Chapter Fifty-two How Did You Find Me?
Chen Chufan has never been a fool. He wasn't in the past, and he certainly isn't now. So he refused Wang's persuasion and walked out of the coffee shop.
This scene of job hunting in the coffee shop made Chen Chufan clearly realize that music is something that can only be sold to people who understand it, and people like Wang Laoban would never offer him a high salary.
That Liu aunt was undoubtedly a music lover, she hinted that she should not accept the invitation of Wang boss, and even took the initiative to send her business card when she left. This move indicates that there is a great opportunity to get a part-time job with much better treatment than in Huabu Coffee. So Chen Chufan's mood at this time was still good, or he just needed to pick up the phone at an appropriate time and call back to get a part-time job to supplement his poor wallet.
Chen Chufan pulled out the business card from his pocket, which was made very delicately, with gold edges on all four corners. However, there were only a few words on it: below the name of Liu Xiaoting, General Manager of Qing Shui Bay Club, was a mobile phone number, and that was all. It was completely at the opposite extreme from the small cards handed out on the street.
He memorized the eleven-digit phone number and put the business card back in his pocket before heading straight back to his dorm.
He pushed open the dormitory door, and was met with the strange gaze of the entire dormitory. Yang Tao's eyes in particular shone brightly as he looked at Chen Chufan, filled with a mix of envy, jealousy, and lust.
"What's going on here?" Chen Chufan asked suspiciously.
"Lao San, I really didn't realize you were this kind of person before!" Yang Tao's pained tone clashed severely with his lewd expression, giving Chen Chufan an extremely strange feeling.
Chen Chufan was confused by Yang Tao's words: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me?"
"Old Three, you've got two dishes on your table already, and you're still staring at the pot. Are you going to let others live or not? You should be more generous! " Eldest brother Meng Wei surprisingly spoke up, and what's more surprising is that he said such a long sentence, which made Chen Chufan admire Yang Tao, it seems that his transformation of the eldest brother was indeed very successful.
"What's wrong with you guys today? Stop being so mysterious!" Chen Chufan said, laughing and crying at the same time. Thinking carefully, it seemed like he really hadn't done anything that was against heaven or reason.
"Come clean, you've been deceiving your family and Ye Siying and Han Xiaoxi, what kind of outrageous things have you done to other girls! Today others broke through Zhang Shu's defense downstairs and found their way to the dorm!" Yang Tao said with a righteous face.
"I didn't! I really didn't!" Chen Chufan suddenly thought of last night's encounter, which shouldn't be called a strange encounter. But it was so dark at the time, and the two girls couldn't have seen his appearance, even if they had seen him, they wouldn't have been able to find him so quickly.
"Ha, the truth is out! Today a little girl came to our dormitory to return something to you. We said you weren't there, so someone left their phone number and asked you to call back!" Yang Tao finally revealed the mystery.
Chen Chufan was really confused: "What thing? I didn't lend anything to any little girl!"
"How did I know what stuff, I let her hand it over to me, I handed it over to you, she said no need, only left a phone number, you see for yourself!" After finishing speaking, Yang Tao took out a piece of paper and threw it at Chen Chufan.
Chen Chufan took a look at it and saw that there was only Chen Xi's name and a string of phone numbers from the school.
"Chen Xi? Don't know him!" Chen Chufan said in puzzlement.
"Alright, stop pretending, hurry up and call someone else. Do you want me to leave with Lao Da first?" Yang Tao said with a strong sour tone.
"Get out! Avoid your sister!" Chen Chufan finally couldn't bear it and blurted out a curse, then went to the phone and dialed the number on the note. Yang Tao also hurried over, with an innocent and upright eavesdropping posture.
"Hello, I'm looking for Chen Xi!" Chen Chufan said bluntly over the phone.
"Ah, it's me. And who are you?" A somewhat familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone, crisp and cold.
Chen Chufan didn't make a sound, but his extraordinary memory allowed him to recognize the voice immediately. It was the same girl who had been held hostage by thugs last night. How did she find her way here? Chen Chufan was puzzled.
"Hey! Are you Chen Chufan?" The voice continued to come, interrupting his thoughts. The girl was very clever and directly guessed his identity.
"Uh-huh!" Chen Chufan replied stiffly. He really didn't want to get entangled with those two girls, especially the one named Chen Xi. Yesterday, under the moonlight, he had inadvertently seen her chest clearly, which made him feel even more unable to face her.
Once Chen Chufan's identity was confirmed, the girl's voice became shy and completely lost its calmness from earlier.
"Your library card fell out last night, and I picked it up. When are you free? I'll return it to you." The girl's words finally lifted the puzzle from Chen Chufan's mind. He subconsciously patted his pants pocket, and indeed, his library card was no longer there.
