Perfunctory
Lan Lin leaned over and stared at Song Yu as she blankly deleted items from her shopping cart. "Don't you dislike wearing jewelry? I gave you the Cartier bracelet, but I've never seen you wear it once."
"Just think of it as a sudden seizure on my part." Song Yu recalled the man's bare wrist, and his hand speed in deleting the records became noticeably faster.
“Ding-ling-ling…”
Song Yu stared at the computer and picked up the phone without even looking at the display on the screen. "Hello."
"I asked you to approve someone else's friend request. Is it so difficult that it only takes a few seconds?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a direct reprimand.
Song Yu was not surprised to receive this call. She subconsciously clicked "Agree" that day and deleted this person right away. After that, he applied several times, but Song Yu ignored him.
“Do I have to join after applying?”
"Approve your application immediately, don't be willful." Song Qixing hung up the phone without saying anything.
【Transfer 10000】
Song Yu's face immediately turned cold. She returned the transfer and blocked Song Qixing's WeChat and phone numbers.
"Lan Lin, let's go drink together tonight?"
Both of them were tired of going to the bars around the school, so Lan Lin found one of the most popular internet cafes and bars at the moment. It was so crowded that reservations were even required. Lan Lin had wanted to go to this bar for a long time. She had heard that the men there were all very high-quality, so she had wanted to check it out before, and today was the perfect opportunity.
As night fell, the two of them packed up, took a taxi and headed straight to their destination. The bar was located a bit in the suburbs. The owner built it in the middle of a carefully decorated golden wheat field. "Summer on the Wheat Field" was the name of the bar. It was obvious that this was a bar with a very unique style and theme.
Before eight o'clock in the evening, a long line had formed at the door of the bar. The exterior decoration was mostly wooden structure, and the warm light from inside leaked slightly along the corridor on the second floor. Although it was called a bar, Song Yu felt that it was more like a tavern. She touched a handful of wheat next to her, and the plastic feeling on her hands was completely different from the rough and real wheat grains she had touched in person.
While Song Yu was still observing the surrounding environment, Lan Lin had already started scanning the various handsome guys in the team. Such a new bar naturally had a lot of trendy internet celebrities. Even the bar owner would deliberately invite some internet celebrities to visit the store and do marketing promotion for his store.
Lan Lin was amazed at the good looks of the guests and thought that this trip was a good decision and that her careful dressing up had not gone to waste. Song Yu, on the other hand, did not dress up deliberately. She only wore a light-colored tight suspender top with a loose white shirt on the outside, and light denim hot pants on the bottom. Her hair was loosely tied up, and she only put on some light makeup on her face. She looked very relaxed. She came here just to drink today.
"Hey, the man at 3 o'clock behind us." Lan Lin came over and touched her arm deliberately, a smile on his face. "I think he looks pretty wild, what do you think?"
Song Yu turned her head and pretended to glance around casually. Not far from them, there was a man with white hair who was leaning against the railing with his long legs propped up and looking down at his phone. He looked very well-dressed and had a very atmospheric atmosphere. Song Yu only glanced at him for a few seconds and then turned away without interest. She seemed to have run into this man several times in the bar near the school before. "He looks wild and has a lot of fun."
"Do you have any impression of him?" Lan Lin asked curiously, "I actually think he looks familiar too."
"We often go to the restroom in that bar. Haven't you seen us?" Song Yu put away his phone and turned his head to look at Lan Lin with an indescribable expression. "I passed by several times and saw him getting slapped by girls over there."
Lan Lin was choked by the way she looked at people. She didn't turn around to look around, but her observation just now made her realize something, "I feel like there are a lot of familiar faces here from our school."
"What's going on? Isn't this place so far from our school?" Lan Lin took out her phone and started searching. After searching everywhere online, she actually found some clues. "It turns out this bar was opened by several wealthy students from our school. No wonder there are so many acquaintances here."
At this time, the queue that had been motionless finally began to move forward. According to the instructions at the door, one-on-one verification of the appointment QR code was required, and only after success could one enter.
Lan Lin handed the QR code on his phone to the security guard to scan and wanted to go in, but was stopped by the security guard.
"Sorry, you can't go in." The guard stretched out his arms to block Lan Lin.
"Why? We've already made a reservation." Lan Lin glanced inside. "It's not full."
"Sorry." The guard's arm remained motionless. He said expressionlessly, "Today is the first anniversary celebration. Only those who are invited can enter. Obviously, you are not invited."
Lan Lin almost laughed out loud. "Then is there a notice on your reservation homepage? You didn't tell us, so how do we know that only those who are invited can enter today? This is your problem, not ours."
"We did inform you, but maybe you didn't see it clearly."
Song Yu found the store's reservation interface and quickly browsed around. She didn't find any reminder of the first anniversary, so she frowned and showed her phone screen to the security guard, "Where is it written?"
But the guard didn't even glance at them. "I'm sorry, my two guests, but you are not invited today. You really can't come in. You can come back another day."
At this time, the queue at the back was obviously asking questions and complaining because they had been delayed for too long.
"Given the terrible service level and attitude of your store, you really should hold a one-year anniversary celebration. Otherwise, there might not even be a second anniversary." Lan Lin said sarcastically, pulling Song Yu to leave. It was so unlucky.
"Please wait a moment, guests." Suddenly a voice called them from behind. Song Yu turned around and saw that it was the man with dyed white hair whom they had just discussed. He was walking towards them.
