As soon as the teddy bear was thrown away, Jian Dan drove away without a word. Chen You wandered around outside for a while and eventually got beef noodle soup for dinner. He hummed happily as he ate with his chopsticks. When he was done, he went home to sleep.
Chen You didn’t know how Xu Ling had learned that he joined Mingrui, but a few days later Xu Ling brought goods to the warehouse. She came over under the pretense of delivering gloves.
Chen You was sincerely at the end of his rope.
To bicker and fight would definitely be impossible. Since the person is a girl, he couldn’t do that. In fact, no matter what, she still held an overwhelming sense of superiority over him.
Break up? It’s impossible. I know that in your heart you don’t want to, because you clearly know that you won’t be able to find someone who matches my conditions.
This was a piece of information Chen You could glean from Xu Ling’s demeanor. There were some benefits to reading more books about microexpressions.
Xu Ling swept a strand of curly hair behind her ear, “Ah-Sheng, did you give the teddy bear to President Jian when you saw him last time?”
Chen You said “I handed it over.” Then it was thrown into a trash can, and the boss left without any expression. So far, Jian Dan hadn’t looked for him again.
The bear was probably taken away by someone who picks up bottles or some street sweeper, was brought into a small family that was not rich but very warm, and ultimately became a small member of it.
Xu Ling was silent for a moment and then said, “Ah-Sheng, I suppose it’s clear that we aren’t suitable.”
Chen You was about to cry with joy. Great! Sister, you’ve finally figured it out! So let’s just happily break up, okay?
The next moment, he heard Xu Ling whisper softly, “I know you still love me.”
Chen You had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Xu Ling raised her head and sighed, “My heart is very chaotic these days. You don’t call me as often as before. I want to call you, but I don’t seem to have anything to say.”
Chen You said “Look me in the eyes.”
Xu Ling looked at him and chuckled, “Ah-Sheng, what are you doing?”
With a smile, the atmosphere was gone. Chen You hesitated but finally made up his mind. He whispered, “Xu Ling, I’ve fallen in love with someone else.”
The smile on Xu Ling’s face froze, “What did you say?”
Chen You was poor with words. Although he was a basic human being, he just couldn’t watch girls cry. This stemmed from some childhood trauma.
“Ah-Sheng, you’re not right these days.”
Xu Ling’s face was cold and her eyes were slightly red. “First, we came to an agreement to sell the house. I contacted an intermediary for you. Later, you suddenly said something about a dream of your grandfather making a request for you to not sell it. Then, you told me that you wet the bed and your kidneys aren’t good. After that, you wanted to break up with me and now you say you like someone else.”
Chen You couldn’t squeeze out a word for the longest time, “You deserve better.” Don’t try to go around me, this gay. And don’t expect me to hook you up with the boss. He’s mine.
Xu Ling swore, “I didn’t think you were this kind of person, I was mistaken!”
Chen You thought of these obscenities as farts and just let them go. This time, it’s really over Sister. I beg you, don’t mess with me, OK? I just want to finish the task well.
Xu Ling said coldly, “I want to know, who is the third party?”
Chen You’s unintentional sweeping gaze stopped not far away. Jian Dan stood there with one hand in his pocket and a cigarette in his other, carelessly looking in his direction.
Xu Ling also looked over and her face changed, “Boss Jian.”
Jian Dan joked, “You young people have so much energy that you still meet up for a date at work.”
Xu Ling stuck out her lower lip. “I’m finished with Gu Sheng.”

Seeing that the man was looking at him, Chen You’s face showed an indescribable emotion.

Chen You, “…”
A smile appeared in Jian Dan’s eyes, “Just kidding, don’t take it seriously.”
He took two steps and looked down at the young man. He slowed down the intonation of his voice, heavy with implied meaning, “You are much more adorable than she is.”
Chen You said angrily, “Is this also a joke?”
Jian Dan said, “No.”
Hehe. I’d like to send in one word of evaluation – psychopath.
He didn’t know what the trigger was, but just as he rolled his eyes, Jian Dan began to laugh. His appearance was absolutely high-level. With such a smile, he was very charming. But in Chen You’s eyes, it was no different than a neurotic expression.
Chen You’s face blackened with question marks.
After a few seconds, Jian Dan stopped laughing and said gently, “How has your job in the warehouse been?”
Chen You gestured that he didn’t want to discuss the details, “It’s okay.”
Jian Dan snuffed out the cigarette. “Work hard.”
Then he left with a graceful receding figure.
Chen You was speechless. I thought you would kabedon me like a president, and then say gently and domineeringly: “Now I’ll give you a chance to be stolen away by me. We can talk about it after you think it over.”
Ah, psychopaths don’t play their cards according to common sense.
After that day, Chen You didn’t see Xu Ling again. They broke it off completely. He didn’t want to call her, in order to not pull out any more flowers, and the other party didn’t call either. He brushed up on the newspaper every day, scared that he would see a nameless woman’s corpse and additional information appear elsewhere.
