Chapter 29: Messy Relationships Between Men and Women "Oh, I don't care about you..."
.
The childish behavior ended with a giant sneeze. Chi Leyou's nose wrinkled like a Shar Pei's. No one likes to sneeze in front of the opposite sex. But the only handkerchief was lent to Chen Che by the kindhearted Chi Dashan to wipe his mouth.
“Do you have any tissues?”
Chen Che was confused. Where did this grown man get the tissue?
"Don't you have any in your car...?" Chi Leyou felt something was wrong as the sour smell of farm animals surged into his nose. He curled his knuckles and blocked his nose and mouth.
Chen Che searched his pockets. There was nothing.
The peak of the flood is about to reach the flood control levee.
Embarrassment washed over her, and she prepared to hop on her bike and disappear like a rocket.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. There is not even a homeless person on the street. Where can I find paper for her?
In a hurry, the big man pulled off his tie and handed it to her.
"Wipe here."
The girl looked hesitant and paused for a second.
Chen Che: "Don't worry..." Psychological burden.
Before he could utter any words of comfort, her claws, without hesitation—yes, with the posture of a bandit bully—she snatched his tie and pressed it against his nose and mouth.
The world hits the mute button.
"You're really rude." He twitched his lips.
"Saving a life is a good deed." The little thief said smoothly.
The tie crumpled in her hands, and the originally sword-like angles were now covered with deep folds.
The survivor calmed down now. She shook out her tie, revealing delicate silver lines that looked like the navigation path of Starlink in the night sky.
"Tsk, looking at your big snot?" Chen Che sneered, "Aren't you disgusting?"
How is this any different than a murderer returning to the crime scene to admire his crime traces?
Chi Leyou choked, the words to curse him stuck in her throat. How could she curse Shen, the great benefactor who saved her from danger?
She rolled up her tie angrily and quickly stuffed it into her messenger bag. "What brand is your tie?"
"You want compensation?" He stood beside her with a shy look on his face, his fingers restless, sometimes removing burrs from the wicker frame, sometimes pressing the brakes.
Just like a picky buyer at a used car delivery site.
Chi Leyou nodded honestly.
Chen Che took out his handkerchief and shook it. Moonlight shone on the dark green embroidery, making the pine trees appear more vibrant. A clear voice leaped out with his breath: "You lend me a bib, and I give you a snot tissue. It's a back-and-forth. Can I ask you for compensation?"
The treaty was not very equal, and no matter how you looked at it, Shen Che was at a disadvantage.
"It's expensive... right?" She was concerned about his tie.
This girl's reaction arc was too long. Shen Che laughed angrily: "Are you scared now?"
Just change your name to Chi Songsong.
"Then I'll give you Meow Meow to play with." She sniffed.
Shen Che was about to say "OK" when he heard the additional terms she handed over: "For now."
The tone was reluctant and twisted.
"How long can you lend it to me?" He took out the lamb from his pocket, handed it up and stuffed it into his chest pocket. The lamb's misty eyes stared at Chi Leyou in a daze.
Chi Leyou's eyes strayed from its direction, deliberately avoiding looking at it: "One month?"
"Two months." Mr. Chen, the first party, suddenly opened his mouth. "I'll do it on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday? You'll do it on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday? On Sunday, he can choose freely."
Meow Meow: “…”
This doesn't sound right, like you want to go back to Leopard's house or Cat's house? Although they are separated, Leopard and Cat will always respect your choice.
"I told you, I'll take you home." Seeing that the girl was unmoved, Chen Che drove up and violently grabbed the front of the car, "Go away."
The small body was forcibly pushed aside by the tall man.
The cold wind was blowing wildly, and her snot was streaming down three thousand feet. She stepped on the Ultraman projection on the ground in grief and anger.
"Send, send, send. How are you going to send it?" Chi Leyou gave up. Her car was only 14 inches in size. It was a 15-minute drive from here to school. Was she going to push it all the way back?
"You reminded me." Shen Che parked his bicycle skillfully, and the wing door of the sports car behind him flew up. Without saying a word, he stuffed the girl into the passenger seat.
