There is a fraud
While waiting for the offer, Zhou Min was busy and started preparing for the second plan.
In this line of work, there is no tomorrow, and Zhou Min has always been clear about this.
When she clicked on the dedicated contact app, a line of lyrics suddenly popped up in her mind, inappropriately, or rather a bit "hellishly" - "Your gray avatar won't flicker anymore..."
What if they were invisible? Zhou Min tapped the screen with his finger, swiping across the rows of gray avatars, trying to find someone he could talk to.
This, a desperado, has a smaller chance of being alive than Zhou Min being hit by a meteorite;
That one, it was said that he was seriously injured in a previous mission and is unlikely to survive;
Desperadoes, those who are sick and sick but don't know how to live or die, those who have been dead for a year, those who have been dead for five years...
Well, Zhou Min resigned himself to his fate and scrolled back to the top. He picked one of the few lit avatars, clicked on the dialog box, and sent:
"I have something to ask you. It's not to borrow money, nor to repay money."
-
The lights in G City are always bright at night, making the night sky dim and highlighting the prosperity of the world. The overlapping shadows of the streets and alleys are like an extension of the night, densely weaving into the bustling urban area and dividing the glare cast by the neon lights.
In the streets and alleys, Zhou Min amused himself by playing the game of "evaporating when exposed to light". Covered in gloomy darkness, he walked all the way to the deepest darkest place and pushed open the door that separated him from another world.
It's not that sinister underground world, but the kind of world that is too unfriendly to people with social anxiety.
Isn't this a kind of danger?
The noisy voices and blaring music pierced Zhou Min's eardrums, and the colorful lights burned on her body. She was almost shaken and burned by the dense bustle, as if she was really going to turn into a wisp of steam in this space.
Before Zhou Min even took a step, he noticed a sign hanging from the ceiling at the entrance, not outside the door. It was unusual for a bar, a place meant to attract customers, yet it made perfect sense here, a perfect example of contradiction.
"Overnight Tea", Zhou Min stared at the sign and silently recited the name of the bar. She knew it was the title of a song.
"When the day breaks, you can get away."
The lights are out and I turn around
The sky is bright and the crowds are gone, the lights go out and the stage is left. The lyrics are quite appropriate.
In order to better devote herself to the mission, Zhou Min still maintained her sweet girl image today. She wore a light green long-sleeved high-waisted skirt, with her long brown curly hair loose, a strand of which hung down by her ear and rested on the pleats at the neckline, making her look particularly gentle.
Completely ignoring Chen Shu's frightened expression at the bar, Zhou Min slowly approached with a sinister smile.
Chen Shu hesitated to speak, then continued, "Why are you coming to the bar dressed like this?"
Zhou Min's eyes narrowed slightly, but his smile didn't fade as he stared at Chen Shu. There was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said sadly, "You didn't tell me this was a bar. I thought it was a milk tea shop from the name, or at least a teahouse."
"Is drinking tea in the middle of the night justified?" Chen Shu argued, trying to shirk responsibility. Suddenly, he glanced at Zhou Min's clasped hands after he sat down on the table and chuckled jokingly, "You need to wear gloves when you're wearing this?"
"It's not necessary to wear it today."
After saying this, Zhou Min raised his left index finger and pointed at the white tiger on Chen Shu's left arm. He then tapped the back of his right hand through his silk glove, and said with a half-smile: "I always feel like you're taking advantage of me."
There is a fierce tiger in my heart, but I can still smell the roses.
Chen Shu tied her long hair up high today and wore a sleeveless vest. With her heroic features, she looked very dashing, especially the white tiger tattoo on her left arm, which was bold and unrestrained.
Her scalp tightened when she heard that, and she waved her hands hastily, repeatedly emphasizing: "Hey, hey, hey, when I wrote Xiaobai, I didn't know you had written Qiangwei. This is a complete coincidence, a coincidence."
Then Chen Shu awkwardly pulled out the wine list from under the counter, along with a USB drive, and pushed it to Zhou Min's hand, saying flatteringly, "Sister, I'll buy you a drink, and we'll put this behind us, okay?"
"Haha, I was just kidding. How could I let you spend money?" Zhou Min retracted his gaze that wanted to tear Chen Shu alive, raised the corner of his mouth with a sweet smile, put away the USB drive, and looked at the wine list, "I still owe you a lot of money."
Her eyes flicked across the street, finally settling on the soda fountain in the corner. She wondered, "What is this... 'Perfect Mask'?"
Chen Shu did not answer directly. Instead, he turned around and took out the ingredients from the freezer. With his back to Zhou Min, he started mixing the ingredients on his own. When he was cutting the ice, he seemed to have pulled his side abdomen, and his movements froze for a moment.
Zhou Min saw Chen Shu's unnatural movements, frowned slightly, and asked with guilt: "Have you taken orders again?"
When Zhou Min asked Chen Shu to borrow money before, she transferred a large sum of money to Zhou Min without saying a word. Did her life become difficult from then on and she had to go back to her old job?
"No," Chen Shu said, still with his back to Zhou Min, turning his head to the side. "Someone was causing trouble here a few days ago, and I taught him a lesson in private. I accidentally bumped into him."
It doesn't look like a collision. Zhou Min noticed the evasiveness in Chen Shu's words and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "I recently took an order and I left your bank card number."
The implication is that Zhou Min will definitely complete the task, and no matter whether she survives or not, she will definitely pay back the money she owes Chen Shu.
Chen Shu handed Zhou Min a drink with a straw and pink bubbles in his right hand, looked deeply into her dark brown eyes, and said, "After you complete the task, you have to treat me to a meal."
