Chapter 364: Mountain Lake Worm

Qinhuai City, the capital of Jiangsu Province.

"Baby, how do you feel?" Chen Xi took Sazhi's little hand and got off the train.

"It's a bit like our Shinkansen." Saori looked at the train in front of her curiously.

"Ha, you said that when we were going from Modu to Xinlu. This bus takes a different route and is faster... Um... Do you remember what I told you before we came?"

"Yes, I remember."

Seeing Chen Xi asking again, Saori nodded seriously.

Chen Xi asked her to speak less outside, especially not to speak her native language.

It is now 09, and people in Qinhuai are still quite sensitive to these things.

"The people here speak similarly to you." Saori asked while listening to the dialect around her.

"They're all Jianghuai Mandarin." Chen Xi pulled her into a taxi.

In fact, he doesn't usually speak dialect. His grandmother and mother are from Wulin, and his grandfather is from Qinhuai, so he has been speaking Mandarin since he was a child, but he can speak these two dialects.

"Aunt likes the gift I gave her very much." Saori sat in the car and talked about the gift she gave to Chen Caiyue yesterday.

"Haha, this means she likes you." Chen Xi touched her little face.

In fact, Chen Caiyue will be happy no matter what you give her.

"Young man, you are from other places, right? Don't you want to visit our Confucius Temple? I think nine out of ten tourists from other places will go there." The driver asked.

"No, the food there is not tasty..." Chen Xi answered casually.

Places like Confucius Temple can only trick outsiders who know nothing into going there to eat.

"Ha, it seems you know a lot. We locals don't go there. I don't understand who advertised that there are delicious foods there. I can't stop them every time. I told them not to eat there, but they thought I was a shill, trying to trick them into spending money at a certain restaurant... Why did you go to Wenwu Road? Is there delicious food there?"

"Visiting relatives..." Chen Xi replied randomly.

"Judging from your accent, you probably come from around here."

"Yes, my family used to be from Qinhuai, but later they fled to another place."

"There used to be a lot of people here, but when the Japanese attacked, many of them ran away, and some..." The driver suddenly sounded a little angry.

Saori didn't understand what he was saying, but she understood the three words "little devils". She shuddered immediately and shrank into Chen Xi's arms.

"Your girlfriend looks very cold. I'll turn up the heater." The driver looked at Saori in the back seat and kindly adjusted the temperature.

"Thank you." Chen Xi hugged Saori, his big hands constantly touching her back, soothing her emotions.

When they arrived at the place, Chen Xi hurriedly got out of the car with Saori.

Saori's face turned red and she took a few long breaths.

"Chen Xi, if they find out that I'm from Japan, will they beat me?" Saori asked nervously, hugging his waist.

She now knows some things. When she was in high school, her Chinese classmates didn't talk about these things.

What the driver said just now has overturned her previous understanding.

"Are you hungry?"

"I'm not very hungry yet."

Saori was obviously a little scared and didn't want to eat anymore.

Chen Xi shook her head slightly and told her not to come along.

The two stood at the intersection of Wenwu Road, looking at the old houses nearby.

This is the birthplace of Grandpa Chen Xi.

The names of the two brothers Chen Kaiwen and Chen Kaiwu were taken from the name of this street.

One in literature and one in martial arts.

Chen Xi took out his cell phone, checked the address on it, and then walked towards a dilapidated residential building.

The house is shabby and very old, not to mention the elevator.

The stairwell is full of debris, and you have to move your body to go up.

Walking up to the second floor, Chen Xi knocked on a door.

"Dong dong."

"Boom."

I knocked for several minutes but no one answered.

Aren't you at home?
Are you going out of town or on business?

Didn’t I tell this guy not to run around?

Did he go back to southern Fujian or to Huajing?
"Creaky~" At this moment, the old wooden door suddenly opened a crack, and it was pitch black inside.

Saori quickly hid behind him. This scene was really scary.

Ten seconds passed and there was no sound from inside.

"Ahem, Chen Fu, I..."

"boom!"

Before Chen Xi could finish his words, the door was quickly closed, and no matter how hard he knocked, there was no response.

"Fuck." He cursed and signaled Saori to step back.

Then he kicked the door, and the bolt, which was not very strong to begin with, flew out.

After the door was kicked open, Chen Xi took out his cell phone and took a picture inside.

"Ah!" Saori suddenly screamed. She saw a person standing next to her, with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes, which was obviously different from the normal people on the street. He looked like a zombie...

"Damn, Chen Fu, right? What are you doing?" Chen Xi asked, clearing his throat.

"Who are you? From the court? I didn't..." The man looked at them warily.

"I'm the one who helped you win the lawsuit and rescued you."

"…Who are you? Why do you know that my hometown is here and why did you arrange for me to come here?"

