Chapter 6, Chapter 130: If 1: Starting with this guy...
If1: Let's start with this guy! (5)
The city streets at night seemed a bit deserted compared to the daytime, and the once bustling highways gradually began to dry up.
Kim Cho-wan hunched her shoulders and buried her chin completely in her scarf.
It's so cold tonight. The wind is like a knife hitting my skin, making me want to hide away.
But compared to the physical cold, Jin Chuwan felt a chill in her heart.
She was laid off.
Although she was given compensation, she still felt wronged. She had clearly put a lot of effort into her work, completing all the overtime and tasks that were required, and even some tasks that were not her responsibility, but she was still forced to leave because of her educational background.
Although she appeared indifferent on the surface, she had secretly cried in the bathroom.
Kim Cho-wan lowered his head in frustration.
Leaving a job is nothing new for her; she's changed jobs three times since coming to S City. She's quite satisfied with her current salary, and losing it now feels like a huge regret.
She couldn't help but sigh, and glanced at the man in front of her again.
"I think,"
Most of the time, Kim Cho-wan feels that she has no worries, but occasionally she feels from the bottom of her heart that she is a failure.
"I'm so useless..."
Upon hearing Jin Chuwan's words, Yin Zhihua stopped in his tracks, cupped Jin Chuwan's cheeks, and frowned slightly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're my savior... Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, you know? Don't you have any idea how important you are to me? If you're useless, wouldn't I be unworthy of living in this world?"
The other party's series of questions made Jin Chuwan burst into laughter.
Although it's a bit far-fetched, it seems to make some sense.
Jin Chuwan did not resist, letting Yin Zhihua rub her cheeks.
She suddenly remembered that a couple of days ago, her colleagues had asked her who the person she was walking with was. At the time, she hadn't realized what they were referring to, but now that she thought about it, they were probably asking about him.
Suddenly I realize, I'm so glad I met you that day...
Although on the surface she was helping him, in reality, since Yin Zhihua found a job, he had hardly ever let her spend any money. On the contrary, he did more for her, such as picking her up and dropping her off at get off work, making breakfast and dinner, and doing other housework.
Jin Chuwan suddenly couldn't tell who was helping whom.
The wind was howling, and Yin Zhihua couldn't help but sneeze. He breathed on his hand and then cautiously glanced at Jin Chuwan.
"You don't need to go to work starting tomorrow, right?"
Kim Chu-wan nodded.
"Then come shopping with me. I only have two outfits right now, and that suit is so thin. If I keep going like this, I'll freeze..."
Despite being tall and strong, he deliberately acted as if he were weak and pitiful. Jin Chuwan knew he was being coquettish, but she still sighed helplessly.
"Okay, I don't have any problem, but what about you? Don't you have a shoot tomorrow?"
Since saving the day last time, he seems to have inadvertently become a pillar of the industry. Jin Chuwan doesn't know much about this industry; she was just surprised after accidentally seeing a set of photos of Yin Zhihua online a couple of days ago.
He seems to be born to be in the spotlight; every photo he takes is captivating. That set of photos went viral, and the comments below were practically insane.
Kim Cho-wan could not believe that the person in the photo was right next to her.
Their meeting was like an accident.
He just suffered from amnesia and developed a bit of delusions. Putting all that aside, he was still very outstanding: handsome, easy-going, able to play the piano and sing, and even able to chat and laugh with foreigners on the street.
But the more Kim Cho-man thought about it, the more helplessly a sense of shame and inferiority arose within him.
She began to categorize him onto another extended line, one that would only briefly intersect with her and from which they would never meet again.
It seems that only in this way can she maintain her true self and not be troubled or attached to the inevitable separation.
She lowered her head and chuckled softly, then asked Yin Zhihua, whose face was full of expectation, "By the way, it's been so many days, hasn't anyone contacted you?"
