Chapter 7 Profound and Extensive (Additional update 34 for Golden Meng @ Top Ink Fan)

Aurora Intention Studio had its trial opening.

Calling it a trial opening was just Cheng Nuo giving himself a day to tidy up and organize.

After one day, this place would officially open to the public.

Cheng Nuo posted a notification on his public account where you could make a reservation, but he didn't provide a location.

Besides that, there was no other promotion or advertising.

The décor wasn't at all café-like.

Within the spacious area,

six tables were arranged without any semblance of order.

Scattered about,

the distance between them so vast, as if each table needed its own home.

In a nutshell, they used the space in the most wasteful way possible.

For an establishment like a café aiming to turn a profit, such a layout could be considered quite quirky, to put it mildly.

Nie Guangyi's first comment after a cursory glance from the entrance was, "Are you planning to raise geese here or release pigeons?"

"Brother Guangyi, we could try both," Xuan Shi replied, evidently playing along with Nie Guangyi's comment.

...

This morning, Little Shizi managed to tick off Brother Guangyi bright and early.

To be precise, it was four in the morning.

The two of them had concluded their surveillance at midnight, planning to sleep in until they naturally woke up to handle the paperwork, go out for lunch around noon, and then leave in the afternoon, arriving at the "counterfeit" Aurora's Intention in the evening.

Everything was initially planned out perfectly, but after midnight, Xuan Shi found he couldn't wait even a second longer.

At all hours of the night, they handled the paperwork, finally finishing at four in the morning, with everything ready to go.

Without a second thought, he woke the soundly sleeping Nie Guangyi with a phone call.

Nie Guangyi was in the habit of turning off his phone to sleep.

Yet even that couldn't protect him from his brother.

When the call to his cell phone didn't go through, Xuan Shi dialed straight to his room.

He called repeatedly, non-stop.

Nie Guangyi didn't pick up, and he didn't give up.

Completely different from the usual him.

All the handsomeness and divine charm, the dashing elegance, had become things of the past.

Nie Guangyi was usually grouchy upon waking, to say nothing of being woken up in such a manner.

Answering the phone, he unleashed a tirade, "Are you sick? If you want to be re-created in the forge, can't you do it without dragging me along?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xuan Shi was exceedingly conciliatory, "Brother Guangyi, can't you scold me after we meet in person?"

"I'll see your big head in person."

Because he had just been woken up, Nie Guangyi's voice was a bit hoarse.

Xuan Shi didn't respond but continued with his own pace of questions, "Brother Guangyi, what would you like for breakfast?"

"I'll have your big head for breakfast," Nie Guangyi cleared his throat.

"Brother Guangyi, how can you not come and dislocate an arm for fun since Little Shizi is so deserving of a beating? Xiaoxuan promises, promises not to fight back this time."

"I owe..."

Nie Guangyi had initially intended to keep up with the "big head" series of retorts.

The moment he came to his senses a bit, he realized that continuing to argue back,

with something lik "I owe you a big head beating,"

was either asking for trouble or admitting his Combat Power was insufficient.

Finally, Nie Guangyi's temper was deflated by Xuan Shi repeatedly calling him Brother Guangyi.

He laid out a bunch of conditions in response.

Getting up to pack his luggage.

Soon after, the two met up at the door.

The moment Xuan Shi saw Nie Guangyi, he greeted him with breakfast in hand.

Only with enough proactivity could he hope for leniency.

Nie Guangyi ignored him and remotely unlocked his car that was already parked at the entrance using his mobile phone.

Xuan Shi offered to help Nie Guangyi with his luggage but was swiftly avoided.

"Brother Guangyi, rest assured, you can sleep in the car, I can drive us there all by myself," Xuan Shi followed, continuing to maintain the best attitude.

"I'll rest your big head assured," Nie Guangyi said, throwing his luggage into the trunk and heading straight for the driver's seat, snorting derisively, "You haven't slept all night and think you can drive safely? Do you think your Brother Guangyi's life is as worthless as yours?"

Nie Guangyi was typically indirect with his feelings.

Though he was expressing concern, his mouth was filled with complaints.

"Of course, it's different. If something were to happen to our Brother Guangyi, it would undoubtedly be a loss for the architectural world," Xuan Shi responded.

Nie Guangyi felt rather pleased with this comment but before he could show his appreciation, he heard Xuan Shi add needlessly, "If it were me, nobody would remember except Anuo."

Nie Guangyi fell silent.

He couldn't tolerate Xuan Shi's frequent acts of spreading dog food around.

Moreover, what did he mean by "nobody except Anuo would remember"? What did that make him?

A limb that could be disposed of at any time?

With such a brother, better off without.

Xuan Shi did not insist on driving anymore.

He truly wasn't sleepy at that moment.

But overly excited people aren't fit to drive either.
