“…”
Liu Ruyan finally couldn't help herself and asked, "By the way, you said this morning that you would come back and explain to me, that, that thing..."
When they went shopping for clothes in the morning, Chen Ya told the proprietress that he was training her to be his girlfriend.
As she spoke, she felt like slapping herself.
Why should we pursue such matters?
If he really thought so, how should I respond?
How could I reject him? After rejecting him, how could I have the nerve to stay by his side?
Thinking of this, she wanted to pull the hair off her head.
"Oh," Chen Ya said, "I thought if I said you were my girlfriend, she would give me a better deal."
"Just for this?" Liu Ruyan tilted her head.
"What else?"
“…”
Liu Ruyan regretted it even more.
"What do you do for a living?"
Chen Ya turned down the volume of the TV, turned around, and looked at her with a puzzled look on his face: "Work?"
Liu Ruyan said nervously, "Because... because... I've never seen you work before."
Chen Ya turned his head lazily. "Do people live for work? No, for freedom. I remember I told you what oath I made when I was born?"
Liu Ruyan remembered that he said he wanted to live as the freest man in the world.
Even though Chen Ya reiterated it, Liu Ruyan chose not to believe it again because babies don't swear.

"The first step towards poverty is to work and then get a salary," Chen Ya said. "Your family is very rich. Does your father earn so much from his salary?"
"Yes." Liu Ruyan said, "Isn't it?"
Chen Ya sat up.
"What's your dad's job?"
"He works very hard," Liu Ruyan said. "He told me that during his hectic time, he flew to three cities in one day. In the morning, he played golf with a client in Shenzhen. At noon, he flew to Haicheng to eat seafood with a client. In the afternoon, he flew to Beijing to have tea with a client. He didn't return home until late at night."
"...Then he really has a hard time." Chen Ya said sarcastically.
"Really?" Liu Ruyan didn't hear it.
Chen Ya suddenly came closer, put a hand on her shoulder, and held her in his arms:
"So, you're a wealthy woman? If I can hook up with you, does that mean I don't have to struggle anymore?"
Liu Ruyan looked down at his hand on her shoulder, then looked up at his face.
Her heart suddenly started beating like a diesel engine.
