Ch. 194 - Gold Is Everywhere
From the Ferris wheel to the amusement park exit, from the amusement park exit to the taxi on the way back...
Lu Xing and the senior sister did not say another word.
The two of them sat in the back of the taxi, one on the left, one on the right.
The distance between them could still fit three Xiaobais.
The colorful, intoxicating neon lights of the city shone into the car, blurring Lu Xing's silent eyes.
From the time he had stated his profession on the Ferris wheel, the senior sister had not spoken again.
Lu Xing also understood her.
Not everyone can accept their partner having this kind of experience.
Lu Xing gently curved his lips into a silent smile.
This is Haicheng, a brilliant pearl among the countless treasures of the Eastern Empire.
Here, high rise buildings stand tall. Here, it is a world of drunken gold and debauchery.
The rapid development of the times has made it so that the people who stand on the crest of the wave and the people who are thrown off the giant wheel are on the same street, breathing the same air.
When Lu Xing was at his most helpless and desperate, he was not yet sixteen.
He needed a lot, a lot, a lot of money.
At that time, Lu Xing was working part time at a coffee shop. A middle aged man with a scholarly temperament handed him a business card.
The man had said at that time, if you want to make quick money, call the number on the business card.
This could be considered his master, right?
Fate did not give Lu Xing a chance to grow up. At that time, he could only do his best to grab the vine that was handed to him.
From then on, his fate was turned upside down.
Lu Xing only felt that this profession was not glorious, but he had never regretted doing it.
Even if he were given a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand more chances, he would still throw himself into this industry without hesitation.
Making money is business. It is not shameful.
Lu Xing had pawned his emotions and anger to fate's pawnshop in exchange for the most important thing to him.
It was very worth it.
Lu Xing let out an imperceptible sigh, which was scattered in the wind by the speeding car.
He could have totally used his words to coax the senior sister, to beautify his experiences.
Even to say...
He could have not mentioned this past of his at all, just like a "duck" going ashore to marry an honest person, and everything would be calm and peaceful.
But Lu Xing did not want to.
From the time he started this line of work, for every ten sentences he said to a client, nine were sweet lies.
But the senior sister was not his client.
Lu Xing did not want to lie anymore.
'Do as you please.'
Senior sister.
Whether you accept it or not, I do not care.
Lu Xing glanced at the senior sister's slightly cold and trembling arm out of the corner of his eye, and smoothly closed the car window, blocking the night wind from outside.
"Alright, we are here."
The driver uncle stopped by the side of the road at the apartment gate and greeted the two people in the back with a smile.
"Handsome guy, beautiful girl, remember to take your things."
"OK, thanks, bro."
Lu Xing made an OK sign and got out of the car with a smiling face.
The driver uncle was called "bro" by the young man, and he was so happy that he drove away with a single step on the gas.
Leaving only Lu Xing and the senior sister standing silently at the apartment gate.
Lu Xing glanced at the senior sister. She did not speak and turned to walk towards the apartment gate.
Lu Xing stood there with his hands in his pockets, a small monster he had caught at the claw machine today hanging from his wrist.
After taking two steps...
The senior sister looked back at him. "Let us go."
"Oh." Lu Xing followed.
He still had some study materials at the senior sister's house. He might as well take them all now, so there will be no disputes in the future.
Click.
The door opened.
Xiaobai, as if it had long since anticipated it, cheerfully circled around Lu Xing's feet, sniffing and rubbing.
Lu Xing smiled and picked up Xiaobai.
"When you were a stray, you must have been raised by a little dog."
"Otherwise, why do you act like a dog?"
Xiaobai's pupils stared at Lu Xing blankly.
Lu Xing only looked for a few moments and then stopped.
He had learned.
When you are in a relationship, if you have no intention of getting married in the future, it is best not to raise a pet together.
Otherwise, if you break up...
Items can still be divided in two. Do you have to divide the pet in two as well?
People steal dogs when they break up.
Lu Xing did not want the rumor "Lu Xing steals cats" to spread when he broke up.
If he had to raise a pet, it seems that raising a fish is the most cost effective.
When you break up, you can just chop up the fish and cook it. It can be considered a breakup meal.
