Chapter 416: Keep your mouth shut to avoid troubles caused by your mouth [ask for monthly ticket]
The warmth exists in my heart at this moment.
Perhaps because she was embarrassed after her lie was exposed, Chen Yuying just snuggled quietly in Lin Li's arms, feeling the sense of security, without saying a word.
It wasn't until she keenly sensed an undisguised, curious gaze that she gently nudged Lin Li and said, "Someone's coming."
Lin Li turned around and saw Zhang Fang looking at him and Chen Yuying with curiosity.
"Grandma Zhang, good morning." Lin Li greeted her gracefully.
"Good morning," Zhang Fang replied with a smile, her eyes curiously fixed on the dazzlingly beautiful girl beside Lin Li, who was now hiding slightly behind him out of shyness.
"Lin Li, the girl next to you is..."
"My girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Lin Li immediately raised their clasped hands to shoulder height and shook them, his tone quite bright.
When I was showing off to Zeng Ziang before, I also told him not to tell people in the community, but things are different now. Since Wu Min already knows about it, it doesn’t matter at all.
Although still shy, Chen Yuying was not an introverted or timid girl. So after hearing Lin Li's introduction, she looked up at Zhang Fang and imitated Lin Li's address, saying in a sweet voice, "Hello, Grandma Zhang."
"Oh oh—you too, you too."
Zhang Fang's eyes first widened slightly, then revealed understanding, and finally turned into a gentle expression of deep kindness and a hint of joking.
Looking at the well-matched young couple in front of her, a smile unconsciously appeared on Zhang Fang's face:
"Grandma, I just... disturbed you, didn't I?"
"It's not a big deal, just a general nuisance." Lin Li waved his hand quickly, indicating that Zhang Fang didn't need to blame herself so much.
"Isn't that still a hindrance, kid—" Zhang Fang scolded with a smile. Lin Li was still as talkative as ever, and then asked, "Are you guys going out to play?"
"right."
"Okay then, grandma won't bother you two anymore. Go play and have fun."
"Okay, thank you, grandma."
After saying goodbye to Zhang Fang, the two continued walking towards the entrance of the community.
However, Lin Li felt that the news of his love affair would spread among the older generations in the community within a day at most - after all, Zhang Fang was the head of the community's intelligence organization and the minister of the community's military affairs department.
Today is the weekend, but it is already a little after eight o'clock, which is a good time for middle-aged and elderly people to exercise. So along the way, in addition to Zhang Fang, we also met many neighbors.
More than half of them knew Lin Li, so almost everyone of them focused their curiosity on Chen Yuying.
Lin Li repeatedly repeated that Chen Yuying was his girlfriend, and then calmly responded to the elders' words, jokes, and distractions.
Chen Yuying was quiet most of the time, and would only nod politely and say hello if she met an enthusiastic elder who asked her a question.
But Lin Li could feel that she was happy.
Because Chen Yuying unconsciously tightened her grip on Lin Li's hand, and as she walked, the amplitude of the shaking of her hand with Lin Li also unconsciously increased little by little, and her steps became lighter.
Everyone is having a great time.
Perhaps the only victim is Zeng Ziang.
Because the elders Lin Li met included Zeng Ziang's mother.
As we all know, after seeing other people's children, the next step is to compare them with your own children.
Maybe when Zeng's mother comes home, she will scold him, "Sleep, sleep, sleep. You just sleep all day and don't know how to do anything else." Zeng Ziang will be confused after being scolded for no reason.
"Are you here to take a taxi?" When they arrived at the gate of the community, Lin Li, who still had no idea where he was going or what he was doing today, looked at Chen Yuying.
"Okay." Chen Yuying nodded and took out her mobile phone to operate it.
Chen Yuying found it a little funny to see Lin Li avoiding her gaze while she was inputting her destination.
"Aren't you curious about where we're going?"
"I want to enjoy my confusion, helplessness and panic. You don't understand, do you?" Lin Li tapped the back of her hand with his fingers and smiled.
"Then I'll sell you out later."
"Can you sell it to your mother? Then I'll help you count the money."
"Sell it to my dad."
"That's truly vicious. The last time I saw such pure malicious behavior was selling funeral services outside a hospital operating room or handing out flyers for retake agencies outside the Gaokao exam hall."
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yuying looked at her phone: "The car is coming soon, and the location is at the intersection. Let's go over."