Zhou Min lowered his eyes and said nothing, sipping from the straw. He took another sip, took another sip, and found something was wrong.
Before Zhou Min could raise the question of "how could there be alcohol in soda water" to Chen Shu, Chen Shu winked at her and said, "There's a beautiful woman over there who looked at you several times. I was saying that I'm not the only one who thinks it's weird that you came to the bar dressed like that."
Zhou Min's face would flush even if she drank fermented glutinous rice wine syrup. Her cheeks flushed and her eyes were a little blurry. She turned back following Chen Shu's gaze and met a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes from afar.
Zhou Qiting met her gaze and did not avoid it, just looked at her without hesitation.
She was wearing a red halter dress with a tight waist today. Her skin was as white as cream, and she looked like a drop of blood falling into the snow. Her sudden beauty caught Zhou Min's eyes unexpectedly.
After a moment, Zhou Qiting said something to the girl next to her, then stood up and walked slowly towards Zhou Min, who was still in a daze. At this time, Chen Shu's deliberately lowered voice came to his ears: "I forgot to ask, what was your name this time?"
"Wu Min," Zhou Qiting called out Zhou Min's current name before he even got close, "Are you coming to drink too?"
Then her eyes fell on the light pink soda water bubbling in Zhou Min's hand. Her eyelashes half-closed and the corners of her lips curled silently.
What are you laughing at? I ask you, what are you laughing at? This is wine, this is not just any soda.
Zhou Min came back to his senses, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and swallowed the anger that had arisen from Zhou Qiting's smile. He quickly opened his eyes again, and a bright smile bloomed on his face, which was hot from the fumigation of alcohol: "My friend works here, I came to take a look."
Chen Shu watched Zhou Min's impeccable acting and knew that this woman was someone Zhou Min knew in his current position, so he took the initiative to greet her: "Hello, my name is Chen Shu, and I'm Wu Min's friend."
"Hello, I'm Zhou Qiting." Zhou Qiting responded politely and then looked at Zhou Min.
His gaze briefly passed over the red corners of her eyes and the blush on her cheeks, then he lowered his gaze to look at the wine list and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me what this drink you have? I want to try it too."
Zhou Min relied on his memory and pointed to the column he had just visited. Zhou Qiting's gaze followed the silk-wrapped fingers and fell on the wine list.
"Peach sparkling water?" Zhou Qiting once again looked at the red corners of Zhou Min's eyes, and understood everything in his heart.
ah?
Zhou Min looked carefully and saw that the column clearly said "Peach Sparkling Water". She looked at Chen Shu with disbelief.
I saw the other person lowering his head, wiping the crystal glass that was as shiny as new with a cloth, and occasionally holding it up to admire the light, with an expression of "This is a real glass" on his face.
OK. Zhou Min admitted defeat.
Zhou Qiting looked away from her fingertips and saw Zhou Min biting his straw angrily. She smiled and said, "Then I want a glass of peach sparkling water too."
Zhou Qiting felt that Zhou Min was like a puzzle.
Since the first time he met her, Zhou Yiting always unconsciously wanted to find more clues, whether far or near, and used his eyes to record every frame of the pictures about her, storing them in different categories in his mind, waiting for the day when the clues would connect to reveal the answer.
Just like today, Zhou Yiting carefully wrote down "peach sparkling water" and put it in the same category as "peach gummy candy" as her favorite.
She also blushes easily.
She doesn't seem to like showing her tattoos?
Thinking of the right hand that did not return the handshake that day, Zhou Qiting looked at Zhou Min's silk gloves and raised a small question mark.
"Peach sparkling water." Chen Shu gently put down the cup with his left hand.
Zhou Qiting looked up following Chen Shu's movements and saw the white tiger on the inside of Chen Shuwen's arm. She thought of something and met Chen Shu's gaze.
Chen Shu's eyes were neither friendly nor hostile, and certainly not a declaration of sovereignty, but he was definitely looking at her.
Zhou Qiting raised his eyebrows and asked directly: "Do you know me?"
Chen Shu admitted: "I don't know you, but your name reminds me of a friend of mine with the same last name, Zhou."
Zhou Qiting didn't think much about it and said calmly, "The surname Zhou is quite common."
At this time, Zhou's friend was using a straw to probe the bottom of the glass, drinking the last bit of wine diluted by the melted ice.
Zhou Min was not annoyed when she heard what Chen Shu said. She knew Chen Shu's bad temper and that he liked to do things that made people furious, but he always knew how to do it in moderation, making people want to do it but never getting to the point.
Chen Shu changed the subject and asked curiously, "I wonder what Miss Zhou does for a living? I think you have a lot of temperament."
Zhou Qiting didn't really want to say too much to someone he'd just met, but he still wore a faint smile and said frankly, "I sell calligraphy and paintings."
Zhou Min, who had finished the liquid in the cup, heard it and frowned in thought.
How did Zhou Qiting condense such a vast background as the only daughter of the chairman of Zhou Group into just four words: "a calligrapher and painter"?
Zhou Qiting continued, "My shop is on Cunde Road, and I usually leave it to someone else to manage."
He just said it without thinking, and made it up very neatly. Zhou Min rested his chin on the back of his hand and complained quietly in his heart.
Back and forth, Chen Shu and Zhou Qiting each said some true and false words. Zhou Min was sure that what Chen Shu said was false, while what Zhou Qiting said sounded true. Moreover, she looked at Zhou Min intentionally or unintentionally during the conversation, as if she was deliberately saying it for her to hear.
Yeah, if you say so, then it is.
