Chapter 106 Chapter 106 By the time he realized he liked her, he had already...
Jiang Yuming caught the utility knife. Li Chengchuan liked black, so the utility knife was also black.
Black is low-key and makes people look steady. Li Chengchuan probably has never sat in so many colors in his life.
"Wow, Lao Li, you bought ten thousand copies, right?"
One Herasol square box after another covered the entire villa. Li Chengchuan placed them in the main residence of the Li family because the rented house could not accommodate them.
"It seems that you are determined to get the hidden funds of Helasuo. What wish do you want to make to Xing Kui?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I can't let others get the chance to make a wish. Besides, it was woven by Xing Kui herself."
He was opening the blind boxes. There were more than 10,000 boxes in the villa. Li Chengchuan didn't know the exact number. When he instructed Chen Quan to buy them at the end of last month, he told him to grab as many as he could.
Fearing others might mess with the goods, he unpacked them by himself from the moment he received them. "I need a helper."
Jiang Yuming sat down on the spot, along with Li Chengchuan, immersed in the sea of colorful things. "I could help you, but I imagine Liang Junhe and the others left the dressing room in a hurry tonight, and everyone probably bought a lot and rushed back to open it. You might not be able to buy anything."
"Just open it, why bother stabbing me?" Li Chengchuan looked over as a large hand tore open a box, his eyes sharp. "Can I really trust you, Jiang Yuming?"
Two people, one white and one black.
They seem to be in the same space, but are clearly separated by colorful paper boxes.
Jiang Yuming's appearance in the dressing room was too coincidental. Even if it could be explained, Li Chengchuan still felt uncomfortable. He called Jiang Yuming over to test him intentionally.
Click! Jiang Yuming pushed the blade of the utility knife aside and pretended not to understand. "Provocation, huh? Fine, I'll take it apart."
Li Chengchuan looked at him with scrutiny, but Jiang Yuming remained frank and even picked up a nearby cardboard box and started to open it. Could it be that he was really overthinking it?
Perhaps he really shouldn't have doubted his brother.
A sense of guilt floated in the heart of the trusting brother. Zhou Jing coveted his sweetheart, Xu Ye coveted his sweetheart, Liang Junhe coveted his sweetheart, but he couldn't let Jiang Yuming covet her as well.
Jiang Yuming only loves supermodels, only loves supermodels.
Li Chengchuan sighed: "Sorry."
Jiang Yuming said magnanimously: "Well, I forgive you."
He opened the box in his hand, and inside was a white Herazo wearing a blue skirt with small snowflakes sprinkled on the skirt. It was a winter version of Herazo with a four-season theme.
Luckily it's not a hidden model.
Jiang Yuming suppressed a smile, put it aside, and picked up a new box.
The hidden version is a sunflower potted plant, knitted stitch by stitch by Xing Kui herself. Even if it does not involve wishes, no brother would not want it.
Who knows, it might be in his hands. Jiang Yuming opened Li Chengchuan's boxes and thought, he also bought several thousand boxes, and Chen Ma and others in the old house were opening them.
The quantity is not as much as what Li Chengchuan bought, but drawing a blind box is like drawing a card, which depends a lot on luck. You may get nothing if you buy tens of thousands of boxes and draw tens of thousands of times. Even if you are lucky, you can win if you buy one box.
As far as he knew, Liang Junhe and Xu Ye also bought thousands of boxes, and both Liang and Xu's houses were opening them.
Only the situation on Zhou Jing's side is unclear.
Zhou Jing sat on the sofa with her eyelashes drooping, holding the Heraso blind box in one hand. It was a cube with a black background and various colorful paintings on all four sides.
He only bought one. In terms of financial resources, he was far inferior to Li Chengchuan, so it was more practical to leave the money to Xing Kuihua.
Xing Kui said that the hidden version had been sold, but the buyer did not post it online or contact her. It is really possible that it is in the hands of their brothers, but for various reasons, they have not opened it yet.
Who knows, maybe it's in the box he bought?
Zhou Jing stretched out his finger to tear it apart.
"Of course not!" Father Liang leaned back to the sofa, threw away the green petal Heraso doll in his hand, and turned his sore neck.
"Why are you spinning? Hurry up and take it apart." Liang Junhe urged, sitting in a pile of colorful dolls.
"What's with your bad temper? I'm your dad!"
"Heh." Liang Junhe looked down on his father. "Let me remind you, those who get the hidden money can make a wish to Xing Kui. You might even be able to make a wish to her to be your daughter-in-law. Do you want to lose to Uncle Jiang?"
Xing Kui definitely cannot agree to such a wish. Liang Junhe is just deliberately provoking his father.
Liang's father was stimulated, his shoulders opened, his back straightened, and he drew his sword and joined the battle.
I bought six thousand six hundred and sixty-six of them. Maybe the hidden model is hidden in the sixth thousand six hundred and sixty-sixth one!
"Six... we're just one short of the Seven-Color Flower series to complete it." Xie Chengwen was counting the dolls the servants had taken apart in the living room. "This one our Kui made is quite interesting."
The servant, who was on good terms with her, said with a smile, "Yes, my granddaughter bought one to hang on her schoolbag, and she loves it."
