Chapter 71 His Confession: Ten Yuan to Buy a Pre-sale Right
.
Wang Guihua only knew the location of the community, and nothing else. After harshly criticizing her for not possessing the qualities of a secret agent, Chen Che jumped into the car, heading to Jinzheng Community.
The residential complex was old, and after searching aimlessly, Chen Che returned to the message room.
"Master, do you know which building this girl lives in?" The young master, who was ignorant of the world, had eyes as clear as springs.
The old man in the reception room was alert: "What's going on?"
Chen Che snapped up his phone. On the desktop was a photo of Chi Leyou: "Uncle, this is my girlfriend. I'm looking for her..."
He rolled his tongue and swallowed the word "的" in 0.01 seconds.
The old man immediately recognized the girl in the photo—the daughter of Chi Yuanhang, a well-known resident of the neighborhood. Chi Yuanhang had made a small card with his daughter's one-inch photo and pinned it to a keychain to show off everywhere.
He is very famous. Besides having a beautiful daughter who studies at a prestigious foreign university, debt collectors with blue dragon and white tiger tattoos come to his house every now and then to cause trouble for him.
The old man glanced at Chen Che indifferently. The young man in front of him was more handsome than the idol his granddaughter was chasing after. He didn't look like someone from a debt collection agency.
He dialed 110. "Hello, someone's following a little girl in Jinzheng Community. He's in the reception room. I've detained him."
“…”
The police station was across the street from the community gate, and the police arrived in just two minutes.
The old man was proud.
The police checked Chen Che's ID card and felt something was wrong. How come... he had the same name as the director's son?
The news that Director Shen and Du Yuanshan had been secretly married for many years has recently become known throughout the country, and police stations across the city have been eating up the news.
The police officer said cautiously, “Director Shen, is that you?”
"Dad, the kind that can pass DNA testing." The eldest young master's patience ran out.
“…”
Mr. Shen, a frequent topic of conversation among the crowd, was currently standing in front of the air conditioning unit in the reception room, a small advertisement for a convenient locksmith service plastered above it. Like a top-tier male star posing for a magazine shoot, he clutched a bulging, oversized red and white snakeskin bag as if carrying Hermès, a half-sliced plant leaf poking out from the zipper.
"Chen..." The police officer couldn't decide whether to address the young master.
"Just call me Xiao Shen."
"Xiao Shen, is there anything else I can help you with?"
The old man in the reception room made amends: "Old Chi's family is in Building 11, Unit 2, 101."
"Thank you, everyone." Chen Che raised his foot and fell back. "Excuse me, do you have a supermarket cart?"
The old man in the message room quickly borrowed a cart from the grocery store at the entrance of the community.
.
Shen Che pushed the snakeskin bag and walked to the window.
He looked up and saw the girl's head sticking out from the window gap. They were not far away.
"Your house is so hard to find." Most of his anger dissipated when he found the person. "The old man in the reception desk took me to the police station."
Chi Leyou's heart trembled, and her gaze dropped from his face to his wrist.
But that person was like a worm in her stomach, guessing her thoughts immediately and raising his hands in the air: "Isn't it great? I escaped from prison."
"I'm not in cuffs again." She muttered.
Looking at him again, he was still wearing the familiar sweatshirt in a light cherry color, and a pair of misty gray pants with the cuffs loose.
"Yes, I'm in the detention center, and I'll be the first one to give you up."
Chi Leyou leaned against the window frame, his arms folded neatly, like a high-energy freshman who had just completed nine years of compulsory education. However, what he said was not polite at all: "Then just wait, I will have the police send you to the women's prison. Who told you to dress like a girl?"
"Don't you like cherry blossoms? Is it a crime for me to wear your favorite color?" At this moment, he looked like an ancient dandy, with his hands in his pockets, looking like "What can you do to me if I'm on your side?"
There are new buds on the peach branches in the flowerbed downstairs. The moonlight casts a hazy filter on the leaf veins, and also casts a slanted shadow at his feet. The moonlight in his hometown is brighter than that in the Maple Leaf Country. Even his shadow is cute.
"Have you had enough sleep?" He smiled at her, his eyes sparkling. Chi Leyou felt that Ying was not as cute as him again. He said, "Come down? I'll take you to play."
——"Youyou, who are you talking to?"
The girl shrank back like a nimble deer, the curtains swaying suddenly, the warm yellow light magnifying the shadows on the window. Chen Che saw her tactically patting her head.
"Mom, I'm talking to a friend on the phone."
The flesh on Chen Che’s left cheek twitched: “Little liar.”
Chen Yun: "Mom made some rice dumplings, would you like one?"
"Two, I want two." The voice gradually faded away, and Shen Che guessed that she had slipped out to find food.
He is still hungry.
Not long after, another head popped out from the gap in the curtains: "Would you like some rice dumplings? My mom makes them, they're delicious."
——"Youyou, do you want to eat some cherry tomatoes?"
The curtains were closed again.
Chen Che heard the little liar scurrying out, probably to get some tomatoes, and then she yelled that she was going to bed. This time, the excuse was jet lag.