Chen Yuying took a step forward, but felt her hand being gently pulled by a force - because Lin Li stopped in place.
Chen Yuying turned around and saw Lin Li frowning slightly, his eyes fixed on a car approaching in the distance. His left hand was unconsciously stroking his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Li retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Yuying with a strange expression, pointing to a place not far away: "Squad leader, look at that car."
Chen Yuying looked up when she heard that. Lin Li's residential area was not a busy area. At that moment, there was only one car driving towards this side.
"It should be the taxi we took..." Chen Yuying lowered her head to check her phone, then frowned. "The location is this one, but...why don't the license plate number and car model match?"
Seeing that Chen Yuying hadn't reacted yet, Lin Li's expression became even weirder: "Squad Leader, this car coming over here is yours."
Chen Yuying: “?”
Because Chen Yuying's family has more than one car, she was not very sensitive to this. When Lin Li reminded her of this, she reacted instantly - yes, this seems to be her own car!
It’s the same car that brought me here this morning!
Chen Yuying's gaze fell on the three words "Master Zhuang" displayed on the phone screen.
This Master Zhuang...
At this time, the car skipped the pick-up point without communicating with Chen Yuying or Lin Li on the software, and drove straight to the gate of the community and next to the two of them.
The handlebars on the back seat of the vehicle popped out automatically, and the front window slowly dropped down. In the driver's seat, Zhuang Qiang, wearing a mask, had a stern expression.
"Good morning, everyone! I'm your Didi driver, Mr. Zhuang. It's my pleasure to serve you. The back seats have been cleaned. Please get in and fasten your seatbelts. I'll ensure a safe and smooth ride!"
Lin Li: “(；☉_☉)?”
Why are you so skilled?!
You didn't work in this line of work before, did you?
Chen Yuying: “…”
It’s true (へ╬)!!
Uncle Zhuang! It's not like I won't recognize you if you wear a mask!
"Uncle Zhuang, why are you here?" Chen Yuying frowned slightly.
"Part-time job," Zhuang Qiang looked away, feeling a bit guilty. "Boss Chen and Boss Song said that as long as it doesn't affect my main job, it's fine for me to make some extra money after work."
"Uncle Zhuang, does it really have nothing to do with my mother?" It doesn't matter whether it's a part-time job or not, this is what Chen Yuying cares about most.
"No." Zhuang Qiang said firmly.
"So you're just working part-time?" Lin Li asked.
"right."
Lin Li: "'Driver-vehicle mismatch' is an extremely serious violation in the ride-hailing industry. Reporting it to the transportation management department will result in a fine of between 10,000 and 30,000 RMB. Reporting it to the platform will result in a permanent account ban."
"Therefore, drivers who want to make money will never take such a big risk to accept orders. At least they will get a fake license."
Zhuang Qiang: “…”
Damn, why is there still Sherlock Holmes?
Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying expressionlessly: "Captain, cancel the order. I'll pay for the driver's compensation."
Chen Yuying also had a blank expression: "Just click Cancel."
"This, this—" Zhuang Qiang scratched his head, knowing he couldn't fool anyone anymore, so he smiled awkwardly, took off his mask, and confessed the real reason:
"Just now, Ms. Song knew that you had entered the residential complex and had not come out, so she asked me to confirm whether you had arrived in Puchun safely so that she could rest assured.
But I didn't dare to ask, so I just used my previous online ride-hailing account to see if I could get your order...
Then... I took orders out of habit..."
Chen Yuying took the phone back from Lin Li's hand and pouted slightly in dissatisfaction: "I'll ask my mom."
Lin Li reached out and held Chen Yuying's hand and the phone, smiling and saying, "It seems that you're not the only one who thinks that my house is doomed. Auntie feels the same way."
"It's human nature, no need to ask."
Zhuang Qiang’s explanation makes sense.
Through the previous casual chat with Wu Min, Chen Yuying's mother should know that she is usually alone at home and Wu Min is not there.
Knowing this condition, I learned that Chen Yuying did not take a taxi with me to the destination today as she had said before, but went directly into my community. Even if Chen Yuying's mother is indeed open-minded, she has never really had contact with me after all, and she has only heard about my character from hearsay, so it is normal for her to be worried.
Chen Yuying also thought of it, but was still a little unhappy.
Seeing this, Lin Li gently pinched her cheek and said, "It's obvious that you usually act too fond of me at home. I guess you always shout "I want Lin Li, I want Lin Li" in your sleep, right?
