Zhu Hong was filled with joy but also with embarrassment. When she approached and saw the person sitting there, she didn't have time to retract her expression. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"
She still remembered the man in front of her, mainly because he had a good-looking face, but he was short of money and couldn't afford White Rabbit milk candy, just like those people from the countryside.
Lu Qin was also a little surprised. The way the girl walked over shyly with a red face didn't seem like she was the same person as the man who was so high and mighty in the supply and marketing cooperative.
It turns out that a person can change so much. He has learned a lot.
Seeing their reactions, Aunt Wu looked at Lu Qin and then at Zhu Hong, her tone becoming more excited. "Hey, do you two know each other?"
Could it be a classmate? Then maybe it will work out.
Zhu Hong pulled a chair and sat down opposite him. Her enthusiastic attitude gradually faded and she glanced at him from time to time.
Lu Qin kindly replied, "I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something and saw this comrade."
Hearing this, seeing that Zhu Hong didn't deny it, Aunt Wu couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she smiled and sat down, taking the initiative to introduce her, "My girl, this is Lu Qin, a junior high school graduate. He will be seventeen after the New Year, two years younger than you."
Lu Qin, having received those benefits before, nodded politely and said, "Hello, comrade. I am Lu Qin."
After hearing that he had graduated from junior high school, Zhu Hong finally looked at him with a respectful gaze. "My name is Zhu Hong. Are you from Laishu County?"
Aunt Wu coughed and said, "It's like this. I forgot to mention that Lu Qin is from the brigade next door."
Zhu Hong spoke frankly, "No wonder you're so stingy that you can't afford White Rabbit candy."
Lu: “…” There’s no need to be so direct.
Before he traveled through time, he could buy an entire mall full of candies.
Sensing Aunt Wu's gloomy gaze on him, Lu Qin finished the last sip of water in his bowl and asked, "Aunt, when are you guys going to order?"
It's time for dinner, but he hasn't eaten yet.
Aunt Wu choked and suddenly suspected that he was just here to eat and drink for free.
Ten minutes later, freshly baked big meat buns and three bowls of noodle soup were served.
Facing Aunt Wu's reluctant and distressed gaze, Lu Qin moved the noodle soup in front of him and said, "I won't be polite. You guys can eat too. Don't be polite."
Aunt Wu was speechless. It was undoubtedly a scam.
But since she had already ordered it, it would be difficult for her to have such a luxurious meal once a month. In addition, the chefs in state-owned restaurants had really advanced cooking skills. After tasting it, Aunt Wu almost buried her head in the bowl.
After finishing the meal, Lu Qin was satisfied, radiating a sense of happiness from the inside out. He moved his feet under the table, wanting to leave.
Aunt Wu finished her meal in a few bites and glanced at him quickly. "You two, how about you young people chat among yourselves?"
She meant that she would leave first.
Lu Qin understood.
Precisely because he understood, Lu Qin looked at the person opposite him who was eating noodles and meat buns, and he did not forget that she had peeked at him several times just now. He was afraid that his beauty would bring harm to others, and he could not help but shudder.
He asked knowingly, "Auntie, aren't you free this afternoon?"
Aunt Wu glared at him fiercely: Don’t forget what you promised me!
A minute later, touching his full stomach, Lu Qin had no choice but to watch Aunt Wu leave with great reluctance.
Zhu Hong had a big appetite. After eating the noodles and two large meat buns, she was barely full. She put down her chopsticks, her thick eyebrows still raised, "Who else is in your family?"
The topic changed so quickly that he seemed to think for a moment, "Four or five?"
She frowned, "Is it four or five?"
Afraid that she would continue to pursue the matter, Lu Qin coughed and thought for a moment before confessing honestly, "Actually, Comrade Zhu, I don't have any feelings towards you."
Afraid that she would throw the bowl at him in anger, he explained, "I don't want to be in a relationship for the time being."
Zhu Hong's face changed, and her voice rose involuntarily, "What do you mean? You don't want to be together, but you agreed to have dinner with Aunt Wu here?"
Now that you're here, you say you don't want to be with her. Isn't it because you look down on her and think she's too ordinary when you met her?