"Haha, if you like anything, just take it."
Xu Ye silently opened the cardboard boxes. Upon hearing this, he raised his handsome face and asked, "Jin Nuoyan, can we discuss a joint venture with her?"
Xie Chengwen glanced at her son, her eyebrows raised in a smile: "Okay! Mutual benefit."
Xu Ye smiled: "Thank you, Mom. Go and have a rest. I'll take care of this."
You can think about what wish to make later. Who would want to give up the opportunity to make a wish to Xing Kui to someone else, especially since she did it herself!
The Jiang family was also busy opening the blind boxes, while the young master of the Jiang family was reluctantly helping to open them at the Li family.
There are four seasons themes, seven-color flower themes, and he has collected one set after another, but there is no sign of the hidden model. Li Chengchuan pursed his lips tightly, and the air around him seemed to come from the Arctic. Jiang Yuming was radiant and stretched as if he was in spring.
"Uncle and aunt, have you not returned from your world tour yet?" Jiang Yuming was in a good mood and had to find Li Chengchuan, who was in a bad mood, to chat.
His voice was deep: "Well, they said they would come back when I got married."
Jiang Yuming seemed to be lost in thought. He took out the orange Heracle from the box and pressed a petal on it with his fingertips. "You didn't make the deal with Xing Kui because of this, did you?"
Li Chengchuan opened the blind box and said, "My parents said that they would give me the position on the board of directors after I got married. They thought that we each got what we needed."
In fact, Li Chengchuan's parents simply love to joke around, they are just two old naughty kids.
Jiang Yuming collected another set of seven-color flower themes, his eyes narrowed into slits with smiles: "Aha, Lao Li, good wine needs to be paired with delicious food. I'm opening the blind box, and you tell me the story of you and Xing Kui to make me laugh."
Li Chengchuan glared at him: "Are you using my story as a snack?"
Jiang Yuming smiled and said, "Is it not possible?"
Li Chengchuan asked coldly, "What do you think?"
After he finished speaking, he fell silent. He silently opened several blind boxes, his hair casting a gray-black shadow on the skin of his forehead. "It's meaningless. She doesn't remember. There are many things that she didn't know before she lost her memory."
Jiang Yuming raised an eyebrow. He let Li Chengchuan talk because he knew it was meaningless. If he had meaningful words, wouldn't it hurt him to hear them?
It’s meaningless, it hurts Li Chengchuan’s heart.
Before coming, Xing Kui specifically told Jiang Yuming not to bully Li Chengchuan too much, as Li Chengchuan was a nice person.
He is a very nice person.
Jiang Yuming pinched the black Heraso in his hand with his fingertips, picked up the utility knife, suppressed the strong desire to cut it into pieces, and fell on the other blind box to seal it.
Li Chengchuan was unaware of the dark jealousy from his best friend. He was swept away by the meaningless events of the past. His eyes, as dark as obsidian, were like pumice in a chaotic galaxy.
The night sky was dark. The day Li Chengchuan first met Xing Kui was a bright sunny day, in contrast to tonight. The location was not at the company, but at Jingjiang University.
He went to help his father find an old friend who worked at Jingjiang University. On the way, he passed by a small forest and heard a girl crying, "Mom, it's not that girls with high education have a hard time finding a partner, it's because boys are inferior."
She seemed to have been scolded.
"I want to pursue a master's degree and a doctorate, Mom."
"Do you really want me to give up?"
"good."
The female college student squatted in the corner, hugging her knees and crying. Li Chengchuan just glanced at her and walked away. At that time, he didn't understand Xing Kui's family background and thought it was stupid to give up postgraduate studies so easily.
However, it is even more foolish to simply judge a person's choices without fully understanding him or her.
Later he met her again.
"Professor, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind. I want to fly out as soon as possible."
The young girl emerged from the professor's office, grasped the corridor railing, and lifted her face to the sun to breathe in the fresh air.
Inexplicably, in Li Chengchuan's eyes, the sunlight seemed to be flowing on her.
He didn't understand how a person who was crying quietly against the wall just a dozen minutes ago could change so drastically in such a short time.
Out of curiosity, Li Chengchuan asked Professor Wu, and learned from the professor that she had not only given up on postgraduate studies, but also on the guaranteed admission to graduate school that she had already qualified for.
In the days that followed, when Li Chengchuan finished work or was drinking coffee, he would occasionally wonder what that girl had been through and what kind of mentality she had to say "she wanted to fly away as soon as possible."
But that would have been all, if Xing Kui hadn't submitted his resume to Dingtian.
Li Chengchuan then paid attention to her occasionally.
Occasionally thinking about it, occasionally paying attention to it, again and again "occasionally", made Li Chengchuan's life slowly enter the complete Xing Kui.
He got to know her better and better, and by the time he realized he liked her, he had already been secretly in love with her for several years.
Xing Kui only has a bachelor's degree, which is not qualified for Dingtian. Li Chengchuan can give her a backdoor, but she has the ability to do without relying on the backdoor.
She was promoted and came to be with him. According to the normal procedure, after she had accumulated a few years of experience, Li Chengchuan proposed to her to change the contract and join the commission system.
