Chapter 37: If you want to piss me off, just go ahead and do it. What’s the point of trying to be sneaky? “You…
The corridor lights were jumping around , a mixture of light and dark .
The backpack that suddenly attacked was blocked by the other party's arm . Due to the size difference , the man used a little force and easily took away her backpack .
The strap hung on his arm , and he pulled the bag over his right shoulder , and with his other hand he brushed down the hood .
Chi Leyou caught sight of a pair of eyes that were dyed pale gold by the light .
" You ! Why are you scaring me ! " The tense nerves broke in an instant , and anger surged like a tide .
" I called you , " he said , afraid she would n't believe him , shaking the witness 's head . " Your classmates all heard it . "
Chen Che shook her schoolbag , and the pendant jingled , " Back , back , back . " " The murder weapon was thrown in my face . "
He bent down , his face close to hers , and enumerated her crimes : " Disfigured . "
A red mark with frayed edges broke through the pale skin color , resembling a long line drawn by a red pen on A4 paper .
" Who told you to be sneaky ? " Chi Leyou opened his eyes wide and looked at his neck .
He brushed the moisture off his coat and looked around . " There are so many side roads . I 'm lost . Who designed this awful maze ? "
" Go straight ahead . On the ground floor is the school history room . You can look up the architect 's name there . "
Chen Che , carrying her schoolbag , followed her closely . If she went left , he would go left too . " Where's my banner ? "
The girl stopped and tilted her head to look at him . " I checked for you yesterday and just entered it into the transfer warehouse . "
" So it's on the plane today ? "
“ … … ”
The two of them shuttled to the ground side by side . The sky was gloomy . Chi Leyou took out his cell phone and held it in front of Chen Che .
Pinduoduo purchase record : Melia mop head , quantity 2 .
" Mop Head hasn't arrived at the transfer warehouse yet . " The high - sounding banner is going to take the same flight with the dirty mop head .
" ! " His face was darker than the sky .
" You 're the one who insisted on asking . " Chi Leyou took the bag back from him and took something out of it . " Here you go . "
Before my eyes could see clearly what it was , my hand took it .
A soft , still - warm mass of something — the surface was twisted with several layers of plastic wrap .
" What ? " Chen Che held it up to his eyes and examined it as if he were examining a cultural relic .
" Rice ball . "
He pinched the rice ball , which was wrapped tightly in plastic wrap . " Which Japanese food store did you buy this from ? You must have been ripped off . How can you sell it like this ? You would n't even accept it if you donated it to a homeless person at a food bank . "
Chi Leyou said with a dull face : " I did it . "
“ … … ”
The raindrops fell densely , and the world outside the teaching building was invaded by rain and fog .
Chen Che tried to make peace , but could n't : " I 'll eat it now . " He felt around the surface of the rice ball , but the plastic wrap was too tight and he couldn't find an opening .
The raindrops hit the soil , bringing with them the scent of new shoots and tender grass .
The Indian professor wearing a turban looked at the two of them with a smile .
Chi Leyou greeted the professor , his eyes slanted towards Chen Che , his eyelashes fluttering wildly , signaling him to leave quickly .
The big man stood still at the classroom door , his lips curled up slightly : " Are your eyes twitching ? "
" Nerve . "
She walked into the classroom and sat down in her old seat in the front row . When she looked back , there was no one outside the door .
Finally , the door god was sent away .
Halfway through the course , it was Chi Leyou 's turn to give a presentation . After a whole week of preparation , he could n't speak fluently anymore . It was as if an invisible screen was projecting before him , and the content in his mind was jumping up word by word .
The applause was thunderous .
The tension in her heart was relieved , and while she was walking down the stage , she glanced at the classroom door .
A claw came in sideways .
The thumb was shining brightly , as if afraid that she couldn't see it .
The professor laughed : " You even hired a cheerleading team . "
The applause stopped and wows began to rise one after another .
The girl who didn't blush in front of the whole class now had a blush all over her face , all the way to her ears .
.
Class is over .
As soon as they left the classroom , they saw the door god standing under the eaves . He was answering the phone , his toes kicking the rainwater that had accumulated on the steps . Chi Leyou temporarily suppressed the urge to scold him .
The old lady on the phone got straight to the point : " Xiaoxi , grandma wants to introduce a girl to you . "
There was no hint of inquiry in his tone . Chen Che hated this kind of blind date the most . How was this any different from the ancient times where the red veil was lifted to reveal the groom was bald and the bride had a face full of moles ?
" I have a partner , aren't you very clear about it ? " Shen Che took out the gun again .
" ... that electric pole ? Do you want me to get into ICU ? "
Shen Che turned around and found that Chi Leyou had already finished the class , and the words were stuck in his throat .