A bag of food was thrown onto the windowsill, and the peeled rice dumplings were placed in a food bag.
Shen Che caught it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Go home after you finish eating." Wow, the lady of a noble family started to chase the guests away after throwing the bouquet.
The little girl didn't like him.
"That won't do." Chen Che's mouth curled up into a wicked smile, not much different from the vagrants in ancient times, "Come down, I want to eat with you."
"I can't come down. My parents are here."
"Then climb down."
“…”
The night wind carried hooks, and the air was filled with the incense of poison. Chi Leyou was confused: "How can I climb so high?"
"It's just the first floor." He spread his arms, "I'll catch you."
He must have been the one sprinkling poison all around like crazy. Chi Leyou only thought for a second, opened the window, and took half a step out like an agile kitten.
Shen Che didn't expect this girl to be so active. Half of her body was hanging out of the window. She tilted her head to see his open arms: "Then hold on to me."
She was wearing mint green pajamas and jumped out of the first-floor window. The hem of her clothes was blown open by the wind, and she was like a pebble falling into a blue lake, with endless ripples.
Shen Che caught her steadily and held her tightly in his arms.
She hugged the bag of bright red tomatoes tightly, her cheeks flushed, as if the tomatoes reflected the redness of her face.
She lowered her head to check and smiled innocently: "Hey, it's not crushed."
"You're quite heavy." A low, grainy voice fell from above her head.
"I'm a pig?" She raised her head and met his eyes.
Shen Che lifted her up and smiled, changing his words: “It’s not heavy anymore, it’s the weight of the pig.”
"I want to come down." She turned away her hot face, but found that she was not wearing slippers.
At the awkward moment, Shen Che put her directly into the supermarket cart.
"..." The boiling emotions were hit by countless question marks in my heart, "Why are you pushing the cart?"
"Carrying trees."
“???”
Chen Che picked up the woven bag on the ground, unzipped one end, and took out a welcoming pine tree like a treasure: "Do you like it?"
How difficult it was for him to collect these!
The girl nestled in the cart pinched the zipper head and pulled it slowly. The bigger the bag opening became, the wider her eyes opened.
All Jellycat.
Discontinued models, limited editions...the Maple Leaf National Limited Edition large and small Maple Leaf that was just released a while ago are also on the list.
"I'll put it in your house, you can take your time to look at it."
"Ah?" Chi Leyou didn't react until he saw Chen Che lift up the woven bag and throw it towards the open window with all his strength.
clang.
The sound of porcelain breaking.
"What's the matter?" The voices of a middle-aged man and woman.
Chi Leyou was about to cry, and shouted incoherently through the window: "Mom, I'm going out... to take out the trash..."
The supermarket trolley was pushed out by the man at the speed of a rocket.
The tassel-like hair waves billowed in the wind. Which one was faster, the heartbeat or the pace of the person pushing the cart?
When passing the message room, the car speed dropped significantly. The old man in the message room opened the window and his jaw dropped to the ground.
Chen Che raised his voice: "Can I borrow it for a few hours? Thank you, sir."
The girl in the car buried her head in her legs, curled up like a big hedgehog, but her hands silently bowed in the direction of the old man.
There are not many people on the street.
They came across a baby carriage, and the little baby stared at Chi Leyou with his bright eyes. The woman smiled and said to the baby, "Brother is pushing sister."
Chi Leyou: "Turn around, I want to go home."
"No way." Shen Che controlled the speed of the car, "Do you have shoes?"
The girl lowered her eyes slightly and curled up her toes secretly behind her socks.
"Sit still."
"oh……"
Crossing the crossroads, on the right is a small square where a dozen or so elderly women are dancing. With their round fans unfurled, they dance with grace. A melodious song emanates from the speakers: "The water of West Lake, my tears~"
Chi Leyou: "H City's city song."
"Isn't it 'Our home is in heaven'?"
"That's the White Lady."
She was sharp-tongued and Chen Che couldn't argue with her.
"Sing the city song for me." She rested her chin on her knees and refused to leave.
“…”
"What?" She glanced at him sideways, "You said you wanted to play with me."
She insisted: "Now we play street karaoke."
"Our home~" Chen Che's heart hardened, and he closed his eyes. She was deliberately trying to embarrass him, so what could he do? Sing, no matter how bad it sounded.
The sound continued for two short bursts. It was clearly a local anthem he'd heard growing up, yet it sounded so unfamiliar coming out of Chen Che's mouth. Was he rapping? Every line spoke of the beauty of his hometown, yet from his voice, it lacked a trace of aesthetic appeal.
The empty voice floated up from H City, traveled halfway around the world to the Maple Leaf Country, and passed through the vast sky and earth of Yukon. The distorted sound waves collided with the aurora.
Chi Leyou was silent for a few seconds, then spoke several times: "You...this..."
As pretty as his face is, his singing voice is horrible. If he debuted as an idol and was dragged to a concert by an unscrupulous agency, all the fans in the audience would call the police and demand a refund.
