Chapter 1005 The Man Was So Poor that He Couldn’t Even Afford a Mobile Phone
For so many years, he had been eating alone and he was comfortable with it.
This was the second time Long Muyan had eaten with someone else at the same table.
At first, he was a little uncomfortable and nervous.
This time, he was just nervous, but there was no discomfort.
He picked up his chopsticks and looked at the ingredients on the shelf. He picked the ones he had eaten before and put them into the pot.
Hot Pot was Qin Shu’s favourite, so when she ate it, she knew when the ingredients would be cooked, how well the meat would be cooked, and how tender the meat would be.
Mutton was essential for eating hot pot.
After waiting for a while, Qin Shu picked it up with the public chopsticks and put it into an empty bowl in front of Long Muyan. “Don’t just eat vegetables. Try the mutton. It’s very delicious.”
Long Muyan raised his head and looked at the empty bowl in front of him. There were a few pieces of mutton that were steaming hot.
He held his chopsticks tightly and reached in. He picked up the mutton and brought it to his mouth to cool it down. Then, he ate it and felt that it was quite delicious.
Qin Shu put in some mutton rolls and asked him to eat.
She looked up at Long Muyan from time to time and found that he kept drinking water. His lips were in a lighter colour, but now they were red as if he had put on lipstick. “Are you afraid of spicy food?”
Long Muyan took a sip of cold water. “Yes.”
Qin Shu asked him in confusion, “If you’re afraid of spicy food, why are you eating it?” Long Muyan replied with two words, “I want to
eat it.”
Qin Shu had nothing to retort. He wanted to eat it, so he would eat it even if he was afraid of spicy food.
It was just like liking someone. You knew that the person didn’t like you, but you still liked him and wanted to get closer to him. It’s the same.
After eating the hotpot, Qin Shu glanced at the mineral water on the table. The bottles had been emptied by Long Muyan.
When she looked at him again, his eyes were red. His lips were red and slightly swollen as if he had been ravaged by someone. Even he was in such a condition, he still ate quite a lot.
Outside the hotpot restaurant, there was a lively pedestrian street.
Qin Shu continued walking with Long Muyan. She turned her head to look at him. Although he was withdrawn and didn’t speak, his image was very good. He was over 1.85 meters tall and had a slender and well-proportioned figure. He was born in a big aristocratic family and had a noble temperament.
Everyone would turn their head to look at him, those girls who passed by could not help but glance at Long Muyan. Although there were ink-coloured flower marks on his face, his looks had always been very good.
Initially, Long Muyan was just nervous. Now that he was being stared at, he felt very uncomfortable.
Long Muyan, who couldn’t stand being stared at, took the initiative to ask Qin Shu for the first time, “Where are we going?”
Qin Shu smiled at him. “A barbershop.”
While they were talking, Qin Shu brought him to a chain of hair salons.
Long Muyan raised his head and looked at the sign of the barbershop. There was a flashing banner on it, and there was a promotion going on.
Qin Shu said, “Go in.”
Long Muyan retracted his gaze and followed Qin Shu in.
After washing his hair, Long Muyan sat in front of the mirror and stared at himself. His hair was still dripping with water, and he was somewhat used to it.
Qin Shu was talking to the hairdresser about the requirements.
The hairdresser had five years of experience in hairdressing. After listening to the customer’s requirements, he knew the hairstyle that the customer wanted.
After he was ready, the hairdresser took a comb and scissors and started to cut his hair skillfully.
If it was someone else who asked Long Muyan to sit here and have his hair cut, he would not sit there obediently.
However, Qin Shu was different.
No matter how withdrawn a person was, no matter how unwilling he was to speak, he knew what to do.
The barber had rich experience in haircuts. After cutting hair, he would let the customer see what they were not satisfied with and he could trim it.
Long Muyan kept staring at the mirror in front of him. Except for the short bangs, he couldn’t see any changes in the other parts.
He was a little uncomfortable without the long bangs. Qin Shu looked at Long Muyan who had just cut his hair. After cutting his bangs short, his exquisite facial features were exposed. He looked much more refreshing and handsome.
He also trimmed the parts of his hair. The overall feeling was quite good.
It was much better compared to before. “This is good.” Qin Shu paid the money and pulled Long Muyan out of the shop. After they walked out, Long Muyan felt even more uncomfortable. When he faced other people’s gazes, his face, which was originally covered by his bangs, seemed to be completely exposed in front of them.
Qin Shu noticed Long Muyan’s discomfort and said with a smile, “If you feel uncomfortable, just pretend that the pedestrians on the road don’t exist. Treat the street as your backyard and walk on your own.”
Long Muyan turned his head to look at Qin Shu. He pursed his lips and retracted his gaze, trying to pretend that the pedestrians didn’t exist. He ignored the gazes that were looking at him and treated it as a stroll in the sunken wood courtyard. He felt much better after he thought about it. After Ah Yu came out of the long manor, he took a bus to the pedestrian street. Because he wasn’t familiar with this place, it was much more convenient to take a bus.
He passed by several mobile phone stores. He did not even have a mobile phone on him. If he gets a mobile phone to contact her, it would be much more convenient to find her.
Ah Yu looked inside for quite some time, then he turned around and walked back a few steps, entering through the main door.
It was the end of the year now. There were many promotions, and the flow of customers was very good.
When Ah Yu walked in, he immediately attracted the attention of people. All the salespeople had a professional instinct to keep an eye on potential customers who came in through the door. It was the first time they saw such a handsome man, and they could not take his eyes off him for a moment.
The customers who came to buy mobile phones were attracted by Ah Yu’s good looks.
The first to react, the salesperson called out to Ah Yu, “Handsome man, do you want to buy a mobile phone?” The salesperson was a woman who was not even thirty years old. In front of her stood two female customers who were about twenty years old. Following the salesperson’s line of sight, they saw an extremely handsome man walking over and they consciously made way for him.
The man turned his head to look at the salesperson and walked to the counter. He lowered his eyes and looked at the model of the cell phone in the glass cabinet.
“Handsome guy, what kind of cell phone do you want?” The salesperson took out the latest model of the cell phone that had just been released and introduced it. “This cell phone has an extremely large memory. It has 326 gigabytes and 16 gigabytes of running memory. It also has the highest configuration and is very suitable for playing mobile games. “There’s also this photo-taking function, which is also the best of the current phones. The camera uses Leica certification, and the rear uses four cameras. Among them, the 5200 main camera and the movie camera are very outstanding. It uses the IMX700, which has an optical anti-tremble function, and the maximum support is 100 times digital zoom.”
The salesperson finished speaking in one breath and looked at the handsome, charming man in front of him. Her eyes were not only looking forward to him buying this, but also amazed. It was the first time she saw such a handsome customer, and she was a little excited.
If it was someone else, the salesperson would have said all sorts of things, but he didn’t understand what he meant.
After the man heard it, he asked a very realistic question, “How much is it?”
No matter how good the phone’s functions were, how well-equipped it was, how good the mobile game was, it still depended on the money inside his wallets
The salesperson had a professional smile on her face. “15,800 yuan.”
The man nodded. “It’s too expensive. Get a cheaper one.”
