Chapter 99: Didn’t they say he was not capable?
Gu Chengfeng lay quietly on the side, his thoughts flying back to the past.
"That year, I was fourteen years old, and my neighbor's little sister, Bai Siyuan, was thirteen years old and had just started junior high school."
"At that time, a group of us girls and boys from the compound went to Jingshan Park to play together. We were pushing and shoving each other, and a gangster bumped into us."
"That little thug was from the Shichahai area. He wasn't that old, only fifteen or sixteen, and was just a small-time leader. He fell in love with Bai Siyuan at first sight and deliberately came after her, trying to force her to date him."
"Siyuan definitely didn't want to, so this guy took advantage of the crowd and made a move on Siyuan. How could I tolerate this? I went up and hit him with a club!"
As Gu Chengfeng spoke, his Beijing accent came out.
Shen Sisi knew that he had always been a loyal person, but she didn't expect that he was so fierce at the age of fourteen and would go through fire and water for his friends.
"I started the fight, and the kids from our compound followed closely behind. It was a huge fight. I remember there were seven or eight of us on our side, and nearly ten on their side. It was a fierce fight, and we were finally separated by the patrol."
"You know what happened next. We were both under 18, so the police couldn't do anything. They just gave us a warning and let us go back."
"My father was furious at the time and didn't listen to my explanation at all. He picked up a weapon and started beating me. In a fit of rage, he sent me to my aunt's house in Lin County."
Gu Chengfeng was clearly willing to risk his life for his friend, but somehow the rumor spread that he was jealous of Bai Siyuan.
Shen Sisi was also deeply saddened after hearing this. It was really terrible to spread rumors.
"So, there's really nothing going on between you and Bai Siyuan?" Shen Sisi asked.
Gu Chengfeng hummed nervously: "Really not!"
Before she knew it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she muttered, "That's good..."
Gu Chengfeng's hand quietly moved closer from under the quilt and hooked her little finger: "So... do you agree to hold the wedding?"
Shen Sisi hummed softly. Before Gu Chengfeng could say anything, she shyly burrowed into the quilt and said, "Sleep."
That night, she slept very soundly, and so did Gu Chengfeng, so much so that he woke up late.
When Shen Sisi woke up, Gu Chengfeng was still lying in bed.
She rolled over and accidentally touched something very strange. She shuddered with fear. This was...
After realizing what it was, Shen Sisi's face flushed red.
Didn’t Gu Chengfeng say that he was not capable? Did he lie to her?
Feeling something strange on his body, Gu Chengfeng woke up from his sleep.
"Awake?" His lazy voice revealed a hint of fatigue, teasing her without her realizing it.
Just as Shen Sisi was hesitating about how to start, Gu Chengfeng looked at the watch beside his pillow and said, "I'm going to be late!"
He jumped up quickly and got dressed: "Sisi, you sleep a little longer. I'll go over first."
Before leaving, Gu Chengfeng seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "The person who handles the formalities will come to your house later."
Shen Sisi nodded woodenly, still shrouded in great shock, unable to recover for a long time.
Looking at Gu Chengfeng's energetic back, did he really lie to her?
After Gu Chengfeng left, Shen Sisi stayed in bed for a while. Thinking that the person who was in charge of the formalities should be here soon, Shen Sisi got up and washed up.
Just after finishing breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me, is this Captain Gu's home?"
Shen Sisi hurriedly opened the door: "I'm coming~"
She opened the door and saw a thin and weak boy standing outside. He was not very old, but his eyes were bright and lively.
"Sister, my name is Jinshan. Captain Gu asked me to accompany you to handle the formalities. You must be Captain Gu's lover!" The young man was quite sweet-mouthed and very outgoing.
Shen Sisi nodded and invited him in for a cup of tea. He waved his hand and said, "Thank you, sister. Let's go and handle the formalities quickly. After we finish the formalities, I'll invite you to have tea."
He has a very cheerful personality and is a man who gets things done efficiently and does not care about details.
"Xiao Jin, I'm sorry for the delay. What do I need to prepare?"
Jinshan came prepared and made a list: "Just bring these documents and follow me."
Shen Sisi found that Jinshan was quite thoughtful.
"good!"
Shen Sisi took her ID and money and followed Jinshan out.
First go to Cotton Lane to find Old Zhang, and then go together to handle the procedures.
With Jinshan's familiar guidance, the procedures were completed in one morning. Shen Sisi held the business license and the land use certificate for the land, and it felt like a dream.
"Thank you, Xiao Jin, and thank you, old man!" Shen Sisi insisted on treating the two of them to a meal.
"Why don't we go eat mutton hotpot!" Shen Sisi suggested.
Jinshan didn't want to reject her kindness, so he volunteered and said that he knew a mutton restaurant where the meat was tender, fresh and affordable.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Shen Sisi put all the documents into her backpack and took a few people to a restaurant.
While eating the delicious and hot mutton hotpot, the conversation started to open up.
It turns out that Jinshan is also a miserable man. He has been neglected by his father and mother since he was a child. He has to go out to make a living very early. He is considered a know-it-all in Jiangcheng. If you have any questions, just ask him and you will know.
Moreover, he knew Cao Hua, Dong Xiaojiang, Wang Xiaodao and others, and even Cheng Biao had dealt with him.
Shen Sisi marveled at Jinshan's strength, but also felt sorry for his difficulties.
Jinshan is young, but he lives a very carefree life. He raised his glass and said, "Sister Sisi, what's the big deal? It's all in the past. As the saying goes, a light boat has sailed through thousands of mountains. There are no hurdles in life that cannot be overcome."
"My parents don't love me, so I love myself. I don't have a home, so I'll just build a small home for myself. What's the big deal..."
Shen Sisi admired his attitude, which was free and easy and sunny. She also raised her glass, but it was Beibingyang soda: "Jinshan, your attitude is really great. Many people nowadays are devastated by the slightest setback. Not many can let go quickly and move forward courageously like you."
Old Zhang also smiled and looked at the two of them: "With this kind of heart, you can achieve anything!"
"Oh, old man, I'm borrowing your good words!"
The three of them clinked glasses. Shen Sisi looked at the bubbles rising in the glass bottle and took a big gulp.
Jinshan drank the wine in the glass, then put it down, wiped the corner of his mouth, and his eyes showed an open-mindedness that came from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.
At this time, Old Zhang put down his cup and said seriously, "Comrade Shen, don't forget what you promised me. My old friends are all waiting for you to call them to work!"
Shen Sisi asked him where his old friends were and how to contact them.
Old Zhang mentioned a name: "Go find Old Li in Cotton Lane, he will make the connection for you."
When Jinshan heard about Old Li, he asked, "Is it the one with the big black mole on his face?"
Old Zhang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's him."
Jinshan slapped his thigh and said, "I know this person, Sister Sisi, I'll run errands for you!"
