May 20, 2023, Jingshan City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.

Folding the phone and putting it in her pocket, Cheng Lan raised her head and looked at the bustling streets around her. The neon lights flickered, and the colorful light plated the endless flow of traffic and pedestrians of all shapes and colors below with a busy beauty, and Cheng Lan liked this urban feeling.

Today is "520", there are obviously a lot more couples on the street than in the past, in the eyes of many young people, only one Valentine's Day a year is simply boring, how can this kind of romantic and beneficial day be easily let go?

As a 22-year-old "older" single dog, Cheng Lan watched one couple after another pass by her, although her heart was not broken, but she was not very comfortable. If you put your height of one meter eight and your handsome face in the crowd, although you can't stand out from the crowd, you can't say that you are inconspicuous, why don't you look at yourself from the opposite sex?

looked at the smart bracelet and found that there were still three minutes before the agreed time to meet, Cheng Lan pouted.

"Yu Qing, that kid is really good at picking time, when it's not good to come out to eat at this time, maybe he has ulterior motiv......es," Cheng Lan muttered to herself.

Yu Qing is a close friend of Cheng Lan who met in college, the second grade of Cheng Lan, Cheng Lan met Yu Qing in her freshman year when she was about to graduate, Yu Qing is still in her junior year, although both of them are more outgoing and have a lot of friends, but the two are best friends.

To be honest, Cheng Lan is still a little envious of Yu Qing, not only because he is smarter than himself, but also because he has a younger sister who is studying in the first year of college, and because his family conditions are excellent, his father is a national master of stone carving, and he has a large stone carving factory, and his family assets are over 100 million...... Of course, this kind of envy Cheng Lan will never reveal the slightest bit to his dead friend, if he does this, it will be strange if he is not laughed to death by Yu Qing.

Of course, Yu Qing is not without shortcomings, Yu Qing is a guy who looks quite graceful, the most important thing is that he has a lot of crooked ideas, and there are still one set of them, the black ones can be said to be white, I don't know how many people have been brought into the pit, which is probably why he still can't find a partner on the university campus where the opposite sex is like a cloud.

Thinking about it, Cheng Lan's afterglow saw a figure walking towards him not far away, it was Yu Qing. After a simple greeting, Cheng Lan cut straight to the point: "Where are you?" if you want to fool me, I won't help." ”

Yu Qing: "......"

"It's not me saying, why I finally want to ask you for help when I am so generous, do you know that this will lose me......!

"Okay, is there anything going on, don't you say I'm not down-to-earth, and don't look at what day it is, isn't it a single dog like ours who came out today to find abuse?"

"Harm, it's really okay to ask for your help this time, just because today is half Valentine's Day, I think we single people can't just lose their dignity on this day!

Cheng Lan: ???!

And this kind of operation?

Cheng Lan glanced at Yu Qing suspiciously, "Okay, you kid still have so many ideas, it's useless to talk about it, where can I eat today?"

"The old place, the lantern grilled fish, the square walk up. ”

"Wait. Cheng Lan stopped Yu Qing, who was walking towards the roadside shared electric car, "Don't worry, buy one on the love group first and then go, you can save a lot of money." ”

Cheng Lan is not as good as Yu Qing, the family has never had the concept of saving a little money, Cheng Lan's parents are teachers in a secondary college, although the family is quite wealthy, but his parents pay more attention to saving money, so Cheng Lan has also developed the habit of saving when he can save since he was a child.

Although Yu Qing felt a little crying and laughing, she still sat on a bench on the side of the street with Cheng Lan, opened the Aituan app on her mobile phone, and began to concentrate on group buying and ordering.

"Wait a minute, ......" A minute later, Yu Qing, who was staring at the screen of her mobile phone, suddenly shouted strangely, "What's the situation?"

"Huh?" Cheng Lan poked her head over and looked at Yu Qing's mobile phone interface. I saw that on the interface of the "Flower Lantern Grilled Fish" store of the Aituan app, there was a line of words:

"Due to the hot business and the shortage of dishes, we will not accept new orders before 10:30 tomorrow morning, please understand!"

Cheng Lan: "......"

Yu Qing: "......"

"It seems that there are more people coming out today than we imagined, forget it, let's change it. Cheng Lan said.

Yu Qing replied and changed the interface to the shop of "Hanbu Palace Barbecue", "Eh, we ate this last time, and it was quite ......."

Yu Qing's expression froze as she spoke, because just two seconds ago, the original normal store interface suddenly grayed out, and then a line of words popped up on the mobile phone screen:

"Sorry, our store is temporarily closed due to a power outage due to a short circuit in the store's electrical appliances, so please understand!"

Looking at Yu Qing with black lines on her face, Cheng Lan curiously poked her head over and looked at the phone screen, and then she was also petrified.

Tease me???

"Is this the luck so bad today? I don't believe in evil, and then change it!"

"I'm sorry, due to customer disputes, our store is temporarily closed, and the resumption time is set at another time!"

"Change again!"

"Sorry, please understand that the main course of our restaurant has been temporarily suspended due to the chef being hit by a car!"

Five minutes later......

Cheng Lan and the two changed nearly ten restaurants in a row, "Baa Baa Roast Lamb", "Ji Ah Gong Malatang", "Primary Three Class Skewers", "Pizza for the Winner", "Kentaki Restaurant", ...... All of them have been suspended without exception, for more and more outrageous reasons, and some even have no reason to close directly, as if all the restaurants are avoiding the two of them.

The two of them slowly raised their heads to look at the sky, and several huge question marks appeared above their heads.

Cheng Lan: (╯‵□′)╯(┴─┴!!

Yu Qing:(╯‵□′)╯(┴─┴!!

Who's going to explain!

Ten minutes later, Cheng Lan and Yu Qing sat in a deserted snack bar, there was no air conditioning, the electric fan above their heads was squeaking and turning, and an old TV could no longer be used on the wall where the wallpaper was peeling, and the 86 version of "Journey to the West" was playing in it, but they couldn't hear any sound at all due to the earth-shattering sound of fried rice in the back kitchen.

The two young men with black lines on their faces took a sip of the chilled soy milk in front of them at the same time, and then glanced at each other at the same time, silent.

I always feel like today's incident, it's a bit evil!
