Chapter Seven: Bengbu

"Hey, Brother Lin, we saw you racing last time. You drove so fast, we guys were all dumbfounded."

Now that you mention it, Lin An seems to remember it.

This summer, Luo Baiwei and Lin An spent a lot of time wandering around aimlessly. Occasionally, when they were really bored, Luo Baiwei would take him to a few local motorcycle enthusiast circles. He should have seen this person before, but Lin An has face blindness and his memory is not very clear.

Chen Shi wasn't particularly embarrassed. He thought it was normal for Lin An not to remember him. After all, to him, Lin An was someone he could never get close to... a big shot.

Although it sounds funny, it's the truth. He even inquired about who could be so close to the eldest daughter of the Luo family. Not many people in the circle knew, but that alone was enough to tell a lot.

"Ah...it's been a long time." Lin An acted as if he remembered who she was, but in reality, his memory was still quite vague.

"Brother Lin, you're here with your girlfriend too?"

"Yes."

"Hey, let those women chat, let's go have a smoke."

"Either is fine." Lin An shrugged.

Everyone present could clearly see Chen Shi's fawning manner, but Chen Shi didn't care about losing face. Face wasn't important most of the time. Lin An told Xiao Chacha, and Xiao Chacha let him go, smiling especially happily.

Because Qin Yi's expression was extremely unpleasant.

The classic show-off-and-face-slapping scene that Xiao Chacha had envisioned didn't happen, but it's not bad as it is now.

After a brief moment of awkward silence, Qin Yi managed a smile and asked Xiao Chacha, "And who is this gentleman in your household?"

"Huh? He just lazes around at home all day, a total shut-in." Xiao Chacha shrugged, suddenly finding it quite amusing.

--------------------------

"Dude, you have good taste. Your girlfriend is beautiful."

Chen Shi skillfully flicked out two cigarettes, lit one for Lin An, and the two sat on the steps looking at the gloomy sky outside. Lin An took a deep breath, and sure enough, it was still quite strong after not smoking for so long.

“Yours isn’t bad either,” Lin An replied after thinking for a moment.

"Hey, how can I compare to you? I had a 'welfare girl' before, someone I met at a nightclub. For 20,000, she unlocked all kinds of positions and could do anything. A monthly fee would only be a few tens of thousands of yuan. If you think it's okay, I'll pack you up and send you to bed tonight. Don't worry, I'll make sure it's kept completely confidential."

Chen Shi gave him a knowing look, and Lin An's lips twitched slightly. "No need, you can have fun."

So that's all there is to it.

“Yeah, I wouldn’t be interested.” Chen Shi took a deep drag on his cigarette, the smoke swirling around him. “This girl is good at playing tricks, but it’s not very interesting. She just wants to hook up with a rich guy, find a few girlfriends to show off, and satisfy her vanity. Deep down, we all know it’s a win-win situation. Actually, I’m getting tired of her. I’ll find someone new next month. I saw a pretty good little internet celebrity the other day.”

Lin An could only smile; even being in a different circle meant being separated by a mountain.

Lin An had just finished a few puffs of his cigarette when Xiao Chacha came out and snatched the cigarette from his mouth, taking a puff herself and leaving a faint pink lipstick mark.

"Why did you come out?"

"It's not fun. I haven't even seen her showing off her superiority yet. She's like she's swallowed a fly now. I'm too lazy to put her down anymore. Anyway, that's how her life is. She's still young and can still exchange her legs for something."

Xiao Chacha sat down next to Lin An, smoking the half-finished cigarette, and suddenly felt a little melancholy and sad.

"Actually, she wasn't like this at first. At first, she genuinely liked dresses and was happy to buy them with her own money. She also took great care of them. Later, she saw others in the circle showing off their dresses every day, but they didn't have the desire to show off. She just felt unbalanced. Later, I exposed her for being a 'welfare girl,' but I was too lazy to expose her. I guess she started working as an escort and then transformed herself into a pure girl to hook up with rich guys."

"I've bought quite a few dresses, but my ambitions have shrunk. I don't need a car or a house; I just want to buy a few dresses to occasionally satisfy my vanity in person. And what about when I get old? Will I just marry an honest man?"

"Don't be so harsh. Honest people aren't stupid; they know what's going on." Lin An asked Chen Shi for another cigarette.

Chen Shi listened from the side, seemingly unconcerned and cheerful.

"How did people end up like this?" Xiao Chacha murmured softly.

People always change, and no one can judge another person's way of life.

"You haven't changed. You still love to ramble on and on about grand principles."

"Damn." Lin An patted Xiao Chacha's head and smiled helplessly. Xiao Chacha took another deep drag of her cigarette, then ran over and kissed him.

"Hey bro, want to exchange contact information? Maybe we can hang out sometime?" Chen Shi chimed in at the opportune moment.

"You want to corrupt my Lin An?" Xiao Chacha hugged Lin An's neck, and Lin An smiled helplessly.

"No, it's just for everyone to have fun, like racing around a couple of times when we're bored."

"I suggest you drive less recklessly." Lin An's lips twitched.

"That's a low-key approach."

Chen Shi's words were true, because the last time he saw Lin An and Luo Baiwei racing, they were completely carefree and unconcerned about their lives.

They actually won't die at all.

"What do you do for a living?" Lin An asked casually.

"Import trade and the like."

Lin An wrote down a phone number for him, saying, "Give me your name and I can help you with something."

Lin An was momentarily dazed. It turned out that he could now communicate with the big shots he had previously regarded in this manner, as if the Ratman had suddenly emerged from the sewer.

