Chapter 371: 369, are both people happy? Is Luofeng completely oblivious?
If Luofeng didn’t have his cheat, he definitely wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. After all, these sisters were a handful. It was bad enough that they dressed exactly the same, but they even had the same hairstyle? Their accessories were all identical too. Was this meant for ordinary players? Wouldn’t they be played to death by them? Luckily, Luofeng wasn’t an ordinary person. Luofeng had already used his cheat to scan them and discovered that Shangguan Shui’er had opened the co-pilot’s car door.
"Guess who?" Shangguan Shui’er asked.
"Shangguan Feier?" Luofeng ventured.
"Guess again?" Shangguan Shui’er continued.
"Shangguan Shui’er?" Luofeng played along.
"Don’t want to guess again?" Shangguan Shui’er almost perfectly imitated Shangguan Feier’s crisp, mischievous voice.
"Alright, I figured it out long ago. You’re Shangguan Feier!" Luofeng hmmed, deliberately saying so. This was because the personality Shangguan Shui’er was displaying was just like Shangguan Feier’s.
Luofeng continued, bragging, "Your sister’s voice is gentler; yours is a bit crisper. So, next time you impersonate your sister, you’d better not talk!"
On the surface, Luofeng was on the second layer. But in reality? He was already in the stratosphere. Deliberate misidentification? The groundwork was laid! After all, if he made a mistake, whatever he did could be excused by ignorance, right?
Soon, Shangguan Shui’er took the co-pilot seat. Shangguan Feier and her two friends sat in the back row.
Shangguan Shui’er, impersonating her younger sister, introduced, "Student Luofeng, the one in the middle at the back is my older sister, Shangguan Shui’er. You’ve met her before."
"Hmm, hello, Shangguan Shui’er," Luofeng said, turning his head to greet the girl in the back.
"Hello, Luofeng!" Shangguan Feier, who was in the back and impersonating her older sister, also almost perfectly mimicked Shangguan Shui’er’s voice. Her gentle, intelligent tone and her actions were a perfect match.
Luofeng once again sighed in admiration. These ’double the joy’ twins are too good, aren’t they? They can switch identities at any time? Isn’t that... quite thrilling? If I really got together with one of them, who would be the prey? Does that mean while I think I’m tricking them, they’ve already taken turns trapping me in their own routine? They both have their fun, and I’m clueless? So, who is the prey? But somehow, no matter how I look at it, I don’t seem to lose out!
Shangguan Shui’er, still impersonating her younger sister, introduced, "Student Luofeng, the other two are our dormitory mates. One is Chen Yu, and the other is Hu Lan."
"Hello, beauties," Luofeng greeted them.
Chen Yu said politely, "Hello. We’re really sorry; we didn’t want to come and be the third wheel, but the sisters lost a bet and owed us a meal. We didn’t even know about this until just now."
Hu Lan also started to make complaints, "They invited us for a meal, and then they invited you at the same time?"
Shangguan Shui’er in the co-pilot seat, still playing the part of her younger sister, said, "We said we’d treat you to a meal, and that’s what we’re doing. No problem, right?"
In the back row, Shangguan Feier, impersonating her older sister, gently nodded in agreement.
Luofeng chuckled inwardly. These ’double the joy’ sisters are total drama queens. Probably quite a few people have been toyed with by them.
They then set the navigation, and Luofeng focused on driving, not joining in the women’s chat. Three women can make a drama, let alone four?
「About half an hour later.」
Luofeng’s car arrived at the BoBo chicken restaurant. He parked in an automated toll parking spot; if there hadn’t been a lack of other parking, he would never have chosen a paid area. Even though he wasn’t short on money, it still felt like a rip-off. After all, it’s such a scam. Typical parking lots have a twelve-hour system: five bucks an hour, so ten bucks for two hours, and fifteen bucks for three. Anything over three hours but less than twelve is charged at fifteen bucks. But these automated toll spots? Five bucks an hour, yet it’s sixty yuan for twelve hours! Luckily, they were just there for a meal and would be leaving, so they wouldn’t exceed three hours.
Inside the BoBo chicken restaurant, the five of them first chose their dishes, then picked a long table. The twin sisters sat to Luofeng’s right. They looked absolutely identical, without any discernible difference. People in the restaurant were constantly watching them.
