Chapter 47 - 47 Discovered
47 Discovered
Looking at Lin Xi, Han Jiarui smiled and said, “I know you can’t bear to part with me, but for the sake of the company’s development, I have to leave.”
Lin Xi shook her head. “No, I’m thinking about what I can do for Chen Che when I’m free. Help me think about it?”
Han Jiarui was so angry that she almost vomited blood. “Lin Xi, I was thinking too much, right? You could have patronised me instead of just brushing me off!”
“Aiya, I’m already used to you going on business trips. Moreover, I trust you.” Lin Xi explained and continued, “Do you have any good ideas? Can you give me a few?”
“No, I’m full of dog food now. Think about it yourself. I can’t be bothered with you.” With that, Han Jiarui left angrily.
Looking at Han Jiarui, Lin Xi smiled and sat on the sofa, continuing to think.
Seeing this, the netizens could not help but tease.
[Goddess’ best friend is really pitiful. She can’t stop being jealous every day!]
[Haha, if I were her, I would have left long ago. Aren’t you angry to see her showing off her love every day?]
[She said that Lin Xi valued her lover over her friend. From the looks of it, that’s really the case. Haha!]
…
Night came quickly. After dinner, Chen Che and Lin Xi came to the park for a walk as usual.
After a day of thinking, Lin Xi had a plan in her heart.
“Are you tired? Why don’t you go over there and rest?” Chen Che pointed at the bench.
“Okay.” Lin Xi nodded.
Sitting on the bench, Lin Xi leaned naturally on Chen Che’s shoulder and looked at the night sky. “Time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it’s almost two months. Are you happy during this period of time?”
“Of course I’m happy. With you by my side, I’m very motivated to do anything. Your figure is always in my mind,” Chen Che replied.
“Me too. Every day before I go to bed, I think back to our scenes. I always fall asleep with a smile on my face.” Lin Xi smiled sweetly.
The unexpected display of affection made the netizens exclaim: [I can’t stand it!]
After a short silence, Lin Xi spoke again. “By the way, there’s nothing much to do in the company for the next period of time. I might have a lot of time. From tomorrow onwards, I’ll accompany you to work, okay?”
Chen Che shook his head. “Stop fooling around. If there’s nothing else, just rest at home. Why are you exposing to the elements with me?”
“Look at how busy you are. How can I be free? Besides, what’s there to be afraid of? I’m not a vase,” Lin Xi said seriously.
“I appreciate your kindness, but there’s really no need. A wife is meant to be doted on, not to suffer with me.” Chen Che smiled.
Upon hearing this, the netizens could not help but think to themselves, “You eat buns every day. Haven’t you suffered enough?”
Lin Xi didn’t think too much about it. She still said firmly, “Husband and wife should suffer together. Moreover, I always believe that we work hard first before we enjoy the fruits of our labor.”
“I won’t refute you.” Chen Che nodded and continued, “However, just wait for the sweetness. Forget the bitterness.”
“Besides, you’re a goddess. If I bring you to deliver packages, won’t the netizens scold me to death?”
“Alright.” Lin Xi didn’t retort, but she had already made up her mind.
…
The next morning, Chen Che woke up as usual. Although he only slept for a few hours a day, he was energetic.
He was already used to persevering for a long time.
An hour later, Lin Xi got up and went out in a long shirt and pants.
Not long after, the VJ arrived. The live broadcast started, and the netizens who had been waiting for a long time immediately surged in.
“Chen Che didn’t notice, right?” Lin Xi asked.
“No.” VJ shook his head.
Lin Xi smiled in satisfaction. This was her plan. Although Chen Che had rejected her repeatedly, she wanted to give him a surprise and experience Chen Che’s difficulties.
The reason why the netizens were waiting was to see Chen Che’s reaction.
Lin Xi quickly arrived at the park. From their conversation, she knew that Chen Che would come here for a run every day.
Just as Lin Xi was searching for Chen Che and thinking about how to appear, Chen Che appeared!
Chen Che carried a large transparent bag containing all kinds of bottles and jars.
Moreover, Chen Che did not notice Lin Xi at this moment. He walked quickly and searched the trash cans.
[F*ck! Is this Chen Che?]
[What is he doing? Picking up scrap?]
[Oh my god, as expected of Old Chen. He doesn’t even let go of such a small sum of money?]
As the netizens discussed, Lin Xi also frowned. She originally wanted to hide in the bushes, but now, she didn’t have the mood to do so.
“Chen Che!”
Lin Xi shouted and walked over quickly.
Seeing that Lin Xi had arrived and there were cameras behind her, Chen Che was shocked. He thought to himself, “It’s over, it’s over. I can’t hide the matter of picking up scraps.”
When they were close, Lin Xi questioned, “Aren’t you running? Are you lying to me?”
Chen Che grinned. “I’m just picking up some scrap to sell for money while running.”
“Still lying?” Lin Xi pointed at the bag behind Chen Che. “You’ve been up for a long time after collecting so much, right? If you don’t explain clearly today, I’ll really be angry!”
Looking at Lin Xi, Chen Che sighed. “Alright, since you’ve already discovered it, I won’t hide it from you.”
“You’re right. I did wake up very early. Because I was late, someone else picked me up. I lied to you about running because I didn’t want you to worry.”
“In that case, have you been like this since the beginning?” Lin Xi asked.
...
“Yes, I can earn about 15 yuan every morning. Don’t look at how little money it is. A little makes a lot.” Chen Che chuckled.
“But how about this? You don’t sleep enough every day. I know you want to save money, but there’s no need to work so hard, right?”
“If your body is exhausted, what’s the use of earning more money?”
As she spoke, Lin Xi could not help but cry. She wanted to give Chen Che a surprise, but she did not expect to see this scene.
In the past two months, she had not realized at all that she’s such a failure of a girlfriend.
More importantly, just thinking about Chen Che’s day made her feel very tired, let alone reality.
This heartache was self-evident.
At this moment, the netizens were also shocked.
[Old Scrooge Chen is really a ruthless person. I still complain about my hard work every day. What’s the big deal compared to him?]
[That’s right. I’ve never seen anyone earn money like this!]
[No wonder he’s stingy. No wonder he can’t wait to split a dollar into two to spend. So this is all hard-earned money!]
...
[Old Scrooge Chen, you win. Please accept my knee!]
Just as the netizens were discussing, Chen Che put down the bag and hurriedly wiped Lin Xi’s tears. He said gently, “Alright, alright. You don’t look good crying.”
“Besides, I know my own body. After such a long time, haven’t I still been full of vigor?”
“The experts said that it’s enough for young people to sleep for three to four hours a day.”
Lin Xi snorted. “Did the experts say it, or did you? You always remind me to cherish myself, but what about you?”
“Also, even if I find out today, you won’t give up, right?”
Chen Che did not know how to answer for a moment. Any income was very important to him now.
Looking at Chen Che, Lin Xi turned around and left.
