I don't want to fall in love, I just want to get rewards

Chapter 154 Ache, long time no see

after an hour……

Chen Che hugged Jiang Mian, gently stroking her back, and softly asked her about her recent situation.

Jiang Mian couldn't muster any strength in his body at this moment, and felt a little bit unbelievable in his heart.

This kind of physical fitness is a bit too strong...

And judging from Chen Che's appearance, he obviously still has some strength left.

What surprised Jiang Mian was not only Chen Che's physical fitness, but also the wonderful magic power he possessed.

It was just a simple touch, but it seemed to carry a subtle electric current. Every time he touched her skin, she could feel an indescribable sense of comfort.

If the river had not dried up, she would have been able to flourish again in just a few seconds...

"You, don't touch me." Jiang Mian lay on Chen Che and said softly.

"Okay, I won't touch you anymore." Chen Che kept his word and hugged Jiang Mian's waist, asking, "How have you been lately?"

"What else can I do?" Jiang Mian sighed, feeling that the future was uncertain.

She still wondered why Huo Lianshan used technology to exercise. His original intention was to improve his physical fitness, but now he was sacrificing his health to pursue the so-called more perfect muscles...

Jiang Mian didn't want to control Huo Lianshan's hobbies and life, but she really couldn't understand the meaning of Huo Lianshan's choice.

Fortunately, he is here... Jiang Mian looked at Chen Che under him and couldn't help but think so, and then he was suddenly shocked.

Why do I think like this? Their behavior is wrong.

Chen Che sensed Jiang Mian's abnormal mood and hurried to comfort him.

"It's okay. We are like this, which is what Brother Shan wants to see..."

While comforting her, Chen Che's hand unconsciously stroked Jiang Mian's naked back.

"You pervert." Jiang Mian changed to a more comfortable position and murmured, "This is really not good..."

Chen Che could sense Jiang Mian's emotions and roughly understand what she was thinking.

She had long been immersed in this joy and had long been dependent on his body, but she just needed a step.

In other words, she needs someone to take responsibility so that she can feel psychologically comforted.

"Sister Jiang Mian is so charming." Chen Che said with a smile.

"You're blaming me, right?" Jiang Mian glared at Chen Che and bit his arm.

Although she was glaring at Chen Che, her eyes were clearly filled with reproach rather than disgust, and the bite on his arm didn't even leave a red mark.

Obviously, Jiang Mian, who was doubly satisfied mentally and physically at the moment, was reluctant to hurt Chen Che.

Chen Che naturally understood the reason, and his mind was opened up at the same time...

Between him and Lao Ai, who is more powerful... Lao Ai can push the wheel, so Chen Che thinks he can do it too.

This thought only lasted for a moment, and he still had to struggle with Jiang Mian.

Although Chen Che was “pushing” just now, from another perspective, he was also praising Jiang Mian’s charm…

Even if Jiang Mian didn't show it, few women could remain calm when being praised for their charm by a handsome boy who was more than ten years younger than them.

But the moral pressure in her heart still did not dissipate.

"Don't blame Sister Mian, blame me. I wasn't strong enough and couldn't control myself." Chen Che looked straight at Jiang Mian with sincere eyes.

"I am also wrong. If I...if I had no distracting thoughts, I wouldn't..." Jiang Mian wanted to say something, but his lips were tightly blocked by Chen Che.

The next second, Jiang Mian threw away all unnecessary thoughts in his mind and immersed himself in the gentle and lingering kiss.

……

Chen Che put on his clothes and then opened the bedroom door.

At this moment, Huo Lianshan was drinking water in the living room with a calm expression, as if he was really just drinking water.

"Brother Shan, I've fixed the computer." Chen Che said, "It's getting late today, I'll leave first."

"Okay, thank you for bothering you today." Huo Lianshan smiled warmly. After seeing Chen Che off, he rushed into the bedroom impatiently and looked at Jiang Mian who was curled up in the quilt.

Looking at his wife's charming and beautiful appearance, Huo Lianshan couldn't help swallowing and asked, "How is it?"

"Very good, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first." Jiang Mian's tone was complicated. She looked at her husband with fanatical eyes and didn't know what to say. Finally, after making an excuse, she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

She was indeed tired.

