Fake it on a dating show

As soon as the door opened, Lin Xingyue rushed towards Zhao Minglang.

To use a rough description, it was like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, afraid that Zhao Minglang would turn around and run away in the next second.

On the contrary, Zhao Minglang saw that she was rushing too hard, afraid that she would fall, so he stretched out his hand to support her.

Lin Xingyue looked around at the aisle outside the door, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she quickly pulled Zhao Minglang into the room, locked the door behind her back, and dragged her all the way to the innermost corner in a mysterious and sneaky manner. .

Zhao Minglang thought she was going to tell him a big secret.

"Mr. Zhao, do you still remember what you told me before?" Lin Xingyue asked in a low voice.

What was said before?

Zhao Minglang held his breath.

For a moment, she almost thought that Lin Xingyue had exposed her little thoughts.

In addition to apprehension, there is also a little joy.

only a little bit.

Really.

After hearing Lin Xingyue's next words, Zhao Minglang defended himself in his heart with a blank face.

"That's the one... you said you liked me." Lin Xingyue said a little embarrassedly.

Zhao Minglang almost blurted out "do the math".

Luckily she didn't say it directly.

Lin Xingyue then said: "I have cooperated with you, and it has been done twice, can I..."

She blushed, stretched out two fingers, and silently made a counting gesture in front of Zhao Minglang, and asked as tactfully as possible: "Maybe you can raise your salary a bit."

Zhao Minglang: "..." Bai was overjoyed.

The money increase and salary increase was something she said on her own initiative. The little girl has a thin skin, so it is understandable that she is embarrassed to mention it in public.

But Zhao Minglang still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Are you short of money?" Zhao Minglang asked.

Her tone was still very gentle, Lin Xingyue didn't think much, took out her phone and checked the calendar, and explained the truth.

"I have a job this weekend and need to buy new clothes. My friend recommended a set to me, but I don't have enough money on me, including today's original salary. So..."

So I can only hope for the extra salary increase.

"What clothes?" Zhao Minglang asked curiously.

"This is it."

Lin Xingyue took out a photo from her hand. A suit of professional clothes had a price marked on it. It wasn't expensive for Zhao Minglang, but for a little girl who could only wear slippers when she went out, the price was ridiculously high.

"I wear slippers just because I was too anxious to go out and forgot to change my shoes!"

Lin Xingyue blushed, and after hearing Zhao Minglang's suggestion, she had a chance to solve this embarrassing misunderstanding.

"I have to go to the interview first. I don't know much about clothes, so I can only ask my friend to recommend them to me. They are sincerely invited, and I can't go there in sloppy clothes."

This question is a piece of cake for Zhao Minglang: "I'll give you a set. Of course, today's salary will be calculated separately for you."

"No, it's not good." Lin Xingyue resolutely refused, "Just pay me today's wages, and I will find a way for the rest."

"That can be counted in the wages. After all, you cooperated with me twice today, and you performed exceptionally well in the end." Zhao Minglang took a step back and said, taking out his mobile phone to send a message to his assistant.

Lin Xingyue knew that this was just another way of saying it, and she still took advantage of it, so she still shook her head and refused.

Zhao Minglang was defeated by her stubbornness, couldn't help sighing, and put away his phone.

"In short, you only want what you earn from your own labor, right. You are really a naive child."

Lin Xingyue felt that this was probably a sarcasm, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Zhao Minglang touched her head and sighed again.

"I'm praising you."

Zhao Minglang moved closer, and saw those watery eyes through the lens, clean and clear, like a stream in the forest looking to the bottom.

For no reason, she wanted to test the other party further, to see where her bottom line was.

"Since you are willing to act in order to get paid as long as you earn from your labor, then I still have a business here, do you want to do it?"

"What?" Lin Xingyue raised her head to look at her.

"Be my partner." Zhao Minglang approached her, the tip of his nose almost touching the tip of his nose, so close that he could only see each other's eyes and their reflections clearly.

"I don't have a girlfriend, of course I don't have a boyfriend, I haven't even had a stable partner, and I want to fall in love occasionally, and I think you are quite cute, so... how about dating me?"

Zhao Minglang paused, and added: "It's a job that satisfies my personal wishes, and I will pay you accordingly."

Lin Xingyue was stunned for a moment, then looked back at her in a daze for a while, and uttered an out-of-situ question: "Huh?"

Zhao Minglang wondered if she had heard his words.

Soon she was sure that Lin Xingyue did not hear what she was saying.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, can you let me go first?" Lin Xingyue said, "I'll answer the phone first, and there are people knocking on the door all the time."

Only then did Zhao Minglang realize that Lin Xingyue's cell phone was ringing all the time, and the knocking on the door didn't stop.

Lin Xingyue's attention was always on the door and the phone, maybe she thought she was joking again at first.

After venting his breath, Zhao Minglang suddenly felt a little tired, didn't say anything, and took a step back to let Lin Xingyue answer the phone.

