Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 300 Zheng Zha: This loli, I can...
“Yes, yes, yes.” Zhang Jie nodded repeatedly.

"We just wanted to remind you and Lori, but we didn't expect Lori to get so angry and make such a fuss that everyone was attracted to us."

"You guys..." Zheng Zha was conflicted. On one hand, Zhang Jie was eavesdropping on him and Luo Li and wanted to beat him up. On the other hand, Zheng Zha was grateful for Zhang Jie's reminder last night and for helping him out of that predicament.

After a long while, until Luo Li's shouts came from outside, Zheng Zha sighed helplessly and said, "Brother Jie, since your wife really helped, she'll let it go this time."

Zhang Jie breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly assured her, "Definitely! There will absolutely be no next time!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha paused, his hand holding the hot tea cup still. Seeing this, Zhang Jie immediately realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself, saying, "No, no, there won't be a next time!"

Zheng Zha shook his head, having lost his appetite for tea. He put down his teacup and said, "I hope there really won't be a next time. Alright, let's leave it at that. Luo Li is looking for me; I'll head back now."

After saying that, Zheng Zha lifted the curtain and went out. This time, neither Zhang Jie nor Na'er stopped him.

Watching Zheng Zha's departing figure, Zhang Jie breathed a long sigh of relief and plopped down on the floor. Na'er shook her head helplessly beside him: "I told you long ago, Zheng Zha is just too lazy to think too much, he's not really stupid."

Zhang Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered under his breath, "This kid is getting harder and harder to fool..." But a smile of relief spread across his face; the storm had finally passed without incident.

Zheng Zha stepped out of the tent and saw Luo Li standing not far away, calling his name with her back to him, as the morning sun shone on her.

"Lily, I'm here." Zheng Zha responded to Luo Li's call and walked quickly over.

Luo Li turned around in surprise after hearing Zheng Zha's response, but immediately became angry, pounding Zheng Zha's chest with her little fist and complaining, "Where did you go so early in the morning? Do you know how worried I was when I woke up and couldn't find you?"

"I..." Zheng Zha wanted to tell Luo Li about Zhang Jie and Na'er eavesdropping, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt the two healed holes in his chest start to hurt again.

So, anticipating that if Luo Li knew the truth, he would be enraged and have two holes punched in his chest by Luo Li's dragon horn, Zheng Zha changed his tune. "I just woke up early and had nothing to do, so I came to see if Brother Jie and Sister-in-law were awake yet."

If they wake up, I'll thank them for what happened last night.

Luo Li, unsuspecting, peeked behind Zheng Zha and asked, "Have Brother Jie and Sister Na'er woken up yet?"

"He's awake. I've already thanked them." Zheng Zha couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Zhang Jie trembling with fear that he would beat him up. "Let me tell you, when Brother Jie saw me go to thank them, he was so excited that he started shaking."

"Shaking?" Lori sensed something was off and asked, "Shaking because you were happy to thank me?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it!” Zheng Zha suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously: “Yes, Brother Jie was so moved that he had tears in his eyes.”

"Oh." Lori nodded her little head, believing Zheng Zha's words, and then complained again, "Since you were going to thank them, why didn't you wait for me to come with you, you big pervert? I should have gone to thank them too."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha broke out in a cold sweat and said stiffly, "I saw you were sleeping soundly and didn't want to disturb you. How about next time?"

Luo Li frowned and said unhappily, "There's going to be a next time for thanking someone? You big pervert, you're not hiding something from me, are you?" Zheng Zha now understood Zhang Jie's feelings and regretted that he should have told the truth earlier.

Having said that, Zheng Zha had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Luo Li to find Zhang Jie and Na'er again.

When Zhang Jie saw Zheng Zha approaching him with Luo Li, he immediately assumed that Zheng Zha had returned to settle scores with him.

But Zheng Zha's next words surprised him greatly. Zheng Zha pulled Luo Li and bowed slightly, saying with an apologetic tone, "After Luo Li learned that I came to thank you this morning, she insisted on coming in person. I'm really sorry to bother you again."

While apologizing, Zheng Zha kept giving Zhang Jie and Na'er frantic winks as Luo Li bowed to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, Zhang Jie and Na'er immediately knew that Zheng Zha hadn't told Luo Li the truth, although they didn't know what he was thinking. But at this moment, they both understood and played along with Zheng Zha.

With the close cooperation of Zhang Jie, Na'er, and Zheng Zha, Luo Li didn't notice anything amiss, and left happily after apologizing.

Zheng Zha finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving with Luo Li, he gave Zhang Jie a threatening look, warning him not to cause trouble.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Zhang Jie made a zipping motion with his finger over his mouth, signaling Zheng Zha to put it down, assuring him he wouldn't say another word about yesterday's or today's events.

Seeing this, Zheng Zha nodded in satisfaction, then strode after Luo Li.

Seeing Zheng Zha and Luo Li leave, Zhang Jie breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter was finally over. He reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette, and planned to smoke one to relax.

As soon as Zhang Jie lit his cigarette, he heard Cheng Xiao shouting loudly outside.

"Fellow villagers! This afternoon at three o'clock, in the open space on the northeast side of the camp, Cheng Xiao and Qi Teng will team up to compete against Zhang Jie. Everyone must come and support us!"

Zhang Jie's hand trembled, and the cigarette he had just lit fell onto his pants. But instead of shaking it off, he slapped his thigh and, with a look of annoyance in Na'er's puzzled eyes, said, "Oh dear! How could I forget about that? Na'er, wait for me, I'll explain to you when I get back."

After saying that, Zhang Jie suddenly lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent. He immediately saw Cheng Xiao holding a megaphone that seemed to have come from nowhere, standing on a simple wooden frame and shouting happily. A group of interested people had already gathered around him.

The moment Zhang Jie stepped out of the tent, Cheng Xiao, who was standing on high ground, saw him and pointed at him, shouting, "Zhang Jie, if you don't come out soon, I'll think you're going to be a coward again and are about to play your oath video with Gao Hongliang for everyone!"

Zhang Jie retorted without hesitation, "What's your hurry? We agreed on 3 PM, it's only morning now. If you're itching for a beating, I suggest you go find Zheng Zha and have him loosen your skin."

Cheng Xiao chuckled and said, "I'm just afraid that you'll forget the competition and the video recorded when you swore an oath this afternoon."

"If you really forget by then, Gao Hongliang and I will have no choice but to release the video. Where will you put your face then?"

"Pah!" Zhang Jie spat on the spot and said, "If you care about my feelings, you might as well persuade Gao Hongliang to delete the video now."
