Chapter 4: Has the real agreement been made?
Somewhat surprisingly, he thought Xu Qingman wouldn't reply to his message.
After all, his statement was somewhat abrupt, like that of someone who had never seen the world.
Of course, he was indeed naive and inexperienced.
After thinking for a moment, Su Jie typed a few words: "Sister Man, I see you travel all over the country and even go abroad occasionally. Is it fun?"
Xu Qingman: "How did you know my name was 'Man'?"
Su Jie: "I just opened the transfer window and it showed 'Transfer to (**Man)'."
Xu Qingman: "So that's how it is. I thought you knew me."
Su Jie: "I didn't know you. I just thought you had a great presence and wanted your WeChat. But when I opened your Moments, I found out you're a very successful woman."
Xu Qingman: "On the high-speed train, I saw you searching for 'How to strike up a conversation with a pretty girl without losing your elegance?'"
Upon seeing this, Su Jie couldn't help but blush.
He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't put a privacy screen protector on his phone.
However, he quickly composed himself.
"I've never approached a girl before, so I'm just learning how to do it now."
"It's mainly because you're so beautiful and have such a great presence, Sister Man, that you immediately attracted me."
"Just like I said when I asked you for your WeChat, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
"I'm scared—"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The woman didn't reply for quite a while after the message was sent.
Su Jie felt relaxed and clear-headed, without any hesitation, and said whatever came to mind.
He no longer needs to compromise himself by saying things he has to rack his brains for.
He just wanted to experience Xu Qingman's charms; everyone was open about it, there was no need to hide anything.
The fact that the woman replied to his message earlier means she doesn't dislike him.
As for whether it will work out or not, and what the final result will be?
Only God knows.
At worst, we won't even be able to be friends anymore.
But he doesn't need friends!
As for whether Xu Qingman has a boyfriend or a husband?
He didn't see it on his WeChat Moments.
No further messages were sent.
He had already made his stance clear, and it would be impolite and offensive to continue sending messages before Xu Qingman replied.
About five minutes later, when Su Jie was almost downstairs in the apartment complex where he rented a place, his phone finally vibrated.
Xu Qingman: "Are you really a post-2000s generation?"
Su Jie sent over his ID card directly, "A typical Gen Z!"
Xu Qingman: "Do you know how old I am?"
Holding down the voice message button, Su Jie didn't send any more text messages. "Does it matter?"
Ten seconds later, Xu Qingman also sent a voice message, her voice slightly languid, "You like my older sister, don't you?"
When people from the Xia Kingdom speak, one should not only look at the surface meaning, but also listen to the tone and intonation.
When Xu Qingman said "elder sister," she was not referring to herself, but to an older sister.
Su Jie replied with a smile, "Before I met Sister Man, I always liked girls around my age. But after meeting you, Sister Man, I feel like I've changed."
Xu Qingman asked with a smile, "What has it become?"
Su Jie smiled faintly and said, "My sister is actually a good person; she knows how to care for others."
He could never have said such cheesy love words before.
Now that I have the system, I am full of confidence and can say whatever I want.
As I said before, he's not here to make friends.
Xu Qingman replied slowly, "I don't know how to care for people. Besides having a little money, I can't do anything else."
Su Jie said softly, "Rose doesn't need to grow tall; its lovers will bend down for it."
Xu Qingman didn't quite understand matters of the heart: "Roses don't need to grow tall; lovers will naturally bend down. What does that mean?"
Su Jie explained with a smile, "True love is about mutual appreciation and acceptance. You don't need to deliberately change yourself; the person who loves you will naturally come to embrace you."
Xu Qingman: "You smooth talker, you must have flirted with plenty of other girls before, right?"
Su Jie: "I swear, if I've ever hit on any other girl before Sister Man, may I be hit by a car and die!"
Xu Qingman's voice carried a hint of reproach: "I didn't say anything, why are you making such a ridiculous oath?"
Su Jie asked directly, "Sister Man, I'd like to invite you to dinner tomorrow night!"
Xu Qingman's voice was hesitant, "I just came back from climbing Mount Emei, and I still have a lot of work to do. I don't know if I'll have time?"
"Sister Man—"
Completely naturally, Su Jie instantly switched to the sweet, puppy-dog voice of a couple deeply in love: "You promised me when you left that I would treat you to dinner, and you agreed."
Xu Qingman's voice carried a hint of laughter, "Then see you tomorrow at 5 PM on Chunxi Road!"
Hearing the woman's last words, Su Jie could hardly believe it.
He actually managed to get Xu Qingman to come out?
He just watched some pickup artist videos in the afternoon and did some cramming.
Could it really be a gift from birth?
With a few questions in mind, Su Jie opened the door to his rented apartment, where the living room was a bit messy.
The apartment is a three-bedroom unit, but he only rented one of the rooms.
The room contained only a bed, a cabinet, and a table; there was nothing else. It cost six hundred yuan a month.
Having already made a plan, Su Jie took advantage of the remaining time to tidy up the room.
I threw away everything I didn't need, leaving only a few changes of clothes and a laptop.
"Su Jie, are you moving out?"
Just as he finished tidying up, one of his roommates returned carrying a bag of fruit.
"I've finished cleaning my room, but I won't clean the living room."
Su Jie smiled and nodded, "I don't need the 600 yuan deposit. You guys just need to do the work of tidying up the living room."
As he spoke, he took out a set of keys, "and my electric scooter, that's for you too."
I glanced into the cleaned-up room, and my roommate couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
Su Jie replied, "To the main urban area."
No one dislikes enjoying life; it's just that we didn't have the means before.
Now that he has the means, he will definitely want to move to a better living environment.
But to see things through, he'll stay here for another night.
I'm going to the company tomorrow to quit my job and say goodbye to the past completely.
Carrying his suitcase, Su Jie left the rented apartment where he had lived for more than half a year. Instead of staying in a hotel, he went straight to the Pinshe Youth Foot Bath and Massage Club.
He didn't know if this was the most luxurious foot massage parlor in Dongyang District, but it looked pretty good on Douyin.
The taxi was parked at the entrance. From the outside, it looked rather ordinary, like a hotel.
But once you enter the gate, the true flavor of the place becomes apparent.
What one sees is an overabundance of "glory".
The marble floor gleamed, reflecting the massive chandelier above, adorned with layers of crystal pendants. The light was refracted countless times, shattering into a dazzling golden rain.
Four beautiful greeters in white skirts stood on either side. As soon as they saw someone enter, they smiled and bowed.
Good evening, distinguished guests!
Welcome to Luxury Youth Foot Bath and Massage Club!
