157: Help Clean Your Ears

Two days later, Wang Cheng embarked on his journey to the Imperial Capital. It was still the same airport as before, but the purpose of his two visits had changed greatly. The winter of the Imperial Capital was colder than in Shanhai City. It snowed more here, and, when the temperature is the coldest, it was several degrees below zero for ten consecutive days. It was a few degrees Celsius now, so everyone in the airport was wrapped in coats and down jackets, wrapping themselves like fat dumplings.

When Wang Cheng walked with Chu Yifeng out of the airport lobby, the oncoming cold air made him shiver. He had been living in Shanhai City since he was a child, and couldn't adapt to such cold weather for a while. There was a car waiting for them outside the airport, and there was a man with black glasses standing next to it. When he saw them, he pulled the car door open immediately.

At Chu Yifeng’s urging, Wang Cheng quickly got into the car, sitting inside. After the door was closed, the cold air outside was instantly cut off.

"I was cold to death just now, what is the temperature here? It was not so cold when Shanhai City was at its coldest." Wang Cheng rubbed his cold hands, his fingers were frozen stiff even when wearing gloves. The heat from the friction finally warmed his hands.

"It should be around minus seven degrees." After taking off his gloves, Chu Yifeng helped him remove the cold frost from his scarf and clothes. The place where he lived abroad was colder during winter than Beijing, and he wasn’t as affected by that cold.

"It's so low, in broad daylight? Nights in Shanhai City are at most a few degrees below zero." Wang Cheng felt that he really didn't want to adapt to the weather here. He planned to call Wang Ziyu the next day to ask, she must have been very uncomfortable in the beginning.

"Let’s find some time to buy some warmer jackets." Chu Yifeng said.

"Don’t. Next time, I can go by myself. I won’t bother you, Boss Chu." Wang Cheng refused momentarily, not because he didn't want to go out with Chu Yifeng, but because, if he went on like this, he would be in debt. He didn’t plan to stay in the Imperial Capital in the future. “The Imperial Capital is prosperous, but I think it is better in Shanhai City. "

He sensed that the air he breathed in the capital was not as good as Shanhai City.

The corner of Chu Yifeng’s mouth ticked upwards, apparently aware of his thoughts. "I forgot, someone still owes me a lot of money."

Wang Cheng felt like he shot himself in the knee.

At the same time, after Chu Wenting investigated him and Chu Yifeng, it didn't take long for him to know that they had left Shanhai City, with the destination being the Imperial Capital.

Did his cousin know that they were going to take action, so he planned to make the first move?

This kind of thing was not impossible, and according to his previous investigations, his cousin had hidden his relationship with that man named Wang Cheng for several months, and the relationship between the two was now very stable. In Shanhai City, during that time, he often did things that did not fit his personality, which showed that he attached great importance to this man.

The more Chu Wenting thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, but he decided not to tell his grandfather and dad first, and to wait for them to come to the Imperial Capital before observing their movements. If this was the case, it would not be too late to think of countermeasures.

Chu Yifeng had three properties in the Imperial Capital. Because he did not go there often, there was little popularity there. However, there were regular cleanings every week. Two of those properties were known to the Chu family. Chu Yifeng asked the driver to drive to the third property. Meifu happened to be near.

[T/N: They mentioned ‘Meifu’ before, the area where Wang Ziyu and her dormmates ate out with Wang Cheng.]

Binhai Garden was a famous high-tech villa area in the Imperial Capital. The people living here were either rich or expensive, so the management was very strict. There were only three security guards on the outermost periphery. The reason why it was high-tech was because of the first way to enter the gate. The program used the villa owner's fingerprint for identification. The second program was for their own villa, which needed iris recognition. The owner could also authorize people who they trusted, as long as they entered the fingerprint and iris of the other party.

“The safety factor is so high that no one can find the golden house mistress.” Wang Cheng was very amazed. He could only see this stuff on TV, and it was the first time that he saw it was real.

[T/N: Golden house mistress. Pinyin = Jinwu Cangjiao, referring to a tale where one of the youngest (lowest-ranked) princes and a lady of the palace courted, and he said that if he could marry her, he would build a golden house for her to live in. So she would be the mistress of the house.]

Chu Yifeng heard his words and said, "Relax, if you want to hide, you can also hide."

"Bah, you are Chen Ajiao."

[T/N: The lady of the story.]

"If you want it, I don't mind."

Chu Yifeng threw the luggage in his hand on the sofa. "I'll turn on the heating and take you to familiarize yourself.” The villa was large, more than enough for two people. The decoration was much more luxurious than the apartment, with a duplex structure and a fashionable mix and match style. The tones were not dark, unlike the serious and calm black and white of the apartment, and looking at it could make people feel a little lighter. After turning on the heating, the house finally felt warmer. Only wealthy people could afford such a large villa. If ordinary households turned on their heaters like this every day, it would take them a few months to smash the pot and sell iron.

