Rongrong

Chapter 400 Wu 2 Bai 1

Hangzhou, March 1977, spring is in full bloom.

The streets of Hangzhou are bustling with activity. Chen Rong is strolling along the small paths of Hangzhou.

Suddenly, a man on a bicycle sped past. Chen Rong was hit on the arm by the bicycle and staggered to the side.

A pair of slender hands reached out and held Chen Rong's arm. A handsome face that looked about 20 years old looked at Chen Rong and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"

Chen Rong looked up and met Wu Erbai's cold eyes. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. Thank you."

Seeing this, Wu Erbai raised his thin lips to Chen Rong and smiled, "I'm glad you're okay. Be careful when you walk next time."

Chen Rong nodded and smiled when she heard this: "Yes, I know! By the way, my name is Chen Rong, what's your name?"

Wu Erbai heard this and said, "My name is Wu Erbai."

"Wu Erbai?" Chen Rong muttered as she looked at Wu Erbai, "Why does your name sound a bit like taking advantage of someone?"

Hearing this, Wu Erbai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Really? How are you taking advantage of others?"

Chen Rong smiled slightly: "Because! In some places, people call uncle (bo) "bo (bai)". Tell me, are you taking advantage of others?"

Wu Erbai nodded and smiled when he heard this: "I see, I didn't expect there is such a saying!"

Chen Rong nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right. Every place has a different name for it."

Wu Erbai nodded: "Yes, I don't know either."

Chen Rong smiled and pointed to the teahouse not far away and said, "Thank you for what you did just now! Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat."

Hearing this, Wu Erbai looked at Chen Rong's smiling face and nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, Chen Rong and Wu Erbai came to the teahouse and sat down.

Seeing this, the boss came over with a menu and handed it to Wu Erbai, saying, "What would you like to eat, guys?"

Seeing this, Wu Erbai took the menu and handed it to Chen Rong, saying, "Here, order something."

Hearing this, Chen Rong reached out to take the menu, opened it, and ordered some delicious-looking pastries and a pot of tea.

After finishing, Chen Rong handed the menu to the boss, who took it and asked people to get started.

Chen Rong leaned on the table with her chin supported by her hands and looked at Wu Erbai and said, "By the way, are you from Hangzhou?"

Wu Erbai thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, I guess so. What about you?"

Chen Rong heard this and said, "I am the same as you, so I guess."

Wu Erbai smiled when he heard this: "So, you are also from Hangzhou?"

Chen Rong sat up straight and shook her head: "Not now, but who knows in the future!"

Hearing this, Wu Erbai nodded thoughtfully: "Oh~ so, are you here to travel in Hangzhou?"

Chen Rong nodded: "That's understandable."

Wu Erbai asked again after hearing this: "I see, then where is your home?"

Chen Rong shook her head and said, "Well, I haven't fixed it yet. Wherever I go is my home."

Wu Erbai wanted to ask something after hearing this, but was interrupted by the boss who came over with tea and various snacks.

"Come on, have some tea and some snacks." Chen Rong said as she picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Wu Erbai.

Seeing this, Wu Erbai reached out and picked up the teacup, blew on it, and then took a small sip.

Chen Rong then poured herself a cup of tea and set it aside, then put the teapot down and picked up a piece of cake to eat.

Suddenly, Chen Rong remembered something and asked, "Oh, right! What kind of money are we using now?"

Hearing this, Wu Erbai was surprised and said, "Use banknotes and coins! You don't even know this? Do you have money?"

Chen Rong smiled and whispered, "I don't have any money, but don't be afraid. I'll take you away later."

Hearing this, Wu Erbai couldn't help but laugh: "That's not necessary, I brought money, I'll treat you to this meal."

Chen Rong raised her lips when she heard that: "Really? Thank you very much, Brother Xiaobai."

Wu Erbai smiled and nodded, "You have no money, so do you have a place to live in Hangzhou?"

Chen Rong coughed lightly and looked at Wu Erbai sincerely, "No, Brother Xiaobai, would you like to take me in?"

Wu Erbai reached out, picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and nodded: "Okay! Then I'll be a good person and take you in."

Chen Rong smiled widely upon hearing this: "Oh yeah! Thank you, Brother Xiaobai, you are such a good person!"

Wu Erbai didn't comment. He pointed at the things on the table and said, "Okay, let's eat."

Hearing this, Chen Rong nodded: "Yes, okay."

...............

After Chen Rong had eaten and drunk her fill, Wu Erbai took out the money to pay the boss, and the two of them got up and left the teahouse.

Wu Erbai looked at Chen Rong and asked, "Where else do you want to go for a stroll?"

Hearing this, Chen Rong looked at Wu Erbai and asked, "Well, there's nothing to see! How about you, Brother Xiaobai? What's up?"

Wu Erbai shook his head: "I'm fine, let's go, I'll take you to where I live."

Chen Rong nodded and smiled when she heard this: "Okay! Is your place far from here?"

"It's not far." Wu Erbai pointed to the car parked on the street and said, "Let's go back by car."

Afterwards, Chen Rong and Wu Erbai came to the car.

Wu Erbai opened the back door and said to Chen Rong, "Come on, get in."

Seeing this, Chen Rong stepped forward, lowered her head and got into the car, and Wu Erbai followed suit.

After Wu Erbai closed the car door, he gave the driver a look and the driver started the car and left.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of an antique Chinese-style house.

Wu Erbai opened the car door, got out, looked down at Chen Rong in the car and said, "We're here, get out."

Seeing this, Chen Rong got out of the car, stood on the ground, and looked at the gate of the house.

Wu Erbai closed the car door and gestured to the gate, "This is my house. Welcome to visit. Let's go in and take a look."

Hearing this, Chen Rong nodded and walked into the gate with Wu Erbai.

The house was quite large, and Wu Erbai took Chen Rong around for a long time.

Arriving at the side rooms in the backyard, Wu Erbai pointed and said, "Okay, you can pick any of these rooms. Which one do you want to stay in? I'll have someone clean it."

Hearing this, Chen Rong curled up the corners of her mouth and revealed a hint of a smile, saying, "No need, just have someone clean up a guest room for me to stay in."

"How can that be possible!" Wu Erbai looked at the rooms and pointed at one, saying, "Let's go with this one. I'll have someone clean it up later."

Chen Rong glanced at what he said and nodded: "Well, okay, then I'll trouble Brother Xiaobai!"

Wu Erbai raised his thin lips when he heard this: "You're welcome. Let's go and sit in the living room. I'll have someone clean up."

Chen Rong nodded and smiled: "Okay!"

Afterwards, Chen Rong and Wu Erbai came to the living room and sat down.

Wu Erbai asked someone to clean the house and sat in the living room with Chen Rong drinking tea and watching TV.