Lin Xingyue glanced at her worriedly, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Seeing Zhao Minglang shaking her head, she went to the other side to answer the phone in doubt, and looked back from time to time.

Zhao Minglang stood leaning against the wall for a while, raised his hand only to find that his palm was full of sweat.

She didn't expect that she would be so nervous, and when she raised her head to meet Lin Xingyue's gaze, she wanted to laugh again.

I said just now not to do things that would cause people to misunderstand, but in the end I broke the oath first.

Good thing she didn't hear it.

Or as a joke.

Zhao Minglang regained his composure, went to the door to open it, opened the door and saw two girls standing outside.

They all looked older than Lin Xingyue, with short hair reaching to the ears, who would call for someone carelessly when the door opened, obviously a lively and outgoing person.

The other followed behind, clutching the phone, with long straight black hair reaching to his waist, looking much quieter, and greeting Zhao Minglang politely when meeting people.

"Hi Mr. Zhao, we are Lin Xingyue's friends. We heard that she is here, so we came to look for her."

Zhao Minglang recalled that these two were the friends Lin Xingyue had called before.Both of them were more active, so they were assigned to the front row, and they didn't come back with the staff until the live broadcast ended.

The one with short hair is called Qi Siyu, and the one with long hair is called Gu Wanqi.

Lin Xingyue hung up the phone, and when she came out, she smiled when she saw them, and she seemed to have a good relationship.

"Xingyue, let's go back." Qi Siyu waved to Lin Xingyue, "Brother Liao said to sing karaoke at night, we still have half a day's work time when we go back."

"Wait a while, the wages here haven't been settled yet." Lin Xingyue whispered.

"Hey, how could it be? Didn't they post it immediately after the show?" Qi Siyu was a little surprised, "They couldn't be targeting you on purpose."

"Siyu." Gu Wanqi coughed, signaling Qi Siyu not to talk nonsense in front of others.

Qi Siyu was not that well-informed, and he was not sensitive to people and things. He didn't know Zhao Minglang's identity, and he just closed his mouth after scratching his hair because he felt embarrassed because he said some inappropriate words.

Lin Xingyue looked at Zhao Minglang with some embarrassment.

Zhao Minglang glanced at her two friends, stood a little further away and waved to Lin Xingyue.

"Come with me, and I will take you to find someone to ask."

Zhao Minglang led Lin Xingyue downstairs, and when he reached the elevator entrance, he reached out to help her block the elevator door, and entered after a step behind.

Qi Siyu didn't notice this, and just muttered a few worried words like "It's so slow", "Xingyue will be fine".

Gu Wanqi turned a deaf ear to the noise around her, staring thoughtfully at the closed elevator door.

"Xingyue and Mr. Zhao seem to have a good relationship." Gu Wanqi said suddenly.

"Ah? Is there?" Qi Siyu couldn't tell.

Gu Wanqi smiled and said nothing more.

Zhao Minglang took Lin Xingyue to the outer balcony at the end of the corridor on the next floor.

The wind at the end of spring is already a little warm, but it is still pleasant.Lin Xingyue stopped after taking a step into the balcony, hugged the door frame to death and refused to go any further, and soon began to sweat.

"Are you afraid of heights?"

Lin Xingyue pursed her lips and nodded.

She thought Zhao Minglang would joke a few words, but in fact he didn't.Zhao Minglang led her back to the corridor almost immediately, and opened a door casually to enter.

"Before, I told the people over there to pay your salary later." Zhao Minglang explained, "Because the latter is all my idea, your salary will be taken from my account. Are you in a hurry to go back now?"

Lin Xingyue stood at the door of the room, her complexion improved a little, she shook her head: "I've taken a whole day's leave, it doesn't matter if I don't go back in the afternoon."

"I've already asked someone to transfer the money and make an order for you." Zhao Minglang patted the seat next to him, "Sit with me for a while before that? Maybe we won't see you later."

When Lin Xingyue heard the last sentence, she sat down and didn't refute anything.

"Are those two your friends?" Zhao Minglang asked.

"Yeah." Lin Xingyue nodded, "They worked in restaurants with me. Thanks to Siyu for taking me in after I ran away from home, she even took me to work at her place of work, including food and lodging, otherwise I was starving to death on the street."

He showed a pitiful expression like a puppy again.

Zhao Minglang raised his eyebrows: "Run away from home?"

Lin Xingyue was stunned for a moment: "Did I tell you?"

"uh-huh."

"I didn't say that." Lin Xingyue pouted and pretended to be stupid, "You misheard."

It looked like it was about to bite if it was stimulated again.

Zhao Minglang laughed, nodded perfunctorily, pretending not to notice anything, and then asked: "Your suit was recommended to you by that surname Gu?"

Lin Xingyue was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

"Then you guessed it right." Zhao Minglang said, "It's just that she knows how to wear clothes, so I guessed it casually."

Of course this is not true.

Zhao Minglang is not very willing to get close to that girl named Gu Wanqi, the other person has a faint sour smell, not like the fresh smell of ordinary young girls, others may think she is beautiful and polite when they see her, but for Zhao Minglang who recognizes people by smell For some people, it is simply hell on earth.