Yin Zhihua was still basking in the joy of Jin Chuwan agreeing to go shopping with him when he was suddenly asked this question, and he looked bewildered.
"Contact me? Who?"
He's an outsider from a parallel world. Who will come back to contact him?
Seeing his confusion, Jin Chuwan explained, "I was just thinking that your photos are all over the internet, and if your family sees them, they'll probably come looking for you..."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhihua touched his chin and couldn't help but smile.
"Hmm... So you saw everything?"
He wanted to appear more mature and composed, but he couldn't control himself. To be honest, he was quite confident in his appearance, especially since the photos had been edited in post-production. Yin Zhihua thought to himself while stealing glances at Jin Chuwan.
He said... could you, just a little bit, seduce someone?
Unfortunately, Kim Cho-wan didn't seem to have any ulterior motives.
"With such high popularity, of course I saw it."
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and glanced at the plush rabbit in Yin Zhihua's arms.
It was huge and exaggerated; when he held it in his arms, the whole street seemed to become adorable.
"You're amazing! You found a job that suits you so quickly. If you keep this up, you'll be able to support yourself soon and won't have to squeeze in with me anymore."
Jin Chuwan spoke these words in a congratulatory tone, but as soon as she finished speaking, Yin Zhihua's smile suddenly froze.
The temperature was still very cold tonight, and the damp corners by the roadside were covered with ice. With every breath, mist lingered in my nostrils.
Yin Zhihua subconsciously squeezed the rabbit in his arms tighter.
His eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and a brief look of surprise and grievance flashed in his eyes.
"I, um, I..."
Yin Zhihua seemed somewhat speechless, his glassy eyes narrowed slightly, and they appeared somewhat moist due to urgency and anxiety.
He looked at Jin Chuwan: "What...what did I do that made you dislike me? Is that why you want to kick me out?"
He was happy every day during this time. He even felt that this was a dream that belonged to him and he wanted to keep dreaming about it forever, preferably never waking up.
He didn't want to be separated from Jin Chuwan. He had finally found her and finally come to her side.
He absolutely could not accept that he had been abandoned by Kim Cho-wan twice...
So when he heard Jin Chuwan tell him to leave, he almost lost his composure.
The rabbit doll's paws were slightly deformed from Yin Zhihua's grip. Jin Chuwan looked at his flustered and bewildered expression, but couldn't quite understand it. She didn't know why Yin Zhihua cared so much about and was so attached to her; she could only guess that it stemmed from a special kind of emotion similar to imprinting.
“Yin Zhihua, relax. I don’t mean to kick you out. I just think…” Jin Chuwan paused, then sighed, “Look, I’m unemployed now, and it’s almost the end of the year. I’m without a job or income for the time being. But you, you’re still a living person, and I can tell that the suit you were wearing before wasn’t cheap. I think you have family; you’ve just temporarily forgotten about them. So, no matter what, you’ll have to go home sooner or later. Of course, until then, I could take you in, but you can see I’m struggling to make ends meet. You’ll only suffer if you stay with me…”
Jin Chuwan explained earnestly that she genuinely cared about him.
But Yin Zhihua didn't seem to appreciate it.
"I don't want to! I don't have any! I won't go anywhere but by your side!"
Yin Zhihua answered decisively, his brows furrowed, his gaze fixed on Jin Chuwan.
So Kim Cho-wan had no choice but to nod helplessly.
"Alright then, just pretend I didn't say anything, and go back to your bed on the floor..."
If she doesn't want to, then she doesn't want to. Even if she's terrible, she still has the ability to support herself and others.
Besides, he's just not used to it yet. As time goes by and he sees more people and things, the kindness she showed him will gradually become insignificant and insignificant.
He has already helped her a lot.
She only helped him temporarily out of a moment of pity; she couldn't expect him to repay her for a lifetime.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go home first. We don't have to work starting tomorrow. Thinking about it, I suddenly feel like we should celebrate tonight?"
