Chapter 32 Invitation and Rejection (Thanks to the leader of Cat Mengmeng)
The movie ended and several people came out of the viewing cabin.
Regarding the movie, several people had different opinions. Milly thought it was very romantic. Dudu said that it was all a lie. In reality, it is impossible for an upper-class lady to fall in love with a poor boy. It was probably another novel written by someone who was not satisfied with it.
The fantasy product of home.
"What do you think of Hesia?" Lina asked the girl.
"There may have been such beautiful things in history, but people are different and they all have their own choices." Heshia replied.
Compared with the determination of other students, she is quite able to accept some different things. Perhaps her recent experience has been bizarre enough.
"Hey~ Hesia, do you believe it too?" Lina protracted her tone, thoughtfully.
A few people walked out of the movie theater. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. They were walking casually on the commercial street, ready to go shopping and not necessarily buy anything. This was the difference between boys and girls.
Generally, when boys go shopping to buy things, they usually go straight to the topic. After making a selection, they feel that it is about the same and then buy it and leave. But for girls, the shopping process is the main thing and they do not necessarily have a clear purchase plan.
If you find it, you will buy it, or you may continue shopping if you don’t find someone you are interested in. Chatting and commenting with your companions during the period is the fun part.
Heshia wasn't very interested in shopping or anything like that. She was used to being frugal, but she couldn't stand up to the high interest of the people around her, so she couldn't just run away at this time, thinking that she would just go out and broaden her horizons.
"First of all, let's go to the clothing street and see what new products are available recently." Du Du said her favorite part of shopping for clothes.
"Wise decision." Lina agreed.
"Let's go and have a look." Milly had no objection.
Following a few people, Heshia walked into the revolving street. The clothing street in the business district is like a huge spiral. There are shops on both sides of the street. There are also automatic elevator floors on the revolving street. As long as you stand on it, you can follow.
The elevator slowly advances or descends.
"Go to that store first." A few people stood on the automatic floor, and Dudu pointed to the cutely decorated store in the distance.
"'Fluffy Home', Dudu, haven't you always followed the royal sister route? How did you change your cute style?" Lina asked curiously.
"What Royal Sister? I'm only about 16 years old, okay? How can I be that old?" This made Dudu furious.
"It's just that I was bewitched by my sister. She used her leftover things, which she said were brand-name clothes and bags originally worth several thousand federal dollars, and transferred them to me at a low price."
"The result was nothing fishy, and all the pocket money was defrauded by her." Dudu became angry when talking about this.
"Hehehe, she is indeed a biological sister." Milly snickered at the side, and her mood felt better now.
"Then go and have a look."
Several people walked into the store, and sure enough, as the sign outside said, it was full of all kinds of plush accessories and clothes, especially some puppet pajamas, which seemed to be very popular and came in many styles.
"Looks pretty cute."
"It feels quite comfortable."
"Ah, that's a little crocodile suit, I really want it."
“Are alligators really cute?”
"But it is very majestic. It has a big mouth, just like a dragon."
"Why not get one in the shape of a dragon?"
"Dragon is too scary and not suitable for a cute girl like me."
"..."
Several people were chattering in the store. Heshia occasionally said a word or two, and then inadvertently turned her eyes outside the store.
An accident seemed to be happening outside? She saw several people running hurriedly on the street and shouting, but because of the good sound insulation effect of the store, she couldn't hear clearly. Just when Heshia was thinking about whether to go out and take a look,
Lina grabbed her arm.
"Hesia, do you like this?" Lina held up a big yellow duck pajamas.
"This, uh... is it OK?" Hesia replied a little absent-mindedly.
After finally dealing with her companion's inquiries and discussions, when she turned her head again, the outside seemed to have returned to normal. People on the street were walking around normally, and nothing unusual was seen.
Weird, forget it, let’s go out and take a look later.
After more than half an hour, several people finally walked out of the store. Of course, they didn't buy anything.
"Although it's cute, it's still a bit childish."
"I'll buy it next time." Maybe he was embarrassed.
"I haven't found the right one."
The problem is that since he didn’t even buy it, he still browsed it for more than 40 minutes. Heshia shook her head in her heart.
"Let's go to the next house."
After that, several people visited several stores one after another until it was close to 6 o'clock.
"Let's have a meal together later, and then go sing." Lina suggested.
"no problem."
"I know a very good restaurant, and I got a coupon some time ago, so I can go there." Lina shook the personal terminal in her hand and said that she kept it with her.
Others didn't care and just settled on it.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the four of them took the elevator and arrived in front of a glass restaurant located at the viewing point.
