Chapter 55 "Why are you so mean to me?" Friends of the opposite sex who can talk about anything...

.

The indoor temperature continues to rise.

Chi Leyou's cheeks flushed, and her heart was beating fast. It was just a small matter, but it had caused her heart to burn with inexplicable emotions.

She struck while the iron was hot, and after a quick tour of the warehouse, she pulled out a shovel and started to work confidently.

Suddenly!

Use a shovel to shovel away the snow in front of the door.

Whoosh!

She shoveled the snow furiously, working harder than the neighbor's snowplow in the distance.

"Hi." The student next to her glanced at her, curiosity brimming in his blue eyes. "The car that brought you something this morning."

Chi Leyou guessed he'd seen the Double R luxury car Uncle Zheng drove. Chi Leyou wasn't going to chat with someone irrelevant, so she shoveled again.

The two houses were not far apart, and the young foreigner's eyes followed her. Under his gaze, Chi Leyou paused and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the car?"

The middle school student came towards her, his bare legs sticking out from under his sports shorts. He was wearing a pair of black Puma slippers on his bare feet, and he looked cold.

Chi Leyou's gaze shifted from his "Maple Leaf Junior High School Student" attire back to his face. The girl's patience was almost exhausted.

"That license plate is KFC V50," he said, instantly transforming from a naive young man into a fanboy, his voice switching to broken Chinese. "I'm a longtime fan of Du Yuanshan, and that car is hers. She came to the United States for vacation a while ago, and I went to meet her at the airport, and I saw her get in this car."

There is a lot of talk and it contains a huge amount of information.

First, this foreign-looking student is of mixed race. The packaging has been Westernized, but the base color remains red, with five bright yellow stars.

Second, he's a fan.

Chi Leyou asked politely, "Who is she?"

The other party was incredulous: "My sister's private car delivered something to you, and you don't know me?!"

The tone was like a judge's verdict, nailing Chi Leyou to the pillar of shame as an ungrateful person in advance.

"?"

Seeing that Chi Leyou didn't seem to be faking it, the little foreigner started to describe her in a babble, and the fairy sister he was talking about became more and more concrete in Chi Leyou's mind.

"Take a closer look?!" A red, frozen hand handed over Du Yuanshan's photo.

The girl's eyes were fixed on the female star in the photo—she was wearing a couture off-shoulder gown, a cool and elegant look. The actress's appearance blended with the elegant and graceful demeanor of the wealthy woman in the manor.

"She's a star?" Chi Leyou blinked blankly.

The young foreigner was irritated: "Are you Chinese?"

"Mathew!" the little foreigner's father called him, "Come back!"

The middle-aged man's gaze suddenly met Chi Leyou's. His eyes trembled violently, and the grown man stammered an apology: "I'm sorry! My son's brain isn't working very well. I'm sorry for offending you."

Chi Leyou was silent for a moment, but then he understood. Ren Mi's boxing champion stepfather and kung fu mother must have shocked the neighbors.

The snow showed no sign of stopping, and the girl wrapped up like a "zongzi man" was cleaning the snow in front of her own door.

The driveway merged with the sky, looking gray. The road surface that had been shoveled clean ten minutes ago was now covered with a layer of white blanket by the sky.

The sense of accomplishment that I had worked so hard to build up was shattered by subtle emotions.

It turns out she is a big star.

A palace-like home, countless luxury cars, a beautiful wealthy woman who looked only in her 30s, security personnel so strict that they would question even an ant, and...

Chi Leyou thought of Chen Che again.

A handsome, young, arrogant brother and a beautiful, ageless older sister—their relationship is like the Earth-Moon system: the Moon hangs eternally in the night sky, yet is forever bound by Earth's gravity.

They each take what they need.

Others have no right to comment.

Chi Leyou walked in carrying a shovel, sweat dripping down his temples.

I opened the Weibo post I hadn’t read for a long time and typed in “Du Yuanshan”.

One after another, entertainment entries entered her maple leaf brain, like an electric shock.

Chi Leyou hadn't seen any of the movies Du Yuanshan had acted in. But she had seen a sitcom she starred in before she became famous—a sitcom she had starred in as a child! She was still very young then, and all she remembered was the stunning beauty of the supporting actress. As a face-obsessed child from a young age, she loved pretty women on TV.

Du Yuanshan was beautiful before.

Time has only made her appearance more refined.

Scroll down and you'll see the awards Du Yuanshan has received... She has donated to several Hope Primary Schools, she...

Chi Leyou's gaze stopped at Du Yuanshan's Baidu entry.

unmarried.

Therefore, she is not bound by marriage and her love life should be wonderful.

