Xu Wennuan did a rough calculation and then raised a finger at Lu Bancheng. "1,000."
Lu Bancheng didn't say anything. He took out his wallet from his pocket and opened it. Only then did he remember that he had given the foreigner all the money he had when he asked him to pretend to be his friend. He only had some change left, which was about a hundred yuan at most.
Lu Bancheng felt dizzy for a moment before he closed his wallet. Just as he was about to tell Xu Wennuan that they were going to find an ATM, he remembered that she had said she would be returning to Lijiang overnight, so he changed his statement into a question. "Are you going back to Lijiang later?"
"Yes." Xu Wennuan nodded.
"Are you looking for a private car?"
Xu Wennuan nodded again.
Lu Bancheng frowned. After a while, he said, "I'm going back to Lijiang later. Why don't you hitch a ride with me?"
After a pause, Lu Bancheng said, "I don't have much cash left in my wallet. I didn't see any ATMs in this old town this afternoon. I'll withdraw some money for you when I get to Lijiang."
She might not be able to hail a private car, and besides him, no one else can help her. Xu Wennuan thought about it and finally nodded. "Okay."
"Wait for me. I'll go say hi to my friend."
Xu Wennuan knew he was referring to the foreigner in the bar, so she acknowledged him softly.
She did not follow Lu Bancheng into the bar. Instead, she stood outside the window and waited for him to come out. Through the window, she could see Lu Bancheng saying goodbye to the foreigner.
After waiting for about five minutes, Lu Bancheng came out of the bar.
He glanced at Xu Wennuan. "Let's go."
Xu Wennuan waited for him to leave before she followed behind him. "Sorry to trouble you."
Lu Bancheng walked in front of her for about a minute before replying, "It's fine."
Xu Wennuan did not speak again, and the two of them walked silently toward the parking lot for a while. When they passed by a restaurant, Lu Bancheng remembered that she had been squatting by the roadside all afternoon and had not eaten dinner. He stopped and said, "I haven't had dinner yet. Why don't we get something to eat before we leave?"
Since I'm a freeloader, I definitely have no objections if I want to eat. But should I wait for him outside?
Lu Bancheng seemed to know what Xu Wennuan was thinking and said, "Why don't you join us?"
"Okay," Xu Wennuan replied and followed him into the restaurant.
The light in the restaurant was much brighter than the light in the bar.
When they sat down across from each other and he lowered his head to look at the menu, Xu Wennuan unintentionally glanced at him. Only then did she see that there were a few scars on his face. Although they had already faded, they were still very obvious, especially at the corner of his lips. Judging from the scars, he seemed to have been seriously injured … Did he get into a fight?
As Xu Wennuan let her imagination run wild, Lu Bancheng lifted his eyelids and looked in her direction. She quickly lowered her head and saw that he had pushed the menu in front of her. "What would you like to eat?"
"I-I'm fine with anything," Xu Wennuan replied as she glanced at the bruise on his face.
Lu Bancheng didn't force her and ordered two more dishes.
…
After dinner, they arrived at the parking lot. He took out his car keys and unlocked it. Out of habit, he was about to open the passenger door for Xu Wennuan, but she reached out and opened the back door first.
