Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Chosen Worker

The Nguyen Dynasty didn't want to care about him anymore.

I wanted to leave him here and leave quietly by myself.

But when he saw Gu Xingyan's bloody arm, his resentment instantly deflated like a balloon punctured by a needle.

He thought that Gu Xingyan was injured because of him, so it was normal for him to have a little temper, and it was not impossible for him to be patient for a while.

The wound is not particularly large, but it is very deep. After simple treatment, three tetanus vaccines are required.

Seeing the long needle inserted at the edge of the wound... and pushing the medicine into it bit by bit, Ruan Chao's face turned pale, as if he was the one being injected.

The scene was so frightening that Ruan Chao unconsciously covered Gu Xingyan's eyes.

Just like what the nurses often did to comfort him when he was sick as a child.

Feel the long eyelashes sliding slightly on the soft flesh of the palm, bringing a slight itchy sensation.

The Nguyen Dynasty realized later that Gu Xingyan was not a child and was not afraid of injections, nor did he think that a needle piercing his skin was a scary thing.

He wanted to withdraw his hand and cover his eyes.

The other person's palm pressed on the back of his hand.

His palms once again pressed firmly against Gu Xingyan's eyes.

As if sensing Ruan Chao's doubts, Gu Xingyan spoke:

"Don't take it away. I'm scared."

Ruan Chao: “……?”

Are you serious?

You said you were afraid in such a calm tone?

Why don't I see that you are scared at all?

Ruan Chao lowered his head and looked at Gu Xingyan for a few times, but he didn't see any unusual emotions on his face. But despite his doubts, he waited until all three shots of the vaccine were completed before removing his hand.

Gu Xingyan also emphasized: "There is so much blood, I dare not look at it." It was as if he was not the one who insisted on taking off his coat and even did not hesitate to add insult to injury.

Ruan Chao carefully glanced at the wound on his arm. What he saw was a blood-red patch, and several needle holes nearby were still oozing blood.

He felt dizzy and looked away quickly. "It's really a bit scary."

The doctor, who was arranging the bandages for the wound and listening to the whole process silently, said: "…"

So, am I just part of your play?

…

It was already very late when I came out of the clinic.

Ruan Chao received several calls, all from his mother asking him when he would be home.

Fearing that she would worry, Ruan Chao did not tell her the truth. He just said that he was playing with his classmates and would go back when he had enough fun.

"Then give the phone to your classmate and let mom talk to him."

Ruan Chao glanced at Gu Xingyan and said half-seriously, "...This is not good. He is very shy and talking on the phone with strangers will make him very stressed."

"Mom is just talking to him. She won't do anything to him, and she won't eat him." Ruan's mother's tone was as gentle as ever. "Mom will be gentle and won't scare him."

Ruan Chao: “…Okay.”

Ruan Chao could feel his mother's love and doting on him. In front of such an elder, he was too embarrassed to refuse again and again, so he could only hand the phone to Gu Xingyan.

“It’s my mother.”

He winked at Gu Xingyan, signaling him to be careful, not to talk nonsense, and not to reveal the fact that they had just been chased by a group of thugs.

Gu Xingyan took the phone.

Ruan Chao originally thought that due to Gu Xingyan's taciturn personality, they would be in a state of silence after just a few words, but he did not expect that the first sentence Gu Xingyan said after answering the phone was to call her "Auntie" in a very cheerful tone with a slightly raised voice.

"Um, yes, we are now on the street."

…

"What are your plans for the future?" Gu Xingyan paused. "That depends on Chaochao. See if he wants to continue playing."

…

"Well, I will be careful not to let him touch dangerous things, not let him eat junk food, not let him drink alcohol..."

Ruan Chao felt a little embarrassed, thinking that his mother treated him like a child and had to specifically instruct Gu Xingyan on such matters... His glorious image was gone forever, and he was inexplicably inferior to Gu Xingyan.

…

"Don't worry, I will get him home safely."

Who wants you to take me there? Didi taxi is so convenient now. I can just call a car and leave now.

…

"Okay, I'll go visit her when I have time. Auntie's cooking skills must be very good. I'm in for a treat."

You still want to come to my house for dinner? Dream on.

…

Whatever Gu Xingyan said to his mother, Ruan Chao would complain in his heart.

His legs were a little sore from standing so long that Gu Xingyan ended the call.

He could hear his mother on the other end of the phone, who was very happy with Gu Xingyan's coaxing and laughed several times.

"So you are so good at talking..." You are better at talking than me.

Ruan Chao unhappily kicked a stone on the side of the road and kicked it far away, "How boring."

Gu Xingyan couldn't understand why Ruan Chao was angry again for no reason.

But past experience told him that it was best not to speak or make any noise, otherwise the Nguyen Dynasty would only get angrier and angrier.

The two of them stood on the side of the road, staring at each other, playing the game of one, two, three, wooden man for five minutes.

Nguyen Chao blinked his sour eyes and was the first to withdraw from the battle.

He opened the app on his phone and started calling a taxi.