Chi Leyou was forced into the sports car, as if she was sucked into the cockpit of a UFO. Everything she saw was unfamiliar, and she didn't even know how to open the door from the inside.
But I saw Shen Che standing next to the bicycle, dialing the phone.
The 14-inch car is too tall, making it look like a kid's toy car, a funny combination of a giant and a goblin.
Not long after, a man who looked like a bank robber jumped out of the taxi.
The man exchanged a few words with Shen Che, and then saw him stumbling to the front of the sports car.
Through the windshield, Chi Leyou met him face to face——
Lu Ziyu, Shen Che's cousin.
His face was filled with surprise. The girl in the car fumbled around, but she couldn't find the door button and touched the window by mistake.
The one-way glass slowly lowered, and I could finally hear the conversation between the two people.
"Chen Che, are you a human?!" Lu Ziyu's voice turned to anger, "You want me to carry a car, carry this thing?!"
"Do you want to ride it or not?" The unreasonable young master was sure that Lu Ziyu had no way to deal with him.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Maple Leaf Country is a place of deep tranquility.
"Brother...I don't know how to ride." Lu Ziyu gave him a resentful look.
"If you can't ride, just lie down."
Chen Che walked to the passenger seat, "Car keys."
Chi Leyou took out a key with a bow from her small bag.
Chen Che's gaze paused on the bow, and the next second, a big hand took her car keys, drawing a smoky pink arc in the air, and Lu Ziyu caught the keys accurately.
"Phew——" whistles mixed with applause, and Chen Che gave a wicked smile, "Frisbee Dog World Cup Champion Lu~Lai~Fu~".
"You wait!" Lu Ziyu gritted his teeth. There was a girl around, and his brother didn't give her any face at all?
A fight between cousins was not for outsiders to interfere. Chi Leyou's gaze flicked across Shen Che's face before settling on the sports car's interior. Its lightweight carbon fiber and minimalist, high-tech design made it look more like a futuristic battle tank.
This car, a few million...is that enough? A string of zeros flashed through his mind.
Is he really not afraid that his cousin will discover the secret?
After a few days of contact, Chi Leyou thought Shen Che was a good person. She did not comment on his private life, but based on her friend's position, she did not want Shen Che's cousin to discover the secret.
Especially since this mysterious Lu Ziyu doesn't look too smart. What if he wanders around the streets with Shen Che's secret?
Chen Che took a few steps back, leaned forward, and his voice jumped in through the car window, "Don't worry, I'll talk to my brother again."
Her heart suddenly started beating fast, and she couldn't tell what she was worried about. She nodded and finally found the window button.
The one-way glass rises, and the world inside the car is silent.
When Shen Che stepped forward, Lu Ziyu instinctively retreated.
"I'll let you drive this car."
Lu Ziyu slid to his knees on the spot, his voice softened: "Oh, brother~"
"Since you've semi-retired from the entertainment industry, please study hard and make progress every day. Stay away from those messy relationships between men and women."
"Brother, I was harmed by someone." Lu Ziyu felt very sad. Thinking of Du Yuanshan, he sniffed, "My aunt..."
"She is communicating with Director Sun." Shen Che pushed the excited Lu Ziyu onto the bicycle seat.
Before the collapse of his house, Lu Ziyu was the perennial second male lead in idol dramas. Unexpectedly, the male lead of that drama did not become popular, but the second male lead did.
After a brief rise to fame, he was spotted by a mobile game company, offered the role of spokesperson and the theme song. Unexpectedly, that high-pitched theme song would become a viral sensation, with everyone from square dancers to kindergarten kids humming a few lines.
The law of conservation of energy means that once a person has pre-empted his luck in this life, he will encounter a Waterloo at some point.
After the collapse of the house, Lu Ziyu was like Napoleon who was exiled to St. Helena. He still wanted to win in his heart.
Who is Director Sun? The award-winning director. Lu Ziyu's eyes lit up, hope looming before his eyes.
