Chapter 279: The Scenery was Glorious, but He Just Couldn’t Touch It

Wei Shuyi made stir-fried kidneys, pig liver, dumplings that Qiao Jiusheng liked, and also a few other dishes.

This was because Qiao Jiusheng often whispered in Fang Yusheng’s ear that Wei Shuyi’s stir-fried pig liver, kidneys, and dumplings were very delicious. During the meal, Fang Yusheng ate a few more mouthfuls. Wei Shuyi had considered that Fang Yusheng’s stomach was not good and did not add a lot of chilies. The dishes tasted refreshing and smooth and were indeed not bad.

Fang Yusheng ate one and a half bowls of the meal. He wouldn’t admit that he ate so much because Wei Shuyi’s culinary skills were good. In his opinion, the reason he ate so much was that he had put in a lot of effort to help in washing and picking the vegetables.

After dinner, the couple sat at Wei Shuyi’s house for a while until Wei Shuyi received a call from a friend.

The call was from Wei Shuyi’s mentor.

“Little Yi, my Ah Tao hasn’t been home for two days. I’ve been very busy at the hospital these past few days, working overtime every night. Can you help me look for him?”

Wei Shuyi’s mentor was Chen Anyuan, the director of the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Binjiang city’s most famous private hospital. His son, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, was called Chen Tao. Chen Tao was at the age of rebellion and often quarreled with his mother. Once they quarreled, he would run away from home.

Such things happened frequently.

Wei Shuyi was familiar with Chen Tao. So when he received Chen Anyuan’s call, he did not reject his request. He was also worried about the child’s safety, so he agreed to it.

“Alright, I’ll look for him later.”

“Sigh! I didn’t teach my son well. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you again.”

“Teacher, don’t say that. Ah Tao is at the age where he won’t act disciplined. Don’t worry too much! I will find him and bring him back for you.”

“Okay.”

Wei Shuyi hung up the phone and said to Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng, “My mentor’s son has left home. I have to look for him. It seems like I won’t be able to have a good sleep tonight.” Wei Shuyi had planned to sleep for two hours in the afternoon before going out at night to meet his former university classmates.

From the looks of it, that was not possible anymore.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng stood up from the sofa at the same time. Qiao Jiusheng said to him, “It’s more important to find the child. Go quickly. Yusheng and I have something to do too. My assistant is bringing his daughter to Binjiang City. Yusheng and I will go to the mall to buy some gifts for her. Let’s go together.”

Wei Shuyi nodded and took the car keys and the door key. The three of them walked downstairs together.

On the way downstairs, Wei Shuyi asked her, “How old is she?”

“Sixteen.”

“That’s about the same age as Ah Tao.” Wei Shuyi thought for a while before saying, “Kids these days are all into Eating Chicken [1. Eating Chicken is slang for playing the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG)] and Honor of Kings. You can buy her a cell phone suitable for gaming.” Feeling that his suggestion seemed to be a little misleading, Wei Shuyi added, “Let her father keep the cell phone for her. In the holidays, she can play for an hour every day without affecting her studies.”

Qiao Jiusheng chuckled. “I play that game too.”

“Is that so?” Wei Shuyi immediately took out his phone and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Me too. Let’s add each other as friends and play together next time.”

“Sure.”

Fang Yusheng stood at the side and watched as the two of them exchanged their in-game IDs and added each other as friends. He felt a sense of crisis in his heart. It was time for him to eat chickens and play Honor of Kings!

The three of them arrived at the parking lot and got into their respective cars.

Fang Yusheng watched as Wei Shuyi drove away in his Mazda car. Then, he turned around and asked Qiao Jiusheng, who sat at the back, “What’s Eating chicken?” He revealed a puzzled expression and muttered to himself, “There was a Plants vs. Zombies game in the past, and now there’s one called Eating Chicken?”

Are all games nowadays so stupid?

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng looked up to meet Fang Yusheng’s gaze. His gaze was indescribable. “Eating Chicken. It’s not a competition to see who eats more chicken.”

“Oh, what’s that?”

“PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. When you get first place, a sentence will appear on the upper left corner of the screen. It says ‘Winner, Winner! CHICKEN DINNER!\'”

Fang Yusheng immediately understood. “Twenty-one.” When he saw Qiao Jiusheng’s puzzled expression, he said, “This line is from the movie Twenty-one.\'”

Qiao Jiusheng was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, “A blind person can watch a movie?”

