Chapter 59: The Photo Trouble

Little An’s call was not answered, so she prepared to call at another time, or wait for the other party to call back. She did not send a message, because she was used to being careful with the people from the Mutual Aid Association, and never discussed sensitive information on the phone or in messages, always arranging to meet in person.

She figured that she could not let Chen Fengshi stay idle, and making him the bridge to communicate with the Mutual Aid Association might be a good choice, because this should also arouse Chen Fengshi’s enthusiasm to be a volunteer.

Letting Chen Fengshi stay idle, the more Little An thought about it, the unhappier she became; the less he wanted to be a volunteer, the more she wanted him to be one! Until he woke up and obediently came begging her to take him into the association and pay him a salary!

So she sent a message: ‘I’m leaving the responsibility of contacting that group of cautious partners to you, there are many beauties, which can comfort your broken heart.’

At this time, Xiao Fei had drunk too much, and playing mahjong without betting money felt quite boring, so it was better to go home and sleep, so she said she was uncomfortable from drinking too much and wanted to go home.

Skinny persuaded unwillingly: “Don’t! It’s not easy to come here, and you’re leaving so soon? Then the value of the money spent is dug out to be too low! The longer we stay here, the longer the right to use the money we spent buys, and the more worth it is!”

“I don’t care, I want to go home and sleep, if you want to stay then you stay!” Xiao Fei absolutely could not stand Skinny’s creepiness, she had already given enough support, and now she was very sleepy.

Big Guy dragged Skinny out impatiently, saying: “Let’s go, let’s go, next time Old Chen says to come again, isn’t that enough for you to show off?”

Skinny was very reluctant, but seeing the situation there was no way, it would be boring if he stayed alone.

Out of the private room, he saw a long-haired beauty in the hallway seemingly looking for a private room number, he instantly got excited, took his phone and gave it to Xiao Fei, saying: “Hurry, hurry! The task of finding a suitable angle and expression is yours! Speed!”

Xiao Fei couldn’t stand his creepiness, but still took the phone, satisfying Skinny’s wish to show off.

She took a bunch of photos along the way, and Skinny picked a very suitable one to post on his Moments.

In the photo, Skinny was acting very arrogant and proudly pulling his clothes, because of the angle, the beauty looking for a room seemed to be following behind him, and her somewhat anxious searching expression seemed to be because of Skinny’s heartless departure.

Taking things out of context, using the montage technique, Skinny simply used it to perfection.

This photo on Skinny’s Moments was paired with a sentence: ‘Men, leave when they want to. The pleading from behind is just a foil to my will.’

Skinny was very satisfied, simply full of infinite praise for this picture, text, and scene.

Leaving the hotel, Chen Fengshi called a car to send Skinny and Big Guy off, and right before leaving, Xiao Fei suddenly asked him: “Old Chen, you said earlier that it’s not convenient to live at home when doing things later, so don’t you have to rent a place?”

“I haven’t decided where to rent yet.”

“Might as well be near the school, it’s much cheaper than the city, and it just so happens that a friend found a job two days ago, her studio apartment is quite nice.”

Chen Fengshi thought it was good too, anyway it was best for him to stay away from the city right now, as for the nights, he could just ride his motorcycle around, and if he really needed to practice driving, buying a used car wouldn’t make that distance a problem, and it would also be convenient to meet up with them when free, so he said: “Okay!”

“Alright then, I’ll send you photos tomorrow, take a look, and if it’s suitable I’ll help you negotiate the price, if you can take it over, she won’t lose her deposit, so it should be easy to talk about.” Xiao Fei settled it with him, then waved goodbye, and took a taxi back with Big Guy and Skinny.

After sending them off, Chen Fengshi finally had time to check his messages, and seeing that Little An wanted him to contact the Mutual Aid Association, he couldn’t help but have a moment of doubt, did Little An know that he had met Juzi?

Immediately he felt it was absurd, what did it matter whether she knew or not.

Thinking of Juzi, Chen Fengshi felt a bit worried again, this worry ultimately stemmed from doubt. Because he always felt that Juzi shouldn’t forget their agreement, nor should she not reply to his messages.

Unless, she blamed him? Intentionally cut off contact? Was she regretting what happened last night? Or did she feel that she had given him a chance, but he chose to refuse? Rather than dealing with lingering ties, simply cut off all contact?

For a moment, Chen Fengshi had a lot of messy guesses in his head, but because there was no basis for them, they could only be wild thoughts.

He was actually quite willing to do things like being responsible for contacting the Mutual Aid Association, just because Juzi was in the Mutual Aid Association, he was quite happy to play the role of messenger. But, it was getting late, and he was still concerned about Young Master Wang’s final payment, so he had no time to chat with Little An about this, and he didn’t want to reply so quickly either, letting her guess for a while was pretty good too.

So he replied with a message: “I’ll think about it, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow or the day after.”

“This matter relates to the advancement of the subsequent work.”

“Haha… I’m a volunteer, don’t pressure me.” Chen Fengshi refused straightforwardly, actually he figured that after getting Young Master Wang’s final payment, he might give her a definite answer, but right now he just wanted to pretend he didn’t care, to pretend he wasn’t interested.

“If you don’t have time then forget it, I’ll find someone else.”

“Tell me when you find someone, it can save me some effort.” Chen Fengshi dismissed Little An’s feigned retreat with scorn, what a joke! He knew how to mobilize the masses to besiege the tallest, strongest, and best fighter in the kindergarten class when he was in kindergarten, and he also knew how to use emotion and reason to divide that person’s friends, eventually turning them all into his own pillar of strength, from then on he had no rivals in the kindergarten.