"My mom said that your reputation is too bad. It's impossible for you to be 'Zi Yu Giegie'." Shen Che ruthlessly broke his fantasy.
“Brother, I…”
"Director Sun's drama this time is based on a realistic theme. An 18th-tier supporting actor went to a transvestite country, was scammed online and taken to northern Myanmar. After being rescued by many parties, he successfully escaped and returned home."
This topic is so positive! Lu Ziyu slapped his thigh with joy: "Brother, I knew my aunt loved me!"
"You and your friend were tricked into the industrial park, beaten black and blue. You had a perfect opportunity to escape. You betrayed your friend to gain your boss's trust. You beat your friend to death, becoming the second-in-command of the fraud ring. You..."
"Chen Che you!!!" Lu Ziyu's heart was burning with evil fire.
Chen Che patted his shoulder and said tolerantly: “Brother, I’m sorry to have wronged you, but this opportunity is rare.”
“…”
.
The car started and the speed soared instantly.
In the central rearview mirror, a tall man curled up like a shrimp, his long legs folded and pedaling rapidly, his languid figure gradually becoming smaller.
Miserable look.
"Slow down and wait for him." The girl was like the kind-hearted Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Chen Che felt strange. He was driving a sports car, and Lu Ziyu was riding a bicycle. How could they wait? They were completely on different wavelengths.
He doesn't quite understand, but he respects girls' opinions.
The sports car slowed down, Lu Ziyu took a breath of exhaust fumes, and the taillights made his cheeks red.
The car started and stopped like a dog walking. It was a great shame and humiliation. He had never suffered such a torture in his life. He raised his middle finger to the car in front of him: "Chen Che, your uncle!"
The inside of the car was another small world, isolated from the sounds of the outside world. Chen Che carried her, leisurely passing through the crisscrossing streets.
The hazy street lights are lined up in sequence, long strips of light meander into the distance, and the exotic Western buildings recede frame by frame.
She suddenly felt like stopping and enjoying the scenery.
As the car passed by the church, Lu Ziyu, who had boarded the car, shrank into a Lego figure in the rearview mirror. The moonlight enveloped the church like a veil, and several nuns in black robes appeared in front of him.
The car slowed down and drove parallel to the group of nuns.
"What are you looking at?" The man who was unwilling to be the driver had to speak out.
"Have you seen Sister Act? The heroine, who was being hunted, fled to a convent and pretended to be a nun. In the end, a group of real nuns went to rescue the fake nuns."
"I have." How could he not have seen it? He had recommended this movie to his best friend on Instagram, simply because she mentioned Professor McGonagall, so he recommended it to her so she could appreciate how crazy Professor McGonagall was when she took off her wizard robes and put on nun robes.
"Look," Chi Leyou said proudly. The black and white figures of the nuns outside the car window were particularly eye-catching. "Does the nun at the head of the team look like Professor McGonagall? Oh, you didn't know? Professor McGonagall played the headmistress in Sister Act~"
What a call back! Shen Che almost laughed.
"Where are the nuns outside?" He pretended to be surprised and looked out the window.
"?" Chi Leyou rolled down the car window, letting in the night breeze and the distinct footsteps of the nuns. "Over there, there are four of them."
"No..." Chen Che was confused, his eyes moving from the nuns to the profile of the girl in the passenger seat, "Are you dazzled?"
With a light-hearted remark, he turned the topic to ghost stories.
"...Chi Leyou's back stiffened, his eyes darting back and forth between the nuns, his voice trembling slightly, "Ah...you didn't see it?"
"There's no one on the road." Shen Che looked around casually and saw that she was as stiff as a frozen fish. He was about to burst into laughter and said, "Did you see something?"
Chi Leyou was most afraid of ghosts. She tightened her eyelids and twisted her seat belt into a knot.
.
The crescent moon was like a knife, hanging on the cross, and the car did a double jump 200 meters away from the church.
A frozen scene from a movie.
Lu Ziyu, who had no intention of appreciating the scene, held back his evil strength and struggled to climb the slope.
The car was crawling at the top of the hill, and the closer it got to it, the louder the laughter became.