Fang Yusheng was speechless.

“I was just blind, not deaf.” Sometimes, when he was bored, he’d turn on the movies. He didn’t feel so lonely listening to people talk.

Qiao Jiusheng stuck out her tongue and said, “The English version is the original version. In the Chinese version, that sentence has been turned into a congratulatory message. We’ll have chicken tonight.”

“Oh…” Fang Yusheng finally understood.

He immediately turned on his phone app and played an English version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. As he drove home, he asked Qiao Jiusheng about various ways to play it. Qiao Jiusheng told him everything she knew and planned to groom him into an excellent Chicken Eating General. After Fang Yusheng heard that, he said, “That’s not as fun as Taobao.”

Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

“Jack Ma is your true love. Go ahead and love him. Don’t love me anymore.”

Fang Yusheng immediately raised his hand. “No, my heart will always be with you. Besides, I’m quite a picky person.” He couldn’t bring himself to kiss Jack Ma.

Qiao Jiusheng could not help but laugh at the thought of the contrast between Jack Ma and Fang Yusheng.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they went to the mall to buy some things. When they reached home, it was already night.

***

As for Wei Shuyi, he drove his car and searched all the places that Ah Tao frequented. He searched the internet cafes and the clubs that teenagers frequented, but he could not find anyone. Wei Shuyi sat in his car, worried about Ah Tao.

That child is surrounded by bad friends. It would be best if he doesn’t learn from them.

Wei Shuyi finally drove the car to Binjiang City Bar Street.

The nights here were full of songs and unrestrained pleasures. It was a paradise for prodigals and a place for wandering and lonely people to seek comfort.

The weather was a little cold. Wei Shuyi put on a beige British windbreaker over his black shirt. With his hands in his windbreaker pockets, Wei Shuyi searched the bars on the street one by one. The bars were on both sides of the street. There were about thirty large bars and more than ten small bars.

Among them, a few bars served special groups of people, such as Gay Bars and Lesbian Bars. To find Ah Tao, Wei Shuyi searched through the two bars that he had never been to before.

He searched the street on the left but could not find Ah Tao. Then, he walked to the end of the street on the right and started searching again.

The closer he got to the end of the street, the higher the grade of the bar became. The music inside was so loud that it broke through the roof. On the high stage, the dancers were twisting their bodies. All of them looked like green snakes that could break their waists. It wasn’t that Wei Shuyi had never been to a bar before, but he wasn’t interested in these kinds of people.

He went into the bar and looked around, but he couldn’t find Ah Tao. He went into the second bar.

This bar was especially lively tonight.

On the stage, three pairs of men and women were dancing a fiery two-person pole dance. All of them had worn tight-fitting clothes, and their actions were bold. They were just short of finding a bed sheet to cover the stage when they started their live performance. Wei Shuyi glanced at the stage, and a flash of irritation appeared in his eyes.

What a degenerate world!

He went upstairs but did not find Ah Tao, so he walked down the metal stairs. As he was about to exit the bar, someone blocked his way.

“Little Brother, do me a favor.”

An extremely beautiful woman with exquisite makeup stood in Wei Shuyi’s way. She was different from those girls who wore short skirts to cover their buttocks. This woman had a white sports-style halter top on her.

The collar of her white top was wide open, revealing her alluring collarbones. The front of her shirt was in a V shape, with eight buttons on the left and right sides of it. It was tied up with a white rope. The girl did not tie the rope tightly, so Wei Shuyi looked down from high above and could see her faintly discernible deep cleavage.

Her white pants were loose, and she looked straight.

Wei Shuyi’s gaze stopped at her waist, which was filled with power and temptation, for two more seconds. A sentence popped up in his mind.

The scenery is glorious, but I just can’t touch it.

His heart was already racing, but his expression was cold.

Before he could say anything, the woman grabbed his hand and leaned her head on his shoulder. She was wearing a pair of flat athletic shoes, and her 1.7-meter frame was much shorter than Wei Shuyi’s. Wei Shuyi looked at her from the corner of his eye and frowned. At that moment, the girl began to act on her own. She smiled at him like a flower, but it was a poppy flower with a fatal attraction.

“Brother, what took you so long? I’ve been waiting for you.”

