Chapter 20: Meeting an old friend at the station

By Mason Vale · 1618 words

After making a lot of money, he could return to his hometown in fine clothes and try his best to show off in front of relatives and friends, but he was stuck in another place due to a heavy snowfall. Kai Wei felt depressed, and so did Ethan Yi and Chloe Chang.

The vibe was all confidence on the outside and panic notifications under the lock screen.

The three of them carried their luggage and walked back from the high-speed rail station in a dejected manner. Out of boredom, Kai Wei stopped in front of a stall selling certificates, the kind that sold funny certificates, such as handsome boy certificates, good family woman certificates, and orders to pick up girls, etc.

Kai Wei picked up a police card and waved it at Ethan Yi, "You said if you put a photo on this thing and hang it on your chest, no one would dare to mess with it?"

"Don't be ridiculous, there isn't even a steel seal," Ethan Yi said.

Suddenly Kai Wei's eyes were covered, and a soft voice came into his ears, "Guess who I am?"

Xiao Xiang and Kai Wei secretly thought that something was not right, but Chloe Chang was right next to him.

In desperation, Kai Wei forcefully opened the other party's hand and looked over, only to see Xiao Xiang standing there excitedly, with several large and small bags beside him.

Chloe Chang felt unhappy when she saw Xiao Xiang making trouble with Kai Wei.

Kai Wei bought the police ID card and installed it, and hurriedly introduced to Xiao Xiang, "This is my girlfriend, Chloe Chang."

Xiao Xiang was stunned immediately

Chloe Chang also saw something was wrong. She remembered the first time she called Kai Wei. After Kai Wei received her call, the first thing he said was: Damn girl, it's all your fault. I just slept with you last night and you miss me so early in the morning.

Chloe Chang didn't ask much about this matter. After all, she was his girlfriend now, and the past was in the past. Now that she saw Xiao Xiang, she couldn't help but worry. Could it be that she was the woman mentioned on the phone?

"Chloe, her name is Xiao Xiang, a friend I met on the high-speed rail," Kai Wei said.

Chloe Chang nodded perfunctorily at Xiao Xiang.

"Hey" a boy ran over and stopped to talk to Xiao Xiang, "I asked, because of the snow, the high-speed rail is not open and we can't go back."

"How could this happen?" Xiao Xiang became depressed.

"You just know," Ethan Yi said, "We just came back from the station, and we can't go home this year. I said, sister, why don't you celebrate the New Year with us?"

Ethan Yi had his own little plan when he said this. Seeing Xiao Xiang's beauty, he felt a little itchy in his heart. Also, the boy who just came over looked somewhat similar to Xiao Xiang. He should be his biologically related brother or younger brother, and he was definitely not a couple. Anyway, I am currently single, so there is nothing wrong with doing it.

"Sorry, no time," the boy said, his tone full of disdain.

Xiao Xiang hurriedly smoothed things over, "I forgot to introduce you. This is my younger brother Xiao Ziming. He is studying in college here."

It turns out that this is the younger brother that Xiao Xiang said is unskilled and unskilled in work and study, Kai Wei thought to himself as he looked at this young man. He has a face as beautiful as his sister, and he is dressed similarly to his sister. He has a yellowish afro, earrings, and even eyeshadow. He is quite tall, but very skinny.

Looking at the lost boy's attire, Kai Wei remembered the seven-color light at that time and had the urge to educate him.

"Hello." Kai Wei smiled and nodded at Xiao Ziming in greeting.

Xiao Ziming replied coldly, "Yeah" and looked away, as if he was an emperor accepting the worship of the common people.

He was so damn cold. The more Kai Wei thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wanted to teach him a lesson. This is a common problem among many young people who love to show off. They dress themselves up in an avant-garde and fashionable manner, and then assume a cold posture, making them look outstanding, untainted, and going their own way, as if they are the masters of this world.

Kai Wei knows the reason for this, he just watched idol dramas. Most of the male protagonists in idol dramas are tall, rich and handsome, show off in various ways, look down on others, and only obey the heroine's words. So at that time, there was a trend of imitation in the school, and many boys tried to attract girls by pretending to be cool. Needless to say, it really worked, because girls were even more harmed by idol dramas.

