70 Uniform Temptation 2

"You have the right to remain silent..."

Chen Yuang muttered softly, his deliberately lowered voice trembling slightly.

You can tell that he is very excited.

Ni Yue appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil, and his cheeks became hot unconsciously.

Who could have thought that tonight, everyone's faces would turn red one after another.

In the center of the crowd, the young master's speech continued:

"...I also want to thank Sister Ni Yue, Sister Zhang Chenling, Brother Chen Yuang, Brother Xu Zhiqian, and the other members of Shangshan Ruoshui for helping me bathe. Thank you for your great love that healed me and helped me pull myself together from my decadence. Without your support and encouragement, I might still be wasting my life without even realizing it... Finally, I want to especially thank Uncle Fei and Brother B Wang, who sponsored most of the food and drinks tonight. Uncle Fei's homemade shengjian (a type of fried dumpling) is the best I've ever tasted. If I could, I'd eat it forever..."

Uncle Fei had returned to the crowd without anyone noticing, with only Sailor Moon between him and the young master and his mother.

Understanding the hidden meaning in the young master's words, he grinned and laughed foolishly, with the corners of his eyes bursting out.

This confession was so touching, but Ni Yue just let it go in one ear and out the other.

Her mind was completely drawn to her wrists. She managed to calm herself down, staring straight ahead, as if talking to the air, and whispered to Chen Yuang, "Uncuff me before I get angry."

"It's impossible now! Let's wait until after tonight!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuang gently turned his wrist and grabbed her hand.

The two people clasped their palms together, their fingers intertwined.

Ni Yue shuddered and tried to shake off his hand, and her shoulders shook along with it, but the movement was so slight that it seemed more like she was acting coquettishly.

Chen Yuang had a wicked smile on his face, as if his scheme had succeeded. "Don't move. Sister Paoqiu is watching us."

Upon hearing this, Ni Yue immediately raised his eyes and looked at the running ball sister diagonally opposite him. Sure enough, she was looking at him and Chen Yuang with a smile.

“…” I was very angry, but I couldn’t show it. I could only pretend nothing happened and smile at the running ball sister.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuang suddenly raised both of their hands and waved them in the direction of the running ball sister.

It seems like a greeting, but also like a display of one's trophies.

Seeing this, Sister Running Ball smiled even more happily, and King B behind her was also grinning.

The handcuffs made a slight noise, attracting the attention of several onlookers nearby.

I'm going to die! Feeling that there were eyes on him from all directions, Ni Yue was angry and embarrassed. He pulled Chen Yuang's hand back to its original place.

His head was dizzy and he didn't even realize when the young master's speech ended. Anyway, after a burst of warm applause and whistles, everyone scattered and rushed to the dining area to feast. Only then did Ni Yue wake up from his dream.

Pulling Chen Yuang to the French window in the living room, she said with a look of rage, "If you don't want to die, open the lock!"

Her angry look was quite charming in Chen Yuang's eyes. "No, I'm going to lock myself with you tonight!"

"...Chen Yuang, could you please stop making trouble?"

"I'm not making a fuss. Tonight, I'm a Hong Kong police officer, and you're my suspect. My job is to keep a close eye on you and make sure you don't get away!"

"...Suspect? What crime am I suspected of?"

Ni Yue appeared to be righteous on the surface, but he couldn't help feeling a little frightened.

Ever since she first heard that Chen Yuang was "fired" from the hospital, she felt a deep sense of guilt. Later, she followed Xu Zhiqian to confirm repeatedly, and only then did she realize that it was "suspension" and not "fired." However, her guilt did not ease at all.

On the contrary, every night when she got into bed, the image of Chen Yuang with bruises and patches on his face the last time she saw him would appear in her mind.

Like a mouse sneaking in at night, the guilt gnawed at her bones relentlessly, making a "crunching" sound and keeping her awake all night.

However, when she regained consciousness the next day, she couldn't help but question herself: It was Chen Yuang who went and hit him, so what crime had she committed? Who cared about her wounded and broken heart?

...His thoughts returned to the present. Without waiting for Chen Yuang's reply, Ni Yue gritted his teeth and pressed on, "Sir, what crime am I suspected of having committed? Tell me!"

Chen Yuang curled his lips and was about to speak slowly, but unexpectedly, a male voice he was not familiar with suddenly rang out beside him, "Excuse me, can you give up this place to me?"

Turning around and seeing the man in front of him, Ni Yue was stunned for a second, "Li Yuan?"

The boy was struggling to move a small round table in front of two people.

"What are you doing?" Ni Yue was confused.

"The magic show is about to begin! Ladies and gentlemen, please go to the opposite side to watch!"

Li Yuan leaned forward and made an invitation gesture.

"Ouch!" The tall hat on his head almost slipped off. He quickly held the brim of the hat and stood up with an awkward smile on his face, which made his facial features look like the word "囧".

