Under the guidance of his intuition, after spending a high price to buy this small leather portrait that looked like a stamp, the mysterious intuition no longer appeared.
Zhang Lisheng could not find anything different about the portrait no matter how he turned it over. Just when he was feeling annoyed, he suddenly saw a layer of five-colored rubber that was stuck tightly on his left palm.
That rubber was the jelly gem that had turned into dust not long ago. It was also the Nuwa sky-mending stone. After Zhang Lisheng soaked it with his wizard power for a long time, it slowly transformed from the soil. Upon seeing it, the young man's eyes lit up right away. Pinching the masked clown with two of his fingers, he stuck the portrait on the back of his hand.
"Please don't call yourself the King of Comedy but the truth is that you're the King of Tragedy …" Muttering to himself, Zhang Lisheng activated the wizard power in his body and soaked it into the portrait through the pores on the back of his hand. However, as he flipped his hand, he saw the clown portrait fluttering onto the dining table.
Zhang Lisheng could not detect anything strange even with his wizard power, so he could only sigh helplessly and began to eat his dinner gloomily.
After a mouthful of cold and sandy Coke and a mouthful of delicious hamburger, he stared blankly at the endless flow of people outside the French window. All of a sudden, he heard someone shouting in the burger shop, "Mike! Mike! Can't you see that there are a lot of empty seats in the shop?
It's so crowded outside but our burger shop can't be full. How can an employee with a little bit of professionalism still sit still? Not to mention that your half-hour break has long passed.
Go out and distribute the flyers! You're paid 11 dollars per hour but you're still so lazy! I'm warning you, boy! I'll fire you immediately if you continue to slack off! "
Right after he finished scolding, a young man with a red nose and colorful paint on his face, who was holding a wig and struggling to grab a big stack of colorful flyers, wearing a loose comical shirt, ran out from behind the counter in a hurry. He pretended to draw a few white lines on his face with a paintbrush and explained incoherently, "I'm sorry, Store Manager Henry.
My funny mask has faded a little and I've smoked two more cigarettes in the washroom just now so I didn't see the time clearly. I'm not trying to slack off.
Look, I've added a few more strokes to my face. Don't you think it's even funnier and more hilarious? I'm going out to hand out leaflets right now, right away. "
After dealing with the store manager with an awkward smile, the young man put the headgear that looked like a bunch of colorful weeds on his head with one hand and muttered under his breath, "I'm paid 11 dollars per hour, but I still have to dress like an idiot and 'juggle' on the street in the night wind.
What the f * ck! Do you think that just because a clown is handing out flyers on the street, this lousy restaurant is MDD? I'm the one to be blamed for the poor business. "He rushed out of the burger shop and started to hand out flyers while making eye contact outside.
Upon seeing this interesting scene, many of the customers in the fast food restaurant chuckled softly. Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, stared at the young clown's funny face outside the window and had a look of realization on his face. "Face? Since it's a mask, of course, it should be something that's worn on the face …" Touching his face, he took out the clown's portrait from his pocket and stuck it on his forehead.
After the portrait was stuck on, everything was still the same as usual. Nothing happened at all. The only difference was that the grease on the young man's skinny face seemed to be more than the back of his hand. It stuck the clown's portrait firmly and did not fall off for a long time.
"Did I fail …" When Zhang Lisheng saw that there was nothing unusual, he could not help but murmur in disappointment. However, when he used the bright floor-to-ceiling window of the burger shop as a mirror to look at his face, he was shocked to find that there was nothing on his forehead.
Stunned for a moment, the young man touched his forehead with his hand. The thin layer of leather was still there, but when he took a closer look at his own image in the floor-to-ceiling window, even though it was blurry, he could clearly judge that there was nothing between his brows that were glowing with two lusterless colors of pale yellow and pale.
"As expected, a mask must be worn on one's face, but now that I've put on this Mask of the Comedy King, I seem to look exactly the same as before …" Zhang Lisheng breathed a long sigh of relief and shook his head to look at himself from various angles. He even imagined that his face had become longer and more square, but nothing had changed.
When the young man was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard a bird chirping sound coming from the phone in his pocket.
When he took out his phone and saw that it was a call from his girlfriend, the young man immediately picked it up. "Hey, Tina, are you awake?"
"I'm awake! I've long since woken up, baby! I'm now strolling on the street with Trish, Sheila, and a few other 'sisters'. It was Sheila who dragged me out this time …" When Tina was' accusing 'her best friend of her crime, a drunken female voice resonated from the side. "That's because I know that you'll never come out with us again after Lisheng comes.
Today is your last indulgence, so let's go watch the male stripper show! My treat! I'll find the sexiest guy to give you a solo dance … "
"And then ask Lisheng to break his neck and feed his body to some strange monster? Sheila! What the hell! It's not even 8 o 'clock yet and you're already so drunk! What exactly did you do when Trish and I were sleeping?" Tina interrupted her best friend's words and said in annoyance. "What the hell!? What did you do when Trish and I were sleeping?
