Chapter 238 - Ant Skit Episode 12: Seamless Plot
Tung Mei: Xing jie, why do I have to do this? It's weird...And I really don't think this will work.
**Tung Mei awkwardly stood in place as Lei Xing put a ???? on her ???? head**
Lei Xing: Shhh, Don't worry, it'll work. He's stupid enough~...Moreover, you look so adorable like this, he won't be able to resist hehehe~
Tung Mei: But - But...Xing jie, you don't have to stoop to his level, do you?... You can just ignore him -
Lei Xing: I'm stopping to his level! I'm showing the boss level. I don't leave petty insulting comments online or talk behind his back so not his level. I do it right to his face. This is just a little prank~
Tung Mei: But Xing jie-
Lei Xing: That's enough fretting! When did you become such a goody goody? Anyway, stay still!
**Tung Mei lowered her ???? head with a pout as Lei Xing put the finishing touches on her appearance**
Lei Xing: Okay, so remember the plan...Get him to take you on a tour and lead him to the back garden right under the safe. That's it, very simple~
Tung Mei: ...Xing jie, don't you think you're taking this too far?... Also, how did you get Author to let you bring a crane here?
Lei Xing: It won't kill him, probably. Regardless, it'll just be a small accident. Wrong place, wrong time. Everything will be fine as long as you do as I instructed~... As for Author, I told her I needed a safe to store my newly found increasing wealth...
Tung Mei: Just that?
Lei Xing: Okay, fine...I agreed to give her 5%...Okay, it was 15%. Tch, she drives a hard bargain... Anyway, it was easy once money got involved. So I got this huge safe that can't fit through the door, so I naturally I need a crane to hoist it onto the roof...It'll simply be an unfortunate incident. Seamless hehehe~
*Tung Mei looked at Lei Xing apprehensively*
Tung Mei: Xing jie...I think you're becoming a bit scary -
**Door opens and Lei Yong comes in* Tung Mei immediately turns her ???? head to the opposite direction, hiding her face as Lei Xing stands in front of her**
Lei Yong: Xing er', have you seen Xiao Ying?
Lei Xing: *blink* No, I haven't. No clue.
**Lei Yong lowers his head with a frown and then he glances at the ???? head behind Lei Xing**
Lei Yong: Who is that?
Lei Xing: None of your business...Anyway, we're busy. Lots to do. Goodbye!
**Lei Xng Grabs ???? Tung Mei and goes out the door in search of the?????**
????: *at the computer in his room, typing away* Tsk, tsk, tsk...This Jun Kai just doesn't listen. Even when the universe has given him an easy out like this. This guy is really beyond help, you'd wonder what that Lei Xing does for him. What wasted loyalty on such a selfish...
Lei Xing: *rolls eyes and whispers* This idiot doesn't even know how to properly close his door...Anyway, Goodluck!
** Tung Mei pouted at her and Lei Xing glared back. Finally, Tung Mei sighed and knocked on the door as Lei Xing snickered and ran off**
????: *panics and immediately closes down page* Who's there?!
Tung Mei: *deep breath and pushes door open and shyly says* I'm sorry, Author told me to come to find you...You're the manager aren't you?
**????'s eyes (′???`) as he sees????? Tung Mei**
????: *blush* Manager? O-o-oh yes, yes that's me, t-the manager. ME!?(≧?≦)
Tung Mei: *smiles and enters* Oh, great. I'm new here, my name is Zing...yours? O-or would you prefer I just call you manager?
????: *blush* {...Those idiots have still been treating me like a servant but now here comes an angel!? Heaven truly has eyes! A very pretty angel in this den of demons. How?!...She called me manager~(☆▽☆)...}
Tung Mei: Mr. Manager? *blink, blink*
????: A-ah, no, no...My name is Borentious, you can just call me that. No need for formalities. We're all family here~
Tung Mei: Borentious? What a great name, very unique. I wish my name was unique too~
????: Hehehehehehe~ It's pretty great - I mean, it's not that great...Zing is a great name too, reminds me of some annoying people, but it's a wonderful name...for a wonderful person~
Tung Mei: *smile* {...Tch, idiot (?_? )...} Author, said you could give me a tour of the place...*nervous smile*? I don't want to end up getting lost, but if you're busy, I could wait in the hallway...O-or maybe find someone else, I think I saw a girl pas-
????: NO! ? _ ?) - I mean, I'm very free I can give you a tour right now. I know this place better than anyone~... {...Can't have those two demons corrupting her! Definitely not allowed! I must protect the innocent! (?`ω′?)...}
**???? opens door for Tung Mei like a gentleman**
????: Whatever you need, you can always come to me at any time...I am, after all, the manager here, only second to Author you know. I can even help you with getting roles - Oh, that reminds me, what role are you here for?