Auntie thought you were a love-brained person, with no boundaries in front of me, and that I would play you into her hands, so she was worried. Alas, I can only blame my charm for being too great. It's my fault."
"Shameless, narcissistic, who would shout like that?" Chen Yuying hit Lin Li helplessly and amusedly.
But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his mood brightened, and he smiled again and nodded: "Okay, I won't ask anymore, I'll call another taxi."
In fact, Lin Li originally planned to get in Zhuang Qiang's car and let him take them to their destination - this way, Chen's mother could rest assured. However, considering that Chen Yuying's mood, which had just improved, would probably get worse again, he did not deny Chen Yuying.
He turned to ask Zhuang Qiang: "Uncle Zhuang, is it okay for us to take a taxi in front of you?"
Zhuang Qiang also knew that his previous operation was a bit problematic, and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, Master Lin...
People are really different from each other. When Chen Yuying called him "Young Master", Lin Li felt very comfortable, but when others called him "Young Master", Lin Li felt goose bumps all over his body, and it didn't sound right no matter how he called him.
Soon, the real online taxi arrived, and the two got in and set off.
After the car drove a little further, Chen Yuying couldn't help but look back out the rear window: "Didn't you follow me?"
Lin Li also turned around, scanned the area, and after not finding any suspicious people, he shook his head: "No one for now."
Hearing this conversation, the driver couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.
No? What kind of order did I take? Someone is actually following me?
Are you two having a grand escape here in the sunshine?
After confirming that Zhuang Qiang hadn't come along, Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying and asked, "So, our destination today is Puchun Town?"
"Yeah." Since Zhuang Qiang had just said it, Chen Yuying had no intention of hiding it and admitted it directly.
"I don't know much about Puchun and I've never been there, so it all depends on you." Lin Li smiled and spread out his hands.
"Of course, no problem." Chen Yuying's eyes curved, full of confidence. She then took out a bag of assorted fruit candies from her bag. "What flavor do you want?"
“Smoked ham.”
Chen Yuying picked out a red lychee-flavored fructose candy for Lin Li.
"Yawn—" After holding hands and watching the street scenes passing by outside the window for a while, Lin Li suddenly yawned and looked at Chen Yuying with a bit of laziness and tiredness: "You got up too early, I'm a little sleepy."
Chen Yuying was not considerate this time. Instead, she glared at Lin Li in dissatisfaction:
"Corporal Lin, what did you promise me yesterday? You said you would get a good rest last night. After you said goodnight to me last night, did you go play games and watch videos again?"
Chen Yuying has heard of the four ultimate lies on the Internet.
They are "Laughing to death", "I am over 18 years old", "I have carefully read and agreed to the above terms", and "Sleep".
For many people, posting about falling asleep on the Internet does not mean they are actually going to sleep.
Instead, it refers to the whole process of "quitting all chats + playing games for a while + browsing Weibo and WeChat Moments for half an hour + watching videos for a while + feeling a little excited + falling asleep".
"Actually, I had a good rest last night, but I don't know why I feel inexplicably sleepy now." Lin Li blinked and said innocently.
Chen Yuying shook her head suspiciously: "I don't believe it."
“Really, really.”
"Then swear that you didn't lie to me."
"That won't work."
Chen Yuying crossed her arms and looked at Lin Li silently, her eyes saying "See, I knew it."
"The first half of my statement, 'I actually had a good rest last night,' is true, but the second half isn't. That's why I can't swear to it," Lin Li added with a smile. "I'm not sleepy for no apparent reason. I know exactly why I'm sleepy."
"Why?"
Lin Li didn't answer immediately. Instead, he moved a little further away. Under Chen Yuying's puzzled gaze, he naturally lay down on his side, resting his head on her soft, warm thighs, and yawned contentedly.
"Because I fall asleep as soon as I see the pillow."
Chen Yuying now knew what this guy's purpose was.
Why are you so sleepy?
The drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in what's between his legs.
Lying on his side on Chen Yuying's legs, Lin Li could feel the warmth and elasticity of her skin through her clothes on his cheek, and the faint, pleasant fragrance of her body lingered on his nose.
Cool.
Chen Yuying's body was a little stiff, with the shyness and tension unique to young girls, but she soon relaxed.
