Chapter 4: Shen Shaoqian and Suyang (2/2)
The man from the washroom came out as well. As he walked over, he was trying to forcefully remove his rubber glove.
It took him a lot of effort before he managed to pull one off, and he reached out to shake my hand, “Hi. My name is Shen Shaoqian. We scared you today, didn’t we?”
I stared at his hand as I hesitantly decided whether I should shake it or not. He had just came out of the washroom with rubber gloves on. Who knows where his hands had reached?
But he was sending me a bright smile, so I couldn’t bear to reject. I summoned up the courage and touched his hand, “I’m not good.”
“All the furniture have been damaged by the water. So we called the moving company to help us remove it. There was so much noise and commotion, yet you still managed to sleep through it. I’m impressed! I was wondering if you were sleeping or fainted from fright.” Shen Shaoqian stated very cheerfully.
His cheerfulness seemed a bit abnormal to me. Why didn’t they fix the water pipe if it was damaged? Their furniture were damaged and they act like it didn’t matter? They had nothing left in the apartment yet he was still cheerful?
My mind was filled with questions I wanted to ask. But right now, the most important one was -
“You two are honestly the two men from before?”
“Of course! Replacement guaranteed if fake! Did we turn too handsome that you cannot recognize? As I mentioned previously, my name is Shen Shaoqian. The guy over there with the poker face is Suyang. He is the owner of this apartment.” Then, Shen Shaoqian patted Suyang’s back with the hand that still had the rubber glove on. Instantaneously, Suyang’s poker face became the disgusted face.
“You just reached your hands down the sewers. Don’t touch me!” Suyang sternly warned Shen Shaoqian.
“I was wearing gloves, you punk! How dare you give me such a disgusted expression? You’re the one that pledge your life you wouldn’t do this type of work, so I had no choice but to help you. I worked so hard and you don’t even know how to be grateful. You’re just standing there like it’s none of your business. Have you no shame?”
“Hey, I’m giving you an opportunity to workout. As a good friend, I want you to maintain a healthy physique at all times.” When Suyang spoke, I didn’t feel any emotions. He wasn’t convincing at all.
“Excuse me! Who is the more healthier person out of us two? I workout everyday! Whereas, you just stay home all day…”
The two wouldn’t stop bickering while I was silently observing. Honestly, what happened while I was asleep? How could those two gruffy uncles transformed into these two attractive young men?
“Are you done staring?” Perhaps my stare was too intense, Suyang gave up his tongue battle with Shen Shaoqian and cast a glance at me.
“No…” I subconsciously replied. When I snapped out of it, Shen Shaoqian and Suyang were giving me the “WHAT” expression.
It was so awkward, I didn’t know where to look. In order to dissolve the bizarre atmosphere, I lightly coughed twice, *cough cough*....oh yeah, the water from your apartment has damaged my ceiling. It is now dripping water.”
I was finally back on track.
“So what’s next?” Suyang asked.
I blinked. What kind of human being is this Suyang person? How could he still remain so calm and confident when he had caused damage to his downstairs neighbour? He looked like he didn’t give a damn.
At least, give me a line of apology? ….. Ugh. Whatever. It wasn’t like I came here to hear an apology. I want to solve the issue!
Of course, with money!
I suppressed my explosive emotions and calmly stated, “And then, I came over to find you guys. Who would have thought you two would be playing some f**ked up roleplay? And forcefully included me as well! I actually thought it was real. I even reminisced all my experiences and sorrows from my 25 years… all….”
“Didn’t you say you had nothing in these 25 years? Why were you going through your memories then?” Suyang gave me a look of disdain and cut me off.
“You!”
I wanted to storm and punch Suyang’s handsome face twice, but Shen Shaoqian held me back. “Calm down! Calm down! He’s like that. He has a repulsive mouth. Don’t lower yourself to his level!”