[T/N: To make the money back quickly, usually with no alternatives.]

"Take off your jacket." Chu Yifeng's own jacket and scarf had already been taken off. Underneath was a pair of casual slacks with a v-neck sweater on top, good-looking and handsome.

Wang Cheng also felt that it was a bit hot at the beginning, and there was a lot of frost on his clothes, so it now felt a bit wet.

The second floor of the villa was only half the size of the first floor. There was one master bedroom, two guest rooms, and one room was a study. It should have been cleaned yesterday. The house was still clean, but wasn’t good for people obsessed with cleanliness because there was dust everywhere. Wang Cheng thought that Chu Yifeng was disgusted, but he had ignored it. He forgot that this guy's so-called ‘cleanliness’ was fake, yet he actually believed it.

Wang Cheng took a look at the kitchen while Chu Yifeng was taking a shower. The kitchen utensils had not been used at all, and there were no ingredients in the refrigerator, it was completely empty, Wang Cheng only grabbed air. He knew that he should go to the supermarket first thing.

Chu Yifeng came out of the shower and found out that he was washing kitchen utensils in the kitchen after looking around.

"Boss Chu, there is nothing in the refrigerator. What are we going to eat today?" Hearing footsteps, Wang Cheng didn't turn back.

"It's too cold outside, so why not order takeout?"

"Okay, I'll leave this task to you." Wang Cheng had gone to the yard before, but was frozen, so he didn’t want to go out at all now. He could only buy the ingredients next time he went out.

Chu Yifeng came to the living room and picked up a few order cards from the landline. He rarely came here, and almost never ordered takeaway when he did. These order cards were placed here in advance, and Binhai Garden had a cooperative relationship with them, so the taste of the food would not be too bad.

After Wang Cheng cleaned the kitchen, he went upstairs to take a shower. The clothes were prepared by Chu Yifeng and placed next to the bed in the bedroom. When he came out of the shower, he heard the doorbell ringing downstairs, and then saw Chu Yifeng coming over with the lunch box.

"So fast?"

"Come down to eat." Chu Yifeng was not surprised at all.

If the guests of Binhai Garden ordered food, they dared not neglect them. Even if it was not their turn, these restaurants would give theirs first, and strive to deliver it as soon as possible, so as not to let them wait too long.

Wang Cheng smoothly threw the towel onto the armrest of the sofa. The lunch box did not look like the common fast food box on the outside, it was specially made with a beautiful pattern embroidered on the periphery. Obviously, it took a lot of work because the speed of delivery was fast. Therefore, even if the lunch box did not have the function of heat preservation, the food inside was still as hot as if it was freshly cooked, exuding a fragrant heat.

Chu Yifeng brought out one dish after another, and the small lunch box seemed to include all kinds of seas and rivers, each dish more exquisite than the other.

Wang Cheng quickly went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, which he had just washed and disinfected. It was still very hot in his hands. He had never eaten such a rich take-out. He had previously heard Cheng Cheng and Fang Tian describe their take-out before. They said that takeaway was not safe and it was greasy, with unbalanced nutrition. If one ate too much, it would not be good for the body. Now it seemed that it was the fault of no money.

After eating, Wang Cheng called Wang Ning'an. Since it was impossible for them to come without telling his brother, Wang Ning'an was really surprised when he heard that he had come to the Imperial Capital. Wang Cheng knew he would ask, and told him that he was living in a friend’s house.

"Why did you suddenly want to come to the Imperial Capital? Do our parents know? What friend's house are you staying in?"

Wang Cheng poked his ear. "Big brother, you have so many questions. Our parents know. This matter is a long story, and I will tell you when I have time to meet you."

"Well, call me then and I'll send someone to pick you up."

"No, I'm with my friend. He knows the Imperial Capital better than me, and I have to finish some things first. Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Beijing University to see our little sister. I don't know if her living expenses are enough or not. The weather is cold, so afterward, I need to buy a lot of warm clothes. The Imperial Capital is much colder than Shanhai City."

"You don't have to worry about her. I gave her living allowance before. She said that she had found a tutoring job for herself, and that she would be able to live off of that."

"How can she live that way. That little girl must be frugal again. No, I have to check it out tomorrow." The brothers talked for more than half an hour before hanging up. Wang Cheng thought he had successfully shifted the topic. He didn’t know that Wang Ning'an had already noticed it a long time ago, but just followed his intentions of not talking about this friend. It seemed that he was not an ordinary friend. Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yifeng sat down beside him, and he seemed to have a cotton swab in his hand? He raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you doing?"

"Helping you clean out your ears."