Therefore, she was not very willing to get close to the other party, so she deliberately brought Lin Xingyue to the side to talk.

But Lin Xingyue didn't know about it.

"She is really good at matching, has a good personality, and is very popular. She introduced me to the weekend job."

"Then I suggest you not to go." Zhao Minglang said.

"Why?" Lin Xingyue was puzzled.

Zhao Minglang paused, she hadn't known Lin Xingyue for long, and their relationship would never be better than that of a friend who was in need, so she swallowed those words that seemed to speculate on others at will.

"She should know that your financial situation is not very good." Zhao Minglang said, and immediately changed the subject, "But if you insist on going, I can find someone to recommend another set of clothes for you, and you can also go to other places for interviews. Wear, the price is not so high - I have friends who are very proficient in this area."

Lin Xingyue paused, blinked for a while, and nodded.

Zhao Minglang stretched out his hand towards Lin Xingyue.

Lin Xingyue looked at her suspiciously.

"Mobile phone." Zhao Minglang said, "I'll send you the link and address after I ask."

After a pause, she added: "Of course, I won't harass you casually if it's not important."

"It doesn't matter at all." Lin Xingyue handed out the phone and whispered something.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Minglang didn't hear it.

Lin Xingyue shook her head.

Seeing Zhao Minglang bowing his head to enter the number, Lin Xingyue suddenly felt a little sad.

No matter which road she takes, she and Zhao Minglang are destined to be different people.

We meet by chance for a while, but we still have to separate in the end.

Standing by the upstairs window, Zhao Minglang watched the three girls downstairs cross the road and walked in the direction they came from.

Because she didn't like the smell on Gu Wanqi's body, even though Lin Xingyue was there, she didn't send them downstairs, she just nodded when they came to say goodbye to her.

She vaguely reminded Lin Xingyue, wondering if the latter could notice anything.

After thinking about it for a while, she thought that maybe it was possible, at least it would make the other party think twice.

Lin Xingyue looks innocent, but she just habitually treats everyone as a good person and doesn't defend herself, but she is not really a fool.

The person has gone far away, Zhao Minglang is still thinking about it.

After all, I'm still a little worried.

If I was by my side, I could help her watch.

Zhao Minglang couldn't help but began to despise herself for thinking too much, but by the time she realized it, she had already taken out her mobile phone, filled in a message in the message box of the friend she just added, and sent it.

[Do you still remember the business I told you about today? ]

She froze for a moment, then quickly pulled back the next second.

[Just try to see if this is the correct account]

In the end she explained the pullback message with this far-fetched reason.

Lin Xingyue sat on the bus with two friends.

There were not many people in the car, Lin Xingyue leaned on the last row of seats and closed her eyes to rest her mind. Qi Siyu and Gu Wanqi thought she was asleep so they didn't bother her, they sat in the front row chatting in low voices staring at the sky.

When the notification sounded, Lin Xingyue woke up immediately.

[Do you still remember the business I told you about today? ]

Lin Xingyue was stunned for a moment. It was the easiest thing for her to see who sent the message, but she still took a second look at the remarks column—it was indeed the word "Mr. Zhao".

The memory of that room, the bright eyes, the gentle voice, all emerged in her mind.

She forcibly took those words as a joke, as if she hadn't heard anything, but she knew exactly what it meant.

Of course I remember.

Lin Xingyue answered silently in her heart.

But this sentence must not be said.

She was stunned for a moment, and the first message she saw clearly was changed to "withdrawn", and the next explanation was sent.

Lin Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and suppressed that insignificant little disappointment.

She has to think about how to reply better.

"Xingyue! What are you doing?"

Qi Siyu and Gu Wanqi suddenly ran to the back row, Lin Xingyue was startled, and subconsciously locked the phone.

"It's nothing." Lin Xingyue concealed it.

Qi Siyu snickered at her lying on the back of the chair, while looking at Gu Wanqi with a meaningful expression.

"Did you find a boyfriend?"

"No."

"It's not a boyfriend, why is your face so red?" Qi Siyu teased, "Oh, I see, it's not a boyfriend, but a crush, right?"

"It's all over." Lin Xingyue rubbed her face with the back of her hand, only to realize that her face was frighteningly hot, and she simply gave up on herself, "I'm not scared by you."

"If not, show me your phone?" Qi Siyu made a gesture to snatch Lin Xingyue's phone, "Let me see if there is any ghost."

Although she knew that Qi Siyu was just joking and would never take the initiative to pry into other people's privacy, Lin Xingyue subconsciously avoided her hand.

At this moment, the car bumped a bit, Qi Siyu collided with Lin Xingyue as soon as he got off the seat, the latter hit the seat with his elbow, his hands shook in pain, and the phone flew out of the window.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three were silent for a moment.

Qi Siyu suddenly covered his face and screamed: "Master driver! Please stop!"

That day Zhao Minglang stared at the mobile phone that did not receive a reply until midnight.