On Friday afternoons, Chen You took the opportunity to slip out the company’s entrance and notice Jian Dan’s car leaving work. He didn’t pay attention the first two times, but later he specially recorded that Jian Dan left around two o’clock each time.
Based on his knowledge of the city he grew up in, from the Mingrui’s address to the car dealership in Dongcheng District, Jian Dan would arrive a little before and no later than three o’clock.
Chen You couldn’t wrap his mind around why Jian Dan chose to go to the car dealership at that time. What was his purpose, who was he waiting for, and what was the commemorative significance of this date and time?
As the boss of a big company, he was very persistent in obtaining these old-fashioned parts of bicycles. Although Chen You couldn’t understand it, it wasn’t unusual. Since wealthy people have a lot of money, it’s normal to have some strange collections.
God knows what their hearts are like.
In any case, Jian Dan was not a suspect unless there was hard evidence.
Chen You couldn’t rashly follow his trail anymore because he noticed that someone was monitoring him. This person should have been sent by Jian Dan. Now, the only thing he could safely do was move goods in the warehouse and follow the chain of command.
One afternoon, after a rainstorm, Zheng Ze appeared in front of Chen You intent on inviting him for dinner.
Chen You followed his heart and went to the restaurant.
He was probably too cautious, his nerve endings were too taut and he wasn’t watching his brain to mouth filter well enough. Without thinking, he asked, “Aren’t you allergic to peanuts?”
Zheng Ze looked up with a strange expression, “Xiao Gu, how did you know I’m allergic to peanuts?”
Chen You’s brain was running a million miles per hour, “It’s senior, he talks in his sleep.”
Zheng Ze looked incredulous, “Does he talk in his sleep? I slept with him quite a few times and didn’t notice it once.”
Chen You face palmed. Older cousin, these words are very easy to misunderstand.
When the dishes were about to be served, Zheng Ze answered a phone call, “Old Jian, ah, Xiao Gu and I are having dinner at XXX. Are you nearby? Come over then. I’ll share some of the food with you. Okay.”
As soon as the phone hung up, he said to himself, “Well, I wanted to discuss it alone, but doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen.”
Chen You thought, Of course not. Jian Dan won’t be rest assured if we have a conversation together. He doesn’t trust either of us.
In less than ten minutes, Jian Dan arrived.
As soon as he sat down at the table, Zheng Ze didn’t look directly at Chen You again. Every now and then he’d just explore the undercurrent with his sharp gaze.
Chen You was responsible for eliminating the delicious food while Jian Dan and Zheng Ze made small talk.
The better their relationship was, the more distressed Chen You felt for his older cousin. You say you’re struggling to investigate the case, but the culprit is right by your side. It’d be a bolt from the blue to discover that the person involved in this matter is actually the brother you’ve trusted for so many years.
The good atmosphere at the table disappeared when Chen You came back from using the bathroom.
He wore a pair of blue sneakers today. The style was relatively retro, like an old design from two decades ago. This was the best maintained pair of shoes in the original’s shoe cabinet, and the price definitely wasn’t cheap.
Chen You was unsure of what was going on. Jian Dan stared at his shoes, seeming very upset, and even angry.
Chen You froze in place and asked the system nervously, “What’s the matter? Tell me, did my sneakers knock into Jian Dan at some point?”
The system was powerless, “I don’t have any information on the target.”
Chen You couldn’t count on the system. He looked down at his shoes. Were the laces asymmetrical or was it the color of the shoes? It shouldn’t be because it was tied in a bow tie, right?
Zheng Ze caught sight of Jian Dan’s eyes falling on the youth’s shoes, “Where did Xiao Gu buy those sneakers? Is such an old style still being sold?”
He clicked his tongue, “I really don’t understand the current fashion trends. My mother has a similar shirt to the ones models are currently wearing in fashion magazines, but it’s been hanging in the closet for decades…”
Jian Dan suddenly stood up, “I’m going out for a cigarette.”
Chen You took the opportunity to go to the nearest shoe store and bought a new pair to wear. When Zheng Ze asked about it, he answered that the sneakers were worn out and not comfortable to wear.
By the time Jian Dan came back, the food was cold. He smelled heavily of smoke but his expression was normal.
Chen You quickly put his feet out to show him the new shoes.
Jian Dan lifted his eyes and smiled, “Hmm? What did I miss when I went out to smoke a cigarette?”
Zheng Ze spoke before Chen You, “Are you sure you just smoked one cigarette?”
Jian Dan shrugged. “I have an addiction.”
“Smoke less, do you still want your lungs?” Zheng Ze said, “I have something to attend to back at the police station. Xiao Gu, you should go to the hospital to have a CT scan.”
Jian Dan looked at the youth and asked why he’d thought to buy shoes while out to dinner.
Chen You repeated his answer.
Jian Dan glanced down, “This pair is nice.”
