Chapter 48

Cui Dake?

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye looked again at the man before him.

It really was Cui Dake.

So before Ding Ding Qiunan, Cui Dake had actually gone through something like this.

Cui Dake was furious, pointing one finger at Bai Lu and then at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

"Bai Lu, if you think I'm not good enough, I think you're not good enough either!"

"You two... you dog man and woman, just you wait!"

033. When a woman pursues a man, there's only a gauze curtain between them; from now on, I'm your partner.

Only after Cui Dake had cycled completely away from the State-Run Restaurant did Bai Lu release her grip.

She picked up the water cup on the table, poured herself a glass, and downed it in one gulp.

"That really scared me to death; I nearly got exposed."

Bai Lu patted her chest with her small hand, muttering to herself.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye put down his chopsticks, looked at her, and said, "Comrade, the act is over; can you leave now?"

"I have no use for your roast duck; safe travels, and I won't see you out."

Hearing Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's words, Bai Lu finally came to her senses.

Yet she wasn't afraid in the least, even speaking earnestly: "Comrade, everything I said just now was the truth."

"They say when a woman pursues a man, there's only a gauze curtain between them; from now on, I am your partner."

"Don't look down on me just because my clothes are ragged."

"Although my family's conditions are ordinary, all this was dressed up specially."

"That snob Cui Dake; I don't want to be partners with him; I'm sick of it."

As if talking to herself, Bai Lu recounted quite a bit about her affairs.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: ...

When a woman pursues a man, there's only a gauze curtain?

I am your partner?

This Bai Lu is actually quite interesting.

And then there's Cui Dake...

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye truly hadn't expected this.

He actually had Cui Dake in his midst.

Judging by his demeanor just now, he'd likely cause trouble again in the future.

While he was still thinking, Bai Lu had already started eating the dishes.

"The braised pork ribs are too greasy."

"The soy-sauce chicken feet are too salty."

"The braised eggplant is too tough."

"In the stir-fried chives with eggs, the chives are old too."

"The tomato and egg soup is passable."

"The best things are just this plain rice and the steamed buns."

Bai Lu critiqued without any courtesy whatsoever.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was stunned.

Bai Lu's thoughts were exactly the same as his own.

If they hadn't just met, he would have thought he was being eavesdropped on.

It seems they share a common language.

The waitress watching them from not far away was already stomping her feet in anger.

Where did that woman come from!

She ruined my good opportunity!

But there's nothing to be done; this must be fate.

If I'd known earlier that the young man didn't have a partner, I should have made my move decisively just now!

Not far away.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye and Bai Lu ate together.

As long as it wasn't being fed to the beasts in the courtyard, he didn't care about this one meal.

Despite Bai Lu's petite and cute appearance, she could eat quite a lot.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye hardly ate anything; she finished it all by herself.

This was nearly like a banquet.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, you're generous enough; I'll treat you to Beibingyang soda." Bai Lu stood up and walked outside.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye smiled and paid for the meal.

This meal cost a total of fifteen yuan and two jiao.

The waitress wanted to say a few more words to him, but Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye left directly.

"What's so good about that woman?"

"Dressed so shabbily, she surely has no job; how can she be better than me!"

The waitress finally couldn't hold back and shot a resentful glare in Bai Lu's direction.

As soon as Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye stepped outside, Bai Lu was already waiting with two bottles of Beibingyang soda.

She handed one directly to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: "This is my treat. Give me the bottle later; I still need to return it for the deposit."

With that said, she began drinking the other bottle.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye accepted the soda.

He had to acknowledge the little girl's kind intention.

A bottle of Beibingyang soda cost ten cents; returning the bottle yielded a three-cent refund.

He took a sip and found the taste quite acceptable.

It was certainly better than the high-sugar, artificially mixed beverages of later generations.

After finishing their drinks, Bai Lu went to the small shop to return the bottles.

She soon ran back cheerfully and said with a smile, "Let's go; we'll head to Houhai to have some fun."

"Do you know how to slide on ice?"

"One look tells me you're an honest fellow; I'll teach you how to slide on ice."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: ...

Did no one ever tell her that she was a bit reckless?

For some reason, this kind of girl actually made Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye feel a stir of attraction.

Since he had nothing else to do anyway, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye decided to follow along and give it a try.

However, upon reaching Houhai, Bai Lu began to regret it.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was an expert; she couldn't possibly compete with him at sliding on ice.

What about fishing?

Bai Lu lost again.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye caught three fish; the largest weighed over three jin, and the smallest over one jin.

As for Bai Lu?

She hadn't caught a single one!

She puffed up her cheeks in anger, looking like a steamed bun.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye found it quite amusing and bought her an ice lolly for ten cents.

Only then did Bai Lu become happy again.

They spent the entire afternoon wandering around the city of Si Jiu.

By dinnertime, Bai Lu said, "Come to my place; I'll treat you to roast duck."