After saying that, the woman glared at him. Wei Shuyi could tell that she was calling him her lover. The girl deliberately shouted, “You promised to accompany me tonight. I thought you wouldn’t come. Today is my birthday. Where’s the present you prepared for me?”

She extended her hand toward Wei Shuyi.

Wei Shuyi was speechless.

Who the f*ck are you!

He had reason to suspect that this was a scammer asking for a gift.

“Why? You didn’t prepare a gift for me?” The girl pretended to be angry. After she said that, she glanced at the person in front of her. Wei Shuyi followed her gaze and saw two men in decent suits looking over.

Only then did Wei Shuyi realize that the girl was being pestered by members of the opposite sex.

He touched his body, and after a while, he found… a piece of chalk.

He had a class this morning. After his class, he had put the chalk in his pocket.

The girl stared at the piece of chalk in astonishment.

She was truly shocked.

Jiaren Wu sized up this elegant and gentle-looking man. The reason she had asked him for help was that he looked very steady and was obviously reliable.

It’s actually a teacher!

“This is for you.” Wei Shuyi handed her the chalk.

Jiaren Wu held the chalk and naturally said, “You really understand me well by giving me this gift. I like this chalk very much, but what I like the most is the way you draw me with the chalk.”

Not far away, the man who wanted to invite Jiaren Wu over for a drink couldn’t help but suspect her relationship with Wei Shuyi.

Drawing? Could he really be Jiaren Wu’s boyfriend?

He thought of the branded watch he had bought for her and was instantly annoyed.

A watch costing a few hundred thousand yuans was not even comparable to a few cents worth of chalk!

The man thought for a moment and walked over to her. “Jiaren, this is…” He had been pursuing Jiaren Wu for a long time and didn’t know that she had a boyfriend.

Jiaren Wu held Wei Shuyi’s hand and said, “Brother, this is Lin Zhi, Young Master Lin.”

She then said to Lin Zhi, “This is my boyfriend, the kind that I’m getting married to.”

Lin Zhi looked like he had eaten a pile of shit…

Looking at Lin Zhi’s attire, Wei Shuyi knew that this man wasn’t short of money. There were too many rich people in Binjiang City. Although Wei Shuyi didn’t know who Young Master Lin was, he guessed that this Lin Zhi was most likely the Young Master Lin from Dongcheng who had made his fortune through electrical appliances.

Wei Shuyi nodded at Lin Zhi. He was still thinking about Ah Tao and didn’t want to waste any more time. He said to Jiaren Wu, “Jiaren, I’ve prepared a surprise for you at home. Do you want to come with me?”

Jiaren Wu knew that he was looking for an excuse to escape, so she nodded.

“Sure, Brother.”

The way she called him brother gave Wei Shuyi goosebumps all over, but Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes.

Brother…

Brother?

Wei Shuyi and Jiaren Wu held hands and intimately walked out of the bar. At first, Lin Zhi had some doubts, but when he followed them out, he saw that the two of them were chatting and laughing as they got into the car. Only then did his doubts disappear.

They are indeed a couple.

Lin Zhi pursed his lips.?A delicate flower has a master again…

Wei Shuyi drove the car out of the bar street, turned a corner, and immediately stopped.

Jiaren Wu placed her hand on Wei Shuyi’s shoulder and raised an eyebrow at him with a charming expression. “Thank you, little brother.”

Wei Shuyi didn’t say a word, his eyes cold.

Jiaren Wu retracted her hand and thanked him. She opened the car door and got out of the car. The moment the car door closed, before Jiaren Wu could turn around, the car behind her drove away.

Jiaren Wu turned around and smiled as she looked at the exhaust.

“What a handsome man…”

Wei Shuyi was indeed handsome. His good looks were different from Fang Yusheng’s. Fang Yusheng’s good looks were aggressive. On the other hand, Wei Shuyi’s good looks were like the spring wind and rain, moist and silent. It was the kind of look that made one feel comfortable when one carefully looked at him.

Jiaren Wu took out the piece of chalk, pinched it in her hand, and covered herself with a layer of chalk dust.

She strode down the street, ready to hail a cab. As she passed a lamp pole, she drew a triangular heart shape on it.

It was only a matter of time before she would meet someone she should meet.

She needed help, and he had happened to show up.

It was fate and destiny.