"Why don't we have dinner together?" Ethan Yi said.

"No need" Xiao Xiang and Xiao Ziming said in unison, but their expressions were completely different. Xiao Xiang smiled apologetically, looking embarrassed. Xiao Ziming had a face as cold as ice.

"Let's go." Xiao Xiang pulled her brother, but her brother threw his sleeves away and Xiao Ziming walked forward alone. Xiao Xiang hurriedly picked up large and small bags and chased after him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he caught up, Xiao Ziming quickened his pace and distanced himself.

Ethan Yi reached out and poked Kai Wei, "They are not biological, right?"

"It must be a kiss," Kai Wei said.

Chloe Chang also asked, "Then why does her brother always avoid her for fear that others will misunderstand that they are a couple? Is there anything to be afraid of?"

After listening to Chloe Chang's words, Kai Wei got a revelation and understood what was going on. For the sake of face, Kai Wei had also deliberately alienated Xiao Xiang because of the nature of her work. Her brother must have also done this.

Thinking of this, Kai Wei felt guilty. How could he educate Xiao Ziming if he was like this?

"Let's go, let's leave their family affairs alone." Kai Wei said.

"Wait a minute, look." Ethan Yi pointed in the direction where the siblings were leaving, "They entered the pedicure shop."

Kai Wei looked in the direction and saw the massage parlor brand "Shuangren Pedicure". It turns out that Shuangren Foot Spa is near the high-speed rail station. Xiao Xiang once said that she works in Ding'an District, and the high-speed rail station belongs to Ding'an District.

"This girl is pretty good," Ethan Yi said.

"Do you want to introduce me to the pedicure person?" Kai Wei asked.

Hearing what Kai Wei said, Chloe Chang felt relieved. It seemed that the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

"What's wrong with pedicures? Most people who get pedicures are forced by life. Do you think they are willing?" Ethan Yi said.

Kai Wei admitted that he was not as discerning as Ethan Yi on this point. Ethan Yi has a completely playful character, but he values ​​face and his own interests.

He made 1.5 million and gave 50,000 to Ethan Yi. If Ethan Yi made so much money, he would definitely be able to give him more than 100,000.

Thinking of this, Kai Wei secretly made up his mind to change this bad habit.

"Hey, how about we go get a pedicure?" As soon as Kai Wei finished speaking, Chloe Chang grabbed his ear.

Kai Wei grinned in pain and hurriedly explained, "It's just a pedicure. You can do it too. The three of us can do it together."

Chloe Chang then let go, "I've never been to that kind of place, is it fun?" She was also very curious.

Ethan Yi hurriedly explained, "Chloe, you are overthinking. Most people only go for pedicures to relax. You are also under a lot of work pressure. Anyway, you have nothing to do now, so let's go together to relieve fatigue." In terms of seniority in the village, Ethan Yi should call Kai Wei uncle, but there is only one year difference between the two. Ethan Yi always calls Kai Wei by his first name, so he also calls Chloe Chang by his first name.

"Which place to go to?" In order to avoid Chloe Chang from overthinking, Kai Wei deliberately consulted Ethan Yi.

"Of course that one" Ethan Yi pointed at Shuangren Foot Spa.

"Brother, please excuse me." A young woman suddenly stopped Ethan Yi.

Ethan Yi shook his windbreaker and said, "What's the matter, sister?"

"My mother and I are working here. It's snowing heavily and we can't go home. Brother, you look talented and you must be a successful person. Can you help me with two hundred yuan? Let's leave each other's phone numbers and I will repay you in the future."

Good guy, you are so cruel, this woman is a liar at first glance. Obviously those who work here will have no money to celebrate the New Year. Even if they don't have the money to celebrate the New Year, they won't just find a job for two days. Even if you can't find a job, don't ask for such a harsh price when begging. You are obviously using the lust of men to defraud money.

Ethan Yi chuckled, patted Kai Wei on the shoulder and said, "Do you know what this buddy of mine does?"

"A successful person like you"

"Successful!" Ethan Yi winked at Kai Wei and said, "Brother, show her your ID."
