Chapter 13: The Strange Man
Sunlight streamed into the house through the window. The sewing machine was working non-stop. Su Yin touched the clothes, sewed the sleeves, leaned back, and moved her stiff neck left and right.
“Ha~”
Yawning repeatedly and looking out the window tiredly, Su Yin rubbed his sore eyes, picked up his clothes and checked them again. The nearest plastic model was still wearing straight pants.
He stood up and put the clothes on the model, took a few steps back to look at it, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally done and he was just in time to hand it to the customer.
Su Yin took a photo for the customer, agreed on the delivery address, and called for local express delivery. He walked out of the studio, touching his neck.
After a busy night catching up on work, you still need to eat breakfast, otherwise your metabolism will slow down.
I haven't exercised for a long time, and I've gained two kilograms in weight after exercising these days. Su Yin got off the scale and stared at the number 162 with worry.
He was 5'88" tall, almost the same height as his weight. He used to weigh around 140 kg, with a very low body fat percentage. But yesterday, I went to the gym and took a test, and it turned out to be 19%. That's horrible.
It’s a long way from the 10% it once was.
After he had a quick breakfast, the courier came to take his clothes. He took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He touched his disappeared shark muscles and could only say that his stomach was much tighter now, which was a bit comforting.
"After a good sleep, it's time to make lunch for Xue'er." Su Yin muttered to himself while lying on the bed, opening and closing his eyes.
He vaguely heard a lot of strange noises in his sleep. He didn't know who it was, but they seemed to be accusing him.
On the way to the studio carrying the thermos box, Su Yin thought it would be a good idea to bring some coffee to treat the studio employees to help restore his image.
Passing by a coffee shop, he stopped his bike and walked in. As he opened the door, he bumped into a man wearing sunglasses. "Sorry." He turned sideways and tried to leave.
"Su Yin?"
A voice with a hint of watching the show sounded, and Su Yin looked at him, "Do you know me?"
The man snatched his thermos box and said, "I didn't expect that you would lick more intensely now and start cooking? I'm sorry, you..." Before he could finish his words, the thermos box was snatched away.
Su Yin looked serious and said, "Sir, stealing is illegal." You are sick.
He was afraid that time was running out and didn't want to pay attention to him. He turned around to leave but was pushed again. "Are you sick?!" This time he didn't care about politeness anymore. "Do I know you?! You just grab and push me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Tsk." The man scoffed. "Why are you pretending? Everyone knows that you, Su Yin, are the biggest bootlicker in the circle. He Nan won't be interested in you. You're such a loser, poor and needy, you don't have anything. It's no use pretending to be virtuous and learning to cook." He patted his cheek as he spoke. "I'm ashamed of you."
Su Yin's expression changed slightly after he said the word 'licker', from anger to sneer, looking at the man like a clown. "Are you done? You don't like He Nan, but you can't compete with Jiang Zhi, so you have no choice but to come to me to vent your anger, right?"
He doesn't have any circle. Apart from his teachers and friends in the design industry, the only one who can be called a circle is Jiangzhi. Jiang's is one of the best companies in Dongcheng.
The man was furious after his secret was exposed. He took a step forward and tried to grab Su Yin. Su Yin turned around and asked, "What? Did your defense break?"
"He's nothing, but damn, if it weren't for Mr. Jiang, he'd just be a minion. I could crush him to death with just one finger."
Su Yin admitted that he never had a good temper. The corners of his mouth curved up in sarcasm, but there was no smile in his eyes. "So you admit that you like He Nan, and that's why you broke down?"
When arguing with someone, the way to win is very simple. Don’t talk about me, just talk about you.
No matter what the other person says, just ask back.
"You!" The man pointed at him and couldn't utter a complete sentence for several seconds. He had never seen him so eloquent before. He could cause Su Yin and Jiang Zhi to quarrel with just a few words, adding to the jokes in the circle.
Today's provocation was unsuccessful.
Su Yin glanced at the time and was too lazy to argue with him, so he turned around and went to the bar to order coffee. Unexpectedly, the man followed him and kicked his thermos box away. The lunch box fell to the ground and turned twice, and the lid fell off and spilled out.
"Hahahaha~ Let me see what you are going to give He Nan to eat." The man laughed triumphantly. The guests around him looked over. The waiter came forward and accused them of dirtying the floor. He casually took out cash and said, "I made it dirty, so one thousand yuan is enough." He threw the money at the cleaning waiter.
"I'm sorry." Su Yin felt very embarrassed and apologized to the waiter. However, seeing the man's reaction, he walked over and grabbed his clothes without warning, pushing him to the ground. "You dare to call yourself my father? Eat these things for me! I'll reward you today."
"You...Su...Su...ah..." The man's face was pressed on the food. The nausea that hit him made him struggle desperately. However, the hand pressing on his neck was too strong. In the end, he could only use his hands and feet to push Su Yin away.
The guests, including the waiter, were stunned for a moment, then stood by and watched silently.
Su Yin made sweet and sour fish and medicinal soup today. The sour, sweet and medicinal flavors spread in the coffee. The man wiped his face in bad luck. His palms and clothes were all stained with fish and soup. He looked very embarrassed. He punched Su Yin, but stepped on the soup and fell again.
