Capítulo 2000: Chapter 1299: Langlang Mountain (Part 2)
Then he turned on the phone.
No other choice.
He could only trouble the Daoist Sister to make a trip.
But when he was about to call Tanki Liuli, Jiang Chen noticed a problem.
— There was no signal!
“How many years ago was that phone made? You should replace it.”
Shi Qianxi calmly drank, without even turning her head.
Jiang Chen looked at the Apple in his hand, once worth a few thousand on the market. He bought this phone not long after he and Ai Qian got together during his junior year, when they were in the midst of a passionate romance.
Of course.
It definitely wasn’t paid for by him,
at that ti he was working everywhere, studying and earning a living, how could he afford such a luxury.
That’s right.
This phone was a gift Ai Qian secretly bought for him.
Neither of them might have imagined at that mont that their relationship would end so embarrassingly.
Ti is indeed the scariest magician.
It can turn people into sothing they never imagined they’d beco.
A lovesick person isn’t a fool.
The reason Jiang Chen was willing to still be good to Ai Qian after the breakup was because there truly was a ti when it was beautiful.
Perhaps not too long.
But for a youth without parents and almost nothing, the laughter and warmth of that ti was already incredibly precious.
So when Luo Peng and others criticized Ai Qian harshly, he always stayed silent and even spoke on her behalf.
Because he never felt she owed him anything.
“Stop looking, staring at it won’t produce a signal. This is how iPhones are, switch to a dostic brand.”
Jiang Chen snapped out of it.
It’s been five or six years.
It’s ti to replace it.
He raised his head and looked at the unflustered Shi Qianxi.
This witch definitely did it on purpose.
Or maybe she anticipated it.
Seeing that he had an iPhone, she returned the phone so happily.
As for knowing there would be no signal here.
She ca here years ago.
Of course, no signal doesn’t an he can’t call for help. At least calling SOS doesn’t require a signal.
But is it really worth wasting public resources for such a trivial matter?
Even if the rescue crew ca, he would feel embarrassed.
“You’re not planning to spend the night here, right? The temperature at night won’t be as high as it is now, and we don’t have a tent.”
Jiang Chen reminded kindly.
“No tent, but we have a car. Did you forget the introduction at the Morning Light launch? It’s a mobile ho. Staying overnight in it isn’t considered drunk driving.”
Jiang Chen found it both amusing and frustrating, “Stop fooling around, use your phone to call soone.”
Shi Qianxi continued to drink lazily, ignoring him.
Jiang Chen felt a headache coming on.
“Don’t joke. What if we et bad people?”
Given the size of Langlang Mountain, it shouldn’t be necessary to worry about wolves and tigers.
“Aren’t you able to handle three or five people easily?”
Jiang Chen looked serious, “You never know, it might rain later.”
Don’t say nobody warned you.
Monts after Jiang Chen spoke, weak droplets of rain started to fall from the sky, swaying in the breeze.
Shi Qianxi looked up, surprised, “You can predict the weather?”
No need to predict the weather.
Isn’t there a weather forecast on the phone?
Jiang Chen stood up.
“Where are you going?”
“Sit here and get wet?”
Jiang Chen retorted.
“Don’t you think a little rain is more atmospheric?”
Jiang Chen stayed silent.
Seeing people around him getting married one after another had clearly affected this young lady a bit.
“I’m not in good health, getting wet easily leads to a cold.”
Jiang Chen put on his shoes, and surprisingly left Shi Qianxi behind, walking alone towards the Morning Light, getting into the car, he found that her phone was indeed inside, and when he picked it up, it really was out of battery.
After searching for a while, Jiang Chen still couldn’t find where the wireless charging module was located. He looked up and saw the woman, who had claid rain was more atmospheric, running towards him, not forgetting to pack up the food and drink.
Won.
Body always more honest than words.
“Wasn’t it more atmospheric?”
Shi Qianxi hopped into the car, “It’s the sa in the car.”
Jiang Chen didn’t continue to tease her.
The rain wasn’t heavy, a few drops fell now and then, not even wetting the windshield.
