Chapter 8 House Mates
This middle aged person was also practicing his fists nearby and Ye Mo also saw him. However, Ye Mo thought his martial arts were more for show and didn’t pay attention to it too much. Now that he came to greet him, Ye Mo couldn’t just ignore him so he could only smile and answer: “I’m just practicing randomly myself, it’s nothing much.”
Hearing Ye Mo’s words, this middle aged man smiled awkwardly. It was quite obvious that Ye Mo wasn’t interested in getting to know him. However, he really felt that Ye Mo’s fist technique was good and shouldn’t be worse than his. This made him want to get to know him and that was why he came up to say hello.
“My name is Fang Weicheng, I can tell you came from a great master. My hands are itching, how about we have a quick match.” After the middle aged man said these, Ye Mo finally understood that he came to him looking for a fight.
Looking at Fang Weicheng, Ye Mo shook his head and said: “You are no match for me, there is no need for a match.”
Fang Weicheng fazed. Just before, Ye Mo’s words made him feel that Ye Mo was very humble. How come he suddenly became so arrogant? Uncontrollably, he felt his face blush. Although he felt this young man’s martial arts caught his attention, this young man overestimated himself too much by saying that he was no match for him.
Fang Weicheng entered the army when he was 17 and left when he was 32. Although he became a driver after retirement, he had never dropped his martial arts. How could Ye Mo say that he was no match for him? This young man was at most a little over 20. There was no way he would believe that he was no match for a youth in his early twenties.
The reason he wanted to spar with this young man was because he felt Ye Mo’s martial arts weren’t for show and so wasn’t his. Sparring with Ye Mo would bring him good.
“How do you know I am no match for you? To be honest, after I left the army, I had never met a match. Since you’re so confident, then let’s try it.” Fang Weicheng felt he was losing face.
Ye Mo shook his head and said reluctantly: “Okay, since you want to, then take the first move.”
“Just right here? We’re not going to a larger place?” Fang Weicheng looked around.
Ye Mo smiled and said: “ it’s only a matter of a few moves, that won’t be necessary.”
“You……” Fang Weicheng was rendered speechless by Ye Mo’s words. Anger started to rise up in his heart as he spoke with some fury: “in that case, I’m attacking.”
It was a mediocre yet sturdy Black Tiger Tearing The Heart. Fang Weicheng’s thought was that although this move looked simple, when this young man moved, his move would immediately change and let Ye Mo know his power.
Just when Fang Weicheng attacked with his fist, Ye Mo suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Fang Weicheng’s fist before he even had the chance to change moves. Ye Mo raised his hand and Fang Weicheng’s near 100 Kg body was raised up by Ye Mo’s hand. Fang Weicheng’s head immediately buzzed.
This really exceeded his sense. When he was completely conscious, he found that he was thrown on a stone stool beside Ye Mo. It was just like he was originally sitting there. Meanwhile, the young man he sparred with had disappeared.
“Amazing……” after some time, Fang Weicheng finally caught on with what happened and muttered to himself. Even his instructor in the army couldn’t win him so easily.
……
When Ye Mo walked into the little yard, Xu Wei was observing the flowers he cultivated. Although Ye Mo grew a lot of flowers, it was all mainly to cover up that Silver Heart Grass.
Seeing Ye Mo walk in, Xu Wei felt a bit awkward and hurried to stand up trying to find a conversation: “didn’t think that you liked growing flowers. Usually, men who grow flowers are very meticulous. You seem like a meticulous person. Oh, I bought some vegetables today, let’s eat together later. After all, we’re neighbours and we can get to know each other a little.”
Ye Mo had always been eating outside and didn’t expect someone would invite him to dinner today. Of course he wouldn’t reject something like this and smiled: “Okay, thank you. I always see you going early and coming late, how come you didn’t go to work today?”
“One of my colleagues applied for a leave for these few days and coincidentally, I am resting these few days so I am taking night shifts for her.” Xu Wei didn’t think this zhai nan’s observations were so on point.
Xu Wei’s dishes were not bad, at least they were better than what Ye Mo went out to eat every day.”
“Today’s food is really good, thank you.” Ye Mo thought how good it would be if he could freeload some food off her every day. Then, he wouldn’t have to go out every day for food.
“We’re neighbours, no need to thank me. You can also invite me to eat in the future.”
Xu Wei said playfully, she felt that Ye Mo didn’t seem like a bad person.
Ye Mo smiled awkwardly and said: “I never cook myself.”
“Then go to the restaurant.” Xu Wei felt this Ye Mo was cute. Usually, one invited a girl who he wasn’t too familiar with to the restaurant, who would cook themselves. Don’t they usually go restaurants?
Ye Mo said helplessly: “okay, if I have the opportunity, I will invite you.” Meanwhile, he thought to himself, knew there weren’t free foods in the world. As soon as I finished this lunch, I owed her the next meal.
“Ye Mo let’s exchange numbers, mine is 13xxxxxxxx, what’s yours?” Xu Wei took out a exquisite pink phone and asked.
“I don’t have a phone. If you need something, just knock on my door, I can still help you out with the usual stuff. I’m going back.” After he finished, Ye Mo stood up and went back to his room
Xu Wei fazed for a bit and thought even a laborer nowadays would have a phone. Ye Mo didn’t even have a phone, he must be in a really bad situation. By the looks of it, he probably didn’t even pay the rent. She wondered how the owner would let him live inside.
However, this guy really loved his dignity and actually said he was able to help her with the usual stuff. Xu Wei shook her head. This Ye Mo didn’t seem like a bad guy, it was just that he needed to save his face. Should she help him find a job in the hospital? It was better than been jobless.
Xu Wei thought that she was at least kind of pretty. Why didn’t this Ye Mo not even want to sit for a little longer? This was really disappointing. It was as though he really came for the food. However, Xu Wei thought it through very quickly. He was probably self conscious. After all, he was jobless and couldn’t even afford a phone. Of course he was uncomfortable sitting down and talking with me. Thinking about this, Xu Wei finally found some satisfaction in her heart.
Meanwhile, when Ye Mo went back to his room, he was thinking if he really should by a phone. However after thinking that it was completely pointless to buy a phone. He really didn’t have any friends or relatives here. Who would he contact? Therefore, he relinquished the idea.
His 50,000 was all spent on rent and some herbs as well as on the usually expenditure. Now, there was only around 20,000 left. Ye Mo decided to go set up his stall again.
However, this time, he wasn’t going to sell charms again. Charms were too hard to sell. If he didn’t meet that desperate woman last time, he probably wouldn’t even be able to sell one.
This time, his idea was to set up a small night market clinic stall. This was because he was inspired by Xu Wei’s job.
Another reason for that mobile clinic stall was because it was highly mobile and he wouldn’t be targeted by others. On top of that, in the night market, the city guards wouldn’t care and he could cultivate while waiting for customers. Of course, the main reason was because nomadic doctors were forbidden by the government so he could only open business at night.
Ye Mo’s idea was the same as selling charms. He was either going to do nothing at all or earn enough for a long time.