Lu Ziyu saw a scene that he would never forget: his cousin with facial paralysis gripped the steering wheel with both hands, laughing so hard that his jaw dropped.
Possessed?
He wiped off the sweat and looked into the car.
"You're still laughing!" The girl in the passenger seat slapped him.
With a crisp snap, Lu Ziyu stopped. It was over. He could have hit anyone else, but his cousin. Who? The vengeful, vengeful demon, the ruthless young master who championed gender equality and cursed at any girl who provoked him. He observed a moment of silence for the girl.
Chen Che pressed his burning shoulder: "Hiss...are you practicing Iron Sand Palm?"
"You deserve it!" The angry girl was not afraid at all, and her voice rose several degrees, "You scared me first!"
Lu Ziyu didn't blink, his black eyes fixed on Shen Che's face, moving back and forth twice like a scanner.
His cousin wasn't angry, and there wasn't a trace of impatience in his eyes: "Ah, only a fool would be scared. If you were smart enough--"
Before he could finish his words, another palm strike came from the opposite side. Lu Ziyu decisively changed the object of his condolence: This girl is quite small, but her hands are extremely strong.
As Shen Che's good cousin, Lu Ziyu shouldered the responsibility of mediation and said at the right time: "Stop beating him."
The man and woman in the car turned their heads away at the same time and fired at Lu Ziyu.
"Shut up."
"It's none of your business."
Lu Ziyu: “…”
Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, he jumped onto his bicycle and pedaled the 14-inch youth bike furiously with his 1.85-meter-tall frame.
Reaching the top of the slope, he was quickly engulfed by the vista.
.
After eliminating the strangers, Chen Che drove again. The atmosphere along the way was quite harmonious. How should he say to her, "Hey, I'm your Instagram netizen who you've been chatting with for two years. I always thought you were a man."
How presumptuous.
His right shoulder ached like a brand. His hypocritical Instagram friend offered his concern: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
What a joke, a grown man can’t even withstand a girl’s embroidery punch?
"Oh," she seemed quite troubled. After thinking for a few seconds, she asked again, "It really doesn't hurt?"
The painful shoulder sank. Chen Che ignored its protests, parked the car steadily near the school, and emphasized again: "Who do you think I am? A cheap punching bag in a boxing gym?"
Chi Leyou smacked his lips and sighed, "Oh no, all that practice was in vain."
She said that her best friend's family opened a martial arts school in Maple Leaf Country. When it first opened, it was not popular, so she was forced to act as a background board and took many classes in a row.
"..." Chen Che suddenly realized, no wonder his hand was so strong.
The fan-leaf door opened, and the girl stepped out of the futuristic chariot. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the driver getting out of the car as well.
His tie was off, and his collar, which had two buttons removed, opened loosely as he walked.
He seemed to have something to say: "You play Instagram, right?"
Chi Leyou nodded and took out his cell phone: "Do you want to add me?" The screen was dark, and the battery-depleted phone turned into a brick.
The sound of the bicycle bell rang softly, accompanied by Lu Ziyu's heavy breathing. When he reached the end of the cycle, he suddenly realized: "Alumni?!"
"Yeah." Chi Leyou put aside the thought of expanding his Instagram friend list, took the bicycle from the new alumnus, and completed the handover ceremony. "Then I'm leaving?"
But her eyes were looking in the direction of Chen Che.
Unlucky Lu Ziyu: "Hey, we're classmates after all. I've ridden so far... Can you please give me a smile?"
"If you need love, go find your mother." Chen Che pushed him away.
Chi Leyou: "You are not allowed to curse."
The young master, who was inspired by the pun, wanted to explain, but Lu Ziyu, who had someone to back him up, was confident: "Yes, yes, yes, she likes you, and she even took you to take pictures of the northern lights!"
"I called you, but you didn't go. It's too dangerous over there. She's already forty, how can I trust her to go alone?"
"She just dotes on you!" Lu Ziyu's eyes turned red when he thought of his biological mother Shen Yuhu's preference for Shen Che.
