11 Still Lack The Wisdom After Eating For So Many Years

Before going to bed, Qin Guanglin casually posted that he was looking for a job in the chatroom. He then closed his eyes and thought about what kind of job he should look for.

His buddy Xiao Yu was an animator. Although it was a good job, Qin Guanglin felt that line of work did not suit him. His primary focus was on creating, and his style of art is a little unique. It made it difficult for him to integrate his artwork with others.

Illustrators are not bad, especially hand-painting illustrators, which have been very popular recently. It needs to be paid attention to, and he would have to take the time to gain some relevant professional knowledge.

The gaming industry was also very popular now, and demands for original paintings were getting higher and higher…

Qin Guanglin slowly fell asleep while thinking. He felt very comfortable and there seemed to be a faint trail of the fragrance from He Fang's shampoo.

At midnight, quiet…

"Do I look good?" He Fang tugged at her skirt and twirled around. She looked up as she asked him.

"You look great." Qin Guanglin nodded. It was the truth. The light pink skirt complemented her pink cheeks that she somehow looked like a princess.

"Where are your eyes looking at?!" She let go of her skirt and looked at Qin Guanglin, alarmed.

Qin Guanglin was bewildered. Didn't she ask him to look at her skirt?

He Fang walked closer and stared at Qin Guanglin, making him nervous.

"What are you so nervous about? I won't eat you up," He Fang said.

"I'm not nervous." Qin Guanglin swallowed his saliva. He stood there frozen and not knowing what to do.

"Then why are you blushing?" He Fang suddenly laughed. She went beside his ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you wish to have intercourse with me?"

"What?!" Qin Guanglin jumped backward in shock. He thought he heard wrong.

He Fang's smile grew brighter and brighter, revealing her canine teeth. A pair of fox-like ears appeared on the top of her head.

Qin Guanglin watched in horror as her nails grew over ten centimeters long and several furry tails appeared like a flower behind her. He turned around and yelped, wanting to run away.

"Do I look good?"

He Fang's voice called out behind him again. Qin Guanglin glanced behind in panic and saw a huge fox leaping towards him…

Qin Guanglin opened his eyes forcefully and gasped. Dazed for a few seconds, he realized that he was dreaming. He turned to look out the window and saw that the sky already turned brighter by the second.

He recalled the scene in his dream. That big scarlet mouth, which he could even smell the breath, felt too real.

After lying down for a while, he could not continue sleeping. Qin Guanglin got up and sat at his desk. He turned on the computer and went online to search for jobs. He casually looked through his inbox to see if there were any customer orders.

There was a rustling sound from the living room outside, which meant that Mother Qin had already gotten up. The older generations are used to waking up and going for a stroll outside before the sun came out. It was as if to show off that they were earlier than the sun, yet nobody knew why they enjoyed competing with the sun.

"Ding dong."

The phone rang. Qin Guanglin picked up and saw that it was from He Fang. She was up so early, too?

Gone Astray, Awaiting Return: [ Good morning. ]

Dense Forest: [ You are early today. ]

Gone Astray, Awaiting Return: [ I couldn't go back to sleep after waking up. Are you free today? ]

He looked at his computer and thought about it. Since it was more important to settle his job, he would have to reject it if she asked to hang out.

Dense Forest: [ My availability depends on what you want to do. ]

Gone Astray, Awaiting Return: [ I want to go to the amusement park with you. ]

Dense Forest: [ What time? I'll go to meet you. ]

Gone Astray, Awaiting Return: [ Probably in the afternoon. I have an exam in the morning. ]

Dense Forest: [ Alright, good luck. ]

Qin Guanglin put down his phone and was in a daze. Wasn't he supposed to reject her?

How did he have no resistance at all the moment he saw the phrase with you? He agreed without hesitation! How useless of him!

Chastising himself, he got up to choose clothes from his closet. It was going to be their first date since they became official, so he had to dress up.

Knock, knock, knock.

Mother Qin's voice came in. "Are you up yet?"

"I got up a long time ago."

"I feel extra positive waking up today." Mother Qin opened the door. "Come out and eat some eggs."

"Eggs in the morning?" Qin Guanglin took out a plaid shirt and put it against himself. "Do you think this one looks better on me?"

Mother Qin looked at him in disgust. "So old-fashioned. Wear a light blue one. It is more trendy."

"Tsk, what do you know?" Qin Guanglin retorted. He insisted on his aesthetics and closed the closet door.

"…"

Mother Qin shrugged and turned back to the living room. She could not be bothered with him. "I cooked three eggs for you. Come and eat them quickly."

Qin Guanglin lingered in the room for a while before he came out. He was a little surprised to see the eggs on the table.

"See? You must have forgotten again. Today is your birthday." Mother Qin looked at him with annoyance, but she then turned back to water her swiss cheese plant.

Young people do not treasure the days they are alive. He probably didn't even know what day of the week it was already. If he didn't have an elderly person who understood what it meant to live, he would have lazed around the entire day.

"Hurry and grow your relationship with that girl. Let her take you away, so I don't have to see your silly face every day. I will get angry just by looking at you and knowing that you either laze around in the room or make a mess everywhere. Wouldn't you say that that girl has poor taste? How pitiful for her to fall for you. You should count your blessings…"

Mother Qin muttered, but Qin Guanglin had long been accustomed to her grumblings. He picked up an egg and counted the pinholes in it. There were indeed seven.

It was common practice to eat eggs on one's birthday. The eggs also have to have seven holes pierced in them. It was rumored that one would grow wise after eating the eggs… Nobody knew how this tradition came about, but Qin Guanglin had been eating eggs like this for as long as he could remember. He thought it was useless.

"Oh, right." Mother Qin suddenly turned around. "Why don't you call He Fang out on the excuse that it's your birthday? We can have dinner together. I will buy more food."

"No need." Qin Guanglin already ate an egg and peeled the remaining two. "She's going out with me in the afternoon, so we'll eat outside."

"Oh." Mother Qin turned back, wiping the leaves of her plant. "Then you can bring some good food. Don't take her to eat some mutton soup or hot and sour noodles by the side of the road."

"I know. I know all this. You don't have to worry." Qin Guanglin was a little annoyed. Mother Qin seemed to be more anxious than him with his girlfriend.

"You know crap." Mother Qin knew her kid well. She continued imparting her decades' worth of experience. "Girls like to be coaxed. Get her gifts once in a while. It doesn't matter whether it is expensive or not. It's the thought that counts. When you're out with her, don't be silent like a log. You have to… Hey, are you listening to me? You're always holed up in your room after eating. You're going to grow mold on you."

Qin Guanglin closed his room door to shut Mother Qin's voice out.

Wasn't this what courting was like? Who wouldn't do the same?
