Chapter 167: Twenty-three-year-old fool, extend your right hand...
Shi Can called Lin Zhuyue.
Within seconds, the call was connected.
Shi Chan asked, "Are you still asleep?"
"Sleeping? I just finished working overtime."
Lin Zhuyue was holding her high heels in her left hand, her laptop bag in her right, and a pair of pink and white sneakers on her feet. Her phone was in her pocket, and she had a Bluetooth headset paired with her bracelet in her ears. She complained to Shi Can,
"In today's workplace, women are treated like men and men are treated like animals. It's already 4 a.m. and I can't even buy a midnight snack."
Lin Zhuyue completed her undergraduate and graduate studies abroad before returning to China. Following Ling Yuanche's advice, she joined the grassroots to gain a deeper understanding of the family business. Although she earned overtime pay, exceeding 20,000 or even 30,000 yuan a month, Lin Zhuyue was still on the verge of collapse from this grueling life of leaving work at 4 a.m. and returning to work at 8 a.m.
"Why are you still awake?"
Lin Zhuyue opened the back door of the car, threw her high heels and computer bag in, closed the door again, and got into the driver's seat.
"Don't tell me, let me guess, I just finished the mission."
Shi Chan praised: "How smart."
Lin Zhuyue drove back to her single apartment. After unlocking the door with her key, she saw Shican wearing a bathrobe, lying on her lazy sofa, holding her high-heeled glass in his hand.
Lin Zhuyue: "...?"
"The mission will be carried out in Shanghai."
Shi Chan shook the red wine in the glass and said,
"So I came to see you."
Lin Zhuyue asked, "How did you get in?"
Lin Zhuyue looked at the bottle of wine on the table. This bottle of wine was given to her by Ling Yuanche and was worth about 150,000 yuan. Shi Can drank it before he sobered up, which was a waste of money.
But Lin Zhuyue didn't lose his temper——
Shi Can himself is a gift made of money, much more valuable than wine. If a gift is wasted, it can be considered... worth it?
"To pick the lock."
Shi Can said lightly,
"You don't even have a house number here. Luckily I didn't pry open the wrong door, otherwise I might have been caught by the police and you would have had to go to the police station to pick me up in the middle of the night."
"What do you want for a midnight snack? You don't seem to have much food here. Can I make you a bowl of noodles?"
"I'll change the fingerprint lock later."
Lin Zhuyue put his things away and said,
"Just order takeout and buy breakfast later."
Shi Chan asked, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”
Lin Zhuyue threw the question back: "Will you let me sleep?"
Shi Can was not so inhumane. He did not bother Lin Zhuyue who got off work in the early morning. He just hugged her for a while after she took a shower. While hugging her, Lin Zhuyue fell asleep.
I don’t know if it’s because she lacked love when she was young, but Lin Zhuyue likes hugs very much when she grows up. When she is hugged, she feels fulfilled, safe, and loved. Her tired spirit will soon relax completely, as if she has taken sleeping pills.
Shi Can ordered porridge for her, and when the takeaway arrived, he woke Lin Zhuyue up. Although she was very sleepy, it would be better for her to eat something, otherwise her stomach would be upset.
Lin Zhuyue was drinking porridge while typing on her mobile phone.
Shi Chan asked, "Can't you let go of your work?"
Lin Zhuyue placed the phone upside down on the table:
"No, I'm taking a leave of absence."
Shi Can knew that Lin Zhuyue had asked for leave because of him. He couldn't help laughing, but he managed to hold back his expression and asked:
"You've only been working for less than a month and you're asking for leave?"
"Yes, if it were an ordinary employee, he would definitely be fired."
Lin Zhuyue drank porridge leisurely and said,
"Young Master, you seem to be quite knowledgeable about these things in the workplace, even though you've never been involved in the family business."
Shi Chan said: "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen a pig run."
After a while, Shi Can said unhappily:
"You didn't even come to see me after you returned home, and you just went straight to working overtime every day."
"Master, wake up. My records of studying at the Spiritual Master Academy and working as a special agent in the special department have all been deleted. I can't even enter Tiancheng. How can I come to see you?"
Lin Zhuyue pushed the unopened bowl of porridge in front of Shi Can and said,
"I want to enter Tiancheng again, but I can only do so after I get my marriage certificate with you... This is ridiculous. To keep my record clean, the property deed for the Ling family mansion has to be in your name. I can't even go back and burn incense for my ancestors."
It's really ridiculous.
Shi Chan couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Zhuyue said angrily, "Are you still laughing?"
Shi Can sat at the table and said:
"Then marry me quickly. When the time comes, I will return the old house to you, add your name to all the properties under my name, and my family business will also belong to you."
"What a bargain, isn't it?"
Lin Zhuyue is 23 years old this year. Lin Lang thinks it is too early and it would be better to date her for a few more years.
The Shi family's attitude was different. Cui Yi was eager for Lin Zhuyue to become a member of her family immediately. She and Shi Yingshao had already moved to Fendao, and the house was vacated for Shi Can and Lin Zhuyue.
It's not popular these days for newlyweds to live with their elders.
I also bought a new house in Shanghai, which is over 300 square meters, but it has not been completed yet.
Lin Zhuyue drank his porridge and asked:
"By the way, I heard from Miyan that you plan to be a teacher?"