……

the next day.

Chen Che arrived at the agreed place early and waited for Shen Dai to come.

Shen Dai didn't keep Chen Che waiting for long. In less than ten minutes, Chen Che saw Shen Dai walking towards him, waving her hand.

Chen Che smiled and waved, then strode over.

"You've been waiting for a long time. I passed by a fruit tea shop on the way and bought two cups of fruit tea." Shen Dai raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but when she handed the fruit tea to Chen Che, her eyes were always glancing at his right hand.

"I just bought you a bouquet of flowers when I came here." Chen Che handed the bouquet to Shen Dai.

There are eight crushed ice blue flowers in the bouquet, just the right size to hold in one hand.

"I didn't expect you to buy flowers." Shen Dai took the flowers and then took two steps back. "Please take some photos for me."

Chen Che smiled and nodded, then took out his cell phone and started taking pictures of Shen Dai.

Shen Dai was wearing a little white dress today, with a bouquet of crushed ice blue flowers in her hand, her pure first love temperament was displayed to the fullest.

"Take a look. Do you like it?" Chen Che returned the phone to Shen Dai.

"Very good, I will use this photo as my screen saver when I go back." Shen Dai's tone and expression both showed the word "like".

"I'm glad you like it. Now let's go to the gallery together."

"Okay, the location of that gallery is a bit remote. If I hadn't been there that day..." Shen Dai said as she opened the umbrella in her hand.

"The sun is quite strong today, open an umbrella to block the sun."

"Let me get the umbrella." Chen Che took the umbrella and walked side by side with Shen Dai.

The umbrella was not big, and the two people under it were quite close to each other, with their shoulders almost touching.

At this distance, Chen Che could even smell the perfume on Shen Dai.

The scent of her perfume was very faint, and even at this distance, Chen Che had to look very carefully to smell it.

But this smell is very pleasant, a very refreshing citrus scent, giving people a simple and lingering feeling.

On the side of the road, under a dark blue umbrella, two people were walking slowly and leisurely. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they looked like a pair of immortal lovers.

……

The location of this gallery is indeed a bit remote, there is not much traffic around it, and the atmosphere is quite quiet.

Of course, most galleries are not located in downtown areas, and their business model is not to attract customers to come in and buy paintings. The vast majority of galleries adopt an invitation system, inviting well-known collectors and groups around them, and then gradually expand the circle.

Of course, due to the special nature of artworks, the main function of many galleries is not to sell paintings...

"I understand." Chen Che looked at the two large characters hanging at the door of the gallery and repeated them softly, then walked in with Shen Dai.

The interior decoration of the gallery is not fancy, but very simple, giving people a feeling of tranquility and comfort as soon as they enter.

Chen Che liked this kind of decoration very much. The only thing that made him feel a little unusual was that most of the paintings hung in the gallery were oil paintings, and the works seemed to be slightly in conflict with the environment itself.

Of course, this is just a small flaw.

There were not many people in the gallery. Excluding the store employees, there were only five visitors in total, including an elderly couple in their sixties or seventies.

Chen Che knew nothing about oil painting, so he couldn't tell the good from the bad.

However, Shen Dai was looking at the paintings quite seriously. Chen Che knew that she had learned painting before high school. The paintings might not be very good, but they should be average, for her to be so absorbed in them.

"What do you think?" Shen Dai asked in a low voice.

“I don’t quite understand, but I feel like the color ratio is very subtle.”

"Yeah, the colors are really good." Shen Dai whispered, "I learned oil painting outside in my first year of high school, and I feel that these are much better than the ones my oil painting teacher drew at the time."

Chen Che nodded. He felt that he did not quite understand this kind of art...

In Chen Che's opinion, art is something that is inherently highly subjective, and there is no objective and specific evaluation standard at all.

Besides, paintings are hyped up...

Most of the time, those sky-high priced paintings are not really worth the price, they just make it easier for some people to transfer assets.

Chen Che accompanied Shen Dai as they strolled slowly, admiring each painting.

Chen Che didn't understand the charm of it, but he wouldn't disturb other people's interest. Besides, the air conditioning here was quite cool, so he just took a rest.