"Can you two really unlock each other’s phones?" Luofeng asked curiously after they sat down. The smartphones the two sisters had were last year’s Apple 14 Pro Max.
They immediately began their demonstration. They exchanged phones and unlocked them without any issue.
So? Apple Company? Its proudly flaunted technology was rendered powerless by these ’double the joy’ twins?
Within less than ten minutes, the restaurant staff brought the BoBo chicken they had ordered. All the bamboo skewers had been removed, leaving a mix of various meats and vegetables in one pot.
"Go on, give it a try," Shangguan Feier said, looking at Luofeng with anticipation.
Shangguan Feier and Shangguan Shui’er had switched identities again, returning to their original selves.
As for how Luofeng could tell them apart? He knew just from the way they spoke. Shangguan Shui’er was intelligent and gentle, just as her name suggested—very ’Shui’ (water-like, fluid). Shangguan Feier, on the other hand, was very lively. Of course, the older sister’s personality, if cultivated, would probably be a rare treasure. And Feier? She has her advantages too. Being mischievous, she probably... enjoys riding...
COUGH. COUGH. COUGH.
Luofeng didn’t let his thoughts linger on that.
He picked up a piece of chicken gizzard and started to eat. It was particularly tender and had a seasoned, braised flavor with a numbing spiciness. It seemed to have been braised before being soaked in the BoBo chicken’s spicy marinade. Normally, BoBo chicken gizzards are just boiled and then soaked in spicy seasoning. But if they’re braised, they should taste even better. Take barbecue stalls, for instance. Grilled potatoes, grilled green beans—are they really grilled? They’re just deep-fried and then quickly finished on the grill. It’s so misleading! It ends up having two different flavors.
"This is quite flavorful! Their chicken gizzards must have been braised," Luofeng commented.
"Hmm, you could tell just by tasting?" Shangguan Feier asked, looking at Luofeng in surprise.
Luofeng was speechless. Wasn’t the flavor obvious? Why couldn’t they taste it?
"Many items here are braised first, so the flavors have always been good!" Shangguan Shui’er added.
Luofeng tasted some other items. Just as Shangguan Shui’er had said, they had all been braised before being soaked in the spicy marinade, including slices of lotus root, potato, and Tofu Skin.
About an hour later, Luofeng put down his chopsticks. "Indeed, the food is great. You chose a good place!"
"Glad you like it!" Shangguan Feier said. "By the way, are you finished eating?"
"Yes. After this meal, I reckon I’ll need to run five laps around the track!" Luofeng replied with a laugh.
"You ate the most! The four of us combined didn’t eat as much as you did!" Shangguan Feier hmmed, then called out, "Uncle Wang, the bill, please!"
「Shortly after.」
A man in his fifties with flecks of white in his hair approached. "Shangguan, your total is 519 yuan, but 500 will do!"
The cost per person for BoBo chicken reached over 100 yuan. That’s quite something. But if it’s genuine quality, why shouldn’t the price be a bit higher? As far as pricing goes, I generally don’t make complaints as long as the value for money is good. The issue here was that I ate a lot, ordered many meat dishes, and even had three drinks. If it were just the four girls, it would likely have cost no more than 200 yuan.
Actually, if the girls knew what Luofeng was thinking, they’d probably die laughing. It wasn’t that they had small appetites; they just became reserved in front of a handsome guy. Especially the ’double the joy’ duo—they hardly ate anything at all. They were putting on a disguise in front of Luofeng. After all, why would they gorge themselves in his presence?
Luofeng didn’t rush to pay the bill. He deduced that the ’double the joy’ twins likely came from a middle-class family—the kind that never worries about food and drink. After all, the first time he met them, they both went to a place like the Four Seas buffet. An average university student with tight finances wouldn’t usually go there. Families like that indeed experience the most happiness. I strongly agree with something someone once said: families with stable incomes between 30,000 to 50,000 yuan are the happiest. Outside of a few big cities, they wouldn’t worry about material concerns. But what about those with tens of millions, or even billions? They’re constantly worried about managing their assets. Did it shrink? Is there a problem with the company? Their entire being is on the brink of a breakdown.
