Soul Patch

Chapter 31 Kawasaki Motorcycles

"Grandma, where did you go partying last night?"

Yang Shanshan arrived at work and had just turned on her phone after charging it when Huang Weiwei called.

Huang Weiwei always speaks so... boldly!

Startled, Yang Shanshan looked around awkwardly, only relaxing when she saw that her colleagues weren't looking in her direction.

She had no choice but to cover her mouth with the phone and whisper, "Could you please keep your voice down? I'm at work!"

"Oh... okay, okay." Huang Weiwei was still nestled in her soft bed.

Unless there's something special, she won't leave the house before ten o'clock. Even if she wakes up early, she'll stay comfortably in bed.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep my voice down," Huang Weiwei obediently replied. "Tell me quickly, how was yesterday?"

……

"Huh?! Oh...oh...I get it! She slept at his place! You stupid woman! Who was it that cried and told me yesterday that you didn't understand? You have no idea how much effort it took for her to find out his address! She even sent screenshots..."

Huang smiled and rolled onto the bed.

After hanging up the phone, she stretched, jumped out of bed, and ran to the wardrobe, rummaging through it.

Shorts, skirts, tank tops, crop tops, ripped jeans, hip-hop style, studded outfits...

Why aren't there any decent-looking clothes?

Don't skirts go past the knee?

Don't clothes cover the navel?

The handsome figure next to the coffee machine in the bakery flashed through her mind. No, no, the girl-next-door type is the type of boy she likes.

Huang Weiwei put on her delinquent outfit and left home, heading straight for the nearest shopping mall.

She picked out an outfit at the E-land store: a blue knee-length skirt, a white short-sleeved shirt, paired with white sneakers and white ankle socks... and transformed into a vibrant and energetic campus girl.

Surprisingly, this school uniform suited her perfectly. The sales assistant was full of praise for Huang Weiwei as she tried on the clothes and recommended matching hair accessories, bracelets, and other small accessories.

Huang Weiwei wore the outfit directly to the bakery. She noticed a motorcycle parked across the entrance, right in her parking spot.

She honked the car horn a few times, and the store supervisor quickly came out to check and then returned to the store.

Huang Weiwei saw through the shop window that the manager entered the store, put his hands on his hips, and yell at everyone.

Hehe... Huang Weiwei stared at the motorcycle with great interest.

This must be Jia Nan's motorcycle!

There are no customers in the store right now, so the motorcycle must belong to the store employee.

He was the only new employee at the store; he had just been hired yesterday, and today his motorcycle was lying there blocking the way.

Wow, this motorcycle is really cool! The entire body is covered in a matte black paint, with a streamlined design, an outward-flaring design for the stainless steel wheel hubs, and a handlebar and seat design that conforms to the human body's physiological curves... What brand are these again? Huang Weiwei tapped her head.

These are all design highlights of a famous motorcycle brand, which she had heard Huang Dongheng mention before.

Huang Weiwei was still unconvinced and retorted, "It has to be a Harley!"

"What does this little girl know? Motorcycles aren't just about the brand. Motorcycle enthusiasts pay more attention to the motorcycle's cost-effectiveness and overall performance! That motorcycle is incredibly cool, like a Transformer, with its flared wheels and axle design that makes it look like it could transform at any moment!"

Huang squinted, staring at the brand logo, KAWASAKI, painted on the motorcycle with a tilted laser.

Oh! Kawasaki, Jia Nan's motorcycle is a Kawasaki.

A familiar, elegant figure appeared in Huang Weiwei's line of sight.

It really was Jia Nan.

Jia Nan walked out unhurriedly and glanced at the red Ma Liu.

Huang Weiwei sat in the driver's seat, meeting Jia Nan's gaze defiantly through the windshield.

When Jia Nan met Huang Weiwei's bright eyes, she was clearly taken aback.

He quickly looked away, strode confidently over his shoulder, slung his long legs over his shoulder, and roared into the engine! Roar! Roar! Roar again!

hum!hum!hum!

Jia Nan drove the motorcycle away.

Huang Weiwei promptly parked her car across the parking space.

Hmph! Is this some kind of oil blasting protest?

Huang Weiwei entered the bakery, and the supervisor and staff stared at her in astonishment, seemingly never stopping.

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a car parked sideways before?

Oh... look at her school uniform!

Huang Weiwei walked confidently to the sofa and sat down.

"A cappuccino, please!"

Without even glancing at the coffee machine, she gave the order directly.

Jia Nan parked the car and went inside.

As soon as he entered, he felt several eyes staring at him. He couldn't help but look at Huang Weiwei, then at the supervisor and other colleagues.

Just as the supervisor was about to speak, Huang Weiwei interrupted him with a gesture.

"Being absent from the store during working hours will be recorded as one instance of absenteeism."

Jia Nan just smiled and didn't look at Huang Weiwei.

Huang Weiwei looked down at her school uniform and felt like she had punched a piece of cotton.

“Cappuccino!” she said to Jia Nan, tilting her chin.

Her mood gradually improved as she watched Jia Nan start making her coffee.

……

When Wenjie arrived at the office, no one else was there yet. He opened his drawer to find the report he had prepared the day before yesterday afternoon.

But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find it.

That's strange, I clearly put it in the drawer.

I casually turned on my computer and saw that the top news in the M City police system was the latest developments in the Qin Fen drowning case.

The M City Police Department has consolidated the cases of people jumping into the river over the past few years and is monitoring the artificial lake in the Canal Forest Park to prevent similar incidents from happening again. They are also appealing to the public to provide clues.

Officer Cao's side is really quick on the uptake! What's the purpose of this massive publicity?

The comment section below this news article exploded with all sorts of opinions.

Some say that the social atmosphere is too bad now, and the personal safety of citizens cannot be guaranteed.

Some parents are worried that their children will be affected and hope that the police will come up with an effective prevention and control plan.

Among the many comments, a few stood out as particularly offensive.

It was because someone accused Professor Liang Bin of betraying his marriage that his wife, Qin Fen, committed suicide by drowning.

Several accounts below this post are condemning it, calling it a mad dog biting people indiscriminately, saying that people who don't know the situation have no right to speak, and that Professor Liang has not done anything to betray him...

How did the Rashomon-like incident come to light?

It's really lively!

Wenjie had a bit of a headache. He skipped over the back-and-forth banter and continued quickly browsing everyone's comments.

Soon, I went through all the messages, but my mind was a mess and I couldn't make sense of it.

At this time, his colleagues arrived one after another, and he glanced to the side and found that Bai Yu had already sat down at his workstation.

He didn't even notice when Bai Yu arrived.

He was probably too focused on the computer, but even if he didn't see Bai Yu, Bai Yu must have seen him!

Bai Yu didn't even say hello to him?

"Good morning!" Wenjie greeted Bai Yu with a smile.

"Good morning!" Bai Yu glanced at him and replied casually, then seemed to remember something and moved closer to Wen Jie.

"Oh right, you took leave yesterday. Director Wang needed to submit a report, so I handed it in for you. I was going to send you a message yesterday to let you know, but I got busy and forgot."

After saying that, he moved back to his workstation and got busy.

"Oh, thank you!" Wenjie said casually.

No wonder the report was missing; it turns out Bai Yu submitted it for him.