The dispute between cousins contains a lot of information.
The girl retreated to the side of the road, fiddling with the strap of her shoulder bag with her fingers, her thoughts already flying into the sky.
Chen Che was worried about his wealthy sister traveling alone, so he accompanied her to the Yukon to photograph the aurora borealis. Chi Leyou thought such a relationship should be kept secret, but Chen Che was open and honest. He didn't mind others knowing, and he didn't plan to hide it from his family.
The fairy-tale love between a middle-aged rich woman and a poor man.
The two tall young men standing in front of the sports car were enough to attract attention. Two Asian girls passed by, staring blankly at Chen Che, and then their gaze shifted to Lu Ziyu.
The tall girl among them burst into a cry of "Zi Yu giegie".
The unconventional Lu Ziyu showed a standard idol smile. His online activities included taking photos but not uploading them to social networks, reminding fans to pay attention to safety, and signing on the girl's jacket with a pen.
After the crazy fan took a photo, he turned around and asked Shen Che: "Excuse me, are you an amateur?"
Lu Ziyu's face immediately turned dark.
Shen Che joked: "I am your Zi Yu giegie's driver."
The fanatical fan, his feet filled with lead, lingered there, unwilling to leave, and then caught sight of a girl assembling mushrooms by the curb. She was squatting on the ground, her hands resting on her cheeks, a creamy smile on her curled lips.
The fans' eyes moved around and they sensitively caught the key figure: "Brother Ziyu, is that your girlfriend?"
The man, who didn't look like a driver at all, frowned and interrupted without any hesitation: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Ziyu crossed himself up with his hands: "No!"
Chi Leyou, who had been squatting for a long time, suddenly stood up and said, "If You Are the One, Don't pair her with Lu Ziyu!"
A gust of wind swirled in the distance, and Park Ye-jin came over on her scooter. "Hey, Chi Leyou, what are you doing? Where's your phone? I can't get through!"
The quiet street was as bustling as a market. The girl stood up unsteadily because her legs had poor blood circulation due to squatting for a long time.
Chen Che noticed her abnormality, stepped forward quickly, and reached out to help her, but when he was about to catch her, he was knocked away by Park Ye-jin who was riding a hot wheel.
Park Ye-jin embraced her in her arms, and glanced at him with a high-profile glance, like a general who had returned from a victorious battle and won the beauty: "Damn it~"①
Chi Leyou's hair stood on end, and he broke away from her: "What are you doing?"
Her darling pressed her back to his chest and rubbed her head. "Do you know how worried I was about you? I'm glad you're okay."
Everyone was silent.
Crazy fans were relieved, she was not a girlfriend, she was "La Mi'er".
After clearing herself of suspicion, Chi Leyou thanked Lu Ziyu and took back the ownership of the bicycle. At this time, Chen Che looked over and saw Chi Leyou sitting on the bicycle, one foot on the pedal and the other on the ground.
Behind her, three bright stars in a horizontal line adorn the night sky, forming the iconic belt of Orion.
If Chenyu Lake were here, I would definitely pick up my camera to take a certification picture of Orion.
"Thank you for today." Her smile was dazzling. "The crosstalk was great."
Lu Ziyu's expression was like broken porcelain. It turned out that the crosstalk tickets were not the task issued by Du Yuanshan. Chen Che robbed the tickets in order to chase someone.
"But next time you should go and see it with your sister," she added.
What's so good about a mother who has a different sense of humor? He's not a mama's boy.
Chen Che said calmly: "There is a generation gap between her and me."
Is he talking like a human? One moment he's worried about his sister's safety and insists on accompanying her to photograph the Northern Lights, and the next moment, generation gap?
If there weren't other people around, Chi Leyou would definitely scold him and teach him a lesson.
"Screw it, let's go." Park Ye-jin hung on Chi Leyou like an octopus. Chen Che glared at this annoying sea creature several times.
