1410 In Modern Day 8 (1/2)
As an international metropolitan city, there are definitely countless beauties dressed fashionably out on the streets. Even if I don't pay attention to them, I would often find women that catch my attention.
But even so, this person that's inside Lawson is a rare gem. I can't help but steal another look after seeing her.
Her brown-dyed hair cascades down like a waterfall, and two crystal-like accessories hang from her earlobes. Her eyes sparkle, looking as clear and beautiful as the eyes of deers in forests. She has plenty of charisma.
Out of courtesy and habitual shyness, I tear my eyes away from the girl and walk past her to the area where the fridge is.
During this process, I can't help but turn around to take a few more looks, but I suppress my actions to avoid offending her.
Hmm, which ice cream should I buy? I gaze at the transparent sliding door of the coolbox and fall into deep thought.
Recently, the more popular ones are ”Fat Crabs,” ”Iron Cauldron Stew”…
Taking into account my successful ”weight loss” and my need to prevent any rebounds, as well as my tight financial situation at the end of the month, I ultimately chose ”Fat Crabs.”
Then, I go to the neighboring room to get a bottle of chilled CR and a packet of cucumber-flavored potato chips.
All three combined form my supper for the night.
If it was the beginning of the month, I definitely would've bought more. I'll keep them at home and eat them when there's a need. I don't have to go downstairs every time, but there's no need to be so carefree with my expenses now.
CEO Huang had once said: ”Don't let trivialities take up your most important liquidity.”
Without any hesitation, I take my snacks and walk to the counter to stand in line to settle the bill.
At this moment, I suddenly smell a faint fragrance.
In the next second, I turn my head and see the gorgeous beauty walk past two rows of shelves. She smiles and says with her eyes shimmering, ”Can I add you on WeChat?”
?
Me? I arch my arms a little and express my puzzlement in my speech and pose.
I've never had girls ask me for my contact details all my life!
”That's right.” The beauty nods happily and says with a smile, ”Your looks and temperament matches my taste. I want to get to know you.”
If she were to praise me for being handsome or good-looking, I definitely wouldn't have believed her. However, it's not impossible that my looks and temperament matches her tastes.
Maybe she likes my type, right?
For a moment, I understand what it means to be overwhelmed and flattered.
In the next second, I become more wary.
Could it be some multi-level marketing scheme?
Or some honey trap?
As an aficionado of legal shows, a fan of the Legal Report of many years, I am instinctively wary of good things falling into my lap.
Perhaps it's not some multi-level marketing or honey trap… Even if it is, she's just adding me on WeChat. It won't be a problem if I pay more attention in the future… I think for a moment and hurriedly say, ”Alright.”
I turn around and place the bottle of CR on the counter before taking out my phone from my pocket.
However, when I look at that girl again, she has already disappeared.
It's not as if I can't see her. I can still see instances of her back appearing through the cracks of the shelves.
…What about appreciating my looks and temperament… How did you have a change of heart so quickly? Just as this thought flashes through my mind, I heard a chime!
The door of the convenience store opens automatically, and a figure walks in.
It's Officer Deng who had checked on my residence permit in the evening, but he has already changed into casual wear.
He walks to the front desk and tugs at the bottom of his black jacket's bottom. He says to the staff, ”A cup of coffee.”
As he speaks, Officer Deng turns to look at me.
”A-are you footing your bill?”
Before he can finish, he pinches his forehead.
”You are, you are Zhou, Zhou…”
”Zhou Mingrui, Officer Deng. We just met this evening,” I reply with a smile.
