Jeans and a white shirt.
The young man in front of them was dressed in a very simple way but looked extremely handsome. Even though he didn’t have the mature glamour that Jiang Rui had, he looked very bright and vigorous.
“You’re Monsignor Dragon King?” Ah Zi walked to him, “I’m Purple Lolita!”
Those were the names they had in the game. Bear twitched his mouth behind them.
“Hi!” The man reached out his hand and said, “As I expected, you’re a beautiful lady!”
Ah Zi covered her mouth and smiled. “You’re very handsome too, more handsome than I expected!”
“Haha, then maybe we should find a place to chat?”
Ah Zi pointed at a cafeteria on the opposite side of the road and offered, “Let’s go there!”
“And your friend…”
“He…”
“I’m her bodyguard!” Bear interrupted Ah Zi, “I’ll go too.”
Ah Zi stared at him and Bear stared back. His expression seemed to be telling ‘if you didn’t let me go, you can’t go either.’
“Let’s go together!” The guy smiled brightly and said, “My treat!”
The three of them sat in the cafeteria and chatted. They came to know that the man was called Long Zhen’ao and was a designer for printed advertisements.
“This time I’ll live here for a while and will bother Ah Zi to show me around!”
Ah Zi kept the smile on her face as she replied, “No problem! Have you found a place to live yet?”
“A company has rented a house for me because I work for them.” Long Zhen’ao took a look at Bear and said, “Your bodyguard seems to be very angry, doesn’t he?”
Since the moment Bear walked in, he seemed very unhappy. Ah Zi rolled her eyes at him and said, “Forget about him. He’s going through his climacteric period.”
When they parted, Ah Zi gave Long Zhen’ao a card of the store and invited him to visit when he had the time.
“Aren’t you afraid that he may be a bad person?” Bear drove her back and kept mumbling on the road.
Ah Zi punched him and said, “Shut up or I’ll get out of the car.”
The next day, when Chen Chen was in the store, she asked about the situation that happened the day before. Ah Zi complimented Long Zhen’ao greatly. But Chen Chen focused on the facts.
“You said Bear was there too?”
“Yes.” Ah Zi was eating melon seeds when she said, “He couldn’t see me be happy and went to destroy.”
Chen Chen remembered what Jiang Rui said and stopped to think whether she should tell Ah Zi that Bear liked her.
“What do you think of Bear?” She decided to ask her a few questions first.
“Just so-so.” Ah Zi rolled the eyes and continued, “He looks like a primitive man and his brain is blunt. I wonder why the God of War took him as his soldier.”
Chen Chen rubbed her fingers and said, “I think Bear is very handsome. He is tall, strong and can give you a sense of safety. And he is great!” Chen Chen emphasized, “Brother Xiao Rui said Bear had competed with Wan Wu and he could defeat three of them at a time!”
“It’s impossible!” Ah Zi drank some water, “Wan Wu told me when he was teaching me kung fu that it took only one person’s strength to knock Bear down.”
Chen Chen lifted the phone, “I will ask my brother!”
After a few words, she hung up. “Wan Wu lied! My brother said that the fight between him and Bear ended in a tie.”
“So what!” Ah Zi curled her lips and said, “Why are you investing so much effort in complimenting him?”
Chen Chen said the truth without hesitation, “Because Brother Xiao Rui said that he likes you.”
“Puff…” Ah Zi spurted out the plum candy which she had just placed in her mouth. She said, “He told the God of War?”
“I don’t know.” Chen Chen shook her head honestly. “Anyway, brother Xiao Rui told me that he liked you.”
Ah Zi knew Chen Chen wouldn’t tell a lie, so she became a little arrogant. “Hmm, he likes me, so what? I like the handsome boy type like Long Zhen’ao!
“You don’t even know what he does for a living or where he comes from!” Chen Chen glared and said, “You may get cheated.”
Then, in the afternoon, Chen Chen saw the man Ah Zi had been talking about the whole day.
“Hello! I’m Long Zhen’ao.” The man was very polite.
Chen Chen shook hands with the man. “Hi.”
“This is my best friend, Chen Chen.” Ah Zi was busy introducing them, “Come here, I will show you around our store. If you like anything, just tell me! I’ll give you a 20 percent discount.”
Long Zhen’ao laughed and said, “I thought you would send me one!”
“Ah, you travelled a long way to get here. I have to give you a chance to show your generosity!” Ah Zi said shamelessly, “I’ll treat you to a meal in return!”
After their encounter in the afternoon, Chen Chen found that Long Zhen’ao was pretty nice indeed. He was humorous and outgoing. She didn’t have many friends of her age, so she felt very interested and fresh around him. When Jiang Rui went to pick her up, he saw the three of them sitting together and playing poker.
“Brother Xiao Rui!” Chen Chen saw him go in and happily introduced, “This is Ah Zi’s friend in the game, Long Zhen’ao.”
Long Zhen waved to Jiang Rui and said, “You are the brother Chen Chen’s mouth has not left alone, who is said to be very great! Nice to see you.”
Jiang Rui didn’t reach out with his hand. He just nodded plainly and said, “Hi.”
“That’s the way he is. Don’t mind him!” Chen Chen was worried that Long Zhen’ao would mistake his behavior and hurriedly explained.
Long Zhen’ao shook his head smilingly and replied, “No, I won’t! Since he is here to get you, I should also go home.”
“Come on, let’s go to dinner together!” Ah Zi put the stuff in order and said, “Chen Chen, you can go home with your God of War.”
