Chapter 120 Just Because I Care Too Much

Chu Ge, who had just said goodbye to Zhang Qiren, subconsciously thought that Yueying would be talking about Zhang Qiren.

However, Yueying opened her mouth like this: "I will stay in Nanjiang for a month and cooperate with the Nanjiang Municipal Bureau to work on the Wang family's case. This is my internship task. During this period, you can find Sister Qiu and fulfill the promise I made to her to study the shadow power."

Chu Ge was stunned for a long time before he sighed, "It's no longer necessary. Qiuqiu was just curious at the beginning, and it's of no use to her now."

Yueying pursed her lips: "But I always feel like I owe you a favor."

"You really don't need to keep it in mind. We are neighbors."

"Neighbor..." Yueying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there someone else living in my room now?"

"Not yet. I saw the landlord posted a rental advertisement outside. I guess it's also on the local app, but it seems that no one has come to see the house so far."

"That's great." Yueying smiled a little, which was rare for her: "I still have some things that I haven't moved yet, such as old computers..."

"Your salary is not low now, right?"

"It's an internship period, not a high one."

"Well... let's move it later. Qiuqiu and I can still help." Chu Ge thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Have you... seen my parents? Are they okay?"

Yueying was stunned: "Who are your parents?"

"..." Chu Ge scratched his head: "Forget it. Let's make a deal. When I return the things in the box to you, can I keep the box?"

Yueying hesitated and said, "It seems that the box is nothing...but I must ask for your advice."

"Public affairs are really troublesome." Chu Ge complained.

Yueying didn't answer, and Chugo didn't continue.

The conversation between the two was very casual... I felt that I had nothing to say to Yueying, and I couldn't continue smoothly and casually when I tried to find various topics. It was completely different from the casual chat with Lin Wuyang just now. Maybe it was because we were not familiar with each other, or maybe it was because Yueying's personality was too indifferent, which made it difficult for people to joke around.

Or maybe it was because they were a man and a woman after all. Chu Ge's heart was now full of Qiu Wuji, and he felt it was not good to talk too much with other girls. What's more, there was Zhang Qiren between the two of them... What made Chu Ge sigh was that Yueying never mentioned Zhang Qiren from beginning to end, as if their neighbor relationship had nothing to do with Zhang Qiren.

He couldn't help but mention it: "Zhang Qiren is going abroad."

Yueying said calmly, "If you want to catch him, I am the evidence of his black boxing and attempted murder. He can't even run away."

Chu Ge asked: "Then why don't you catch it?"

Yueying finally looked at him and said seriously, "You and Sister Qiu saved me. If he gets caught because of this, he might hate you. For me, this would be like betraying my benefactor."

Chu Ge was silent.

Yueying turned and left: "He will never stop doing the evil things he is doing now... One day, he will have other things fall into my hands."

…………

Chu Ge rode his electric scooter home silently. Yueying was obviously going back to the same community, but he didn't ask to take Yueying with him, and Yueying didn't ask him to take her with her either. But in a moment of distraction, Yueying had already disappeared into some shadow.

I had earned 100,000 yuan and heard that Lin Wuyang might be promoted, so I was in a good mood. But now I felt inexplicably depressed.

Obviously nothing happened, Zhang Qiren going abroad is not a bad thing, and I don't think Yueying and Zhang Qiren need to reconcile. In the matter of Zhang Qiren and Yueying, Chu Ge stands on Yueying's side. Anyway, everything is in line with common sense, but I don't know why I feel a little depressed.

Maybe it was just some literary youth syndrome that was kicking in, Chu Ge himself couldn’t figure it out.

Maybe it’s because people only like to see good stories, that’s all.

A beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

Qiu Wuji was carrying a basket of vegetables, swinging it in her hand as she walked home. As if sensing something, when Chu Ge's donkey appeared at the corner of the street, she turned her head and looked over at the same time, revealing a happy smile of "What a coincidence".

Chu Ge's mood suddenly became as vast as the sky and as boundless as the sea, as if autumn water filled his heart and cleared away all the haze.

"Zhang Qiren went abroad? I see. No wonder you look so pensive."

