From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 34 Kyoto's Most Affectionate
Chen Qiye nodded: "It's me."

Fan Sizhe raised his hand and shook it, pointing at him: "You you you...you kid..."

After you talked for a long time without making any sense, you stood up and ran to the door and looked for a long time, then ran back and continued pointing at Chen Qiye with a smile that said, "I see through you."

"I said that the way you looked at my sister that day was not right. Tell me, do you want to see my sister?"

Chen Qiye didn't expect this guy to have such a way of thinking. This isn't the right attitude when meeting a stranger, right?
But he continued to act anyway, looking shy and embarrassed as if his thoughts had been exposed.

"Haha... Well, Master Sizhe misunderstood. I just came here today to see if there are any updates to Red Mansions, and to buy a load of books to send back to my servants to support Master Sizhe's business."

This was a very clever way of saying it, as it was aimed squarely at what Fan Sizhe was most interested in. Even though Fan Sizhe had been skeptical before, Chen Qiye believed that saying this would help bring them closer.

Sure enough, when Fan Sizhe heard this, his eyes lit up and he reached out and patted Chen Qiye on the shoulder.

"You're quite sensible. We agreed to buy a whole car, and you can't buy one less."

As the son of the Minister of Revenue, Si Nanbo Fan Jian, he naturally could not be short of this little money, but Fan Sizhe liked the process of making money, so Chen Qiye's move was very much to his liking.

Pulling Chen Qiye aside, he said, "In fact, including this time, we have only met twice in total, and this is only the first time we talked, but I have discovered that you are much smarter than those other idiots who are pursuing my sister."

"Of course, the main reason why I value you is because you are my sister's savior. Our Fan family is not ungrateful, so we must be polite to our benefactors."

Chen Qiye nodded, feeling a little surprised. It seemed that Fan Sizhe didn't have a weird way of thinking, but was actually very clear-headed.

"Also, you and Teng Zijing know each other, right?"

"We drank together."

"Well, have you heard about his situation?"

Chen Qiye nodded: "I heard about it."

Fan Sizhe sighed and said, "Fan Xian seems to like his bodyguard very much. No, it should be said that he is a friend."

"Since Fan Xian likes him so much, then this person must be good. You know him, so he should be a good person too."

"When you saved my sister that day, your kung fu was much better than Teng Zijing's. How about you be my bodyguard?"

"Ahem... Never mind. Chen is not short of money for the time being."

Fan Sizhe was stunned: "Yes, I almost forgot that you are a young master with your style, so we can't reach an agreement on this."

"That's a pity. I was really envious of Fan Xian because he has such good kung fu and can be a bodyguard for his friends."

Chen Qiye cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I'd love to be Miss Ruoruo's bodyguard."

Upon hearing this, Fan Sizhe immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "Boy, your thoughts are too obvious!"

When dealing with funny people, sometimes as long as the idea is right, there will be unexpected results.

Chen Qiye raised his hand and saluted, saying, "To be honest, although my hometown is remote, I have often heard of Miss Ruoruo's name as a talented woman thousands of miles away, and I admire her even more in my heart."

"I came to Beijing this time hoping to make friends with Miss Ruoruo, but I am too lowly to enter the Fan Mansion. Today, I passed by Danbo and learned that Master Sizhe was here. In addition to my admiration for Master Sizhe's business talent, I also have an unwelcome request. I hope Master Sizhe can introduce Miss Ruoruo to me. Even if I can only admire Miss Ruoruo's talent from afar, it is not worth it for me to live or die."

Chen Qiye's words were so passionate and affectionate that the fool Fan Sizhe was stunned by him.

She shook her head and patted his shoulder sympathetically: "I didn't expect you already knew my sister. No wonder you ran over to save her like crazy when my sister got into an accident that day."

"My sister has so many admirers in Kyoto, including some as prominent as Prince Jing. But after hearing what you said just now, I feel that if we talk about who admires my sister more, none of them can compare to you."

Chen Qiye touched his chest lovingly and shook his head.

"Everything Chen said came from his heart. I have no intention of comparing myself with others. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Miss Ruoruo." Fan Sizhe's eyes turned red in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and clapped his hands.

"Okay, I will definitely help you with this matter."

Chen Qiye added, "Master Sizhe, I just want to get to know Miss Ruoruo. I hope you won't use the fact that I saved your life as an excuse. I don't want Miss Ruoruo to agree to get to know me out of gratitude."

Fan Sizhe nodded heavily: "Don't worry, it's okay."

"Well, tomorrow I will invite my sister to the same restaurant where we went last time to relax, the same restaurant where you saved my sister."

"You can reserve a table of food and drinks there in advance. When we arrive, pretend to meet by chance and invite us to have a drink together. Then I will immediately pull my sister over."

Chen Qiye swallowed his saliva and wanted to give him a 666 on the spot.

He clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, Master Sizhe."

"Oh, you're welcome."

"By the way, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name. Chen what?"

"Chen Qiye."

Fan Sizhe nodded slightly: "Well, Chen Qiye, okay, let's do this."

"Then I will not bother you, Master Sizhe, and will visit you another day."

Fan Sizhe waved his hand: "See you tomorrow."

When Chen Qiye walked to the door, Fan Sizhe suddenly reminded him, "Oh, by the way, don't forget the cart of books."

After that, he started to count the accounts: "Hey, a cart of books, I made a lot of money again."

Chen Qiye: “…”

He left Danbo Bookstore with a strange mood. He came out empty-handed, but when he returned, he had a carriage behind him. He alone accounted for a month's sales of Danbo Bookstore. This cost of picking up girls is a bit high.

Arriving at the door of the house, Chen Qiye pointed inside and said, "Please help me move the books in."

"Of course, of course. Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."

The people in charge of transportation nodded repeatedly. This was a big customer. Young Master Sizhe had said that they should be polite to big customers. Moreover, apart from his identity as a big customer, this Mr. Chen seemed to have a very good relationship with Young Master Sizhe.

The two chatted upstairs for most of the day, and they became more respectful to Chen Qiye.

Ye Xiaoling looked at the young master strangely as he and some people came in carrying a few boxes, and asked, "Young master, what did you buy when you went out? Why so many?"

"Red Mansion."

"Red Mansion?"

Ye Xiaoling had heard about it, so she went forward and had someone open the box. She saw a box full of Dream of the Red Chamber, no, several boxes, and she was even more confused.

"Master, even if you like reading books recently, why do you buy so many?"

"And they are all the same, no new chapters have been updated."

Chen Qiye flicked her forehead and said, "You talk too much. I have my reasons for doing things."