"This looks very high-end at first sight." Dudu looked up and down at the signboard and decorations. There were also real waiters in uniforms inside.
Generally speaking, the food serving and cleaning work in ordinary restaurants are completed by T6-level robots, which can save a lot of money, but it is much more expensive for real people. As for the robots also used in "Liu Li Dream", it is
Because it is necessary to ensure the average quality of the maids in the store and a relatively quiet and comfortable style. If there are many people and there are many people, this style will be destroyed.
"Well, the T4 level Fengbianxiang steak inside is very good." Lina introduced it.
"Wait a minute, you said level T4, right?" Dudu said.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Lina asked pretending to be confused.
"The cheapest T4-level package is more than 1,000. Let's have a meal. Is it necessary to be so expensive?"
Although Du Du is good at face, in front of a few familiar sisters, everyone knows the basics of their family background, so there is no need to pretend.
"That's what Dudu said." Milly nodded. She was from the best family among the group, but she usually wouldn't come to this kind of restaurant alone. At most, she would go with the elders in the family when they receive guests.
"It's okay. I came here with an acquaintance last time and gave me some coupons. If it doesn't work, you can tell him. He is friends with the boss and can get a lot of discounts." Lina reassured a few people again.
"Okay, that's what you said. If the price is higher than 300 in the end, I can't afford it." Dudu will not suffer any loss.
"There's no need to be so harsh." Milly didn't seem to be short of money.
"As for me, just..." Heshia thought about whether to refuse. In fact, she was familiar with the T4 level set meal. After all, she often ate in the store recently, but it was too expensive outside.
Probably half a day's work would be in vain... Heshia estimated in her mind.
"It's okay." Lina patted Hesia on the shoulder and interrupted her.
"Why don't you treat me to a treat today? I'll scare you." She shook her head and pressed her chest with one hand, showing that her kindness was misunderstood and it hurt.
The last few people walked into the restaurant.
“Welcome to Ai Lingjing Restaurant, we will provide you with absolutely safe and comfortable service.”
As soon as they entered the store, the waiters on both sides dressed as deacons bowed and saluted, which made Dudu and Milly a little surprised and surprised.
With this kind of rhetoric, Heshia recalled what her manager had told her before, never to say words like 'absolute' or 'certain' in front of guests. This was digging a hole for yourself, and it also felt hypocritical and exaggerated.
Although she thought so, this kind of talk was quite useful to Milly and Dudu. As soon as they walked into the store, their eyes lit up and they felt great everywhere.
Soon after sitting down, Lina started ordering food, and then started talking about the decoration and furnishings of the store.
"Did you see this dark golden transparent tabletop? It's made of 'Mohes Transparent Metal', and the porcelain plates and teacups are made of 'Golden Jade Sand'..."
What he said was very clear and logical, which made several people feel fresh. Even Heshia was wondering why the decorations in the "Liu Li Dream" were not introduced by the seniors as to which brand they came from.
After waiting for a while, the main meal was served. The freshly fried Fengbianxiang steak exuded an attractive aroma and color. Because it was a T4 level cuisine, it had a somewhat extraordinary effect.
"It looks pretty good." Milly has eaten T4 level food several times and performed well.
"Wow, is this T4-level cuisine? It feels completely different from what I remember." Dudu had only eaten it once before, but this time she still had a big reaction.
"What, it's pretty good." Lina responded slightly proudly, but the corner of her gaze was looking at Hesia not far away.
This child behaves very calmly. Aren't you surprised? No, no, that's probably her personality. It's rare to see her fussing, Lina thought in her mind.
However, she should have been notified at this moment. She picked up her personal terminal and sent a message under the table, and then she laughed and chatted with everyone.
The dining process was quite enjoyable. After all, the three of them didn't spend any money, and the other person was treated to a meal in advance, so I definitely didn't feel bad.
"Guest, this is the newly prepared 'orange fruit wine'."
While several people were chatting and eating, the waiter once again brought four glasses of attractive orange-red fruit wine, which exuded a refreshing fragrance.
"Should we not order this?" Lina asked.
"Yes, but a gentleman asked us to deliver it for you." After saying this, the adaptable student stepped aside, revealing a man sitting at another table not far away. He was well-dressed, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and looked like a business elite.
dress up.
"Oh, who is this?" Dudu asked Lina curiously.
"Ah, it turns out he is here today. He is the acquaintance I mentioned. He said he often comes to this store recently and introduced him to me." Lina waved to the other party, and then the elf man came over.
"Good evening, ladies." His tone was slightly different, somewhat Elvish-like.
