Chu Zhi also swallowed the noodles and the fried egg with great difficulty, and then took a taxi back to the villa area.
"Good evening, Mr. Chu," greeted the security guard at the villa area.
He smiled and nodded: "Good evening."
Upon entering the villa area, he strolled leisurely along the street with his hands in his pockets.
The streetlights cast his shadow long.
We arrived at a hillside.
Suddenly...
Exclamations came from ahead.
A woman was seen speeding down a hill on a skateboard, her body swaying precariously, her face filled with terror, clearly unaccustomed to such rapid movement.
Just as the woman was about to fall, Chu Zhi immediately grabbed her, rolled her around a few times, and dissipated the force.
Several men and women ran over quickly: "Are you alright?"
"You've only just learned to skateboard and you're already sliding down the slope? You're too daring."
"Luckily, Brother Chu was there just now, otherwise you would definitely have broken your bones."
The group of men and women said to Chu Zhiye, "Thank you so much, Brother Chu."
"If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened."
"Exactly, we're bound to get yelled at."
Chu Zhi also stood up and dusted himself off: "Don't skateboard here, you might hurt the neighbors."
"Okay, I understand." The group nodded obediently.
Chu Zhi didn't say much and left.
As the group of men and women watched Chu Zhiye's retreating figure, one of them scratched his face and said, "Brother Chu is only two or three years older than us, but for some reason, I always feel like I'm facing my dad when I'm with Brother Chu."
"That's what you call momentum!"
"What kind of aura?"
"A domineering aura!" someone explained, "That kind of arrogant, fearless, and intimidating aura that makes everyone else look like trash, second only to the emperor."
... ...
Over the next few days, Chu Zhi also searched for a house.
It needs to be adjacent to Shanghai's financial and business district, yet it also needs to have that vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere he desires. Meeting these two conditions is actually quite contradictory.
He searched the surrounding area but couldn't find another Limin Lane residential area.
Chu Zhi also decided to expand her search, looking for a house as close as possible to the financial and business district of Shanghai, but with a lively atmosphere.
He strolled slowly along the street, and when he saw a house he liked, he asked the security guard in the community if there were any houses for rent.
On this day, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a sudden downpour began.
Chu Zhi, who hadn't brought an umbrella, had no choice but to take shelter under an umbrella pavilion and wait for the downpour to stop.
He sat in a corner at the edge of the pavilion, looked up at the sky.
Several young men sat next to us, speaking in hushed tones:
"Hey, that girl has her head down and her shoulders are shaking, what is she doing?"
"It looks like she's crying."
"Could it be that the girl broke up with her boyfriend and is crying in the storm?"
"That girl has a great figure, she's my type, no way, I have to go save her."
"This isn't salvation; it's taking advantage of someone's vulnerability. You're comforting them while they're heartbroken to achieve your ulterior motives," someone saw right through his scheme.
The voices of several men pulled Chu Zhi back to reality, and he looked in the direction of their voices.
He raised an eyebrow.
Whether it's fate or origin, it all seems quite mysterious.
Just by looking at her back, Chu Zhiye immediately recognized the girl who seemed to be crying as Xu Nvzi.
He was somewhat surprised.
The two met twice, once at the airport and once in the Limin Lane residential area. Xu gave him the impression of having a strong and independent personality, like a domineering female CEO.
On their third meeting, Ms. Xu appeared to be... crying.
The young men next door noticed the change in Chu Zhiye's eyes. One of them patted Chu Zhiye's arm and said, "Hey bro, I saw it first. We should follow the order of arrival. I'll go first. If I don't succeed, then you can go."
Chu Zhiye: "Huh?"
"What do you mean 'ah'? It's settled then!" The man snapped his fingers and said rather smugly, "Sorry, my nickname is Casanova."
Then they saw the man walk towards Ms. Xu, sit down next to her, and not say anything.
Ms. Xu shouted, "Get out!"
The man's lips twitched, and he returned dejectedly.
Several companions were all smiles:
"Hahaha, you messed it up."
"A Casanova? A critic of Casanovas!"
“Watch me!” Another man stood up, waved, and said, “Wait for my triumphant return.”
He immediately went towards Ms. Xu, only to be met with another angry "Get out!"
Then the group of men stepped forward one by one, trying to take advantage of the situation, but none of them succeeded; they all told them to "get lost."
Without exception.
The men looked at each other in bewilderment:
"What happened?"
"With our good looks, how could anyone resist us?"
"That girl is definitely gay."
"Yes, it is."
One of the boys nudged Chu Zhiye's arm: "Bro, we've already warned you, so don't go. Don't go looking for trouble."
Chu Zhiye replied with a smile, "I don't plan to go."
"Tch~~~" Several boys instantly cast disdainful glances at him.
Just then, the woman surnamed Xu, who was crying with her head down, suddenly spoke up: "Beggar, come here."
One man was pleasantly surprised: "Great, my nickname is Beggar."
Just as I was about to step forward, I was met with another shout of "Get lost!"
The men exchanged puzzled glances.
Who exactly is this so-called beggar?
Immediately, the group saw Chu Zhi also get up and walk to the woman's side, whereupon they witnessed a breathtaking scene.
The woman actually snuggled into Chu Zhiye's arms and then burst into tears, her sobs sounding like heavy thunder in the sky.
In an instant, the young men felt as if they were being pierced by a thousand arrows.
On what grounds?!
What's wrong with us brothers?
At this moment, not only was Ms. Xu heartbroken inside the umbrella pavilion, but several young men's hearts were also broken.
The young men exchanged glances, then rushed out of the umbrella pavilion and left into the downpour.
They don't want to stay here.
Even torrential rain couldn't stop it.
At that moment, only three words echoed in their minds: "Men and women!"
