Chapter 125 Shen Xinyi's Gift
Chapter 125 Shen Xinyi's Gift
"Hey! It's just a game and a dream!"
After getting off the plane, Chen Xi took a deep breath, sighing that the dream he had just had was so bizarre and yet so realistic.
He walked out of the airport hall, hailed a taxi, and drove straight towards home.
"Brother is back!"
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Ming and Dong Dong lying on the sofa like dead dogs, and they didn't even respond to his greetings.
"Did you two go to the club as a group yesterday?" This was the first possibility that Chen Xi thought of.
"What are you going to do? I'm so busy!"
"Yeah, Internet cafes and moving."
The two replied weakly.
"Aren't Wang Li and his friends in the Internet cafe?"
Chen Xi was a little confused. The Dota competition had ended, the Internet cafe's recharge activities had ceased, and its popularity had begun to gradually decrease. It shouldn't have been so busy.
"Oh, the three of them are simply too busy to handle it. Recently, several online games released in China are very popular. Many international students want to play, but other Internet cafes don't have that kind of accelerator, so they all come to our place."
"The Internet cafe was so popular that there was a conflict over grabbing computers. We two had to go and maintain order!"
Dongdong and Xiaoming's words made Chen Xi consider whether he needed to add a few more computers to meet the growing demand.
"Moving?"
Chen Xi then asked about other business.
"It may be because it is the holiday. There are so many students who have changed houses. Some have already returned to their home countries, and some have just returned to change places to live. We are very busy."
Dongdong sat up, rubbed his arms, then walked to the refrigerator, picked up a bottle of mineral water and started drinking.
"Where's Barnaby? Has he shown up yet?"
Chen Xi suddenly thought of this guy Barnaby.
"No, at least our business is not having any problems at the moment."
Dongdong shook his head. He had never seen that annoying white guy again since the last fight.
"My uncle is back. I'll take you to see him when he's free."
Xiao Ming said lazily while lying on the sofa.
Chen Xi became excited when he heard it.
Wow, I just came back from Xi Village and he’s back too, what a coincidence.
"How was it? I've been there for almost a week!"
"Yeah, leave all the mess to us and go to Xicun to have fun."
The two began to complain, and their voices were still weak. It seemed that they were really tired during this period of time.
"Oh, I'm so tired. I stand there like a hotel doorman every day. I even ran into Alan and Dashan. They actually went to Xi Village for a tour with Xiaoyu and Li Yan..."
Chen Xi told his high school classmate about his chance encounter with him.
"Yeah, they were already together last time at the Cashbox, but you left early and went off to have sex with Saori."
"Yeah, hey hey hey!"
When the two people said those three words, their expressions were extremely obscene, as if they had received the true teachings of the Filthy Demon King.
"Oh, by the way, Li Yuqing said a lot in the group, but you didn't reply to her."
"I haven't opened QQ for eight hundred years. I'm so busy." Chen Xi waved his hands and didn't want to care about this matter at all. He had already learned everything from Allen.
"Go to the Internet cafe and have a look."
Chen Xi asked Xiao Ming to get up, and he planned to go to Beyond to see the real situation.
"You stayed out so late last night, and now you're leaving again so early?" Xiao Ming yawned.
"Are you guys playing games so late?"
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.
"Just one fight!"
Xiao Ming stretched out a finger and gestured.
"Well, I played two games! I used my own notebook."
Seeing that Chen Xi was still staring at him, he could only scratch his hair guiltily, and then immediately stood up from the sofa.
"Oh, Mr. Chen is really busy. He just came back from Xi Village and he has to go inspect the work again."
Dongdong sat on the ground, picked up his shoes and started putting them on.
Chen Xi stared at the two idiots for a long time and felt that such stupid people could not be the traitors lurking around him. This stupid look was definitely not pretended.
"It's noon now, don't you want to eat first?"
Dongdong has always had a big appetite. It’s already past twelve o’clock and he is already hungry.
"Yeah, that makes sense, let's go eat."
Chen Xi nodded. He was a little hungry too.
"Okay! Let's go have some morning tea next door."
Dongdong quickly put on his shoes, then took out his cell phone and started checking it.
Arriving at the apartment's parking garage, he opened the door and calmly got in. He looked around and saw that the car was a bit dirty and messy, and he couldn't help shaking his head.
These two guys really don't pay attention to the hygiene in the car. They left McDonald's and KFC paper bags in the car and didn't throw them away for such a long time.
Fortunately, these two guys don’t smoke, otherwise the car would definitely be filled with smoke.
"From now on, wash your car once a week and throw away the trash in the car every day."
Chen Xi frowned and wiped the disgusting sticky substance on his hands. It should be leftover ketchup. It was so disgusting.
He hates ketchup the most, and things like tomato beef brisket, tomato hot pot base, etc. Except for tomato scrambled eggs and tomato egg soup, he only sprinkles salt on his French fries.
"Did you have any romantic encounters in Xi Village? You seem to have some kidney deficiency."
On the way, Dongdong sat in the passenger seat and stared at Chen Xi.
"What kind of romantic encounter is this? I'm so busy! The exhibition is full of people. I really should have brought you two along to help."
Chen Xi held the steering wheel with one hand, leaned back in the seat, and shifted the gear with the other hand.
"How is the club in Xi Village? Which one is better than the one in Mo Village?"
Dongdong continued to ask.