"Hello." Dudu and Milly felt flattered and immediately remembered the etiquette lessons taught in school before, but now they couldn't remember much and could only feel anxious.
He nodded kindly to the greetings of the two, and then began to introduce himself.
"My name is Sun Quaild, I'm Lina's friend. I didn't expect to have dinner here after get off work. I just saw it coming."
Eating here right after get off work, and being alone, it's hard not to think of whether we live this kind of luxurious life every day. Dudu and Milly listened to their imaginations, and the other party was an elf, and they were even more eye-catching. Worshiped.
Although elves account for less than 1% of the population in the Federation, because their life span is nearly three times that of humans, and they also have great advantages in practicing the natural order, they are often in the middle and upper class of the crowd, and are envied by many people.
"Hello, my name is Milly..."
"Hello, my name is..." Milly and Dudu introduced themselves respectively, and even talked about some of their hobbies and interests.
Finally, it was the turn of the gray-haired girl in the corner, "Hello, my name is Hesia." Her introduction was plain and simple, without any unnecessary content.
"Hello, I don't know if I will disturb your meal." He said, then pulled up the seat and sat down naturally.
Sunkeld first chatted with a few people about the restaurant, and then slowly talked about how he and Lina met.
"Actually, it was because of our common hobbies. It was at a concert, and I happened to sit next to Lina, and we chatted a lot about music, and we gradually got to know each other."
"Hmm, I was quite surprised at the time. After all, I started to feel that there was a big age gap between Mr. Sunkeld and me. I felt that he might not understand the type of things I liked. But I didn't expect that Sunkeld was really knowledgeable. There were a lot of things about me.
He knew everything he was talking about, and he also told me a lot about the development history and changes of music." Lina pretended to be a nymphomaniac, making several people at the table laugh.
When did Lina understand music? Heshia tilted her head. The one in the class who is really obsessed with music is probably Clara who dreams of becoming an idol, but she said that practicing guitar is too hard.
When several people were joking, Heshia didn't say much. Finally, it was Sunkeld who took the initiative to speak.
"Hasn't Hesia thought about where to go during the holidays? I see that everyone has their own plans."
"Oh, me? I haven't thought about it yet. I'll probably work to save some money first. After all, I won't have time to work after I go to high school. There will be a lot of money to spend in the future." Hesia shook her head.
"That's really a pity. After all, the vacation after graduating from junior high school is only this one. Looking back on when I graduated, I didn't go out with my classmates because I was preparing for the re-examination, which left me with a lot of regrets." Sunkeld shook his head.
"Although learning is very important, life is only once. If you miss it, it will be gone."
"Yes, my sister also told me this. Girls should grasp many things while they are young, otherwise they will suffer losses when they are old." Du Du agreed.
"This does seem to make sense." Milly nodded frequently.
"Don't keep thinking about your part-time job, Heshia." Lina started to assist at this time.
"You can't save much money by working for a month, and you can't waste much time by going out for a week. Life is all about experiencing more."
"But..." Hesia was about to refuse, when Senquild spoke up.
"It's okay. It doesn't cost much to go out. It just so happens that our company is organizing a trip recently. Because I am the manager, I also have two places to bring my family and friends. It is a beach vacation in the South Third District. Heshia is interested in traveling with us.
Will Lina go with you?"
If you invite Heshia alone, it will probably arouse a lot of vigilance and resistance, but if you add her classmates at work and her former deskmate Lina, this can lower a lot of her vigilance.
"I..." If it were before, Heshia would probably hesitate because she was not good at rejecting people, but now.
"I still won't go." The girl shook her head.
First of all, she didn't want to receive favors in vain, and maybe it was her intuition that she vaguely didn't like the Sun Quaild in front of her. She couldn't tell what the reason was, but she just didn't like it.
"Let's go and have a look. It's a rare holiday. Hesia doesn't want to remember it in the underground area of Panyin City. It's better to go outside and breathe fresh air." Lina grabbed Hesia's hand.
Hands, move again.
At this time, Dudu and Milly also felt that something was wrong, but after all, they still had a good impression of Sun Quaild. Besides, they had eaten for free today, so it was hard to say anything.
Heshia is lucky, Dudu thought, that such a rich man has taken a liking to her.
"Tsk, why is it Hesia? Don't I look good?" Milly drank her drink depressedly.
"Let's forget it." Hesia pulled Lina's wrist away with difficulty. She rarely refused people. Saying such words in front of everyone made her feel even more stressed.
Seeing Heshia's appearance, Lina felt an unknown fire in her heart. What? She was putting on airs for herself at this time. She had made a guarantee in front of others. She usually looked submissive, but now she became cold and arrogant.
