"receive!"
…
"Hey, Chen Ya."
Xia You lay on the bed and spoke softly into the headset microphone, as if Chen Ya was right next to him.
"What's wrong?"
"How about we just sleep with the microphone connected like this? I'm having trouble sleeping right now, and medication isn't helping, but just hearing your voice makes me feel at peace."
"Of course. I need your breath, too."
"Chen Ya, Chen Ya." Xia You called repeatedly.
"Here I am."
Xia You said: "Nietzsche once said that some people are alone not because they like solitude, but because they can't find people like them around them."
“So we were attracted to each other.”
"So we are attracted to each other." Xia You repeated.
Her eyelids drooped and she could hardly resist the sleepiness.
"good evening."
"Love you."
…
the next day.
Lu Qianzi sat in the passenger seat while Lu Ruixiang put on makeup in front of the mirror.
"How do you choose clothes?" Lu Qianzi asked, "Do you prioritize value for money or appearance?"
"Price/performance ratio," Lu Ruixiang said as she applied lipstick, "the lower the price/performance ratio, the better."
"Huh? Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong, Mom?"
Lu Ruixiang closed the hand mirror and said, "This is almost like a blind date. How can I dress like a working man? I have to look presentable."
"Then should we go to STP or China World Trade Center?" Lu Qianzi mentioned the names of two high-end shopping malls.
"Go to Grand Hyatt."
"Hiss—" Lu Qianzi gasped, "That new Beichen-owned place that just opened in Xidan? I heard the prices there are pretty high."
"The budget is 20,000. I'll transfer the money to your card later and you can pay for it." Lu Ruixiang said, "This is to meet a blind date, so it's all necessary investment. If I can take care of the Liu family and solve your brother Chen Hai's problem, the 20,000 will be fully recovered."
"I think 20,000 yuan might not be enough." Lu Qianzi said, "Any piece of clothing over there costs 20,000 yuan."
"Those are on the fourth and fifth floors. The first floor still has those affordable ones that cost a few thousand yuan."
Chen Ya walked out of the gate, wearing a white T-shirt without any labels. The mother and daughter saw him walking towards the car through the glass window.
In the sunlight, his face was clear and transparent, like a sunny boy, except that he wore a pair of big glasses which didn't seem to suit his face shape.
The stepmother sighed in her heart, it was all Chen Sheng’s genes, Chen Hai looked such a handsome young man, while Chen Ya looked so rustic.
It is true that clothes make the man. If her husband had not enlightened her yesterday, if she had shown Chen Ya to the girl from the Liu family like this, she would definitely have looked down on him.
Lu Ruixiang suddenly thought of something, lowered her head and said with a smile:
"I'll take him to the top floor later and let him guess the price. He'll definitely be shocked. I guess he's never been to such a high-end place in his life."
Lu Qianzi also covered her mouth and laughed: "Haha, okay."
