Chapter 171: Apocalypse: zombie Era (10)
The flattery on Gu Chengbei’s face continued until several people walked out of that street. When they reached the intersection, his expression finally changed, and he laughed triumphantly.
“Did you see the expression on that guy’s face just now? I think he’s starting to doubt life, hahaha.”
Cheng Yue looked at him curiously. She had never heard of Gu Chengbei, the mechanic, having such methods before.
Ji Jiaqi’s earlier annoyance eased up a bit because of Gu Chengbei’s laughter, “How did you come up with that trick?”
“It’s not difficult at all. I used to love reading face-slapping novels. Even if I don’t know everything, I know a lot about the tropes. It’s just that in the past, I had no opportunity to use them since I was always cooped up at home. Now, I finally found a chance.”
After Gu Chengbei finished bragging, he turned to Ji Jiaqi and said, “Don’t underestimate me just because I don’t interact much with people. I’ve watched a lot of TV shows and novels. When someone stands in front of me and says a few words, I can quickly tell what kind of person they are just by looking at their eyes and listening with one ear. The guy who spoke just now had an air of arrogance and looked down on others as if he wanted to use his nostrils to see. He even had to pretend to be a modest and courteous person. It’s simply a case of being opportunistic. As long as I elevate you, Sister Ji, and show that you have a high status, he definitely won’t dare to cause trouble.”
Ji Jiaqi found Gu Chengbei’s smug tone both amusing and somewhat regretful.
She and Ji Hang had grown up together, but she still didn’t understand. Gu Chengbei, who had only met Ji Hang once, understood his true nature.
Cheng Yue, sensitive to the sense of loss emanating from Ji Jiaqi, wanted to ask but remembered that her sister never brought up those troublesome matters with her. She always said that Cheng Yue was just a child and should live happily.
