Chapter Eighteen

  The next day, Jiang Chuan kept his word and got on the bus with a cage of hamsters - Fang Yu, who had been waiting in the car early, stared at the hamster through the cage for a while and said, "Try mirror, do you think this is a spring outing? What's the point of bringing a hamster?"

  Lao Guan is pitiful at home, come out and have a stroll.

  Jiang Chuan opened the cage door and took out the hamster, then placed it flat on his palm to smooth its fur - it was so comfortable that it closed its eyes and lay still in Jiang Chuan's palm... The sight of its shameless dead expression made Fang Yu feel a strong sense of visual impact, he wiped his face and muttered "Can I still serve a normal person?", then turned his face towards the window.

  During this time, he softened several times and turned his face back to talk to Jiang Chuan. However, upon discovering that the other was calmly and intently playing with a hamster, he helplessly turned his head back again.

  ……

  When the car arrived at Jian Ran's company, there were already many people standing outside, it was like a concert of a superstar... Every time a car came, no matter who was inside, they would raise their cameras - in addition to reporters, there were also many fans holding support signs with prayers and blessings for Jian Ran. Seeing the reporters raising their cameras, they first subconsciously stretched their necks to see who was in the car, but after quickly reacting, they clashed with the reporters in front of them...

  "Stop taking pictures! What's there to take pictures of?"

  "I know you, a reporter from G City Evening News. Weren't you happy enough taking pictures in Jianran's hospital room yesterday? Do you have any morals?"

  "Have some sympathy, please!"

  "Have you guys seen today's G City Entertainment Morning Post? This guy is the one who took pictures in Jianran's hospital room - I'm telling you, bro, he's also become popular, if it weren't for the law against killing people, I'd have him killed right now - "

  It wasn't clear which fan had started the conflict with the reporter, but when the crowd in front of the company building became chaotic, Fang Yu withdrew his gaze from the car window and glanced at Jiang Chuan beside him, saying, "See, I told you it would be useful..."

  When Fang Yu was speaking, the reporter from G City Evening News had already been pressed to the ground by a male fan, who swung his fist and knocked off the reporter's glasses. The female reporters and fans around him let out shrill screams one after another, making the scene very lively. Fang Yu sneered and said, "Serves you right."

  Jiang Chuan didn't say a word, took a glance at the chaotic scene outside, bent down and picked up the hamster that was clinging to his middle finger in the palm of his hand, stuffed it back into its cage - at this moment, the car stopped in front of the company's gate, and the security guard inside wasn't idle either, originally sitting aside watching the commotion, now seeing someone from their own side had arrived, hurriedly ran out to clear a path.

  Fang Yu got off the car first, and in the crowd of reporters, there was a sharp-eyed one who saw him and immediately raised his camera. However, before he could press the shutter, the camera was knocked out of his hand by a female fan - Crouching in the cage, Jian Yan saw clearly that it was the girl who had given him chocolate matcha cookies that day. He still remembered how he had helped her up from the ground without using much force, but at this moment, the slender girl's body seemed to have exploded like a small universe, and with a "pa" sound, she knocked over the equipment of the reporter who was a head taller than her!

  The reporter was stunned on the spot.

  He was then quickly surrounded and beaten by increasingly agitated fans.

  He nervously picked up a melon seed, and at the same time, he heard Fang Yu say to Jiang Chuan: "This time is also a lesson for those entertainment reporters. They have been arrogant for too long, with an attitude of 'a dead pig not afraid of boiling water'. It's good to give them a lesson. This morning when I got up, the official blog and Weibo of G City Evening News had already closed comments. No way, this morning's newspaper was issued, they were scolded so much that they couldn't delete comments quickly enough."

  Jiang Chuan nodded slightly, didn't say a word, and seemed to be not paying attention to this. Instead, before getting off the bus, he appeared to have sensed something and lifted his head to glance in the direction of oncoming traffic.

  He found it a bit strange that he was looking at something, and also turned his head back. As a result, he saw through the crowd of fans and entertainment reporters who were in an uproar, and far away, he saw an Audi city off-road vehicle coming over, with a very serious license plate number.

  Fang Yu was trying hard to recall whose car that license plate number belonged to, when suddenly he heard a faint "clink" sound. He looked down and saw that the hamster in the cage held by Jiang Chuan had gone crazy, flipping over its food bowl and staring with its beady little eyes as it lifted the empty food bowl and flung it at the edge of the cage. The food bowl bounced back and landed squarely on the hamster's head...

  The hamster under the food bowl was silent for three seconds.

  Then stretched out its claws and flipped it open with one swipe.

  Fang Yu twitched his lips: "Jiang Chuan, is your brother Ah Fei crazy?"

