At the same time, I thought that maybe it was because of her love that made her so sunny and cheerful, as charming as a girl next door.
After pressing the power button, I was about to log in to the Penguin, but then I thought that it would be difficult for me to deal with this girl with my one-finger meditation, so it would be more cost-effective to make a phone call.
"Hey, who are you?"
After the call was dialed, Lu Mengxuan's familiar voice came.
The two have been communicating on Penguin. Although Zhang Yang left her phone number, today was the first time she called, so she didn't know Zhang Yang's phone number.
"Hehe, what do you think?" Zhang Yang said with a bad smile.
"Boring." Lu Mengxuan looked very impatient.
"I'm Wen Bin, I just changed my phone number..."
Toot toot…
Before he could finish speaking, there was a hang-up sound on the other end of the phone.
He felt excited, thinking that when Lu Mengxuan heard that it was Wen Bin's call, he didn't even bother to answer it, which showed how disgusted he was with him.
It's true that Wen Bin's grandson is annoying enough, how can he be so handsome and generous like himself, Zhang Yang thought without shame.
Then he picked up his cell phone and dialed Lu Mengxuan's number again.
"I am……"
"Zhang Yang, are you done yet? Don't you think you're bored?" Lu Mengxuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
…
"Don't hang up the phone, I need your help." Zhang Yang said hurriedly with a sudden thought.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I want to borrow some money from you."
"How much to borrow? What is it for?"
"Five thousand, I'll tell you when we meet tomorrow."
…
The successful date with the beautiful woman made Zhang Yang full of excitement again.
He already had some knowledge about computers and began to search for information and contact information on some poor children.
Early the next morning, he did not go to the department, but went directly to see Lu Mengxuan.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you go to the department or not. The Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament will start tomorrow. Tian Dong and the others have guaranteed their participation, and there is no need to waste time.
A heavy rain last night made the whole city extra clean and tidy. It was working time and there were few pedestrians on the highway.
Zhang Yang took a taxi to an overpass in Donghai City, where he and Lu Mengxuan agreed yesterday.
"How can a student who is willing to spend 180,000 yuan to buy a jade bracelet and eat at the Jinhuang Hotel have no money?"
Ten minutes later, Lu Mengxuan came to the overpass and asked with confusion on his pretty face.
Wearing a gray sportswear, a pink sun hat, and a ponytail raised slightly behind the hat, she looked very sunny and playful.
Wearing a pink backpack, walking on the street, she looks more like a beautiful college student.
"I bought it for a friend. If I really had 170,000 yuan, wouldn't I have bought a car and started driving?" Zhang Yang lied without blushing.
"That has nothing to do with me. Tell me, what are you borrowing money for?"
Lu Mengxuan thought it was right. If he was so rich, why would he still take a taxi?
For those who are willing to spend so much money to buy a jade bracelet, there will definitely be no problem in getting a driver's license and buying a car.
"I'll buy you coffee and let's chat while we drink."
"You can go, but I'll just ask you."
Lu Mengxuan thought to himself, if you borrow money from me and buy me coffee, even if you are embarrassed to do so, I would be embarrassed to let you do so.
After all, drinking coffee is still a very romantic and luxurious thing in big cities.
A cup of coffee costs tens of yuan, and the average salaryman would not drink this, let alone a student who is not wealthy.
"That's great, thank you." Zhang Yang showed joy on his face and agreed.
Lu Mengxuan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, are you being too hypocritical? Are you sincere in asking me to drink coffee?
At the very least, you should be a little reserved. When you hear that you are treating guests, the look of surprise on your face is like you have made a lot of money. Is there such a shameless person?
"Let's go." Lu Mengxuan's pretty face sank, and after saying helplessly, he turned around and walked under the overpass.
"wait for me a while."
As Zhang Yang spoke, he took out a ball of Huaxia coins from his pocket, smoothed them out, then turned around and walked towards the corner of the overpass in the opposite direction.
Lu Mengxuan was stunned, not knowing what he was going to do, so he could only follow him.
The overpass in the city center has a large flow of people, and it has become a place where beggars linger. The urban management keeps driving them away, and they always act as a guerrilla, without any effect.
Zhang Yang came to a beggar holding a child and threw the crumpled banknotes in his hand into the broken bowl in front of him.
The woman was in her forties, with ragged clothes and disheveled hair. When she saw passers-by, she kept pleading and begging.
Especially the child behind, with his dark face and dirty clothes, makes people feel particularly distressed.
When he saw the banknotes that Zhang Yang threw in, surprise flashed in his eyes. When he turned around, he took out the money from the broken bowl and stuffed it into his pocket in a hurry.
"You actually gave them money?"
The scene of the woman just now did not escape Lu Mengxuan's eyes, and there was a trace of ridicule in the corner of his mouth.
"Don't you think they are pitiful?" Zhang Yang pretended to be sad and confused, and pursed the corners of his mouth tightly.
"You are too naive. At least they are richer than us. Begging is their profession. They are liars."
