Chapter 68:Act IX: A Secret That Cannot Be Told (2)

On the last weekend of August, Xiang Cai hurried out before school started.

Tan Yiming called him in advance and asked if he should help him move.

Xiang Cai said no, he had very little luggage.

However, Tan Yiming still cheekily drove the car next to Xiang Cai's dormitory.

So, when Xiang Cai walked downstairs, with his two two-foot suitcases and a backpack, he saw Tan Yiming standing next to his silver-gray SUV, talking to the security uncle.

"I'll wait for a while ... and then leave."

"I'm here to pick up someone."

"No, no, no, I'm not a student's parent. I'm only thirty, I'm still young. Do I look like I have such a big child?"

Xiang Cai felt helplessly amused. He walked over to interrupt their conversation: "Security dage, he came to pick me up."

Xiang Cai only had his own manpower to move. He wore a Huawu shirt and his clothes were very thin. He had just moved down two large luggages from upstairs and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The security uncle suddenly realized, looking at Tan Yiming: "Oh, you are a Didi!"

[T/N: Didi = rideshare like Uber or Lyft.]

Tan Yiming: "... No." He said, "Where does Didi need such a big car, I'm a Huolala."

[T/N: Huolala = cargo-moving company.]

Xiang Cai: "..."

Then, 'Master Tan' who was responsible for moving cargo, opened the trunk, and stuffed the two large suitcases from Xiang Cai into the car.

As soon as the door opened, the cold air from the air conditioner blew across his face. Xiang Cai was sweaty and greedily leaned into the rush of air from the outlet.

Tan Yiming raised the temperature a bit in fear of him catching a cold.

Tan Yiming looked at the two boxes and asked, "Where are your other luggages?"

"There is no other luggage." Xiang Cai pointed to the box on the left, "This box is winter clothes", and then pointed to the box on the right. "This box is summer clothes and some sundries. These bedding and heat are only the small ones. The electric kettle, I left for the dormitory."

In other words, the two 24 inch suitcases in front of them contained everything that Xiang Cai owned in the last 11 years.

It was not like moving at all - Tan Yiming's company had organized group building tours, and during a 7-day journey, female colleagues had brought more things than Xiang Cai.

When Xiang Cai saw that Tan Yiming was surprised, he explained: "Our dormitory only has a bed and table each, and the cabinets are narrow, they can only hold so many things. So, I don't buy anything except necessities."

His roommates could move game peripherals one by one, and could buy sets of sneakers and trendy clothes one after the other, because what they couldn't fit in their dormitory could be taken home. But Xiang Cai had no home. He only had a bed, a table, and a cabinet in the dormitory. Every time he saw something he liked in the store, he thought of his limited living space and would eventually leave empty-handed.

"You don't have to worry about it anymore." Tan Yiming looked at him and said gently, "The guest bedroom is very spacious. No matter how many things you have, you can put it down."

After thinking about it, Tan Yiming added: "Even if it can't fit in the guest room, the living room cabinet can be vacated for you."

Xiang Cai removed his eyes, and said nothing.