Chi Leyou turned off the news about "popular actress having a night out with a puppy".

"I'm not going to become a nun. You can talk to whoever you want." The voice rolled out of her throat, echoing in the empty warehouse.

There was no one around. There was an electric tricycle in the warehouse that was shipped by Ren Mi's mother by sea. In the square rearview mirror, the girl unconsciously pursed her lips.

The shovel was like a jack. She put it back in its place, loosened her palm, and the weight shifted, pressing directly onto her heart.

She held her chest.

The phone in her pocket vibrated violently. The person who had just appeared on Weibo was calling her.

It wasn't a video call, so Chi Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. "Hello?"

A barrage of accusations emerged from the receiver: "Chi Leyou, why didn't you answer the phone? Do you know how many times I called you?"

"I'm shoveling snow."

The girl's tone was like an invisible pair of scissors, cutting off most of the burning candle wick.

The man immediately lost interest: "You can't not answer it. Do you know how..." worried I am?

That hour was a long blank. His remote control on the other side of the earth failed, and Uncle Zheng, who was rear-ended, was unable to come to help her.

Chi Leyou glanced at the battery level in the upper right corner and kindly reminded: "My phone is running out of battery."

There was silence on the other end. When the girl thought he had nothing to say, the other end suddenly broke through: "You dare not answer my call? Try it! Charge now."

Is he the King of Heaven or the Mother of Earth? Why should I answer his call?

The flood instantly rushed towards the dam blocking his heart, but Chi Leyou went against him: "Then I'll charge it. Turn off the phone and charge it!"

A fire that had been lit just a minute ago was extinguished one by one by someone's cowardly foot. When he spoke again, a voice of grievance welled up in his throat: "Why are you so mean to me?"

"..." Chi Leyou choked. It was clearly him who was the fierce one.

"Are you angry?" Chen Che regretted not making a video call. A phone call where you could only hear the voice but not see the person was boring. "I saw the news. Traffic in the city was paralyzed."

Chi Leyou: "I'm a housekeeper, not a traffic policeman."

Chen Che: “When will your friend come back?”

She briefly recounted the story of Ren Mi's family, and the man's voice rose again: "So her family won't be able to return for a while?"

"Um."

"Leaving you alone in a bare-bones house with no heating?"

Chi Leyou was unhappy: "I fixed it! Now the room is as warm as spring."

"Then what are you eating? This shabby house isn't connected to natural gas, is it?"

This person is clearly far away in the country, why is he so nosy?

Chi Leyou lowered his voice: "I have everything. The refrigerator is full. If all else fails, I still have instant noodles. I am now a squirrel stocking up for the winter. Are you satisfied?"

The girl exited the warehouse, and the electric rolling door slowly descended and successfully got stuck at a height of one person above the ground.

The forest patrol captain paused and asked, "What's that sound?"

"Oh," she complained. It was the heating just now, and now it's the electric shutter. Energy conservation is the law of conservation, and even the best of luck will eventually run out. "The shutter is stuck, I'm going to die."

"Go charge your phone." Don't hang up.

"I need to fix the electric rolling door."

"Are you a maintenance worker?"

"It's snowing so heavily outside. My bestie's warehouse and garage aren't connected. I can't leave it open, right?"

"This isn't a job you can do. What kind of girl would be a mechanic? I'll help you with this. Come inside quickly."

Chen Che was talking until his mouth was foaming. After much persuasion, he finally invited the young lady into the house.

Chi Leyou was not idle. He worked as hard as a tiger and posted questions online to various maintenance experts.

She ran to the garage, found windshield washer fluid, and braved the wind and snow to spray it on the sealing strip of the rolling door.

The ice melted. The electric rolling door problem was successfully solved.

At the same time, the maintenance worker that Chen Che hired at a high price arrived at the scene. Only 10 minutes later, the worker returned with a gloomy face and no results.

"The girl fixed the door herself."

Chen Che was stunned: "She can repair it?"

"She actually knows how to melt ice with glass water." The workers gritted their teeth. The industry secret was known to that girl. They walked here from the next block in the heavy snow because they came here for the high price.

He was speechless, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll pay you as usual."

.

"Chi Leyou!" He stopped calling, his voice like a roaring letter, making Chi Leyou's ears buzz. "I told you to stay home, why didn't you listen? I said I'd find someone to fix it!"

Chi Leyou was speechless.

After sending the workers off, the snow outside was so deep. She went out alone to shovel, and her shoes were swallowed by the snow. The white snow was everywhere, and she felt dizzy. She was so scared that she could not believe that she was getting snow sick.

