I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

Chapter 1237: When will we see each other again in this lingering longing?

A bicycle worth over ten million.

If it had been made of gold, it probably wouldn’t cost this much.

But this bike is very light, if nothing else, it must be made of carbon fiber material.

Under the last glimpse of twilight.

Jiang Chen bent down, unlocked the bike, and was about to mount it to leave, when suddenly a voice filled with mirth echoed.

"The traffic police in River City are very strict. Riding while drunk could easily get you caught."

Tracing the voice.

In the dimness where day turns to night, a graceful figure appeared up ahead.

"Why are you out?"

"It’s getting dark, and I should be heading back, I have work to do tomorrow."

Wu Yufei said with a laugh, and then with a meaningful look at Jiang Chen who was straddling the bike, "How about a bet? Once you go out, you might run into the traffic police."

Jiang Chen’s comrades have always had a strong sense of law, and of course, they knew that drunken cycling was against the regulations, but everyone has their careless moments.

Thanks to the reminder from an old classmate, he did the right thing by dismounting the bike, "Should be alright if I just push it, right?"

Wu Yufei giggled, "I was just teasing you. At this hour, the traffic police probably haven’t started their shift yet, it’ll be more dangerous in an hour or two."

"The superior man is cautious when alone. Even without the supervision of our police comrades, we should still be self-disciplined. It’s not just for our own safety, but for the safety of others as well."

Wu Yufei said with a different expression: "Your awareness really is different from ours."

Jiang Chen approached with the invaluable bike in tow.

"Where do you live?"

"What, you want to give me a ride?"

After spending the day together, Wu Yufei seemed to have become more cheerful. She looked at what seemed to be an artistic piece that would only appear in news magazines, "Your bike doesn’t even have a rear seat."

"..."

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

Indeed.

Putting aside for a moment whether giving a lady a ride on a bike is unseemly, this bike indeed lacked a seat that could accommodate a passenger. In terms of practicality, it’s probably not as good as the one he bought for over a hundred yuan back in high school.

Of course.

He was just asking casually and didn’t actually intend to give a ride, but since she had joked about it, he could only continue with the pretense of regret: "Indeed, so I can only apologize to my old classmate."

"Too fake. Even if you’re just making do, you should at least be sincere."

Of course, it was just a joke.

Wu Yufei quickly changed the subject, "Where do you live? Nearby?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then I’ll walk with you for a bit."

The lady is offering to escort me instead?

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, he heard Wu Yufei explain: "Walking after a meal will help you live to ninety-nine."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen naturally couldn’t refuse any longer and praised: "No wonder you’ve changed so much, your lifestyle really is healthy."

The two of them walked out of the parking lot together, Jiang Chen pushing the bike on the left, Wu Yufei walking on the right.

If the two switched to school uniforms, the scene would definitely be very heartwarming.

"Was I really that ugly before?"

"There are no ugly girls in this world. It’s all about whether you know how to dress up."

This answer was quite a tactful one, leaving Wu Yufei uncertain whether to feel happy or downcast for a moment.

She turned her head and gazed at that still youthful face.

Just then, Jiang Chen also turned his head.

Their gazes met.

Wu Yufei hurriedly dodged.

Jiang Chen was also aware of her shyness, "You’re not a teacher now, are you?"

If he remembered correctly, she was admitted to a teacher’s college in their province, which was unique in their high school class at the time.

"How did you know?"

Wu Yufei still wasn’t looking at him.

Jiang Chen pushed the bike and looked ahead, "A teacher wouldn’t dress like this."

Wu Yufei in her black silk, high heels, and short skirt immediately countered: "Then what should a teacher dress like? I’m not at work right now, do you have a professional bias?"

Jiang Chen laughed.

"A girl like you doesn’t fit the teacher mold."

"Why am I not fit to be a teacher?"

"Firstly, being a teacher requires authority, and secondly, a teacher shouldn’t be too pretty."

"..."

Wu Yufei was silent for a moment, then reached up to straighten a lock of hair by her cheek.

"Okay, you’re right, I wasn’t able to become a Soul Engineer. But it’s not for the reasons you mentioned."

"Then why?"

Jiang Chen asked casually.

Unnoticed, the backdrop above the two walking side by side had turned into a night sky.

"The pressure was just too much,"

Wu Yufei said: "Do you have any idea how many people compete for a teacher’s position? It’s like the college entrance exam all over again, a multitude clambering over a single-log bridge."

"Isn’t that an exaggeration?"

Jiang Chen said with a laugh: "If not middle school, there’s still elementary school, and if that doesn’t work, there’s always kindergarten, right?"

Wu Yufei couldn’t resist the urge to hit him, but after all, she wasn’t Tong Dan. She raised her hand and then put it down.

"My family wanted me to go back and find a school in our area. My hometown is a county city affiliated with Sha City. The competition isn’t as intense there, but I don’t want to go back."

Jiang Chen didn’t ask why.

Water flows downward.

People strive upward.

Isn’t the purpose of studying hard to see a bigger world?

Big cities are too competitive, returning to smaller places feels unsatisfying, that’s the situation most people face.

"So what are you working as now?"

Jiang Chen finally remembered to show concern for his old classmate.

"Aren’t you good at reading people?"

Wu Yufei teased.

Jiang Chen smiled.

Wu Yufei didn’t make it difficult for him and explained: "After graduating, I’ve changed a few jobs, as my major didn’t quite match up, I had to start from the beginning. I’m currently working at a subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise."
