Guo Yushuo walked on the street sadly. Nobody would drink canned dark beer before 9 in the morning, except him.
He felt very disoriented.
"Youâve joined a very good university! And you chose a hot major as well!"
"This job is pretty good, work well, you will have a good future!"
"Dude! Sheâs a good girl! Good for taking care of a home!"
"Wenwen, Iâll be good to you. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
â¦
"Little Guo, what about taking your girlfriend to the victory banquet this evening?"
"Ho hoâ¦Is this your girlfriend? Wowâ¦Very good, she seems to be a pretty simple girl. How old is she?"
"Little Guo, I have faith in you, so I have to tell you the truth⦠sheâs not your cup of tea. Youâre a talented and handsome boy in our company and will be attending more banquets and social contact, so itâs important to choose a girl that worthy of you. You are able to make contacts with men in the circle. Yet at the same time, you would have to forge connections with the ladies as well."
â¦
"Why are you learning to paint? You can save the money you earned⦠Clothes? Itâs not necessary. Just put a patch on it."
"Change jobs? Iâm happy with my current work. And the colleagues in the gas station are all good! Oh, I saw one of your colleagues there. Whatâs his name?"
"Did you drink? Donât drink too much, your stomach isnât good. Even if it is expected of you, you should not be like this, OK?"
"Yushuoâ¦I donât know how to dance, so can I not do it? I donât know what theyâre talking about or how to accost their conversation, itâs so awkward⦠can we leave now?"
â¦
"How about calling Little Guo to the weekend meeting? The tigress in my family said it isnât a problem to call him but we better not include his girlfriend⦠What the hell, everyone will go with their spouse, how could she ask Little Guo to join alone? Itâll be so embarrassing."
"Tut, sheâs his true love. None of your business, maybe heâs fond of girls from the countryside! Enjoying the taste of the country."
"Hahahaha!!"
"Iâm going to work! Oh, by the way, Iâve prepared the lunchbox. Have a good rest after lunch! Today I cooked your favorite dish---braised eggplant!"
âI⦠didnât like braised eggplant since long time ago.â

"According to your words, customer, you think your girlfriend isnât good enough, right?"
Distrust, astonishment, then fear and finally reverence followed after pouring out his story⦠He didnât know why he confessed the truth to a stranger⦠especially under such weird conditions.
Maybe this guy was not human.
An urban legend? Or a monstrous immortal or ghost? Guo Yushuo had some thoughts and worried about them. Whereas somehow, he felt more relaxed after pouring out all his stories.
"No⦠Wenwen is good." Guo Yushuo shook his head, "But, people should look forward, rather than march on the spot."
âSeems no difference with the thought that sheâs not good enoughâ¦â
Luo Qiu didnât hold a strong interest towards this new customer. However, he couldnât turn his back on acustomer that comes to the club.
Since he was back from Romania, Boss Luo had started to think about how he could adapt completely to all sorts of customers⦠even considering the sources where the customer came from.
"Since you think she falls behind you, then why donât you forcefully end this relationship?" Luo Qiu began to take on his responsibility of the bossâ¦
About how to tempt potential customers.
"No⦠I still love her," Guo Yushuo said seriously. "I promised her that Iâll be good to her for a lifetime!"
Luo Qiu said without expression, "But obviously youâre struggling in this relationship and even doubting your original promise, arenât you?"
Guo Yushuo seemed to about to answer him but didnât say a word in the end.
Luo Qiu added, "If I have her become suitable as you desire, then will the end result be different?"
âSuitable⦠Yeah, if Wenwen could become aspirant, willing to invest for herself, and more knowledgeable⦠even more gracefulâ¦â
Guo Yushuo couldnât help imagining the ideal girlfriend in his heart, saying with confusion, "Will she?"
"Of course, dear customer, you told all of this because you thought of something like that didnât you?"
"What do I have to pay?"
"First, you can pay one day of your lifespan to have your girlfriend become more interested in something. Do you agree?"
"Only one day?" Guo Yushuo asked inconceivably.
Luo Qiu said calmly, "Itâs about this price just for purely making her interested in some things."
"If it's only one day⦠then Iâm willing!"
"Hope to see you again."

Brother Qiang, nicknamed Mouse Qiang in the society, gave a severe kiss to the 5 red banknotes in his hand, before turning to Ren Ziling with a joyful smile. "Thank you! Feel free to contact me if there are other matters like this next time!"
Ren Ziling frowned suddenly, "Mouse Qiang, stop gambling. Go home more often!"
Mouse Qiang opened his mouth, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth and said, "Fortunetellers said I have good luck this year!"
Ren Ziling shook her head, she couldnât be bothered to say more and went up the stairs of an old building. After climbing 7 floors of stairs, there was no sign of gasping for breath. Then she rang the buzzer.
Soon, an older woman opened it. She gazed at Ren Ziling puzzledly. "Who are you�"
"Hello, is this KingKongâs home?"
"You know my son?"
"Yeah, Iâm his friend, and thereâs something I need his help with."
"Well, heâs sleeping."
â¦
"You are⦠the journalist?"
Across the security door, KingKong frowned. It was obvious and easy for him to recognize the woman, who found his residence. "Whatâs the matter?"
"Whereâs Jiaya?" Ren Ziling came straight to the point, "Lin Geng is still in ICU due to drug abuse, and his secretary fell from the building⦠and now Jiaya is missing. Youâre her bodyguard, so should know some inside information."
"Sorry, you found the wrong person," KingKong said stonily. "Just like you said, Iâm only a worker. As her friend, you even donât know her situation. I merely met her during work so I know even less than you."
After these words, KingKong closed the door directly.
"Mum, if this woman continues knocking at the door, just call the police, that someone is harassing private homes!"
Ren Ziling clearly heard KingKongâs words from outside⦠Those f*ckin words were obviously for her.
Subeditor Ren used to have a testy temperament when she was young but restrained herself to be a good mother these years. Yet, at this moment, she couldnât bear the indifferent treatment of being shut out, opening her eyes wide due to the anger.
"Tut, I donât believe you wonât go out, as if you have no physical needs and need not find a woman! F*ck!!"
Thinking about this, Subeditor Ren called up her boss.
"Yeah! Boss? Iâm requesting for leave today! Why? Do you want to see my period? What, you donât believe this excuse because I used it too many times? Do you believe I will mail my sanitary towels to your home?"
"Yeah, I believe you would do thatâ¦"
