star:!!!
Xing quickly reached out and covered Cheng Che's mouth, his golden eyes full of fear, "I don't want to become a stutterer!"
"What are you talking about? Fighting in a bar will get you kicked out."
The man placed a few drinks on the table, then leaned lazily on the sofa, raised his chin and looked at the two unknown guests sitting beside him.
After a while, Gallagher withdrew his gaze, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then his other hand habitually reached into his pocket, holding a lighter and waving it around.
star:……
Cheng Che: ...
The two men looked at Gallagher in silence. After a while, Xing touched the back of his head and said, "I don't think a minor like me needs to act as a spokesperson in this kind of situation."
After the words were spoken, no one spoke for a long time.
Xing turned around suspiciously and saw Cheng Che rummaging around in his backpack and taking out a blue box.
Cheng Che opened the plastic wrapper, took out a thin cigarette and handed it to Gallagher, "Here, it's from my hometown. My brother loves it. I'll give it to you."
Gallagher: ...
Gallagher raised his eyes and met a pair of beautiful light amber eyes.
He was silent for a moment, reached out to take it, bit it between his lips and teeth, and lowered his head to shake the lighter.
"You can when you're an adult." Cheng Che responded, sighing heavily, "But I can't. Even if I'm an adult, I can't. I'll be beaten."
"I'm thirteen." Gallagher said lightly, and the spark from the lighter was snatched away before it got close.
Cheng Che threw the cigarette and meat scraps into the trash can with an expressionless face, and moved the wine glass in front of Gallagher away, "Okay."
acceptable!
Be it a joke or the truth, a thirteen-year-old man can accept it!
Gallagher opened his mouth and raised his hands, a look of confusion appearing on his lazy and tired face.
Xing Momo turned to look at Cheng Che, "Why are you always so persistent on such trivial matters?"
"I'm used to it." Cheng Che held his wine glass with an extremely calm expression on his face. "The law is my last line of defense."
star:……
Xing looked at Cheng Che in confusion, "It's only been two years since you turned eighteen. I don't believe you can be so skilled at drinking in two years."
"Oh, as long as I don't drink too much, I sometimes drink a little secretly when I can't sleep." Cheng Che looked at the expression on Gallagher's face and asked in confusion: "Mr. Sheriff, are you angry?"
Sheriff Gallagher: ...
He does.
Gallagher sighed imperceptibly, raised his hand and placed his glass in front of him, and said calmly, "What do you want to talk about?"
He didn't believe that he suddenly came up to confess just to be in a daze.
"Nothing to talk about, just making friends." Cheng Che looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes swept across his tired face, and after thinking for a moment, he took out his candy box and gave two candies. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Cheng Che, and I am indeed a stowaway."
Gallagher: ...
Gallagher raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Che with an emotionless gaze. After a moment of silence, he sighed imperceptibly, "And then?"
Cheng Che seemed a little speechless, and said in confusion: "I turned myself in, so isn't it you who will arrange the next things? Interrogating, imprisoning, finding evidence and convicting... Isn't this your job?"
what?
Do you still let the criminals investigate their own cases these days?
"Oh." Gallagher responded, lowered his head to drink, and didn't want to pay any attention to it.
The scene fell into silence for a moment. Xing Momo turned around and looked at Cheng Che, confusion written all over his eyes.
Cheng Che had a calm expression on his face. He patted Xing's hand to comfort her, then moved to Gallagher's side holding a glass of wine.
Gallagher raised his eyes slightly, his eyebrows raised a little to express doubt, "What's the matter?"
"Interview."
Cheng Che spoke calmly, looking at Gallagher seriously, "Are you really thirteen years old?"
"Do you exercise regularly?"
“Can you send me a copy of your daily recipe?”
“How do you stay in shape?”
“Would you like to share your experience with me?”
"Or... are you blessed with abundance? Or are you just gifted?"
“Can you give me some advice on my body shape and fitness routine?”
A series of questions came out of Cheng Che's mouth at a rapid speed, and Xing and Gallagher's expressions instantly became synchronized.
His eyes were confused and unfocused, and he stared at Cheng Che blankly with his mouth slightly open, as if he was thinking about what the other person had asked.
After a while, Gallagher finally came back to his senses, raised his hand and touched his chest, and said incoherently, "You...you are really the first person to ask me such a question."
These days, it seems like even sheriffs are being harassed.
Chapter 19: Extra
“This doesn’t look good.”
"How about this one? The turquoise goes with his hair."
