"But he said he was looking for Chen Yuanyuan," Xiao Li scratched her head, "Didn't you tell your boyfriend your new name?"
Chen Shufen suggested, "Why don't we have Yuanyuan go down and sneak a peek?"
"That's a good idea; I'll go down and take a look," I said, steeling myself.
My heart was pounding, unsure who exactly was downstairs.
I reached the lower floor.
Chen Decheng was checking the accounts at the cashier's counter.
In front of the cashier's counter stood a young man in jeans.
The jeans were a bit faded, and his white T-shirt also looked somewhat old; he was also holding a red plastic bag in his hand.
From his profile, he seemed to be a humble boy from a poor family with clean and handsome features.
The young man was chatting with Chen Decheng, seemingly very warmly.
I vaguely recognized the young man's voice, yet I became even more unsure.
This can't be possible, it just can't be him!
Until the young man turned around and glanced my way.
I suddenly felt a cool, slippery sensation across the top of my foot, seeing a black snake slither across and climb into my trouser leg.
"Ahh—" I was terrified and screamed out loud.
"Oh dear, Yuanyuan, you came down, your boyfriend is here to see you," Chen Decheng, hearing my scream, smiled at me.
Helpless, I could only walk over.
"Hello, boss," I greeted Chen Decheng, then turned to the young man, "What... are you doing here?"
"Missed you, girl," Yu Longting curved his lips into a mischievous smile, ruffled the top of my head, his voice both magnetic and incredibly gentle.
Chen Decheng joked from the side, "Yuanyuan, a boyfriend as good as him is really hard to come by these days."
"What's so good about him?" If I weren't afraid of Yu Longting, I really would have wanted to kick him to death.
His snake had crawled into my trousers, the bastard!
Chen Decheng, holding his chin, his face full of envy, "He got into a prestigious university, and he's absolutely devoted to you, isn't that good enough?"
"That really is quite good," I glared at Yu Longting in disguise.
What on earth was he up to?
Deliberately changing into this deceptive outfit.
And he had the nerve to call at the shop where I work and start chatting with the boss!
Chen Decheng took out two talismans, "Exactly, besides, he's especially kind-hearted. These are the talismans your boyfriend gave me, saying they can bless the store with thriving business."
"Yuanyuan's boyfriend can make talismans?"
Chen Shufen came down from upstairs, her wrist adorned with the sachet I'd given her, her face all smiles.
"I used to apprentice at a Taoist temple, learned a bit," Yu Longting humbly said.
And speaking so calmly with ordinary folks. Fresh chapters posted on novel•fire.net
I could hardly recognize him.
"You... you're Yuanyuan's boyfriend?" Chen Shufen was taken aback.
Yu Longting raised an eyebrow at me, "Could it be... she has another boyfriend?"
"No, it's not that, just... Yuanyuan said you were disabled," Chen Shufen eyed Yu Longting up and down.
"He has a prosthetic!" I grasped Yu Longting's wrist and blurted out.
Chen Shufen looked surprised, then gave a sympathetic glance at Yu Longting's trouser leg.
Yu Longting glanced at me, half-smiling, "Yes, I've just finished my rehabilitation and came straight to find my wife."
"Wife...? Young people these days really are... bold," Chen Shufen chuckled hearing this.
I couldn't stand it anymore, grabbing Yu Longting and running upstairs, "Boss, madam, it's been so long since I saw him and I missed him so much, we won't stay long, we're heading upstairs."