"Oh, I see. Thank you, I'm in my dorm room right now. Why don't you bring it over for me?" Chen Chufan didn't stand on ceremony. It wasn't that he was impolite, but he really didn't want to go all the way to the girls' dorm to get this library card. What if he ran into Han Xiaoxi or the other girls from her dorm and they misunderstood him waiting for another girl? That wouldn't be good."
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the dorm. I'll be right there. It'll take about 5 minutes." The girl didn't think much and immediately agreed.
"You don't have to come up, I'll wait for you downstairs." Chen Chufan said hastily.
"Uh-huh! See you later!" The girl hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.
"What's going on here?" Yang Tao asked with some disappointment. From the phone, it didn't seem like there was anything abnormal about their relationship, but this matter still seemed suspicious. It's not normal that the little girl picked up your library card and actively returned it to you multiple times.
"Didn't you all hear that? She picked up my library card and was about to return it to me!" Chen Chufan said irritably.
"No way, I'm going down with you to get the library card. I'll represent Ye Siyi and Han Xiaoxi to supervise you!" Yang Tao said firmly, ignoring Chen Chufan's tone.
"Go ahead, if you want to follow me then follow. I don't have anything to hide!" Chen Chufan was completely annoyed by Yang Tao.
"What's the point of talking about it anymore? Hurry up and go downstairs!" Yang Tao urged.
"She said it would take five minutes! How long has it been now?" Chen Chufan said with a sullen face, seemingly every time something involved girls, Yang Tao was particularly enthusiastic. Chen Chufan had already calculated in his heart whether he should report Yang Tao's abnormal behavior to Li Can.
"I told you last time, when dating a girl, you must arrive early!"
"But this isn't a date!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"
Chen Chufan was pulled by Yang Tao to stand under the shade of the dormitory building, and he only felt inexplicably annoyed.
It's not that he's being pretentious, it's just that he doesn't know how much of the fight with the thug last night this girl saw, and she won't understand his secret, right? This is a private matter that even Han Xiaohei didn't dare to reveal half of! Just because one can suddenly realize "letting go" doesn't mean others can too. And it seems that he himself doesn't have such profound moral integrity to influence others' views.
Just as Chen Chufan was indulging in wild fancies, Yang Tao beside him became excited first.
"Here she comes, that beautiful girl in the white blouse is also a rare find! She must be a freshman, otherwise I wouldn't have not recognized her!" Yang Tao pulled Chen Chufan's hand and pointed to a girl walking towards them. A simple outfit of a white blouse with blue jeans, yet still exuding an elegant aura. Last night, because the girl's face was obscured by the shadow of leaves, Chen Chufan didn't get a clear look at her. Today, after seeing her clearly, Chen Chufan understood why that thug had ignored the other girl and targeted her instead. It has to be said that the thug had good taste.
This is a woman who conforms to the aesthetic views of most men, with fair skin and delicate features, especially the girl seems to have a kind of elegant temperament, like a lotus flower blooming in the mud, beautiful and elegant. Some are like
Chen Chufan couldn't help but feel a little flustered as he thought about the glimpse of white he had seen on the girl's chest yesterday.
"Excuse me, are you Chen Chufan, Big Brother Chen?" Just as Chen Chufan was lost in thought, Chen Xue walked up to the two of them and asked with a hint of shyness, unsure if she had thought of something similar.
She certainly couldn't recognize Chen Chufan either, the dimness last night was relative, and the girl didn't get a clear look at Chen Chufan's face. However, the girl had just seen Yang Tao in the morning, and now seeing Yang Tao by this big boy's side, how could she not recognize him?
"Yes, it's me!" Chen Chufan hastily replied.
"Here's your library card, yesterday..." The girl hadn't finished speaking when Chen Chufan interrupted her: "Yesterday when I was on a date with my girlfriend, it might have been dropped on the playground. Thank you so much, Chen Xi!"
The clever girl couldn't help but understand that Chen Chufan's eagerness to speak was actually a ploy to prevent her from revealing the truth about last night in front of his classmates. She thought that finding this tall boy was just to save face, not wanting others to know what had happened to her yesterday, so she cut off her own words. Her heart couldn't help but feel grateful again. After all, no girl would want others to know about such things.
Actually, she thought too much. Chen Chufan was just afraid of trouble. He knew that if Yang Tao found out about the whole thing, it wouldn't take long for everyone to know. He didn't want to cause a stir and didn't want Ye Siying and Han Xiaoxi to misunderstand anything, so he just wanted to quickly clear himself up. That's why he was in such a hurry to wash his hands of the matter. He even deliberately mentioned his girlfriend in their conversation to dispel Yang Tao's suspicions.
In short, Chen Chufan wanted this matter to have no further impact on himself and not to cause any more trouble.
