Chapter 365 - Shen Yuechuan Is on Fire!
The shopping mall in the afternoon was overcrowded.
Shen Yuechuan’s tall height, coupled with his outstanding appearance, made him very eye-catching in the flow of people. Xiao Yunyun noticed that the eyes of every girl who saw him had become brighter.
She really wanted to stick a note in front of and behind Shen Yuechuan, which read: “Never judge a book by its cover, this man is a creep!”
At that time, the girls would not stare at Shen Yuechuan with their eyes; instead they quickly avoided him.
When Xiao Yunyun was happy thinking about it, Shen Yuechuan stopped suddenly, and she almost bumped into his back. Fortunately, she responded quickly and stopped in time.
Shen Yuechuan looked back at Xiao Yunyun to ask, “Where do you live?”
Xiao Yunyun pointed to a high-rise apartment diagonally opposite the shopping plaza. “It’s right there, it’s very close. You don’t need to send me back. I can go back alone.”
Before investigating whether Xiao Yunyun was at work in the obstetrics and gynecology department, Shen Yuechuan had read Xiao Yunyun’s detailed information and remembered that she seemed to live near that place.
“In that case, take care.”
After that, Shen Yuechuan went straight to the parking lot.
During that time, in order to find out what Kang Ruicheng exactly used to threaten the staff who reviewed Lu Enterprises’ finances, he slept no more than four hours a day; at the moment he just wanted to go home and sleep until he couldn’t tell day from night.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t expect for Shen Yuechuan to send her to her building, so she turned back, and walked to the nearby supermarket.
After picking some goods and pushing the shopping cart to the checkout, she found that the cash in her wallet was not enough.
“Ms. Xiao.” Xiao Yunyun was a regular customer to that supermarket, and the cashiers all recognized her, reminding her kindly, “We can now receive payments with mobile wallets.”
Xiao Yunyun still had enough money in her mobile wallet, but… where was her mobile phone?
She flipped inside and out of the bag twice, but she couldn’t find her cell phone. She remembered it clearly that she put it in her bag when she entered the supermarket.
Xiao Yunyun was calm and immediately called the person in charge of the mall, “My phone was stolen in the supermarket. Can you take me to the monitoring room? I want to watch the surveillance video.”
Xiao Yunyun was very familiar with that supermarket. She told the person in charge of the monitoring area where she had been based on what she remembered. The person in charge brought out the video and finally saw that when she was bending over to get the dumplings, a man behind her opened her bag and took her mobile phone.
The pickpocket was very skilled, moved neatly and didn’t make her aware of his actions. He was thin and small, so he would not catch too much attention while walking in a crowd. He was carrying an old canvas bag and wearing a black cap on his head. People could barely see the features except for the outline of his chin.
Xiao Yunyun knew that hope was slim, but she backed up the video and went to the police station to report it.
In such a large city, hundreds of mobile phones and computers were stolen every day. The police asked Xiao Yunyun a few questions in accordance with the process. At the end, he only said, “We will try our best to help you recover your mobile phone. You can go home and wait for our news.”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t feel settled by their attitude. She stopped the police and asked, “How long will you take to find it for me? I… I have something important to me in my phone.”
“This is not certain,” the police officer said, “the surveillance feed did not clearly capture the features of the pickpocket, and you did not have any impressions of him. We find it very difficult. You should buy a new mobile phone first.”
With such explanation, the subtext was actually telling Xiao Yunyun not to have too much hope; the mobile phone could barely be found.
Xiao Yunyun’s calmness finally collapsed. She then squatted down and burst into tears.
The mobile phone was a birthday present that her father bought her when she was celebrating her birthday last year. It was meaningless. The most important thing was that her mobile phone had her last photo taken with her grandma.
Since childhood, her parents had been very strict with her. She basically had no time for herself, and she could not do anything according to her wishes. In her mother’s words, her every move in the future had been arranged by them, she just had to take it step by step like playing chess.
She never wanted such a life, and occasionally resisted. When she was scolded, her grandmother was her safe haven. As long as she ran to her, no one could beat her and scold her, and no one could force her to learn to play the piano and draw—and she could put on her newly bought skate shoes and go skating in the park.
Before she went to City A as an exchange student, her grandmother died, and her last smile was fixed in that photo.
She could lose her mobile wallet, or even all the valuable things around her. Only that photo, it was something she could not lose.
The police officer did not expect Xiao Yunyun to suddenly cry, and he fumbled for a piece of tissue and handed it to her. “Be careful next time and you won’t lose it again.”
“The photo is gone; I have nothing left to lose.” Xiao Yunyun stood up, wiping away her tears; she apologized and turned to leave.
“Wait,” the police officer was probably soft-hearted and handed his mobile phone to Xiao Yunyun, “do you remember your number? Send a text message to your mobile phone and tell that man that you don’t want your mobile phone back, but that photo. If he’s a soft-hearted pickpocket, he might send you the picture.”
“Thank you.”
Xiao Yunyun did it as he said, but the text message was like a stone in the ocean, there was no response at all.
“Maybe he has turned off the phone and can’t receive text messages,” the police said helplessly, “Give me an email address. If I receive a photo, I will send it to you.”
She wrote down the mail address. Xiao Yunyun also used the phone in the bureau to call Su Jianan.
She told her what happened and did not mention that there was something important to her in the phone, but her disappointed voice allowed everything to be seen through.