If their contract marriage had been successful, they might have had a completely different story.
But a car accident wiped out "them".
Li Chengchuan took out the yellow Heraso doll from the box. He didn't like bright colors, but the coffee cup on his office desk was yellow.
Because it belonged to Xing Kui, she did not come to clean up the workstation after she terminated her contract with Dingtian.
He packed it for her: a U-shaped nap pillow with an egg yolk, a pale yellow mouse pad with the words "I'd be surprised if I loved working part-time," and a corn-shaped stress-relieving squeezing toy...
All of this is now in his office. Li Chengchuan looked at the Heraso doll and smiled. "I'm going to see Xing Kui tonight. I originally wanted to ask her if she would consider a contract marriage with me."
In an instant, the smile on Jiang Yuming's lips froze.
"She forgot me. I used to worry that she might have forgotten me because she hated me. I wanted to win her favor, so I never mentioned the solution she had proposed to me.
Now that I think about it, maybe I was just looking for something far away instead of something near. On the other hand, Zhou Jing, Xu Ye, and Liang Junhe all failed in their relationships with her. Perhaps a fake marriage could offer her a new way out.
Jiang Yuming was a silver-tongued man, but at this moment he found it difficult to cope with the situation. A sentence echoed in his mind:
Li Chengchuan has also reached the next level.
"After Xing Kui learned of my feelings, she wasn't used to talking to me. I missed the chance to talk to her in the dressing room today. If I could buy the Helaso hidden edition, I could use it to talk to Xing Kui."
"Pfft." Jiang Yuming laughed, nodded, and gave a thumbs up, "Good idea."
Fortunately, Li Chengchuan was roundabout and had to find an opportunity to speak. If he had told Xing Kui in the dressing room, Xing Kui might have really considered replacing her.
After all, Li Chengchuan is more controllable than Jiang Yuming.
"I hope fate will favor me." Li Chengchuan, a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, also expressed such emotion when he opened the Helaso blind box.
Jiang Yuming secretly thought in his heart that fate would be cruel to him and favor the Jiang family, but he smiled and said, "Then I have to tear it down faster!"
He casually picked up a blind box at his feet.
At the same time, Zhou Jing, Liang Junhe, Xu Ye, and Jiang's Chen Ma were all dismantling.
The sharp utility knife was inserted into the gaps on the four sides of the box, cutting open the sealing sticker, and the lid was opened, revealing the sunflower potted plant that everyone had been longing for under the light.
Jiang Yuming took it carelessly and just as he was about to throw it aside, his hand stopped.
The touch is not like a plush toy, it is slightly prickly and has textures, like knitting.
He lowered his eyes and saw that the knitted sunflowers were cute and vivid in the light, with their golden petals spread out. Even the flowerpot was knitted, with a smiling face woven on the body of the pot.
Fate really favors Li Chengchuan.
Jiang Yuming suppressed the coldness that was about to spill out of the corners of his mouth, smiled seductively, and held up the sunflower pot: "Hey, Lao Li, is this it?"
Li Chengchuan froze, looked up in disbelief, and then jumped up. Because it was too sudden, he almost fell down due to dizziness.
He didn't even hold his head, but rushed over and grabbed the sunflower pot by the middle: "Hiss——"
Li Chengchuan spread out his palms, and Jiang Yuming was holding not only a potted plant, but also an open utility knife.
Blood flowed from Li Chengchuan's palm. Jiang Yuming cried out, "Ah!" and criticized, "You're too careless."
Was it really because of his carelessness? Li Chengchuan had no time to think about it, nor did he care about the pain. He was just afraid that the blood would stain the treasure made by Xing Kui.
Li Chengchuan took it with his other hand and held the sunflower tightly in his hand. A smile suddenly appeared in his ink-black eyes.
Jiang Yuming just wanted to stab the knife into his eyeballs.
"It's just a potted plant. Don't act like you've never seen anything good before. There are plants for sale everywhere."
Jiang Yuming used words as a knife, but Li Chengchuan was like a shield with a defense value of 10 million points around his body, and he could not hear any sound of dissatisfaction from him.
"It's just an ordinary item. Who would want it except you and Zhou Jing?"
Jiang Yuming's teeth were so sore that she wanted to go to the dentist. She suppressed her jealousy and looked at the treasure in Li Chengchuan's hand again and again.
Later, he would ask Xing Kui to knit him one too! Knit a hundred!
He stood up, pretending to be calm, and brushed off the non-existent dust on his coat. "Okay, remember to treat your wound. I'll be leaving first."
After walking a few steps, Jiang Yuming turned around and asked, "Aren't you going to see me off?"
Li Chengchuan stared at the potted plant, his usually cold eyes softened, and his lips unconsciously curled up a little.
Jiang Yuming's heart was twisted into a knot, but he suddenly curled his lips: "But you are right, getting married is really a good idea. I am looking forward to seeing the show."
Fate favors you, but people do not, my good brother.
The leaked photos have been arranged. I believe that tomorrow morning, Li Chengchuan will be able to see the official announcement of Xing Kui and Jiang Yuming's marriage.
