Chapter 97: A Bold Individual Like This, Give Me a Dozen (2/2)

“Young man, you seem too young to be here to pick up a child, right?” At this moment, a middle-aged man came over and smiled at Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng shrugged and said, “I’m picking up a child for a friend.”

“Oh… oh…” The man nodded, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a cloud of smoke, then offered one to Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng waved his hand to decline the cigarette with a smile, “Thanks, but I don’t smoke.”

“Ah, men…” The man smiled indifferently, “You may not smoke now, but sooner or later, you’ll pick up the habit.”

“Buzz—buzz—buzz—”

At that moment, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Soon, a wave of commotion spread from inside the middle school, and the lights in the classrooms went out one after another.

The school gate opened, and students surged out like a tide. Seeing this, Shen Cheng quickly took out his phone and began comparing the students one by one with the photo sent by Xiang Long.

The middle-aged man patted Shen Cheng on the shoulder and smiled before returning to his spot.

Scanning the students with a furrowed brow, Shen Cheng suddenly spotted a very familiar figure, and at the same time, that figure seemed to notice him as well.

“Damn!” Shen Cheng couldn’t help but curse. Just as he was about to duck into his car, he saw the familiar figure jogging toward him, waving and shouting from afar, “Bold individual!”

A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Shen Cheng took a deep breath and stood still, watching in silence as Shen Die ran up to him.

“Bold individual! Bold individual!” Wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack, Shen Die excitedly said, “Did you come to pick me up?”

“Take the bus home yourself. I have other things to do.” Shen Cheng crossed his arms, remaining unmoved.

“Busy with other things at the middle school gate during dismissal time?” Shen Die thought for a moment, and suddenly her expression turned horrified. Pointing at Shen Cheng, she exclaimed, “Perverted bold individual! Could it be that Cheese and the others aren’t enough for you? Now you want to lure middle school girls too?!”

Hearing this, a vein throbbed on Shen Cheng’s forehead. He raised his hand as if to give Shen Die a knock on the head, but after considering it, he sighed and lowered his hand—after all, she was his precious little sister.

“Little Die, why did you run so fast?” At this moment, two middle school girls Shen Cheng didn’t recognize ran up to Shen Die, panting. They were slightly startled when they saw Shen Cheng, “Who are you?”

“Hehe, let me introduce you. This is my bold individual!” Shen Die proudly placed her hands on her hips, “The owner of the best cat café in Lingshi City!”

Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly. Well, that was true—after all, his was the only cat café in Lingshi City.

Hearing this, the two girls’ eyes lit up instantly, “You’re the owner of the Light Spot Cat Café? You’re so young!”

“Ahhh… I’ve been wanting to go to Light Spot Cat Café, but I’ve never had the time…”

“Yeah, me too…”

After chatting briefly with Shen Cheng, the girls left together. Before leaving, Shen Cheng handed Shen Die some cash, “Take your friends out for a nice meal.”

Receiving the money, Shen Die’s face lit up with joy, “Thanks, bold individual! You’re the best!”

The two other girls were extremely envious, surrounding Shen Die and occasionally glancing back at Shen Cheng with admiration.

A bold individual like this, give me a dozen!

After watching Shen Die and the others leave, Shen Cheng stood silently for a while longer, realizing that the person he was supposed to pick up had not yet shown up.

By this time, almost all the lights at the school had gone out, leaving only the streetlights on. The school gate was almost empty, with just a few taxis lingering.

After a while, even the taxis left. Shen Cheng frowned slightly, beginning to suspect he had missed the person.

Just as Shen Cheng was about to leave, a striking figure emerged from the school.

It was a middle school girl with delicate features. She had her hands in her uniform pockets, her long blonde hair and striking contact lenses made her stand out, and her earrings sparkled under the streetlights.

Glancing at the photo sent by Xiang Long once more, Shen Cheng nodded in confirmation.

This must be Xiang Long’s daughter, Xiang Xin!
