Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Guy Really Isn’t Here to Pick Up Chicks, He’s Truly Here to Pick Her Up

"What are you hiding from?"

"I’m not, not hiding." Fu Ying’s voice was very small, slightly trembling.

"Look at me."

Fu Ying’s eyes darted about, then tentatively she let her gaze fall on his face.

Only then did Fu Ying notice that the man’s look at her was a bit intense, causing her to slowly hold her breath.

Beneath the moonlight, under the dim yellow streetlight, the man pinched her chin and leaned in to kiss her gently.

Fu Ying’s breathing slowed down, her body began to tense up, and her fingers clutched tightly onto the man’s white shirt, very forcefully, knuckles turning white.

There was a dog barking in the distance, and Fu Ying suddenly woke up, pressing her hand against him: "Stop."

"Scared?"

Fu Ying nodded.

"Just now you dived into my arms, I thought you weren’t scared anymore," the man’s tone was tinged with mockery.

Fu Ying pursed her lips.

He suddenly leaned in again, pecking her lips lightly, then laughed at her embarrassed and angry face, his shoulders shaking slightly: "Alright, let’s go upstairs."

Fu Ying pursed her lips and looked up at her.

Their gazes intertwined, Shen Liguang’s smile faded from his face.

He stared deeply at the girl, his eyes slightly heavy.

Fu Ying suddenly felt her lips were very dry, and she licked them.

Shen Liguang frowned: "Can you not look at brother like that?"

Fu Ying came back to her senses and immediately turned her face away.

"Go upstairs."

"Oh."

Watching the girl go upstairs, Shen Liguang sat in the car for a while before leaving.

As soon as he got home, Li Ruolan immediately got up and walked over: "You’re back so late, not even giving me a heads up before going to the disaster area, your phone was unreachable, you trying to scare mom to death?"

"I was afraid you wouldn’t let me go if I told you."

Li Ruolan became unhappy: "Even so, you should have let me know, if you insisted on going, could I even stop you?"

Shen Liguang moved his legs, they still ached from not having fully recovered from his previous injury, and he couldn’t help but favor them as he walked.

He frowned as he endured the pain to keep Li Ruolan from noticing.

Li Ruolan nagged behind him: "I know you find me annoying when I say too much, but I’m your mother, can you tell me in advance if something happens in the future? In the past few years, you just left without a word, you didn’t even tell me about your demobilization, and this time again, I can’t take the suspense at my age."

Shen Liguang’s hand on the doorknob paused slightly.

Li Ruolan sighed: "I’m not blaming you; it’s just that your line of work is too dangerous, how can I not worry?"

"In a couple of days, I’ll take a vacation and spend it properly with you at home."

Li Ruolan: "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Go back to your room and sleep, you’re not young anymore and yet you stay up late all the time."

"You mean what you say?"

Seeing Li Ruolan’s doubtful face, looking like an old child, Shen Liguang couldn’t help but smile wryly: "Why would I fool you, really, I’ll take a vacation in a couple of days and spend it with you at home."

Li Ruolan nodded: "Then good, remember to buy me some candied chestnuts."

Shen Liguang smiled: "Okay."

After Li Ruolan returned to her room, Shen Liguang, after showering, took out his phone and thought for a bit, took a picture, and sent it to the girl.

The next day.

Fu Ying woke up early, and her first reaction was to reach for her phone, where a WeChat notification awaited.

Fu Ying opened it and her face instantly turned red...

She ignored the photo and sent Shen Liguang a good morning message before getting up to wash and head to class.

Grandma was in the yard practicing Tai Chi, pulling Fu Mingchuan to join her.

Fu Ying was running late, grabbed a piece of bread and was about to dash off, when Fu Yan pulled her back: "Hey, little sister..."

Fu Ying frowned, wary: "Little sister? Big brother, you’ve always called me by my full name, why so polite today?"

Fu Yan looked unnaturally and coughed lightly: "I think, as siblings connected by blood, we should love each other more."

"Do you need a favor from me?"

Fu Yan paused, then let go of her, shaking his head, "No, no, you better hurry to class."

Fu Ying frowned and cursed, "You’re crazy."

...

The lease on the short-term rental had expired.

Early in the morning, the landlord came to look for Shen Liguang to discuss moving out.

The landlord was an elderly man, trembling as he knocked on Shen Liguang’s door.

"Young man, are you going to continue renting this room?"

Shen Liguang paused for a moment, turned his head to take a glance at the living room, as if the sight of the girl curled up asleep on the sofa was imprinted in his eyes.

The landlord was still waiting for his response.

Shen Liguang smiled, "I’ll renew the lease. I’ll transfer the rent to you later."

Shen Liguang tidied up the room, and at five in the afternoon, he prepared to go pick up the girl from school.

While driving halfway, he received a call from a few of his high school dormmates.

Those numbers, saved for years, hadn’t been in contact since high school graduation.

Unexpectedly, they reached out to him today.

As soon as the call connected, the other side expressed their surprise and then laughed, "Fuck, I knew you wouldn’t change your number."

"I’m not like Zhao Zhi, changing numbers every time I hit on a girl."

Cen Jiaxiang laughed, "I can’t believe you still remember. Got time? Let’s get together, Zhao Zhi and the others are all here."

Shen Liguang paused, "Where?"

"The same old place." Cen Jiaxiang paused, "Haven’t been back in years and the place has changed so much, can you still find the old place?"

"I’ll be there soon."

"Great, we’ll wait for you."

Shen Liguang glanced at the time and had no choice but to send a message to Fu Ying on WeChat.

Fu Ying was in class and felt her phone vibrating. She took it out to look.

Shen Liguang: Hmm, today some old classmates want to meet up, I won’t have time to pick you up. I’ll send you the address.

Following that was a string of an address.

Fu Ying was pondering what he meant by sending this address—whether he wanted her to come over or was just informing her of his whereabouts.

Curious, Fu Ying clicked on the address to take a look. It was actually an entertainment club.

When the last elective class ended, she packed up, holding her books, and walked out of school. Her older brother had actually come again.

Back in high school, when his university was near her school, he wasn’t even this diligent in picking her up.

Now, for two consecutive evenings, he had come twice.

"Big bro, are you here to pick me up?"

"Then, what else?"

Fu Ying looked skeptical, "You wouldn’t have fallen for a girl from our school and are using me as an excuse, right?"

"Could I even do something like that?"

Fu Ying retorted, "You couldn’t do it?"

Fu Yan: "I’m here to find Jin Cangcang. She took photos of me in women’s clothing, and I’m here to settle the score with her."

"Oh~" Fu Ying nodded, her tone elongated, "I see."

Coincidentally, Jin Can came out of the school gate with her underlings.

Under Fu Ying’s watchful eyes, Fu Yan stiffly walked over, his inside screaming; that damn woman had a very strong presence, irresistible.

"Jin Cangcang, you delete those photos of me in women’s clothes, and do it now."

Hearing this, Jin Can raised her red lips and lightly laughed, her face full of mockery.

"Okay, but..."

Jin Can patted her motorcycle, "If you can beat me, not only will I delete the photos, but I’ll also kneel down and call you daddy."

"I can’t ride motorcycles."

"What can you do? Whatever you can do, I can do it."

"Anything’s fine?" Fu Yan raised his eyebrows, never having seen such arrogance. Tonight, he would teach her a lesson!

Jin Can nodded, "Anything."
