Chapter 18 “We’re here to find the monitor.”

Shen Xingyan felt like his ears were going deaf, so he moved the phone receiver away and only brought it back when there was no sound on the other end.

“Are you crazy?”

“Huh?” Chen Rui, who was anxiously choosing clothes on this end, didn’t hear clearly and just responded blankly.

“Just buy some clothes, why did you call me?” Shen Xingyan took a few deep breaths and finally came to his senses.

“It’s not that I think your taste is better than mine, but this is the first time I’m going out with a junior!”

Shen Xingyan glanced at the time, it was exactly ten in the morning, he was really impatient with Chen Rui.

“Just going out to watch a movie, it’s not like we’re going alone, why are you so nervous.” He got up from the bed full of complaints.

“Oh, it’s the first time after all, we need to leave a good impression!” Chen Rui’s nervousness could be felt through the screen.

“Shen Xingyan! Please, accompany me to take a look.”

“Tsk.” Shen Xingyan impatiently clicked his tongue.

“Acting all fussy about buying clothes, hurry up and come to my place to pick me up.”

Without waiting for Chen Rui to continue nagging, Shen Xingyan hung up the phone, randomly pulled out some casual clothes from the wardrobe, thinking of giving those test papers to Ji Jiangye, so he even took his backpack.

As he walked down the stairs, he heard Chen Rui’s shouting from afar.

Shen Xingyan took a deep breath, clenched his fists, feeling somewhat frustrated.

“Being foolish is also brotherhood, brother, no need to fight.”

When Chen Rui came in and saw Shen Xingyan still standing on the stairs, he shouted loudly, “Come down quickly, Shen Xingyan! Let’s go, my driver is waiting at my house!”

The nanny who was about to prepare some food was stunned for a moment, “Young master, are you going out?”

“Yes, don’t prepare my things.” Shen Xingyan came down the stairs, put on his shoes, and was immediately pushed forward by Chen Rui.

“Don’t eat, don’t eat, after buying clothes, I’ll treat you to Japanese food!”

Only after getting into the car did Chen Rui notice that Shen Xingyan was carrying a backpack.

“Shen, Shen Xingyan? Why do you have a backpack?” He pointed at the backpack incredulously.

Shen Xingyan smiled, a somewhat sinister smile.

“Studying, believe it or not?”

“I don’t believe it.” Chen Rui shook his head rapidly like a rattle drum.

Shen Xingyan, who hadn’t slept well, snorted coldly, “If you don’t believe it, why bother asking, hurry up, buy clothes, and then let’s go solve this thing together.”

Chen Rui didn’t understand, but compared to the backpack issue, obviously having a good image in the afternoon was more important.

The two headed straight to the nearest mall, where Chen Rui went crazy trying on clothes within two hours, never really strolled around the streets before, even Shen Xingyan, who rarely accompanied Shen’s mother shopping, was going to be exhausted for the first time.

Within two hours, Chen Rui had visited every clothing store in the mall and ended up buying three sets.

After shopping, they randomly picked a restaurant, and Shen Xingyan felt like he had lost half his life.

“Don’t ever make me go with you next time.”

Knowing how he looked today, Chen Rui put on a smile full of apologies, “Eat, eat, eat, order what you like! As long as I successfully pursue her, the first big red envelope will be yours!”

Shen Xingyan kept ordering expensive dishes, feeling a bit more comfortable only after seeing his pained expression.

They ate quickly, and by the time they finished, it was almost one o’clock.

“Shen Xingyan, let’s go, didn’t you say there’s something you need to take care of?”

Shen Xingyan directly forwarded the address Ji Jiangye had given him to Chen Rui, “This is the place.”

When Chen Rui saw the address, he was slightly surprised, “Isn’t this a property that sells out as soon as it’s released, it’s close to our school, quite valuable.”

“Really?” Shen Xingyan didn’t pay much attention to these things.

“Of course.” Chen Rui stroked his chin, “My family wanted to buy a unit at the time, but it required a lottery, and we didn’t have that luck.”

“Later, they tried to find connections, but it still didn’t work out.”

These words made Shen Xingyan start to doubt, what does Ji Jiangye’s family do? Are they that rich?

“Did your family buy this place?” Chen Rui could only think of this possibility.

“No.” After thinking for a few seconds, Shen Xingyan decided to get in the car and buy tickets first, he would trick Chen Rui first.

Chen Rui laughed twice, “Could it be a relative? It can’t be our monitor, right?”

This time, Shen Xingyan didn’t refute, he remained silent, and Chen Rui, with his big heart, didn’t suspect anything.

“Hey, but seriously, I heard it from someone else before.”

“What?”

“It was just when you were upset about your failed pursuit, I didn’t dare to mention it to you, but now I remember!”

“Hurry up and tell me, don’t keep me in suspense.”

Chen Rui leaned in, looking cautious, “I heard that the monitor is being kept by someone.”

“?”

“Because someone saw the monitor getting into a car with an old man, and that car is said to be a global limited edition!” Chen Rui’s tone was as if he had seen it himself.

“I don’t dare to believe it either, after all, the monitor is really quiet in class, if it weren’t for Shen Xingyan, you had a crush on him before, our group of—”

“……” Shen Xingyan immediately interrupted him, “Alright, you can shut up.”

“How can you believe such unfounded rumors?”

“Didn’t I get falsely accused of being some big shot’s illegitimate son before?”

Chen Rui blinked, “That’s true too.”

While they were talking, the driver had already driven to the outside of the community, as the car was not registered in the community, so they could only get off and walk in.

“By the way, Shen Xingyan, you still haven’t said who you’re bringing this thing to.” Chen Rui followed behind Shen Xingyan.

“Ji Jiangye.”

Chen Rui stopped in his tracks, his expression froze.

Shen Xingyan didn’t care about him, he continued walking forward, until they were about to reach the stairs, Chen Rui ran over.

“Wait, wait, wait! Wait!” Chen Rui stepped into the elevator, “Shen Xingyan, how did you know Ji Jiangye lives here!”

“And you’re not…”

As soon as the elevator door opened, Shen Xingyan walked out, not even giving Chen Rui time to think.

And this time, after pressing the doorbell, an old man opened the door.

The old man was wearing a Tang suit, even though his hair was already white, one could still see that he must have good manners.

“You are—-“

Shen Xingyan also didn’t expect that it was an old man who opened the door, although he felt that Ji Jiangye shouldn’t be that poor, but he couldn’t help but associate it with what Chen Rui had just said.

“We’re here to find the monitor.”

“The monitor?” The old man suddenly realized, “It’s Jiangye, right.”

“But he’s now—-“

Suddenly, Ji Jiangye’s voice came from inside the house, “I’m fine, grandpa, let them in.”