"You found out I can't sing." Chen Che sat down on a bench on the street angrily, and like an old father taking his child for a walk, he hooked his foot on the stroller - a temporary child lock.
"It's not bad," she said unconvincedly. After considering it for a moment, she simply gave in and said, "How about we not sing it next time?"
"Then I have to punish you." Shen Che stood up and pushed the stroller again.
"Hey, what do you want to do!" The girl was afraid that he would retaliate, so she nervously grabbed the edge of the cart, ready to jump out at any time.
“Parade.”
"There's a night market ahead!" she exclaimed. He had no shame, but she did!
The surging crowds and the vibrant life of the world were just what he wanted. He would go wherever there was a lot of activity.
The glutinous rice in the long-gone-cold rice dumplings had become sticky, yet the young master ate them with gusto. But that wasn't enough, as he stole the cherry tomatoes from the girl's arms like a thief.
He then stood in front of a cotton candy stall and forced the stall owner to design a Peppa Pig for him.
The stall owner was in a dilemma.
Shen Che swept a hundred and said, “You made a hair dryer out of a pig’s head.”
Stall owner: “Arrange!”
Money makes the world go round.
Chi Leyou received an extremely ugly pink marshmallow.
She took a bite, the sweetness soaking into her lips and teeth, and the embarrassing thoughts melted away like icing sugar, leaving no trace. It seemed that as long as she was by his side, even the most absurd things seemed natural.
Not far away, there were a few students in school uniforms holding cameras to take pictures secretly. When they saw Chen Che looking over, the girls lowered their heads in panic and pretended to play with their phones.
"No. 5 Middle School?" Chen Che pushed the cart and stopped in front of the group, scanning the uniforms. Chi Leyou turned around and pushed his arm.
After all, they were high school students, and being interrogated was frightening. No one said a word.
Chen Che pressed, "Photograph me?"
One of the girls bravely challenged her: "Do you have any evidence?"
"Come with me to the police station. If you didn't take the photos, I'll apologize immediately. If you did, your homeroom teacher will be here to pick you up soon. Oh, by the way, Principal Ge is short of people for the morning meeting tomorrow, Monday. You guys can go up on stage and read your apologies in front of the whole school."
The surroundings are noisy, but this piece of world is quiet.
"Sorry!" Several girls deleted photos in front of Chen Che and cleared the "Recently Deleted" in the album.
Chi Leyou moved to the other end of the cart and sat facing Shen Che: "You're so fierce."
"You think I'm mean? Chi Leyou, do you have any conscience?" He slapped the cart handle, brows raised, and threatened, "Aren't you afraid of my revenge?"
The girl ignored him and licked Peppa Pig. Shen Che leaned over angrily and bit off its mouthpiece with a whine.
"Are you afraid?"
"Oh my god, your revenge really scares me."
The two looked at each other in the moonlight, neither of them looking away.
Immediately, two short laughs burst out from the bottom of their hearts, and the absurd and funny mood was spread by the laughter. They laughed together in the noisy street, like two fools.
You will pass a sausage stall soon.
Chi Leyou waved his hand: "Go to the other side, I can't stand this smell."
Chen Che was thinking this: "You want to eat starch sausage, but I won't buy it for you."
"Who wants to eat? I'm not eating!" The girl sat more and more relaxed, her mouth split open. "When I was in elementary school, Ren Mi and I ate sausages and we both went to the emergency room at night."
Shen Che pushed her to turn around and followed her words: "What elementary school did you go to?"
"Jianguo No. 1 Primary School."
"Really?" Chen Che's eyes moved from her hairline to her brow, and from her nose to her chin, like a student studying a model in a studio.
The 20-year-old girl in front of him was shrunk into a pocket-sized 10-year-old elementary school student.
Suddenly, the little swindler in my memory and the sweetheart in front of me were superimposed into two photos: 10 years ago vs 10 years later.
"You and Ren Mi aren't the only ones who go to the emergency room at night." Chen Che pointed at himself, "There's also me."
"?" Chi Leyou's eyes remained motionless.
"You forced me to sell two Ultraman cards. Heaven has eyes, and it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
After being on the run for ten years, the suspect Chi was brought to justice today.
"Are you a little fat?" The guilt only lasted for a minute. Chi Leyou felt a sense of relief after being brought to justice. She could finally sleep soundly in the cell. "Wow, you were very fat when you were a child."
“…” Shen Che felt a little regretful.
He pushed her slowly, and the streetlights filtered through the trees cast a soft layer of gold foil on her shoulders.
"No revenge?" She curled her eyes.
He shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant: "I won't report it."
"Why?"
"It's worth ten yuan to buy a pre-sale right."
"Pre-sale rights?"
The marshmallows had long been broken into bamboo sticks, and it was impossible to tell who ate more, but the sweetness remained in each other's mouths, and even the voices were sweet.
"I like you." His ears were slightly red, and his lips and teeth seemed to be stuck with icing sugar. Every word he said was like breaking a sweet seal. "I have been lining up in your heart for ten years. Just for this sincerity, can you be my girlfriend?"
