Kiss of Youth

Summer Blooming Rules, my story next door, is now available! Welcome! Sending you a heart! Wishing you a wonderful life!

Yun Zheng took a long vacation and checked into a bed-and-breakfast.

When she left, she forgot to pay the bill.

The owner looked at the several million yuan worth of photography equipment in the room.

Then she beckoned to the junk collector across the street.

Later, Yun Zheng asked how much she had sold it for.

Yan Ning replied, perfectly matter-of-fact: "Eighty."

Yun Zheng clicked her tongue. "That old man got ripped off."

The agent gritted her teeth as she held the bill. "How does it feel to use company money to spoil your wife?"

Yun Zheng answered beside the point. "I can eat again."

The agent was stunned for a long moment. "We've got plenty of equipment in the studio. Ask her if there's anything else she wants to sell."

Yun Zheng: "Okay."

The agent exploded. "I was joking! What the hell, you actually took me seriously!?"

Weather Report

[Gentle, old-fashioned associate professor who gets gloomy whenever it rains x beautiful, wandering ghost who makes it rain whenever she appears]

Cheng Shuli, an associate professor of meteorology, had always been old-fashioned and rigid in his habits. Even his sleeping posture was perfectly neat.

Tang Youyou floated dreamily up to his bedside and clicked her tongue in disdain. "Tsk, even we dead people don't sleep like that."

Cheng Shuli shot back, "I've never seen a ghost who eats as much as you."

Tang Youyou: "I've never seen anyone as lifeless as you!"

Cheng Shuli: "When I find your grave, I'll dig it up and see if all that's left is your mouth."

Tang Youyou was furious. "You sharp-tongued old fossil!"

Cheng Shuli sneered. "You've been floating around for over a hundred years. Which of us is older, exactly?!"

Tang Youyou: "…"

In a fit of anger, Tang Youyou stopped appearing. The weather station went several days without a cloud in the sky, and Cheng Shuli's mood got even worse.

A friend who knew about his rainy-day syndrome asked, "Why are you so down when the weather's so nice?"

Cheng Shuli: "There's a ghost in my heart."

[Bonus Scene]

One day, Cheng Shuli, who never skipped work, left early. His colleagues couldn't find him during a meeting and wondered why he hadn't simply asked for time off.

Cheng Shuli, who guarded his integrity, didn't want to lie, but couldn't think of a reasonable excuse.

He sighed. "Would my supervisor believe me if I said the person I like is celebrating her hundredth birthday?"
