Chapter 34
The Car Broke Down
“Oh right, I left in a hurry that night, so I didn’t ask for your name. I’m Yin Xun, what’s yours?” She wanted to see what her neighbor’s name was and if he had appeared in the novel before. What if he was an important character?
“Fang Yao.”
“Fang Yao…” Yin Xun repeated his name. Then, Fang Yao’s eyes lit up as Yin Xun looked at him. She stared at him unblinkingly, as if… she was looking at her prey?
Yin Xun kept staring at him, and Fang Yao felt a chill down his spine.
“We’ll be neighbors from now on, so please take care of me. If you’re willing, you can come to my house anytime. I’ll treat you to a meal!” Yin Xun spoke to him warmly, but she realized that she was being overly enthusiastic. She then added, “Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person!”
Fang Yao was speechless.
This feeling was really strange. Why did he feel that Yin Xun’s current appearance was especially like that of a human trafficker who abducted and sold children? She said she was not a bad person, but it seemed that only bad people would emphasize that they were not bad people, right?
“I’ll go in first. Call me if you need anything.”
Fang Yao looked up. Without waiting for him to speak, Yin Xun walked into the club after saying this. Just like the last time she left, she did not give him a chance to speak.
After Yin Xun entered the club, Fang Yao took out his phone and made a call.
“You don’t have to come and pick me up if the car has broken down.” Fang Yao said indifferently.
“Huh?” the driver was confused. “But I’m in the parking lot.”
“No, the car broke down. You should go back and fix it.” Fang Yao said insistently.
The driver was very confused, but he just had to follow his orders. If the boss wanted him to go back and repair the car, then he would do it.
“Alright, I’ll go repair the car.” After the driver hung up the phone, he drove directly to the repair shop.
Alright, now that there was no car, he had a reason to hitch a ride from Yin Xun. Actually, getting a free ride was just an excuse. He mainly wanted to understand Yin Xun. After all, this was the first time he had seen a girl using a telescope to peep at her male neighbors the moment she moved in. What he was most curious about was why Yin Xun was so… uh… excited when he heard his name.
Indeed, after hearing the name Fang Yao, Yin Xun was really excited. This was because she did not see this character when she was reading the novel. In other words, Fang Yao was a completely new character.
A new character would appear around her, which meant that her story line had already begun. In general, there were only two possibilities for a new character to appear in a story. One was to be a tool for the relationship or career development of the male and female protagonists. The other was a major character, a mysterious person hidden in the background of the story. Such people were usually just a background character in the novel. There could not be too much focus on them, or the focus on the male protagonist would not be able to develop.
Fang Yao was obviously not a prop, because the only person he had interacted with was Yin Xun. He did not know Yin Mo. It was obvious that Fang Yao belonged to the latter category, the powerful background.
Yin Xun had never heard of this person before. It seemed that when she returned home, she would have to find out from Yin Cheng what Fang Yao’s identity was. Back then, in order to quickly understand this world, she had investigated a lot of famous big shots, but she did not find the name Fang Yao. Since she could not find anything online, she would ask Yin Cheng.
Would novels not usually have this kind of setting? The truly powerful people were hidden in the deepest part of the world. They usually kept it a secret very well, and no one outside knew their identity. Perhaps Fang Yao was such a person?
Her neighbor was a hidden big shot. This was a good thing that fell from the sky. She had to grasp this opportunity tightly. She could not let the big shot… Oh no, the big shot… fly away from her!
When Yin Xun returned to the banquet hall, Si Fan was talking to Xing Cheng. Yin Xun only glanced at them before walking to the side. She waited quietly by herself. She wanted everyone to ignore her.
It was a pity that the more she hated something, the more it would happen. After Yin Mo saw Yin Xun come in, she pulled Si Fan over to talk.
“Sister, Si Fan wants to treat you to dinner tonight. Including Xing Cheng, it’ll just be the four of us. What do you think?” Yin Mo asked obediently.
“What’s so good about eating out? If you want to eat together, then let him come to our house.” Yin Xun glanced at Si Fan indifferently and rejected him without any politeness.
Yin Mo stood there awkwardly and did not know what to say.
Xing Cheng’s skin was rather thick. He was rendered speechless by Yin Xun’s refusal just now, but he was still not giving up at this moment. She walked over with two glasses of red wine in her hands, planning to continue to woo Yin Xun. This was the first time he had met a girl who was so stubborn that even he could not handle her.