"It doesn't look good. It needs to be more fancy."
"You are dressing up as a peacock!"
"You don't understand. Colorful clothes suit him very well."
Amidst all the noise, Sha Jin was taken by the waiter to change clothes one after another. The smile on his face had long disappeared, leaving only silence.
He wore a shirt and looked expressionlessly at the siblings sitting on the sofa not far away, took a deep breath, and said, "I think it's ok, I can't change it anymore."
Hearing this, Cheng Che turned his head to look at his sister beside him, "Sister, there are still my clothes."
Cheng Tan waved his hand, "Did you take note of what I just said? If you did, go and measure the size and send it to your home."
The waiter nodded, then left quickly, placing two small snacks on the coffee table before leaving.
Cheng Che looked sideways at Sha Jin and said in confusion, "It seems that there is no clothing that can expose the chest..."
"Why are you exposing your breasts? Children should wear clothes that children should wear." Cheng Tan frowned, rubbed Sha Jin's head with his palm, and finally squinted his eyes to look at the ends of her hair. "Okay, go take care of your hair later, and then we can end today's trip."
Shajin moved to the sofa and sat down, and asked in confusion: "Hair care?"
"Yes, this place respects the clothes first and then the person. The clothes can be casual, but the shoes must be comfortable and the hair must be well-groomed." Cheng Che leaned over to take a look at the ends of Sha Jin's hair and nodded affirmatively, "Malnutrition."
Gold Dust: ...
Shajin tilted his head and looked at Cheng Che, "And then?"
"That's all. I measure my size every once in a while. The pajamas, underwear and bottoms I wear next to my body are all made according to this specification. As for what I wear outside... I have to shop around and buy them myself." Cheng Che pointed to a cell phone that didn't look very advanced. "Online shopping is available, but it's still in the development stage."
Sha Jin nodded thoughtfully, and just as he was about to say something, he saw the girl's eyes light up.
Cheng Tan leaned against the sofa holding a teacup, silent for a moment as if thinking about something, then picked up his phone, "Remind me, I'll go do some online shopping to make some money."
Cheng Che: ...
Gold Dust: ...
confused.
Still confused.
Sha Jin stared blankly at a little girl who was not even an adult yet picked up her cell phone and quickly swiped out the project team, assigning tasks into the phone, and rubbed her face after a while.
This family...
If this family became employees of the Interstellar Peace Company, they would definitely be able to do better than him.
After a while, Cheng Tan put down his phone, looked up at the gold dust, and then looked at Cheng Che inquiringly, "Grandma asked what material the amulet should be made of. It seems that he prefers green things, but he is not quite the same as Ah Ming."
"Aventurine..." Cheng Che was in a trance for a moment, thinking about the imperial green that Su Ming liked, and then looked at the aventurine. "Aventurine is a bit cheap in my hometown. Can I find some other jade to make a talisman for you?"
Shajin was stunned for a moment, "Okay."
Do you need to be prepared?
Will they force him to have pigtails?
He didn’t want that. Cheng Che’s pigtails were so long!
"Let's find a piece of turquoise stone." Cheng Che's eyes swept over the gold dust and he made another request with confidence, "I also want a bracelet made of turquoise. He likes it. Oh, and let's make a necklace with my sapphire for him."
Cheng Tan: ...
How generous.
Some time ago, she wanted a pearl from Cheng Che as part of her coming-of-age gift, and she paid the price for it.
Cheng Che looked at the text message from the bank and looked up at his sister. "I have no money. Can you help me buy some stones?"
Yes, but you can't miss the opportunity to make money and work hard to enrich your own piggy bank.
"I don't believe it." Cheng Tan shook his head, his face calm, "Don't think I don't know that you have never spent all the New Year's money you received since you were a child except on buying a piano!"
Cheng Che frowned and looked at his sister. After a moment of silence, he rushed over and buried his head in Cheng Tan's arms, "Please, sister, the child is so poor."
Sha Jin turned around instantly, feeling no desire to live.
Didn't see it.
……
Half an hour later, Cheng Che was satisfied with the two allowances. He handed one to Sha Jin and felt extremely relieved after getting on the train. "I'm happy now. Look at what kind of life I've been living on the train! I was a good young master, but now I'm so poor that I have to pick up trash!"
Shajin was at a loss for words, "You're not that poor, are you?"
The amount of money Esther transferred just for food was staggering, not to mention the part-time salary from Luo Fu and the money he occasionally begged for food, plus the occasional robbery...
Is Cheng Che poor?
