Volume 1 Chapter 3: The Scruffy Old Man
On the way home, Zhao Meng felt like she had been trapped, why did she just hand over the beer bag to her? Moreover, she said that she was dying, could it be a prank or something...
After arriving home, Zhao Meng, who walked into the living room, saw that his mother was watching TV intently, which made him a little surprised, his mother is not a person who likes to watch TV! Why do you watch TV now...
"Mom..."
"You're back! Come and see, there is another homicide in our county, counting what happened a few days ago, this is already the fifth case. β
"Have you been killed again?"
"Yes, it was a sixteen-year-old female high school student, and her body was found on a relatively remote hill in the North End."
ββ¦β
"You should be careful when you go out in the future! There's been a lot going on lately. β
ββ¦β
Ignoring his mother, Zhao Meng walked towards his room...
After returning to the room, Zhao Meng lay directly on the bed. Looking at the ceiling, he was still thinking about what had just happened, what kind of person was that girl named Jiayuan...
"Ding..."
Zhao Meng's mobile phone rang, and the sound was a prompt tone for receiving a text message. After swiping the screen, he found that it was sent by Jia Yuanβ
γLet's go out for a walk tomorrow!γ γ
[I have something to do tomorrow, so I shouldn't be able to go out!] γ
[Don't, go out for a walk with me!] Go to the edge market that didn't go tonight. γ
[Well, in other words, there are so many places in our city, why do you have to go to Yuanshi? γ
[Don't you know about the edge market? γ
[I am an isolated person, and I haven't been to those bustling places for several years. γ
That's why you're going there! I'll tell you, it's my house! With me by your side, you can do whatever you want! γ
[Do whatever you want? Do you have a misunderstanding of this term? γ
[Don't worry about those details!] Tomorrow at half past eight in the morning, remember to go to the bus stop sign in the neighborhood where you are, I will wait for you there, and then we will go to Yuan City together. γ
[Uh... But I have something to do tomorrow! γ
[That's it, you must not release my pigeon! γ
Looking at Jiayuan's reply, Zhao Meng felt very helpless, didn't this girl listen to others? Why do you always make your own decisions...
Although, there is nothing to do tomorrow, if there is anything, sleep should be counted! However, that's not a valid reason to refuse...
"Well, was it lucky or unfortunate that I met her? I didn't drink at night, and I can't sleep tomorrow, which..."
Thinking about it, Zhao Meng let out a long sigh. If it was my former self, I would be very happy to encounter such a thing. However, it's not the same as it used to be, and now this society has completely deteriorated, maybe she's the kind of girl who is very XX...
The next day, Zhao Meng got up early...
"Why did you wake up so early today?"
Zhao Meng's mother, who was sweeping the floor in the yard, looked at Zhao Meng in great surprise, he hadn't eaten breakfast for several months! Why did you get up so early today, did the sun come out in the west...
"Mom, do you know Yuanshi?"
"Edge? Isn't that the liveliest and most prosperous neighborhood in our city? I've heard that it was founded by a wealthy entrepreneur, and that the neighborhood was named after one of his daughters. As I remember, his daughter seemed to be called..."
"Jiayuan..."
"That's right, it's called Jiayuan! By the way, how do you know this? If you don't leave home, you don't know about the existence of the recently thriving Yuanshi..."
"Nothing."
"You... Are you supposed to..."
"It's not what you think..."
"By the way, what do you want for breakfast?"
"You don't have to do it, I'll go to a nearby breakfast shop to eat."
"The things outside are very unhygienic! Eat it at home. β
"Then it's better not to eat it."
After returning home after breakfast, Zhao Meng opened his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already 8:15, and it was only fifteen minutes away from the agreed time...
After cleaning up for a while, Zhao Meng walked out of the house, and then walked towards the bus stop...
Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Zhao Meng subconsciously lowered his head. He rarely goes out, and he doesn't know when he started, and he always walks looking at the ground. Perhaps, he didn't dare to look at the people or things in front of him! Or maybe you don't want to...
After walking to the bus stop, Zhao Meng opened his mobile phone again and looked at the time, there were still ten minutes before half past eight...
After a minute or two, a person appeared in front of Zhao Meng, who was watching a short video, she was Jia Yuan...
Like last night, she is still wearing a white dress, her hair is floating in the wind, at this moment she looks like a very gentle and gentle Jiangnan woman...
Looking at the good fortune in front of him, Zhao Meng slowly became demented. You're not dreaming, are you? I can be with a girl like a fairy, although I don't know what kind of person she is...
"Zhao Meng... You! At! See! Which! Village! Yes! β
Jia Yuan said angrily with a pout, and then turned to the side with a red face...
"Uh... I didn't look anywhere... I just think you're looking prettier today..."
"Oh? Is it? I can see that Miss Ben is naturally beautiful and captivating, it seems that you still have a little vision! β
Jia Yuan said with a smile, the unpleasantness on her face disappeared in an instant, and then she squeezed out a big smile...
"By the way, are we coming by bus? The bus really wants to come to the station. β
"Uh-huh!"
After getting on the bus, Zhao Meng brushed up the short video again, and it has become his habit to brush the short video, as long as he is free, he will open the mobile phone and brush it...
"Do you enjoy watching these short videos?"
"It's alright! Just pass the time. β
"That's it! Then don't pass the time with this, take me to pass the time! We're all lovers now! β
"Lovers?"
After hearing this word, Zhao Meng's heart fluttered. His mind was racing and he snapped back to what had happened last night, and he had indeed promised to be with her...
"Didn't you promise to be with me? Why, you're going to regret it! β
"Uh... No, am I the kind of person who doesn't keep my word? A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. My words are hard to chase after ten horses. β
"Hahaha, huh? Then we need to get along! β
After hearing Zhao Meng say that ten horses are difficult to chase, Jia Yuan laughed, he didn't expect that he could say such funny things when he looked quite introverted...
"By the way, after arriving in Yuan City, let's go to Disheng City first!"
"Disheng City? What is that? β
"It's the city of Disheng, not the city of Disheng."
"Oh... Is that the name of the store? β
Zhao Meng looked at Jiayuan and asked, it was the first time he had heard this name, maybe he really couldn't keep up with the development of the times...
"There are cosmetics sold there, and famous brand cosmetics from all over the world are sold there!"
"Are you going to buy cosmetics?"
"No, I didn't buy it, I bought it for you."
"Buy it for me? Why buy it for me? I never..."
Before Zhao Meng could finish speaking, Jia Yuan leaned his head over, and then looked at him with round open eyes...
"Look at you, your beard is so long, don't you take care of it? Also, you have several pimples on your face! You haven't used a facial cleanser, have you? β
"Uh..."
"I'll go to the city of Gusheng and buy you a razor, shaving foam and facial cleanser later."
"I... I just haven't shaved in a while, so I'm not going to buy those things..."
"Yes! I can't allow you to be so sloppy with me through the last days of my life. Really, it looks like an old man! β
