Chapter 54 Do you want to become an immortal?
Du Ruo listened quietly, and whenever Li Yu looked at him, he would smile and nod.
Although he heard a kind of arrogance from the other party's self-introduction, he was not sure whether it was the arrogance of the big city or the confidence brought by her original career in finance.
Du Ruo didn't understand finance, nor did he know what the financial circle was like, but with the Internet being so developed now, he had heard a little about it. He also believed that the other party had the capital to be proud of it. After all, not everyone could earn a huge fortune before the age of 30.
This was Du Ruo’s first blind date, so he wasn’t too sure about other people’s blind date procedures, but he wasn’t disgusted by the process this time.
"How long have you been home? Have you adapted to life here?"
After introducing each other, the two began to chat. They both tacitly agreed not to talk about their past. Some things should be judged by themselves, as it would be embarrassing if they were exposed.
"I've been home for more than a month. As for life here, I grew up here, so there's nothing I can't adapt to."
When Li Yu spoke, his back was still straight.
"Have you ever walked around? I've been staying in the village since I came back, and I haven't even climbed Mount Huangshan."
"I'm not interested in hiking or going out for fun. I usually go to the gym or check some financial information."
"I prefer to be close to nature. Climbing mountains can relax my mood."
"Really? If you like, we can go hiking together some other day."
……
As the two chatted, Du Ruo's originally expectant mood slowly began to fade.
There is nothing wrong with Li Yu, whether it is her figure, appearance, family, or personal qualities. I believe that in the eyes of many people, she is a goddess who is high above everyone else.
Almost every word Du Ruo said was a test of Li Yu, and the purpose of the test was very simple.
He wanted to know whether the other party really wanted to stay in his hometown or was reluctant to leave a big city like Shanghai.
Li Yu should also know the purpose of Du Ruo's questioning, so she didn't hide too much. She didn't like living in a town like her hometown, and she was eager to return to the big city.
In this case, there is no need to continue this blind date.
"Shall we go out for dinner later? I know a good restaurant."
Seeing that Du Ruo became more polite and even stopped actively trying to find topics to talk about, Li Yu immediately understood Du Ruo's thoughts and simply stopped being reserved and chose to speak actively.
"No, I have to go back to the village later. It would be inappropriate to go there too late. Let's leave contact information. I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance."
Du Ruo was just being polite. As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. The other person's heart was not here, and he didn't want to live a wandering life outside anymore. The current life was what he was pursuing.
"In fact, I'm quite optimistic about you. You have great potential. If we talk, you don't even have to pay for the house or the car. I can afford them all. I'll cover all your daily expenses. If you want to start a business, I can even provide some funds."
Seeing Du Ruo preparing to leave, Li Yu frowned, did not look at Du Ruo, but stared at the lemonade in his hand and continued to speak.
Du Ruo was a little surprised. The other party was a little anxious and almost said that he wanted Du Ruo to be a gigolo.
"Just kidding, I'm quite satisfied with my current life..."
At this point, Du Ruo suddenly had an idea. He thought of the other party's eagerness and initiative, as well as the milky scent he smelled on the other party before. An idea emerged in Du Ruo's mind.
"Did she just give birth? She needed someone to take the blame, and I just happened to run into her?"
Thinking of this, Du Ruo's mouth twitched, his eyes turned, and he thought of a reason to refuse: "Besides, my expenses are not small. As I just said, my only hobby is martial arts practice, and martial arts practice requires medicinal wine to assist. Most people can't afford my expenses."
"Haha, it's just medicinal wine, how much can it cost? Is ten thousand enough?"
After listening to this, Li Yu looked at Du Ruo and smiled. Although she didn't show it on her face, you could tell from her slightly raised chin that she felt she had already grasped the victory.
"A bottle of medicinal wine costs 200,000 yuan. If you use it sparingly for a month, one bottle will be enough."
While speaking, Du Ruo raised his hand, signaling the waiter to come and pay the bill. He was already ready to leave.
To be honest, if it was just an ordinary blind date, even if Du Ruo was not so satisfied, he would not mind treating the person to a meal, and he would still give the necessary courtesies, but that would not include being a scapegoat.
And judging from Li Yu's attitude, this person who takes over may do more than just taking over.
Who is the father of the child? What is the child's last name? Do they sleep in separate rooms after marriage? Does Li Yu often go on business trips after marriage? Will he occasionally sign up a tour group for Du Ruo to let him travel alone for a few days? These are all big questions. Although it is good to have a free meal, Du Ruo has a very good tooth since he practiced martial arts and likes to eat meat.
"Are you kidding me? You use a bottle of medicinal wine that costs two hundred thousand to practice martial arts? What kind of martial arts are you practicing that requires this kind of medicinal wine? Are you trying to become an immortal?!"
After hearing this, Li Yu looked at Du Ruo again. It was clear from her words that she should have a certain amount of capital. She was not surprised that the medicinal wine cost two hundred thousand yuan a bottle, but she was surprised that Du Ruo actually used such medicinal wine to practice martial arts.
"Hey, Miss Li, I'll treat you to coffee today. Sorry, I have something else to do so I have to leave first."
Du Ruo first said an apology, then drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.
After drinking, Du Ruo put the cup down, but his hand did not leave the cup. Instead, he stretched out three fingers to pinch the coffee cup. A wisp of air attached to Du Ruo's fingers, and then he exerted force with his fingers.
"Kakaka~~"
Du Ruo used three fingers to pinch off a piece of the coffee cup. Not only that, he pinched the piece of cup in his hand, and a slight "crackling" sound was heard. The porcelain piece turned into fine particles and fell on the table.
"Hello sir, what can I do for you?"
Just when Li Yu opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief, a waiter came trotting over and asked Du Ruo something. Because of the angle, he didn't notice Du Ruo pinching the cup just now.
"Pay the bill. Oh, by the way, I didn't hold the cup steady and it knocked over. I'll pay for it all."
Du Ruo smiled at Li Yu and then asked the waiter.
"It's okay sir, as long as you're not hurt, just let me take care of it. The bill is at the front desk, you can go over there yourself."
The waiter did not mention anything about compensation, but pointed to the front desk for Du Ruo, then took out a towel and covered the cup, obviously preparing to clean up immediately.
"Goodbye then."
Du Ruo and Li Yu nodded, then went to the front desk to pay the bill.
When I paid the bill and was about to leave, I saw Li Yu standing at the door with an LV bag on her wrist and the towel that the waiter had just used to wrap the cup in her hand.
"Mr. Du, please leave me your contact information. Thank you for the coffee today. I will treat you next time."
Seeing Du Ruo coming out, Li Yu took two steps forward and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Du Ruo.
At this time, Li Yu's attitude was completely different from before.
