Chapter 42: The Girl's Thoughts

  Meng Jia is quite elegant and refined, looking like she's always a bit shy, eating slowly and carefully, putting small bites into her mouth.

  Luo Chuan proactively picked some dishes for Meng Jia's bowl, and Meng Jia politely said "thank you". Gu Xinxin stuffed her mouth full of food and said: "No need to be polite, just order whatever you want, after all, it's Luo Chuan brother who is paying the bill."

  Luo Chuan said: "How did you know I was here?"

  Gu Xinxin took a sip of her drink and said: "It was Grandpa who told me, I even called you twice, but you didn't answer, did you change your phone number?"

  Luo Chuan thought to himself in confusion, "How did you know my phone number? After Lu Tianhao bought me a cell phone, I haven't contacted anyone from back home. Ah, it must be the phone number left by Mountain Goat Beard!"

  After some thought, Lou asked anxiously, "Are you used to being here?"

  Gu Xinxin nodded firmly and said, "Here is much better than home, there are more people, and more opportunities to make money. My dream is to open my own clothing store here."

  "But the rent here is too expensive, we don't have enough money, and when we finally save up, who knows how long it'll take!"

  "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, we'll be able to fulfill this wish soon."

  Luo Chuan said: "I think you'd better go back to your hometown, find a good man and get married. It's not easy to make a name for yourself in such a big city, it's not as easy as you think."

  Gu Xinxin said: "I won't marry anyone, if I do, I'll only marry you. Besides, I don't want to go back to the countryside and spend my whole life farming. I, Gu Xinxin, must leave that place."

  Luochuan thought to himself, "I've never thought of marrying you. There's still a large forest outside waiting for me to develop it! Besides, with your temper, whoever marries you will be unlucky!" In fact, Luochuan regarded Xinxin as if she were his own sister, and he didn't have any improper thoughts about her at all.

  After dinner, Luo Chuan sent the two girls back to the basement they rented. Looking at the narrow and dimly lit basement, he felt a inexplicable sadness in his heart.

  He couldn't help but think that they were all of the same age, all women, yet each person's fate was completely different. Cui Zhiqing lived in such a superior environment, but every day she looked so unhappy and willful.

  The two girls in front of me, although they are so poor that they almost have nothing, still face their lives very positively, which is really admirable.

  Before leaving, Luo Chuan gave his only 300 yuan to Gu Xinxin, and the extra money had been deposited into the bank.

  Although Ruo Chuan's salary is quite high now, he still remembers what his grandfather said to him when he was about to leave: "Buy a big house for your old man in the city." Ruo Chuan said, "You can use this money to buy some good food and don't work too hard. If you encounter any difficulties, call me."

  Then, Katsuragi spoke out his own phone number.

  Gu Xinxin happily accepted the 300 yuan and said: "So this is your real phone number, I've been dialing wrong all along. Hmm...I might call you anytime from now on, and you must come visit me, I'll be selling things there all the time."

  "Okay, as long as I have time, I will definitely go see you."

  Gu Xinxin watched as Luo Chuan's figure disappeared into the distance, a happy smile on her face. Meng Jia said: "He's already gone far away, aren't you going back?"

  Gu Xinxin looked at Meng Jia and said: "Isn't it very cool? I didn't lie to you!"

  Meng Jia said: "He is indeed very handsome, but I feel that he doesn't seem to like you very much."

  "He wouldn't have taken me out to eat if he didn't like me, would he? He wouldn't have given me money if he didn't like me. And he even ordered my favorite dish! He must have feelings for me."

  Meng Jia helplessly shook her head, and couldn't help but think that Gu Xinxin, this silly girl, could easily see through other people's hearts, so why couldn't she see through Luo Chuan's heart?!

  Gu Xinxin also knew about Luo Chuan's feelings for her, but she just didn't want to face it. She knew that sooner or later, she would definitely move Luo Chuan and let him accept herself.

  Although she didn't make any money today, Gu Xinxin was still very happy. She finally found Luo Chuan. She hummed a tune happily and then took out a photo of Luo Chuan from her pocket and stuck it on the wall.

  Then stood happily in front of the photo, silly smiling. Meng Jia looked at the photo on the wall and said: "Is the person in the photo Luo Chuan? I don't think it looks like him."

  Gu Xinxin smiled and said: "It's Luo Chuan, but it was a photo taken ten years ago. I had to beg Grandpa Luo for this!"

  "Ah!" Meng Xin looked at the photo on the wall in surprise and said, "Sister, I really admire you. You can still look so happy in a ten-year-old photo."

  Gu Xinxin happily sat down beside Meng Jia and said: "From the time I learned to walk, I've liked him. He's mine, no one else can take him away from me."

  "But personally, I think that if you want to really get Luochuan's attention, it's not enough to just like him in this way. You need to have something that attracts him too."

  Gu Xinxin straightened her waist and back, puffed out her proud chest, and said: "How's my figure? I'm one of the best in the village."

  Meng Jia said: "You won't be thinking of using this to attract Luochuan, will you? This isn't called attracting, I think it's called seducing. Where did you get that idea from? My point is, you need to have your own shining points, let him discover your advantages, and make him unable to leave you."

  Meng Jia paused for a moment, looking at Gu Xinxin's bewildered expression. She knew that Gu Xinxin must not have understood what she meant to convey, so she explained again: "For example, you once said that you wanted to have your own career, be able to support yourself well without relying on anyone, or become a strong woman. I think only then will Luo Chuan be long-lastingly attracted to you."

  Gu Xinxin patted Meng Jia's shoulder and said: "I understand, it means I have to become the popular white rich beauty now, right?"

  Meng Jia smiled and said: "Right, it's about making oneself a white rich beauty, so you won't be afraid of not having men take the initiative to come to your door."

  Gu Xinxin completely agreed with Meng Jia's statement, and she said: "Okay, let the two of us work together to become rich and beautiful. Why don't we first make a plan?"

  "Good!" Meng Jia took out a notebook and a neutral pen, Gu Xinxin said: "First of all, the two of us need to think of ways to save up our first pot of gold, then use the first pot of gold to rent a storefront and sell our own clothes."
