Chapitre 56: Chapter 56. Xiaowan, you just said that I am your boyfriend.
"I knew you wouldn't remember, so I reminded you!" He Ying smiled helplessly.
"Mom, I've remembered. I have something to do. I'll hang up first. I'll call you when I have time!"
After Zhou Chen hurriedly finished the call, he hurried downstairs.
In his previous life, Zhou Chen went to his grandfather's house to celebrate his birthday.
That night, Jiangzhou TV station reported a major news. Jiangzhou's richest man, Guo Yuncong, found a real painting of "Success at a Gallop" painted by Xu Beihong in an antique shop in Jiangxian County for 80,000 yuan. Then he sold it for a sky-high price of 3.86 million yuan.
Zhou Chen stopped a taxi. "Hello, go to Jiangxian County!"
"Jiangxian County?"
The taxi driver frowned and said, "I don't run long distances..."
Zhou Chen pouted and said, "Three hundred yuan!"
The taxi driver hesitated for a moment but still shook his head. "It's not about the money. My wife is in the delivery room of the hospital waiting to give birth. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time."
Zhou Chen had to get off the car.
Just then, another taxi stopped by the roadside.
Zhou Chen strode over.
The car door opened and Tang Wan got out.
"Zhou Chen..." Tang Wan's eyes lit up.
"Is your family gathering over so quickly?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.
"I left the table early. Are you going back to the studio? Let me also take a look at your studio!" Tang Wan put her small hands behind her back and stared at Zhou Chen with clear eyes.
"I want to go back to Jiangxian County!"
"Ah, it's so late. Why are you going back to Jiangxian County?"
"There's something I need to deal with. You should hurry back to school!"
"I'll go back to Jiangxian County with you!"
"This..."
Zhou Chen hesitated.
Tang Wan immediately showed a pitiful little expression.
Zhou Chen was speechless and said, "All right, get in the car!"
When the driver heard that the two were going back to Jiangxian County, he said, "Jiangxian County is so far away. The fare is not low!"
Zhou Chen directly said, "Three hundred yuan. Will you go?"
The driver pondered and said, "Will you come back? If I come back empty, I can't earn much with three hundred yuan!"
Tang Wan said, "Sure we will come back. Six hundred yuan is okay, right?"
The driver grinned and said, "Okay, let's set off now!"
Zhou Chen and Tang Wan sat in the back.
Tang Wan lowered her head, and her heart beat inexplicably accelerated.
Zhou Chen leaned on the back of the chair, with a slight frown on his brow.
That calligraphy and painting cost 80,000 yuan, but he had less than 20,000 yuan on him.
Borrow money from Tang Wan?
"Zhou Chen..."
"Xiaowan..."
The two spoke at the same time, and their eyes were both on each other.
"You speak first..."
"You speak first..."
They spoke at the same time again. Tang Wan's face was flushed, and she said softly, "I just want to ask what are you going to do tomorrow?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'll take you to play in Jiangxian County tomorrow!"
Tang Wan pouted and said, "I have also stayed in Jiangxian County for three years. I have been to all the places that can be played."
Suddenly, Zhou Chen grabbed Tang Wan's little hand. "But you haven't played with me!"
Tang Wan stared blankly at Zhou Chen's big hand holding her own hand. Her face was extremely red, and her heart seemed to jump out of her chest. Thinking that this was in a taxi, she quickly pulled back her hand.
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked out of the car window with a hint of disappointment. Seeing this, Tang Wan felt a dull pain in her heart and immediately grabbed Zhou Chen's hand again.
Now it was Zhou Chen's turn to be surprised. This girl actually took the initiative to hold his hand?
Tang Wan blushed and lowered her head. "You called me just now. What did you want to say?"
Zhou Chen squeezed Tang Wan's soft little hand and grinned. "I want to borrow some money from you!"
Tang Wan's hand was so soft, just like a ball of cotton.
Zhou Chen's heart was stirred. He really wanted to hold her in his arms.
"How much do you want?"
Tang Wan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Chen. Sweat had already begun to form in her palm.
The taxi driver in front coughed dryly twice: "Little girl, you have to be careful. Don't be cheated of both money and sex!"
Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Just drive your car. Why are there so many words? Don't you want the fare anymore?"
The taxi driver said calmly: "Dude, is it proper for a man to borrow money from a woman?"
Zhou Chen's old face flushed a little. If it weren't for being forced to, he wouldn't want to borrow money from Tang Wan either!
Tang Wan puffed up her cheeks and said angrily: "My boyfriend is starting a business. It's normal to be short of money!"
Zhou Chen looked at Tang Wan in surprise.
She actually took the initiative to admit that he was her boyfriend?
The driver curled his lips and didn't continue to refute. They haven't even fully grown up yet, and they're still starting a business. If it weren't for seeing that the little girl is simple, he wouldn't bother to remind her.
Tang Wan was extremely angry: "Zhou Chen, let's get off. We won't take his car anymore!"
Zhou Chen nodded. He took out a stack of brand-new one-hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, then took out one and threw it on the passenger seat: "Stop. This one hundred yuan is your fare. No need to look for change."
The taxi driver was stunned for a moment. Then he forced a smile and said: "Don't be angry, you two. I apologize for what I said just now. I didn't mean any harm. I was just reminding you out of kindness!"
Zhou Chen said indifferently: "Don't comment without knowing the whole picture. Do you understand? You can easily offend people like this!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I won't do it next time!"
The taxi driver smiled along. His attitude was still quite good.
Zhou Chen squeezed Tang Wan's little hand and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be angry either. This big brother is indeed out of good intentions."
Tang Wan nodded with pursed red lips and couldn't help looking at Zhou Chen's hand again.
Zhou Chen leaned close to Tang Wan and asked in a low voice: "Xiaowan, you just said that I am your boyfriend!"
Tang Wan withdrew her hand like an electric shock. She widened her eyes and stammered: "You... you... I... I didn't say that?"
"Maybe I misheard." Zhou Chen pretended to sigh in disappointment.
"Yes, that's right. You did mishear."
Tang Wan nodded with a flushed face.
Just now, she only said that sentence in a moment of desperation.
Girls must be reserved!
Zhou Chen glanced at the shy Tang Wan out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help finding it amusing.
She already regarded herself as her boyfriend, yet she still didn't dare to admit it.
However, one can't rush matters of affection. It should be a gradual process.
Moreover, there are people secretly preventing him from getting close to Tang Wan.
Before resolving these stumbling blocks, he still has to keep some distance from Tang Wan.
At around twelve o'clock, Tang Wan had already fallen asleep.
Zhou Chen carefully placed her head on his shoulder so that she could sleep more comfortably.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when they arrived in Jiangxian County.
The taxi got off the highway and entered a bumpy and potholed road. Tang Wan woke up in a daze and asked lazily, "Have we arrived?" Zhou Chen nodded gently. "It will still take a while to reach the county seat." Tang Wan continued to lean on Zhou Chen's shoulder and sleep. Just as she closed her eyes, she realized that she and Zhou Chen were sitting so close together. Forget it... Anyway, she already regarded him as her boyfriend. Tang Wan held Zhou Chen's arm with both hands and continued to sleep. Zhou Chen glanced down at Tang Wan, and a faint smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth. At 4:30, the taxi stopped outside a hotel. Zhou Chen took Tang Wan and opened two rooms. The taxi driver, on the other hand, huddled in the car and slept. At eight o'clock the next day. Zhou Chen came to the door of Tang Wan's room and knocked. After waiting for a long time, Tang Wan still didn't come to open the door. Zhou Chen frowned and called Tang Wan again. "Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."
