Star Tycoon

Chapter 7 Check-in
On the way home, Tian Ersan rode the bike while Wang Linlin held onto the shoulders of the stranger behind her.

"My name is Tian Ersan. Your sister asked me to come and pick you up."

Wang Linlin was rescued by this man when she was in the most danger. Now, feeling the gentle breeze, she felt very comfortable and happy.

"I know, my sister told me about Brother Tian and told me to listen to him. Thank you for what happened just now, Brother Tian!"

Tian Ersan stopped when he saw a red light ahead. Because of the sudden stop, the eighteen-year-old girl behind him quickly pressed against his back.

"Then you'd better be good and hold on to me, so you don't fall. I borrowed this vehicle. I originally had a tricycle, but I was worried that it would embarrass you if I went to pick you up, so I borrowed an electric scooter. I'm not very familiar with this vehicle."

Wang Linlin was even more moved after hearing this, and shyly reached out to hug Tian Ersan's waist, getting even closer to him.

"Thank you, Brother Tian! I'll repay you by doing your laundry and cooking for you from now on!"

Tian Ersan asked curiously, "How did you do on your exam?"

Wang Linlin was embarrassed when she heard the question. "I must have gotten a zero. I don't know anything on the test. I originally planned to get my diploma and get married after the exam, but Li Zi said that his brother found me a big boss and wants me to go there to pay off his debts."

“It means becoming a mistress,” Tian Ersan stated clearly.

Wang Linlin understood this too, and said shyly, "Yes."

Holding this young man, Wang Linlin felt very safe and her heart was racing.

Tian Ersan suggested, "I don't know if those people have been caught yet. I might have been exposed while trying to save you. Let's keep a low profile for a while. Those people are not good people. If you fall into their hands, it will be worse than you think. They are just saying nice things to make you careless."

Wang Linlin believed Tian Ersan's words, "Okay! I'll listen to Brother Tian!"

Tian Ersan quickly took Wang Linlin home, first dropping her off at the convenience store before returning the car.

"Brother Zhou, I brought the car back. Here are a few bottles of mineral water as a thank you fee."

Zhou Fa was repairing a car. Today, many people came to the county town for the college entrance examination, which affected the business at the intersection to some extent.

"Okay!" Zhou Fa was extremely busy and readily agreed.

Tian Ersan then said, "I'll put it in the house for you."

"Great!" Zhou Fa thought this person was meticulous; the food was gone in no time after being placed in the basket.

The water is worthless, but the bottle is valuable.

Tian Ersan quickly placed the three bottles of mineral water in the somewhat messy outer room. The inner room was where Zhou Fa's wife lived, and Tian Ersan didn't go there.

"Brother Zhou, I'm leaving!"

"middle!"

Zhou Fa continued to busy himself patching the tires of the electric vehicle, glancing at them before going back to work.

Inside the small shop, Wang Linlin also met Zhang Shuya.

After exchanging a few words, the two saw Tian Ersan return.

Zhang Shuya said enthusiastically, "Brother Tian! Thank you! Linlin, please thank Brother Tian!"

Wang Linlin finally saw Brother Tian without a helmet. After discovering that this brother was even more handsome than she had imagined, even more handsome than those celebrities, her smile became even wider.

"Thank you, Brother Tian!"

Looking at the pure-looking, obedient girl next door, Tian Ersan felt better.

"You can go upstairs or into the yard, but don't come out for a while, or you'll be easily recognized if someone sees you."

Zhang Shuya was also afraid of that group of thugs, so she quickly pulled Wang Linlin away.

"Okay, we'll do as Brother Tian says. We won't go out. I tidied up the kitchen this afternoon. The pots and stove are working now. We'll cook for Brother Tian from now on."

Wang Linlin said with a smile, "Finally, I don't have to eat steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and canned food every day!"

Tian Ersan eats breakfast outside every day, such as spicy soup, mutton soup, and sesame seed cakes. He never neglects his growing body and strength.

Making money isn't difficult, and there's no rush. Spend it when you need to.

It's a good thing to have someone cook, so Tian Ersan readily agreed, "Okay! You guys can keep busy inside, and I'll keep busy outside. Two of us will take care of the household chores, and one of us will take care of the outings."

The three quickly reached an agreement and began to divide the work among themselves.

Tian Ersan found a dirty bed sheet and hung it at the entrance to the courtyard to block the view of customers outside. Soon, the shop started getting business.

The woman who entered was a young woman, who looked very young, probably not even twenty years old, and had the air of a country woman.

"Welcome! What would you like to order, beautiful lady?"

When Li Fang came in, she saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old standing up from the computer desk. He had a nice voice, was good-looking, and gave people a warm and comfortable feeling. He was also very fair-skinned and had very good skin, unlike someone from a small county town.

"I'm from the electric bike repair shop across the street. I'm just here to request a song."

Li Fang had heard Zhou Fa talk about the convenience store in the past two days, and she also knew that she could download songs and videos there.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "What song do you want to hear? I'll download it for you for free. We're already acquaintances. Just buy a towel, it'll only cost ten yuan."

Li Fang had no intention of buying towels; she just planned to download a few songs.

However, seeing that this person had a tough time, and that Li Fang was also quite bored at home alone, she smiled and agreed.

"Then I'll buy a towel, and you can download a few more songs for me."

"Any number is fine!" Tian Ersan readily agreed. "What song do you want to download?"

Li Fang quickly went inside and looked at the download page.

"Go ahead and download whatever you want. Have you ever played Audition Online?"

"I've played it before." Tian Ersan said with a smile, "How about some more upbeat foreign language songs? And some pop songs, and a few light music tracks too?"

Li Fang didn't know how to express her thoughts, nor did she have a clear concept of them. After hearing Tian Ersan's words, she nodded happily.

"Okay, you can just download whatever you like."

Tian Ersan quickly said, "Sit wherever you like."

"I won't sit. Can I stand here and see how he finishes the song?" Li Fang stood next to Tian Ersan to see how he would finish the song.

Most people don't like having someone standing next to them. Even electric vehicle repairmen don't like having someone constantly watching them while they're working.

Strangers are one thing, but repairing electric bikes isn't something shameful.

However, electric vehicle repairmen don't like their wives or relatives watching them work.

Other jobs are pretty much the same; unless you're teaching apprentices and children, you don't like being the center of attention.

People who play computer games are probably the same; they don't like having people watching them.

Those who type hate it even more when someone is watching them while they are chatting.

Tian Ersan sensed that although this young woman ate and lived with her husband, she was very lonely.

Don't you cook at home?

Looking at the computer screen, Li Fang replied, "I don't cook, I just buy food."

If a married man can't save money, it's usually the other party's problem.

Tian Ersan wasn't worried about his techniques being stolen. Downloading these things was easy; all he needed was a computer and a lot of customers.

This woman will only look at it briefly and then forget about it.

Tian Ersan didn't want to talk much about other people's wives, so he politely helped her download a few songs from her playlist.

"Alright, Sister Li." Tian Ersan already knew the other person's name.

I also know that this woman dropped out of junior high school after only one year, worked outside for a few years, and then came back to get married.

Life is not simple, but there's not much to say about it.

In small towns, it's rare to encounter college students; most people are young girls with only a junior high school education, middle-aged men with only a primary school education, and illiterate old women.

Despite being a high school graduate and diligently taking notes, Wang Linlin's actual academic level is only that of a second-year junior high school student.

Li Fang left quickly, satisfied.

I spent ten yuan to download more than a hundred songs, got a towel, and chatted with the male anchor for almost an hour.
