Chapter 390: 146, you are Chen Shanhe, I am Lin Mo!!_3
Soon, the elevator reached the first floor, and the doors opened slowly to each side.
Lin Mo took the lead, rushing out of the lobby and started to run around the community’s plastic track.
Chen Shanhe also started to run, following suit.
The community wasn’t big and didn’t have many buildings, and with Lin Mo sprinting and Chen Shanhe jogging, they would occasionally pass by each other.
When they did come across each other, they simply nodded and smiled, not engaging in much conversation.
….
The 20th floor, Lin Mo’s home.
Because they had to catch a flight today, the family got up very early, and after washing up, they waited in the living room.
Lin Changshui initially wanted to prepare breakfast, but Li Jinwen poked his head out and said, “Dad, there’s no need to cook this morning. Mo has gone down to buy breakfast and said he’s also going to buy some of Siyu’s favorite salted duck eggs.”
Mo was Lin Mo’s current name.
“Alright, I know.” Lin Changshui nodded and then asked, “When did he leave?”
Li Jinwen replied, “It’s been half an hour. He should be running in the community by now, you should be able to see him if you look out the window.”
Everyone knew that Lin Mo had taken up the habit of running six months ago, so no one found it strange.
Lin Changshui went to the window, looked down and said irritably, “Daughter, look how hardworking your brother is, and then there’s you, nearly 120 pounds now, right? That’s hardly a young lady’s appearance.”
Lin Siyu also walked over to the window, glanced out and said helplessly, “Dad, can you not bring everything back to me? Why don’t you go downstairs and run a couple of laps? Look at the man following my brother, he looks so young.”
“If the doctor hadn’t told me not to engage in strenuous exercise, I would definitely be up early every day to run,” Lin Changshui scolded, “You don’t suffer from any aftereffects in your bones, so why can’t you get some exercise?”
Lin Siyu stuck her tongue out mockingly, but didn’t move.
“I, on the other hand, would like to go downstairs for a walk,” Li Jinshan said as he stretched his neck and smiled, “Wait for me at home, I’ll bring back breakfast for you all in a bit.”
Zhang Li stood up and said, “Uncle, I’ll come with you.”
“You’d better hurry and help them pack their bags, we’re about to leave. Besides, Mo is downstairs, he’s fine.” Li Jinshan warmed up his body and shouted towards Li Jinwen, “Girl, I’m going down for a run. Help me pack my luggage later.”
Li Jinwen, who was rinsing his mouth, replied, “Alright, okay, I know, Dad.”
…..
Li Jinshan took the elevator down to the first floor.
The weather was very good today, and the sun was gradually rising. The red and yellow sunlight was extremely bright, the temperature was neither high nor low, and there was no wind, not cold at all.
Li Jinshan walked around the community, but he didn’t see Lin Mo anywhere.
Huh?
Where’s Mo?
Just as he was about to take out his phone to call Lin Mo, Chen Shanhe happened to run up beside him.
Li Jinshan asked, “Old timer, have you seen my son?”
Chen Shanhe stepped in place, very politely saying, “The young man who was running just now?”
Li Jinshan nodded, “Yes, that’s right, the one wearing a sportswear similar to yours.”
Chen Shanhe pointed towards the entrance of the community and said, “I saw him leave the community just now, he might have gone to buy something.”
“Ah, then he probably went to buy breakfast.” Li Jinshan looked at the elder before him and smiled, “Old timer, you look quite distinguished, have you worked in the system before? I haven’t seen you before, I think.”
Lin Mo had asked the same question before.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
This was a technique, preemptive, creating the false impression of being a long-term resident.
Li Jinshan used to be a civil servant, so even though Chen Shanhe had changed his appearance, he could still detect that hint of bureaucracy from certain details.
Furthermore, Li Jinshan was sure that this old timer’s rank in the past must have been quite high.
Chen Shanhe laughed and said, “Younger brother, you have sharp eyes. Indeed, I’ve worked as a grassroots civil servant for a couple of years, but then because the pay was low, I went abroad to make money. Were you also in the system before?”
Li Jinshan nodded, his voice laden with reminiscence, “Yeah, I was in the system for a lifetime. It’s just how our line of work is; making big money is impossible.”
“That notorious Chen Shanhe has indeed made quite a lot, but now he’s ended up with his family destroyed, and he himself is wanted by the law.”
Chen Shanhe’s expression changed slightly.
In all these years, no one had dared to call him out to his face…
Fortunately, he had been through many big scenes and managed to keep his composure well, showing no extraordinary reactions.
“Indeed, that old dog got what he deserved,” he agreed with Li Jinshan, and just as he was about to take his leave to continue running, he heard Li Jinshan say, “Brother, since we’re somewhat fated, why don’t we run together awhile?”
Chen Shanhe’s mouth twitched. This man was getting on in years, so why was he behaving so familiarly? Though he was reluctant, he found no excuse not to, especially since the community was so small and they were bound to run into each other regardless.
Plus, he was quite curious to hear what ordinary people thought of him, how bad their opinion could be.
With complex emotions, Chen Shanhe smiled and nodded, saying, “Sure, no problem, let’s run together. But I’m a bit hungry too, I’ll have to go for breakfast after another couple of laps.”
Li Jinshan nodded: “Let’s go, I can’t run for long either, I’m getting old and not as fit as I used to be.”
“By the way, brother, are you a local from Northern Sea City?”
“Yeah, pretty much,” Chen Shanhe replied casually, politely suggesting, “Let’s go, we can talk while we run.”
Li Jinshan and Chen Shanhe started to run together slowly around the community track, casually chatting from time to time about live broadcast incidents and their respective views.
