Chapter 29: A Random Encounter
I never thought that the landlord would steal girls' underwear to sell. Do they really sell for a lot?
I'm a country boy who basically never touched the internet, so I'm stunned. The seller's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The landlord was flustered and embarrassed, and even said he would not charge rent in the future, and wanted to live as long as he could.
But when it comes to this landlord, even a girl will not want to stay here. Qin Lan naturally also wants to go, she is very firm.
She went to pack things, and let me clean up this landlord.
How the hell do I clean him up? Honestly, I have some sympathy for him, 28 years old but he looks like a 48-year-old, ugly and short, he wants to get money for his wife, it's not easy.
I said forget it, we will not call the police, you will return our money. He thanked me profusely and took me to his house.
However, even though his company is terrible, it makes money.
I am now very short on money, and this method seems to be feasible. I'm not going to become a pervert, but I'm going to deny free money.
But to satisfy my curiosity I asked him casually: "Don't you guys, who buy and sell panties, feel ...... anything?"
He laughed dryly: " Just buy and sell online, receive the money to send an express, it's very convenient."
This guy is a bit of a dick, as a countryman who just barely touched a phone is not familiar with what express is.
I'm more curious, the landlord looked at me two eyes, his eyes turned obscene: "Little brother, I have been operating for more than a year, there are hundreds of people in the group, there is no shortage of people to sell to, there is just a lack of goods, perhaps we should partner, you persuade your friend ......"
I go, your fucking brain is really good ah. I barf in his face: "Get out of the way, hurry up and return the money!"
He did not dare to say anything, and returned the money. I took the money and left. Now I'm not afraid of him, this guy is a wimp, not even daring to swear.
I went upstairs to find Qin Lan, her things are almost packed, but now it's very late, it's not good to go.
I said to leave tomorrow, she nodded unconcernedly: " I do not want to stay, but you have to accompany me again."
I froze, then spat blood, I'm paralyzed, it's almost eight o'clock, but still late for the evening study.
I had to call home again to say that I was hit by a car, my mother freaked out and asked me how I always get hit.
I dryly explained in a few sentences and cut the conversation short.
Qin Lan was happy that I stayed, she looked at me with pride: "Just now you performed well, you know how to protect me, I will not be angry with you."
I huffed and said thank you for your generosity. She lightly hummed: " Do not thank me, now go with me to eat a snack."
My heart sighs sadly, okay.
After she scolded the foolishness of those people she suddenly asked me: "By the way, do you have QQ?" (TN: QQ is a Chinese messaging app, but it can also be used for other things.)
I have not been to an internet café for almost three years, and I don't have a computer or a cell phone at home, so I don't really have a QQ number.
I said no, and she was shocked: "Holy shit, what kind of person are you?"
I said I'm poor. She rolled her eyes and grabbed my phone to tinker with it: "I'll register one for you, so we can talk on QQ later."
I was happy to do so, and I thought of Li Xin with a slight movement in my heart.
Why would I think of her? Because I want to talk QQ with her, now that this is a trend, if she is willing to talk with me ......
The more I think about it, the more excited I am, so good ah, before I was stupid ah, always thinking about meeting her in person, nowadays in this age, communication devices have everything, chatting through QQ, you do not have to be embarrassing.
I immediately came to life, and hurried to get some money to buy a cell phone for Li Xin, when we could chat.
I had a smile on my face, Qin Lan with cold uncertainty stared at me: "What are you thinking about?"
I was busy looking up: "Nothing, just thinking about chatting with you, so high-tech ah."
She stared me dead in the eyes: Liar." I felt a little weak, why is she so emotional?
I refused to admit it and said I was just thinking about talking to you. She narrowed her eyes: "Well, you have to take the initiative to chat with me every day, or we'll never get along."
Shit, I dryly nodded my head, she gave the phone back to me: "Well, familiarize yourself with it."
However, it is not a good idea to take a look at the actual website.
I am not sure if I can get a good deal out of this.
However, I did not care, and I messed with my QQ number, but I only had one friend, Qin Lan. I just lay down for a while and Qin Lan sent me a message: "Hey, are you asleep?"
