Chapter 13
Why Can’t You Bear to?
With Chen Che’s persistence, the livestream room was filled with discussions, and the shop also attracted onlookers.
Chen Che was truly a ruthless person. He forcefully finished one and then picked up the second one.
At this moment, he was still crying non-stop. His face was red, and his lips were slightly swollen from the spiciness.
Even so, he had no intention of giving up!
Listening to the gossip around her, Lin Xi became more and more worried. She really wanted to force Chen Che to stop, but she was afraid that he would be unhappy.
The waiter at the side was even more dumbfounded. Speaking of which, this spice challenge had been going on for a month and she had seen many challengers.
However, this was the first time she had seen a ruthless person like Chen Che who was unwilling to give up even after tears streamed down his face.
Just like that, under everyone’s attention, Chen Che ate the two chicken wings with all his might. From his mouth to his stomach, he was completely numb!
The uncles and aunties who were watching the commotion could not help but say, “What a brave young man!”
Seeing this, Lin Xi hurriedly said, “He succeeded in the challenge, right? Hurry up and bring him water.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go now.” The waiter immediately came back to his senses and jogged to get water.
At this moment, the live-stream was also flooded with comments: [Vicious person, I’m convinced!]
When the mineral water was delivered, Chen Che drank a large bottle in one go as if he had been thirsty for a few days.
Under the pressure of the water, his body finally relaxed.
Chen Che looked at Lin Xi and smiled. “I’ve succeeded. You can eat whatever you want.”
“Are… are you really alright? If you’re not feeling well, you have to tell me quickly.” At this moment, Lin Xi was only concerned about Chen Che’s health and did not have the mood to care about anything else.
“It’s just two chicken wings. Two more will be fine.” Chen Che wiped his tears and said, looking very comical.
“You’re just bragging. If you eat two more, your tears will run dry.” Lin Xi smiled helplessly.
Chen Che chuckled and turned to look at the waiter. “Two bowls of high-end spicy hotpot, four sausages, and twenty lamb skewers.”
“Okay, handsome.” The waiter nodded. After turning around, he couldn’t help but grin. He thought to himself, This person is really invincible in order to take advantage of a deal!
Seeing that Chen Che’s challenge was successful, the onlookers dispersed.
Lin Xi said in a low voice, “Chen Che, even if it’s free, you can’t finish so much, right?”
“I can finish it. I’m especially hungry now. I can eat an elephant.” Chen Che patted his stomach.
Although he said that, he was actually thinking that if he didn’t eat more, he would be letting himself down!
Looking at Chen Che, Lin Xi was amused.
After spending two days together, she was really defeated by Chen Che’s stinginess.
However, she did not dislike it. Instead, she found it interesting.
Not long after, the delicious food was served. Chen Che ate it in big mouthfuls and thought to himself, “It’s even more delicious since I didn’t need to spend money!”
This dinner was considered a luxury, and it was a luxury that did not cost money.
By the time he left the shop, Chen Che’s stomach was clearly bulging and he could barely move.
Seeing this, the live-stream started complaining again.
[He almost died from the spiciness, now he’s going to die from overeating again. This Chen Che has really broadened my horizons!]
[Isn’t it embarrassing for the goddess to be with him?]
[That’s right. I was embarrassed by the embarrassing scene just now!]
[He’s thick-skinned. How can we compare?]
…
The two of them held hands and took a walk after dinner. Unknowingly, they arrived at the park last night.
At this point, Lin Xi recalled what happened last night and said, “I couldn’t stop you yesterday, but you can’t continue to stay here today. You can’t rest well and still have to go to work. Do you want to die?”
“Come stay at my house. I’m not afraid of gossip. What are you afraid of?”
As soon as he said this, the netizens widened their eyes and thought to themselves, Chen Che wouldn’t reject another invitation, right?
As long as Chen Che agreed, the plan of playing hard to get would be confirmed!
However, the netizens’ speculations were once again slapped in the face.
Chen Che smiled and shook his head. “No need. I already have a new place tonight.”
“Chen Che, I really don’t understand. What’s the reason for your insistence?” Lin Xi frowned.
“A man’s dignity,” Chen Che replied seriously.
Upon hearing this, the live-stream immediately erupted.
[Pfft! You’re poor and stingy. Do you have the right to raise your dignity?]
Lin Xi sighed. “Alright, since you’ve said so, I won’t force you. But I only hope that you can take better care of yourself.”
“You said before that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me. If there’s something wrong with your body, how can you grow old together?”
Chen Che laughed. “Don’t worry, I’m in good health. Don’t worry about me.”
“Come, let’s take a walk over there.”
Time always flies when the two of them are together.
Just like yesterday, after the walk, Chen Che personally sent Lin Xi home. When he saw that the lights were on upstairs, he left in relief.
Tonight, Chen Che decided to stay in the self-service cash withdrawal hall. It was the best place to stay without wind or rain.
...
Before he transmigrated, Chen Che had always seen homeless people living there, so when he woke up this morning, he had already made up his mind.
There was a cash withdrawal hall not far from Lin Xi’s residence. Chen Che went in and observed that it was very spacious. He left in satisfaction.
As it was still a little early, Chen Che could only sit at the door and wait. After all, he had to think about the person who is withdrawing their money.
“Are you staying here tonight?” VJ asked.
“That’s right. We can see Lin Xi’s home from here. I can sleep soundly and protect her better,” Chen Che said with a smile.
Lin Xi, who was watching the live broadcast, felt warmth in her heart. Although Chen Che was stingy, his unintentional words and actions always moved her.
The VJ sighed. “Let me ask you a question on behalf of everyone. Why can’t you bear to spend the $1,000 bonus today? Is there something you can’t say?”
The netizens immediately pricked up their ears, and so did Lin Xi.
Chen Che thought that if he said that he could not bear to spend it, it would seem too stingy.
No one would believe that he had spent it or lost it. After all, the cameras had been following him for the entire day.
After thinking about it, Chen Che smiled and said, “There’s nothing difficult to say. It’s not that I can’t bear to.”
...
“I know that many people don’t think highly of me and Lin Xi. They think that I’ve lowered Lin Xi’s status. Some even think that I’m a freeloader.”
“It’s precisely because of this that I have to be independent and strong. I’m thrifty just to marry Lin Xi.”
“Although the money saved seems very little, it’s better to save up. With the capital, I can do more things, such as starting a business and giving Lin Xi a better life.”
After hearing this, VJ couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up. “You have backbone. I support you.”
“Thank you.” Chen Che smiled.
The live broadcast room also fell silent at this moment, suddenly touched by Chen Che.
Even the netizens were like this, let alone Lin Xi. At this moment, she was already crying.
At this moment, a sloppy uncle in a military coat entered his line of sight with a pillow under his arm.
Chen Che was stunned and thought to himself, “No way, there are competitors even in a place like this?”
