Chapter 288 Moving to a New Home

Time passed like a page turning, and on the 20th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the Cheng family moved into their home on the artificial island.

Before leaving, the renovation team admired the island full of flowers and birds, marveling at the superb skills of the gardener they had hired.

These flowers are blooming so profusely that you can't even see the leaves; they look better than those photoshopped ones.

Shi Jinzhe slipped a few bank cards into Shehe's clothes and then stuffed a bright orange into her hand, saying, "Take this and go through the gate."

Schech, unfamiliar with these customs, asked in confusion, "Why do we need an orange?"

"Because when you move into a new house, the first person to enter cannot be empty-handed. If you bring an orange, all your wishes will come true."

Shekh took the orange from his mouth. "Okay, is there anything else you want?"

"Take another apple, for peace and safety."

"I can still take it."

"Then have a glutinous rice ball." Shi Jinzhe took a small bowl, scooped up a ball and put it into Shehe's mouth. "Don't burn yourself."

"This filling is delicious." Shekh swallowed. "One more, please."

"Taro paste, you like it made again tonight."

"Make more." After instructing him, Sheh walked towards the gate, then asked Shi Jinzhe, who was half a step behind, "Any other interpretations?"

"Seriously speaking, there are other things to bring, such as a fish, a bucket of rice, and inviting relatives and friends to make a ruckus at the house, but since it's just the two of us at home, we don't need to do the whole thing."

Schech twirled the apple in his hand, staring at the villa gate just a step away, and hesitated before taking a step back.

"Let's do it all."

This is her first home.

It wasn't a place anyone else had stayed at; it was a place specially designed according to her preferences, connected to her from beginning to end, and deserved to be treated with great care.

Shi Jinzhe said helplessly, "I was afraid you would find it noisy, so I omitted these things. Since you are willing, then wait a while, I will call a few people over."

"Is he/she your friend?"

“It’s someone we all know.” Shi Jinzhe glanced at Shehe while texting, “We can get the apples and oranges later, we’ll have to wait a while.”

Shekh did as he was told, putting down what he was holding and eating two bowls of glutinous rice balls while waiting.

Half an hour later, a cool and eye-catching red Bugatti drove into the area of ​​the artificial island.

Chi Yu slammed the door shut, then swept his hair back, letting the wind blow it into a slicked-back style.

"This house is really something, can I take a few pictures to show off to them?"

Shi Jinzhe replied, "Do as you please."

"Then I'll take the pictures." Before taking the pictures, Chi Yu took a few boxes of pastries from the car. "These are wife cakes for your wife. Our pastry chef was heartbroken all night when he heard she was moving away."

"Why is your cook so sad that she's gone...?"

"He finally had a chance to use his skills, but as soon as this person left, he became idle again."

Chi Yu walked further in and saw Sheh sitting on a bench by the flowerbed. He waved and said, "Hi~"

Shekh nodded in greeting.

Looking past Chi Yu, she saw a tall human figure walking towards her on the bridge in the distance.

Wearing a black hat and a black mask, the person's face was completely covered, but their muscular physique still gave them away.

"Why are you covered up so tightly?" Shehe asked when Meng Chengxi got closer.

Meng Chengxi took off his mask and hat and touched his nose.

He was genuinely surprised that Shi Jinzhe would invite him to move. Their relationship had stalled after he took his revenge, limited to liking each other's posts on social media, and they hadn't spoken much since.

After thinking it over, Meng Chengxi guessed that it was because these two people had rather special identities.

He saw the post on the forum. Being both a player and a boss is no ordinary player. It would be better to just invite a few trusted people to go through the formalities when moving to a new place.

Besides, this house is clearly not a place for ordinary people to live. Even in the original world, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Putting down the dragon fruit he was carrying, Meng Chengxi said, "As a public official, I have to avoid suspicion to prevent trouble from those with ulterior motives. Don't come here and get reported."

Sheh understood. Meng Chengxi was afraid of being caught red-handed, especially given Cheng Yun's previous incident of finding a scapegoat. He needed to be even more careful.

However, upon seeing Meng Chengxi and Chi Yu, Shehe understood that Shi Jinzhe had only invited people she knew and could get along with peacefully.

"Are we still missing one?"

"Wait a little longer." Shi Jinzhe sent a message to Jiang Yi, but there was no reply. He then made a phone call, but the line was busy.

That shouldn't be the case.

As Sher's only friend, Jiang was the first person Shi Jinzhe sought out.

He had specifically verified that he and Jiang Ziya both lived in this world, and that their messages and calls were answered just over half an hour ago. How come they couldn't be found now?

Fifteen minutes later, Shi Jinzhe's phone rang.

"Hey bro, your security guard won't let me in. He keeps saying I'm suspicious. Can you let me in? I've been arguing with him for ages."

"...Give him the phone."

After communication, Jiang was finally allowed to leave.

Even from a distance, before she even reached the bridge, the people on the island frowned.

Chi Yu reminded Shi Jinzhe: "You can't do any cleaning on the day you move, it's considered bad luck."

Shekh: "...She's a friend."

“Ah…” Chi Yu looked away: “…Her style of dressing is ahead of its time, which is in line with the core values ​​of the older generation that value hard work. It’s very trendy and quite nice.”

Shi Jinzhe said, "If you can't explain something that's both old and new, don't force it."

"Sorry I'm late."

Jiang Yi brushed off her skirt and her gaze fell on Shekh.

Just like what the forum said, she actually appeared in the original world...

I don't know if this has anything to do with Shi Jinzhe's skill.

Composing himself, Jiang Yue offered his congratulations with a beaming smile.

Congratulations to you both.

"How come you..." Shi Jinzhe spread his hands, "What's with this outfit of yours?"

"Hey, stop talking." Jiang Zi took out a bag of peanuts, a bag of melon seeds, a packet of longan, and a packet of dates from his large blue cloth jacket and put them all into Shehe's arms.

“I was in a car accident on my way here, and that person…” Jiang Yu asked the two people with his eyes: Were those two players?

Shekh shook his head slightly.

"Okay, that guy failed. He turned but didn't hit me. I couldn't dodge, and my white clothes got covered in dirt. I thought I couldn't wear dirty clothes to your housewarming, so I bought the cheapest clothes from the small shop next door. New is better than bad, so be it if they're ugly."

Jiang looked thoughtful. "I mainly feel that the car accident... there's something wrong with it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just doesn't feel right."
