Colleague?
Shen Yu thought that he had heard wrong. He stopped before getting into the car. Shen Yu looked into Zhou Che’s eyes and asked, “Where does this colleague just come from?”
Zhou Che was stupefied. A colleague is a colleague.
What was with his question, ‘where does this colleague come from?’.
Just when Zhou Che had trouble thinking of an explanation, a call that was linked via Bluetooth in the car was connected. Tang Li’s cold voice came out from the stereo.
“Shen Yu?”
“Chestnut.” Shen Yu was both surprised and pleased, he was so excited that his voice’s tone changed, “Where are you now?”
“I’m at home.” Tang Li said.
“What home?” Shen Yu was slightly at a loss, he didn’t understand what Tang Li meant, “I’m at home, but I don’t see you.”
“It’s not the Shen family’s…” Tang Li vaguely said as if he didn’t want to have that discussion with Shen Yu. He soon changed the topic without batting an eye, “Just follow Zhou Che. He will bring you to see me.”
Zhou Che hurriedly pointed to himself, “I am Zhou Che!”
“Oh, okay…” Shen Yu said dryly.
After hanging up, Shen Yu sat in the car and fastened his seat belt without saying a word.
Seeing that Shen Yu was silent, Zhou Che pursed his lips. He started the car and drove along the road that’s as twisty as sheep’s intestine [1] toward the gate of the villa. It had to be said that Zhou Che was quite familiar with the terrain here.
{TN: [1] 羊肠小道/yángchángxiǎodào is an idiom means narrow and winding road}
It had to be said that Zhou Che was very familiar with the terrain here.
It was already eight o’clock in the evening. The night was dark and the only lights present were the street lamps that emitted a dim yellow glow. However, it was not enough for people to distinguish that the road ahead was basically the same.
Even Shen Yu, who had lived here nearly seven years felt the scenery outside was very strange.
When they were getting closer the security pavilion near the villa’s gate, Shen Yu was surprised. He turned and asked Zhou Che, “Do you live here?”
“Even if I want to live here, I can’t even afford it…” Zhou Che laughed at himself, “I’ve been around here for two days. It is not easy to get a clear scope of the environment in this area. Also, I’m afraid that if there would be a situation where we would get lost, brother Li won’t be able to let it go and scold me to death.”
Shen Yu couldn’t help but chuckle.
Zhou Che laughed too.
“I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to call him, Brother [2] Li. Chestnut is much younger than you.” Shen Yu said.
{TN: [2] 哥/gē means elder brother. I forgot to mention this in the chapter before. Zhou Che actually call Tang Li, Big brother Li or Li Ge}
“I just found out about it too.” Zhou Che smiled wryly, “I had guessed that Brother Li used a voice changer when he was talking to us. I had thought Brother Li was older, but I didn’t expect him to actually be so young. No wonder he used a voice changer.”
Young and unconvincing.
A lot of people would’ve understood this reason.
Speaking of this, Shen Yu was a little curious, “By the way, you said you are colleagues. What is your job?”
Zhou Che was silent for a moment and a smile was fixed on his face.
He was not stupid. From the conversation between Tang Li and Shen Yu earlier, it can be found that Tang Li has been hiding a lot of things from Shen Yu. However, he wasn’t sure if these things were also included in Tang Li’s work.
But, just to be on the safe side, it was better to keep it as a secret.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Shen. It’s not convenient for me to tell you.” Zhou Che decided to be honest, “If you really want to know. Please ask Brother Li. He would tell you.”
Shen Yu shut his mouth, “…Alright. “
Once they left the neighborhood, the car drove into the traffic flow without any delay. After half an hour, Zhou Che stopped the car.
“Here we are.”
“Thank you.” Shen Yu said, opening the car door and getting off.
What entered his sight was the surface of a tranquil, still lake. The night sky was dotted with stars as well as the glow of the silver moonlight, he staggered forward by two steps and held onto a tree that was on his right.
Fortunately, it was not too cold on this summer night. The cool breeze blew on his face, carrying the smell of the lake.
The rear lights of the car flashed twice before it quickly fell into the thick night. Zhou Che seemed invisible, without any trace of his existence, he was sitting quietly in the car.
Shen Yu looked around and didn’t see Tang Li, not even his silhouette. He was a little disappointed. He was ready to go back in the car and ask Zhou Che.