"Where do you live?"

Gu Xingyan gave him a puzzled look.

Nguyen Chao raised his voice: "You don't really think I need a wounded person to take me home? Take care of yourself. I don't need you to take care of me."

Gu Xingyan: "But I have already promised my aunt..."

Ruan Chao interrupted him, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?"

"Okay, stop wasting time and tell me your home address."

Gu Xingyan: "I have a part-time job later, so I can't go home now."

"...Ah?" Ruan Chao thought he had misheard. "Are you serious?"

Gu Xingyan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Nguyen Dynasty had nothing to say.

It was the first time for him to see someone who valued money over his life in real life.

Even with such a large cut on his arm, he still had to rush to work.

"I'm really impressed... How much can you get for a part-time job for one night? One hundred? Two hundred?"

He swiped the screen and came to the transfer interface.

Directly transferred one thousand yuan to Gu Xingyan.

"Is this enough? This is your reward for blocking the broken glass and rotten wood for me."

Seeing Gu Xingyan's somewhat ugly expression, Ruan Chao thought he was worried that after taking the money, he would be tricked into signing an unequal treaty as before, so he continued to speak considerately.

"Don't worry, I'm giving you this money voluntarily. I won't use this opportunity to extend our contract, nor will I let you do anything illegal or criminal."

Gu Xingyan: “I don’t want it.”

Ruan Chao: “…No, don’t do it.”

The transfer interface shows that the money has been refunded.

Ruan Chao passed it back to him, "I command you to do it."

Gu Xingyan's voice was a little cold: "This is outside the school. I can disobey you."

Ruan Chao: “…”

The puppy that was finally well-behaved actually learned to bite its owner.

One transfer, one refund.

The farce ended only when the Nguyen Dynasty was restricted in the number of times it could transfer money, making it impossible to do so.

Because of Gu Xingyan's assurance, his mother no longer called him every half an hour as she did before.

Ruan Chao didn't really want to go home and sleep.

He planned to go with Gu Xingyan to find out what kind of part-time job attracted him so much that he was determined to go to work even if he was injured.

He is truly a chosen worker.

The capitalists would be delighted if they knew this.

…

Ruan Chao followed Gu Xingyan through several streets before finding where he worked.

It is a large internet cafe.

The flashing neon lights can be seen from a long distance.

"Are you a network administrator here?"

“Not really.”

As for what specific job he did, the Nguyen Dynasty soon found out.

Gu Xingyan put on the uniform required for work, which was a white shirt with a light gray jacket on the outside.

He pulled all his hair up, revealing his striking face completely.

Gu Xingyan's facial features are impeccable and without the obstruction of bangs, he reaches a new level of handsomeness.

Just a simple change in hairstyle made his whole temperament different and full of aggression.

Ruan Chao was holding a cup of milk tea, watching in a daze.

"you……"

"What's wrong?"

It has become so strange and so different.

It seems...she looks pretty good dressed like this.

Ruan Chao blinked and swallowed back the compliments he was about to give him, fearing that he would become proud.

Gu Xingyan helped him turn on a computer and gave him some candy, chocolate and other snacks.

"You can play games or watch movies here. Tell me when you want to go home."

Ruan Chao: "... Then what time do you get off work?"

"Three o'clock in the morning."

Ruan Chao frowned: "...It's so late." It was three o'clock and he could have slept three times.

Gu Xingyan: "Then I'll take you back now?"

Ruan Chao: “I don’t want it.” He returned the same words to him without changing anything.

Gu Xingyan was somewhat helpless, and he couldn't do anything about him. He could only keep an eye on him.

The Nguyen Dynasty was located closest to Gu Xingyan, and they could see each other with just a slight glance.

Gu Xingyan was sitting at the front bar, with several baseball bats and iron bars standing beside him.

Nguyen Chao stood up and looked back.

I saw several young people with colorfully dyed hair, wearing headphones and typing away on their keyboards.

Nguyen Chao roughly understood the nature of Gu Xingyan's work.

In places like Internet cafes where people from all walks of life gather, conflicts are indeed easy to occur, and security guards are needed to maintain order.

Ruan Chao opened a chocolate, but thought that it was not easy for Gu Xingyan to make money, so he put it back silently.

Marshal Gu Xingyan is very objective.

For Internet cafes, his existence is an alternative signboard.

It attracts many people who only look at handsome guys.

Ruan Chao stayed here for an hour. There was no conflict in the Internet cafe. There were many girls who asked Gu Xingyan to help them get milk tea, instant noodles, and repair their computers...

Nguyen Chao opened and ate all the chocolates.

I don't think it's necessary to save money for Gu Xingyan.

He made the money much easier than he thought.

…

At one o'clock in the morning, Nguyen Chao had finished watching a movie.

He rubbed his dry eyes and felt a little sleepy.

But he had never stayed up late before, so he was reluctant to go home.

He lay down on the seat, intending to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he fell asleep without knowing when, and did not even notice that Gu Xingyan walked up to him.