Seeing Lin Li lying comfortably with his head tilted to the side and his eyes deliberately closed, as if he had fallen asleep, Chen Yuying raised her hand high as if to hit him, but her hand became gentle when it fell.
My heart felt like it was being gently scratched by a feather, soft and itchy. In the end, I just felt a little angry and used my fingers to comb his hair, which had been groomed in the morning but was now a little messy.
Looking at him like this, I feel more of a warm feeling of being completely relied upon and loved.
"You blow-dried your hair and sprayed something on it. All the effects will be gone if you lie down." Chen Yuying reminded him gently, her fingertips circling around the ends of his hair, feeling the slightly hard hair texture.
"You can fix your hair if it falls flat," Lin Li opened his eyes and looked up into her clear eyes with a smile, "If you miss the lap pillow, you really miss it. I know what's more important than what's less important."
After a rigorous analysis, I am now lying on my side, my face facing outwards, and my eyes are closer to my knees, so I can look Chen Yuying in the eye.
If I lie on my side facing Yingbao, oh no, I won’t be able to look at her.
Yingbao, Ying!
"Tsk..." Chen Yuying made a soft sound, and after a few seconds, she said softly:
"Who said that if you missed it, you missed it? I didn't say that I won't let you lie down in the future."
"Haha." Lin Li sneered:
Don't be so stubborn, squad leader. If Ding Ding and Jiu Jiu see me with my knee pillow, as long as they both try to comfort me, you will immediately kick me up to the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun with an unbeatable knee-jerk reaction. If you don't do that at that time, you can say "I didn't stop you from lying down"!
Perhaps it was because Lin Li's description was too vivid, Chen Yuying really imagined Lin Li being kicked away in her mind, and the girl burst out laughing.
Then he curled his lips, not looking at Lin Li, but also not denying: "I don't have your thick skin..."
These two people are really a nuisance, we have to find a way to get rid of them.
Lin Li thought for a while and looked at Chen Yuying again:
"Squad leader, can you please ask them if they want to make a lot of money? My friend has a company in northern Myanmar, and it's booming. If they go there now, they'll get food and accommodation, and the work will be easy and the pay will be high. Ask them if they're interested."
"Go to sleep and don't commit fraud." Chen Yuying smiled and reached out to gently cover his mouth.
"abnormal!"
Chen Yuying wiped the saliva from her palm on Lin Li's face and said in embarrassment.
"The tongue accidentally fell out due to gravity." Lin Li explained.
“Pah.”
Chen Yuying didn't say anything, but just responded with a light slap.
Lin Li continued to lie there, and Chen Yuying continued to play with Lin Li's face and hair.
Lin Li was not sleepy at all. It was impossible for him to fall asleep. He was more enjoying the softness of his cheek. He kept his eyes open, occasionally looking forward, and occasionally looking at Chen Yuying.
"What's this."
While lying on Chen Yuying's legs, Lin Li's vision changed greatly. At this moment, he noticed that there seemed to be a piece of cardboard in the gap next to the main driver's seat. As it was a good time to play dumb to divert attention, he reached out and pulled it out.
It's a sign that can be hung.
"Hello, passenger. I'm mute. If possible, please tell me your phone number when you get on the bus. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you."
"Hmm? Uncle, can't you speak? Why do you have this brand on your car?"
Lin Li stood up with some confusion and asked while showing the sign to the driver.
——As soon as we got in the car, the driver asked for the last digit of our cell phone numbers. He is definitely not mute.
"Oh, this thing." The driver glanced at what Lin Li was holding and understood. He smiled and explained:
"I'm not a very talkative person, and I don't like talking much. Sometimes I get a headache when I encounter passengers who like to chat."
"If I pay attention, it's a bit annoying. If I don't, I'll get a bad review. So I just put up a sign like this. It's quite effective and saves a lot of trouble."
Lin Li raised his eyebrows slightly, it really works.
"Then why don't you hang up now? I see you don't like to talk anymore." Lin Li asked again.
"Oh." The driver sighed.
"Last time, a passenger felt sorry for me and gave me a red envelope of 88 yuan. I, I... well, I couldn't help but say thank you, boss."
Lin Li and Chen Yuying: “?”
As if he was talking about something sad, the driver's face became even more sad and helpless:
"As a result, not only did I lose the money, but he also reported my behavior to the platform, and the platform also fined me 300 yuan in deposit. How could I dare to post it again?"
