Qian Wei vomited everything out, and suddenly felt the discomfort in her stomach disappear. She felt refreshed. But when she looked up, she saw Lu Xun's face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Only then did she realize that because of the bumpy ride earlier, she had vomited all over Lu Xun...
"Oh f**k!"
"Qian Wei!" Lu Xun's voice was gnashing his teeth, filled with extreme anger. "You vomited all over me and you're cursing too?"
"I'm being wronged!" Qian Wei hurriedly took out tissues. "I didn't mean to curse. I was trying to say oh f**k, let me wipe it for you! Can't I say oh f**k?"
However, Lu Xun dodged Qian Wei's attempt to wipe him clean. "Don't wipe anymore." He looked at Qian Wei and smiled coldly. "I won't give you a chance to use wiping as an excuse to touch me inappropriately."
Qian Wei: ???
Just then, the bus finally arrived at its destination. As the doors opened, everyone rushed off the bus and headed to the attractions they were interested in to start queuing up.
"Zi Xin, let's go. I'll take you to watch the 4D movie."
However, Mo Zi Xin didn't move. She bit her lip, looked at the large stain on Lu Xun's clothes and said, "But Lu Xun must feel very uncomfortable like this..."
Qian Wei immediately said, "Why don't you guys wait first? I'll take Lu Xun to the washroom to clean up the dirty parts. We did say we would watch the 4D movie together right?"
But before Qian Wei could continue ignoring Qian Chuan's scowling face, she was interrupted by Lu Xun's voice.
"You want to take me to the washroom to clean up?" He sneered. "So are you planning to follow me into the male washroom or ask me to follow you into the female washroom? Either way I can only clean up by myself right?" Lu Xun looked at Qian Chuan after speaking. "The 4D movie has limited screenings. If you don't hurry and queue now, you won't get tickets. You guys go first, don't wait for me."
Qian Chuan almost went over to give Lu Xun a hug. "Lu Xun, you're so considerate. No wonder you're the idol Qian Wei is always talking about. I won't stand on ceremony then. I'll take Zi Xin to queue first!"
"I'll go too!" Qian Wei hurried to follow them. Now that Lu Xun was out, her responsibility was even greater. She must light the way for her future boss Qian Chuan and Mo Zi Xin!
"Qian Wei, stay." Unfortunately, Qian Wei's enthusiasm clearly wasn't appreciated by her future boss. He called for her to stop. "There's a saying you must have heard before - whoever pollutes, whoever fixes it."
"But didn't you say I can't help much anyway? After all, only you can enter the washroom to clean up..."
"You're expecting me to continue wearing this shirt?" Lu Xun laughed coldly. "You vomited so much on me. Do you think washing it a bit in the toilet will make it okay for me to continue wearing this?"
Qian Wei said carefully, "Then... then you have to be bare-chested? That's not impossible I guess, your physique is pretty good, it's just that it might attract too much attention..."
"You're hoping to see me half-naked?"
Qian Wei waved her hands repeatedly. "No no, that's not what I meant."
"Then what are you still dawdling for? Let's go."
"Huh?"
"There are souvenir shops southeast of this theme park. They should sell souvenir T-shirts." Lu Xun raised his eyebrows. "Why aren't you moving yet?"
Qian Wei took another look at the stain on his chest. In the end, she could only dejectedly watch Qian Chuan gleefully lead Mo Zi Xin in the opposite direction towards the 4D theatre, while she had no choice but to follow Lu Xun reluctantly towards the souvenir shop.
********
If Lu Xun was just black-faced earlier while they were on the road, now that they were in the souvenir shop, his whole face had turned ashen.
"Only this design is available?" He seemed to be forcing down his anger, keeping his voice as calm as possible as he asked.
"There's only this design for now. The theme park just opened recently, and our shop was also hastily set up. We don't have a full range of goods yet. The themed T-shirts are still being designed. This is all we have for now."
Lu Xun's face darkened as he looked at the simple, almost shoddy looking souvenir T-shirts hanging on the shelves.
