Chapter 45: The Bet Between the Two Women (1/2)

After Xu Cheng left the factory, he received a call from the instructor.

“You have to come to work early tonight, come at 7.”

Xu Cheng was curious. “What happened?”

“Tonight, Lin Chuxue will be holding a signing event for her new album at that shopping square in the North Gate area. Even you should know that she’s very popular, so the organizer asked our bureau for some assistance, and we have to go help out with the security in that area.”

“Aren’t there security companies? Why would they suddenly ask us to go too?”

“Lin Chuxue’s different of course, she’s not called the blue-eyed elf princess for nothing. Her fans are crazy, and the officials are afraid that there might be an accident so they dispatched us to go help out. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be our problem anyways.”

Xu Cheng was speechless. Oh well, since his supervisor already said that, he could only go back, take a shower, and go to work early.

Ran Jing and Shen Yao saw him getting into his uniform this early, so they asked curiously as well, “Are you on the day shift now?”

“Lin Chuxue’s holding a signing event in Shangcheng, and the people from the security companies might not be able to maintain control of her crazy fans, so we are being dispatched now to help maintain order.”

Shen Yao could sympathize. “Then you should be prepared.”

Xu Cheng asked curiously, “Is it going to be very tiring?”

Shen Yao nodded. “When you are faced with a bunch of brain-dead fans, you really can’t communicate with them with logic. Oh right, you should get some earplugs, maybe it will be useful for your ears.”

Xu Cheng’s ears were his treasures now. He went to his room, found some earplugs, and carefully placed them into his ears. Then, he was ready to head out.

Seeing his ears plugged up, Shen Yao still didn’t believe that Xu Cheng’s hearing was that powerful, so she tried to test his hearing again by whispering, “Xu Cheng, you gay.”

Then, Shen Yao tentatively looked at Xu Cheng to check for any reactions. After Xu Cheng went out of the door, Shen Yao immediately snorted, “Humph, it’s not so powerful after all. I told you his ears aren’t that capable.”

Just as she finished, Xu Cheng came back and opened the door. “Shen Yao, maybe after I get off work, we can investigate my sexual orientation more thoroughly. Remember~”

Shen Yao immediately choked on her spit and blushed.

Xu Cheng smiled proudly and closed the door and left.

Shen Yao felt like her understanding of the world was about to collapse. “This isn’t going to work, Ran Jing, we have to think of something and move out. His ears are too sensitive, how are we going to talk behind his back anymore?”

Speaking of that, Ran Jing curiously asked Shen Yao, “You have the option of not living here, I’m just puzzled about why you are so adamant about living here, even if that means being under the same roof with a guy. Don’t tell me that you don’t have the money, I won’t believe it even if you beat me to death. I also don’t believe that you like Xu Cheng, and your excuse of being picky about your bed is a bit far-fetched.”

“Why? Do you like him? Are you concerned that my presence is affecting your sweet time alone with him?” Shen Yao shifted over and said with a smug smile.

Ran Jing calmly replied, “Nope. The reason I came to Shangcheng was to focus on my career, and I currently don’t have any plans of dating or finding a boyfriend. Don’t blame me for being suspicious, unless you like Xu Cheng. Otherwise, it’s really hard for me to understand why someone as beautiful and rich as you would insist on staying here. Logically speaking, you could’ve easily found a high-end private unit. Can it be that you also want to study this guy, like me?”

“You think I’m that bored?’ Shen Yao snorted, “Even if he was the only man left on Earth, I wouldn’t waste my time studying a creature like him with a negative EQ.”

“Don’t change the topic. Come on, just tell me what’s the real reason you want to live here?”

“Don’t overthink it,” Shen Yao replied. “I’m not here for either of you. You can go and check at the property management office, I’ve already been here for three years.”

“Already checked,” Ran Jing replied.