I am really fucked up, you're fucking sleep next door, why do you need to send a message?
I yelled over: "Still awake, and you?"
She didn't answer, but still sent a message: "What are you yelling about, just text."
What is this? I was holding the keypad and typing with difficulty, my fingers were tired.
But Qin Lan was obviously very excited, between the lines I could tell she was happy.
We talked for more than two hours, I was dizzy and she was still full of energy, I said I had to sleep, I could not stand it.
She sent a pouting emoji over and ordered me, "Hey, pour me a glass of water and come in."
You don't know how to get out of bed?
I gritted my teeth and went to pour water for her, went in and handed her water but she ignored it, then sent a message: "Put it down on the table."
My phone is going to be squished: "Holy shit, god damn, I'm standing next to you ah, you pick it up okay?"
She sent another message: "No."
I'm going to be driven crazy by her, I put down a glass of water and ran out, I'm sleeping, I don't care about you.
And then she was so energetic all night that I finally had to turn my phone off to get a good night's sleep.
I woke up in a confused state early in the morning and turned on my phone, then was stunned, there were dozens of messages, Qin Lan said a lot of nonsense to herself, and finally scolded me for turning off the phone.
It was like I saw a ghost, this woman is crazy!
She is not awake at this time, I did not dare to stay, but returned a message: "I'm going back, bye."
After sending it, I ran to school and she returned the message: "Bitch!"
I'm a bitch!
I don't care about her, so I went back to the dormitory to sort my problems out, then went back to the classroom to be scolded by the homeroom teacher, and then I finally rested.
I have been too busy these past few days, this time the class will be forced to turn phones off, forcing themselves to compose an essay, but I cannot focus, my mind simply can not pay attention.
Finally, giving up, I let myself think about Li Xin. I want to buy a cell phone for her, she definitely does not have QQ, I can ask her classmates to help her, then we can chat without meeting.
This is a good idea, the question is whether she is willing to. I've been shaking my leg and thinking about it for half a day, and finally had a flash of genius, sending a cell phone to chat on QQ is a bit of a stretch, but I can write a letter for her, ah, a one-sided talk is also still a talk, so she knows what's on my mind.
I hurried to write a letter, not to mention, write a letter that is smooth, I put the three years of all my feelings in it, I did not expect to be able to write so smoothly.
In the end I wrote myself to tears, my eyes wet, brother and sister was now written on paper, but it was also heartbreaking.
I won't wimp out, there's nothing to wimp out about texting. A full 5,000 words, I wrote and revised, and finally got it done before school ended.
Then I folded the paper and saved it for later, this is my message to Li Xin, she was unable to respond, but could see.
As soon as school was out I ran outside, Lin Yin Yin called me again, she looked upset this time: "Li Chen, you haven't been writing any more articles."
I said, I'm busy, let's do it tomorrow. She said that's what I said yesterday. I said I was really busy and couldn't write.
She slightly bit her lip, then sighed and said forget it.
She seemed lost, I was a little puzzled, Lin Yin Yin showed a smile again, those little tiger teeth are still very cute: "If you have any difficulties just look for me."
I said I understand, I'm going to leave now. She then watched me run away, still lost. I have basically not communicated with her recently, perhaps she has no more friends.
I thought about it for a while, but quickly forgot, hitchhiking to Takasu Middle School side, looking for Xia to ask for a thermos, get some good food to go into the school.
I still go to the corridor to see her, and then give the thermos to a classmate to send her in.
I did not run, Li Xin received the thermos, she glanced at me in the hallway.
I would love to show a smile, but it ended up being harder than crying, and Li Xin just looked at me and looked down again to study.
I fumbled with my fingers in my pants pocket and took a deep breath to pull out the letter and hand it to a girl next to me, "Classmate, help me give it to Li Xin."
She immediately showed a strange smile, I wanted to explain that it was not a love letter, but I guess it was useless to explain.
The girl went to hand the letter to Li Xin with a strange smile. I left at a fast pace, to see if Li Xin would like to "chat" with me.