"Let's go and make room for the great magician!"

Chen Yuang took Ni Yue's hand and left, as if she was his personal property.

In order to ensure that no one could peek at his performance from behind, Li Yuan deliberately chose a position with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window. His mother and father helped him to draw the dark red curtains in the living room tightly, and also turned on the young master's headlights towards Li Yuan - he looked like a great magician performing on stage.

The crowd formed a semicircle in front of him.

The first magic trick he performed was: the disappearing coin.

"Everyone, please look, this is an ordinary coin!" He picked up a coin from the table and showed it to everyone confidently.

"Now, I'll let it go through my palm!" He then placed the coin on the palm of his left hand and covered it with his right hand.

"Puff!" After blowing a breath mysteriously, he slowly moved his right hand away, and the coin in the palm of his left hand disappeared!

Everyone was confused, "Where did the coin go?"

Li Yuan had a smug smile on his face. When the atmosphere had fermented enough, he slowly walked to Grandma Ouyang and took out the "disappearing coin" from her pocket.

There was thunderous applause in the living room.

Even Grandma Ouyang was beaming and gave a thumbs-up: "Wow, money is falling from the sky! He is worthy of being my grandson!"

Li Yuan turned around and went back behind the table to start the second magic trick: piercing the cup with fingers.

…

To everyone's surprise, each of Li Yuan's magic tricks was extremely brilliant, without revealing any flaws. Ni Yue, who was watching a magic show live for the first time, was deeply impressed.

She was completely immersed in it, forgetting the handcuffs on her wrists and Chen Yuang who was hanging with her.

After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.

Turning around, it was King B.

He gestured with his hands, motioning her to come over.

Without thinking, she turned around and followed him, but her wrist was suddenly tightly strangled.

Only then did she realize that she was not alone, and she turned around quickly, but almost bumped into Chen Yuang behind her.

"We are connected, be careful!" He muttered to himself and complained, having almost been pulled down.

“…” She glared at him fiercely.

The two followed King B to the door, where Sister Running Ball was already waiting.

King B gently stroked the ball-running sister's shoulder and said to them, "She can't be too tired. She needs to rest early at night. So we'll go back first. I've already said hello to the young master and his mother, and now I'll say goodbye to you!"

The ball-running sister stared at Ni Yue with her big eyes without blinking, a look of reluctance in her eyes.

For a moment, Ni Yue thought this was the final farewell.

Fortunately, this idea was immediately denied by the ball-running sister. She hoarsely invited him, "In a few days, you two... come to my house and play!"

"The two of us?" Ni Yue hesitated. Do I have to act out the love scene with Chen Yuang again?

Chen Yuang, however, agreed before she could: "No problem, we'll see you in a few days!"

Ni Yue pinched his hand hard.

Chen Yuang hissed quietly.

The little actions between them did not escape the eyes of the running ball sister. She opened her mouth and laughed unscrupulously, and her eyes were wet with laughter.

King B also chuckled, but the laughter did not reach his eyes. There was a hint of concealment in his eyes.

What are they hiding? Ni Yue's keen sixth sense told him that the couple were guarding the same secret.

But she couldn't guess what the secret was.

After watching them leave, Chen Yuang dragged Ni Yue to the dining area. He found a bottle of pink-labeled Ecuadorian rose from the ice bucket, opened it, poured two glasses, and handed one to her. "Don't let King B's kindness go to waste just because you're angry with me. Come, let's have a toast!"

Ni Yue rolled his eyes at him, took the wine, took a small sip, and his mouth was filled with the sweet fragrance of roses. It was indeed delicious!

"Why are you drinking like a lady tonight?" Chen Yuang was a little surprised to see her sipping one sip at a time, not as generous as usual.

Ni Yue was annoyed, "What if I drink too much and need to go to the bathroom?"

A sly glint flashed in Chen Yuang's eyes. "So, in order to stay locked up with me, you don't even dare to drink?!"

Her little trick was exposed, and she felt extremely ashamed.

He immediately tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then put the cup down and stuffed a beef pan-fried bun into his mouth. He puffed out his cheeks and retorted, "Who said I don't dare to eat or drink? I'm going to poop and pee soon, and see what you can do!"

Chen Yuang obviously hated people talking about shit, piss and fart all the time, but when he heard Ni Yue say this, he was overjoyed. He thought this woman was extremely cute and couldn't help giggling.

The two people were arguing while eating and drinking.

Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd, "Grandma, let go, it hurts!"

He immediately stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw Grandma Ouyang pulling Li Yuan's ear hard. Li Yuan was bent over and cried out "Ouch".

His hair was disheveled and his magician's top hat was long gone.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and no one knew what was going on.

Zhang Chenling rushed over to help, "Mom, please let go, and talk it over!"

"Who are you calling mom?" Grandma Ouyang turned to look at Zhang Chenling. There was no warmth in her eyes anymore, but full of doubt and distrust.