"Well, the Spiritual Master's Mansion talked to me and said that I know a lot and they hope that I can serve in the Spiritual Master Academy and teach the students as unreservedly as possible."
Shi Can held his face with one hand and said,
"How outrageous! With my temper, I'm supposed to be a teacher..."
Lin Zhuyue also found it outrageous.
As Shi Can got older, his temper improved a bit, not as stubborn as before, but compared to a normal person, he was still very stubborn. If he became a teacher, wouldn't he beat his students every day? Beat them once for no reason, and more than once for something wrong.
After drinking the porridge, the two of them lay on the bed, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
It was not until the afternoon that they both woke up one after another.
After regaining consciousness, Lin Zhuyue began to nibble on Shi Can's mouth. She deliberately used her canine teeth to bite - her canine teeth were quite sharp and it hurt a lot when she bit them.
Shi Can, who was still drowsy, was woken up by her bite. He reached out to touch the small umbrella that had been placed under the pillow, turned over and pressed Lin Zhuyue underneath.
After that, they both went to take a shower and started having sex again while taking a shower.
Lin Zhuyue felt a little sore in the waist. After Shi Can left, she had to go buy some oysters to replenish her energy.
As for why I didn't buy it when Shi Chan was here——
If she did that, she wouldn't know who would get hurt, and her waist would probably only get more sore.
In the evening, they went out to eat and went shopping.
Lin Zhuyue saw a bag she liked at Hermès, but she didn't swipe her own card, nor did she ask for Shican's card directly. Instead, she cleared her throat and said to Shican:
"Do you remember how you treated me when I first transferred to the academy? You said, 'Is the principal your relative?'"
Shi Can: “…”
Shi Chan took a deep breath and immediately said to the teller:
"I want this bag, wrap it up."
After Lin Zhuyue got the bag, she smiled contentedly.
Shi Chan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was scared to death.
Lin Zhuyue has been studying at a world-class university in Britain in recent years. The academic pressure is very high, especially at the end of the semester. She can stay in the library for several days in a row, without eating or sleeping, and survives entirely on coffee.
During those days every semester, Shi Can didn't dare to call Lin Zhuyue, because while they were on the phone, Lin Zhuyue would ask him what he was doing. If he said he was eating bagels or drinking milk tea, Lin Zhuyue would sneer because of her ugly jealousy and then start bringing up old things.
Shi Chan tries to circumvent this situation by not calling Lin Zhuyue during finals.
But he was also afraid that Lin Zhuyue would die in the library.
He had to frequently call or send messages to confirm whether Lin Zhuyue was still alive. But when the calls and messages came, Lin Zhuyue, who was studying hard, wanted to go crazy.
Ye Yangjia, Gong Yongyuan, and Feng Yuansi had run into Shi Can several times sitting on the stairwell, chomping on half a bagel or a cup of milk tea while dropping pearls. The most bully in the history of the Spiritual Master Academy was actually a softie who would only cry when he argued with his girlfriend. It was hilarious.
Then they were beaten up by Shican.
Ye Yangjia, who was beaten, asked:
"Won't you tell her that you're also cramming for the final?"
Shi Chan asked, "Do you think this fits the character?"
Ye Yangjia: “…”
Shi Can was always lazy during exams. He could even sleepwalk through the exams with his eyes closed and still get full marks. The only two situations where he might be busy during this period were when he had to take a temporary emergency mission or write an apology for beating up a senior or junior.
"Besides, you have to be honest when you're in love."
Shi Can wiped away his tears and said,
"Drinking milk tea and eating bagels will only lead to quarrels, while lying will lead to breakups."
He only wanted to have this one relationship in his life, and only wanted to love this one person. No matter if she had a good temper or liked to bring up the past, he just liked her, hopelessly.
So he would never lie to Lin Zhuyue.
He wants to give this person sincere and long-lasting love.
Shi Can turned around and looked at Lin Zhuyue, who was carrying the bag and smiling. He finally reacted and said with a stern face:
"You did it on purpose."
"Yeah, on purpose."
Lin Zhuyue took out a small gift box from her bag, put it in Shican's hand, and said,
"It's a gift for another... a collar pin, pure gold, with diamonds."
Shi Can: “…”
He held the gift box and turned his head away.
He had to admit, he was coaxed into it.
They went to ride the Ferris wheel on the roof of the mall.
The night view of the big city is beautiful, but Lin Zhuyue's eyes fell on Shi Can's face without blinking.
Shi Chan asked, “Don’t you want to see the night view?”
"Hmm...how should I put it?"
Lin Zhuyue tilted her head, smiled softly, and said,
"You look much better than the night view, boyfriend."
Shi Can: “…”
After a while, Shi Chan said:
"Actually, I also prepared gifts when I came to Shanghai this time."
He rummaged through his pockets and took out a platinum diamond ring. He knelt on one knee in front of Lin Zhuyue and said:
"Maybe it's a little early. I won't be able to use it anytime soon... But when I was browsing the jewelry store, I saw it and couldn't take my eyes off it. All I could think of was giving it to you."
"Lin Zhuyue, are you willing to accept it?"
Lin Zhuyue was stunned for a moment, then she stretched out her hand.
Shi Can smiled helplessly: "Stupid, stretch out your right hand."
