Chapter 42: Can I Have It Back?
Holy shit! Li Xin really gave me them, I understand her intentions, she felt that selling this is very profitable, so did it, after all, we are poor children, money is the most important thing for us, and 'that' was just a rag, it was nothing.
But what do I do with this stuff? Definitely not to take back to school, Zhang Xiong, that boy is not happy with me, if he found out I would certainly be infamous. Throwing it away is not possible, should I give it back to her? But she was so embarrassed bringing it to me, and then I just gave it back to her? How can I do that?
As a result, I thought about it and did not know what to do, holding the bag and walking around the street several times and still could not think of a way to deal with it. Then pondered for a while, how about giving Qin Lan to help me hide it?
I want to make money now, and Li Xin also wants to make money, she is naive, and I can't deal with this right now.
Whereas Qin Lan could, she is my good friend, I could explain to her that she should just take it, but she will definitely scold me, after all, it belongs to Li Xin...
I had no choice but to turn to her. The result is self-evident, I was scolded by her, and she was particularly aggrieved and angry: "Why do you want me to help you keep this dirty thing, it's Li Xin's... I'm so pissed!"
I spent a full hour or so coaxing and pleading with her, and she eventually grimaced and agreed.
I gave her it, she directly threw it in the closet, not wanting to see it, I was now comfortable, and the hot potato was no more.
After that was done, I coaxed Qin Lan and went downstairs. As a result, I met the landlord, I was just looking for him, so I stopped him decisively.
He was very warm towards me, so I lowered my voice and said, "In the afternoon, you can go to the right alley of Fuqian Road to collect it yourself. There are more than a dozen girls there, so you say that Sister Lan asked you to collect them."
The landlord was pleasantly surprised: "Really?" I smirked: "Why would I lie to you? It’ll be there..."
He swallowed his saliva and immediately agreed, I spoke again: "Money is not allowed to change, ah, I still have seventy percent, you thirty percent."
He didn't care, probably thinking of going to see the girls' live "performance".
Now I don't even have to face those female hooligans. To be honest, I really felt sick when I did it, so I’m glad now.
I went back to school to avoid being caught by the teacher.
School is still the same, Zhang Xiong still sneers at me, but I do not care anymore, whatever.
The only person I care about in this school is Lin Yin Yin, we were friends at first, but now our relationship makes me a little bit lost.
But I couldn't force it, so I could only sigh that fate wasn't with me.
The next two days I did not go visit Li Xin, because Xia said that whenever I visited, Li Xin would be too embarrassed to go to work.
I can't keep visiting her because I can't delay her work. I study every day, then write in my diary to sharpen my writing, and in my free time I talk with Qin Lan, I managed to find the phone she gave me, what happened was my mother gave it to me, and she said she was done using the phone for PRD to work, I did not say anything, let her handle it.
Three days later I couldn't hold back, I was anxious, I didn't know what happened to Li Xin, is she writing to me again?
I was afraid that I would disturb her in the past, so I held back but thought about going over during the weekend. It turned out that I received a letter that afternoon.
The homeroom teacher gave it to me, I have never received a letter from the post office, and looking at the signature I was stunned, it was Li Xin.
She went to the post office to send a letter from Takasu Middle School to the 7th High School? Why should she do that?
I also can not help but be anxious, she must have an urgent matter and bad to find me, otherwise there is no need to go to the post office to send a letter.
I hurried to find a place with fewer people to open it and look at it, and the results was that I was dumbfounded.
"I asked Sister Xia why others bought that thing. It turned out...why didn't you tell me? Can you give it back to me?"
Her words were very plain, but I blinked and could almost imagine Li Xin's shame and anger. I told you, she certainly did not know what others want it for, and now that she knows, she intends to take it back.
My egg is broken, fuck, why is this so funny, I have to give it back now?
There is no doubt that they must be returned, since Li Xin knows this kind of thing is very dirty, she will not sell.
I didn't plan to sell it at first, and now she wants them back, which is exactly what I hoped. But it's just embarrassing. It's embarrassing to say.
I did not think much about it, since this was after school, I rushed to Qin Lan's house.
Before going to Qin Lan's house, I went to the milk tea store, I deliberately looked inside, Li Xin was not inside.