It was the first time that she stared at her coldly. Zhang Chenling suddenly felt a chill, and her throat choked. "I...I called you, I'm your daughter!"

"You are my daughter?..." Grandma Ouyang's eyes suddenly became confused again. She lowered her head and frowned, as if she was trapped in a whirlpool of memories.

Li Yuan took the opportunity to escape from her.

Grandma Ouyang came to her senses and immediately rolled up her sleeves and yelled at him, "You old fool, you're out there again, performing arts and flirting with other girls. Come home with me!"

Afraid that Grandma Ouyang would try to pull Li Yuan again, Zhang Chenling hurriedly hugged her tightly in her arms and tried to calm her down.

Li Yuan, who was rubbing his ears, said helplessly: "She won't be able to recover for a while, I'd better take her home and stop making trouble here!"

Zhang Chenling was worried and wanted to go with them. At this time, Xu Zhiqian stepped forward and said, "I'll drive you!"

After saying goodbye to the host, the four people left in a hurry.

Xu Zhiqian clearly didn't drink tonight, but he drove with speed and passion as if he was drunk. He stepped on the accelerator hard and ran a red light. In just over ten minutes, he drove the car from People's Square to Xiangyang South Road.

The car braked suddenly at the entrance of the alley and everyone almost flew out of the windshield. Grandma Ouyang was probably carsick and vomited without waiting for the door to open.

A foul odor filled the nose and everyone began to retch.

"I'm sorry, I was afraid that grandma would feel claustrophobic and get scared or go crazy in the car, so I drove a little faster..." Xu Zhiqian apologized while vomiting.

...Zhang Chenling waved her hand and said nothing, leaving the mess to Xu Zhiqian, the culprit, to clean up. She and Li Yuan helped Grandma Ouyang get out of the car and walked home.

The moonlight in the alley gently falls on three generations of people.

Grandma Ouyang looked nervous. As she walked, she tilted her head and looked at Zhang Chenling with distrust, muttering, "My daughter, you are my daughter?..."

Zhang Chenling kept silent and walked forward silently, but she felt indescribable sadness in her heart.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Chenling walked out of the alley and saw that the van had been cleaned inside and out. Xu Zhiqian was using alcohol and disinfectant spray to do the final finishing work.

Seeing her coming towards him, Xu Zhiqian was startled, "You're here so soon? Is Grandma Ouyang asleep?"

"She didn't acknowledge me and wouldn't let me help her undress, so of course it was quick!" Zhang Chenling smiled helplessly. "Are you hungry? Can you still eat?"

Even if his stomach is churning, would Xu Zhiqian say no if his beloved woman invites him to have a midnight snack?

The two men walked straight into the wonton shop at the entrance of the alley and each ordered a bowl of small wontons.

Zhang Chenling picked up the spoon and stirred the rice in the bowl, but was reluctant to put it into her mouth.

Realizing that she was a little depressed, Xu Zhiqian asked tentatively: "What's wrong with you? Is Grandma Ouyang okay?"

"Nothing!" Zhang Chenling shook her head and then asked, "An elderly person with Alzheimer's disease who is confused and paranoid, constantly misremembering his relatives, and occasionally wets his pants, should be considered in trouble or not?"

Xu Zhiqian thought about it, compared to ordinary people, Grandma Ouyang was certainly in trouble, but compared to her fellow patients, her performance was perfectly normal, maybe even better!

So he smiled bitterly, "Whether it's something or not, it's a headache!"

He didn't know that at this moment, Zhang Chenling had some more hidden and complicated feelings lurking in her heart.

She couldn't explain what those feelings were specifically, she just felt very confused.

Suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, she swallowed the first bite of wonton.

Xu Zhiqian also buried his head in eating wontons.

Just as he lowered his head, Zhang Chenling suddenly saw Grandma Ouyang in black standing under the sycamore tree outside the wonton shop.

"?" She was stunned.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I upgraded our customer management system to version 2.0 last night. I've already tested it, but there might be bugs, so I wanted to let you know in advance. I'll also remind everyone in the work group later..."

Xu Zhiqian raised his head while speaking, completely blocking Zhang Chenling's sight.

"Wait!" she interrupted him hastily, twisting to the side and looking outside over his shoulder.

This time, there was no one under the sycamore tree.

It might have just been the shadow of a tree, or it might have been my own illusion.

Sighing, she motioned Xu Zhiqian to continue.

After eating supper, the two walked out of the wonton shop.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned into the alley, Zhang Chenling was almost knocked over by a person in pajamas.

She shouted "Wow" and looked closely, and found that the person who bumped into him was Li Yuan!

He put his hands on his hips, panting and gasping for breath, "Grandma, grandma..."

"What's wrong with grandma?" Zhang Chenling suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Grandma opened the door and ran out while I was taking a shower!"