"Xigua, it's so cold, why are you coming out to pick me up?" From what Chi Leyou knew about Park Ye-jin, it was common for her to stay indoors during the comic's serialization period. Once, there was a false fire alarm, and everyone covered their mouths and noses and ran downstairs, leaving Park Ye-jin alone in her dorm, drawing furiously.
Park Ye-jin pulled out a tablet from her bag and said, "It's stuck. Please help me figure out how to proceed. Please..."
She knew it. Chi Leyou leaned over.
Lu Ziyu tilted his head and asked Chen Che, "Your friend's... partner is a screenwriter, right?"
Chen Che gave him a slap.
"Xigua, let's go back and talk."
When Lu Ziyu's head came closer, Park Ye-jin suddenly turned off the screen: "What are you looking at? You have no taste."
"you!"
"You're out of words? What do you mean?"
"Someone speaks in long sentences!" Lu Ziyu accurately grasped the pain point of Park Yezhen's half-baked Chinese, "slightly, slightly, slightly."
Chen Che opened his personality and said, "I'm sorry, my brother is sick. I will take him home and educate him properly."
Park Ye-jin kept saying "baa ...
The opening is stuck.
His mind is empty and he has forgotten everything long ago.
Park Ye-jin: “Open the seal!”
Chi Leyou covered Park Yezhen's mouth and said, "Sorry, she was stuck in the plot and overexerted her brain, causing a cerebellar cramp."
“…”
Chen Che gave Chi Leyou a look, and the two of them understood what he meant and carried the person in their arms away.
Long-lost peace.
Lu Ziyu had never been so angry before. He drooped like a pickled cabbage, leaning against the car window, and said sadly, "Brother... that pickled cabbage woman is so infuriating! What does it mean to... drive a gi?"
Shen Che was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Lu Ziyu opened GPT and imitated Park Ye-jin's tone: "Kimchi language, kai, sai, gi, translated into Chinese."
GPT: Bastard.
"...What about Xiba?"
GPT: Asshole. These two words are very rude and should only be used with understanding.
Lu Ziyu: “!”
.
The two girls each jumped onto their mounts.
Chi Leyou waved at Lu Ziyu, then looked at Chen Che, and they looked at each other in silence, waving their hands in a fake gesture of farewell.
Park Ye-jin threw two white eyes at Lu Ziyu, and when she looked at Chen Che and Chi Leyou again, she had already put on a sweet smile like spring breeze.
She stretched out a finger towards Chen Che, and the words that came out of her mouth were like some kind of kimchi spell "Cou a hey". Chi Leyou turned around with a puzzled look on her face and asked "What?" Park Yezhen took the opportunity to poke her soft and elastic cheek with her finger, poking and poking, and then showed a meaningful smile after being satisfied.
She was like an NPC watching others fall in love. Every time she took a breath, her heart was filled with the shape of a love heart.
Oh no, I got it.
.
The two girls rode away.
I originally wanted to reveal my identity to Chi Leyou, but my plan was ruined by an irrelevant person. My heart was filled with anxiety, and I felt a faint sense of anticipation.
"If you look at it again, it will turn into a wife-watching stone. Oh, she's not interested in you anymore."
Chen Che was struck by lightning: "Who likes her?"
Lu Ziyu smacked his lips and thought to himself: You are going to die, and the crematorium won’t be able to burn your mouth.
The sports car roared as it accelerated, and the scenery, like a Lego street scene, flew backwards.
They were silent all the way. After dropping Lu Ziyu off at home, Chen Che was in no hurry to leave.
The sports car was lying under the winter cherry trees. The cold moonlight passed through the intertwined branches, casting mottled shadows on the car.
The man opened GPT and asked slowly, "What does 'Cou, ah, hey...' mean?"
GPT: According to your pronunciation, "couahei" means "like".
He retracted his numb fingertips and threw the phone onto the center console. His heart swelled again, and an emotion he had never experienced before was about to burst out.
He looked up, the windshield framed the scene outside the car like a photograph: the moonlight was bright white, the shadows of the trees, and the gray-brown branches stretched towards the night sky. At the end, the dark brown scales fell off slightly, revealing a few bluish-white buds.
That's the sign of spring.
