Chapter 8
After a winding journey, upon arriving downstairs, Lin Yue solemnly expressed his gratitude, saying, "The route outside is quite convoluted. If you happen to get lost, feel free to call me."
The individual known as Dan Yi Feng intended to sneak away but was apprehended in time. A group of people restrained him and then moved on to a KTV.
You are a "niche group"
Chen Luchuan followed in and looked around, "The greenery is quite good"
Lin Yue looked at him and said, "Aren't you?"
Lin Yue had his hands in his pockets, his head lowered, counting the tiles beneath his feet
Chen Luchuan's action can be considered quite rude, and Chai Wei, taken aback, leaned over to Lin Yue's ear and asked, "What does he mean by this?"
As the car ascended the grand bridge, the lights along the river sparkled brilliantly. After a moment of silence, Lin Yue suddenly asked, "The prospects for computers abroad are much better; why do you want to return to the country?"
Lin Yueben was exceptionally candid; she felt that although her previous answer could not be considered the truth, it also did not constitute a lie. However, after Chen Luchuan's probing question, she felt somewhat guilty, and her voice became barely audible, "I did not lie."
Chen Luchuan nodded
Lin Yue smiled without speaking and raised the screen for her to see
His hair is somewhat disheveled, and one more button of his shirt is undone compared to usual, giving him a more casual appearance
Chen Luchuan put his phone into his pocket, "It's nothing, I was planning to call my mom, but the phone is out of battery."
Brother Dan, wait a moment
The single peak chuckled, "Alright, alright, is it good now? I have started reporting..."
Wang Peiyuan chuckled and collected all the dice on the table, "Come on, come on, Truth or Dare, the one with the lowest score has to give our Brother Chuan a kiss."
Chen Luchuan replied: "I still prefer domestic food; I am not accustomed to eating abroad"
Chen Luchuan relaxed his body a bit and leaned back, "Two years ago, I went hiking with my classmates and encountered an accident ... ... "
Lin Yue smiled, "I am the same age as you."
Chen Luchuan continued to walk forward, "It turns out it was because of this matter. I had always thought you intended to hold this over the teacher and report it."
However, after the third round of dice was thrown, she could no longer smile
After a while, Wang Peiyuan grabbed a microphone and said, "Just singing is no fun, let's do something entertaining!"
Lin Yue hurriedly followed, "I won't do it."
She changed her number a while ago, and I haven't noted it down yet
As everyone burst into laughter, Wang Peiyuan glanced around, jumped off the stage, and embraced Chen Luchuan, who was sitting on the sofa, saying, "So this is settled, right?"
It was already past twelve when the event ended. Chai Wei had taken a nap and was now awake, accompanying Lin Yue to wait for the bus.
After waiting for a while, a car arrived. Just as Chen Luchuan was about to open the driver's seat, the driver said: "I just spilled the lunch box, the front seat is dirty, please sit in the back."
The time passed too quickly that night, leaving her with a profound sense of melancholy at the moment of parting; thus, she did not truly wish to refuse. She nodded slightly and silently walked inside
Lin Yue also smiled
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Then I will go in," pausing for a moment, "... good night"
Chen Luchuan paused, looking at Lin Yue, "Do you mind?"
Then please answer me once more, why did you help me during the fifth-grade exam
Amidst the colorful lights, his gaze was clear and unclouded, "I want to ask you, during the fifth-grade exam, why did you help me"
Lin Yue opened the door and walked in, approached the elevator entrance, glanced outside, and found Chen Luchuan still standing at the door.
Chai Wei occupied a corner seat, holding that phone box, and regardless of whether anyone was listening or not, she began to ramble on about her long and storied romantic history
Why
How are the housing prices in Jiangcheng now
Sister Qingya, you should have said so earlier. In our studio, there are handsome men. If you want to kiss one, go ahead; if you want to kiss ten, feel free. What do you think
Wang Peiyuan looked at Chen Luchuan and said: "Brother Chuan, if today we open the door to a new world, no need to thank me, I go by the name of Red Scarf."
She felt puzzled in her heart and walked out again, "What happened?"
Zhao Qingya's face turned red suddenly
"Yes, yes, yes, do you only just know?" She was dizzy from the swaying of Chai Wei, and her stomach began to churn, "... I need to go to the restroom."
388
Lin Yue's back stiffened, and he exchanged glances with Chai Wei.
Baffling questions, baffling answers, and everyone is equally perplexed.
Zhao Qingya said: "I definitely cannot listen to you, I will only fight for the benefits of you 'minority groups'. Last time we played a daring game, you kissed three girls all by yourself!"