The two looked at each other, "What's going on?"
Baimao introduced himself, "My name is Rao Xin, and I'm the manager of Summer in the Wheat Field."
Lan Lin rolled his eyes immediately upon hearing this. As expected, if the boss had such a bad character, how could the store be any good? "If you have something to say, just say it. Your store doesn't welcome customers like us who have made appointments. We need to leave quickly, or we'll be chased away with a broom."
Rao Xin almost couldn't hold back his smile at the naked irony. "I'm sorry, there was a problem with our reservation page that caused today's misunderstanding. Our store has always prioritized customer needs. To express our apology, we will cover all of your expenses today. We hope you can give us another chance."
"real?"
"Yes, we hope you can accept our sincere apologies and give us a chance to make amends." These words were spoken with impeccable sincerity.
Lan Lin hung her bag on her hand, her arms casually crossed over her chest. Hearing this, she raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, her tone slightly raised as she said, "Isn't it because you found out about my account with tens of thousands of followers on social media, and you're afraid I'll expose the disgust I've received from you?"
She shrugged her shoulders and smiled maliciously in a relaxed tone, "You guessed right, because that's what I thought."
Rao Xin forced a smile and said, "So what do you want to do? As long as you don't post anything related to this, we are willing to cooperate. We will punish the staff member just now, and your expenses tonight will be waived."
Lan Lin thought about it and decided that since he had handled the situation so promptly, he should let him off the hook. "Okay, boss, we're all alumni, so we'll give you another chance."
"Okay." Rao Xin was satisfied. "Then this one..." He turned around and looked at Song Yu who had been silent.
Lan Lin didn't mind, so Song Yu certainly wouldn't mind either. She nodded.
Rao Xin said with a smile in his eyes, "It is our honor. Please come in. Everything has been arranged for you."
When passing by the door of the bar, Song Yu took a look and saw that the staff standing in front of the door had been replaced. It seemed that he was really the boss.
After entering, Rao Xin seemed to want to accompany her throughout the whole process, but Song Yu came here to relax today and she didn't want a stranger around. Rao Xin was very tactful and instructed the staff in charge of their area, then left with the excuse that he had something to do.
Lan Lin looked very surprised, "This decoration looks really good, no wonder it's so popular." Then he handed the phone to Song Yu and asked her to take a few photos of him. Later, he would have to post some business photos or something like that on his social media platform to attract some attention.
Halfway through the shoot, Lan Lin went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, while Song Yu sat there drinking. From time to time, someone came to chat with her, but she was not in the mood. Seeing that she was difficult to deal with, those people gradually stopped coming, and she was happy and at ease.
Someone sat down at the seat next to him, and Song Yu didn't even raise his head. "Sorry, someone is sitting there."
After hearing this, the man still sat as steady as a rock. Song Yu looked up and saw Rao Xin who had left and returned.
He shook his phone. "You're the one my dad introduced me to, right? I've been trying to add you as a friend all day, but I couldn't say anything just now. Could you please add me as a friend now?"
Song Yu paused. In fact, she didn't recognize him at first. This man looked very different from the photo Song Qixing sent her. She didn't expect that he would come to her first.
She slowly stroked the rim of the cup with her fingertips. "Are you volunteering?"
"certainly."
Song Yu took the phone and said, "But I don't want to contact someone who was kissing another girl one second and then asked me for his contact information the next second." She opened the friend request and still clicked reject.
Rao Xin glanced at the place where he had just come from and asked, "Did you see it?"
"It's so obvious, it's hard not to see, right?" Song Yu said, "I'm not in the mood to see you play a sentimental role. You can just go tell your dad that it's my problem. I don't care. You're lying."
After hearing this, Rao Xin began to find this matter interesting. From the moment his father gave him the contact information, he knew that the other party was Song Yu, whose name was often mentioned on the school forum.
He was dismissive at first, until he saw her just now. Unexpectedly, the result of taking the initiative was more interesting than he thought.
"What if I say no?"
Song Yu glanced at him mercilessly, "Then you are quite a bitch."
Rao Xin laughed out loud, "You are so direct."
When Lan Lin came back from the bathroom after finishing her makeup, she saw Song Yu and Rao Xin sitting at the bar chatting and drinking. What the hell, it had only been a few minutes, and when did these two become so close?
She walked over and sat down between the two of them without hesitation. Lan Lin was bound to post a message on his social media when he checked in at a place like this. Seeing Lan Lin post one, Song Yu thought about it and took a photo of the bar, adding a small emoji of a toast and posting it.
By the way, she casually flipped through the messages she had received during this period. There were quite a lot of messages, so she picked out a few interesting ones and replied. Xu Qiao also sent her a message two hours ago, asking her if she had any feedback from Yaya on today's class. If so, he would make adjustments accordingly.
Song Yu replied, "No, your class was very good," and then hung up his phone to chat with others.
I waited for two hours for the message, but it came so perfunctorily.
Xu Qiao held the phone in his hand, and for a moment he could not find any other answer except "good". He clicked on the circle of friends and saw the photo sent by Song Yu. There was a man's hand clearly visible at the edge.
He turned off the video on his computer that was showing how to make his hands look better.
This can't go on any longer. Xu Qiao's heart felt as if it was being tightly gripped by a hand. There was almost no place for him by Song Yu's side.
