Chapter 57: Better to Forget Each Other in Jianghu
Seeing Su Chen beaten, one word: exhilarating.
Two words, very exhilarating.
Three words, especially exhilarating!
Yang Lan drove her car, following behind Su Chen, continuously cheering him on.
"Keep it up, only nineteen kilometers to go."
"Only eighteen kilometers left, the Long March was ten thousand li, you know!"
"..."
Miss Yang felt that all the bad luck and anger of the past few days vanished at this moment.
Honestly, Su Chen really had the urge to snatch the car.
But that seemed a bit too ungentlemanly.
So, he listened to Yang Lan prattle on for ten kilometers.
"Kid, you've got good stamina, you've walked ten kilometers already without even breaking a sweat or getting out of breath..." Yang Lan continued to tease Su Chen.
For Su Chen, walking ten kilometers was nothing; even running ten kilometers would be no issue.
But walking back twenty-something kilometers alone on a road without even a ghost in sight was just too boring.
Having this chatterbox of a female driver for company wasn't a bad thing.
However, Yang Lan seemed a bit tired too, stretching and saying, "It's almost midnight, sister is sleepy, I'm going home to sleep. Little bro, take your time walking."
With that, she prepared to speed up.
But Su Chen wouldn't let her just leave.
"Hey, you're forgiving me just like that? If I were you, I definitely wouldn't let it go so easily." Su Chen tapped on the taxi.
Yang Lan finally got it.
No wonder she had been able to ridicule him all this way and he didn't even retort; this jerk was too bored walking alone and was dying for her to join him.
Damn it, she meant to see this guy mope, but ended up becoming his entertainment instead.
"Hmph, I won't keep you company anymore, you can walk by yourself!" Knowing Su Chen's intention, Yang Lan naturally wouldn't keep him company.
Watching the taxi rapidly drive away, Su Chen's face twitched.
Women, indeed creatures that hold grudges.
Only ten kilometers to go, walk on.
A few minutes later, Su Chen saw Yang Lan's car stopped ahead, the hood open.
And Yang Lan was leaning over the front part of the car, appearing to check something.
Maybe the car had a problem.
Su Chen suddenly felt delighted.
Immediately, he walked over.
Standing behind Yang Lan, Su Chen's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
He hadn't expected this chick to actually have a nice figure.
"Hey, beautiful, need some help?" Su Chen said with a grin, patting Yang Lan's shoulder.
"Who wants your help!" Yang Lan turned around, saw it was Su Chen, and said irritably.
"No? Alright then." Su Chen pursed his lips and turned to leave.
Yang Lan became somewhat anxious; she didn't know what had happened, but the car had suddenly broken down.
It had just been serviced recently.
It must be because of Su Chen, this jinx!
Thinking about it, Yang Lan felt like kicking him a few times.
But, if the car couldn't be fixed, with no village ahead and no shop behind, and at such a late hour...
Her being a girl...
Were there any wild animals around here?
What if she encountered a wolf in sheep's clothing?
Yang Lan didn't dare to continue the thought, her expression a bit unnatural as she called out to Su Chen, "Hey, um, do you know how to fix cars?"
Su Chen turned around upon hearing this, smiling and said, "Yeah, I can."
"Then, can you help me take a look at what's going on? The car suddenly won't start."
"Why should I help you?" Su Chen grinned mischievously.
You just smugly drove your car following my brother for ten kilometers, didn't you?
Yang Lan was frustrated and didn't know what to do.
She didn't expect this guy to be so petty.
"If you won't help, then fine! What's the big deal!" Yang Lan, irritated, stamped her foot and then continued to tinker with the car.
Ten minutes later, Yang Lan tried to start the car and found that it still wouldn't ignite, slapped the steering wheel in frustration, and cried.
Seeing this, Su Chen helplessly shook his head.
And then he went over.
As a top Special Soldier, fixing things was the most basic skill.
Not just cars, but tanks and airplanes too, he could fix them.
"Do you have a wrench?" Su Chen asked after checking the situation. Help us out by reading on M|V|LEM5PYR.
Yang Lan nodded and then took a toolbox from the trunk.
Yang Lan's originally pristine face now looked dirty, like a small patched cat, with lingering tear marks on her face, appearing rather pitifully adorable.
A few minutes later, Su Chen closed the hood, "Try starting it again?"
Yang Lan tried igniting it and this time it actually worked.
She hadn't expected this jerk to be quite capable.
Su Chen put the tools back in the trunk and then dusted off his hands, continuing on foot.
"Get in." Yang Lan, driving the car, caught up to Su Chen.
"You're not going to drag me to the detective squad again, are you?" Su Chen asked warily.
"No, not today at least!"
"That's good."
Su Chen opened the car door and sat down.
Yang Lan drove, her peripheral glances stealing peeks at Su Chen from time to time.
Who would have thought this guy was quite handsome, with his tall nose, large eyes, and imposingly expressive eyebrows.
Plus, he was wearing a designer suit, giving him a rather handsome... no, that's not right, it should be a good-looking but snobbish air.
Yes, that's it - good-looking but snobbish!
Su Chen knew all too well that Yang Lan was stealthily looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel amused.
If you want to look, just go ahead and look openly, I won't charge you for it.
"Don't think just because you helped me, I will forgive you!" Yang Lan saw the smile tugging at the corner of Su Chen's mouth, realizing he had caught her looking and felt somewhat annoyed as she spoke.
Su Chen's skin twitched, this woman really knew how to hold a grudge.
If you won't forgive, then don't. After all, I won't lose anything over it.
Without incident, they arrived twenty minutes later at the entrance of West County.
"Thanks, beauty, my name's Su Chen, still don't know your name!" Su Chen turned around in gratitude.
"Why should I tell you!" Yang Lan huffed proudly and then drove off.
In fact, through her observations on the way, she found that Su Chen wasn't all that bad.
If Su Chen were an Ordinary Person, she might have even been willing to befriend him.
But Su Chen lived in a villa and clearly was wealthy; he wasn't from her world.
It would be better to forget each other in the vastness of Jianghu.
Yang Lan suddenly felt somewhat sentimental for no reason.
Wondering if they would ever meet again, she thought it better not to. That guy was just trouble; seeing him meant nothing good would happen!
When Su Chen got home, he found Lin Xi was still not asleep. She was sitting at the dining table with candles lit and red wine placed beside her.
With a pencil in hand, her bare hands swiftly sketched.
They say a woman who is focused is especially charming, and at this moment, Lin Xi looked even more captivating.
Su Chen sneakily approached, curious to see what the artistic wife was drawing.
