

Slander! This is blatant slander!

Black Bear then blurted out without restraint: "I clearly love my beloved—"

The line "The girl never lies" was effectively kicked back by Shen Mingchao.

"Hiss—" Black Bear's face darkened even more, and he complained in a low voice, "You hit too hard... no, you kicked too hard! I'm your uncle, you should respect your elders!"

Shen Mingchao rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, replying in a low voice, "You're disrespectful to your elders! You expect me to respect the elderly and care for the young?"

"Disrespectful to elders?!"

Hei Xiazi raised his voice for the third time.

Shen Mingchao picked at his ear: "Are you a broken record? Keep repeating what I said?"

Black Bear was panting heavily.

I also experienced what it feels like to have your heart pierced through a sieve.

Okay, okay, so you're being disrespectful to your elders, aren't you?

He decided to play along, clutching his chest with one hand and slumping down, looking like he was possessed by Lin Daiyu.

His voice was filled with sorrow, and he drew out the words: "Mingchao, your casual remark has truly made this blind man's heart bleed... Uncle is old and can't take such a blow..."

Wang Can: [Ugh—]

[This is so disgusting, I feel like throwing up my dinner from last night.]

Zhang Haixia's lips twitched. Seeing Hei Xiazi's funny appearance, he felt a damn familiar feeling.

Shen Mingchao covered his face with his hands, indicating that he couldn't bear to watch.

enough!

She felt itchy all over!

Strike him with lightning and kill him, now!

Skillful.

Just as Shen Mingchao was thinking this, a blinding white light suddenly ripped through the sky, followed by a belated clap of thunder.

It's going to rain.

Shen Mingchao looked at the sky, not wanting to argue with Hei Xiazi. The main reason was that this guy was too talkative, had no taboos, and no sense of shame. If they continued talking, it probably wouldn't pass the review.

So she patted Zhang Haixia's arm and said, "It's going to rain soon, let's go, don't let the movie be too late."

Zhang Haixia nodded and looked away.

Just as the two turned around, a black figure moved even faster, darting in front of them in a flash.

A tall, black mountain range rose abruptly from the ground and stood before them, completely oblivious to the fact that it was blocking their way.

He even laughed and lied through his teeth.

"The Ming Dynasty, Uncle, I haven't watched many movies. How about I take one?"

That's incredibly shameless.

When couples go on a date to watch a movie, why would an uncle interfere and act as a third wheel?

Moreover, she remembered that Hei Xiazi wasn't very interested in movies.

It's not just black bears.

In Yucun, she hadn't seen many people like Zhang Qilan, Zhang Haike, Zhang Rishan, etc., who had experienced a century of trials and tribulations. She usually only saw them in movies and TV series.

She probably thought it was unreal and childish.

"Uncle, this isn't a good idea," Shen Mingchao politely declined. It wasn't that she was afraid Hei Xiazi would disturb their date, but rather that as long as Hei Xiazi was around, they would have to keep acting, which would be exhausting.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Hei Xiazi waved his phone. "I've already bought the tickets."

"what?"

Shen Mingchao blinked. She remembered that she hadn't revealed any information. How could this guy find out so quickly?

Fine, go ahead and follow if you want.

"Boom—"

The deafening thunder roared in our ears.

The movie theater wasn't far from Shen Mingchao's apartment complex. They had originally planned to walk there, but fearing it might rain on the way, Zhang Haixia went back to get an umbrella, which unexpectedly came in handy.

Through the drizzling rain, Shen Mingchao caught a glimpse of Hei Xiazi following him at a distance.

Compared to his earlier banter, Hei Xiazi was now extremely quiet.

Well... as expected, getting old makes everything I do feel a bit sad.

Shen Mingchao sighed inwardly.

After exchanging a glance with Zhang Haixia, she stopped and waited for Hei Xiazi to approach before handing him an umbrella: "Here you go."
