Selling Braised Meat to Buy a Phone

Those large, round eyes could seemingly see through everything with just a glance. Just like the information in the investigation file, she was simple, enthusiastic, and completely unsuspecting; every emotion was clearly reflected in her gaze. Thinking this, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a pang of guilt, feeling that he shouldn't be doing this. But very quickly, he regained his composure.

After all, if he pitied others, who would pity him?

Besides, he wasn't scamming Xiang Chen for medical fees, nor was he asking her to pay for his medicine.

He had paid for that medicine with his own money.

Therefore, he didn't need to feel guilty.

Lu Zhiyuan continued to feign exhaustion, then held up his mobile phone and waved it, smiling. "If you really feel bad, let's add each other on WeChat. During this time, I'll report my health status to you so you can feel at ease."

In the depths of Lu Zhiyuan's eyes was the conviction that Xiang Chen would definitely agree. After all, she had "bumped into him" first and felt "guilty" afterward, so Lu Zhiyuan didn't think for a moment that she would refuse.

As it turned out, right after he asked, Xiang Chen didn't even think. She opened her innocent eyes wide and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I don't have WeChat."

Lu Zhiyuan frowned in displeasure, his eyes narrowing slightly.

She had just said she didn't know what to do and felt so sorry, yet now she wouldn't even add him on WeChat?

Was she playing hard to get?

Or had she realized something and was playing dumb?

While Lu Zhiyuan began to overthink and suspect that Xiang Chen was faking her innocence, she suddenly started rummaging through the worn-out canvas bag she was wearing.

Lu Zhiyuan's gaze turned suspicious, unsure of what she was doing.

After a long while, Xiang Chen looked up at him, saying with a bit of hesitation and embarrassment as she pulled out an old-fashioned button phone, "My phone doesn't have WeChat."

Lu Zhiyuan: "???"

Lu Zhiyuan then heard Xiang Chen say that she would sell braised meat to make enough profit to buy a new phone.

Lu Zhiyuan: "..."

In the end, Lu Zhiyuan still insisted on staying in touch, so she memorized his contact information.

Since Xiang Chen didn't have a mobile phone, she didn't give her number to Lu Zhiyuan.

Whatever Lu Zhiyuan was thinking, Xiang Chen didn't know, but the System was truly speechless.

The System felt that Xiang Chen might as well have just told Lu Zhiyuan directly that she didn't have a smartphone.