"Tsk." Su Yin imitated his tone and squeaked in front of him with a gloating look, "Isn't this a bit too much of a gift?" From the moment he met the man, he guessed from his clothes that the man must be a rich man. No matter what his family background was, he would be the one to handle the matter if it was reported to the police today.
"Su! Yin!" The man stood up even more embarrassedly, pointing at Su Yin with trembling fingers for a while before running away in a hurry.
After the farce ended, Su Yin said to the waiter, "I'm sorry. I've caused you so much trouble." He didn't have much money on him, so he thought he could hire a cleaner for 200 yuan. "These 200 yuan are my apology."
"No need, sir. You didn't mean to do that. This is also within our service scope." The waiter said and then carefully cleaned the floor.
Su Yin awkwardly picked up the thermal box and went to the bathroom to wash it briefly. No lunch today. So annoying.
On the way to the studio after buying coffee, he kept thinking about who that man was. Liking He Nan was one thing, but perhaps the deeper reason was that he hated Jiang Zhi.
'He' was the one who caused Jiang Zhi to break up. Although he felt that Jiang Zhi was pretentious and that they would have to break up sooner or later whether someone interfered or not, it was still 'his' fault anyway.
I can't help Jiang Zhi in any way, but letting Jiang Zhi know that there are still people coveting He Nan can also be considered a good deed, right?
It was a rare day that he didn't bother Pei Weixue. He held the pen for a long time without drawing a single stroke, then took out his cell phone to call Jiang Zhi.
"what!"
Jiang Zhi actually released him from the blacklist. That was great. Su Yin said happily, "Zhi Ya, I met a man who likes He Nan today..."
Pei Weixue, who was checking the code correction system at her desk, stopped typing after hearing this and looked at Su Yin. Seeing the empty coffee cup beside her, she crushed it and threw it into the trash can.
Liar. I didn't bring him lunch today because I went to find He Nan! She said she cooked for him every day, but she didn't have a midnight snack yesterday.
"Oh. Xue'er." Su Yin covered the microphone and looked at Pei Weixue. Pei Weixue had already looked away and looked at the computer before he looked over. He said, "I didn't go to look for He Nan. Today, when I was buying coffee, I met one of his suitors who threw away the lunch I made for you. I got into a fight with him, and you don't know how miserable I was. The lunch..."
As Pei Weixue listened, he lowered his head to look at the coffee cup in the trash can...a smile appeared in his eyes that he didn't even notice, and he continued to look at the computer as if nothing had happened.
"If you don't tell me, I'll hang up. I don't have time to listen to your displays of affection." Jiang Zhi's voice interrupted him from the other end of the phone. He gave Pei Weixue a bitter smile before continuing, "Zhiya, if you don't hurry up, you'll be chased away."
"Heh... who are you talking about?" Jiang Zhi's voice was hazy, and it was obvious that he was still lying in the comfortable bed. Su Yin felt envious and jealous. He didn't even dare to sleep too deeply now for fear of being chased by debt collectors. "What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhi said hoarsely, "There are so many people who like him. Who are you talking about?"
Su Yin: “?” So charming?
Su Yin: "Our Young Master Jiang is very powerful. He was able to catch up with him. So you have to seize the opportunity."
"I have no confidence!" Jiang Zhi cursed, "Didn't I tell you, if your Pei Weixue hadn't come to beg me, I wouldn't have chased him. He thinks I'm using him as a substitute, so whether you believe me or not, there's no need."
"......" Su Yin thought to himself, "Do you two have poor mouth development?"
Jiang Zhi sat up, threw back the quilt, and said angrily: "You are the one who has not developed well! I am very strong!"
He couldn't understand what people were saying again. Su Yin suspected that his ears were not well developed. "Whether you are strong or not has nothing to do with me. I just want to say that if there is a misunderstanding, just explain it to him face to face. If he doesn't listen, then just stay there. Tell me the truth, do you still like him?"
Pei Weixue heard a lot of gossip and looked at Su Yin strangely.
Jiang Zhi snorted.
"Don't whine. Also, did you make an enemy? Or a competitor of your company? That man has big eyes, do you remember him?"
Jiang Zhi was speechless: "Yes. It's you!"
Su Yin: “…”
Su Yin: "Don't make trouble."
"Am I making a fuss? There are seven or eight people who like He Nan, including you, I know. You have the biggest eyes!" Jiang Zhi cursed, his voice a little unclear, and there was the sound of water in the background. He must be brushing his teeth.
Su Yin: "..." He touched his eyes, "Anyway, think about it yourself, are there any of those people who really hate you? Also, do you like He Nan or not?"
Jiang Zhi spit out the foam and said, "Don't worry about it. It's okay, I'm hanging up."
Beep beep beep.
The quick hang-up sound rang out. Su Yin took the phone away, sighed helplessly, and turned to complain to Pei Weixue, "Do you think he is just pretending? Will he die if he tells the truth? He and I are childhood friends."
Pei Weixue didn't give him face, "It's precisely because you are his childhood friend that He Nan believes what you say."
Su Yin was silent.
It feels like he is living as an NPC in a melodramatic world.
"Xue'er." He walked to the desk, "I will never believe anyone's slander against you. If someone says bad things about you in front of me, I will just beat him up." He also clenched his fist to show his determination.
Pei Weixue: "You said yourself that I was cheap."