Could Lu Qin say he was just greedy for a few candies? After-sales service isn't easy these days.
Feeling her anger about to burst out, Lu Qin hurried to explain.
"Well, Aunt Wu mentioned your request, and I just wanted to see if I look good enough."
This statement is a bit shameless.
Thinking about how this meal came about, in order to show that he was a good person, he quickly continued, "But Comrade Zhu, I heard that you care about your appearance. In fact, you have a very unique look. As long as you put a little more effort into your appearance, you can be as good as those people outside, or even better. Don't be discouraged, you have to have more confidence in yourself."
He finished speaking in a flurry of words.
Lu Qin realized later that in this day and age, talking about her appearance in front of her might be considered a hooligan, which could be said to be a big risk. He was ready to quickly raise his hand to cover his face when she splashed the soup.
But the person opposite was already stunned.
If Zhu Hong heard ordinary people talking about her appearance, she would feel that they were either trying to humiliate her or to please her.
The young man opposite was clean and sunny, with black hair, fair skin, and a pair of upturned and restrained double eyelids. The words that came out of his mouth made people inexplicably believe it.
After not hearing her answer for a long time, Lu Qin looked over. What he said was indeed the truth. In the 21st century, even Dong Shi can become Xi Shi, not to mention her face, which was ordinary but had no fatal flaws.
He used his family's money to start a business and had worked in several fields, including beauty. In order to learn more, he learned a lot of theoretical knowledge and almost vomited from watching videos.
So you can tell at a glance what's wrong with her.
The diamond-shaped feeling on Zhu Hong's face is too strong, the eyebrows have become thicker, the lipstick color is too pink and dark, the hair is stuck to the scalp and tied too tightly, revealing the very contoured face, and the very aggressive expressions that appear at every turn... The combination is not aesthetically pleasing.
To put it simply, her facial treatment not only failed to beautify herself, but instead magnified her flaws.
Noticing that he was observing her face, her anger, which had just subsided, slowly rose again, and she opened her mouth to scold him.
But the next moment, the young man opposite said, "I have a way to change your makeup and thus your appearance. Do you want to try it?"
He suddenly found a way to earn White Rabbit milk candy.
After leaving the state-owned restaurant, Aunt Wu hid behind a wall not far away.
The weather outside was a little cold, and she stamped her feet.
According to Lu Qin's personality, she guessed that they would come out in five minutes at most, so she might be able to get a handful of candy from Lu Qin for her grandson to eat.
Unexpectedly, they had to wait for half an hour, and she was so anxious that the two of them finally came out of the state-owned hotel reluctantly.
Wow, she had never seen Zhu Hong's face smile so brightly. Then she looked at Lu Qin beside him, wondering what he was whispering to her.
Could it be that this is a success? Her eyes lit up. Then her son's job would be no problem.
Aunt Wu walked over impatiently, not caring that they would discover her waiting outside.
Tentatively asked, "Have you two finished eating?"
Lu Qin replied to her, "I'm done eating, Auntie, you haven't left yet."
Aunt Wu looked at the two of them intently, without feeling embarrassed. "I'll leave later. I'm just worried about you."
At this moment, Zhu Hong spoke, looking at Lu Qin, "I have to work this afternoon, so let's meet tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when you're free? I'll treat you to dinner then."
Just when Aunt Wu thought that the man would refuse since the woman was so proactive, she heard a crisp "OK".
Lu Qin likes such straightforward transactions.
Turning to Aunt Wu, Zhu Hong's bright smile faded halfway, and after saying goodbye to her, she went to work.
After this exchange, Aunt Wu suddenly felt a little unsure, "You two, are you done?"
Lu Qin was already thinking about the extra income and was a little slow to react. "Ah? No."
He praised, "Comrade Zhu is really a very straightforward person. We are friends now."
She has a straightforward personality: she always invites people to dinner and asks them what else they want, unlike Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu was confused and noticed his eyes on her. "What's wrong?"
Lu Qin: I hope you can introduce me to a few more good-looking people.
But she said, "It's okay, Auntie, I'll go back first."