Upon hearing the girl's words, Zhang Lisheng curled his lips. "Tina, I'm not as cruel and conservative as you said. If it's just for fun and relaxation, we can go with a lot of friends …" However, as he was speaking, he suddenly choked as he looked out of the window.
"Oh my God! Y-You've already come to Boston, baby …" After a moment of silence from the phone's microphone, Tina's surprised cheers resonated. Then, she walked into the street with a group of beautiful girls. The girl, who inadvertently made eye contact with her boyfriend, strode into the fast food restaurant and kissed Zhang Lisheng.
"Oh sh * t! I can't believe that Tina can actually run so fast in her nine-inch high heels! Looks like she really loves this Minion!" Outside the window, a young blonde girl with pure facial features wearing a casual pink jumper looked at the sisters who were kissing through the floor-to-ceiling window and said in astonishment, "But this boy doesn't look very 'eye-catching'."
"Hah! He's indeed not eye-catching, but dear Beatrice, if you spend more than a month with him, you'll realize that if your Wilkes is a top-grade mint cigarette with a beautiful packaging, then he's the purest heroin.
Quitting smoking makes one flustered, but detoxifying it makes one want to die! " Sheila, who was also staring at Zhang Lisheng and Tina kissing through the window, suddenly whispered with a slight tremble of her lips.
Upon hearing the girl's words, Trish, who was standing next to her, said with a blank expression, "Sheila Z. Beyat, let me remind you on behalf of Tina that the person you're talking about is your best sister's boyfriend."
"Trish, did I say something wrong?" Sheila looked at the red-haired girl beside her and smiled drunkenly.
Trish became silent for a while. When she saw Zhang Lisheng, who had already separated from Tina, waving at her, she whispered, "Let's go, Sheila. We should go in and say hello to Lisheng."
"Yeah, we should go and say hello," Sheila returned to her smiling expression and replied.
Just like this, the two girls walked into the burger shop with a group of Harvard Sisters' Association members who were looking at each other with excitement flashing in their eyes. This group of beautiful girls' patronage naturally attracted the attention of many young boys. Some of them even whistled.
"Oh, looks like the Athens of America is not as solemn, sacred, and full of rich scholarly aura as I thought." Upon hearing the whistles and a few strange cries, Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth in shock and joked.
"Baby, you're not in the Harvard lecture hall but in a burger shop on the street. Besides, your first girlfriend is me, so of course, you wouldn't know that beauties are actually a scarce resource," Tina replied with a smile.
"Oh, Tina, not only does Lisheng have a very beautiful girlfriend, but he also has two equally beautiful female friends who have an extraordinary relationship with him. It's only natural that he doesn't understand the troubles of an ordinary boy."
"Sheila, then I'm really … Using a Chinese saying, 'I don't know how lucky I am'." Zhang Lisheng looked at the two girls who had similar figures, one with burgundy red hair and the other with long brown hair, walked to the table and shrugged. "Trish, long time no see. How have you been recently?"
"I've been studying during class and traveling with Tina and Sheila on weekends and holidays. I've also been spending time with the sisters in the Sisters' Association," Trish said with a smile. "Not bad."
The instant her words left her mouth, Sheila, who was by her side, immediately chimed in drunkenly, "Lisheng, even though you didn't ask me, I'll just take it that you did. I've been living the same life as Trish recently. The only difference is that I've had three to four new boyfriends."
"Oh, congratulations!" The young man did not know how to answer at once. In the end, he could only smile wryly.
Upon seeing her boyfriend's helpless look, Tina glared at her best friend and pointed at the other girls at the table around them to help him out of the situation. "Baby, let me introduce you to a few of my new 'sisters' in college.
This is Beatrice, our respected 'Head of Communication'. I drank all night yesterday to celebrate her birthday. "
Upon hearing his girlfriend's introduction, Zhang Lisheng stood up and politely reached out his hand. "Hello, Miss Beatrice. I'm Zhang Lisheng."
Upon seeing the polite manner of the skinny young Asian man whose height only reached her eyebrows, Beatrice suddenly felt that he looked very funny. Holding back her laughter, she shook hands with him. "Hello, Mr. Lisheng. You're Tina's boyfriend, so you can just call me Beatrice."
"Then you can just call me Lisheng as well," The young man nodded and let go of his hand.
"The one who's being hit on is Bonnie, the most unrestrained girl in the Sisters' Association other than Sheila." When Tina saw that the two of them had already briefly greeted each other, she pointed at a girl who was not tall but had a very good proportion. She had a sweet and pleasant appearance and was whispering to a tall and burly boy who had just come over with a smile.