**Tung Mei shyly lowers her head**
Tung Mei: Author didn't say...She just says there's big plans in the works and that I will have an important role...soon.
**???? stops walking, recalls Author mentioning having big plans for him, looks over at????? Tung Mei**
????: Could this be it??(????ω????)
Tung Mei: *clueless* Could this be what?
????: Ohh, nothing, nothing at all~ hehe nothing...
Tung Mei: Is there a garden here?
????: Oh yes, naturally. We have two, one outside in the backyard and another on the roof...I look after them myself~
Tung Mei: Ohh, very nice. You must be very talented...Can we go to the one outside? I'm not good with heights.
????: Of course! Anything
**???? leads the way and keeps turning back to talk to Tung Mei as they walk along, opens the back door**
** Lei Xing perks up and waits with the safe hovering right above the end of the canopy, watching them intently**
**???? is oblivious and Tung Mei keeps him occupied with coy smiles and praises**
Lei Xing: Hehehehe I'm not crazy...It's just - am I? Whatever, we'll think later...Hehehehehe...get into position, almost there~...
Jun Kai: Xing er' what are you doing?
**Lei Xing jumps and releases lever, the safe comes crashing down with a loud bang**
**Lei Xing's heart stops as she can't see anything through the dust cloud**
Lei Xing: Xiao Ying?! *She flies out of her seat and almost falls on her face but luckily the Emperor catches her, she immediately jumps out of his arms and rushes to access the damage**
**Lei Xing sees Tung Mei and????? collapsed on the ground with Lei Yong on top of them**
Lei Yong: *sigh* Thank goodness, I got here just in time.
????: *jumps up* Hey, why are you playing around with something so dangerous?! You almost injured me! And more importantly, Zing! Are you trying to scare her to death?
Lei Xing: *ignores?????* Xiao Ying, are you hurt?
**Lei Yong who was helping ???? Tung Mei up freezes, then blinks at Tung Mei**
Lei Yong: Xiao Ying?
**???? immediately remembers to care for "Zing" and shoves Lei Yong out of the way and holds ???? Tung Mei**
????: Are you okay?... Don't be scared. They're weirdos here but don't worry, I'll protect you. I will ensure it never happens again, I promise. {...Don't leave me! T_T)...}?*Then he hugged her and pat her back reassuringly*
**Lei Yong frowns and pulls ???? off Tung Mei**
Lei Yong: Xiao Ying, why are you dressed like this? I've been looking everywhere for you...
????: What do you mean Xiao Ying? This is Zing...She's a new arrival here. You, don't get any ideas!?(?_? )
Lei Yong: -_-)'...Move. *shoves ???? out of the way*
Tung Mei: Hehehe, Yong ge...I was just helping Xing jie...and Author with, um...a project. A dressup acting project scene.
????: *blink, blink, blink, total disbelief* So - S-so you're actually...actually...
Tung Mei: *half-smile* I am one of those annoying people, Gaffer~ Hmph! *Tung Mei then storms off with her????? head bouncing*
** Lei Yong looked at????? and shook his head and then followed after her**
**???? stood there staring at Tung Mei as she walked back into the building, in complete shock and confusion**
**Lei Xing scrutinized?????. This was not the reaction she was expecting. She walked over to him and then tapped him on the shoulder**
**???? absentmindedly turns to Lei Xing and she narrows her eyes at him**
Lei Xing: Oy, you, don't get any ideas...Our Xiao Ying is naturally off-limits to you?(?_? ).
????: *frowns* Limits?-- W-who is having ideas? Don't speak nonsense! Why would I ever like your mini demon? Nonsense! *He fumed and then rushed back into the building completely fl.u.s.tered*
**Lei Xing burst out laughing, that was a much better reaction**
Jun Kai: Xing er', why do I get the sense that you were aiming for him?
**Lei Xing immediately stops laughing and clears her thraot**
Lei Xing: *innocent blinking* Of course not, I would never endanger someone that way. I was just helping Author move that. Anyway, let's go eat. I'm hungry~ She can take care of it herself or she can get her Gaffer to~ *She snickered as she grabbed the Emperor's arm and sauntered inside.*
{...What a great day~...}