Lin Yue felt a surge of fear and asked, "Does Aunt Feng know about this?"
I am not
A little girl is climbing on the tree, crying loudly.
Wang Peiyuan released Chen Luchuan and called out: "Come on, keep it coming!"
Chen Luchuan did not examine it closely; he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the wolf dog, then took off running. In this manner, he was chased by the wolf dog all the way until he tripped and fell, unable to escape. He was bitten on the leg, leaving a scar the size of a bowl.
Lin Yue threw the box in his hand to her, "Here, here, here, let me go quickly, I feel like throwing up..."
One cannot live too selfishly, especially considering the feelings of one's parents
She explained to Chen Luchuan, "It's too late, my parents are asleep, and I would have to wake them up when I go back"
Truthful words
Chen Luchuan smiled and said, "Indeed."
Lin Yue glanced at him and asked, "Are you looking to buy a house?"
Well, it is a small apartment that I bought myself
No
Lin Yue quickly shook his head, "It's nothing."
No," Lin Yue said busily, "Go to Changqing Garden.
Chai Wei was so jealous that it gnawed at her heart, and fueled by alcohol, she grabbed Lin Yue's shoulder and shook it back and forth, saying, "Tell me! Have you been black-boxed?"
Lin Yue nodded and pointed to a place ahead where there was light, "There is a fountain over there"
Chen Luchuan said with a smile, "You think of me as too ambitious."
Chen Luchuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "What does it have to do with me"
In the alley outside the family quarters during my childhood, someone kept a wolfdog. That dog had a fierce temperament, barking wildly at anyone, whether familiar or unfamiliar. Usually, the dog was tied up, but one day, for some unknown reason, the leash broke. On that day, Chen Luchuan was returning home and happened to see the dog barking furiously at a tree.
The annual meeting began, and as usual, the leaders gave their speeches. Finally, it was Shan Yifeng's turn. "Before we start eating, how about we kick off with a little activity to warm things up? The boss and I have prepared a few red envelopes for everyone. There aren't many, just fifty in total. Those who are quick will get them, and those who are slow will miss out. Come on, everyone, open your Alipay. I'll announce the code now..."
Chen Luchuan nodded and said, "I will take another look later"
Lin Yue turned around, "What is it?"
Zhao Qingya glanced at Lin Yue and said to Wang Peiyuan, "Well, Brother Wang, I think maybe we could..."
Chai Wei waved her hand and said, "Do as you please, do as you please; after all, I am the emperor, and it is the eunuchs who are anxious."
Uncertain how much time had passed, she heard the footsteps beside her come to a halt, and she immediately stopped as well
I am not that kind of person
I fell asleep at Wang Peiyuan's place. What was the final outcome? Did it come to Zhao Qingya's turn?
She rushed out of the bathroom, gagging for a while but unable to vomit. At this moment, her face was flushed, and her emotions were somewhat heightened. Returning to the hall, Wang Peiyuan organized everyone to go singing
Chai Wei smiled and said, "Ah, all the luck today is on your side"
The location is important, with prices ranging from 20,000 to 30,000, but the average is still around 15,000. Over the past two years, housing prices have decreased slightly
Lin Yue fell silent for a moment before taking a step forward
Zhao Qingya: "... ... Our studio has no handsome men."
Then let's forget it
In the end, everyone saw that Lin Yue had won the largest amount at the table, and before the meal even started, she was penalized to drink three cups. Lin Yue's alcohol tolerance was poor, and she secretly called for help from Chai Wei
Chen Luchuan slightly turned his head, "Why?"
Lin Yue's heart tightened
Lin Yue wanted to smile, but she couldn't. Just thinking about that scene made her feel as if all the bones in her body were aching
Chen Luchuan was surprised, "How did you know I have a scar on my leg"
Lin Yue let out a low "mm".
Chen Luchuan paused for a moment, smiled, "... you are quite good at climbing trees."
The second time, it was another male colleague
Chen Luchuan asked: "Is your new home in Changqing Garden?"
Chen Luchuan pointed to the side and said, "Let's walk for a while"
Lin Yue sighed silently, pinched Chai Wei's finger, and said softly, "Forget it." In the end, he added, "Don't create any opportunities in the future; there is no chance for me and him."
The road was short, and it didn't take long to reach the intersection. Chen Luchuan said, "Let's take a taxi back."
With a mind swirling with a myriad of thoughts, Lin Yue raised his eyes to look at Chen Luchuan
Zhao Qingya eagerly said: "Come on, come on, the next round."
