Coming out of the gym, Zhu Maolin pinched his eyebrows and walked blindly on the street. He bought a pack of cigarettes from a convenience store.
Just when he wanted to lit it, he suddenly hesitated.
Stop smoking. Didn’t you say you want to quit smoking? We promised to have a child!
It seemed as if what he had done relieved him.
“Wow! What a waste! Manager, don’t this cigarette cost dozens of yuans!”
“You’re?” Zhu Maolin frowned. The voice I just heard belongs to a woman. With this bunny head, I can’t discern who it is.
It should be someone who recognized me or someone I knew. Otherwise, the speaking tone would be different.
“Little Lu?” Zhu Maolin was a little surprised. He unexpectedly met the girl again, “You… Why are you here?”
Thinking back, this is the third time I met this guy in just a few days. But I don’t think she purposely waited for me here.
She should have been in the outfit for a long time. Otherwise, she would not be drenched like this.
“Part time?”
Little Lu nodded and said as a matter of factly, “Indeed, if I don’t work, there is no way I can pay back the debt. I don’t want those people to approach me again. The pay is not bad despite this outfit. I earn 25 yuan an hour!”
“How long have you been working like this?” Zhu Maolin looked behind Little Lu.
There was a large hot pot chain store. In addition to Little Lu, there were also several others wearing furry bunny outfits nearby.
“Not long, just a few hours.” Little Lu tilted her head and looked at Zhu Maolin at this time, “Manager, why are you here?”
“Right.” Zhu Maolin nodded.
He always felt that this young woman gave off a relaxing vibe. Was it because of her vibrant appearance? Or was there something else?
“Hey! Over there, do you still want your job? Did I pay you to stand on the street and chat with acquaintances?”
A middle-aged woman in a suit walked out of the hot pot restaurant with an ugly expression.
Zhu Maolin looked at it and subconsciously smiled. He appeared quite relaxed.
Probably because the girl didn’t have too much scheming. She worked hard to live in this society. He thought for a while and walked into this hot pot restaurant.
After a while, the middle-aged woman, who just reprimanded Little Lu, approached Little Lu again, looked at Little Lu, and said, “You don’t have to work anymore.”
Little Lu subconsciously looked towards the hot pot restaurant in front of her, only to see Zhu Maolin on the seats near the window. Zhu Maolin had already looked towards her and waved her hand to indicate that she could come over.
She was so uneasy and came. When Little Lu walked to Zhu Maolin, she curiously asked, “Manager, do you know the owner of this store?”
Zhu Maolin was taken aback and suddenly said, “Would you like to change your clothes first?”
“Huh?” Little Lu thought for a while and said, “I guess there is no need? Later, if the boss asks me to send out flyers, I will have to change outfits again. It will be troublesome.”
“It’s up to you if you don’t find it inconvenient.” Zhu Maolin smiled.
“Go ahead.” Zhu Maolin nodded.
Until Little Lu came back again, his mood was surprisingly good, as if he had forgotten a lot of terrible things.
“Manager, why did you suddenly let me eat with you?” Little Lu looked at Zhu Maolin, puzzled.
Zhu Maolin said casually, “If I say that my condition has not been excellent during this period, but I feel relaxed after seeing you for some reason, so I plan to let you accompany me more, do you believe it?”
Little Lu just chuckled, “Manager, you like joking too!”
Zhu Maolin looked out the window and said calmly, “I haven’t smiled for a long time.”
She hadn’t smiled for a long time probably, right?
…
Once upon a time, I promised to tell you a joke every day and coax you to sleep.