The decibel level dropped again , and the old lady used both soft and hard tactics : " That 's because you have n't met a good girl . Grandma will introduce you to a good one . She 's beautiful , down- to-earth , and a native of H City . And , like you , she 's studying in Maple Leaf Country . "
Shen Che wasn’t interested .
Du Yuanshan returned to China and left him with Zhao Xizhi , a time bomb , which made him unable to return home and had to stay in the apartment every day .
" Grandma , this is n't right . You 're eating from your bowl while looking at the pot . " Lia Xing , Chen Che pulled Zhao Xizhi to block the attack , " Hurry up and get Xixihaha away . If you ask me to go on a blind date again , I wo n't be as easygoing as I am now . "
" You little bastard , I 'll let Old Chen punish you later ! "
Chen Che kicked with his foot , and the water on the ground splashed up . The girl leaning against the door frame dared not breathe .
Unexpectedly , he changed the subject : " Ss Wang , as for you , enjoy your retirement life . I know what I am doing . "
Seeing his soft voice , " Ms. Wang " on the other end of the phone said : " What do you think ? Do you think you will bring a man home for me ? If you want to piss me off to death , just do it. What's the point of trying to be sneaky ? "
" I'll show it to you next time . " He glanced quickly at the girl behind the door frame . " ... that means she 'll be happy with it . "
The little old lady paused for a breath and asked cautiously , " Is it a boy or a girl ? "
She finally understood the word game .
" What's the difference between a man and a woman ? Do n't I like both ? "
" Chen Che ! " the old lady yelled .
The girl behind the door frame pulled her head back , her heart pounding . She could only hear Shen Che 's voice . From his narration , he told her that her bedridden grandmother was eager for her grandson to bring home a girlfriend .
The old lady was unwilling to give up , so she arranged blind dates for several girls and Shen Che .
As a result , he was not happy . He had someone he loved , so how could he have his cake and eat it too ?
Thinking of this , Chi Leyou silently gave Chen Che 5 points in his heart : This guy is quite loyal .
The rich sister made the right choice .
Raising her sight again , she caught a glimpse of Chen Che coaxing into the phone , " Girl , is this all right ? Do n't ask for details . "
This kid , Chi Leyou suddenly realized that he was playing word games with his grandmother . The rich sister is a girl , and Chen Che is waiting for an opportunity to bring her back to his family . This is to formally introduce her to his family .
She gave Chen Che another 5 points : not caring about worldly opinions and firmly choosing the other person . Such a person is loyal .
It 's nice to be friends with someone like him .
" Ah , a girl ! " the old lady was excited , her trembling voice transmitted through the signal into Chen Che 's ear . " Is she pretty ? What does she look like ? Can you show me a photo ? "
There were several classrooms in the corridor , but only that classroom had its door wide open . Chen Che glanced around and saw no one .
" No photos . " He said in a high tone . The old lady across from him dared not give up and kept asking for photos . Chen Che said , " Take paper and pen and draw according to my instructions . "
" Mrs. Wu— ! Get some paper and pen ! "
The smile on his lips grew wider and wider : " A big , round cake with a human figure in the middle , three horizontal lines , one vertical line , and three curved lines . " ①
The old lady took three seconds to react and finally realized : " Asshole ! Is n't this Old Man Ding ! "
" It 's Old Man Ding 's wife , " Chen Che corrected . His mind had already flown to the classroom door , where three wild hairs sprouted from the doorframe . " Ss Wang , if you keep pestering me to call , I 'll ignore you . "
The signal was bad , and the old lady 's voice was intermittent : " Ah , what are you going to do ? "
" Chasing a female classmate . Are you satisfied , Queen Mother ? "
" Ah ! Will you chase me ? Remember when I chased your grandfather ... "
" … … " If she continued , there would be no skill , and it would be all family shame . Chen Che coaxed her a few words , and the little old lady hung up the phone with satisfaction .
The sound of raindrops is dripping , winter is turning into spring , it is clearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon , the gray sky is pouring in , and the teaching building is given a film - like filter .
Two female students who were hiding from the rain pushed open the corridor door . The wind blew in , bringing in mist , and their vision was blurred in the moist vapor .
Chi Leyou leaned against the door , holding the tablet with his left arm , touching the screen with the white pen tip , and drawing with a curved line .
The light from the tablet reflected back into her eyes , making her dark pupils sparkle .
" What to write ? "
Chi Leyou froze , raised one arm to block it , and the schoolbag slid to the other arm .
Chen Che pulled the " retreat , retreat " on her schoolbag and complained , " Don't block it , I can see it . "
Less than 10 minutes into " Overheard , " Chi Leyou attempted to cover up his crime : " I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call . "
" Want to draw ? "
“ Hmm … ” At this point , the criminal lowered his head and admitted his crime dejectedly .