Lin Yue hurriedly said: "No, that is not what I meant... I believe that your career will develop better abroad"
At that time, the dog's owner compensated a substantial amount of money, and afterwards, the dog disappeared, and the alley returned to tranquility
The cold wind of midwinter brushed past her ears, yet it made her cheeks burn. She opened her mouth, only to feel that the voice seemed not to belong to her, "... then let's go charge for a while."
Lin Yue paused in her breathing and slowly raised her eyes to look at him
After waiting for a while, two empty cars arrived in front. Just as Lin Yue was about to pull Chai Wei up, a deep voice suddenly came from behind, "Lin Yue, I need to talk to you about something."
Chen Luchuan chuckled, "Do you think I shouldn't have come back?"
Both individuals fell silent
Chen Luchuan jokingly said, "I dare not let her know; I only mentioned a fracture, and she cried for a week"
The heart softens into a piece, "... ... Has the scar on your leg healed?"
Lin Yue watched from the side, unable to contain his laughter
Although the domestic game market is currently vast, the atmosphere within the industry is not particularly favorable
Of course you can choose, but you need to think carefully. Truth or dare is not necessarily easier; if you are asked something that is difficult for you to answer... Dare is simple, look, Brother Chuan is here, you just go up to him, close your eyes and pout your lips...
A male colleague was about to speak when Chen Luchuan interjected, "I will ask."
Lin Yue did not say anything and nodded.
Chen Luchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "Do you underestimate me?"
Chen Luchuan got into the car and instructed the driver, "First, go to the San San Ling Chemical Factory residential area"
Chen Luchuan asked: "Why did you lie just now?"
Chen Luchuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have finished asking."
Upon arriving at Evergreen Garden, Chen Luchuan followed Lin Yue as they got out of the car
Walking out for several hundred meters, everything around fell silent, with only the sound of the wind brushing past my ears
Chen Luchuan was even more astonished, "Is that person in the tree really you?"
Lin Yue silently thought to himself that it was fortunate Chai Wei went to bed early and did not witness the third round
The family is urging, just take a look first
Are you handsome
Alright, does anyone have any questions
Chai Wei hummed twice, "If you give me the red envelope, I will help you."
Hmm..." Chen Luchuan pondered, "It used to be that way, but now it is not entirely so"
Chai Wei lowered her head and saw that she was still holding onto that phone box. She smiled apologetically and returned it to Lin Yue
Lin Yue hurriedly said, "Just deliver it here, you should hurry back, it's quite late."
Are you getting old
Chai Wei ignored him, supporting her hand, and pushed her back while laughing, "Then I will head back first. Chen Luchuan, remember to take her home after you are done."
Chen Luchuan nodded, "Good night"
Five dice, everyone takes turns rolling. Wang Peiyuan, who is always stirring up trouble, ended up rolling the lowest score on his first turn. He cleared his throat and said, "The game rules are set by me, so I must lead by example. Chuan Ge, I apologize for the inconvenience..." After saying this, he suddenly pulled Chen Luchuan over and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
After finishing the meal, it was time for another round of the lottery. This was the main event, and everyone would win a prize, though the size varied. Lin Yue's good fortune tonight extended far beyond the 388 yuan red envelope; during the lottery, by a stroke of luck, he ended up with an Apple phone.
Lin Yue took out the access card for the community and opened the main gate
Responsible, responsible, responsible! I can manage both the living room and the kitchen
Lin Yue hurriedly took out his own and said, "Use mine."
If a person wants to leave, they may do so; the belongings can stay behind
Lin Yue asked again: "Do you still remember how that scar came to be?"
Lin Yue interrupted Zhao Qingya, "Can I choose truth?"
Chen Luchuan insisted, "I will escort you downstairs"
Later, I was fortunate enough to be rescued. I lay in the hospital for a month, and only after being discharged did I dare to tell my parents, though I still didn't tell them the whole truth. You know, I've never been a very settled person since I was young, but this time I was genuinely a bit scared... He reached back and pointed, "Here, they inserted a steel needle."
She truly does not know what day it is today, with good things coming one after another
Last time he felt surprised, after a separation of six years, Lin Yue actually still remembered that he loved playing basketball
Everyone was laughing so hard that they could hardly breathe, "Wang Peiyuan, have some decency, don't really bend Brother Chuan."
Chen Luchuan smiled and said, "Then you must take responsibility"
Lin Yue's heart raced wildly for a moment, and after a while, he said, "... we are neighbors, it is only right to help you."
Chai Wei: "... ... I just grabbed 18 pieces!" She leaned closer to Lin Yue, "What about you?"
