Chapter 39 What Are You Hiding From
The word "也" is used very cleverly.
The man had a bag on his shoulder and gloves on his hands, and it was obvious that he was fully prepared.
After saying that, without waiting for Yu Chucheng to answer, he began to open the cabinets one by one from top to bottom with great professionalism, without saying a word the whole time, with only love and concentration on his work in his eyes.
Yu Chucheng silently put away the test paper.
He knew that today couldn't possibly go so smoothly.
Seeing the man taking out a wallet from a girl's locker, Yu Chucheng didn't even have time to put down his work badge, and rushed over to snatch the wallet away.
"Give it back to me! We each have our own abilities and can find our own jobs. Why are you trying to steal my sales performance?!" The man lowered his voice, glared at Yu Chucheng fiercely, and was about to reach out to snatch the wallet back.
Yu Chucheng naturally would not let him succeed, so he nimbly dodged the man's hand that was trying to grab him.
Yu Chucheng weighed the wallet and snorted, "You think too much. I'm not a thief. Forget about the wallet today. You can't take anything away from here."
The man didn't take it seriously. "You covered it more tightly than I did. Who would believe you if you said you weren't a thief? If you really want the wallet, I'll give it to you. I don't need that much anyway."
Yu Chucheng: “…”
Judging from the degree of coverage on his face, he does look more like a thief.
The man continued to rummage through the cabinets below, his movements quick and rough. He didn't care whether the items were valuable or not, he would just put them into his bag if he liked them.
Yu Chucheng walked straight forward. Since the man didn't believe him, he didn't bother to talk any more. He simply slammed the cabinet in front of the man and said, "Put everything you just took out of your bag back, or don't blame me for being rude."
He would never let the thief take anything. There was a sense of bravery in this, but also a bit of selfishness.
If an employee finds that something is missing after get off work today, the boss will definitely check today's surveillance footage and will find that he sneaked into the employee lounge, which will then be difficult to explain.
Yu Chucheng didn't want everyone to know that he was like a celebrity's illegitimate fan who secretly opened Duan Huaijin's locker just to collect some pheromones.
The man glanced at the door of the lounge nervously and clutched his bag tightly. "Don't even think about it."
The man did not dare to make a scene. Seeing that he could not find anything in the cabinets behind him, he decided to quit and turned around to run away.
Yu Chucheng quickly grabbed the man's bag and said in a low voice, "You can leave, but you have to leave your things behind!"
The man swung his arms vigorously, trying to pull the bag back from Yu Chucheng in a rage, "Fuck you! I only took a few, why are you so protective of the food! I'm telling you, if the clerk comes over, neither of us will be able to escape!"
Yu Chucheng: "If you can't run, then you can't run. If you are so scared, just let go. Otherwise, believe it or not, I will call for help!"
Both of them pinched their throats and threatened each other in a low voice, neither of them wanted to be discovered by outsiders.
The two men were in a stalemate, and finally the man was the first to beg for mercy. He had been in jail twice for stealing, and he didn't want to go through it a third time.
"Here you go! You are so young, why don't you do something else? Why do you have to steal jobs from people like us who are in our 40s and 50s?"
Yu Chucheng did not let go, but signaled the man with his eyes to return the item to its original owner.
"It's so unlucky. I'm so unlucky to run into you."
The man cursed softly, and under Yu Chucheng's supervision, he took out the things in the bag one by one and threw them back into the cabinet.
"Bah! You will never get rich if you eat alone."
After putting all the things back, the man lowered his head to open the door of the lounge, still muttering curse words.
A low and cold voice sounded.
“Who eats alone?”
The man's body trembled and he almost bumped into the person standing at the door.
Duan Huaijin glared at him coldly, watching the cold sweat suddenly appear on the man's forehead, then raised his eyes and looked at Yu Chucheng in the room.
Yu Chucheng felt a sudden heat on his back and his mind went blank.
Why is Duan Huaijin here? Didn't he say he was on duty today?
He hurriedly threw the work ID in his hand back and slammed the cabinet door shut.
Seeing that he was already exposed, the man simply dragged Yu Chucheng into the water. He pointed at Yu Chucheng and shouted, "That's him! He wanted to steal something!"
Yu Chucheng: “You——!”
Duan Huaijin was carrying a bag as he walked in. The thief seized the opportunity, bent down, and slipped out through the gap.
Before running away, the man did not forget to look back at Yu Chucheng triumphantly.
That expression seemed to be saying with gloating: You deserve it for eating alone!
“Click.”
The moment the door closed, the noise outside was blocked out.
Yu Chucheng lowered his head in embarrassment and raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat.
He almost blocked his entire face, and it was unclear whether Duan Huaijin recognized him.
Yu Chucheng actually hoped that Duan Huaijin didn’t recognize him. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He made up an excuse, “Sorry, I went to the wrong room.”
Duan Huaijin raised his eyebrows, "It's written on the door that this is the staff lounge."
"Oh, really? I didn't see it. My eyesight isn't very good." Yu Chucheng habitually raised his hand to touch his nose, but the action was too obvious. He forcibly suppressed the impulse and looked towards the door with flickering eyes.
He was measuring the distance between himself and the gate.
Duan Huaijin stared at the familiar eyes behind the light brown sunglasses, his voice calm and emotionless, "But that person said you stole something, you can't leave until I confirm it."
After a few seconds of silence, Yu Chucheng explained, half unwillingly and half guilty, "He framed me."
"Yeah?"
Duan Huaijin took a few steps closer, and Yu Chucheng felt like he was shrouded in a shadow.
Yu Chucheng raised his head uneasily, and when he met Duan Huaijin's deep eyes, his gaze suddenly froze, as if time had stopped at this moment. He forgot to move, and all his thoughts came to a halt.
It felt like someone had sprinkled a handful of beads on his chest. Yu Chucheng looked away in panic and confusion, "Yes..."
The temperature here suddenly became hot, making people feel hot from the ears and back.
At this moment, the test paper that Yu Chucheng had originally placed in his pocket somehow fell out, and it floated to the ground under the gaze of two pairs of eyes.
Yu Chucheng's head buzzed, and he squatted down almost instantly to pick up the test paper, "I'll go out now!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Duan Huaijin's expression and rushed towards the door without even raising his head.
But before he could move his legs, the back of his clothes seemed to be caught by something. Yu Chucheng lost his balance and leaned backwards, taking several steps back before he could stabilize himself.
"Let me go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chucheng felt his eyes brighten, his sunglasses were pushed up to his forehead, and his hat fell to the ground along the back of his head.
The light from the incandescent lamp in the room was so blinding that he had to squint. Before he could even see everything in front of him, he heard Duan Huaijin's half-smiley voice.
"Yu Chucheng, why are you hiding?"
