Chapter 441: Don't let her chapter fall to the ground
Half a month ago, while accompanying Wen Zhixia during her confinement, Fan Xiaolin did not forget to work.
When she had nothing to do, she would go to the front desk of the confinement center to chat and learned about a secret underground black industry chain of the confinement center.
Some illegal confinement centers may even be involved in human trafficking.
So in the past half month, she lurked in a well-known confinement center in another city and applied for the front desk job. She spent more than ten days collecting clues about their involvement in pornography and human trafficking.
Late last night, she was discovered by the person in charge while hiding in the toilet to search for evidence.
She jumped out of the window to escape and broke her arm.
"So the director granted me a month's leave," Fan Xiaolin pointed at her arm in a cast. "What are you looking at? Shouldn't you be happy for me?"
At this moment, Chen Zhuo came in.
He had just got off work, wearing a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap, looking very youthful.
"Oh my god, Hyolyn!"
He went over and pulled her arm, "What's wrong with you?"
Fan Xiaolin told him the whole story again.
After hearing this, Chen Zhuo's voice broke with heartache. "Why didn't you call me for such an important matter?"
"I'm just working overtime. This is my job," Fan Xiaolin said. "How can I bring my boyfriend with me every day to work?"
She also didn't want to involve Chen Zhuo.
"Then you should let me go," Chen Zhuo frowned and said, "A boyfriend has the obligation to protect you."
Seeing how nervous he was, Fan Xiaolin teased him, "It's too late. The night manager has already chased me to my door with a knife."
"Which unit?" Chen Zhuo asked. "Tell me, and I'll help you get revenge."
Fan Xiaolin: "I won't tell you~"
Chen Zhuo scratched his head anxiously.
His hair has grown out recently, and it's short and fluffy. Xie Baoping doesn't let him shave it, saying that having hair makes him look healthy.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore," Fan Xiaolin said, "Auntie, when is your surgery?"
Xie Baoping looked at her, then at Chen Zhuo, and suddenly said, "Yes, Xiao Zhuo, I can't eat too much during the next few days after the surgery. Why don't you go to your daughter's house and cook for her? Her hands are not very convenient."
Fan Xiaolin's eyes lit up.
She didn't dare tell her parents about her broken hand, fearing that they would find out and go to the director to discuss her resignation.
"Oh, yes, yes," Wen Zhixia immediately chimed in, "Chen Zhuo, Auntie has us here, you don't have to worry too much."
Chen Zhuo raised his eyes, "Is it okay?"
Fan Xiaolin wanted it but pretended to be reserved, "Okay, okay~"
The next night.
After Chen Zhuo helped Xie Baoping take care of everything, he picked up his schoolbag and prepared to cook for Fan Xiaolin.
"This is for my daughter."
Xie Baoping picked up the bracelet under the pillow. She had woven it for Fan Xiaolin using her seat belt. The bracelet was red and yellow in color, and was delicately and finely woven. Four small gold leaves were added to the drawstring, making it as beautiful as the ones bought in the store.
She started weaving this bracelet as soon as she came to Jincheng, but her eyesight was poor, and weaving was tiring for her eyes and hands. She often shed tears while weaving, and later, due to her illness, it took her several months to recover.
Fan Xiaolin lives in a community not far from the Radio and Television Center.
Chen Zhuo knocked on her door and saw her holding a spatula in her hand.
"Are you cooking?" Chen Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, then took it and said, "Let me help you."
Fan Xiaolin ordered barbecue and stir-fried dishes for takeout. The dishes were a little cold, so she planned to stir-fry them again.
"Here, my mother gave it to you." Chen Zhuo took out the bracelet and handed it to her. "She heard from someone that the bracelet made of seat belts can ward off disasters, so she asked you to wear it."
Fan Xiaolin opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"This was woven by our mother herself?"
Chen Zhuo lowered his head and smiled, "Yeah."
"This is so beautiful." Fan Xiaolin took it with one hand, "It looks just like something you buy in the store. Oh, my aunt is so worried about me even though she's sick. How sad."
As she spoke, she stretched out her left hand and said, "Help me put it on."
Chen Zhuo took the bracelet and put it on her left hand.
Xie Baoping specifically touched Fan Xiaolin's wrist and estimated the approximate size. It fit her hand perfectly without slipping or pinching.
"Does it look good?" Fan Xiaolin shook her wrist.
Chen Zhuo smiled, "It looks good."
Now that he is here, Fan Xiaolin no longer has to do the rest of the work herself.
Chen Zhuo helped her put the ordered barbecue into the oven to heat it up, and then stir-fried several other dishes.
While cooking, he took off his coat, leaving only his short-sleeved shirt, revealing the mandala tattoo on his arm.
He cooked without saying a word, and Fan Xiaolin admired him from the side.
Even with the tattoo, he still looks gentle and handsome, with long limbs, a lean body, and even his fingertips are clean. You can't tell at all that he deals with car parts all day long.
This sense of contrast is also a major reason that attracted her.
"What are you looking at..." Chen Zhuo felt embarrassed as Fan Xiaolin stared at him.
Fan Xiaolin asked him, "Are there any women chasing you in your store?"
Chen Zhuo shook his head.
"Are there any men chasing you?"
Chen Zhuo shook his head vigorously.
Boring gourd.
Fan Xiaolin was helpless.
They brought the food to the table.
"Feed me~"
Fan Xiaolin pretended to be delicate and soft.
Chen Zhuo had already picked up a piece of barbecue and was about to put it into her mouth.
This guy is so honest.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself," Fan Xiaolin really wasn't the type to act like a little woman, "You eat yours."
While eating, Chen Zhuo remained quiet, and Fan Xiaolin kept telling him about her secret visit to the confinement center.
"They were reselling the placenta and making it into capsules."
Chen Zhuo: "Placenta, I remember it was over 2,000 per pound."
"They have a postpartum care center downstairs and a massage parlor upstairs, specifically catering to men whose wives can't have sex after having children."
Chen Zhuo: "How despicable."
"Fuck, why are these men so horny? Will they die if they don't have sex?"
Chen Zhuo: "It's better to die. Living is a waste of food."
"Right."
Chen Zhuo is not good at speaking and his expressions are not rich, but he tries his best to pick up the gags and support the main role.
He would never let anything Fan Xiaolin said fall to the ground.
"But I still want to discuss something with you." After she finished talking, Chen Zhuo put down his chopsticks.
Seeing him suddenly become serious, Fan Xiaolin also put down her chopsticks and said, "Go ahead."
"Before you take action next time, can you tell me?" Chen Zhuo looked at her plastered hand. "I can't stop you from pursuing your ideals, but I hope to be the one to protect you."
Fan Xiaolin put away her joking expression.
When Chen Zhuo spoke seriously, he would look her straight in the eye.
His eyes were clear and open, and only his slightly furrowed brows hinted at his emotions at the moment.
Fan Xiaolin always knew that Chen Zhuo was just not good at expressing himself, but was definitely not indifferent or numb.
His joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are distinct, and his emotions are evident in his expression.
"Chen Zhuo, this is why I don't plan to get married." Fan Xiaolin said, "My heart is very wild, and I don't know when it will calm down. Maybe I will never be able to live a life like Zhixia, raising a husband and children, but this is my choice. I don't want to drag anyone down..."
Chen Zhuo waited for her to finish speaking, but he said nothing.
He leaned over to meet her and kissed her on the lips.
