CH 8

He picked out some clothes, took some daily necessities, then opened the door and dragged his suitcase to the porch in front of the Shen family.

Shen’s mother didn’t understand how things got to this point. She was still persuading him, “Xiao Shu, just apologize to your father. You’ve gone too far today. Your father is also thinking for your sake!”

Shen Qing was indifferent and said, “Ha ha.”

He does not lack love, nor does he lack experience within a normal family. He does not need this false family affection.

Shen Qingshu changed his shoes, opened the door, and waved back, “Bye.”

With that, he walked out without hesitation.

In the end, he was not familiar with this place. The original owner didn’t have any good friends. He just had an ex boyfriend or a scum man, so Shen Qingshu didn’t know who to contact. He took a taxi to a hotel and put down his suitcase.

Then lay in bed to make up for his sleep. After waking up, he scrolled through the entertainment forum for a long time, and the day passed.

The next day, Shen Qingshu went downstairs to renew his bank card. After brushing his bank card for a long time, the hotel front desk gently advised him, “Sir, do you have a different card?”

Shen Qingshu took out another card from his wallet, but the other party still said, “Do you have another card?”

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the original owner had used up all his money when he treated Guo Hong. The two bank cards in his wallet were the secondary cards given to him by mother Shen after he came to the Shen house. After he left yesterday, father Shen should have frozen his card.

Nowadays, no one carries cash in their wallet. Shen Qingshu looked at what he saw in his wallet and the balance of Alipay. There was some money, but it was just enough for one night in the hotel.

He thought for a moment and said, “Forget it, don’t renew the room.”

Shen Qingshu returned to his room, packed his bags, then pulled his suitcase out of the door and went to KFC.

KFC is a good place. As long as you buy some food, you can sit here for half a day.

Shen Qing chose a set meal and thought about what he should do while eating.

It’s impossible to go home. Normal people can’t live with green tea and exotic flowers1. He’s not a plant researcher.

But he can’t stay in the hotellong term. Even if he goes to a hostel with multiple people per room, his balance of less than 1000 can’t last for a few days.

Shen Qing rummaged through the original owner’s wechat to see if anyone could help him temporarily.

He turned and saw the wechat name and avatar of Han Cheng.

The wechat name of Hancheng is very simple, which is [Cheng]. The avatar is a picture of the city wall one night.

Yes, how could I forget him!

Shen Qing’s eyes brightened. When it comes to money, none of  the people the original owner knew are as rich as Han Cheng, the second son of Han group.

In terms of relationship, the original owner and his roommates are passing acquaintances . They didn’t have a good relationship at school. Now that they’ve graduated, who cares about you.

But Hancheng is different. He and Hancheng still have a good relationship between driver and car. No matter how bad, Hancheng should be willing to come out for a high-speed ride with him tonight to experience the pleasure of speed and passion!

Shen Qingshu thought so and sent a message to Han Cheng.

Shen Qingshu: [Didi2, do you accept the order?]

After he sent it, he waited confidently for Han Cheng’s reply.

After all, judging from the previous two trips, Hancheng is still very satisfied with him.

However, to Shen Qingshu’s surprise, he was almost finished with coke, but Han Cheng had yet to reply to him.

Shen Qingshu wondered: [Resting today, not taking orders?]

Han Cheng still didn’t reply.

Shen Qingshu became more and more puzzled and simply called him.

Han Cheng was drinking with his friends. The music was too loud and his mobile phone rang for a long time before noticed. When he looked down, the caller ID clearly showed: little luxury sports car.

Han Cheng wondered, why did his little sports car take the initiative to call him?

Was he conquered by his technique, after eating and knowing the taste. He’s unable to tolerate the loneliness after not going on the highway for a day?

This is too… Normal!

After all, his golden roc is so powerful and his driving skills are so exquisite!

Shen Qingshu, a new car that has just touched the road, how can he not be fully attracted to him?!

Han Cheng was so proud that he immediately picked up and walked to a secluded place.

Shen Qingshu heard the deafening music on his end and asked him, “Are you in a bar?”

“En, with friends.” Han Cheng went on and asked, “Why did you call me all of a sudden?”

“The garage collapsed, so I want to ask if you are willing to pick up the car today?”

Huh?

Han Cheng wondered, “What does ‘garage collapsed’ mean?”

“I thought their temple was too small to hold my limousine, so I ran away at night.”

Han Cheng understood, “Did you run away from home?”

When he said this, he couldn’t help laughing. “You’re 22, not 12, and you’re running away from home? Such a second grade syndrome.”

Shen Qingshu was dissatisfied. “How can you say it like that? It’s clear that their temple can’t hold my big Buddha. Just say whether you’re willing to or not?”

In fact, Han Cheng didn’t plan to drive with him tonight. It’s rare for their group of friends to get together. He specially arranged his schedule for today, that is, he planned to have a good time with his friends. He’s not in a hurry to drive, he can do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

However, what Shen Qingshu said made Han Cheng curious. What would he do if he didn’t pick up the little sports car who ran away from home?

“What will you do if I don’t come to pick you up?”

