He’s Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 54: 【54】Curiosity killed the cat, haven’t you heard of it?_1
The two maintained this position for a good ten minutes or so.

Tang Feng checked the time, decided it was enough, and turned off the tap. He picked up her foot to inspect it, then finally let out a sigh of relief, “All good, no serious harm done, no need for the hospital.”

As he was speaking, he lifted his head.

It was then that he noticed Jiang Zi staring straight at him with her beautiful eyes, which seemed to hold different hues within them.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” he asked, instinctively touching his cheek.

“No, it’s just that you… look very handsome.” Jiang Zi withdrew her foot from his hand, her face blushing adorably.

The two went back to the food stall.

Since Jiang Zi didn’t eat much, it wasn’t worth getting another serving. Tang Feng simply scooped some more from his own bowl into hers.

“By the way, Tang Feng, I still don’t know what you do for work. How come you seem to know how to do everything?” Jiang Zi asked, protectively holding her hair out of the way as she nibbled at the fish balls, her face full of curiosity.

She had seen him scavenging through trash before and thought his circumstances must be quite poor.

But then he took her shopping at Qianda Department Store and even considered buying clothes worth thousands. It seemed his financial condition was actually very good.

Zhou Bingrui, who seemed to hold a high position at Qianda Department Store, was extremely courteous to him, and even invited him to gamble on stones.

She heard that those who gamble on stones were not ordinary people.

And just now, Tang Feng seemed to have a profound knowledge of medical matters.

This suddenly made her feel somewhat confused.

What exactly did this guy do for work, that he was so hard to figure out?

Tang Feng set down his chopsticks with a smile, looking at her, “What do you think I do?”

Jiang Zi bit the tip of her chopstick, tilting her head to think, “Collect scrap? Doesn’t seem like it. A jade merchant? That’s not it either. A doctor?”

“Stop guessing. My real identity is… Ultraman, and my mission is to save the Earth, shoo, shoo!”

Tang Feng, seeing her taking her guesses seriously, began to joke again, not omitting to do a few classic Ultraman poses.

Jiang Zi couldn’t help but laugh, clutching her mouth, and she didn’t think about it any further.

But her thoughtless question had poked at Tang Feng’s heart.

He indeed had no formal job at the moment.

Though he had agreed to take the position of Appraiser at Ya Garden, he was approaching it with a mindset of just getting by.

He planned to bluff his way through with the help of the system for a while.

And once he got bored, he would just quit on the spot.

Isn’t that just floundering about?

Now, after Jiang Zi’s reminder, he suddenly felt that continuing on this way wasn’t the solution.

He needed to quickly establish a main occupation for himself.

Even if he fell so low as to go on blind dates, he would at least have something to introduce himself with.

It seemed that when he went to Ya Garden tomorrow, he would have to seriously learn the ropes of the antique trade from Mr. Zhang and strive to take over the position of Appraiser as soon as possible.

Afterward, both of them ate their spicy soup in silence.

In fact, it was mostly Tang Feng eating. Jiang Zi had only taken a few bites before she dabbed at her lips, sat aside, and propped her chin with her hand to watch him eat.

Tang Feng was eating heartily, unconcerned with his image, finishing the food in his bowl and then asking the owner for another serving.

Perhaps because his body had been enhanced by the system, he now had a particularly large appetite, at least twice what he used to have.

“How can you eat so much? Can you even sleep at night after eating like that?” Jiang Zi asked, amazed.

“Maybe it’s because the spicy soup you chose is too delicious?” Tang Feng glanced at her and then abruptly changed the subject, “Don’t worry, I make my own money—you don’t have to be afraid of not being able to support me.”

Jiang Zi was quite happy at the first part of his sentence, but upon hearing his latter remark, she spat in response, “Go away, who wants to support you?”

“If you aren’t going to support me, why do you care how much I eat?” Tang Feng retorted, annoyed.

“Who’s caring? I was just curious,” she said.

“When a woman becomes curious about a man, danger is already near. Haven’t you heard that curiosity killed the cat?”

“You… I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

Jiang Zi sat sulking, her lips pursed, finding that no matter what she said, she would end up at a disadvantage with him.

This guy’s eloquence was just too strong, she wondered if he had been in sales before.

And she guessed right on the mark.

If it hadn’t been for Mr. Tang’s scuffle with the boss of that real estate company, he might have made his fortune selling houses and reached the pinnacle of life by now.

Tang Feng was about to tease her a bit more when suddenly he felt a surge of caution.

This was a subtle change that had occurred after he exchanged for the system’s Martial Arts Mastery.

Whenever someone posed a threat to him, his body would spontaneously emit such a signal.

Clearly, someone was observing him surreptitiously.

Without showing any sign, he turned to Jiang Zi, “Class monitor, do you have a mirror with you?”

Jiang Zi was taken aback by his question, “I do… what for?”

“Don’t ask now, just lend it to me please.” Tang Feng did not immediately answer, because he wasn’t quite certain yet, and making a mistake could lead to a huge blunder.

Jiang Zi didn’t ask further and took out a palm-sized mirror from her bag.

After Tang Feng took it, he pretended to wipe dirt off his face while covertly using the mirror to reflect the area to his right rear.

As expected, he saw someone sitting at a table behind them, stealthily watching in their direction.

The person was dressed in a black T-shirt and wore a face mask pulled up high, only exposing a pair of eyes.

If the observer’s gaze had been peaceful and steady, it might not have aroused his suspicion.

But the gaze was sneaky, always peeking through the cover of objects.

Definitely up to no good.

Upon seeing this person, Tang Feng suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

He pondered with furrowed brows for a moment before the memory came to him.

This person seemed to be one of Qin Yanan’s tenants as well, probably living on the fourth floor.

He had only come across this person occasionally in the hallway and had never spoken to him.

What was his reason for watching them so intently?

“Have you admired yourself enough? A man like you playing with a mirror, what does that look like?”

Jiang Zi teased him as he kept looking in the mirror.

Clearly, through Tang Feng’s continual jests, any lingering awkwardness between the two had dissipated.

They had reached the stage where they could freely joke with each other.