Yes, ha.
"Hesia, are you looking down on me?" Lina stopped pretending and stood up with a tense face.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Senkeld wanted to hold his forehead. He is a decent man, and this is a relatively famous restaurant. This is really not good. The girl named Hessia opposite him looked like the kind of person he didn't see much.
In the past, some timid girls may have refused just because they were afraid of strangers, but they will be fine if they get to know each other gradually in the future. But if Lina does this, it will be difficult to handle in the future.
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Dudu and Milly hurriedly came over to persuade them. Dudu hugged Lina and Milly also pulled Hesia away.
"Calm down, Lina, Hexia didn't mean it, her usual personality is like this." Dudu comforted Lina.
Milly was also talking to Heshia at the side, "Okay, ignore Lina. She is probably impulsive. You know her, she has always been a bit straightforward... I will say hello to Mr. Sunkeld later.
Just apologize and leave. Anyway, they treated us to a meal, which cost a lot of money."
With the comfort of the two people, the scene calmed down a little, but everyone was in no mood at this moment. Just when Milly and Dudu were thinking about how to end the day, say some words and then disperse, a sound of footsteps came from outside the restaurant.
.
"Special police?" Some guests in the restaurant whispered.
Different from the common police officers in white, these police officers are fully armed, wearing dark matte armor and helmets, and the pulse rifles in their hands are full of murderous intent. When they enter the floor, they disperse the police and then check the stores one by one.
Inquire.
"What happened?" Sunkeld stood up at this time and walked to the front desk. He was indeed a regular customer here and the clerk knew him.
"It is said that there was an accident on the street today, and someone lost control and injured someone. Although it was controlled later, it seems that the matter was not that simple." The clerk only learned the news through the surrounding store groups.
"That's it..."
Although there is a possibility of mental pollution getting out of control due to promotion and practicing extraordinary sequences, the probability of such a thing is actually very low. There are more than one million people in the entire Payin City, and it only happens a few times a year. Even if it gets out of control, it is easy to get it.
Control, there is no need to be so cautious and grand.
"I can't figure it out, I'll call and ask." After all, Sunkeld is also a middle-level person in the company and knows a lot of people, so he wants to inquire.
After talking on the phone for a while, he put down his personal terminal, shook his head, and asked the clerk for some fruit wine.
"What happened?" Lina Xiaoniao held his arm lovingly. After the anger subsided, she felt something was wrong and wanted to restore her image in this man's mind.
"It's nothing. Let's just sit down and wait for the special police to finish their investigation." In fact, he didn't know what happened, and his friend just said that Payin City will be stricter recently.
"All right."
Everyone sat back down and waited boredly. Other customers in the store also got some news through various means. Seeing that they couldn't get any privileges and left, they could only come back and wait patiently.
If it hadn't been for the quarrel just now, the few of them might still be chatting and laughing, but this time the scene was very deserted. Seeing this, Sunkeld waved again and served a cup of ice cream to all four of them.
"Have some dessert after dinner, it's okay, it has nothing to do with us." His behavior attracted some favor from Milly and Dudu.
Time passed minute by minute, and about 20 minutes later, the special police came to the restaurant where they were, and checked them one by one with instruments. After seeing nothing unusual, they let everyone leave.
When it was time to leave, Heshia still called out Senquield's name, and then the two exchanged communication IDs before leaving.
"Hexia is indeed moved." On the way back, Dudu and Milly walked together.
"Well, it's understandable. The situation at Heshia's family is not very good, and her parents are no longer here. It's different from us." Milly shook her head.
"How come Milly is so reasonable today? You were never like this before." Dudu looked surprised.
"People will always grow. Anyway, after this love break, I have become more open-minded."
"Uh-huh, can broken love still make people grow like this?"
Dudu and Milly slowly walked away.
On the other side, Sunquield also received a text message from Heshia after driving Lina home.
[I'm sorry to embarrass Mr. Sunkeld today. This is today's meal cost of 1,612 federal dollars. I will transfer it to you]
[I know Lina may have just said those things on impulse. She has her own thoughts, but I also have my own decision. At least now I still want to live in my own way instead of relying on others at will]
[Sorry to bother you, please delete my communication ID after receiving the transfer]
——Hesia Tilan
Putting down his personal terminal, Sunquid sat in the car and looked at the commercial street in the distance, sighing in his voice.
"I really made a mistake. I didn't expect that there would be such a girl today."
"But how long can we maintain such pride? Today's society cannot survive just by having backbone."
ps: As expected, I still don’t know how to slap the face plot or anything like that_(:з」∠)_
