Chapter 18

I Can Give Her Happiness

With his heart full of caution, Chen Che intentionally kept a distance from Han Jiarui.

After all, a woman suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. Who knew what she was up to?

Moreover, it was during the filming of the show. The Internet was already filled with criticism. They could not let others make an issue out of it.

“Young lady, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? I don’t think we know each other, right?” Chen Che was the first to speak up.

Han Jiarui turned around and looked at Chen Che. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Han Jiarui, Lin Xi’s best friend.”

Hearing this, Chen Che heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Lin Xi had a best friend, surname Han, who started a business with her.

Hence he did not doubt the other party’s identity any further.

However, what was Lin Xi’s best friend doing here in the middle of the night?

Just as Chen Che was feeling puzzled, Han Jiarui said coldly, “Do you really like Lin Xi?”

“Of course,” Chen Che answered without hesitation.

Han Jiarui revealed a disdainful smile. “But do you think you’re qualified? Other than embarrassing her, what else can you bring her?”

Chen Che frowned and immediately felt uncomfortable. “I know you look down on me, but I want to tell you that difficulties are only temporary. I will definitely give Lin Xi happiness.”

“Listen to yourself. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Or is happiness just words to you?” Han Jiarui sneered.

“What are you trying to say? You came over at night just to laugh at me?” Chen Che was already a little impatient. If the other party was not Lin Xi’s best friend, he would have told her off long ago.

He couldn’t retaliate against Internet trolls, but in reality, who could stand someone speaking rudely after coming up to him?

Besides, it wasn’t that he really didn’t have money. He just needed to endure it for a year.

Ignoring Chen Che’s expression, Han Jiarui said coldly, “Of course I’m not just laughing at you. I’m not that free. I just want you to recognize yourself.”

“You keep saying that you like Lin Xi. If you really like her, if you’re a man, you should retreat and not cause trouble for her.”

Chen Che smiled faintly. “I know very well what I am like, and I don’t need anyone to tell me what to do.”

“I know the comments on the Internet aren’t very pleasant these days, but we’ve chosen to ignore them.”

“Besides, Lin Xi and I have the same thoughts. As long as we’re happy, it’s enough. As for what others think, we don’t care at all.”

Seeing that Chen Che was unmoved, Han Jiarui snorted. “You don’t care? As long as you don’t care? Do you think the trouble I’m talking about is just gossip on the Internet?”

“Do you know how much gossip Lin Xi has endured in reality? Do you know how the people in the company and the entire building look at Lin Xi?”

“Now, because of your actions, Lin Xi has been slandered. Although it’s not ruined, it’s almost there.”

“To be honest, from last night to today, many of the company’s projects have been forced to stop, including a particularly important project overseas.”

“Not only did the company lose a large sum of money, but we don’t know if we can survive this crisis. Do you know how sad Lin Xi was today?!”

“You can be thick-skinned and not care. It doesn’t matter if you lose a delivery job, but can Lin Xi? Have you thought about it?”

After hearing this, Chen Che froze on the spot, unable to say a word.

Suddenly, Chen Che’s heart ached. He felt that he had let Lin Xi down.

When Lin Xi got off work, her eyes were red. It turned out that she had been crying for a long time!

She did not say anything today. Turns out her sweet smile was also forced!

Although he knows that it would cause trouble for Lin Xi, he did not expect it to be so serious.

Not only that, but Chen Che suddenly remembered the conversation in the park. At that time, he felt that Lin Xi was homesick. It was just a joke to say that she was going back to live in the countryside.

But from the looks of it, Lin Xi was preparing for the worst!

Give up on her career or her dreams for love?

How difficult it would be to make this decision!

The more he thought about it, the more it hurt. Chen Che clenched his fists. He really hoped that the system would shorten the payback time. With money, he could make up for everything!

However, this was obviously impossible. No matter what, he had to wait for this year!

Looking at Chen Che’s expression, Han Jiarui sighed. “I’m sorry. These words might have hurt you, but I have to say it.”

“As Lin Xi’s best friend, I know how difficult it was for her to get to where she is today. Therefore, I can’t just stand by and watch.”

“Chen Che, if you like her, then leave her. You two are really not compatible.”

If it was the previous Chen Che, he would have agreed without hesitation. He would definitely not let Lin Xi suffer.

However, the current Chen Che naturally would not. He was a transmigrator and had the support of the Cash Return System. As long as the time was up, everything would be different.

Although a year was not short, it was not long!

Moreover, after his conversation with the uncle, he had already made up his mind.

“Leave. I won’t leave her. I can give her happiness.” Chen Che’s tone was incomparably firm.

Han Jiarui was so angry that she laughed. “Chen Che, are you still a man? Did I say all that for nothing? Do you really want to see her sad? Do you want to see her efforts go to waste?”

Chen Che smiled. “The reason why I can’t leave her is because I’m a man. She won’t be sad, and our efforts won’t be in vain. I said it.”

“Alright, then give me a convincing reason,” Han Jiarui said with a straight face.

“There’s no reason. Believe it or not.” Chen Che spread his hands. Of course, he couldn’t say anything about the system.

Han Jiarui sneered. “Another empty promise? Are you trying to make up for everything by delivering packages?”

“Don’t say anymore. I know you’re doing this for Lin Xi’s good, but I won’t harm her.” After a pause, Chen Che continued, “Moreover, from today’s attitude, Lin Xi has already made her choice. As long as she’s willing to believe me, that’s enough.”

“I’ll say it again. I can give her happiness.”

Chen Che turned around and returned to the self-service hall. His last sentence was very heavy, representing his unwavering determination.

Han Jiarui stomped her feet in anger. “You two stubborn donkeys. I’m really impressed.”

Back in the hall, Chen Che took out his phone and browsed the recruitment website. He understood that the part-time job could not be delayed.

If he wanted to make up for everything in a year, he had to have a lot of financial support!

A beautiful day began again. Chen Che still followed the same routine.

When he arrived at the park, Chen Che was dumbfounded because an auntie was looting before him.

Seeing that the auntie’s bag was already filled with cans, Chen Che was looking forward to it. He thought to himself, “What a pity, what a pity. Looks like I have to wake up early tomorrow.”

Chen Che’s appearance also frightened the auntie. She quickened her pace and kept looking back. She thought that Chen Che was going to snatch the bottle!

After a short daze, Chen Che ran forward and decided to snatch the remaining trash cans.

Seeing this, the auntie could not help but complain, “This young man, is he crazy poor?”