At that moment, as Chen You picked up his backpack, the bear pendant hanging on the zipper swayed from side to side with this action. It was very eye-catching.
Jian Dan asked, “Is that from your ex-girlfriend?”
“No,” Chen You replied, “When I was shopping it was given to me as a promotion.”
Without saying a word, Jian Dan stretched out his hand, took the bear pendant off and held it in front of him. “It’s lovely. I want it.”
Chen You’s toes habitually tapped the ground. You know, this is what Laozi looked for, going through one street after another, and almost broke his back to buy for you.
The little bear was wearing a black western suit, a gentleman’s top hat, and a tie around his neck. Every detail was exquisite. It wasn’t cheap and looked very beautiful.
If it was given out during an event, the storekeeper must be giving away money because their head was jammed in the doorway.
Jian Dan was unlikely to miss it.
Chen You put in so much effort in order to convince Jian Dan that he’s a straight man with a different mindset, one who isn’t bent yet.
This situation was self-inflicted. No one broke him back then, he bent himself.
Jian Dan’s mood improved. He took a meaningful look at the young man and put the bear pendant in his trouser’s pocket. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back.”
Chen You put on his backpack and followed.
He was about to get in the car when Jian Dan asked him to sit up front. He didn’t say anything else so Chen You obeyed.
The car was filled with the smell of heated leather, which was quite unpleasant. Chen You had just had a full meal and his stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.
Jian Dan said, “Fasten your seatbelt.”
Chen You buckled up, put his backpack in his lap and held on to it. He looked forward, unquestionably well-behaved.
Jian Dan added, “Give me the bag.”
Before Chen You could say anything, the bag was taken away and placed in the back seat. There was nothing left on his legs. The cool air conditioning began to seep through his pants, lingering over his pores and burrowing in.
He couldn’t adjust to it. He kept feeling like Jian Dan was looking at him.
The car merged into traffic. Jian Dan paid attention to the road conditions as he drove, “You can’t remember what happened in February?”
Chen You shook his head.
Jian Dan said, “At the end of this month, I’m going on a business trip abroad. Come with me, I’ll take you to an old friend. He’s an expert neurologist. Maybe he can help you.”
After swallowing his saliva, Chen You said quickly, “I don’t want to trouble Senior.”
“How can this be troublesome?” Jian Dan turned the steering wheel and said, “I am your boss and your senior. Besides, if you recover your memory earlier, you’ll be able to give Zheng Ze some clues to help solve the case as soon as possible.”
Chen You broke out in a cold sweat. In order to protect himself, he could only play along with him. “Alright.”
The car was silent for ten minutes, but Chen You’s expression wasn’t right, “Senior, can you let me out over there?”
Jian Dan said, “It’s illegal to park here.”
He tilted his head and said, concerned, “Why are you sweating and looking unwell?”
Chen You responded awkwardly, “I have to use the restroom.”
“Hold on a little longer.” Jian Dan retracted his gaze and displayed his attentiveness, “When I get to a parking place, I’ll let you out.”
“There should be one ahead.”
Chen You pursed his mouth and leaned his head against the window as he grinded his teeth. Fuck you, you huge psychopath! Laozi’s already seen through you!
He didn’t know how long it had been, but the car was still driving and there was no sign that it was going to stop. Chen You died as his legs began to tremble, “Senior, I’m about to die, I can’t hold it in anymore…”
The rest of the sentence hadn’t been completed yet when his pants turned hot. He had gone.
Haha.
FireFoxWinterWolf: *dry laughter* Haha, Jian Dan are you sure you’re taking him to get help and not using it as an excuse to lock him in a small black room
FireFoxWinterWolf: You know, I really have to sympathize with Chen You this arc. Between this and the target being triggered by a random pair of shoes of all things, he’s got it rough.
Thanks for the update~
This is the only story I’ve read with an MC who has urinary incontinence, and it is very funny.
My poor baby he got it though, lol he really night lock him in a black room.
Whole story, every arc, unforgettable uniquenesses😂😝
Thanks for the chapter ~
😂 jian Dan was probably jelly cause the shoes were from his ex.
I wouldn’t be surprised if ML broke into CY’s house to burn all the things that had something to do with his (CY’s) ex…
thank you for the chapter!
MC is too pitiful always peeing his pants😂
Thanks for the chapter <3
“The bear was probably taken away by someone who picks up bottles or some street sweeper, was brought into a small family that was not rich but very warm, and ultimately became a small member of it.”
such a rich brain you have, surnamed Chen.
The “Haha” at the last…
I just want to say…
-haha
🙂
Thanks for theeee chapterrrr 💕💕💕
My poor treasure peed his pants again.
I don’t know being reincarnated might be the better option than suffering through all these things yikes
It kind of reminds me of “Aft er the full-level boss entered the infinite game by mistake” novel. The author of that novel is also into very kinky plays (tentacles, ice cubes, underwater, two pendants…) 😭
I can’t say that I understand everything, but do I enjoy it anyways? Yes.
