It was another night of singing.

Wu Ming posted on the channel---

No Name: Actually there really is no pregnant woman next door! Clear Sky-sama, don't lie or you'll have a miscarriage! [1]

Clear Sky had just finished singing a song, looked up and saw No Name's comment. He let out a "hei" and said: "Nonsense! There really is a pregnant woman next door! And her hearing is not that good either!"

Wu Ming touched his heated ears, then made a tsk sound. My hearing is still very good.

He went to the living room, opened the refrigerator and took out the tomatoes that were coated with white sugar that he made earlier.

Today, his co-workers gave him some tomatoes planted from their hometown, they were really red and bright. When he got home he decided to cut them into thin slices and sprinkle sugar over them. He needed to keep them cool after he made them so he placed them in the refrigerator, but now he could take them out to eat.

Each particle of the white sugar was sprinkled evenly on the red tomatoes, the greenish core along with the seed of the tomatoes showed its color to the eye of the beholder. When looking at it you could see some of the juices were collecting on the bottom, it was seductively delicious since the one eating the dish will get a bit of a sweet and sour taste, this fact alone made people drool all over.

Wu Ming put some on a new plate, then went over to knock on the other person's door. He was afraid the other person might not have heard him so he rang the bell.

Clear Sky stopped his song at the sound of his doorbell ringing, he then said to his fans on the channel: "Oh no, the pregnant woman next door is really knocking on the door; I need to send her away first."

Everyone was gloating at him.

Qin Kong opened the door and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for being so noisy..."

Wu Ming lifted up the crisper in his hand, "Hm?"

"No..." Qin Kong stopped for a second, "This is?"

"My colleagues gave me some tomatoes from the countryside, I decided to make this dish. I made too much for one person, so I decided to split some with you, haha," Wu Ming put the box into Qin Kong's hand.

Qin Kong looked at the delicious tomatoes in the box and his eyes lit up, "Wow, thank you so much!"

"It's nothing at all. I'll let you get back to work. I'll be heading back now."

They have a really good neighbor relationship, since they meet each other quite regularly and frequently. Whenever they have something good, they would share it with the other, as the time passed they are no longer as formal with each other.

Qin Kong returned to his room, opened the crisper and instead of using chopsticks, he used his fingers to pinch a slice of tomato and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed while savoring the flavor, it was really delicious. After he was finished with his first slice he smiled with his eyes closed.

Seeing that the chat room was still discussing about the pregnant woman next door, they even gossiped about how the pregnant woman next door would teach their sama a lesson or two. He turned on his mic and said with a proud tone: "The pregnant woman next door walked over and knocked on my door to give me food."

"Guess what she gave me? Whoa, so delicious!"

"Let me take a picture to show you guys, hehe!"

Wu Ming listened to the other person laughing with satisfaction, he also picked up a slice with his chopsticks. After he put it into his mouth he realized a cool sweet tomato is really delicious, that guy sure was profiting from this.

"This man eats my food and still dares to call me a pregnant woman!"

He visited the other man's Weibo and as expected there was a photo posted of the sugar coated tomatoes.

CV Clear Sky: Haha, it's a gift from my neighbor, really delicious! 【Picture】

So he immediately replied---

No Name in the Name: Envy!

The next morning.

Wu Ming was waiting at the elevator at exactly the right time to catch Qin Kong leaving for work. The two entered the elevator together and Qin Kong said: "Thank you for your tomatoes, they're really delicious."

"I still have a lot at home, they are all planted in soil brought from my colleagues' hometown, they're much better than those products that are sold at the supermarket. I'll bring some more over to you tonight."

Qin Kong touched his nose in embarrassment, "Eh, how can I be that shameless..."

"I really can't finish them all by myself, take it that you're helping me get rid of them." The elevator reached the bottom floor so Wu Ming exited the elevator first, not giving the other man a chance to refuse.

As they exited the building, they nodded at each other and then headed in different directions.

Wu Ming went to the left and Qin Kong to the right.

Their workplaces are at the opposite ends of the city, there is absolutely no connection between their lines of work. However, they just so happened to live in the same complex and next door neighbors to boot; this can be considered as fate.

Wu Ming thought this is good, since I do not expect much.

Qin Kong sure was a Weibo addict. Right after they said farewell to each other, he immediately posted a Weibo status---

CV Clear Sky: Whoa, my kind neighbor said that they wanted to give me some tomatoes and they're the home grown ones, not the same as the ones in the supermarket!

Comments as followed---

The pregnant woman next door is so generous!

The kind hearted neighbor always gives food to sama every time!

Sama, since you have nothing worth taking, use your body to repay her kindness!

......

Wu Ming usually does not check Weibo while he is working, when he was on his lunch break he took out his phone to take a look, he gave out a small smile as he read: "A kind-hearted neighbor."

Wu Ming replied---

No Name in the Name: Sama is so blessed. [happy]

Today, Clear Sky seemed to be in a very good mood, he even let the fans pick a song; when he got tired of singing, he would talk to his fans. Well, it was more like he was the one talking into the mic, while the fans typed their questions to be seen on the public screen.

For example, he said there was a gray cat at the office today. This cat seemed to like following people around, yet it did not like to be with him.

Another example, the cactus that he has been caring for is about to bloom, right now it only has some buds, but in about two days or so he will be able to take picture of the cactus in full bloom for everyone to see.

Yet another example would be about the next door neighbor. His neighbor said they wanted to give him some tomatoes, only thinking about it was enough to make him drool.

Wu Ming smiled, picked up a bag filled with containers of tomatoes that he had put out ahead of time. He walked over to his neighbor's and knocked on the door. After he answered, Wu Ming handed him the containers and said: "Please help me eat these."

Qin Kong accepted the bag and told Wu Ming to wait for a bit, he walked into his apartment and grabbed a box of chocolate and yesterday's crisper to hand to Wu Ming: "Don't refuse it, this is from my company and I really can't finish them."

Wu Ming took the box, said thank you and went back home.

Just as he put on his headphones, he immediately heard Clear Sky talking on YY: "My neighbor is like a genie. Every time I talk about her, she tends to appear right away; hehe, she just gave me a big bag of tomatoes just a few minutes ago."

The fans on the channel told him to repay her with his body.

Clear Sky said: "Don't joke around, she is a pregnant woman."

The group of fans on the channel started to burst into fits of laughter, sama began to say nonsensical things!

Wu Ming silently let out a small grunt.

Clear Sky continued to say: "Guess what I gave her as a thank you present? This is the so-call reciprocity rule, I gave her a box of chocolate, my favorite brand in fact. It's even edible for pregnant woman, eh."

Wu Ming opened the chocolate box, took out a piece, peeled off the wrapper, popped it into his mouth and vaguely said: "Edible."

Notes:

[1] don't lie or you'll have a miscarriage - Wu Ming did not mean ill will here, it is just a joke they made. since Clear Sky is a male, it is impossible for him to get pregnant, so there is no way he will have a miscarriage.