Lu Mengxuan felt that he was a student after all, and his ability to judge the authenticity of this kind of beggar was questionable.
Although his words were full of anger, I still recognized his kindness in my heart.
"I know."
"Do you know why you still do this?" Lu Mengxuan asked in surprise.
"The child is innocent. He is so young, how can he know how to lie?"
"But the adults treat him as a tool. If you give them money, aren't you being deceived?"
It was undeniable that Lu Mengxuan had developed a liking for him, and his words became much softer, more like a kind of persuasion.
"A child is so young, yet he is treated as a tool, exposed to all weather, and is ridiculed by others. Don't you think the child is very pitiful?"
Zhang Yang lowered his head and pretended to sigh sadly, and even started to shed tears in his eyes as he continued: "I just hope that the mother of the child can make enough money early, or conscience will show up, and stop doing this kind of profession, so that the child can have a happy and healthy life."
childhood."
Fraternity, tolerance...
Lu Mengxuan was completely moved, his pretty face full of sunshine and smile dimmed instantly, and his eyes became red.
"you are silly."
Lu Mengxuan's voice was soft, trembling with a hint of choking, and he ruffled the hair on his forehead with his small hands.
He continued: "You will only make the children's parents like this profession more, and they will even more aggressively take their children out to beg. Instead of helping the child, you will harm him even more."
"I thought about it too, but when I saw the child's pitiful appearance, I thought of myself and felt particularly uncomfortable."
"You..." After hearing his words, Lu Mengxuan began to breathe a little quickly.
"I am also an orphan. I heard from my master that I was picked up and was seriously ill at the time."
Zhang Yang sighed and continued: "So when I see these children, I will unconsciously think of my own life experience. I vowed to find them and ask them why they don't want me? Is it because I am seriously ill? Or is it?
Because you don’t have money to treat me?”
The lie was half truth and half false. When it came to the emotional part, he was indeed full of sadness. His expression no longer pretended, but wanted to express the loneliness and desolation.
"Stop talking, there is a coffee shop over there, let me treat you." Lu Mengxuan glanced sideways not far away, quietly wiping his tears while ruffling his hair.
The coffee shop was not far from the overpass. The two of them were speechless and felt very depressed.
Lu Mengxuan did not expect that Zhang Yang, who had always made fun of poverty, would actually be a lonely orphan. Her natural compassion made her feel more close to Zhang Yang.
At the same time, I also feel that his poor and wasteful teasing has become a sign of his cheerful personality.
It was working time, and the cafe was empty. When the waiter in front of the door saw the guests coming, he showed a sweet smile and hurriedly opened the door to let the two of them in.
The cafe was clean and bright. They found a seat by the window and sat down, ordering two cups of coffee at will.
"This is money lent to you. If you are financially strapped, you can pay it back later when you work."
Lu Mengxuan took out a stack of Chinese coins from the pink backpack he carried with him.
"Don't worry, I will be able to pay you back when your salary is paid next month."
"Payment? Aren't you a student?"
"Work-study program, I still work in my spare time."
"There are really fewer and fewer students who are self-reliant like you."
When Lu Mengxuan heard about his work-study studies, he became even more fond of him. After praising him, he continued: "Today's students only know how to enjoy themselves and squander their parents' hard-earned money. They are really ignorant."
"They have a wealthy family and are not short of money at all. How can they understand the sadness of poor children."
"What's the use of borrowing money? Is five thousand yuan enough?"
Lu Mengxuan suddenly thought that a man who even saved the money to buy a girl coffee and donated it to beggars suddenly borrowed so much money. Is there anything urgent?
It is undeniable that she is more worried about Zhang Yang now.
"Oh, by the way, I happened to see some poor children on the computer yesterday. They have no money to go to school, so I borrowed some money and donated it to them, and then I will pay you back after the money is distributed."
"Really? Which children? Don't you want to be deceived by others again?"
Lu Mengxuan was a little dumbfounded, wondering if you were too kind and borrowed money to donate. This was the first time I heard of such a thing.
However, he did not say it out loud so as not to dampen his enthusiasm for love.
"Look, this is their information." Zhang Yang took out the addresses of poor children that he found on Du Niang last night and handed them to her.
puff!
Lu Mengxuan laughed immediately after seeing it. Her smile was enough to kill any mentally normal man instantly.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laughed at you because you don't understand computers."
Lu Mengxuan put his information on the table, pointed and continued: "You don't need to donate this money. This is the information from five years ago. They are now studying and very happy."
…
"how do you know?"
"This is Yuanyuan. She is a well-behaved little girl. She is thirteen years old this year. She is from Anpu. Her parents died of illness and she lives with her grandma. However, she has been assisted by a charity organization and her life is very stable."
Lu Mengxuan then pointed to the second person's name and said: "This nickname is Qiqi. He is fourteen years old this year and is very naughty..."
What surprised Zhang Yang was that he only recorded a person's name and address, and Lu Mengxuan actually started to introduce their situation one by one like a treasure trove. (To be continued)