“Not much can be done.” Shen Qingshu had thought for a long time, “If you don’t want to pick up the car, you should be willing to lend me some money. You don’t want to see the car body full of wind and rain marks next time you see your car, from a luxury car to a weather beaten pitiful car?”

“I’ll pay you back. Don’t worry. Can I write you an IOU? Please ~” Shen Qing prayed quietly.

When Han Cheng heard the speech, he thought he was brave. He didn’t bring any money and dared to run away from home.

“You’d better go home. No matter how small the temple is, it’s enough for you.”

“Then you’d better wait for us to meet next time. My face will be covered with dust and temples become white3. You suddenly return home at night to see me in front of the dressing table mirror. The luxury car will ignore you and only give you a face full of car exhaust.”

Han Cheng laughing helplessly, “So unwilling to go home?”

“Otherwise?” Shen Qing saw that he wasn’t willing and didn’t force him. “If you don’t want to, I won’t bother you. I’ll hang up first.”

When he finished, he was ready to hang up. Once Han Cheng heard the words he hurriedly said, “Where are you? Send me a location. I’ll be there in a minute.”

Shen Qingshu was surprised, “I thought you weren’t willing?”

“I’m afraid if I don’t go, in the future, you won’t be my car, but someone else’s car.”

Shen Qing chuckled, “That’s not true. I don’t just allow anyone to be my driver, but it’s best if you can come.”

He said, reported his address, and asked rather pleasantly, “Do you want something to eat? I’ll order it for you.”

“Just take care of yourself. I won’t eat. You eat more.”

Han Cheng said that, hung up the phone and decided to pick up the car.

He went back to his seat, took his coat and said to his friend, “I have something to do. I’ll go first, lets get together another day.”

“What’s the matter?” The friend was curious. “Didn’t we agree that everyone will push other matters at hand today?”

“An incident, there’s something wrong with the 4S store. I have to pick up the car in advance.”

“Must it be today?”

“Yes.” Han Cheng sighed, “Otherwise he will have nothing to rely on and fall into the mud.”

“Can’t you get someone else to go? You have to go by yourself?”

“Alas, new cars always need more attention.”

“What car?”

“Sports car.” Han Cheng looked at him. “It’s worth a lot.”

“Then drive out for us to look soon.”

“Well…” Han Cheng thought, “Maybe not for the time being. I have to run it in.”

“Hey, what’s with this? No, you drive it out and I’ll help you run it in.”

“I’m afraid he won’t like you.”

“He’s a car, not a person. How can a car get to choose? Don’t be so reluctant.”

Han Cheng thought, mentioning it, he was really a little reluctant.

After all, his first car fits him so well. It’s a rare good car that can go high-speed and after going high speed, he’s sweet and good tempered.

“Anyway I won’t be lending it out.”

The friend glanced at him with narrowed eyes, “It’s really a treasure . Go, go, take a good look at your car.”

“I’m leaving. Take your time.”

He drank wine after all, so he didn’t drive. He called a substitute driver to pick up his luxury sports car.

Shen Qingshu finished his dinner and looked up. It was almost dark.

It was like this in autumn, it got dark earlier. Shen Qingshu ate a sundae as he waited for his driver.

He didn’t wait long, Han Cheng soon appeared.

Shen Qingshu hurriedly pulled the suitcase to him. “You’re pretty fast.”

Han Cheng pinched his mouth, leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Don’t say too fast in front of your driver.”

Shen Qingshu asked for a favour so he went easy on him. Moving away his hand he said, “I know. Let’s go, driver.”

Han Cheng turned around and went out of KFC with him.

He helped Shen Qingshu put the suitcase in the trunk, then sat in the back with him and instructed the driver, “Drive.”

Shen Qingshu saw an unfamiliar person in the car and asked him, “Have you been drinking?”

“Well, you called just after a drink.”

Shen Qingshu was a little embarrassed. “Thank you for this.”

“You’re welcome.”

He said and asked Shen Qingshu, “What’s happened to you?”

Shen Qingshu didn’t want to tell him about his family affairs in front of outsiders, so he said, “Wait until we get to the hotel.”

“We’re not going to a hotel,” Hancheng said.

“Not going to a hotel?” Shen Qingshu wondered, “Then where to?”

Han Cheng smiled at him and deliberately said, “Go and sell you. You’re so valuable. You can sell a lot as a second-hand car.”

Shen Qingshu reached out and pinched him.

Han Cheng didn’t avoid this pinch, “Hiss”.

Shen Qingshu chuckled, “Then I’ll let both person and car crash together.”

Han Cheng reluctantly retracted his hand, “I’m not willing to sell you. How expensive you are. I’m taking you home.”

The author has something to say:

Qingqing: change the garage~

Hancheng: new car warehousing~

Oz: start my favorite cohabitation life~

1Exotic flowers were previously translated as foolish people because that’s what it means, It’s internet slang. But if it comes up often in the future maybe i’ll leave it as is.

2Like a taxi service

3 Another poem, the author is Jiang Chengzi, named Yimao First Moon Twentieth Night Dream 江城子, 乙卯正月二十日夜记梦. The meaning is that meeting and not knowing each other is more unbearable than not being able to meet. 

TN: Phew the poem in this chapter was a little harder to decipher the meaning of.
