Chapter 173: The Old Friends Meet Happily
"What are you doing here?" the policewoman was annoyed.
Chen Yi came back to his senses and apologized again and again, but fortunately, the police did not pursue it and escorted the thief away.
Wu Ni made up her mind and said, "Scare me to death, but you're really amazing!"
Chu Hemeng shook his head with a light smile, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Chen Yi staring at him intently, and he chuckled in his heart. This man looks about the same age as them, with a handsome and delicate face, but he has more extravagance and a kingly spirit than Wu Fei's scholarly anger, and he is enough to make people unforgettable. But why did he keep staring at himself? Chu Hemeng frowned in confusion.
"I continue to move books, you wait for me here. β
Chu Hemeng pursed his lips and walked around Chen Yi to the side of the road. Chen Yi walked over unconsciously, and when he raised his hand to call Chu Hemeng, he didn't expect Chu Hemeng to be extremely sensitive, and he pressed him on top of the cardboard box by clasping Chen Yi's arm with his backhand, Wu Ni gasped and hurriedly trotted over.
"What are you doing sneakily staring at me all the time?"
"It's not...... I just ......"
"Who are you?"
"I justγI just think you're a friend of mine, my name is Chenyi, Han Chenyi!"
Chu Hemeng was stunned, Chen Yi?
Han Chenyi turned his head and asked impatiently, "Do you remember me? Are you Chu Hemeng in the church orphanage?"
Chu Hemeng thought about it suddenly, immediately let go of Han Chenyi, and said in disbelief: "Han Chenyi, you are Han Chenyi, who often came to the orphanage to play when you were a child, and once sat on a piece of shit?"
Han Chenyi immediately coughed a few times dryly, and said with a smile: "In this way, you are really that Chu Hemeng......
"Oh my God, you've grown so tall in the blink of an eye...... I remember when you were a kid you weren't as tall as I was!"
Chu Hemeng looked at him in disbelief, but Han Chenyi smiled shyly and said, "I didn't expect you to remember me, it's just some shit thing, you don't have to remember it so clearly, right?"
"I still remember a lot of your troubles!"
"Alright, alright!"
Morning glow hung lazily over them, and the laughter of reminiscing about childhood anecdotes was as pleasant as the song of a bird.
"Do you two know each other?"
Chu Hemeng smiled lightly and took Wu Ni's arm and introduced: "This is a playmate when I was a child, the only playmate, Han Chenyi. And this is the female owner of this bookstore, Wu Ni, and now I am working in this bookstore. β
"Hello, just call me Chenyi. Han Chenyi shook hands with Wu Ni generously.
"Do you have to carry these boxes alone?"
Han Chenyi pointed to the five or six boxes left in front of him and looked at Chu Hemeng in surprise.
Chu Hemeng shook his head and smiled wryly, "Now that I have you, of course I'm not alone." β
"You've been brute force since you were a kid and you've never been able to use your brains, is that the case now?"
Chu Hemeng pouted: "I haven't seen each other for so many years, and you hurt me like this?"
Han Chenyi patted Chu Hemeng's shoulder proudly, turned his head to look at Wu Ni, and asked, "Your house is a bookstore, there should be a trolley for transporting books on and off the shelves, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, but it's broken, and I haven't had time to find someone to fix it. β
"It's okay, you take me to see, if it's not a big problem, I should be able to fix it. β
"It's right in the bookstore, I've put it out, and there are so many books here. β
With that, Wu Ni turned around and returned to the bookstore, leaving only Chu Hemeng and Han Chenyi to tell the story of what had happened over the years under Chenhui. And the two men in black hiding in the dark were drinking milk boringly, flipping through the newspaper, which had holes pierced by fingers, and something flashed behind it, which was particularly conspicuous.
"So, you're white-collar now?"
Han Chenyi scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm not a white-collar worker, I just work in a small company around the corner." β
"Then do you want to ask for a part-time job?" Chu Hemeng asked with a blank eye, "Although I work in a bookstore, I don't have a salary here, but I only have food, so I want to find another paid temporary job." β
"Why do you have to be a part-time part-time part-time worker? I remember that you like stage drama very much, and now that you are graduating from the acting department, you can find a regular job in the theater company!"
Chu Hemeng sighed, clasped his hands on his shoulders and said: "You are the first person who knows my dream, and you also know that I will always persevere, but now it is forced by reality, I don't even have living expenses, how can I chase my dreams? β
"Actually, I have friends in the troupe ......"
"Stop! You know me, I don't like to be involved. β
Han Chenyi nodded with a light smile and said, "Then I will cheer you silently behind your back as before!"
"It's pretty much the same!" Chu Hemeng said with a smile and stretched out his hand to put his hand on Han Chenyi's shoulder, and the two of them were extremely intimate.
