I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 029

It was already 9 PM when Lin Xian checked the time and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll take you home.”

“Okay.”

Yan Xiaoman nodded and sat sideways on the electric scooter.

This scene felt familiar, making Yan Xiaoman a little dazed.

A month ago, it seemed she had coincidentally met Lin Xian at the bus stop and ridden his electric bike, which was how they started to become familiar.

A month later, she was again riding the electric scooter, but this time as his girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoman suddenly asked, “Lin Xian, be honest, was that encounter at the bus stop last time something you deliberately set up?”

Hearing this, Lin Xian couldn’t help but inwardly curl his lip, and against his conscience, he said, “I thought I hid it well, but I didn’t expect you to see through it.”

When facing a girlfriend, one must know when to tell the truth and when to lie.

Sure enough, when Yan Xiaoman heard him admit it, her heart sweetened, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Yan Xiaoman said triumphantly, “Hmph, I knew it!”

“By the way, which residential area do you live in?” Lin Xian asked.

“Green Stream Garden!”

…

After the electric scooter steadily stopped at the entrance of the residential area, Yan Xiaoman got off and instructed, “Lin Xian, wait for my call tomorrow afternoon. We’ll meet at Yida Shopping Mall then.”

“Okay!” Lin Xian nodded.

“Then I’m going home. Be careful on your way back.”

Yan Xiaoman turned to leave, but Lin Xian grabbed her, smiling mischievously, “Yan Xiaoman, have you forgotten a certain step?”

Yan Xiaoman immediately understood what he meant, and her pretty face flushed.

She was panicking now because this was the entrance to her own residential area. If someone she knew saw them, they might tell her parents.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xiaoman glanced around, and after confirming no one was there, she quickly pecked Lin Xian on the cheek.

“I’m going back first!”

With that, she fled into the residential area as if escaping.

Watching her figure disappear into the residential area, Lin Xian turned the electric scooter around, preparing to go home, when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a police uniform walking quickly towards him.

…

Yan Jianhua had just gotten off work when he saw his daughter get off a man’s electric bike at the residential area entrance. The most crucial thing was that his daughter had even actively kissed the other person.

This feeling was like his diligently cultivated and carefully nurtured cabbage suddenly being rooted up by a pig that appeared out of nowhere.

Who could tolerate that?

At this moment, Yan Jianhua’s nose was almost crooked with anger.

Seeing Yan Jianhua walking quickly towards him, Lin Xian was also a little bewildered, asking, “Uncle, is something wrong?”

Yan Jianhua expressionlessly sized up Lin Xian, and his heart slightly relaxed.

Although Lin Xian wasn’t exceptionally handsome, he had clear features, and coupled with his calm demeanor, he made a very good first impression.

What he worried about most was his daughter associating with shady characters. Now that he had observed Lin Xian, he felt a little more at ease, but he was still very angry.

Yan Jianhua spoke, “Is that an electric bike or a motorcycle?”

Hearing this, Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had encountered a traffic police officer checking for unlicensed motorcycles, so he smiled, “Uncle, this is an electric bike.”

This kid certainly wasn’t bad-looking; no wonder he managed to win over his daughter.

Yan Jianhua sternly said, “Don’t be so flippant with me. Get off the bike!”

“Uncle, this really is an electric bike,” Lin Xian said helplessly as he got off the bike.

“ID and driver’s license!”

Lin Xian was instantly dumbfounded. Who the hell rides an electric bike to the park with an ID and driver’s license?

“Didn’t bring them!”

“Didn’t bring them?” Yan Jianhua snorted coldly and questioned, “How old are you this year?”

“No, Uncle, aren’t you checking for motorcycles? I’m in a hurry to go home!” Lin Xian said irritably.

Yan Jianhua said seriously, “Be honest! As a law-abiding citizen, you have the responsibility and obligation to cooperate with our public security department’s work. Age?”

“ 18!”

Lin Xian sighed, only able to admit defeat. However, he always felt something was off. Had the city-wide crackdown started again?

“Name?”

“Lin Xian”

“Occupation?” Yan Jianhua continued to ask.

“Student, just graduated from senior high.”

“Which high school?”

“Experimental No. 1 High School, Class 3.”

Oh, so they were classmates!

Yan Jianhua sneered inwardly and continued to ask, “Which university did you apply to?”

Wait!

They even asked which university he applied to?

Lin Xian finally couldn’t take it anymore and raised an eyebrow, “Uncle, you’re more thorough than a household registration check!”

Yan Jianhua also knew it wasn’t appropriate to ask further, so he sneered, “Given that you are driving an unlicensed electric vehicle and do not have a driver’s license, you are now subject to punishment!”

What the hell…

For a moment, Lin Xian was a little exasperated.

But there was no way to refute it, because now electric bikes, like motorcycles, indeed needed license plates and driver’s licenses.

However, generally, traffic police wouldn’t check electric bikes. Mainly because there were too many electric bikes to check them all.

He hadn’t expected to be so unlucky as to encounter such a meticulous traffic police officer.

Yan Jianhua ordered, “Now, get down and do one hundred push-ups!”

“How many?” Lin Xian was dumbfounded.

“One hundred, quickly!”

Helplessly, Lin Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and start doing push-ups.

The first 20 were easy, but after 20, he began to feel the strain.

If one hundred push-ups were divided into five sets, Lin Xian was confident he could easily complete them, even if divided into three sets.

But doing one hundred in one go, he genuinely couldn’t handle it.

At some point, a circle of elderly people out for a stroll gathered at the entrance of the residential area, watching Lin Xian do push-ups and discussing among themselves.

“Hah, this young man!”

“Young people are so strong.”

“This young man looks familiar, like Old Lin’s grandson.”

“Oh, this young man is really handsome. I remember Old Zhang’s granddaughter is still single; how about introducing them?”

“What nonsense are you talking about! Old Zhang’s granddaughter is 28, and this young man isn’t even 20. It’s not suitable.”

…

After doing a full 60, Lin Xian really couldn’t hold on anymore. He stood up, panting heavily, and waved his hand, “Uncle, I… I really can’t do it anymore.”

Yan Jianhua suppressed a smile and nodded, “Alright, go back. Be careful on your way!”

After doing 60 push-ups in one go, Lin Xian’s hands and feet were weak, and he didn’t want to move while sitting on the electric scooter.

It took him a while to recover before he finally rode the electric scooter home.