Su Jianan comforted her, then said, “Stay at the police station and don’t move, I will pick you up. As for the mobile phone, let me see if I can find it.”
Xiao Yunyun hung up, and sat down on the bench in despair. After a while, she saw Shen Yuechuan entering the police station.
As soon as Shen Yuechuan returned to the apartment, she received a call from Lu Boyan, saying that something happened to Xiao Yunyun. As soon as he arrived at the police station, he saw that she was sitting there crestfallen.
He went straight to Xiao Yunyun and laughed at her, “Wasn’t it OK to go back alone? How come the phone was stolen?”
Xiao Yunyun raised her head and glared at Shen Yuechuan. Creep Shen didn’t know what her mood was at the moment so she didn’t want to mess with him.
Her glaring left Shen Yuechuan stunned—if he saw correctly, Xiao Yunyun’s eyes were red because of crying.
“It was just a phone worth thousands of yuan; does she have to be like this?”
Shen Yuechuan caught up with Xiao Yunyun in a few steps and opened the door of the passenger’s seat. “Get in.”
Xiao Yunyun got on the car and didn’t ask Shen Yuechuan where he would take her. She tilted her head and looked out the window. After ten minutes, the car stopped in front of the flagship store of a certain brand of mobile phone. Shen Yuechuan said in a cool voice, “Get off.”
After entering the store, Shen Yuechuan directly asked the store manager to get the latest model, and turned to ask Xiao Yunyun, “What color do you like?”
“…”
“Rose gold? Silver?”
“…” Xiao Yunyun lacked interest, and she didn’t seem to hear what Shen Yuechuan said. Shen Yuechuan chose silver for her.
After paying and leaving the store, Shen Yuechuan handed Xiao Yunyun the bag containing the mobile phone, “Just go and get another phone card.”
When Xiao Yunyun was about to pick up the phone, she suddenly glanced a familiar figure—a thin man carrying an old canvas bag and wearing a black peaked cap on his head.
It was the one who stole her phone!
“Stop!” Xiao Yunyun almost caught up with him subconsciously, and the thief was very alert, so he just started to run.
“Hey! I don’t want the phone anymore, just return the photo to me!” Xiao Yunyun barely exercised, and she started to feel out of breath after running for a few hundred meters, so she could only see him get away.
The thief ignored her and ran away in no time.
Xiao Yunyun sat on the fence of the flowerbed, and secretly cursed.
Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun from a distance—he heard Xiao Xiaoyun’s words clearly, she had almost pleaded just then.
It turned out that Xiao Yunyun was sorely disappointed even though she had the new phone, because the original phone had photos that were important to her.
He thought about it, made a phone call, took a bottle of water from the car and gave it to Xiao Yunyun. “Are you sure that person was the one who stole your cell phone?”
“It’s him. The back is exactly like what I saw in the monitor.” Xiao Yunyun drank some water and asked, “Did you see what he looks like?”
“No.”
In fact, Shen Yuechuan did not need to see what the thief looked like.
Xiao Yunyun did not place any hopes on Shen Yuechuan, so she said nothing, but allowed Shen Yuechuan to send her home.
After arriving home, Xiao Yunyun was not even interested in opening the new cell phone. She lay on the sofa and looked at the ceiling, silently and seriously cursing the person who stole her cell phone. She wished that the phones he had stolen were all models only worthy 5 yuan!
While cursing, Xiao Yunyun fell asleep accidentally, and it was already dark when she woke up. The entire living room was dark and horrible; occasionally, a cold wind blew from the balcony, which made the room even creepier.
Living alone, the scariest thing for Xiao Yunyun was the sudden and strange weirdness. Xiao Yunyun got up and turned on the chandelier in the living room; she heard the doorbell ring right after.
But… was she awakened by the doorbell?
It was so late, who would come to visit?
She walked to the door and looked at the monitor display; Xiao Yunyun saw Shen Yuechuan, which was absolutely out of her expectation.
She pressed the talk button and said, “Creep Shen, why did you come to my house? You’re not a resident here, how did you come all the way up?” There were two entrance doors in the apartment, one for the gate and one for the elevator, and Shen Yuechuan actually passed all of them?
Regarding the “new” title of “Creep Shen”, Shen Yuechuan chose not to care about it and said, “Your lobby security guard brought me up. Open the door, I have something for you.”
Xiao Yunyun opened the door curiously, only to see how Shen Yuechuan’s hand lifted and something flew towards her; she caught it subconsciously and couldn’t believe her eyes at all.
It was her lost phone!
Shen Yuechuan helped her find it!
She looked at Shen Yuechuan in wonder. “How did you do it?”
Shen Yuechuan shrugged, pretending to be mysterious, but thinking that he could call out the entire office to tie her up, Xiao Yunyun suddenly felt that he would be able to get the phone back from the thief.
“No matter how you did it.” Xiao Yunyun had never been as sincere. “Thank you.”
“Just take it as an apology for tying you up,” Shen Yuechuan said, “The phone hasn’t been restored. Your original things should still be there. Check it out.”
Xiao Yunyun entered the password to unlock the phone. The last picture with Grandma was still there, and she was in a good mood. “I’ll buy you dinner!”
Shen Yuechuan looked at the time. “Next time, I have something to do with your brother-in-law.”
After finishing speaking, Shen Yuechuan entered the elevator and left. Xiao Yunyun remembered how he had just thrown the mobile phone just then—
The more she thought about it, the more handsome he was!
