Chapter 4: Top Star Battle 2
The car was speeding on the road, the scene outside the window was blurred, I sat in the passenger seat and tightened my seat belt. Lin Tong hadn't said a word since he got in the car, staring at the road ahead with empty eyes, just stepping on the accelerator, maybe this was his way of venting, anyway, it was the first time I saw him so depressed.
"You get out first, I'll back the car into the parking space." After arriving at the parking lot, Lin Tong instructed. I didn't dare to object at this time and got out of the car obediently.
"Ah, Yuanwan! Why are you here?" Just as I was standing there waiting for Lin Tong, Guan Qiao's figure appeared not far away. She saw me at a glance and ran over to me jumping and skipping.
"I came here to have dinner with Lin Tong." I explained to her.
"What a coincidence! I'm here to eat too. By the way, have you read the explosive post on the Green Lemon Forum?" Guan Qiao showed her gossipy nature and said excitedly, "You can guess with your toes that it was Mi Lu who did it! Isn't Mi Lu's trick too powerful? How vicious must one be to come up with such a shady trick!"
"Crack!" I deliberately coughed loudly a few times.
Please, Lin Tong is still around! I don't want to discuss this with her now, but unfortunately, no matter how much I wink at her or even pinch her waist, she can't understand.
"Why are you pinching me?" Guan Qiao slapped my hand away and rolled her eyes. "You're not going to say 'forgive others when you can' again this time, are you? Is she a human? People are not as evil as she is."
"I know you're afraid of trouble and don't want to pay attention to her, but Miss Magical Soft, look carefully. Since the message was posted, more than 2,000 people have unfollowed you!"
Oh my God...the more I tried to get her to shut up, the more she kept talking.
"Yuan Wan, it turns out that you are the magical Ruan Ruan!" Just as I was holding my forehead, Lin Tong had already walked out of the car and looked at me in surprise.
"Ah..." Guan Qiao shut up after realizing that he had said something wrong.
"Oh my God, this...Oh my God!" Lin Tong scratched his head and excitedly circled in front of me, almost blinding my eyes.
"How could this happen? How could this happen!" He finally stopped and grabbed my shoulders and shook me hard. "Then didn't I lead a bunch of netizens to attack you for no reason? Oh my God, I was so stupid. If I had known that you were Shenqi Ruanruan, I would never do such a thing!"
Before I felt dizzy, I broke free from his hands. Lin Tong looked shocked, and I glared at Guan Qiao fiercely, unable to help but smile bitterly.
"Uh... well, can you keep the fact that I'm Magical Soft a secret for me?"
"Huh..." Lin Tong took a deep breath and regained his former vitality. He shook my hand excitedly, "Okay, I promise you."
"Since you are Magical Soft, I have decided!" He suddenly raised his voice and put his hands heavily on my shoulders, "I want to completely break away from Milu and become your fan!"
"What?"
Guan Qiao and I looked at each other. Her eyes were as confused as mine.
“Ding Ling Ling——”
Who is this? You called me so early on a Saturday morning. Can I sleep?
"Are you awake?" I pressed the answer button in a daze, and a nice male voice came from the other end of the phone. I pried open my eyelids and looked at the caller ID. It was indeed Zeng Chen calling me.
"How can I not wake up under your bombardment?" I stretched and sat up from the bed.
"Then come find me at the gate of my community. Work has begun."
start?
By the way, I promised Zeng Chen that I would be his guide.
I happened to be free , because Mi Lu's rumor-mongering caused quite a stir, I planned to suspend the live broadcast for a few days, and wait for everyone's indignation to pass, and then find a way to explain, so I was free anyway. Besides, Zeng Chen still had to pay me a commission, so it didn't stop me from making money.
" See you in 10 minutes then." After hanging up the phone, I immediately got up and washed up.
It was sunny outside the window and didn't seem too cold, so I casually put on an off-white turtleneck sweater, blue jeans and sneakers, and went out.
Ten minutes later, I showed up at the gate of the community on time, but I didn't see Zeng Chen. The breakfast shops at the gate of the community opened one after another, and just as I was salivating over the steaming buns, a black jeep stopped in front of me. Zeng Chen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, rolled down the window and said hello.
"Yuan Wan."
When I noticed how he was dressed today, I couldn't help but be shocked.
We actually wore the same clothes!
He was wearing a beige sweater similar to mine, paired with jeans and sneakers. What's even more coincidental is that he also wore black-framed glasses like me!
"Don't look at it." Zeng Chen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of my eyes, "Hurry up and get in the car."
I sat in the passenger seat, rolled my eyes at him unceremoniously, and said, "Who looked at you?"
"I said, did you look at me?"
He glanced at me with a half-smile and restarted the car. I was irritated by his words, turned my face away, and looked at the scenery receding outside the car window in a gloomy mood.
"I made a list. Today I will go to these orphanages to inquire about my brother." Zeng Chen pressed a button, and the smart armrest box next to him opened. "My navigation device is not very accurate. The list is here. Take a look and plan your route quickly."
"Yeah." I took out the list and looked through it carefully.
"Didn't you grow up in Canada?" Looking at his neat handwriting, I couldn't help but sigh, "How come your Chinese characters are so beautiful?"
Every word is vigorous and powerful, and the brushstrokes are flowing like flowing water, which makes me, a "little flower of the motherland" who received traditional education since childhood, feel ashamed.
"I went to Canada when I was a teenager, and I have never forgotten everything I experienced in China." Zeng Chen's voice suddenly lowered.
While I was still blaming myself for bringing up his sad past, he had already changed the subject: "Let's go to Zhien Orphanage first. Have you thought about the route ?"
"I've thought about it." I saw that the next intersection looked familiar, so I directed, "After turning right at the next intersection, we will enter the winding mountain road of Mingyang Mountain. Zhien Orphanage is on the top of the mountain."
Zeng Chen nodded slightly, and the car drove into the winding mountain road. Both sides of the road were lined with lush green pines and cypresses.
" It's still ." Just as I was enjoying the music and the scenery, the navigation system in the car issued a crisp reminder sound.
"squeak--"
Zeng Chen suddenly slammed on the brakes. If I hadn't been protected by the seat belt, I would have flown into the windshield.