The senior sister went into the bedroom, not knowing what she was doing. Lu Xing silently packed his things in the living room.
He actually had very few things.
Whether it was from the dilapidated house to the orphanage, or from the orphanage to the hospital room, or from the hospital room to the client's luxurious room...
He had always had very few things.
He was like a passerby in a world hotel, just staying for one night. He came lightly and left lightly.
The things that belonged to him had always been very few.
Lu Xing packed his study materials, put them all in his black schoolbag, and zipped it up.
Xiaobai did not know what Lu Xing was doing, but it seemed to have smelled a hint of an unusual scent. It immediately went to bite Lu Xing's pant leg, stopping him from packing his things.
Lu Xing raised an eyebrow and said with a laugh.
"I am not stealing anything."
"These are all my own things."
Seeing that it could not stop Lu Xing's action, Xiaobai scrambled to the bedroom door and scratched it.
After a moment.
The bedroom door opened.
Liu Qingqing was holding a large pile of documents in her hand. She looked at Lu Xing, who was already wearing his schoolbag in the living room, with surprise.
"Where are you going?"
She anxiously walked to Lu Xing's side and tightly gripped the shoulder strap of his schoolbag. "Where are you going?"
Lu Xing looked at the senior sister's face with a dazed expression.
"Huh?"
What does this mean?
Rustle.
The various documents Liu Qingqing was holding fell to the floor. She saw that the desk she had prepared for Lu Xing was empty.
Is Lu Xing leaving?
Lu Xing is leaving!
The moment this possibility appeared in her mind, her heart was filled with an irrepressible gloom.
Liu Qingqing dropped everything and tightly hugged Lu Xing's arm, the solid feeling instantly pressing against his arm.
"You are going to start something and then abandon it!"
Huh?
Lu Xing was even more dazed.
"What did I start and then abandon?"
For the first time, he found that he simply could not figure out the senior sister's thoughts.
Liu Qingqing's bright eyes instantly filled with tears. She sniffled, trying hard not to cry.
"You, you, you! You are bullying me!"
Liu Qingqing first ran quickly to lock the main door, then squatted down and randomly gathered all the documents in her arms.
She looked up at Lu Xing and said pitifully.
"These are all my property deeds, bank cards, shops, and..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Lu Xing was completely confused.
"Are you showing off your wealth?"
Liu Qingqing: ...
Ahhhhh!
She said very seriously, "I do not know why you are in this line of work, but I think your original intention is to make money, right?"
Liu Qingqing had been with Lu Xing for so long and had never seen him be picky about food, clothing, housing, or transportation.
It had always been that whatever she fed him, he would eat.
That way, she first ruled out that he was in this line of work because of vanity.
Although Liu Qingqing was sitting on the floor, her voice seemed to be ringing in Lu Xing's ear.
"You must have a special need for money, which is why you are doing this."
"This is all my money. See if it is enough."
"If it is not enough, I can still go and borrow from my mom and brother."
Lu Xing was stunned.
Liu Qingqing gripped the corner of Lu Xing's shirt and asked seriously.
"If I had said at that time that I did not care about this matter, you would have definitely thought I was just saying it because I was impulsive, right?"
Lu Xing laughed awkwardly. "How could I?"
'So it is!'
Liu Qingqing let out a sigh of relief and continued.
"This is all my property. I am putting it with you, so you will know that I am not just saying these things because I am impulsive."
"Junior brother, I really, really, really like you."
They say that the economic foundation determines the superstructure.
Liu Qingqing casually took a bank card and stuffed it into Lu Xing's hand, blinking her eyes and saying softly.
"I am putting my economic lifeline in your hands."
"In the future, if I am not good to you, you can not give me money and kick me out to eat from the trash can."
Lu Xing was frozen in place.
Liu Qingqing sat on the floor and hugged Lu Xing's leg like a child acting coquettishly.
"Aiya, just agree with me, just agree with me. Just be with me, just be my boyfriend. Please, please."
Wait!
Liu Qingqing looked at the schoolbag on Lu Xing's back and suddenly asked.
"I was just thinking in the taxi about how much of my assets to give you..."
"You were not thinking in the taxi about how to leave me, were you?"
Lu Xing's toes dug out a castle.
