Lin Jie's mouth twitched. His expression was subtle.
If he didn't care about his image, his current expression could only be described as "subway, old man, cellphone.jpg".
He had seen all kinds of customers in the past three years, but he had never seen anyone come up and arm wrestle with him.
After running the store for so long, no, including his time as a university lecturer before he transmigrated, he had never heard of such a strange request …
Would a normal person choose to arm wrestle between the three options of "borrow books, buy books, read books"? Was this appropriate?
This obviously wasn't appropriate.
Out of his instinct as a life coach, Lin Jie felt that there was something fishy about this.
He looked at the girl in front of him again.
She didn't wear any makeup and her skin was very good.
The quality of her clothes was quite good. Her hat seemed to be from a famous brand. The edges of her shoes were stained with mud.
But the footprints on the ground were clean. She must have washed them off at the entrance. The website was m.9biquge. com
From the details, it could be seen that this girl's personal upbringing was quite good.
In particular, it was worth noting that her thick red hair was maintained quite well. It was like the soft fur of an orange cat, making people want to touch it.
From the above, it could be seen that her family was quite well off.
Lin Jie thought back to the girl's expression just now. He could see that she was a bit nervous and disappointed.
He was very sure that she came specifically for his bookstore and not to hide from the rain like Ji Zhixu did.
Then, why would such a well-off girl, who obviously didn't lack for entertainment, suddenly run into his bookstore … and arm wrestle with him?
Lin Jie felt that at the moment, his bookstore didn't have anything special that could attract people to come in the rain.
No, wait.
His number of new customers had increased recently. Could it be that the new customers were promoting him?
Ji Zhixu, Yue Sefu … Yue Sefu?
Lin Jie's eyes suddenly became sharp. He crossed his hands and examined the girl in front of him.
Although it was not obvious, her appearance was similar to Yue Sefu, especially her eyes.
It might be strange to say this, but … although Yue Sefu looked like a tough old man now, it was clear from his facial features that he was definitely a handsome young man when he was young.
Therefore, the correct explanation should be that the girl in front of him had a very high degree of similarity to the Yue Sefu of the youth.
Lin Jie had an intuition that the girl in front of him was definitely related to Yue Sefu.
Unknowingly, he didn't realize that he had been staring at the girl in front of him for nearly a minute.
This kind of deep gaze and silent sizing up brought about an invisible pressure.
Melissa who originally had her hands on the counter with an imposing aura suddenly felt a little guilty, she retracted her hands and placed them on her knees stiffly: "W-what's wrong, arm wrestling shouldn't be too much right, can't I?"
This guy clearly looked very ordinary. Why did he suddenly feel like he had done something wrong?
What was with this … this feeling of being reprimanded by her father for doing something wrong?!
The young girl fell into a state of "opposite = father" vexation.
Lin Jie regained his senses and realized his rudeness, he cleared his throat and said: "Of course arm wrestling is fine, but I have two questions to ask first, is that alright?"
Melissa nodded her head: "What questions?"
Lin Jie extended out a finger: "The first question, you are here because of Yue Sefu right?"
Although it was a question, but it was actually a statement.
Melissa's heart skipped a beat, she never thought that the other party would directly say Yue Sefu's name.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the young man in front of her in shock.
At the same time, the ominous feeling in her heart became even more intense.
"Seems like I was right."
~ Since the two of them are related, then the possibility of them being relatives is extremely high. ~
Lin Jie smiled and shook his finger: "Don't look at me like that, the two of you look rather similar."
Melissa immediately opened her eyes wide, she puffed up her cheeks like a blowfish that had been attacked: "Who looks like him!"
Lin Jie cheered for his increasingly accurate eyesight, ~ Such a rebellious attitude, and the look of disdain in her eyes, they should be father and daughter. ~
~ Sigh, I have seen too many of such situations. ~
The last time was when she was heartbroken from being hurt by a scumbag, and this time was when she ran away from home due to a conflict with her parents.
~ My life as a mentor is truly becoming more and more useful. ~
Melissa was already regretting it.
She already felt that it was not her father who was in the wrong, but her own judgement and curiosity that led her to a bad situation … Of course, it was not a dangerous situation.
But, since the other party was able to know the relationship between her and Yue Sefu, then there was a high possibility that he would report her ….
~ As expected, I Rank Area cannot be barged in, even if you are "friendly". ~
~ But the only thing worth rejoicing about is that the evaluation of "friendly" in the file is correct. ~
Lin Jie then extended out his second finger and asked: "Then the second question, why do you want to arm wrestle with me?"
In truth, if it was just a regular customer asking for help, he would definitely not ask so many questions.
But the person in front of him was a young female customer, and the request was for physical contact.
For his reputation and innocence, he had to be cautious.
~ Don't think that only females will be harassed, boys have to remember to protect themselves when they are outside! ~
~ And to understand the other party's motive for doing such strange things, it will be beneficial for psychological counseling and chicken soup for the other party. ~
Melissa immediately sat upright and still, her gaze straight: "Yue Sefu said before, if you feel uncomfortable because of a certain matter or a certain person, but because of the restrictions or because of your face, you cannot do anything, then find someone to arm wrestle."
“？”
Lin Jie typed out a question, and asked suspiciously: "Why arm wrestle?"
~ Wait a minute, if that's the case, then the reason why Melissa is uncomfortable should be because of the conflict with Yue Sefu. ~
~ And the person who is acting as the punching bag ….. is him? ~
~ Damn it, I take back my words, ~ What a brat. ~
Melissa's face was stern: "The best is to find the person involved, that way you can enjoy the pain, the exasperation and helplessness on his face."
"For such a game activity, if the other party rejects it, they will appear to be timid, and even if they reject it, they can still force it on, and if they end up making a move on me, then I will have a reason to beat them up."
“？？？？？”
Lin Jie felt that he had many questions.
He deeply doubted Yue Sefu's education as a father.
~ As expected, I shouldn't expect a retired soldier with PTSD to have any parenting experience right? ~
"Alright alright, how do we compete."
Lin Jie felt a headache coming on.
~ But since it is just to vent, I will satisfy her, she is such a young girl with thin arms and legs, she should not have any strength. ~
~ Although that's what I said, but I will definitely find a friend to be her partner, to let her vent.
~ But, I have to correct this brat's thoughts. ~
"Two out of three wins."
Melissa said cautiously, then thought to herself, ~ Although the other party isn't as ordinary as I thought, but he should be a scholar or a sorcerer.
~ This Rank I, should be in the aspect of aether, his body is definitely not that strong. ~
The two of them sat at the counter with their hands clasped together, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
~ From what I can feel, it is truly loose, it is only the strength of an adult male. ~
Melissa secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said softly:
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Begin!"
"Pa."
The outcome of the battle was decided.
Melissa stared blankly at her own arm that was pressed onto the counter.
~ How is that possible?! ~
