Chapter 96 The Crowd Waiting for Aze
"Hey! Old Cui! How's Aze? Did he win?" Sung Dong-il pushed open the door, addressing him with different names each time.
Cui Wusheng shook his head.
"What's going on! Did we lose?" Cheng Dongri pressed.
“It’s not over yet, I’m waiting for news too,” Cui Wusheng replied.
"Sigh...really..." Cheng Dongri left.
"Where's Taek? Did he win?" Sunwoo asked as he arrived.
"Hmm, not yet~" Cui Wusheng was getting tired of answering, and his words became increasingly brief.
Sunwoo left.
"Has Taek not contacted us yet?" Deok-sun and Yoo Seo-woo came in from outside again a moment later...
"Not yet~" Cui Wusheng replied speechlessly.
Deok-sun and Yoo Seo-woo left.
Jung-hwan pushed open the door.
"The game isn't over yet! And the phone hasn't come! Go home and wait for news!"
Before Jung-hwan could even speak, Choi Moo-sung interrupted, leaving Jung-hwan stunned as he pushed the door halfway open.
Jung-hwan left, puzzled.
Originally nervously awaiting the phone call's outcome, Cui Wusheng's anxiety vanished thanks to his neighbors' antics. He slumped speechlessly onto the table, quietly waiting for the call.
.......
Phoenix Hall Alley.
At the street corner, Deok-sun and Yoo Seo-woo walked hand in hand down the street.
"Ah~ Seowoo, the first snow is coming soon~" Deoksun looked at him with a smile.
"Are you happy to see the snow?" Liu Shuyu asked in return.
"Hmm? You're not happy?" Deok-sun asked, puzzled.
"I'm happy, not just because I'm happy to see the snow, but even happier to see you!" Liu Shuyu said with a smile.
"real!"
"Come find me when it snows! Got it?"
Deok-sun stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch Yoo Seo-woo's head.
"Hey! Do you think I'm a child?! You're touching my head!"
Just as Liu Shuyu was about to reach out, Deok-sun didn't give him the chance. She jogged back into the yard, turned around, and peeked half her head out to give Liu Shuyu some instructions.
"Don't forget~ If you forget like last time, you're dead!"
Liu Shuyu, who had already raised his hand halfway, could only wave it off....
Zhenghuan, walking home from school, was standing outside the alley entrance. Although I've gotten used to it and let it go, it still hurts a little every time I see him.
Jung-hwan: You two bastards, can't you stay away from my house?!
........
Phoenix Hall Watch Shop
Cui Wusheng drew the curtains, preparing to close the shop for a break.
"Hey, Lao Cui!" Cheng Dongri pushed open the door and rushed out with a grin.
"How was it! Did the child win?" Jin Chengjun followed closely behind.
"Yeah, whether they won or lost, the results should be out by now, tell me quickly." Cheng Dongri asked in rapid succession.
"Didn't Jung-hwan tell you?" Choi Moo-sung asked.
“He didn’t say anything, he just went back to his room by himself,” Kim Sung-kyun replied.
"Seriously! Just tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense."
"If it were someone with an impatient temper, they would have been dead long ago!" Cheng Dongri said impatiently.
Cui Wusheng's expression darkened, but after seeing the tension in the two men, he laughed again: "We won!"
"oh!!"
"Hahaha!!"
"I told you, he's guaranteed to win!"
Sung Dong-il's exaggerated laughter and Kim Sung-kyun's beaming smile were both hilarious.
"How can we miss this on a day like this!" After confirming his victory, Cheng Dongri pulled out two bottles of soju from his two pockets.
Kim Sung-kyun happily pulled out a bottle of sake from his pocket and joined Sung Dong-il in unrestrained laughter.
Cui Wusheng's worries of the day turned into joy as the two lovable characters burst into laughter.
.......
Deok-sun's House
Deok-sun waited patiently by the phone for Taek's call to announce his return. Her friends had all made plans to eat his pizza; everything was ready except for Taek!
Bora's family of five was enjoying a basket of sweet potatoes, while four of them were happily eating, leaving Deok-sun hungry and waiting for something better to eat.
"Aigoo, I knew Taek was amazing, but I never imagined he could reach this level~" Paula's mother said with deep emotion as she watched the news interviews and reports about Taek playing on TV.
"Only people in our alley can treat him so casually."
"He's highly respected outside!"
Yu Hui sighed.
"Of course!" Dad nodded in agreement.
The mother glanced at Deok-sun, who was standing in front of the phone, and patted her leg.
"Deok-sun, why aren't you eating sweet potatoes? You used to be so reckless with sweet potatoes."
"They must have stuffed something else in there!" Bora complained to Deok-sun while eating.
"You brat! Why are you talking to your sister like that? Can't you just say 'eat' properly?" After scolding Bora, Dad turned to Deok-sun and said, "Deok-sun, don't mind it, come and eat some sweet potato."
"No, no, I can't eat that kind of thing today!" Deok-sun refused. "Why isn't the phone ringing yet?"
Sung Dong-il glanced speechlessly at the sweet potato in his hand, rolled his eyes at Deok-sun, and said, "I'll eat it myself. These two daughters are no pushovers; I can't be bothered with them..."
"My sister always goes to Shuyu's place to eat, she doesn't even want sweet potatoes anymore, oh!" Yu Hui teased his second sister.
Deok-sun turned around and gave him a death stare.
Yu Hui lowered his head and ate sweet potatoes
"The phone should be ringing by now~" Deok-sun lamented, waiting in front of the phone, not even eating her beloved sweet potato, just to wait for a bite of Taek's big pizza after his victory...
.........
Zhengfeng Family
The Leopard family gathered around the television, watching the continuous broadcasts of Aze's victory.
A plate of sweet potatoes was prominently placed on the table.
I don't know which family cooked it, but one family did, and everyone in the alley got to eat sweet potatoes.
"Jung-hwan, time to eat sweet potatoes!" Kim Sung-kyun called out to Jung-hwan, who was standing by the phone.
"No, I won't eat it~", Jung-hwan, who was hungry, decided to wait for Taek to come back so they could eat pizza.
Watching his family devour the delicious sweet potatoes, Jung-hwan could only keep glancing at his watch...
……
Sunwoo's family
Just like Deok-sun and Jung-hwan, Sun-woo waited in front of the phone.
The friends in the alley are all waiting for Aze's return.
"Sunwoo, have some food. Aren't you hungry?" Sunyoung called out, turning her head.
"Mom, you eat, don't worry about me~" Sunwoo stared at the phone without turning his head.
“Oh my god, my son is so eager to see you!” Sun-young teased her son.
……
"Ring ring~~" Deok-sun
"Ring ring~~" Jung-hwan
"Ring ring~~" Sunwoo
"Hello? You're back? Okay, got it."
Deok-sun, Jung-hwan, and Sun-woo all received news of Taek's return.
"Come back soon, Aze is very tired, don't bother him for too long~" Ms. Leopard.
"Ouch, Deok-sun, don't fall!" Lee Il-hwa exclaimed.
"It's okay to fall down~" Sung Dong-il teased Deok-sun, who was waiting for pizza instead of eating sweet potatoes.
Sunwoo quickly left, notifying the dollfish on the way.
Deok-sun then ran quickly to Seo-woo's house and knocked on the door to inform him.
The group quickly assembled! Destination: Aze's house!