Although he heard the answer he wanted, Yin Zhihua was still uneasy. He held Jin Chuwan's hand tightly the whole way, and kept nagging at her, trying to imprint his thoughts on her.
"I'm great. You won't lose out by keeping me around. Besides, I'm very useful. I can do all the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and bed warming..."
Yin Zhihua's ears turned red when the topic of warming the bed came up. The two of them had become much closer recently, and he had been having some fantasies. However, Jin Chuwan laughed and shattered his fantasy.
"Warm the bed? I have an electric blanket, and we agreed that you can only sleep on the floor. The bed is mine, so don't even think about it."
Yin Zhihua's expression changed slightly after hearing this. He glanced at Jin Chuwan lightly and muttered under his breath that she was clueless about romance.
Jin Chuwan didn't hear him clearly, so she looked up at him.
But when Yin Zhihua looked at her blank yet clear eyes, he felt both annoyed and amused.
"Aren't we going to celebrate? There's a convenience store up ahead, want to buy some beer to take back?"
beer?
"That's not a good idea, I'm not a big drinker, and I don't think I'm a very good drinker..."
As Jin Chuwan spoke, she glanced warily at Yin Zhihua.
Yin Zhihua admitted that he did have ulterior motives, but her gaze was too hurtful.
"I was just making a suggestion. We were supposed to be celebrating you. And am I that bad? Why are you acting so defensive? I have... eight-pack abs. They kept trying to get me to show them off during the shoot, but I refused!"
After listening, Jin Chuwan couldn't help but glance downwards.
To be honest, this guy looks quite tall and slender.
"...You have abs?"
Eight yuan?
You don't believe me?
Kim Chu-wan honestly shook his head.
She really didn't believe it, after all, Yin Zhihua didn't look like that kind of muscular big guy at all.
Yin Zhihua and Jin Chuwan looked at each other for a moment, then Yin Zhihua chuckled and raised his eyebrows. Jin Chuwan saw him tuck the rabbit under his arm, then pull her along and hurry home.
She stumbled slightly from being pulled, and immediately stopped him, saying, "I said... slow down, the ground is slippery..."
Okay, after saying that, he immediately put his arm around me.
Jin Chuwan probably guessed that Yin Zhihua wanted to prove himself, but she didn't expect him to actually take off his clothes as soon as he got home.
Jin Chuwan kept backing away with her bag in her hands, but Yin Zhihua also approached step by step.
After stripping down to just a short-sleeved T-shirt, he finally stopped moving and placed one hand behind Jin Chuwan's head.
The room was warm, but it felt a bit stuffy for Kim Cho-wan, who was fully dressed.
Yin Zhihua smiled leisurely, then took Jin Chuwan's hand and reached into his clothes.
He lowered his head, his eyes revealing ambiguity and seduction.
"Now that there's no one else around, why don't you hurry up and... confirm it?"
Jin Chuwan felt her cheeks burning. This was the first time in her life she had ever touched a man like this, especially one who was so handsome.
Her hand was guided across her warm skin. Jin Chuwan felt the supple touch between her fingertips and heard the muffled laughter in her ear. For a moment, she felt a dreamlike sensation.
Just like in ancient novels, a courtesan in a brothel insists on being with a poor scholar because of some favor. She now feels that Yin Zhihua is like a courtesan who insists on taking advantage of her.
Jin Chuwan blushed and endured it for a while, but finally couldn't bear it any longer and awkwardly withdrew her hand.
She lowered her head, her tone a mixture of embarrassment and anger, yet she spoke softer and softer.
"That's enough, I understand, I won't count anymore..."
A note from the author: Sorry I'm a little late. It's not that I didn't want to write, but there have been all sorts of things going on at home, and we've been arguing every few days, which has been too exhausting.
However, since it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's not talk about these things.
In the new year, Chunchongjin wishes all readers good fortune, a prosperous Year of the Dragon, and abundant wealth!