After the bloated emotions dissipated, she wrapped herself in the quilt and curled up like a listless hedgehog.

The international student community isn't large, and even the second-generation rich, like the third-generation rich, look glamorous just by standing there. Shopping for bags, driving luxury cars, and hitting the clubs are just part of their daily routine. Even in unfamiliar foreign lands, with money at your fingertips, you'll be surrounded by a diverse crowd wherever you go.

She stopped, glanced at them quietly, and reminded herself clearly: this was not her way of life.

There was no need to envy him, she withdrew her gaze and continued on her way.

Chen Che sent another voice message: "I said I would help you."

Chi Leyou listened to this voice message over and over again.

After a long moment, she sniffed and revealed her true feelings: "I'm sorry, I don't seem to be used to having help." Afraid that he would misunderstand, she quickly added: "I don't mean to say anything bad about you."

Chen Che was speechless by her sudden desire to survive. He coughed lightly and replied to her: "Get used to it from now on."

Chi Leyou nodded and said yes. She was huddled alone in the empty house, her words bouncing off the white wall.

But the echo did not make her too lonely.

She seemed to have a friend of the opposite sex with whom she could talk about anything.

The man's voice was mixed with the noisy background noise.

The snow outside the window was falling harder and harder. The sky and earth were vast, and the buildings and distant mountains merged into the vast picture. Chi Leyou didn't know the time. It was almost dark, and it should be midnight back home.

She asked drowsily, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

The man's deep voice was mostly drowned out by the noise, and Chi Leyou could barely make out the background sound, which was English with a heavy accent.

Shen Che said: "It's too noisy, I can't sleep."

"Are you working?" the girl suddenly asked.

“You really are…” Shen Che laughed helplessly, “Which construction site would I go to work at this late hour?”

Her head was dizzy. Even though it was still daylight, she dragged out a sleepy tone: "It can't be Siberia, right?"

There was no reply from the other side.

Chi Leyou rubbed his eyes, found a comfortable angle on the armrest of the sofa, and replied: "Did I guess right?"

After a while, Shen Che spoke: "We are in tune with each other."

"?" Is he having a brain fever? Why is he talking nonsense?

.

Sheremetyevo International Airport, private jet landing area.

The captain, who was extremely experienced in flying, shook hands with Shen Che and said, "Mr. Shen, if Ms. Shirley hadn't contacted me, I would have taken my wife to the Imam Mountain Observation Deck to watch the sunset tomorrow."

Chen Che: "I'm sorry, Captain Rustam."

"But Ms. Shirley said that if you don't go to the Maple Leaf Country, you might be single for the rest of your life."

Chen Che had no idea how many bad things Sang Shi’s mother, Ms. Yu Xueli, had said about him.

"What else did Aunt Yu say?"

"She doesn't want you to get involved with her son." Rustam emphasized the word "get involved." "So, I must ensure that you arrive safely in Maple Leaf Country."

“…”

He just knew it!

The Russian flight attendant on the special plane smiled.

The Maple Leaf Country was hit by a blizzard, and the airport suspended all flights. Only the captains of the fighting nation dared to fly.

Boom! The private jet soared into the sky like a falcon. He connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, took a picture from the window, and sent it to Chi Leyou: evidence.

Chi Leyou enlarged the photo, and the buildings on the ground became models on the Lego street view board, and the golden road transformed into a slender link.

Not like the night view of H City.

Chi Leyou: Where are you?

Chen Che: Siberia.

Chi Leyou: Still playing tricks on me.

Chen Che: Zoom in and take a look. What is that pointed red wall in the upper right corner?

Chi Leyou zoomed in and out again, until the ground was all messed up. How could she see clearly?

The kind examiner gave a hint: Have you seen Mission: Impossible 4? It's right here.

Thoughts exploded in my mind, Chi Leyou: Are you in Moscow?

The plane of the fighting nation soared up rapidly, and even Shen Che, who had flown countless times, couldn't help but hold the armrest tightly.

He begged Aunt Yu, who worked in the charter business, to help him find a special plane capable of flying to Maple Leaf Country. Only Captain Rustam took the assignment. So, Chen Che, based in City H, flew for several hours and then appeared at the airport in a neighboring country. Sang Shi said he was going crazy. This wasn't a romantic relationship; it was a suicide squad.

Chi Leyou looked back at her chat history. Over the past 24 hours, except for breaks, Chen Che had messaged her regularly. There wasn't a single mention of travel, airplanes, or Moscow in the chat history.

Chi Leyou: Aren't you in H City? How did you get to Moscow?

After a while, she received three words——

Chen Che: Anywhere Door.
