"Pfft..."
Perhaps not expecting Shen Yulou to be so blunt, Chi Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Are you mocking my poverty?"
Upon seeing his smile, Shen Yulou also smiled foolishly, a faint blush spreading across her face.
I don't know if it's because I'm shy or happy.
"No, no, no, don't think like that. I won't laugh at others casually."
Chi Yuan shook his head seriously and reached out to take away the empty cup in front of Shen Yulou.
"I just feel that you are too honest, unlike most people I have met."
Having worked as a bartender for so many years, what kind of customers haven't he seen sitting at the bar?
Among them are plenty of show-offs who love to brag after just a drink, with money being the center of their conversation and exorbitant prices being their favorite disguise.
Starting from the center, three steps are inseparable from the stock market, five steps from investment, eight steps from returns, and ten steps from sex.
These outward extensions are a display of their personal charm.
A thousand people, a thousand faces; a hundred different lives.
Whether it's boasting or the truth, Chi Yuan's discerning eye, honed over many years, can tell at a glance.
"Who are the people you've met? Which individuals have you seen?"
"Those people who like to pretend they're rich?"
Shen Yulou propped his head up and leaned his face closer.
"More or less."
Chi Yuan winked at him and gently tapped the cup in his hand.
"Actually, everyone in this world is a cargo."
"Including me."
"It's just that the areas they're covering are different."
Hearing Shen Yulou mutter softly, Chi Yuan, who had been turning his back to put down the wine, continued his actions and soon echoed her words.
"Me too."
Shen Meiren smiled and looked at him teasingly.
"You too? What do you like to pretend to be the most?"
"Loves to show off the most."
Chi Yuan didn't hesitate to make fun of himself, and after wiping the bar counter, he gestured for Shen Yulou to follow him.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
"Okay, thank you."
Shen Yulou also climbed into the back seat of Chi Yuan's car without any hesitation and obediently fastened his seatbelt.
He took the phone from Chi Yuan, entered his home's location into the navigation, and then handed the phone back.
While waiting at the traffic light, Chi Yuan glanced at Shen Yulou playing on his phone through the rearview mirror. Soon, soothing music started playing in the car.
"Actually, electric cars aren't expensive now; you can get one for under 100,000."
"A used car would cost around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Why not consider buying a car? It would be more convenient for commuting."
He made small talk with Shen Yulou while turning the steering wheel to make the car turn around.
"Why would a single person buy a car? I don't like to go out except for going to work."
"Riding a shared bike can also be a form of exercise."
"Besides, twenty or thirty thousand is not a small amount, okay? With that kind of spare money, I would choose to take a train to a faraway place to sketch."
Shen Yulou said he wasn't interested in buying a car, but was more interested in traveling.
"That's fine, different people make different choices."
Chi Yuan kept his eyes fixed on the road conditions, while expressing his respect for Shen Yulou's opinion.
The fact that Shen Yulou can choose to ride a shared bike to work shows that the apartment he rents is quite close to the bar, only a ten-minute drive away.
Goodbye, goodbye!
Seeing the bright smile on the face outside the car window, Chi Yuan rolled down the window.
"Be careful, goodbye."
After Shen Yulou retreated to a safe distance, he rolled up the car window, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
"So sleepy, going home to cuddle with the baby and go to sleep."
Shen Yulou yawned, stretched, and took the baby out of the space.
The wind was strong in late autumn, and it felt chilly on my face.
When you're used to holding things in your hands, suddenly having nothing in your hands leaves you feeling empty.
"Da da!"
The baby hugged his father's head as soon as he came out of the space.
It's so cute, such a sweet and considerate baby, and it even shields its dad from the wind.
Shen Yulou rubbed her nose against the baby's belly, then opened her clothes and wrapped the baby inside.
"Do you know that you are cute?"
Staring at the tiny, adorable little bundle in his arms, Shen Yulou tilted his head.
