85 Let’s Make a Be (1/2)
”Who's the wicked person who stole my clothes?” Chen Fan held onto the plastic bag, feeling helpless. Just the ID card and visa were enough to make Chen Fan vomit blood, not to mention the satellite phone and the over 100,000 Myanmar currency.
With the help of the dim streetlight a distance away, Chen Fan observed the surrounding footprints carefully. Other than his own footprints, there was a pair that was obviously a few sizes smaller.
”Between size 30 to 32...should be a child.” Chen Fan came up with these numbers after measuring against his own footprints. However, Chen Fan soon fell into despair again. The footprints only extended to the road and there were no signs of them after that.
”Heaven, you're playing on me!” Chen Fan cried out, squatting by the side of the road.
After struggling with his thoughts for a while, Chen Fan had no choice but to give up. He gritted his teeth and braced himself before walking toward the residence of the white-robed man. Chen Fan who only had his swimming trunks on brought a certain level of visual impact to the young Burmese ladies. His face, which was considered ordinary in Zhongyun, was not only more fair than the locals, but was seen as very handsome in Myanmar where men generally looked unattractive. It was definitely enough to turn the heads of the opposite sex.
”Phew, this is a foreign country, nobody knows me. This is a foreign country, nobody knows me.” Chen Fan braced himself against the gaze of those young ladies in colorful skirts. He kept reminding himself to be more thick-skinned.
”Hey, little devil, why are you running about in your swimming trunks?” Just as Chen Fan was holding the plastic with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, he suddenly heard a crisp voice like that of a little lark. Turn into stone, completely turn into stone. So much for Medusa turning one into stone!
The voice belonged to none other than the ”rose” he encountered at the white-robed man's house this afternoon.
”Well…” Chen Fan took five seconds to get himself out of the stonified state.
”Little devil, how can you dress so casually when you're out? And what's with the plastic bag you're holding?” The ”rose” who was wearing a pair of sunglasses pointed at Chen Fan's chest with her fair, slender hand.
”Can you stop calling me little devil? I don't think you are much older than me.” Chen Fan carried the plastic bag behind him and said in a righteous tone. Chen Fan had specially wrapped a few thick plastic bags around the items previously. With the help of nighttime, Chen Fan was certain that she couldn't see what was inside.
”Hmm, you've got quite a temper, little devil. Just a few remarks and you're unhappy?” Under the dim lighting, the ”rose” dressed in a cream-colored dress with the black dagger hanging on her neck looked like a night elf in a fantasy world, giving off an air of ”deadly seduction”.
”No,” Chen Fan covered the middle of his chest with both hands. ”I'm just curious. The sky is so dark and you're wearing a pair of dark sunglasses, yet you could recognize me?”
”Burmese men are not as daring as you, and few are as fair as you, so I couldn't help but glance a few more times.” The ”rose” suppressed her laughter. ”You know what it is to be shy? Then why did you come out in swimming trunks?”
”The weather's too hot. I took a bath in the sea after dinner, but my clothes got stolen. So I had no choice but to turn back.”
”Then why are you holding a 'Times Supermarket' shopping bag? As far as I know, the Times Supermarket company is not powerful enough to open an outlet in Myanmar.” The ”rose” gave a faint smile. ”Did you swim into the sea to salvage it? There's actually a gun hidden inside and are you thinking of assassinating Mr Wu?”
”With your associative ability, it'll be a waste of your talent if you're not an author for mystery novels.” Although Chen Fan's heart was thumping fast, he still sounded conceited. ”Don't you think it's very dangerous for a woman like you to be walking around outside? Especially in Myanmar, especially in Myanmar at night. I think you should go back quickly and not stand here talking nonsense with me.”
”Hahaha...hahaha…” The ”rose” covered her mouth and laughed nonstop. It was only after Chen Fan started having chills and wanted to run away that she stopped.
Don't tell me she's a lunatic? Chen Fan started making wild guesses.
”Am I a tiger? You want so much to chase me away?” The ”rose” was a little puzzled. ”Weren't you spaced out when you saw me this afternoon? Why do you look like you're hiding from me now?”
”Alright, you stay. I'll leave!” After turning his back and taking a few steps, Chen Fan stopped. This was because the ”rose” said something which he couldn't pretend not to hear. ”Do you wanna get your things back?”
”Although I admit that your associative ability is very 'logical', I do not believe that you can find my things!”