He used this resource all the way until he finished elementary school, and even in middle school they were still good friends who gave each other face, it was just that he was kind-hearted, and the older he got, the less willing he was to use tactics to exploit others, only using them to protect himself.

Growing up under his dad’s influence, he was immune to all kinds of schemes, how could he fall for her trick? Chen Fengshi thought of Juzi again… hmm, objectively speaking, as for this honey trap, he was still quite far from being immune.

Little An had long accepted Chen Fengshi’s challenging rivalry, so she chose to give it the cold treatment and said no more. She believed Chen Fengshi would definitely be interested in the Mutual Aid Association; for someone who possessed the Power of Life, who wouldn’t want to know about the existence of more companions?

Little An went silent, and Chen Fengshi didn’t pester her either, he was just replying to Sister Yao’s message, considering that he could agree to Jiang Yuan tonight, and then make an appointment to meet Shen Ai?

Suddenly, a rather pleasant but very angry questioning voice called out from behind. “Where is that skinny monkey friend of yours?”

Chen Fengshi turned around in surprise, and saw the long-haired beauty in the gold dress from the photo Skinny just posted on his Moments, holding up her phone with an angry face, and the screen showed the exact photo Skinny had just shared! She was also followed by two other pretty beauties, one had her arms crossed over her chest with a frosty face, clearly meaning to see how he would reply; the other had a face full of disdain, as if Chen Fengshi had done something to let her down.

‘Damn! This is too bizarre? Someone on Skinny’s Moments knows her?’ Chen Fengshi’s mood was simply a mess in the wind… the trouble this caused, it was obvious their actions were unkind, and they had accidentally smeared someone else. As a friend, and a good friend at that, shouldn’t he step up and take responsibility at a time like this?

So, Chen Fengshi apologized very sincerely, saying: “I am extremely sorry about this matter, we did something unkind. It’s also my fault, my friend here fell in love with you at first sight, but wanted to hit on you yet lacked the courage, he felt inferior and thought hitting on you was hopeless. I couldn’t bear to see his depressed look at the time, so I gave him such a bad idea to trick him into being happy, saying that in this era of internet information, if he posted such a photo, I figured it wouldn’t be long before you, beauty, would definitely come looking for him instead.”

“…Damn!” The beauty with the frosty face raised her hand to stroke her hair, then held her head and said: “What kind of brain circuit is this!”

The long-haired beauty in the gold dress who had angrily chased them out to question them was also dumbfounded, she had anticipated every possible answer, but just never expected such a ridiculous reason…

The one with the disdainful face, who loved to mock the most among the three, stared at Chen Fengshi mockingly and said: “As expected of the cheating legend of Xuancheng University, even the brain circuit for picking up girls is so bizarre!”

Chen Fengshi finally understood why this girl was looking at him like that, it turned out she had friends at Xuancheng University, knew about him taking the blame, had probably seen his photo, and recognized him early on.

The long-haired beauty in the gold dress snapped out of it at this moment, and curiously looked Chen Fengshi up and down with her eyes, thinking to herself that it was no wonder this cheating legend could date more than twenty beauties at the same time, and had every one of them wrapped around his finger, he really did have a good-looking face, especially that skin, it was so good it made women jealous, she even wanted to ask him how he took care of it!

But, this was not the key point right now.

She came back to her senses, and laughed out of anger. “Are you insulting our intelligence? Call him right now, put it on speaker, and chat with him according to what I write on my phone, if he really knows your so-called bizarre brain circuit reason for hitting on someone, I’ll let this go!”

Chen Fengshi was convinced, which liar said that? Who said women with big breasts have no brains? Totally unreliable! Was this girl brainless? Was she brainless?

Chen Fengshi cupped his hands in a gesture of respect with a look of admiration and said: “Meeting three fairies like you who possess both beauty and wisdom today, I am completely convinced! I did something unkind in this matter, and I tried to play tricks to escape responsibility in front of you three fairies, punishing both crimes together, besides a sincere apology, what other punishment do you three have, please tell me!”

“Hey— you actually dare to admit it?” The beauty with the frosty face was convinced, feeling that Chen Fengshi could really be shameless with a serious face! This level of thick skin was simply invulnerable to swords and spears!

“Rip him off! Rip him off to death!” The girl who disdained Chen Fengshi immediately chimed in.

Chen Fengshi spread his hands apologetically and said: “If you three want to use knives to rip me off, that can be considered, but if you want to rip off my wallet, then I can only say sorry, I’m dead broke, if I scrape together my entire net worth, it probably wouldn’t even be enough to buy you three a few hair clips.”

Saying such things in front of three beauties, well, the other two girls were convinced, a man whose skin was this thick, there was no hope of doing anything to him!

It was still the long-haired beauty in the gold dress who spoke, her face still showed anger, it seemed she really minded the photo. “Although I have serious opinions about your reputation! But speaking of the matter itself, the photo was sent by your friend, whether it’s an apology or how to deal with it, it has to be him! You want to take the blame for your friend, I respect you for being loyal, and I won’t make things difficult for you, but if your friend doesn’t come over to give an explanation today, I will go to your school and demand one!”

Facing such a fierce girl, what could Chen Fengshi say? He could only silently cup his hands to express his respect, and then call Skinny.

“Come on, the long-haired beauty in the gold dress who you fell in love with at first sight and can’t stop thinking about wants to see you, she’s right where we just dropped you off, she was so excited she chased us out, so stop hesitating and hurry back!”