Chen Chen got in the car with unwillingness and was still watching after Jiang Rui had driven a long way.
“Do you like that man?” Jiang Rui’s face was dark.
“Ah?” Chen Chen sat still and looked at him. “I just don’t hate him. It’s rare for me to run into someone of my age, so we had a delightful chat.”
Jiang Rui’s eyes were very dark. “You think I’m old?”
“Ah?” Chen Chen felt that the man was talking strangely that day.
Jiang Rui looked at her, “Do you think I’m old?”
“No!” Chen Chen touched her face. “I think you’re very handsome, more handsome than my elder brother!”
“Really?” Jiang Rui curled his lips.
Not knowing whether it was her illusion or not, Chen Chen felt the man beside her suddenly became happier and was extremely happy from then on.
“What do you want to eat?” While in a good mood, the man touched her head.
Chen Chen’s heart trembled and felt Jiang Rui had become even more attractive…
“Where is Tuan Zi?” Chen Chen thought of her daughter.
“She was taken by the Wen family again.” Jiang Rui’s tone changed as he spoke, “I have to talk to Wen Pintang someday.”
They took Tuan Zi to their home every few days. And they even especially picked up Hei Zi in case Tuan Zi might miss it.
Chen Chen didn’t have so many thoughts about the matter. She heard that Tuan Zi’s dinner was done, and began to think for herself, “We can eat roasted meat at the night market!”
“Okay…” Jiang Rui agreed after a moment of hesitation. He didn’t want Chen Chen to eat so much meat in the evening, which would be difficult to digest. But when he thought about the weather which was getting colder and colder and the next chance they could have roasted meat might be in the spring, so he said yes!
They arrived at the night market and bumped into Bear there.
“Master!” Bear happily ran to them. “Let’s sit together!”
Chen Chen looked at their seats and said, “No.”
Jiang Rui glanced and said, “Let’ go. We’ll stay far from them.”
“No…” Bear seemed bitter.
He felt very unlucky. He had intended to find Ah Zi but ran into Song Ci halfway. Song Ci was talking to a police officer by the road about something; he was curious and asked about it. At last, he found that her purse had just been robbed.
So he was left with no other choice but to take her to eat and then find a hotel for her to live in.
“Officer Jiang won’t come here?” Song Ci hurriedly asked the minute he went back. In fact, she was pretty worried by then. She was nervous and feared that Jiang Rui and Chen Chen would actually go there.
Bear was upset. “The two of them don’t want to be bothered.”
“Haha, Officer Jiang seems to love his wife a lot.” Song Ci was clever. She knew what to say to arouse Bear’s interest.
As she expected, after she spoke, Bear began to introduce how nice Jiang Rui was to Chen Chen. Song Ci was very cooperative and uttered her surprise at the proper time, which made the meal very delightful.
Afterwards, Bear took them to the hotel. On the way, she politely apologized.
“It’s such a big trouble for you. My cousin is on a business trip, I can return home tonight.”
Bear replied carelessly, “Don’t be so polite. It’s just a small help. You should be glad that you live with your cousin, or you would have to break the lock to get in.”
“Haha!” Song Ci covered her mouth and smiled.
When they were at the hotel, Bear didn’t want to go upstairs at first, but Song Ci said she was afraid to take the elevator. Bear didn’t think much about it and naturally accompanied her upstairs. Song Ci also bought a few cans of black tea in the supermarket by the gate.
“The water in the hotel tastes strange and I don’t want to drink it.” She opened one can after she went into the elevator. Then, after they arrived at the door of her room, Bear opened the door for her; he inserted the room card and turned around to leave when Song Ci went in and spilled the can.
“Ah, it’s too bad.” Song Ci rushed into the restroom to get a towel. “You should clean it first. It’s all wet.”
Bear’s overcoat was stained by the black tea. He took it off and shook it. “It doesn’t matter. I can simply take it off.”
Song Ci took it over and said, “That can’t do. It is autumn now and the wind is quite cold in the evening.”
She rubbed it with the towel with much strength and said, “It’s almost dry now. Now you can return to your car.”
“Okay, then you may lock the door. I’m leaving!” Bear waved his hand and turned to leave.
Song Ci was left alone and she laughed for quite a while…
The next day was the weekend and Bear begged Jiang Rui with a purpose.
“Master, can you ask your wife to have dinner together tonight?”
“Say what’s the point of this.” Jiang Rui looked at him.
“Tell her to bring Ah Zi along!” Bear’s eyes were shining. “I’ve decided to tell her that I like her!”
Jiang Rui glimpsed at him. “You’ve decided?”
“If I don’t make a move, she may be spirited away by that guy.”
“Have you investigated that Long Zhen’ao?” Jiang Rui suddenly asked.
Bear became serious immediately. “Yes, I have. What’s the matter? Is there anything wrong with him?”
Since Bear said so, the information he produced had to be clean.
“I just felt weird.” Jiang Rui frowned and said, “I will bring Tuan Zi with me for tomorrow’s meal.”
“Eh?” Bear took a long breath and asked, “Even you can’t tell who he is?”
Jiang Rui shook his head and said, “Anyway, I just have this feeling that he’s not an ordinary person.”
“Then you should tell your wife and stop her from getting along with him.” Bear was worried about Ah Zi who seemed to be obsessed with Long Zhen’ao.
“There is no need to rush.” Jiang Rui knocked on the table. “We’re should find out his intention to be here first.”