I was too confused to go in, Xia sister sneered at me: "You really came today, your little girlfriend was too shy and took a leave of absence."
I choked, and I couldn't help but cry a little. I asked her to give me some paper and a pen again, and I started to write: I'll go get it back for you right now, and please wait for me at the school gate.
When I was done writing I handed it to Sister Xia, who rolled her eyes and was soft and amused: "Go away, she will surely sneak over here soon."
I then went away and ran to find Qin Lan. This time I didn't encounter the landlord, I went straight up to the third floor and knocked on the door.
I thought the handsome man would open the door, but it was not him, but Qin Lan.
I was a little surprised, and casually asked where the handsome was? She was not surprised: "He moved out yesterday."
I was stunned, moved out? Why did he move away? Qin Lan's eyes are an unusual color, but she was equally puzzled: "I do not know? If he's gone, he's gone. Why do you care?"
Qin Lan knew something, but she refused to tell me, just like how she mentioned she bought a relationship in a bar.
I can't force her to speak about it, but I said that it's good he went away, so you don't worry about perverts. Qin Lan gave me a glance and pulled me to go shopping.
I laughed dryly: "I'm not available today, I'm here to get something." She glared: "You haven't come for a few days? Do you know how lonely I get by myself?"
I said, "Wait a minute, I'll come back later after I get my stuff.
She asked me what I was doing with the panties. I said I was giving it back to Li Xin, she sprayed: "She wants it back?"
As soon as I explained it to her, she looked angry: "She’s really pure, she must be faking it."
Pretending my ass, ah!
I ignored her and went through her closet. And Li Xin's things should be in the closet.
But I rummaged around and couldn't find it, I immediately got anxious and went back and forth a few more times, still nothing.
What? Qin Lan frowned: "Can't find it?" I nodded, she gloated: "Haha, you deserved it.
I said stop joking, did you secretly hide it? She kicked me: "I don't even want to touch it, hide it my ass, anyway I didn't move it, did you search the wrong place?"
It's impossible, I searched again and then searched all the places where I could hide things, but I still couldn't find it.
Holy shit, did someone steal it? I said you have a thief in your house? Qin Lan said no ah, I have a lot of things, why would the thief take that?
This incident is too bizarre, it was placed there, but now it's suddenly gone?
I frowned and pondered for half a second, and suddenly thought of the handsome man.
I hurriedly went to the landlord. The landlord was trying to chat with a client. I didn't waste time and asked directly, "The man on the third floor who moved out yesterday. Did he do anything strange?"
The landlord shook his head directly, then nodded: "He asked me for the key to your friend's room, saying that your friend was not there, he had something left at your friend's room and was in a hurry to get it back."
Holy shit! How the fuck can you give out a key so easily!
Fuck, I can't believe he really stole it, but it doesn't make sense, why would he purposely go steal that thing?
Qin Lan also followed me down, her face calm: "He probably thought it was mine."
Eighty percent of his time here, he wanted to steal Qin Lan's, but managed to find Li Xin's and stole the wrong one.
This was fucking weird, I pulled Qin Lan away from the landlord: "Who the hell was he? What's going on?"
Qin Lan hesitated for a while before saying helplessly: "I don't actually know, but I feel that he came to monitor me , and suddenly moved out and stole things, he must know that we would find out that he stole it, he must’ve done it on purpose!"
What the hell is wrong with that son of a bitch? What the hell is this? Even if he stole it, he still let us know on purpose!
I was so angry that I asked the landlord to contact him, but the landlord said he didn't leave a number. Qin Lan thoughtfully kept silent, I wanted to hit someone so badly, who knows what that guy would do if he stole it?
I asked Qin Lan what else did you know about him? She shrugged: "I don't know."
It's really hard to figure things out. Li Xin is definitely waiting for me now. No matter how angry I am, I can't help but go to see Li Xin first.
I said goodbye to Qin Lan, the landlord also said he was going to collect the underwear, which did not arrive at noon, and he made an appointment for the afternoon.
I ignored him and ran to Takasu Middle School and saw Li Xin standing by the river outside the school from afar, a bit fidgety.
Translator Notes: Oh boy here we go, we find out that the handsome man was a weirdo after all!!! I think Qin Lan problems knows something, but uhh we’ll find out next time and ill see you thennn byeeeee
