Ji Chen gave a cough. “Sir, what shall we do now?”
What do they do?
Should he let her meet with Lin Xi’er to get her passport and then leave him forever?
With sourness deeply etched between his brows, he paused before fishing out his cell phone and calling Su Yanbin. “Where are you now?”
Su Yanbin was just having some fun with a celebrity when the call came through. With his fun spoiled, he gruffly asked, “What’s up, Leader Ting?”
It had seemed like Si Zhengting and Zhuang Nainai had made up during the event earlier. Was he calling to show off their love?
Unexpectedly, Si Zhengting said, “Do you know who Lin Xi’er is?”
Su Yanbin nodded. “I do. I’ve got her number, actually. Are you looking for her?”
Hearing this, Si Zhengting lowered his gaze. “Help me do something.”

Having been hanging around West Gate, Lin Xi’er and her boyfriend went straight to the spicy soup shop after the call with Zhuang Nainai.
They ordered a large bowl of soup. Just as they were tucking in together heartily, Lin Xi’er’s cell phone rang; picking it up, she realized it was Su Yanbin.
Huffily, she answered, “Hey!”
Su Yanbin spoke immediately. “Hey, pretty girl Lin, are you around West Gate?”
Lin Xi’er raised her head in an instant, scanning the surroundings. “How do you know?”
Su Yanbin broke into laughter. “I guessed! Can you do me a favor?”
Lin Xi’er curled her lips. “What favor?”
Su Yanbin said, “Well, I dropped my wallet somewhere in the shopping mall at West Gate. I thought I saw you somewhere around too, so I was wondering… could you lend me 200 dollars to grab a cab?”
Lin Xi’er smiled. “How will you thank me?”
“Thank you? How about getting married?”
Lin Xi’er immediately made disapproving sounds. She stole a glance at her boyfriend and, seeing that he hadn’t misunderstood anything, replied, “Where are you? I’ll come by and pass you the cash.”
“Get out of the door, turn left, and then…”
Lin Xi’er walked out together with her boyfriend, following Su Yanbin’s instructions. Having walked one big round with Su Yanbin nowhere in sight, Lin Xi’er hollered into the phone, “Damn, Su Yanbin! You’re taking me for a spin!”
Su Yanbin laughed. “You’re realizing it only now?”
Lin Xi’er was flabbergasted.
Just as Lin Xi’er was about to reply to him, a figure brushed past her at lightning speed, giving her no time to dodge!
Knocked off balance, Lin Xi’er stumbled and took a few steps backward. She knitted her brows just as Zhang Zhuo reached out to steady her.
“Are you alright?” Zhang Zhuo asked, concerned.
Lin Xi’er nodded her head, patting her own chest. “How can these people walk about without keeping their eyes open?”
Just as she said this, something began to feel amiss. Lowering her head, she realized that her sling bag was gone!
—
“Boo hoo, Nainai… I’m so sorry, that thief was just so vile! Boo hoo… it’s all Su Yanbin’s fault. What’s wrong with him; why did he want to toy with me?!”
Lin Xi’er continued sobbing.
Seated in the spicy soup shop, Lin Xi’er was bawling her eyes out opposite Zhuang Nainai. Zhuang Nainai gave a small sigh, then reached out to pat Lin Xi’er’s shoulder. “It’s okay… at least nothing happened to you.”
Lin Xi’er’s arm had been slightly dislocated by the thief, and she had realized it only afterward. Now that she knew, however, she was careful not to strain it, and her arm now hung limply by her side.
Zhuang Nainai said, “It’s better that you make a trip to the hospital.”
Lin Xi’er nodded. “I’ll get Zhang Zhuo to come with me. With your current outfit, it’s better that you go home first.”
