Chapter 1: Pure Money Transactions

"Actually, I can't figure it out."

Luoyang, on the card seat by the floor-to-ceiling window in the café, Lu Xingchuan's right index finger and thumb are compared to the figure "eight" to support his chin, and his elbow is on the armrest of the seat.

"I can't figure anything out."

The wavy girl sitting across from her didn't withdraw her gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window, and her tone of voice responded as if she were talking to the air.

"Everyone else says that there are two kinds of girls who come on a blind date, one is that no one wants, and the other is demanding."

Lu Xingchuan still had a polite smile on his handsome face, "But I think you are the third type." ”

The girl didn't pick him up.

She didn't want to go on a blind date.

Now it seems that the man opposite looks okay, but he is too self-righteous, and looking at his embarrassing appearance of desperately looking for a topic but not agreeing, it is quite decompressing.

She paid for it anyway.

As for the man opposite...... Anyway, everyone won't have an intersection in the future, so why bother with his thoughts?

Lu Xingchuan didn't care about her reaction, "It's the kind of life and work circle that is relatively small, but I didn't find it." ”

The girl still didn't pick up, and even held her chin and turned her head to look out the window.

This is a sign of resistance.

The corners of Lu Xingchuan's mouth twitched, and he reached into his pocket and touched the soft rectangular cardboard box.

He pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, reaching for the ZIPPO Classic Chrome Lighter.

"I hate people smoking." The disgust in the corner of the girl's eyes was undisguised.

"There are only three possibilities for people to quit smoking instantly in this life.

"After the doctor checked his body, he said that if you don't quit smoking, you can go to the cemetery in advance, and the urn and cemetery have risen very expensive recently, so you can enjoy it early if you buy it early.

"I owe a lot of debt, or I need to save money to repay the mortgage, and every penny has to be spent on the blade, and I am reluctant to pay for cigarettes, even if it is only seven yuan and a half of Hongta Mountain.

"Meet a girl who you want to take the initiative to quit smoking for her, in order not to affect her health, and also to make a good impression on her."

Click-

A glimmer of spark flashed on the chrome lighter, and orange flames flaked irregularly.

Lu Xingchuan grabbed the lighter with one hand, stepped forward and turned the brown stalk of the cigarette mouth into bright red.

Click-

Turning off the lighter, Lu Xingchuan shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself, "But the doctor said that I am healthy, and I am not poor to that extent." ”

He took another puff of cigarette, but it didn't go through his lungs.

The girl's face changed, and it was the first time she was looking at the man opposite.

"Everyone came out on a blind date, not to mention those who are vain."

Lu Xingchuan nodded, "I think so too, so I directly said my shortcomings, otherwise I would probably take a shower in advance to wash off the smell of smoke on my fingers, and then I won't smoke all morning." ”

"By the way, what do you do? Is this convenient to ask? "Lu Xingchuan is mainly anti-guest.

"Nurse." The girl sat up straight, proud like a queen, "Three courtyards." ”

"Well, a tertiary hospital, I cut my appendix there before. I heard that nurses over there have to have a bachelor's degree and their height cannot be less than 1.65 meters, is it true? Lu Xingchuan was curious, and pressed out the cigarette in the ashtray and only smoked two puffs of cigarettes that had not yet reached the lungs.

Seeing that Lu Xingchuan didn't react, the girl felt a little unhappy, "What about you?" What do you do. ”

"Me? An unemployed vagrant, otherwise how could he run out on a blind date on Friday, right? People are busy going to work to make money. ”

Lu Xingchuan smiled very warmly, and he was not aggressive at first glance.

"Oh." The girl replied lukewarmly.

The phone rang.

"I'll answer the phone, don't mind." Although she said this, the girl had already answered the phone.

After a while, the girl hung up the phone.

She looked up at Lu Xingchuan, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Do you need me to send you? ”

"The No. 50 bus goes directly from my door, and when I go out, my mother also asked me not to put my monthly pass on the bus."

"You live with your parents?"

"Yes, sister, the house price is so expensive these days, where can I afford it?"

Lu Xingchuan sat still, and smiled lightly at the girl, "Goodbye." ”

The girl got up and walked without the slightest nostalgia, "I don't have to say goodbye." ”

She dropped by to settle the bill and left.

Lu Xingchuan's expression did not change, and he still calmly drank the drink in front of him.

After five minutes, a young man in a suit sitting not far away walked over and sat in front of him, "Niu Wow Lao Lu!" Fortunately, you blocked this blind date for me! ”

This man's name is Li Bo, he is the principal of Lu Xingchuan High School, he used to be a neighbor, and then he moved away when his family became developed, but the relationship between the two is still there.

Although he has all kinds of problems, he has a really good relationship with Lu Xingchuan.

"People are such a beautiful girl, you say you refuse?" Lu Xingchuan was quite curious.

"Tsk, in fact, I'm not interested in this kind of plastic surgery face now, and I've been around me since I was a child, and I'm tired of it." Li Bo smacked his lips, "Now buddies like something special, it's better to look weird." You know the freshness, right? Freshness! ”

"......," Lu Xingchuan yawned, "You rich people's tastes are really unusual. ”

"Let's not talk about it yet, buddy still has something to do, thank you this time, Lao Lu, I'll invite you to dinner another day." Li Bo patted Lu Xingchuan on the shoulder and got up and walked away.

After a while, Lu Xingchuan's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was 10,000 yuan transferred by Li Bo.

[Don't refuse, buddy doesn't like to owe brothers favors. 】

"It's like someone wants to refuse." Lu Xingchuan yawned again and put down his phone.

After sitting for another ten minutes, the phone rang again just as he pulled out his lighter and was about to light a cigarette.

I picked it up and looked at it, it was a person who had a hand-painted cat head.

[Thank you~ My cousin said thank you for helping her block this blind date, and I'll give you 5,000 yuan when I go to look for you tomorrow~ Also, stop smoking!! 】

[No thanks, see you tomorrow.] 】

Lu Xingchuan smiled slightly and replied, and by the way, he stuffed the unlit cigarette back into the cigarette case.

Then the news broadcast rang out in the coffee shop.

"In the final of the 33rd World Cup held last night, the Daxia men's football team defended the Hercules Cup for the third time with a score of 3:0......"

Lu Xingchuan pursed his lips, "Even if I listen to it again after twenty years, it's still the same nonsense......"

He took a sip of his drink, chewed on the fine ice cubes in his mouth, got up and left the café, stepping into the not so cool autumn season.

By the way, we welcome this second new world.