This truly was the sprinkle of rain before the mountain.
“How long can this car’s power last?”
“There’s no problem running at full power for twelve hours.”
After speaking, Shi Qianxi said: “Hello Xiao Chen, turn on all the car lights, air conditioning, recline the seats.”
“Got it.”
Then Jiang Chen passively felt the seat recline until it was completely horizontal.
Shi Qianxi’s side was the sa.
Perfect.
It’s really like a bed now.
Technology indeed changes life!
The only downside is the rain, so we can’t open the sunroof, but the fully transparent canopy doesn’t affect enjoying the night view while lying in the car.
Shi Qianxi took off her shoes again and took out the wine from the bag.
“Are you serious?”
“Isn’t Li Shuru not ho?”
Alright then.
She even knows Li Shuru’s whereabouts.
“Just one night, you really don’t want to?”
Boss Jiang has always been swayed by soft words, hearing this, it’s hard for him to speak heartlessly.
“What about Uncle Shi? Won’t he worry?”
“I already told my dad.”
Jiang Chen didn’t relax; on the contrary, his heart tightened: “What did you say?”
“I said I was staying over at a friend’s house.”
“…”
Jiang Chen found himself speechless, half amused and half distressed, “Girl, how old are you? Are you afraid Uncle Shi doesn’t know what you’re doing outside?”
“What did I do? I’m just drinking with you, right?”
Jiang Chen was speechless again and could only sigh helplessly.
“Don’t get into trouble…”
“Trouble you? Have I ever troubled you? If I wanted to trouble you, would I have waited until now? You kidnapped back then, took scandalous photos, tore my clothes, grabbed my stockings…”
“Drinking. I’ll join you!”
Jiang Chen’s eyelids twitched, hurriedly interrupting, quickly picking up a can of beer.
Darn it.
He thought the girl had long forgotten.
People do need to be responsible for their actions.
“You don’t have to force yourself.”
Shi Qianxi suddenly beca understanding at this point.
Jiang Chen knew she was being passive-aggressive, using reverse psychology. He opened the pull tab with a “pop.”
“I can stay with you, but you have to promise that the past is wiped clean; don’t bring it up again.”
“Deal.”
Shi Qianxi was so straightforward, it made Jiang Chen skeptical.
“You promise to keep this agreent?”
“Have I ntioned it to anyone all this ti?”
Fair enough.
The matter wasn’t exactly honorable for either side; Boss Jiang would certainly lose face if it got out, but it wouldn’t be great for Chairman Shi either.
If it were any other woman, there wouldn’t be much to fear; it’s a mutual damage situation, but this girl…
Really hard to predict.
Cross her, and she’ll definitely not hold back.
Jiang Chen nodded, as if granting her imnse trust.
“I trust you.”
How moving.
“But I have a condition.”
Shi Qianxi suddenly said.
His already tense heart skipped a beat, Jiang Chen spoke nervously: “What condition?”
“You can’t say no to tonight.”
“…”
Jiang Chen hesitated, wanting to resolve everything at once, but couldn’t suppress his internal worry.
But before he could speak, Shi Qianxi spoke first.
She really knew him well.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make you do anything illegal, nor go against your principles.”
Jiang Chen’s words were instantly held back.
She laid it out so clearly, if he said more it would be a bit misplaced.
The forr Witch Shi wasn’t trustworthy, but Chairman Shi must have a sense of contract.
“Deal.”
Jiang Chen no longer doubted, raised the beer can, and clinked it with her.
Shi Qianxi, calm and composed, also raised her beer can and clinked it with his.
Boss Jiang’s judgnt was definitely correct, evidenced by Chairman Shi’s conduct until now.
She hadn’t troubled him; she was straightforward, didn’t block him when he got into the car, always sticking to facts and logic.
But Boss Jiang might have overlooked one thing.
Chairman Shi is certainly keeping her word now.
Laws are clear-cut, not allowing any mix-ups.
But the word “principles” varies from person to person, with a lot of room for interpretation.
