Chapter 43: It’s the Best
Chapter 43: The Best
Lin Qin went to the small convenience store near the bus station to buy water. He stood in front of the refrigerator for a while, not because he couldn’t decide which water to buy, but because he was debating how to ask the shop owner for directions later.
He hesitated for quite a while, and the shop owner was already looking at him with confusion. Lin Qin finally took a deep breath, grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge, and walked to the counter to pay.
Sitting at the counter was a young girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, probably still a high school student, scrolling through her phone. When she saw someone coming to pay, she glanced at the water in the customer’s hands and said, "Four yuan."
"Can I use WeChat Pay?" Lin Qin hadn’t brought any cash with him.
"You can. Just scan the QR code on the table," the girl said with a slight look of surprise. She thought this customer’s voice was particularly pleasant, and couldn’t help but want to see what he looked like, so she lifted her head to take a look.
Then the girl froze, thinking she must have been mistaken.
Lin Qin had no idea what was going through the girl’s mind, nor did he realize that he might have been recognized. He pulled out his phone to scan the QR code, and after paying, he noticed the girl staring at him with wide, fiery eyes.
Lin Qin nervously swallowed and took a step back, "Excuse me... do... do you need something?"
The girl, who had been skeptical a moment ago, now noticed the camera behind Lin Qin as he stepped back. She immediately confirmed her hunch and exclaimed excitedly, "You... you’re Lin Qin, aren’t you?"
