Rong Lan looked up at the sky. "Isn't it inappropriate to visit someone at eight or nine o'clock in the evening?"
Chu Hengyuan smiled. "If you think it's not good to visit someone at night, I'll accompany you there again tomorrow. The decision is yours."
Rong Lan hesitated for less than three seconds before making up her mind. "Let's go home."
On the one hand, it was indeed inappropriate to visit someone at eight or nine o'clock at night. On the other hand, Chu Hengyuan had been driving all day. She felt embarrassed to trouble him further. If they went to City F and came back, it would probably be early morning. How exhausted Chu Hengyuan would be.
Chu Hengyuan didn't know she had so many thoughts. He just thought she simply felt it was inappropriate to visit someone at night. "Okay, let's go home. If you're free tomorrow, I'll take you there."
"Okay." Rong Lan replied cheerfully, but secretly decided in her heart that she would get up earlier tomorrow and go there by herself. She had memorized the address Chu Hengyuan had mentioned to her just now.
She wasn't a fox who liked to trouble others. Chu Hengyuan had taken her around today, and she had to think about what small gift to give him to express her gratitude.
Calculating like this, the money she had extorted from Bai Rongran seemed to have been almost squandered.
She had to urge Wang Tong to finish renovating her storefront faster. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to afford to take care of Chu Hengyuan.
Chu Hengyuan "innocently" thought that Rong Lan would ask him to go to City F with her. However, he miscalculated. By two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, he still hadn't received any message from Rong Lan. When he sent her a message to inquire, he found out that Rong Lan had already arrived in City F.
Sitting on a stone bench in the small garden in the old district of City F, Rong Lan dangled her legs and occasionally looked down at her phone.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up, showing Chu Hengyuan's name. Rong Lan immediately rummaged through her pockets for her earphones. After putting them on, she answered the call. "Young Master Chu..."
Chu Hengyuan's tone was complicated. "Rong Lan, do you know the way when you go to City F by yourself?"
Rong Lan coughed lightly. "Young Master Chu, I don't have the attribute of being direction - challenged. I just don't remember the way sometimes. Most of the time, I can find my way."
Moreover, when someone was leading the way, she would be too lazy to figure out which way to go. She wasn't as weak, helpless, and pitiful as Chu Hengyuan thought.
Chu Hengyuan sighed. "When do you think you'll come back? I'll come and pick you up." To prevent Rong Lan from rejecting him, he finally added one more sentence. "I have nothing to do at home. It's good to drive around more."
He didn't need to be busy with work. Staying at home was just boring.
Hearing the last emphasized sentence from Chu Hengyuan, Rong Lan counted the time on her fingers. "I should be able to finish around eight o'clock in the evening. If you want to come, come around three or four o'clock."
"Okay, then I'll drive there at three o'clock." Although Chu Hengyuan said so, after saying this, he walked into the cloakroom to find clothes, planning to change and go out immediately after hanging up the phone.
Rong Lan swayed her legs. "Thank you for your trouble."
"It's not a trouble. It's only natural for me to pick up my little fiancée. By the way, where are you now? Didn't you go straight to their house? The address I told you yesterday should have included the house number." The fact that she could answer the call meant that she was alone at the moment, and the place she was in probably didn't have many people. He didn't hear any noise.
Rong Lan tilted her head, and her gaze fell on a five - story gray - white residential building not far away.
"I'm sitting in the small park closest to that place. I want to calm down before going upstairs to knock on the door." She didn't tell the truth after all, because she didn't think Chu Hengyuan would believe the truth this time.
She couldn't tell Chu Hengyuan that when she rushed there in a hurry and just stood downstairs, wanting to catch her breath for a minute before going upstairs to knock on the door, at that moment, a memory appeared in her mind. That memory told her a very important point - the biological father of this body would go to a restaurant near the small park for dinner after work every day. After dinner, he would stroll around the small park for a few laps before going home.
Moreover, the original owner first met her biological father in the small park.
With such a precondition, she changed her plan temporarily and decided to wait for him in the small park instead of going upstairs directly.
"By the way, Young Master Chu, you can come directly to the small garden across the road from that building later. You'll be able to find me there."
"Okay. That's it for now. See you later."
"See you later." After saying that, Rong Lan hung up the phone without being polite to Chu Hengyuan.
Based on her understanding of Chu Hengyuan during this period, she found that Chu Hengyuan maintained his gentlemanly demeanor extremely well. He would never hang up the phone actively. No matter how long he had to wait, he would definitely wait for the other person to hang up first.
After chatting with Chu Hengyuan, Rong Lan looked at her phone for ten minutes, then decisively got up and took a taxi to a newly discovered place - a plush costume rental shop.
"Boss! Do you have a fox - shaped plush costume?" Rong Lan scanned the densely piled plush heads but didn't find what she wanted, so she simply asked the boss.
Hearing the voice, the boss lifted the curtain of the cubicle and walked out, yawning. With teary eyes, it was obvious that he had just woken up. "Yes, there's a pink fox. It's in that corner. See if it suits you?"
He pointed in the direction of the corner.
Rong Lan had seen that pink fox plush head as soon as she entered. Although the pink fox was very cute, it wasn't the fox she wanted. "I want a fox plush costume with white ears, a red tail, and heterochromatic eyes. Do you have it?"
She described it to the boss according to her original appearance.
The boss yawned again and stroked his stubbly chin. "Your description is too specific. It needs to be custom - made."
"Is this too specific?" Rong Lan doubted her fox identity.
She had just described a general appearance. If she really wanted to be specific, she could say a lot more. For example, she could describe the color of the fur on her body or how beautiful her fox paws were.
"Yes, white ears and a red tail are already very specific, and you even require heterochromatic eyes." The boss said, lazily leaning against the wall. "It's not troublesome to custom - make it, but it's relatively expensive. It can be ready in about ten days."
Rong Lan was silent for a while. Custom - making was probably too late. She needed it now. "Besides that pink fox, do you have any other foxes?"
The pink fox represented a big IP. If she walked around in a pirated plush costume of a big IP, she might easily get eggs thrown at her.
Hearing this, the boss propped his chin and thought for a moment. His gaze fell on the pink fox head he had deliberately displayed. "In front of Lingnabei'er, you actually ask for other fox heads? Isn't Beier cute anymore?"