However, he does own two very large companies. When he went home with Su Yuejin, Luo Baiwei had him sign a few contracts, and he suddenly became the largest shareholder. Money wasn't important; what mattered was that his resources could be used to cooperate with Su Yuejin's family, saving them a lot of trouble and instantly increasing their goodwill towards him.

Luo Baiwei could easily unearth a gold mine with a simple shake.

After chatting briefly with Chen Shi, Xiao Chacha took Lin An to eat some fruit. They sat in a corner and watched the various older women walking by. Xiao Chacha and Lin An happily scored the women, each choosing the most beautiful one in the room.

Then Xiao Chacha and Lin An chose different people, even though Lin An thought he had won.

"Am I not the most beautiful one here?" Xiao Chacha raised her face, her soft little chest puffed out, proud and arrogant. Lin An had no way to refute her and obediently admitted defeat.

--------------------------------

"Who is Xiao Chacha's boyfriend...?" Qin Yi asked softly, she was still very clear about the situation.

“A big shot I can’t possibly reach.” Chen Shi lit another cigarette. He was in a good mood. The big shot was very kind. He had just checked the phone number. Lin An had essentially given him a lead. Even if he could only help with a small matter, what was a small matter to Lin An was a great gift to him.

"Xiao Chacha is a lucky girl." Qin Yi's tone was slightly sour.

But she couldn't say those words, nor should she have, yet she blurted them out unconsciously.

Chen Shi glanced at her indifferently, and Qin Yi quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing. She hugged Chen Shi's arm and said in a sweet voice, "But none of them are as good as me. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

"Oh, well, now I'm telling you, your luck is over."

"Book a room for me tonight, take your medicine yourself, and after tonight, let's break up tomorrow. Let's part amicably." Chen Shi shrugged, too lazy to show any mercy. Looking at the joyful atmosphere between Xiao Chacha and Lin An just now, he could tell that the two of them were seriously dating.

Suddenly I felt really envious.

He suddenly felt like finding a decent woman to date, as he was getting a little tired of the one next to him.

Qin Yi was stunned by Chen Shi's words, her eyes instantly reddening. She looked at him with a resentful expression, as if condemning a scumbag, "How could you do this to me...?"

"Are you reluctant to part with me or with your bag and dress?" Chen Shi chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"When you choose to spread your legs, you have to know your place. If someone wants you, you have to lie down. If you don't want to play anymore, you have to pack up and get out."

Qin Yi suddenly burst into tears.

-----------------------

"Why is that woman crying?" Xiao Chacha huddled in the corner, watching Qin Yi crying miserably in the distance.

"Maybe she got dumped?" Lin An and Xiao Chacha happily watched the drama unfold.

"That's so tragic."

"What's so tragic about it? This guy probably made a lot of money off her. The girl is still young. If she wants to, she can make money off her for a few more years. She can earn in a few years what ordinary people can't earn in decades. She doesn't feel guilty at all. Her life couldn't be more comfortable."

"I'm so angry and cold, sob sob sob."

"What, are you going to box?" Lin An pinched Xiao Chacha's cheek.

"No, it's quite fun. I don't box. Boxers are women who are unhappy in life. Those who are happy are either fishing for rich men, happily dating, or enriching themselves. What decent girl would box? Only a brainless person would surf the internet about boxing every day. In real life, who would want her? If someone really wanted her, that person, Aki, would be a willing buyer and a willing seller."

Xiao Chacha raised her juice glass and clinked it against Lin An's.

"Disgusting!"

"Mr. Lin An, when are you going to take me as your sugar daddy?" Xiao Chacha started winking at him again.

"Huh? How much do you want per month? Hmm?"

"You can unlock all the poses for just nine yuan!"

"It's all unlocked now, and Cha Cha is just like that, I'm tired of it."

Xiao Chacha punched him on the shoulder, and Lin An helplessly pulled her into his arms. This guy looked at Qin Yi crying miserably with a grin, but Chen Shi was already flirting with other girls in this villa.

Indeed, human joys and sorrows are not shared.

After Lin An and Xiao Chacha finished eating the melon, Lin An drove Xiao Chacha home. Qin Yi had no one to pick her up anymore. She walked up to Xiao Chacha, her eyes still red, and forced a smile. "Could you... give me a ride?"

"Okay."

Before Lin An could refuse, Xiao Chacha nodded quickly. She didn't mind admiring the pathetic little dog's appearance at all, since she had always had a terrible personality.

"Let's forget about it. The car can only seat two people. This lady will have to squeeze in the back, which is quite uncomfortable. Let's not make things difficult for her."

"How did I bully her? Oh, so you think I'm a bad person now, huh?"

"..."

"You want to die, don't you?"

"I don't care, I don't care, carry me."

"Where's the car?"

"Find someone to drive me back, I don't want to sit anymore, it's uncomfortable." Xiao Chacha jumped onto Lin An's back. Lin An helplessly held onto her legs. After taking a few steps, since Xiao Chacha didn't seem embarrassed, Lin An casually tossed the keys to Chen Shi and asked him to help drive her back. Chen Shi happily nodded in agreement.

Then Lin An really carried Xiao Chacha, the little pig, out step by step.

Qin Yi stood there, silently watching the two figures leave, feeling a mix of emotions. Finally, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, squatted down, lit a cigarette, and started crying by the steps.

"Please, when are you planning to come down?"

Lin An patted Xiao Chacha's little bottom.

"Let's memorize it a little longer."
