Chapter 409: The End of the Universe is a Young Woman

Guan Tingmei knew that Lin Lang was implying something, but she pretended not to understand and replied, "Nowadays, people go to the steamed bun shop to buy steamed buns. Fewer people steam buns at home."

"Today, Aunt Mei's family only has rice, but no big white steamed buns for you to eat~"

Lin Lang ate the braised pork while smacking his lips, but replied with some sadness: "The braised pork made by Aunt Mei tastes just like the one my mother used to make when she was alive. It's really delicious!"

Guan Tingmei picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork with fat and lean for Lin Lang. "It's the braised pork your mother taught me to make. Of course, the braised pork I make tastes the same as your mother's!"

Lin Lang chuckled and said, "It feels so good to taste my mother's braised pork again!"

Guan Tingmei touched Lin Lang's hair and said lovingly, "Eat slowly so you don't choke. Try the scallion oil jellyfish head that Aunt Mei made. I remember you loved this cold dish the most when you were a child."

Lin Lang took a bite of the scallion oil jellyfish head, and then said with an exaggerated expression: "The jellyfish head and the fragrant scallion oil meet, just like lovers. It tastes fresh, salty, crispy, and every bite is unforgettable!"

"Xiao Lang, where did you learn all these things?"

"How come you can use such suggestive words as lingering and sad when eating a jellyfish with scallion oil? It seems that you are really a talented novel writer." Guan Tingmei took a bite of the jellyfish with scallion oil.

Lin Lang chuckled and said, "Aunt Mei, you mentioned the novel. I sent the manuscript to your email this afternoon. Have you read it?"

After hearing this, Guan Tingmei replied with interest: "I saw it!"

"Xiao Lang, the book you created, "The Ancient City of Jingjue", is simply amazing!"

"The story and plot of this tomb-robbing novel you wrote are eye-opening and completely different from other works. It's so good that I can't stop reading it!"

After hearing this, Lin Lang said modestly: "This is just a small work. If there is anything wrong with it, Aunt Mei, please give me some advice~"

Guan Tingmei replied with a hint of excitement: "Xiao Lang, you are too modest."

"Aunt Mei, I work in book publishing and have read countless manuscripts over the years. Your pioneering work on tomb-robbing novels will surely cause a sensation in the novel world and among readers once it is published and released to the novel market."

"Aunt Mei can tell you responsibly that your first novel in the "Strange Blowing Lantern" series will definitely be very popular after it is published!"

Lin Lang raised his glass and said, "Then I will borrow Aunt Mei's good wishes and wait for the new book to sell well."

Guan Tingmei clinked glasses with Lin Lang, took a big sip of white wine without changing her expression, and praised: "Xiao Lang, from this tomb-robbing novel you wrote, it can be seen that you have a deep cultural background."

Lin Lang drank half a glass of white wine in one gulp, put down the glass and replied: "Aunt Mei, you are too kind!"

As Guan Tingmei picked up some food for Lin Lang, she said, "You have a very deep understanding of history, archaeology, folklore, etc. These elements have been cleverly integrated into the story, making the readers feel as if they are in a mysterious and dangerous world."

“Your writing is also excellent, and you vividly depict the various tomb scenes and characters, allowing readers to deeply feel the tension and excitement.”

"It's just that Xiaolang, you studied finance in college, not archaeology. How did you manage to have such a wide range of knowledge and write such a wonderful tomb-robbing novel?"

Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer that. He was a time traveler who plagiarized other people's popular novels through the system.

So, Lin Lang replied: "Aunt Mei, you may not know yet, I am the last disciple of Zhou Zhongdang, the treasure appraiser from Haihai. I have studied history, archaeology, folklore and treasure appraisal in depth."

"Master is the country's leading treasure appraiser and collector, a researcher at the Palace Museum and the State Council, deputy director of the Yihai Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, and consultant of the Yihai Museum. Even if there are some tomb knowledge that I don't understand, I can just ask Master."

"So when it comes to writing tomb-robbing novels, digging for treasures, antiques, and collectibles, I can be considered a semi-expert!"

After hearing this, Guan Tingmei exclaimed, "Xiao Lang, it turns out that you are the apprentice of the treasure appraiser Zhou Zhongdang. I was wondering how you know so much about tomb robbing, history, folklore, and archaeology!"

"Aunt Mei, don't you watch the programs on Haihai TV very often?"

Guan Tingmei replied while eating: "As the president and editor-in-chief of a publishing house, I usually read more books and rarely have time to watch TV programs. Reading is not only my job but also my hobby!"

After hearing this, Lin Lang said, "I see. There is a program on Hai TV called "Appraising Heirlooms". I am a special treasure appraiser in this program. Aunt Mei, you can take a look when you are free."

"Wow~ Xiaolang, you've become famous on TV!"

"Come, Aunt Mei will give you a toast. Seeing you are so successful, I am really happy for your mother!"

Lin Lang clinked glasses with Guan Tingmei, and after drinking the wine in his glass in one gulp, he replied modestly: "It's just a small achievement, not worth mentioning."

Guan Tingmei took a sip of white wine, put down the glass and said, "Your master has two books on treasure appraisal, which were published by our Yangshizi Publishing House!"

"I didn't expect Aunt Mei and my master had met before. The celebrity circle in Haiyang is really small!"

Guan Tingmei poured wine for Lin Lang and replied, "Yes! The celebrity circle in Haihai is so small. Your master has a daughter who is a professional female motorcycle racer. Her name is Zhou Mengyao, right?"

