Chapter 5, Chapter 129: If 1: Starting with this guy...
The man whined and acted coquettishly beside her, pulling her hand and shaking it back and forth.
Jin Chuwan tried to suppress her nausea, but still felt a little disgusted.
She glanced at Yin Zhihua, who was still enjoying himself, and her expression gradually became complicated.
"If you want to go, just say so properly..."
Yin Zhihua laughed so hard her eyes disappeared as she looked at her disgusted expression.
"Then it's settled. By the way, I remember there was a hot pot restaurant that smelled really good when I was wandering around the other day..."
Jin Chuwan was pulled forward by Yin Zhihua.
The young man was tall and handsome. Even though he was dressed plainly, he still attracted the attention of passersby. Even Jin Chuwan was glanced at a few more times.
Eight o'clock in the evening is the busiest time.
Jin Chuwan accompanied Yin Zhihua for a long time before finally finding the shop he had been longing to visit.
For various reasons, although Jin Chuwan's salary was decent, she still struggled to make ends meet.
And the one next to her goes without saying.
Yin Zhihua frowned as he looked at the menu. Each number seemed unremarkable, but to him, they carried a heavy weight of pressure. Even though he had accepted the "gold digger" label, his pride still ached.
After ordering, he started thinking about what he could do when he got home to make a certain female sugar daddy feel that supporting him was worthwhile.
The young man, lost in thought, blushed slightly.
A moment later, the waiter came over and Jin Chuwan handed the menu to Yin Zhihua.
"Is there anything else we want to add?"
Yin Zhihua coughed lightly, shook his head, and said, "I don't have any more. You can choose whatever you like."
Jin Chuwan looked at the menu that had been pushed back to her, then looked up at Yin Zhihua. His head was drooping slightly, his gaze unfocused, and perhaps because he had been outside in the cold for too long, his cheeks and ears were noticeably flushed.
Suddenly, Jin Chuwan felt a sudden urge to rub his head or pinch his ears.
Coming to her senses, Jin Chuwan fell into a brief silence. She awkwardly touched her chin before hurriedly handing the menu to the waiter.
She picked up the water glass on the table and took a big gulp.
"By the way, what are your plans for the future?"
Jin Chuwan was just asking casually, but Yin Zhihua immediately became alert when she heard words like "later," "future," or "plans."
He felt that Jin Chuwan wanted to get rid of him, and a hint of grievance welled up in his eyes.
"I don't know either, I'll just take it one step at a time..."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes slightly, looking somewhat uneasy.
"I know I'm useless right now... but could you please not send me away?"
Soon the waiter brought out the hot pot base. Perhaps because it was Friday, the restaurant was almost full and the surrounding noise was quite loud. Yin Zhihua's voice was muffled by the noise.
Jin Chuwan paused, looking at the dejected and nervous young man, and unconsciously drifted off into thought.
Sometime just now, she suddenly realized that it had been a long time since she had sat down and chatted with her friends like this.
Since arriving in this city, she has always been busy. Just when she gets used to a place, she moves away for various reasons. People she just got to know lose contact with because of job changes. Gradually, she began to feel that getting to know someone is a troublesome thing, and that building a relationship is meaningless.
In the end, they're all just names lying in a list, no longer being contacted.
In a daze, Jin Chuwan met Yin Zhihua's cautious yet expectant gaze.
She remembered the puppy she had when she was a child. Two pairs of eyes overlapped across time and space, filled with deadly power.
Jin Chuwan touched the warm water glass and nervously swallowed.
That was close; she almost agreed immediately.
Her gaze darted around, avoiding eye contact with Yin Zhihua.
"But, as you can see from my situation, the rented place is very small. It's okay to take care of you for a short time, but it will definitely be inconvenient in the long run..."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhihua's eyes lit up.
"I won't cause any trouble. I'll only take up a tiny spot. I'll go out to work! I'll hand over my living expenses as soon as I earn money. I'll be obedient, you can trust me!"
Perhaps because of his excitement, Yin Zhihua's voice was a little louder. When Jin Chuwan saw the approaching waiter suddenly give her an ambiguous look, she immediately covered her face and lowered her head.
"Keep your voice down, I can hear you."
Yin Zhihua showed no sign of restraint; he moved his chair and sat down next to Jin Chuwan.
"Really, you can set a trial period. If I make you angry, it's not too late to kick me out then."
Yin Zhihua's eyes were bright and alert when he spoke, and at first glance, it seemed as if he had received an offer from a big company.
Jin Chuwan pushed his head away, but Yin Zhihua continued to explain his ideas with great enthusiasm.
For example, he will take care of all the housework, deliver her to and from get off work, and provide her with breakfast and dinner. He will also make her happy. In short, you will definitely not regret raising him.
In her heart, Kim Cho-man was almost convinced.
After all, the conditions he offered were very tempting, provided he actually fulfilled them.
During the meal, Yin Zhihua kept emphasizing these words.
But Jin Chuwan never gave him the promise he wanted, and no matter how much Yin Zhihua swore to heaven, she remained skeptical.
But as if to prove himself, Yin Zhihua performed exceptionally well in the days that followed.
Even before going to bed at night, he would take out a rope and ask Jin Chuwan to tie him up.
To be honest, Yin Zhihua is slightly addicted to this little game.
Especially in the last few days, Jin Chuwan's cheeks would turn red every time she tied him up, and she seemed reluctant to hurt him. This feeling of being cared for made Yin Zhihua's heart flutter.
Yin Zhihua closed his eyes in enjoyment. Jin Chuwan really did like him; it was just that those few bastards had caused them to miss out in the past.
Recently, his part-time job has become more and more legitimate. Although it's not a formal job, he can still save some money. Jin Chuwan never asks him for it, and even if he offers her some, she just tells him to save it himself.
Yin Zhihua squatted at the intersection, holding a large plush toy he had just pulled out of the claw machine.
When he finished work today, his colleague dragged him to the arcade. He was reluctant to buy any tokens, but the owner treated him, so Yin Zhihua played a couple of rounds. He originally just planned to play a little and go home, but he actually won a big prize.
The girl who came to play with him wanted it, but Yin Zhihua insisted on not giving it to him and was scolded for being stingy.
Yin Zhihua didn't care about any of this. He squatted at the intersection with his arms crossed. The temperature would drop a lot at night, and his breath would turn into white mist. He began to miss his little home with Jin Chuwan.
The young man tilted his head and looked at the building across the street.
Even though it's already the end of the year, Jin Chuwan still often works overtime. Although she is supposed to get off work at six o'clock, she often doesn't get off until seven, eight, or even later.
She always looked exhausted when she came over, but she would still smile happily when she saw him. At those moments, Yin Zhihua felt utterly useless.
I wish he could earn more money.
It was almost 10 o'clock, and Yin Zhihua had been squatting at the intersection for three hours.
He didn't feel tired, but he missed Jin Chuwan a little. He wanted to see her soon, give her the rabbit he had caught, and see her smile at him.
At this time, there weren't many people on the street anymore, and cars were coming and going. While Yin Zhihua was in a daze, he suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
He excitedly looked up, and sure enough, Jin Chuwan was walking towards him carrying a cardboard box.
The wind was a bit strong that night, and Jin Chuwan's clothes were being blown about. Yin Zhihua hurriedly stood up and ran over, but as soon as he got there, he saw her reddened eyes.
Yin Zhihua's smile faded, replaced by a look of utter helplessness.
He wanted to hug her, but stopped just as he raised his hand. However, since his hand was already raised, it seemed strange no matter what he did.
So he paused, straightened his hand, and carefully asked, leaning forward.
What happened?