Wuni came over with a cart with one less wheel and smiled, "You two don't look like friends you haven't seen in ten years. β
Chu Hemeng smiled: "Because our heart is still the same heart back then! Come, you hurry up and see if you can repair it." β
Han Chenyi nodded, half-squatted down, and fiddled with Chu Hemeng's head to head.
Wuni looked at them and smiled meaningfully.
And the two people who were watching Chu Hemeng on the side also looked at each other and smiled, they had been using their mobile phones ** Chu Hemeng and Han Chenyi, and now they could explain to their boss again.
It didn't take long for the cart to be repaired under Han Chenyi's fiddling, and Chu Hemeng pushed the cart very easily and transported the twelve boxes of books to the library. Han Chenyi also helped them count the books and whether the number was appropriate, and Chu Hemeng was worried that he would skip work and be scolded and deduct his salary, so he pushed Han Chenyi out of the bookstore.
"You're always here, then I'll come over after work and invite you to dinner." β
"Got it, you should hurry up and go to work!"
Chu Hemeng closed the door of the bookstore, but Han Chenyi still stood at the door stupidly and smiled.
It's been ten years, and the first thing he did after returning to China was to go to the orphanage to find Chu Hemeng, but the nun's mother refused to tell him, he didn't expect to have such a coincidence on the street, can't it be called fate? Han Chenyi smiled silently in his heart, his eyes were soft like a junior of his first love, and he reluctantly left.
Han Chenyi walked past the two men who were spying on Chu Hemeng, and he didn't know who he couldn't wait to call.
"Hello, is it the head of Lan Ying? I'm Chen Yi, I have already written the script of the drama I told you before, but I have a request for the heroine, can you please help me with this?"
Han Chenyi paused, looked back at the non-you bookstore meaningfully, and said slowly: "Because this is in my mind, there is an actor, she is the best candidate for my heroine!"
The morning in the bookstore was very deserted, and there were almost no customers, so Wu Ni simply left the counter to help Chu Hemeng count the new books in the stack. By the time the two of them were chatting and finishing, it was already noon. When Wu Fei returned to the bookstore, he couldn't see the two of them, so he watched them walk in the direction of the bookstore.
"I've been busy all morning and I'm finally done!" Chu Hemeng stretched happily, and then he caught a glimpse of Wu Fei, who was smiling lightly.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Wu Fei greeted him.
Chu Hemeng waved his hand and said, "How can there be such a polite boss! β
"There is no problem with the new arrivals, but we still have a lot of books in stock, and we buy these books again, do you sell them?"
Wu Fei gently touched the top of Wu Ni's head and comforted: "Don't worry, my brother naturally has a way." β
"Then I'll go and give you a hot meal. Wuni smiled and went upstairs.
"I'm looking at the counter, you go up and put down your bag!"
Chu Hemeng rubbed his head slightly from Wu Fei's side, and it was a faint, indescribable fragrance.
Wu Fei was a little addicted but quickly came back to his senses, put down his schoolbag, and went to the kitchen to help Wu Ni.
This bookstore was left by their grandparents, the first floor is for selling books, the second floor is for the bathroom and kitchen, and there is a book stack, and the third floor is for housing, and the siblings have always lived here, saving a lot of trouble.
While washing the dishes, Wu Ni chatted: "It turns out that Mengmeng, like us, is an orphan without a father or mother. β
Wu Fei held the hand of the kitchen knife for a moment, and raised his head in shock, "How do you know?"
"Today Meng Meng met her childhood playmate, and I only found out when they were chatting. Their relationship is very good, and when they only met today, they couldn't even tell that they were friends who hadn't been in touch for ten years. I really want to have such a good friend!"
Wu Fei absentmindedly cut the vegetables and asked, "That friend, is it a man or a woman?"
"Man, he looks very handsome, I think it's a good match for Meng Meng!"
"Oh. After Wu Fei answered, he didn't say anything more.
Wu Ni chatted about catching the thief again, and when she put the peeled loofah on the plate and served it to Wu Fei, she couldn't help but say, "Brother, what are you cutting?"
Wu Fei came back to his senses and looked down, only to realize that he wanted to slice the tomatoes, but cut them into tomato puree.
"Brother, I'll come, you've studied hard today, I'll come, I'll ......"
Wu Ni snatched Wu Fei's position and instigated him to go out to help Chu Hemeng.
Wu Fei stood in the corridor on the second floor in a daze, and could clearly see Chu Hemeng who was collecting money for the guests.
After lunch and a short rest, Wu Fei stayed in his room and read. Wu Ni and Chu Hemeng are still busy in the store, and in the afternoon there are gradually more customers, especially after school and after work in the afternoon, many students will come to buy exercises and comics, and adults after work will come to help the children buy things, or pass the time waiting for the bus, because the bus stop is in front of the bookstore. In the evening, more people come to read books, but half of the people who end up buying books are good.
"Business is good!"