"My name is Chen Xi. Maybe... it seems... should... we are relatives." Chen Xi thought about it and didn't know how to explain.

"Nonsense, where do I get my relatives from? I grew up in southern Fujian, and later went to Huajing to study and work." Chen Fu shook his head, becoming even more suspicious of Chen Xi.

"This is the result of an investigation by a lawyer, and I'm just guessing..." Chen Xi took out his mobile phone and placed it on the table.

"Chen Fu, 29 years old, graduated from the Optoelectronic Engineering Department of Huajing University of Technology. After graduation, he stayed in the school's computer center to work. He was sued for making the Shanhu Chong QQ..."

"..."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, the man in front of him suddenly fell silent.

Many people have used Shanhu Chong QQ, and its popularity even exceeded the original version because it had many new features and could display friends' IP addresses. It was very popular across the country at the time.

I have to say that Chen Fu is still quite capable, but the results in his previous life were not good.

Last year, Chen Xi asked Su Yue to keep him safe.

"Come and try Qinhuai's duck and vermicelli soup..."

An hour later, in a restaurant near a residential building, Chen Fu pointed at the food on the table.

"Why doesn't your girlfriend talk? She looks so shy..." Chen Fu looked at Saori curiously. He was an old otaku and had no resistance to beautiful girls like Saori. He was always looking for opportunities to chat with her, but the other party didn't talk much.

"Haha, she is timid and introverted." After Chen Xi said this, he felt Saori beside him pinching his waist.

"Do you want me to go with you to Xinlu to work?"

“Well, still do your software development.”

"How are the salaries? How did you know about my situation and hire a lawyer to help me with the lawsuit?"

"When you first enter the company, I will give you a salary of 8,000 yuan. I will see how you perform later. After all, I don't know how you are in this aspect. People as famous as you must know it. You can find out by looking at the website. You are quite popular on Tianya Forum. I will help you with the lawsuit... Of course I have to recruit you. Besides, you are my relative." Chen Xi told Chen Fu the truth.

"Relatives? I still don't quite believe it. This is my grandfather's house. My family members are all in southern Fujian and have rarely returned to Qinhuai..." Chen Fu shook his head.

Although both of them have the surname Chen, this is a big surname. If so many people with the surname Chen across the country claim to be their relatives, wouldn't that be a mess?

"Haha, my hometown is also here. My grandfather and his brothers were named after Wenwu Road."

"I heard from my family that there used to be a lot of people with the surname Chen living here. They were all from the same clan. Later they fled for their lives due to the war. If you put it that way..." Chen Fu touched his chin and began to recall.

"I'm sure you'll get more salary than if you were a teacher. It's a bit of a waste of your talent to teach computer science in school. Why don't you work with me? I'm sure you'll be able to buy a car and a house."

"I don't mind. I was just interested in the mountain lake worms before. There is no profit in it. You just need to make me happy at work."

"No problem, what you said is very similar to my cousin. You two should be able to get along well together." Chen Xi nodded.

Chen Fu and Chen Ran are both technical people, and seem to have similar personalities.

If we bring Uncle Hu over, these three people together might be able to develop a lot of new products.

"Can you make software for mobile phones? I mean for iPhones."

"What do you think? It's not that difficult. By the way, where did you find your girlfriend? She's so cute... Are there any similar ones? Introduce one to me."

Chen Fu replied casually, his eyes falling on Saori again.

Old otakus like him like this best.

Cute face, plump upper...

"Well, I'll take you abroad to look for it next time. Are you interested in going abroad? I'm in Australia now."

"Going abroad? I've never been out of the country since I was a child... Is it dangerous out there..."

"Haha, okay."

Chen Xi thought about it and decided to get him a visa if that didn’t work out, just in case he needed this guy.

"Okay, I plan to take a walk here tomorrow and then take you back to Xinlu. You pack your things."

"I can go anywhere and anytime. I only have a computer..." Chen Fu waved his hand. All he had now was a laptop computer. He was extremely poor.

He had no job this year, so it was naturally impossible for him to go to school.

The previous incident caused such a big fuss, there was no way the school could accommodate him.

He had almost spent all the money he had, and if Chen Xi hadn't come, he would have been planning to make a living by selling pirated software.

Late at night, in the hotel.

"Honey, why does that man keep staring at me with lustful eyes and even staring at my breasts..." Saori said dissatisfiedly while lying on the bed.

"Your thing is big... This shows that he is a normal man."

"Go to hell, it's you who's always..."

"It was already quite big before I met you..."

"Where are we going to play tomorrow? Are we still not allowed to talk? I am dying of suffocation today."

"Let me take you for a stroll and see the scenery. China has a lot of ancient buildings."

"Great."

When she heard that there was some fun to play with, Saori excitedly kissed him on the face.
