Chapter 31 Farewell, Young and Beautiful College Girl
Seeing Xiao Peng so excited, Pascal tried to persuade him, "Xiao, don't get excited. The TV station is handling this matter right now! The problem right now is that the program has to be temporarily pulled because it involves a legal case! Later filming will also be suspended. I'm telling you this so you can be mentally prepared, in case they come looking for you and you're unprepared!"
This really touched Xiao Peng. Fabian had said that Pascal was quite withdrawn and had few friends due to his childhood experiences. He was a loner in his family, and only had a close relationship with Fabian. That night was the first time Fabian had seen Pascal drunk!
Although he looked a little ugly, you could tell he was genuinely happy!
Even Fabian couldn't understand how Pascal could be friends with Xiao Peng, someone he'd only met once. But sometimes the relationships between people are so hard to explain.
The fact that he came here to find Xiao Peng for this matter showed that he really regarded Xiao Peng as a friend. If an autistic person recognizes someone, it is absolutely heartfelt.
Xiao Peng made this friend!
Xiao Peng nodded. "Brother, you're a real brother! I won't say anything nice. We have a long way to go. By the way, how did you find me?"
Pascal pointed out the window and said, "I'm a graduate of Aix-Marseille University. I keep an eye on the campus forum when I have nothing to do. Today, someone posted a message saying that Xiao from 'Dancing with Sharks' is here. He also posted the coordinates of the cafe and advertised it."
Xiao Peng tilted his head and looked at Michelle. This must have been done by him!
Michelle shrugged and said, "Xiao, you can't let me just lose money and not make any money, right? This is mutually beneficial for us. Just think about it, a group of young and beautiful college girls will surround you soon. Isn't this what every man yearns for?"
Xiao Peng gave him the middle finger: "I don't like this!"
Pascal said, "Don't give me that! Do you know how hard it was for me to find you? I even went to C2! The famous 'Asian Love Saint', the master who never fails in picking up girls!"
"How do you know I lived in C2?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Pascal laughed and said, "Marseille is such a small place, it's really easy to find someone. It's even easier to ask about you in the Old Port of Marseille. Many people know about your life after your sudden wealth! To be honest, I didn't believe you would be here reading a book honestly at first. I thought you were pulling some stunt!"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, doesn't they? Reading helps one understand things. It wasn't long ago, but I've grown up now. Sometimes I feel ashamed of what I've done. Of course, it's done, and people must take responsibility for their actions. I can only explain this in eight words: 'youthful and reckless youth.'"
Pascal gave a thumbs-up. "I admire your shamelessness. It's only been a few days and you're talking about 'youth'!"
"I'm talking about mental age!" Xiao Peng said seriously, "Sometimes it only takes one night for a man to mature!"
It's a shame Pascal is just a bit autistic, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. If he were truly stupid, how could he be so good at making money? He said to Xiao Peng, "If it's really like what I told you, you should be dragging me away now, right? Why are you still sitting here? Aren't you just waiting for the 'crowd of beautiful young university students' that Michelle mentioned to surround you?"
Xiao Peng was melancholy after hearing this. How come people are so smart nowadays? They are not easy to fool!
He shook his head after hearing this. "Pascal, we're friends. I never thought I'd be in your mind like this. I just wanted to let you rest after seeing you come all this way. Never mind. I'll return the book and leave right now, but what you just said really hurts me!"
"Where are you going after leaving here?" Pascal asked.
Xiao Peng replied, "First, find a place to live. I mean rent a house, and then continue to recharge yourself! Don't forget that I haven't even visited your database yet!"
Pascal thought for a moment and said, "Would you like to be my neighbor?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
"That's exactly what it means." Pascal said, "The house next to mine is also mine. It's been empty for a long time and you can move in."
Xiao Peng was not happy after hearing this, but shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I won't go!"
"Why?" Pascal didn't understand why Xiao Peng refused.
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "Pascal, I'm still worried about how to get into your database in Cape Adeg, and you invited me to stay there? I'm really not a nudist!"
Pascal couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. After laughing for a long time, he held back his laughter and said, "Okay, I admit that my grandparents are both nudists, so they left the old house and the database in Cape Adegue. But now the database is there purely for safety reasons. How can we go to Cape Adegue and steal things and take them out if we are all naked? Our family's most valuable wealth has never been money, real estate, stocks, or antiques, but knowledge! I don't live in Cape Adegue, I live in La Ciotat. Believe me, you will definitely like it there."
Xiao Peng then remembered what Fabian had mentioned during dinner that night. After a moment's thought, he said, "You might not know, but the boat I'm staying on belongs to a Parisian. I promised to look after it for him in exchange for living on it. I may be rich now, but I'll keep my promise. I'll continue to look after the boat."
Pascal said generously, "I have six berths at La Ciotat Pier. Why don't you just drive your boat over there? I guarantee you'll be able to see your boat when you open the window!"
Xiao Peng was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Damn rich people!"
"But you're a rich man now!" Pascal said, "It's settled!"
Xiao Peng thought about it. After all, he would have to check the Cousteau family archives and possibly deal with the Cousteau Diving Association. Being Pascal's neighbor might be a good thing, so he nodded and said, "Okay. How much is the rent?"
"Don't mention rent. You showed me your friendship last time with the 'Silver Buttons' incident. Now it's my turn to show you mine! Let's go now and show you your new home. Believe me, you'll definitely be satisfied!" Pascal seemed very excited at the thought of being neighbors with Xiao Peng. There was no sign of any personality problems with him.
But Xiao Peng was very depressed:
Farewell, Aix, farewell, pure and beautiful college girl...