"Aunt Mei, I can pour the wine myself."

"My master has a daughter named Zhou Mengyao, what's wrong with that?"

Guan Tingmei replied: "Of course I want to make an appointment with Zhou Mengyao. She is now the number one female motorcycle racer in Asia and is very popular online."

"Please ask Aunt Mei if Zhou Mengyao wants to publish a celebrity autobiography or a photo album to attract some business for Aunt Mei's publishing house!"

Lin Lang replied readily: "OK, no problem!"

"But it's unlikely that Mengyao will publish a celebrity autobiography, because she hates this kind of fame-seeking stuff. Mengyao is a contracted artist of our music company, so I can make the decision on publishing a photo album for her."

Guan Tingmei was surprised when she heard this: "Zhou Mengyao is an artist of your music company? Alang, are you still working in the music company?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "I am not talented, but I am the chairman of Maitian Music Company."

Guan Tingmei was shocked and said, "Oh my God! My favorite male singer, Pu Shu, is a signed artist of Maitian Music. I didn't expect that you are Pu Shu's boss!"

"Aunt Mei, if you want Pu Shu's autographed album, I can get one for you!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"That's great!"

"Come on, come on, Aunt Mei will offer you a drink. Xiaolang, you are really capable now. I'm sorry for your disrespect!" Guan Tingmei looked at Lin Lang with great admiration.

"Aunt Mei, it's too polite for you to speak to me in polite words~" Lin Lang clinked glasses with Guan Tingmei and drank half a glass of white wine in one gulp.

Lin Lang drank the second glass of white wine.

Guan Tingmei drank the first glass of white wine, took a bite of the food, then smiled gently and charmingly and said, "Xiaolang, Aunt Mei likes capable men. You, a little man, really makes me look at you with new eyes!"

While eating fried peanuts, Lin Lang laughed and joked, "It's women's nature to admire strong men, but people also say that it's women's nature to be lustful. Is Aunt Mei lustful?"

"You little brat, you're so outspoken again. Aunt Mei is a decent woman, she's not lustful!"

"I see you, brat. You were smart and cute when you were little, but you seem to have become lecherous when you grow up. You even dare to make fun of your mother's best friend."

While Lin Lang was pouring wine for Guan Tingmei, he chuckled and said, "Aunt Mei, you are blushing because of shyness."

Guan Tingmei covered her hot cheeks with both hands and said defensively: "No, I blush when I drink!"

"Come, Aunt Mei, I'll toast you a glass. I'm here to thank you for this. I've also placed a photo of you and my mother at home. This is a token of my love!"

"I've done it, Aunt Mei, please do as you please." Lin Lang drank the wine in the glass.

Guan Tingmei took a big sip of the liquor and then replied, "Xiao Lang, drink slowly. This is a 2.5-liang cup. You've already drunk half a jin of liquor in two sips."

"It's okay Aunt Mei, I'm having dinner and drinking with you today, I'm happy."

Guan Tingmei felt warm in her heart after hearing this. She touched Lin Lang's handsome face and said lovingly, "Silly boy, being drunk is harmful to your health. You are happy to be with Aunt Mei, so don't drink too much!"

Lin Lang felt very comfortable when Guan Tingmei gently stroked his cheek, and responded with a smile: "Okay!"

While Guan Tingmei was pouring wine for Lin Lang, she asked, "Xiao Lang, when you publish your novel "The Ghost Blows Out the Light", are you sure you want to use the pen name "The Dream of Nine Billion Girls"?"

"Sure! What's wrong?"

Guan Tingmei teased: "Nothing, I just feel that your pen name is very narcissistic!"

"Since it's a pen name, of course it should be interesting!"

Guan Tingmei asked curiously, "Xiao Lang, you are really talented! In addition to Sanda fighting, treasure appraisal, novel writing, and opening a music company, what else can you do that Aunt Mei doesn't know?"

Lin Lang replied in a catchphrase: "I am not talented, I know a little bit about everything, just a little bit!"

"Xiao Lang, you've blown a bubble a little too big. You know a little bit about everything. How about Aunt Mei test you?"

Lin Lang replied while eating: "Okay! Then if I answer correctly, is there any reward?"

"What reward do you want, little brat?"

"I want the stockings that Aunt Mei wore, hehe..."

Guan Tingmei blushed after hearing this, and said coquettishly: "Xiao Lang, you are not serious, what do you want the stockings that Aunt Mei has worn?"

"I won't tell you, I just want it anyway!"

Guan Tingmei replied embarrassedly: "No, change the reward."

Lin Lang thought about it, then replied: "If Aunt Mei can't defeat me, then you can reward me by kissing you."

"Hey……"

"What kind of weird rewards do you want, kid?" Guan Tingmei tactically took a sip of white wine to hide her inner panic and entanglement.

What is she struggling with?

Of course, she was struggling with whether it was appropriate to attack the son of her deceased best friend!

"Aunt Mei, when I was a kid, didn't you always use candy to coax me into kissing you?"

"That's different!"

"You were a child then, but now you've grown into a grown man. If you kiss Aunt Mei again, she'll be embarrassed to let you kiss her!"

"What's the big deal? In Aunt Mei's eyes, I have always been a child who never grows up!"

After hearing this, Guan Tingmei touched Lin Lang's hair, and said coquettishly with a seductive look in her eyes: "You little brat, let me test you. I don't believe that you know a thing or two about everything."

"What does Aunt Mei want to test me on?"