  The Audi car stopped, and the fans and reporters who were tangled together suddenly shifted their attention, as if they had been waiting for this moment. The heavily decorated car door opened, and a middle-aged woman with ordinary looks jumped out from the back seat first, looking like she should be some kind of agent or manager. She stretched out her hand to open the car door wider, and then a young man with long black hair got out of the car.

  Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted "Jianran".

  That sound even covered up the "thud" of the hamster in Jiang Chuan's cage banging its head against the wall in anger.

  Jiang Chuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  The reflection in those azure eyes, the person who got off the car had familiar black short hair, he was wearing a hat that was pressed very low, and his face was also covered with big sunglasses and a mask. From just the little bit of facial features and fair skin that were exposed, it seemed like he looked pretty good.

  Most importantly, he resembles Yuan Zhenyan in terms of figure, height and aura.

  So someone just started and didn't see clearly, and took him for Yuan Jinyan. But the person, upon hearing someone call him that, not only didn't avoid it, but instead stopped in his tracks as he was about to walk into the company, turned around, removed his sunglasses and mask - revealing a clear and handsome face underneath, which was obviously not Yuan Jinyan.

  There were disappointed sighs from fans in the crowd.

  However, in the face of enthusiastic fans' somewhat impolite reaction and the flashing camera lights that were almost blinding him, he didn't show any signs of being upset or offended. Instead, he smiled slightly shyly and said calmly: "I'm Xu Wenjie, sorry to disappoint everyone... Yan Ge is still in the hospital right now, I just visited him, the doctor says his condition is stabilizing, it's only a matter of time before he wakes up. Please don't worry, let's wait together for Yan Ge to wake up."

  Xu Wenjie's words fell, and the hamster in Jiang Chuan's hand-held cage raised its food bowl for the second time to hit the cage.

  Looking at Xu Wenjie, who was bathed in the flash of reporters' cameras and being escorted by staff into the building, Fang Yu also felt very complicated for a while. No matter how he looked at it, he thought this guy was so pretentious... He stared at him for a while, his mind filled with all sorts of dirty words, before suddenly remembering that he too had work to return to the company with. He patted his forehead and turned around to look at the tall man who was still sitting in the car, maintaining a pose with one long leg just stepping out of the door. He found that this guy was also staring expressionlessly at Xu Wenjie's back, his eyes flickering with a thoughtful expression.

  Fang Yu let out a sigh in his heart.

  "Doesn't he look just like Jian Ran?" Fang Yu said, "From the back, they're practically identical, right? ... This guy's name is Xu Wenjie, and he used to be Jian Ran's stand-in. Later, Jian Ran didn't like him, so he fired him. He then relied on this one resemblance to sign with our company..."

  In Fang Yu's words, the hamster in the cage was very tired and stuck to the wall of the cage, powerless to slide down.

  Fang Yu muttered to himself: "I thought this guy would hate Jian Ran to death? Didn't expect him to go to the hospital early in the morning..."

  "I didn't go."

  Next to him, a low and resolute voice suddenly came, Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that his ears had gone bad, turned his head to take a closer look, only to find Jiang Chuan staring at him with a straight face, the man raised his hand, pointed to a certain place on the back of his neck, and said lightly: "Hickey, fresh."

  Fang Yu: "......huh?"

  Jiang Chuan: "He's lying."

  Fang Yu stared at Jiang Chuan for a few seconds before asking dazedly: "...Great God, your eyesight is 6.0?"

  Jiang Chuan didn't respond, slightly furrowing his brow. He picked up the hamster cage beside him and got out of the car, only then slowly saying, "He doesn't resemble Yuan Jinran."

  "Huh?"

  Jiang Chuan: "Even their silhouettes are different, Yuan Jiren's butt is much perkier than his..."

  Fang Yu: "......"

  Jian Ran: "......"

  Jiang Chuan's face was stern: "I accidentally touched it earlier."

  "No... no... it's not," Fang Yu said weakly, "You think they don't look like you were just staring at them or something..."

  "Look at that mark," Jiang Chuan glanced at Fang Yu inexplicably, "It's only visible upon closer inspection, it was just put on this morning, no more than half an hour ago, should be directly from bed to the company, looking at the mark and depth it should be a man——"

  "Stop stop stop - don't be so detailed."

  He hastily stopped and expressed his complete disinterest in Xu Wenjie's romantic history, weakly wiping his face. He thought to himself that this great god should not have become a star, who knows, he might still be able to change careers and shine as Sherlock Holmes in the detective world. His eyes were rolling around, organizing his words, but before he could speak, he lowered his head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the hamster cage being held by Jiang Chuan...

  "Kang Chuan."

  "What's the point."

  "Your dog is eating from a bowl that has been knocked over."

  "Huh?"

  "...on the one hand, putting things away with a look of satisfaction that's enough to make one's soul depart? This rat, has it gone mad?"

  “？”
