Once things have been settled, a text message is received.
Wu opened it and saw $200k transferred into his bank account.
He knew what's the money for, but he was being pretentious and called Chi.
'Hey, why did you transfer me $200k again?'
Chi said, 'I'm giving back to you.'
'Give back to me?' Wu acted as if he was really shocked, 'I borrowed $200k from you, not you!'
He replied, 'I sold the last batch of your dead hatchlings, I sold them for $400k.'
'What?' Wu shouted, 'I could sell them all at the end of the year, I could sell them at thrice the price yet you sold them out at a cheap rate? Who did you sell them to? You couldn't possibly did that just to return back my money?...'
Chi hung up once again.
When he heard the constant beeping, Wu, who was anxious to death the second before, suddenly became alive. He threw his phone aside and snapped his fingers victoriously to Shuai.
'It's done! We got the $200k!'
Shuai was chewing gum, he said happily to Wu, 'You worked throughout day and night in the past yet you couldn't even earn $50k a day, now you just need to act a few scenes and get $200k. This shows that we can't just rely on your talents and hard work, we have to take some leeway sometimes too.'
Wu didn't say anything, he just smiled.
Shuai asked again, 'How do you want to spend this $200k?'
'Buy snakes.' Wu said.
'Again?' Wu was puzzled, 'How much people are you trying to cheat with this method?'
Wu rattled his finger, 'I'm doing real business this time.'
......
The next day, Wu visited Wang's place again.
$200k was gone in a day, Mr. Wang was still fuming in his office. Once he saw Wu came, his attitude and mood changed almost immediately. In the past, he used to walk out grinning slyly, he was suppressing his real self within. Now he forced himself to smile, he has to smile, he wouldn't dare to not smile, he could sense Chi's anger circling above Wu's head.
As compared to Mr. Wang's anxiousness, Wu was relatively relaxed, as if everything that happened yesterday wasn't related to him.
'I didn't keep the snakes you sold me last time for long, it was sold by my friend, I was furious. I want to buy some more snakes, I don't trust others so I came back to you again.'
Mr. Wang got it, he had messed with someone that he wasn't supposed to!
'Let me see your snakes!' Wu said.
Along the road, Mr. Wang's heart was bleeding. He would much rather swallow all those gall bladders than cheat Wu again. He locked up all the problematic snakes in a separate room, he didn't even want to take another look at them anymore, let alone walk over there. He was bringing Wu to the breeding room, his most well-kept secret lies in here.
This time, Wu did check throughout, he didn't choose snakes that had slight flaws.
Mrs. Wang rushed into the room and dragged her husband out.
'Are you crazy? Don't we need to earn a living?' Her eyes were red, 'We're supposed to sell the snakes next month, you just sold them away, all our efforts for the past year has wasted!'
He groaned, ''If I don't, we're really done then, we would lose this centre!'
'I don't care, I'll kill myself if you really sell them.' she cried.
\n'Kill yourself?' he gritted, 'I almost lost a life here, who are you playing with?'
'......'
Wu branched out his head, 'What happened? Is there any problem?'
Mr. Wang's once twisted face returned normal, just that his throat became sore.
'Nope, have you done picking them?'
'Yeah.' Wu walked out smilingly, 'Well follow the usual price as before, $100 per snake, a total of $200k for 2000 snakes, are you fine with it?'
His wife almost fainted after hearing what he had said.
The rare breed snakes that worth total of $600k became $400k, plus the $200k they lost. Wu had emptied out every single cent that Mr. Wang earned illegally for the past two years in this transaction.
.....
'I bought back the snakes.' Wu said to Chi threateningly.
At night, Chi went to Wu's breeding apartment again, he picked up a snake and examined it. He knew what had happened. He hit Wu's head with the back of his hand, 'You're so silly and innocent.'
Wu acted dumb, 'How am I silly? You sold my snakes, how can I earn money if I don't buy more?'
Chi didn't reply, he just stared at Wu, his gaze was erratic and with a hint of exploration.
Wu couldn't stand it for over 5 minutes, he finally gave up and grinned.
'Fine, thanks, is that okay?'
By studying Chi's face, apparently, he wasn't quite pleased with it.
'I'll gift you?'
After saying that, we brought Chi into the house and pointed at the collection of sugar sculptures on a wooden box, 'I made them, choose one.'
Chi was taken aback, 'You knew how to make these?'
It was a traditional skill from the past, it was rarely seen nowadays. It looks easy to make but it takes a lot of time to master the skill, Wu learned them from the uncle selling sugar sculptures in the past. He practiced very hard for a long period of time before finally mastering it.
'I only know how to make simple animals,' Wu said.
Chi scanned across the different sculpture, they all looked almost the same. They have a huge belly, short legs, two long ears, there's no way of differentiating them apart.
'Blow a new one for me,' Chi said.
Wu was in a good mood so he agreed, he made some taffy in the kitchen and poured them into a bowl. He dusted some talc powder on his hands and rolled a ball of taffy in his hands professionally.
'What do you want?' Wu asked.
Chi simply replied, 'Blow me a snake.'
'What kind?'
'Cobra.'
Wu shouted happily, 'Okay!'
From the past, Chi was used to watching people dancing, masturbating or being punished; he was used to hearing moaning on the bed. He rarely gets attracted by people who are well dressed, of course, there was no one who could shout with such charisma that would lighten the atmosphere.
Chi stared at Wu silently, looking at his eyes staring at his own hands, cheeks puffing up from blowing the sculptures. His Adam's Apple was fluctuating up and down, clearly showing how careful he was. Chi had the urge to reach out and squeeze his nose shut, block his breathing, seeing his cheeks turning red.
Mr. Mighty, as always, will do anything he wanted.
Wu was on the most important step when his nose suddenly got blocked. He glared furiously at Chi, Chi immediately let go of his nose, he accidentally squished the sugar sculpture.
'Blow one again,' Chi said.
If it wasn't Wu trying to hook up with Chi, he would have smeared the taffy on his face already.
This time turned his back to Chi, he stuck the sculpture on a bamboo stick after he's done, he turned back over again and passed it to Chi.
'A cobra.' Wu was very happy with his creation.
Chi took a brief look and commented in a reverse manner.
'Are you sure you're not making a dick?'
There wasn't enough taffy, its body is a bit short, the curvature of its body isn't very obvious, the tip of the head was even sharp...
Wu revoked, 'Does your penis have a pair of eyes?!'
Chi suddenly shuffled forward towards Wu, he poked him with his crotch and said, 'Don't you have an "eye" on your penis? How you ejaculate for all these years? From your mouth? Let me take a look, how can you come with your mouth?'
His thumb grazed filthy over Wu's thin lips.
Wu pushed away Chi's hand, both his lips and his heart were as if they were on fire. Not sure why, he was okay with talking stuff like this with Shuai, but it was different when the same words came out from Chi's mouth.
'I'm going back.' Chi was about to turn and leave.
Wu called out to him.
'Do you have time tomorrow? Let's meet up.'
Chi was being honest with Wu, 'I do business on the bed, I don't go for dates.'
Wu walked towards him and snatched the sugar sculpture from his hand, he stuffed it into his mouth. He even ate it slowly on purpose, like a teasing Chi.
Chi didn't really see it as a tease, all he saw was the thing going in and out of Wu's mouth.
Wu told him honestly too, 'If you want me to make one more, agree to meet me tomorrow.'
Out of all things, Chi gave in to this simple threat.
'Blow me one!'
Wu smiled in victory, he really did blow one more for Chi.
Wu made the body longer this time, looks more realistic this time.
Chi laughed again.
'Are you sure you're not making mine instead of yours?'
