The train was tomorrow morning, so he had to stay in Shanghai for one more night.
The main reason he came to this city was to apply for a visa. Now that the visa was done, Lu Zhou took the subway alone and went to Lujiazui.
This area was named after Lu Shen, a Ming Dynasty scholar. It was probably the most prosperous area in China.
As he strolled along the river, Lu Zhou couldn't help but wonder. Maybe Old Master Lu Shen and his ancestors had some sort of relationship?
What if one day his father suddenly found him and told him, "Son, we have an ancestral land deed in Lujiazui, but we didn't want to affect your studies, so we didn't tell you …" or something like that …
Alright, this daydream was a little unrealistic.
I'll have to rely on myself!
Lu Zhou found a KFC nearby and was about to finish his dinner. He felt that the environment was pretty good, so he took a picture of the Oriental Pearl Tower outside the window. He then sent it to his friends to prove that he was here.
He put away his phone and was about to order food when his phone suddenly vibrated.
Lu Zhou took out his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Han Mengqi.
He was a bit confused as to why this girl suddenly contacted him, so he unlocked his phone.
Han Mengqi: [Are you in Shanghai? (question) (question)]
Lu Zhou: [Yeah.]
Han Mengqi: [I'm in Shanghai too! When are you going back?]
Speaking of which, after the winter break, this girl will live at her father's house. Her family's lawsuit is still ongoing.
It's not easy for a child from a divorced family …
Lu Zhou sighed and replied.
[Tomorrow.]
Han Mengqi: [So early … Don't you want to hang out here for a few more days? (sad)]
Lu Zhou: [I have to go back and prepare for the Princeton mathematics conference. I don't have time to hang out. Also, I don't think it's fun here.]
Han Mengqi: [Wait a second …]
Wait a second?
Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment, not understanding what she meant.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the door of the shop suddenly opened and closed. A little girl walked straight over and sat across the table. She propped her chin on her hands and stared at him proudly.
"Humph, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
She was wearing a brown trench coat and a red scarf. This scholarly attire was surprisingly suitable for this little otaku girl. Her fluffy and light ponytail was tied behind her back like the tail of a happy little squirrel.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Lu Zhou had seen the little girl wearing normal clothes. When she was at home, the little girl had been wearing a school uniform over her pajamas. She would occasionally tidy herself up a little. Usually, she would do whatever was convenient.
Lu Zhou: "It's a bit unexpected … What a coincidence! Are you also shopping here? "
Han Mengqi pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "What? It's an accident? No wonder my sister said you don't know how to talk. I'm not shopping. My house is nearby. "
If he wasn't surprised by this, who else would he be surprised by?
Wait a second, is she flaunting her wealth?
Lu Zhou snapped back to reality and was speechless.
Originally, he had some sympathy, but now it was gone.
Han Mengqi glanced at Lu Zhou and pretended to clear her throat. She then said, "Ahem, it must be boring to come to Shanghai alone. Seeing that you've worked so hard to tutor me, I'll take you around this place. Tell me, where do you want to go? I'll take you. "
Lu Zhou: "It's fine, I've already shopped around. I'm going back to the hotel soon."
"Oh, you've already shopped around …" said Han Mengqi. She was a little disappointed as she asked, "Is there nothing you want to buy?"
"Everything here can be bought in Jinling, and it's cheap too," said Lu Zhou. He then casually asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet," said Han Mengqi as she shook her head. She then said, "I was just about to order takeout."
Why can't these rich people hire a nanny? It's not like they have to live in the company every day.
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "Don't eat so much takeout. If no one cooks for you, you can learn to cook yourself. It's not that hard … Dinner is on me, what do you want to eat?"
"Really?" Han Mengqi's eyes lit up. She then said, "Then I want a chicken burger combo!"
"Wait a second," said Lu Zhou as he got up and went to the counter.
Soon after, two combo meals were brought back.
Han Mengqi sat across from Lu Zhou. She bit into her burger while swinging her legs. She chatted with Lu Zhou.
"Oh yeah, speaking of which, my sister is going to Yan University, did you know?"
"I know, why?"
Han Mengqi said, "Aren't you going to stop her? She's going to study abroad. "
Lu Zhou looked at this girl and asked, "Why should I stop her?"
"Because …" said Han Mengqi as she bit her lips. She then asked, "Aren't you my sister's boyfriend?"
Lu Zhou:???
What the hell?
"You've watched too many dramas!" Lu Zhou couldn't find his textbook, so he rolled up the KFC poster and knocked the girl's head. He then said, "What are you thinking about at such a young age? Can't a man and a woman have a pure friendship? "
Han Mengqi was used to Lu Zhou knocking her on the head. She didn't feel anything at all, so she didn't even bother to stare at him. She raised her hand and covered her head as she apologized.
"Ah, I'm sorry … I misunderstood, I'm sorry …"
Although this little girl's personality was a little vile at times, when she did something wrong, she would still apologize honestly.
This was one of the few good things about her apart from being loyal to her friends.
"Go talk to your sister," said Lu Zhou as he threw away the poster. He rolled his eyes and continued to eat his burger.
Sigh, young people nowadays.
Their thoughts are getting more and more impure.
Han Mengqi, "Hey."
Lu Zhou, "What else?"
Han Mengqi stared at Lu Zhou for a while. It was like she was trying to confirm her theory. She then nodded and said, "I suddenly feel like you're alone."
Lu Zhou, "Who?"
"A man called Sensei. He's a character in an anime. He's very strong." Han Mengqi used her empty right hand to make a few random gestures to show how strong he was. "You both have a sister, and …"
The girl looked at the poster on the table vigilantly. She quickly stole it and threw it into the trash can. She stared at Lu Zhou and whispered, "Also, you're both straight men!"
"… Also, you're both straight men!"
Lu Zhou: "…"
She beat around the bush for half a day just to insult me, is this necessary?
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "I don't really understand you guys."
…
After dinner, Lu Zhou and the girl walked around the river. He then sent her home and went back to the hotel alone.
He took a shower and was about to go to sleep when his phone suddenly vibrated.
He took it out and saw that it was from Chen Yushan.
Chen Yushan: [Visa approved? (question)]
Lu Zhou: [Completely OK.]
Chen Yushan: [Haha, good luck on your trip to Princeton, future great mathematician! Good luck! (happy)]
Lu Zhou smiled and typed a reply: [I haven't even boarded the plane yet.]
Also, what the hell, it's not like I'm going to participate in a competition.
Chen Yushan: [I already said it's early. You're going to America as soon as your passport comes in, right? My family is going to Italy in early February, I'm afraid I'll miss it.]
[Okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to sleep, good night!]
Lu Zhou smiled and typed a reply: [Good night.]
He placed his phone on the bedside table and looked at the night view outside the window.