After leaving there are still a lot of things to do, I have been running back and forth recently, so I can say that I am tired as shit, I have not stopped moving.
I really wanted to eat dinner, but Qin Lan surprised me by messaging me on QQ, she wanted me to go to her.
I thought she wanted me to help her move, but when I went to her, she wasn't moving at all, but asking me to eat with her.
I said you aren’t moving? She glanced at me proudly: "A handsome guy came to live with me this morning. I decided not to move. Anyway, the landlord didn't dare to steal my underwear, and he didn't charge me."
I was shocked, a handsome man?
Qin Lan peeked at me, then whispered in a humming laugh: "What? Upset?"
I frowned: "You be careful, cohabitation is not good, in case he is also a pervert it will be a problem."
Qin Lan stared fiercely at me: "That's it?"
I asked what else is to say? She was so angry that she didn't look at me: " Not as perverted as you are, you grabbed my hair."
Can we stop talking about this? I laughed bitterly, then said I'll go see the handsome guy, in case it's a pervert.
She did not have a happy face, but still took me there, I went to see, it really is a handsome man, his skin is whiter than a woman's, he is also a student, his haircut is obviously done, very trendy.
This is a classy guy, and he looks rich.
He also greeted me warmly, he had obviously talked to Qin Lan.
Qin Lan smiled like a lady and nodded, the handsome man invited us to dinner, and he said we should be friends from now on.
The people in the city are different, I am dumbfounded.
I can also see that he is good, he's very sunny, his smile is also real, he should not be a pervert.
I secretly told Qin Lan that this person is good. She rolled her eyes and did not seem to want to talk.
I did not stay longer, said goodbye and left, Qin Lan sullenly watched me leave, and then talked and laughed with the handsome man.
I left and intended to go back to school, no, I really need to go back to rest.
But Huang Mao appeared from nowhere, as I was walking down the street, he suddenly sprang out, with two people.
We both froze, and then Huang Mao smiled grimly: "What a coincidence."
I thought to myself, this time there is no escape, and I was too busy, I forgot to buy a knife.
But I could not be wimpy, I returned to the cold smile: "Indeed, what a coincidence."
Huang Mao and three people got out of the car and surrounded me, all smiling grimly, Huang Mao cracked his fingers: "I have never seen such a bold student as you, amazing!"
I did not say anything, my fist clenched to gauge them. The next moment, Huang Mao came over with a kick.
I couldn't react, and I was immediately hit, and the pain made me sweat.
I went all out and grabbed Huang Mao and hit him like I used to do in the countryside when I rolled in the mud.
But I thought too naively, I was really too arrogant, the gangsters and students are very different, they are a lot more skilled with their hands and feet.
When we were face to face I was confused, I could only fiercely grab Huang Mao’s arm scratching him with my nails on his arm drawing out blood, he cursed, and he kicked me to the ground with his foot.
This fight is really different from how I thought it would be, where there are no skills, ordinary people who were surrounded absolutely were going to lose.
I lost badly, and blood came out. The three of them rushed over to punch and kick me again.
I fought back again, holding Huang Mao and grabbing his hair fiercely.
It was all curses and roars, I was beaten up, and I was about to faint from the pain, but two motorcycles flew by on the road next to me, and a man laughed: " Huang Mao the Dog, bullying students again?"
I was slightly stunned, this voice is a little familiar ah, as if I have heard somewhere, but really can not remember.
I struggled to turn my head to look, and was slapped by Huang Mao: "None of your business, stupid bitch."
He scolded the man back, I scanned the man out of the corner of my eye, the man also looked at me, and then his motorcycle jerked to a halt: "Damn, Li Chen?"
I looked at him very familiar, but my vision was a little blurry to see too clearly. The man turned the bike around and rushed over: "Is that Li Chen? I am Da Qiang."
My heart skipped a beat, Da Qiang? Many things came into my mind, my ten-year-old sister's wail made my ears ring, and just an instant panting like an ox, I clenched my fingers. (TN: KILL THIS FIENDDDD)
Da Qiang cursed: "Stop stop, this is my buddy, dick head."