After returning home, Qiu Wuji sat on the sofa, holding his chin with his hand and listening to Chu Ge's story. With one hand he took out various fruits from the basket and placed them on the table like a magic trick.

Chu Geqi asked, "Why did you suddenly think of buying fruit? I've never seen you think of this before."

"Didn't I buy you durian?"

"Are you sure that's for the fruit?"

"Humph." Qiu Wuji said, "I used to think that here, if you are hungry, you have food, if you are thirsty, you have drinks, so it seems that fruit is not necessary. You can just eat it as a snack, and you don't need to buy it deliberately. Mengmeng explained to me a lot of benefits of fruit today, so I went to buy some."

Chu Ge laughed: "Is she surprised that you have such good skin even though you don't eat much fruit?"

"I told her that I've eaten more fruit than she's eaten rice." Qiu Wuji tried to save face and said, "But I think she misunderstood and thought that my skin was caused by eating fruit..."

Chugo fell down laughing.

Qiu Wuji hummed as he peeled an apple and casually asked about the previous topic: "How many countries are there in this world? I haven't checked."

Chu Ge said: "About 200 or so, I don't remember the exact number."

"More than 200?" Qiu Wuji's eyes widened: "The world in your book is bigger than this, right? And you wrote about nine countries?"

Chu Ge covered his face and said, "This is what a failed writer does. How many countries did you consider when you wrote your own stories?"

Qiu Wuji threw away the fruit knife and covered his face: "Two, fight each other."

The two people who covered their faces looked at each other through their fingers and burst out laughing.

Qiu Wuji said, "Okay, Master has written very well."

Chu Ge also said: "Master is feared by the world, and the same is true for several countries."

They both put down their hands that were covering their faces at the same time, looking very heroic and confident.

Qiu Wuji continued to peel the apple.

Chu Ge coughed dryly and said, "It doesn't make any sense that there are more than 200 countries in this world. To me and most people, there are only two: China and foreign countries."

Qiu Wuji asked: "Except me, everyone is an enemy?"

"It's a bit like that, although not that exaggerated, there are still allies..."

"Where is the one that Zhang Qiren is going to now?"

"They were once blood-feuding enemies. Yes, in the TV series you watched, they were the enemies. But now they have established diplomatic relations and there is a lot of exchanges."

Qiu Wuji understood the things between countries very well. He nodded slightly, but sneered: "So those are the ones on TV. If I was there at that time..."

Chu Ge tilted his head to look at her and suddenly said, "Hey, do you think you are a citizen of this country?"

Qiu Wuji was stunned for a moment, but asked him curiously: "Why am I not a citizen of this country? Do you want to see my ID card and household registration booklet?"

Chu Ge: “Emmmm…”

"Even if you are from this country according to the world in the book, the world you built based on your culture and concepts, and using the Taoist scriptures and myths and legends of this country, of course, belongs to the civilization of this country." Qiu Wuji said: "I watch some on-demand dramas, and the people don't look like us, and it's hard to remember their names. That's called being from a different world."

"I remember you once wanted to go to a war-torn area abroad."

"That's just to gain a foothold, not really interested." Qiu Wuji held his chin and thought for a while, then said: "I am a little interested. After all, it is part of understanding the world and understanding the customs of different places... When can we really go abroad?"

"I can't do this for now. At least I have to wait until I finish the book. By then, I will be relaxed and the epidemic will probably be over... Then I will have some money on hand, and we can travel around the world."

Qiu Wuji stretched out his finger and said, "It's a deal."

Looking at those green and white jade fingers, Chu Ge hesitated and did not hook them.

Qiu Wuji asked curiously: "What?"

"I feel like this thing is like a flag, stuffed with cattle and sheep or something, we don't make an appointment, we just go when we need to, what's the point of making an appointment."

"Pfft..." Qiu Wuji laughed so hard that he doubled over: "You guys are destroying superstitions while being more superstitious than anyone else."

Chu Ge was silent for a moment, and whispered: "I'm not superstitious... I just care about you too much."

Qiu Wuji's laughter stopped there. He looked at Chu Ge for a long time, and suddenly stuffed the apple in his hand into his mouth: "Eat the apple, don't think too much."