"Nothing much, there are just more red-light districts in the city center than in Melbourne, like King's Cross and Parramatta..."
Chen Xi yawned and said, "Fuck, you said you didn't have any romantic encounters, but you know the red light district so well."
"What exhibition are you talking about? I see you are busy at the exhibition during the day and at the club at night!"
Dongdong and Xiaoming started to complain.
I forgot. I’ve been there in my previous life, but I was too sleepy and let it slip.
Just as they arrived at the gate of Golden Dragon Palace, Chen Xi turned off the engine and jumped out of the car immediately.
"He ran pretty fast!"
Xiao Ming leaned over to look at the driver's seat and found that it was empty.
"Shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, glutinous rice and chicken, spare ribs, preserved egg and lean meat porridge..."
After the three of them sat down, the waiter came over pushing a cart filled with various Cantonese dim sum.
"Wait, there are still two friends who haven't arrived yet."
Dongdong raised his head and said.
"Who did you call again?"
Xiao Ming asked from the side.
"Hi!"
Zhang Ruoxi's voice rang out.
Chen Xi was texting with Sazhi when he suddenly looked up and saw Zhang Ruoxi and Shen Xinyi walking towards him.
Combined with what Xiao Ming said before, he immediately understood that all this was arranged by Dongdong.
"I'm starving. Please order something to eat."
Zhang Ruoxi opened her eyes wide, stared closely at the delicacies on the cart next to her, and began to pick.
"Order whatever you want, it's my treat today!" Dongdong said generously.
Xiao Ming and Chen Xi couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him and shook their heads almost at the same time.
"Ruoxi, eat more. If it's not enough, order more!"
At the dinner table, Dongdong kept asking the other person questions enthusiastically.
"Can you please call me by my full name, or my English name? Why are you eating so much? You'll get fat!"
Zhang Ruoxi spoke incoherently with a piece of pork ribs stuffed in her mouth.
In Dongdong's eyes, she looks extremely cute. Dongdong always likes girls with soft and cute appearance.
We’ve been trying for so long but we’re still not together!
tsk tsk~
Hearing what Zhang Ruoxi said, Chen Xi felt a little funny.
"I heard you went to Xi Village. Was it fun?"
Zhang Ruoxi did not continue talking to Dongdong, but asked Chen Xi.
"I didn't go there to play, I went there to do some work." Chen Xi picked up a large piece of cut fried dough and put it into his mouth.
"Xinyi and I have never been to Xi Village. Let's go there together next time!"
"Well, tell me later!"
Chen Xi answered perfunctorily that he didn't want to travel with another woman!
Besides, I’m usually so busy that I don’t have time to go out and play.
Seeing Chen Xi's casual answer, Zhang Ruoxi curled her lips and chose to eat in silence.
"Ruoxi, if you want to go to Xi Village to play, I can accompany you. I have plenty of time."
Hearing that Zhang Ruoxi wanted to travel to Xi Village, Dongdong quickly spoke up.
"I asked you to call me by my full name. Let's talk about it next time." Zhang Ruoxi didn't even raise her head. She lowered her head and ate the food in the bowl, as if she was avoiding Dongdong's enthusiasm.
"Okay, Ruoxi." Dongdong responded with a smile on his face.
"..."
Everyone at the dinner table fell silent after hearing his words.
"Let's go, we have things to do."
"Chen Xi, this is for you. Thank you for saving me last time!"
After dinner, several people walked out of the restaurant. When Chen Xi was about to get into the car, he was stopped by Shen Xinyi, who took out a box and handed it to him.
Seeing Shen Xinyi looking at him with big eyes full of expectation, Chen Xi unconsciously took the box handed to her.
He opened the box and found a dark blue scarf inside.
"This was knitted by our Miss Shen herself. She hasn't even had time to play the piano recently." Zhang Ruoxi said humorously.
"Thank you!" Chen Xi didn't say much, just smiled and thanked Shen Xinyi.
"Try it on first to see if it fits." Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to have any other follow-up actions, Zhang Ruoxi quickly offered her assistance.
"Let me help you." Shen Xinyi picked up the scarf, gently placed it around Chen Xi's neck, then wrapped it around a few times and arranged it carefully.
"It's so beautiful. It's worthy of being knitted by our Xinyi herself." Zhang Ruoxi kept praising.
"Thank you."
"Well, we'll be leaving first. You can go and get busy."
Shen Xinyi didn't say anything else, just waved her hand, pulled Zhang Ruoxi away.
However, the smile on her face showed that she was in a very good mood at the moment.
Well, not bad. I didn’t expect Shen Xinyi could knit scarves.
Chen Xi looked at himself in the mirror. The weather was cold now, so wearing a scarf would help block the wind. The style and color were also what he liked, low-key and steady.
Dongdong and Xiaoming sat in the car in silence, staring at him looking at himself in the mirror, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy.
"Haha, if you want a scarf, you can ask Zhang Ruoxi to knit one for you. But since you are so afraid of the heat, I guess you don't need to wear a scarf. So, how far have you two progressed?"
Chen Xi glanced through the mirror at Dong Dong, who was full of resentment.
"How much further can it go? We finally got an appointment to have dinner together today, and it was because I said you were coming."
Dongdong lowered his head, covered his face with his big hands, and said those difficult words in a slightly hoarse voice.
After hearing this, Chen Xi showed him a biceps gesture and encouraged him: "You can't do this, you have to be more aggressive!"
