Chapter 82 Aquarium
Wu Suowei held the text message of deposit sent by mobile banking. The zeros behind the number made his heart pound and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
I have money! Real money!
He calculated that after paying the rent, the outstanding materials bill, and paying Xiao Shuai back... there would still be a lot left!
He sat happily on the small bench in the rental house, and felt his back straighten a little.
The phone suddenly vibrated. Chi Cheng's name popped up.
Wu Suowei's good mood was instantly affected.
What does this madman want to do?
He picked up the phone hesitantly, his voice a little wary: "Hello?"
"Come out." Chi Cheng's voice came through the receiver. It was flat, but carried an unquestionable sense of command.
"What? I'm busy!" Wu Suowei subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Being with Chi Cheng puts too much strain on my heart.
"Aquarium. Downstairs in ten minutes." Chi Cheng said and hung up the phone.
Wu Suowei: "..."
He stared at the busy phone, his teeth itching with anger.
Tyrant! Dictator!
Aquarium? Why would a grown man like him go to an aquarium?
But... judging from Chi Cheng's tone, I have to go.
He scratched his hair irritably and began to change his clothes resignedly.
I comforted myself: Just relax, I just made some money anyway...
Ten minutes later, Wu Suowei came downstairs reluctantly.
Chi Cheng's conspicuous black SUV was indeed parked on the side of the road.
Chi Cheng leaned against the car door, a cigarette between his fingertips. Amidst the smoke, his eyes glanced over indifferently.
Wu Suowei walked over with gritted teeth, opened the car door, and got into the passenger seat consciously.
The car was filled with a faint smell of tobacco and Chi Cheng's unique cold aura, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Seat belt." Chi Cheng put out his cigarette and started the car.
Wu Suowei fastened his belt silently and the car merged smoothly into the traffic flow.
He looked out the window at the passing street scenes and wondered, "What's wrong with this lunatic today? Why bring him to a place like this?"
The light in the aquarium is dim blue, and behind the huge glass curtain wall, all kinds of strange-shaped fish swim slowly.
The light and shadow of the rippling water are reflected on the faces of tourists, with a dreamy color.
Wu Suowei was hesitant at first, but soon his attention was attracted by the fish.
He leaned over the glass, watching a group of clownfish swimming around in the coral reef, and couldn't help grinning: "Hey, these fish are quite funny!"
Chi Cheng walked beside him, his eyes rarely lingering on the school of fish, but more on Wu Suowei's profile, which looked particularly vivid because of the novelty.
This little money-grubber's eyes sparkle when he smiles, like falling stars.
He was in a good mood and had the rare patience to accompany me.
"Mr. Chi? What a coincidence!" A deliberately raised voice with surprise suddenly came from the side.
The smile on Wu Suowei's face froze instantly.
This voice...
He felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly and turned his head away sharply.
Wang Shuo was wearing a carefully matched casual outfit, with an impeccable smile of surprise on his face, and was walking towards him.
His gaze passed directly over Wu Suowei and stuck to Chi Cheng, with undisguised admiration and eagerness.
Wang Shuo sneered in his heart.
He had already asked someone to keep an eye on Chi Cheng's car.
Aquarium? What a godsend! How could that country bumpkin Wu Suowei be worthy of standing next to Chi Cheng?
Today he must let Chi Cheng see what true charm is!
"Wang Shuo?" Chi Cheng frowned slightly, his tone flat.
Wang Shuo seemed oblivious to Chi Cheng's indifference and took a few steps closer, his distance somewhat deliberately close. "Yeah, I didn't expect to see you here! I usually like to come here to relax. The deep sea area here is particularly breathtaking, especially that tiger shark..."
He deliberately softened his voice, with a hint of admiration, and looked at Chi Cheng intently, "Young Master Chi, are you also interested in marine life?"
Wu Suowei's stomach was churning as he watched from the side.
Pretend! Keep pretending!
Looking at Wang Shuo's flattering face, a surge of anger suddenly rose up in his heart.
Chi Cheng is now at least considered...his protector? Even if it's forced!
Wu Suowei felt an awkward possessiveness and a reluctance to admit defeat.
His eyes rolled, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Chi Cheng's wrist that was hanging by his side!
Chi Cheng's body paused almost imperceptibly, and he lowered his eyes to look at his wrist that was grabbed.
Wu Suowei's heart was beating fast, but he forced a bright smile on his face. He raised his voice deliberately, with a hint of coquettishness that even he found disgusting: "Chi Cheng! Look over there! That blue fish is so big! Is it staring at me? Help me see!"
As he spoke, he shook Chi Cheng's arm vigorously, almost sticking to him, completely ignoring Wang Shuo beside him.
The smile on Wang Shuo's face froze instantly.
He looked at Wu Suowei's "innocent" look as he grabbed Chi Cheng's arm, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
This poor bastard! How dare he bump into Chi Cheng right in front of him? And even make such a disgusting gesture!
Chi Cheng's gaze moved from his grabbed wrist to Wu Suowei's face, which was pretending to be calm but with tension and cunning hidden in his eyes.
This little thing... is playing with fire?
Instead of shaking it off, he turned around and held Wu Suowei's hand, which was offered to him.
Wu Suowei: “!!!”
He wanted to pull it back, but Chi Cheng held it tightly.
Chi Cheng's palms were warm and dry, with thin calluses on his fingertips, rubbing against his skin, causing waves of shivers.
The smile on his face almost disappeared, and his ears quickly turned red.
Chi Cheng seemed unaware of his stiffness. He looked in the direction Wu Suowei pointed and responded calmly, "Yeah, it's quite big. It's a bluefin tuna."
Wang Shuo looked at the two people's clasped hands and his expression turned extremely ugly.
He suppressed the jealousy that was boiling within him, and a smile returned to his face. His voice became even softer, and he leaned slightly towards Chi Cheng, trying to draw his attention back: "Young Master Chi really knows a lot! Unlike some people who can't even recognize all the fish..."
He glanced at Wu Suowei meaningfully.
Wu Suowei was furious at that look.
Dare to imply him? He immediately fought back, holding Chi Cheng's hand even harder, and leaning towards Chi Cheng, almost half of his body leaning against Chi Cheng's arm, his voice sweet and greasy: "Oh, I just don't understand! Chi Cheng, you're the best, can you teach me how to recognize fish? I'll treat you to ice cream!"
After saying that, he deliberately raised his face, blinked his eyes and looked at Chi Cheng, trying hard to imitate the method of acting like a spoiled child that Yue Yue had taught him before.
Chi Cheng looked at Wu Suowei's clumsy and forced "seduction" look, and a hint of strong interest and pleasure flashed in the depths of his eyes.
This little thing, is he really willing to risk everything just to piss off Wang Shuo?
This weird and lively look...
He held Wu Suowei's hand tightly, rubbed the back of his hand with the tip of his thumb, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Okay, I'll teach you."
Wu Suowei's scalp tingled and the hairs on his body stood on end because of the caress of his fingers and the low laugh!
But the arrow was already on the string, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to "act coquettishly" under Wang Shuo's almost spitting glare: "Then I want the biggest one! The one with the chocolate crust!"
"Buy it." Chi Cheng said concisely. He took Wu Suowei's hand and walked directly to the dining area of the aquarium, completely leaving Wang Shuo aside.
Wang Shuo stood there, watching the two people leave hand in hand, his nails digging deep into his palms, shaking with anger!
Shame! A great shame! Why would Wu Suo be afraid of him?!
