Those Sweet Times
Chapter 68 Part 1

Xiang Nuan blushed and didn't know how to continue the phone conversation. As she was hesitating about what to say next, she heard another man's voice from the other end of the phone. The voice sounded far away: “Chuyan, the elevator isn't working. Go down to get the food from the delivery guy.”

Lin Chuyan retorted that man: “Don't you have legs?”

“I got dumped!”

Xiang Nuan: “......”

She had sharp ears and recognized it was Hu Ge's voice. So…...Hu Ge broke up with his girlfriend?

Lin Chuyan went all the way to Juyuan City to comfort a broken hearted Hu Ge?

After a short while, she heard the sound of a door closing. She knew that Lin Chuyan had gone out the door to pick up the food. She asked Lin Chuyan: “Hu Ge got dumped?”

Lin Chuyan was very frank about it and told her: “To be exact, it's that his girlfriend disappears.”

“Ah?”

“He can't get in touch with his girlfriend, it's been several days already. The girlfriend's cell phone is out of service and there's no reply to any messages left on her WeChat or QQ accounts. It's like she's disappeared from this world.”

Xiang Nuan was surprised to hear the news and asked: “How does that count as being dumped? Isn't this more of a missing person case? Why haven't you called the police? What if anything bad has happened to her……”

“It's more like she's dumped him.”

“Why do you say so?”

“That girl, Koko, borrowed a big sum of money from Hu Ge before she disappeared. The next day after the money got transferred to her account, she disappeared.” Lin Chuyan explained while walking down the stairs. The empty staircase echoed with the rhythmic sound of his footsteps.

Xiang Nuan finally got the whole picture: “So he got scammed? He should call the police……”

She could hear Lin Chuyan lightly sigh then replied to her: “I think he, at least for now, can't face the fact that he got scammed. If I called the police and if the police arrested Koko and proved that she's a swindler…...He'll be too traumatized.”

“Then, what will you do now?”

“I'll let him calm down first for now.”

“Ugh, poor Hu Ge.” Xiang Nuan felt sad for Hu Ge, such a devoted guy who could play good games was very rare. Too bad he'd met a swindler.

Lin Chuyan specifically reminded Xiang Nuan in the end: “Don't tell Shen Zemu.”

……

After picking up the food, Lin Chuyan noticed that there were several delivery tricycles parked out there. Two delivery men, one from S. F. Express and the other from YTO, were squatting on the sidewalk eating their lunch boxes.

Lin Chuyan asked the SF delivery man: “Is there a package for Lin Chuyan?”

“Which building is it?”

“Building six.”

“There seems to be one. Let me check.” The delivery man put down his lunch box and pulled out his key to open the container to check. After a little while, he said: “There's two.”

“En.” Lin Chuyan replied and turned to walk away.

The delivery man was taken aback: “Hey, aren't you going to take them?”

“Aren't you going to deliver to the door?”

“Big brother, have some pity for me. The elevator isn't working today.”

Lin Chuyan gave the delivery man an extra 20 RMB for taking the two packages to the fifth floor.

Chen Yinghu hadn't gone out of the house for quite a few days. He was in his pajamas and looked utterly dejected. He became curious when Lin Chuyan brought back two boxes and circled around the boxes trying to figure out what they were.

After the delivery man left, Chen Yinghu asked Lin Chuyan: “What are these?”

“Wood.”

“What are you buying wood for?”

“To build a house.”

“......? ? ?” Chen Yinghu had no idea what Lin Chuyan was talking about.