One couldn't blame Lu Xun for his expression. Even Qian Wei felt the T-shirts hurt her eyes. The seemingly low-quality white fabric had black bolded words like "Lord" and "Loyal Minister". Beside the words were garish cartoon depictions of related characters. The designer seemed to have terrible taste - these cartoon characters were painted in loud, jarringly bright colors like bright red and green, looking like walking red-green color blindness identification charts from afar. The designs were truly appalling.
Qian Wei cautiously glanced at Lu Xun, trying to placate him. "Actually, handsome guys look good in anything they wear." She started bootlicking. "Lu Xun, you're so good looking. Even if you wear these T-shirts, you'll still stand out elegantly. You know how it is - ugly people look bad even in branded stuff, about the same as if they wore cheap clothes from roadside stalls. But handsome guys are different. Even in cheap roadside clothes, they look like they're wearing trendy branded clothes."
"So you're saying these look like clothes from roadside stalls?"
"Oh... Haha... But you haven't worn them yet right? They'll look different when you put them on." Qian Wei was anxious to settle this quickly. She still needed to hurry and take Lu Xun to intercept Qian Chuan and Mo Zi Xin! "Come, boss, let's buy an XXL." She quickly stuffed the money into the boss's hands, then gestured to Lu Xun. "Quick, just pick one. You can't keep wearing your dirty shirt right?"
Lu Xun clearly wasn't going to lose face wearing those horribly ugly T-shirts. He stood there staring at the clothes on the shelves, his face turning red one moment and green the next.
Unfortunately, reality was cruel. In the end, Lu Xun still had to lower his head. Black-faced, he took a T-shirt from the shelves and went into the changing room.
When he came out, even though Qian Wei was mentally prepared, she still almost burst out laughing. Some words shouldn't be said too full. Some clothes, no matter how handsome the wearer, still can't cover up their own ugliness...
Lu Xun was wearing a "Lord" T-shirt. The garish red and green of the lord cartoon character made him look like a walking traffic light. The clashing red-green color combo and its vulgar rural vibe made one feel that Lu Xun would start belting out the song "Most Dazzling Folk Style" at any moment.
Of course Lu Xun's face was still handsome, but after putting on this T-shirt, his aura changed from the school's crush whom all the girls admired, into the village chief's son whom all the village girls had a crush on... No matter how good-looking, even the best-looking guy couldn't withstand such an unflattering piece of clothing...
Lu Xun looked at himself in the mirror silently, his face overcast. Almost as soon as he came out wearing this T-shirt, the other customers in the souvenir shop, even the boss and staff, couldn't help but turn to look at him. Most were polite enough to hold in their laughter, though a few tactless ones laughed out loud.
Qian Wei suppressed her facial expressions and continued spouting nonsense. "Lu Xun, with your looks, no matter what you wear, you'll stand out in a crowd. You naturally attract a lot of stares. Everyone keeps looking at you mainly because you're so outstanding. In modern society, successful people are always the center of attention, always being looked at by others..."
Lu Xun looked at Qian Wei. Suddenly he smiled, "What you said makes sense."
Before Qian Wei could feel happy, she heard Lu Xun continue, "Boss, buy one more, that one, for her to wear."
Qian Wei: ???
Lu Xun smiled down at Qian Wei again, "You're so eloquent, you'll definitely become a successful person in the future too. Why not get used to the life of a successful person first, get used to being the center of attention?"
Lu Xun shoved the T-shirt into Qian Wei's hands. "What are you still dawdling for? Go change." He smiled again, seemingly kindly. "You don't have to pay. I'll treat this as a gift for you. Happy? Surprised?"
Surprised your a*s!
Qian Wei was pushed into the changing room, looking at the T-shirt in her hands, on the verge of tears. It was so ugly! So, so ugly!
When she came out and looked in the mirror, she nearly fainted. On her back were the words "Treacherous Official" in huge font...
"Can I change to another one? At least give me a 'Loyal Minister'?" Looking at Lu Xun's "Lord" and her own "Treacherous Official", Qian Wei tried to struggle.
Lu Xun smiled meaningfully. "This one suits you perfectly now."
"......"
And so Qian Wei could only walk around the theme park with Lu Xun, both in their eye-catching T-shirts. As expected, wherever they went, they became the center of attention. Even with Qian Wei's thick skin, after a while she couldn't take it anymore. On the other hand, Lu Xun remained completely calm and leisurely.
