Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

I bought him a wheelchair, which was very expensive in that era, as a coming-of-age gift and a farewell gift.

With the wheelchair, he will feel like he has a pair of legs and will no longer have difficulty moving forward as before.

My mother had long been prepared to leave this world, and her love for my father was particularly deep.

Lu Xiao thought that maybe his mother’s love for his father was deeper than for him.

After learning the truth behind the matter, Lu Xiao published the evidence of his parents' divorce in the newspaper and revealed that he had a disabled son.

This revealed the fact that his father had always wanted to cover up, and also caused a misunderstanding in his reputation that he cared about outside.

He moved to Sanshui City with his mother's ashes and belongings.

I used the demolition money to buy a few houses in the High-tech Zone here. The High-tech Zone has few people and many young people, and is far less lively than the old city.

After staying there for a long time, he felt a little bored, so he opened a fruit shop in the old town.

He has carefully checked all the fruits in the store, and found they are of excellent quality, large in size and juicy in texture. He sells them to residents at a price that is not too bad for him.

In fact, it is a good thing, but many people still think the price is too high and would rather spend less to buy those crooked and broken ones.

But he didn't care much about these things. People here didn't know about his previous life. Although his physical condition was often discussed, he was still willing to listen to what people here said.

Talking about him makes him feel that he is still alive in this world and that someone still remembers him.

Even though he was living a life as dull as death, someone would come forward to disturb him and apply for a job in his shabby little shop.

Lu Xiao had observed her for a long time. He knew everything about everyone living here. Why could she change so quickly?

This question popped up in his mind and he couldn't figure it out.

……

Second day

Chengcheng came to the fruit shop again. This time she didn't say anything. She just sat on the empty fruit box without saying a word.

Lu Xiao ignored her and continued with the work in his hands.

He threw away some of the rotten fruit and replaced it with fresh ones.

The waste bucket next to the wheelchair quickly filled up, and he reached in and pulled out a new bucket.

In a short while, all the bad fruits were replaced.

Chengcheng watched him throw all the fruits into the trash can and felt that this man was really different from other people who opened a shop.

Other people would only replace their shoes with new ones when they were obviously damaged, but he replaced them as soon as the skin turned black.

Many of the thrown away fruits were not rotten yet, but he just threw them away without feeling sorry at all.

Cheng Cheng looked at him pushing his car back into the store and pouted, "Can you make money doing business like this?"

"I'm not doing this for money." Lu Xiao stopped his wheelchair and looked over.

Cheng Cheng asked doubtfully, "No, why would you open a store if you don't make money?"

Lu Xiao said nothing, just pushed the wheelchair forward.

I was almost discovered by him last night when I was observing him. Cheng Cheng originally thought it was strange. How could he just appear outside by chance? !

Only after asking the system did I know about his "special abilities".

But shouldn't people with this ability stay in a quieter place? That way their ears won't be so noisy. Why are they staying in this busy city? !

Cheng Cheng didn’t understand. She also didn’t understand this man’s Dubai style.

Just because some fruits turn black doesn’t mean they are inedible, but he just throws away all the fruits with bad skin.

What a pity! No wonder people around him always say he is weird!

The fruit shop's business is sometimes good and sometimes bad. In one morning, Chengcheng sat here and didn't see three customers.

Just sitting down made her feel sleepy. The store was in a good location and the sun could always shine in from the sunny side.

It was so warm that it seemed to hypnotize people and make them fall asleep.

Chengcheng yawned again. She had no idea how many times she had yawned this morning.

Compared to her drowsiness, Lu Xiao was sitting motionless in the wheelchair with his eyes closed as if he was in a trance.

Chengcheng thought he was asleep, so he hunched over and quietly got up and walked out of the store to pick some fruit to eat.

Just as she reached for the bunch of grapes, she heard the man in the room say, "Don't eat them secretly. If you want to eat them, pay first."

Cheng Cheng was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand, and soon said with a smile: "I didn't mean to steal it, I just wanted to wash it for you to eat."

"I will not eat."

"Okay, if you don't eat it, I will."

Cheng Cheng picked a bunch of grapes of similar size, walked into the fruit shop, walked up to him and asked, "Do you have a tap in your shop?"

"No."

"Then I'll take it home and wash it before coming back."

"No need to come."

Cheng Cheng pretended not to hear what he said and left the store without looking back, picking up the bunch of grapes.

After washing it at home, I brought the bowl back to the store to eat.

"Would you like a bite?"

"Why are you here?"

The two of them seemed to be talking about their own things. Cheng Cheng looked at him with a slightly raised lip, "I will stop coming when you agree to let me join the company."

"That's not possible." Lu Xiao concluded.

Chengcheng just threw the grapes in her hand up and caught them with her mouth without paying any attention to him.

There is still a long way to go, and a temporary rejection cannot replace the future.

People, they always change.

……

For several days in a row, Chengcheng ate and drank for free at the fruit shop, and Lu Xiao changed from initially insisting that she pay for her food to later letting her do whatever she wanted.

He guessed that she would get bored staying there and then go back.

But Chengcheng also planned to fight a protracted war with him, trying to break his bottom line every day and frantically testing the edge of his mental defenses.

Gradually, Lu Xiao couldn't cure her anymore. It's easier to ask for help than to send her away. She was really difficult to deal with.

Just when Chengcheng's side was progressing smoothly, new things happened on Zhang's parents' side.

After returning home and finishing lunch, Zhang's mother asked, "What do you think? Are you going to stay in the fruit shop forever and not go out to find a proper job?"

"Mom, I'm going to have a real job soon."

Zhang's mother asked, "Where are you from? What's your job?"

"In a few days you will see me working in the fruit shop downstairs."

"You really want to work in a fruit shop?! I think you might as well work for your second brother-in-law. You don't have to do anything and you can spend your days in leisure."

"Mom, I'm not going. I can't sit still."

The two of them spoke back and forth, sounding like a duet.

Father Zhang said, "How come others can sit still but you can't? You are so pretentious at such a young age."

After hearing this, Cheng Cheng stood up and said angrily: "I don't want to go, but you can't force me to go."

Having said this, she twisted her body and went back to her room.

Suddenly, Zhang's father stopped talking as if his throat was stuck.

After a while, he muttered unhappily, "This girl..."

Zhang Ma sighed and said, "We are doing this for her own good, but she still doesn't understand."

The living room fell into silence. Zhang's father and mother looked at each other. Zhang's mother said, "How about calling our second daughter back to persuade her?"

Father Zhang thought about it and said, "I think it's okay."
