Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

One afternoon, Qin Yuchen sat under the eaves and watched Zhang Qiling feeding the fish with his back turned to him.

He and Zhang Qiling were the only ones at home today. Heixiazi and Fatty took Jie Yuchen to who knows where and they didn't come back all morning. Even they had lunch. Wuxie stayed in the courtyard for two days and was called back by her second uncle early this morning, but there was no news from her.

Tan Yuchen boredly threw a few fish feed balls at Zhang Qiling, which he intended to feed the fish, but Zhang Qiling stopped him from eating them.

Tan Yuchen didn't care, so he took a small stool from the house and sat down, watching the fish farmer Zhang Busy.

Zhang Qiling must have felt his movement and glanced back, then came to him with fish feed: "What's wrong?"

Tan Yuchen handed the piece in his hand to Zhang Qiling, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little bored."

"Yes." Zhang Qiling responded, carrying two portions of fish feed back into the house, and then also brought out a small bench and sat down next to Qin Yuchen.

"Do you think Lao Qin will agree to our arrangement?" The fat man's loud voice came from outside the yard. Tan Yuchen raised his eyebrows when he heard his name, a little curious about what they had planned.

"Don't be afraid. When the time comes, we will let Mr. Hua'er speak, and Lao Tan will definitely agree." Qin Yuchen knew it was a blind man as soon as he heard the mean swishing voice.

"You blind man, you have made such a mess of yourselves and let me talk about it?"

"No, Mr. Hua'er, I love you the most~"

Tan Yuchen watched the three of them walk into the yard from the door and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

The three people who had just entered the yard were startled. The fat man pushed Xie Yuchen and said to Qin Yuchen, "Master Hua'er, go quickly! It's up to you."

Jie Yuchen: "..."

Tan Yuchen rested his chin on his hand and looked at them, waiting patiently for Jie Yuchen to speak.

Jie Yuchen was helpless by the black blind man and the fat man, so he had to come to Qin Yuchen and said hesitantly: "Teacher..."

"Huh?" Tan Yuchen rolled his eyes. Although his intuition told him that the two people behind Jie Yuchen must be holding back something bad, he couldn't resist being curious about what could make the always decisive Jie Yuchen so entangled.

Jie Yuchen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and looked like he was risking everything: "The blind man and the fat man posted a blind date information for you on their mobile phones, and then someone came up and said they wanted to meet..."

"..."

"What?" Tan Yuchen looked shocked and couldn't believe what he heard.

The fat man hugged the black blind man and walked up to Tan Yuchen, smiling so hard that he couldn't bear to be beaten: "Hey, old Tan, is the little girl waiting in the restaurant right now?"

Tan Yuchen... Tan Yuchen hardened his fist and said with a smile, "Say it again."

The fat man hurriedly hid behind the blind man Hei, stuck half of his head out and patted the blind man Hei Xiazi on the shoulder: "Master Hei, you have to stop Lao Qin from beating him!"

"Ahem..." The black blind man coughed lightly and received the look from Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling glared at the fat man and the blind man, stood up to separate them from Tan Yuchen, and then lowered his eyes to look at Tan Yuchen.

Tan Yuchen didn't pay attention to Zhang Qiling's movements. He took a few breaths and asked, "So you are still waiting in the restaurant, right?"

"Yes." The black blind man replied, still speaking without restraint, "Don't worry, Old Tan, you have to believe in the eyes of the blind man and me and the fat man. You will definitely be satisfied after seeing it."

"Ha!" Tan Yuchen pulled Zhang Qiling away from him and stood up, smiling harmlessly, "Okay, let's go take a look."

"I'm going?!" The four people's shocked eyes were all focused on Tan Yuchen, and the fat man said a curse word in disbelief.

The blind man couldn't help but look at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling was wearing a hood and lowered his head. The blind man couldn't see his expression clearly. He could only tell the blind man that he was in a bad mood through his tight lips.

The black blind man asked: "Really?"

"Yeah." Tan Yuchen nodded affirmatively, "But you two are with me."

"That's no problem." The fat man patted his chest and couldn't help but glance at the person next to him who was distributing air-conditioning.

"Xiao Chen, just wait for us at home." Tan Yuchen turned to Jie Yuchen and said.

"Okay." Tan Yuchen waited until Jie Yuchen nodded and then followed the black blind man and the fat man out.

Zhang Qiling watched Qin Yuchen leave, take half a step forward, and then stop.

He tugged on the brim of his hat to suppress the emotions in his heart, and ignored Jie Yuchen, who was hesitant to speak, and turned around and returned to the house.

★————

In a restaurant with simple and elegant decoration, three men and one woman were sitting somewhere near the window.

The girl was wearing an off-white skirt. One of the three men was wearing black sunglasses, one was chubby, and the other had a calm face.

How to describe this scene...it can only be summed up in two words - embarrassing!

The girl's hands under the table clasped her nails nervously. She looked at the calm young man opposite and said, "So... they are joking?"

Qin Yuchen picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water: "Yeah."

"I'm sorry that I asked you to come here specially." Tan Yuchen said, "If you don't feel relieved, you can deal with them how you want."

"It's not Lao Tan..." Tan Yuchen interrupted Fatty's words by slapping him on the thigh. He gave Fatty a friendly smile, "I believe they won't resist."

"Yes, yes..." Fatty endured the pain and nodded honestly, "I'm so sorry, sister."

"Pfft." The girl finally relaxed looking at the three of them, smiled and waved her hands, "It's okay, I was forced to come here by my family, you don't have to be sorry."

"Harm, isn't this good?" The black blind man poured water for Tan Yuchen and winked at the fat man.

"Yes, yes, that's right. Just treat it as a friend." The fat man answered immediately and nodded to the girl, "Sister, just order whatever you want to eat, and I'll pay for it, fat man."

The girl covered her lips and smiled: "Thank you, but these are enough."

"You're welcome." Hei Xiazi took out the gift that Qin Yuchen requested in advance and handed it to the girl. "This is the gift prepared by Fatty and I. I hope you won't dislike it."

"No, you really don't have to do this..."

"Take it, it's just your intention." Tan Yuchen said.

"It's really unnecessary..."

"Take it, take it..."

"Hurry up and take it, sister, you are going to be exposed soon..."

"..."

The girl couldn't shirk it and had to accept it. She nodded sheepishly: "Thank you then."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"No need to be polite to us."

"Ah."

……

It was already evening when the three of them separated from the girl. The fat man was ready to send the little girl home but was politely refused.

The three of them were standing on the street staring at each other. The black blind man and the fat man were about to say something, but Qin Yuchen glared back.

The two smiled awkwardly, and Qin Yuchen rolled his eyes and turned into a fruit shop on the street.

The black blind man and the fat man quickly followed.

"Don't be angry, Lao Qin. The blind man and I were just playing around. Who would have thought that someone would see it and actually believe it?"

"That's right, Fatty and I just sent a photo and made a few casual introductions.

I can only say that your image, Lao Qin, is too good, and the language and words of Fatty and I are too convincing, so..."

"..."