When Chen Che was looking at the painting beside Shen Dai, he suddenly felt a gaze. He turned around and found a girl in work clothes looking at him closely.

Chen Che frowned subconsciously.

It wasn't that the other person's eyes made him feel uncomfortable, nor did he want to label her as a "female condenser", it was just...

For some reason, this girl gave me a familiar feeling.

Chen Che was certain that he had no specific interactions with this girl… Because of his excellent memory, many people he had only met once or twice would leave an impression in Chen Che's mind, and he would feel a sense of familiarity when they met again.

Obviously, this girl should be the kind of girl who had met him once but had no specific connection with him...

But if it were just that, Chen Che wouldn't be so angry. The problem is that the look in this girl's eyes is not right.

This look is not the kind of infatuated look one gets when seeing a handsome guy. Instead, it's like he's confirming something.

Chen Che thought for a moment and decided to go up and ask. But just as he was about to leave, the girl nodded to him and ran away.

Chen Che was also confused now, but he was too lazy to continue to worry about it, so for now he decided to accompany Shen Dai to look at the paintings.

The two of them walked and looked, and after they had finished looking at all the paintings on the first floor, they went up the stairs to the second floor.

at the same time.

A small office in a gallery...

The girl in work clothes ran into the office, took out her cell phone, quickly scrolled through the address book, and finally swiped to the line with "cousin".

After pressing the call button, the girl in work clothes paced back and forth while waiting for the call to go through.

After a while...

"Xiaoyu, what do you want to talk to me about?" A gentle and affectionate female voice sounded from the other end of the phone, teasing, "Are you tired after just two days? There aren't many people in my store, so don't tell me that the work intensity is high."

"It's not the intensity of the work." The girl in work clothes said anxiously: "There is important news, in the store, in the store..."

"What happened in the store?" The female voice on the other end remained calm.

"I think I saw your ex-boyfriend. I specifically compared it with the photos you sent me before, and overall they really look alike."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

"Are you sure?" This time, the woman's voice had a slight ups and downs.

"It should be him. Do you want to come over now?" The girl in work clothes seemed to have thought of something and added, "Oh, there is another girl next to him. She should be his girlfriend."

"I'm coming over now. If they want to leave, please help me delay them for a while."

"Okay, for the sake of pocket money, I'll definitely help you." The girl in work clothes patted her chest, and then said with a gloating look: "Look at you, you didn't say anything back then and just walked away. Now you're in trouble."

"Half of your salary this month will be deducted." The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly turned cold, followed by the sound of someone getting dressed.

“Cousin, please don’t…” The girl in work clothes wailed.

"If you can hold them back for me, your salary this month will triple."

"Okay." The girl in work clothes cheered up instantly. "As long as I have a breath left in me today, they won't be able to leave the gallery."

……

Chen Che accompanied Shen Dai and watched slowly.

It is worth mentioning that there are several ink paintings hanging on the second floor...

And that strange feeling of familiarity once again came to Chen Che's mind...

But this time, the sense of familiarity did not come from the girl in work clothes, but from one of the ink paintings.

Chen Che glanced at Shen Dai who was seriously appreciating the oil painting, let out a breath, and then walked towards the ink painting.

He read it carefully three or four times, while searching for relevant information in his mind over and over again...

However, he still couldn't find any information related to this painting...

The only thing about it is that he seemed to have seen this painting somewhere, but it was only one-third finished...

As for where I saw it and who drew it, I can't remember any of these important information...

Obviously, the one-third painting was just a product of his memory after a casual glance.

"I remember so many things that I shouldn't remember in normal times. When the critical moment comes, I can't remember anything." Chen Che was a little annoyed and grabbed his hair fiercely.

At the same time, Shen Dai also noticed that Chen Che had walked to the other side. After being stunned for a while, she walked towards Chen Che.

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

"Nothing." Chen Che shook his head and decided not to dwell on it anymore.

His ability to adjust himself was indeed very strong, and he never thought about the matter again.

Just as he and Shen Dai walked to the last painting, a gentle and affectionate voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Ache, long time no see."

Almost at the same moment, Chen Che felt his whole body frozen in place, and a large number of memories flooded into his mind.