" A small flower costs 3.3 yuan , " Chen Che motioned her to continue drawing . He said a sentence and the girl followed with a few strokes . " Buy a skirt for 26 yuan and two buttons for 77 yuan . "
A simple sketch of an old lady suddenly appeared .
Chi Leyou suspected she was being set up . The rich sister was ten thousand times more beautiful than this painting and a hundred thousand years younger .
" Idiot . " Chen Che didn't want to laugh , but he could n't help it . " Didn't you draw Old Man Ding and Old Lady Ding when you were a kid ? "
" No. " Chi Leyou turned off the tablet and buried his head in organizing his things .
" Where are you from ? "
" H City . "
Chen Che was surprised , then studied her features . After years in Maple Leaf Country , her independent streak had obscured the gentleness typical of a southern girl , also obscuring her cheerful and carefree nature .
" Wood . " Two authentic dialect sentences , like hammers , hammered into her heart . Deeply and softly , he said , " Then why ca n't you draw ? "
Chi Leyou raised his head , his eyes brightening : " Are you from H City ? "
The new fellow villager smiled and nodded .
The two of them exchanged secret codes with each other , proving to be genuine people from H City .
Chi Leyou lamented that in all the years he had been in Maple Leaf Country , he had only met old immigrants from his hometown , and had never met anyone of the same age from H City .
Unable to find the right words , she slipped out , " You are a rare species . "
" Oh , so you are an alien . "
The rain continued incessantly , and the two of them stared at each other under the eaves .
No umbrella .
Chi Leyou squatted on the ground and called someone on his phone .
Park Ye- jin : I'm in the studio , and I finally found a delicious model ! Ugh ... he 's starting to strip ! Want to see the detailed pictures ?
Chi Leyou sent an emoticon package with the word " fork out " .
The sky and the earth are filled with fine silver threads that will not stop for a moment .
She asked , " Why didn't you check the weather forecast before going out ? "
The wicked young master was not afraid of being picked on . He stood beside the little mushroom , his posture as straight and upright as a pine tree in the forest : " I 'm addicted to debt collection . I come when I 'm excited . I 'm willing to use a knife . "
" … … " Chi Leyou wanted to contact a forklift to fork the annoying guy out of the way .
First of all , the debt owed to that damn golden retriever was only a few dozen dollars . Secondly , all she owed him was a small silk banner , the kind without the big dragon whiskers !
They each enjoyed the rain in their own way .
Shen Che’s phone exploded with messages .
It was also a small group , and except for Chen Che , all the members were staff working in the villa .
Uncle Zheng : Master , where are you ? You didn't answer the driver's call .
Mrs. Wang : I reminded the young master , but he said his friend had an umbrella and he wanted to borrow it .
Chen Che glanced at the bustling message board and muted it .
The girl who was hiding from the rain on the other side kept looking at her , and her friend pushed her .
The girl mustered up the courage to stand next to Chi Leyou and politely asked , " Excuse me , are you this handsome guy 's girlfriend ? "
" Ah ! No ! " Chi Leyou quickly jumped up from the ground and retreated to a safe distance .
Chen Che's face was as dark as if he had been to Africa for further studies : " ... "
" Hello , can you add me your contact information ? " The girl blushed . This was the first time she took the initiative to show her affection to a boy .
Shen Che was very straightforward and reported his WeChat ID .
The girl used her phone and searched for a WeChat account with a Q -man avatar : " I 've added it , please approve it ! "
In the distance , Chi Leyou turned his head away , indignant on behalf of his wealthy sister : " What a liar ! What a traitor ! He friend-friends every young girl he sees ! Break up ! We must break up ! I'm breaking up with him ! "
" Handsome boy , hurry up and pass through . " The girl urged Chen Che .
He folded his arms , his eyes skipped over the annoying strange woman , and fell on the mushroom in the corner , throwing dissatisfied words at it .
" Chi Leyou , someone added you as a friend , why didn't you accept ? Where are your manners ? "
The girl who was suddenly cue opened her mobile phone quickly and found that there was an additional friend verification on WeChat .
The few living people standing in the corridor held their breath .
Even the dumbest woman can see that the squatting girl and the handsome guy are a couple .
A moment of bravery , but a lifetime of isolation . The strange girl's eyes turned red , and her face turned pale .
Seeing her expression , Chi Leyou, who was very sympathetic , hurriedly stood up and frantically scrolled through the pages of her phone : " Hey , sister , don't worry , I added you , do n't cry ... "
" Woo-- " the girl said , " You 're going too far ! Are you two kidding me ?! "
