splendid star

Chapter 91
As the haze of the twin brothers dissipated, Guan Lu continued to seek marriage online.Having learned the lesson from last time, Guan Lu now pays special attention to the expressiveness of her marriage partner when she meets him for the first time.In the next period of time, Guan Lu met several blind dates like a revolving door, but none of them were to Guan Lu's liking.
After get off work that night, Guan Lu returned to her single apartment. She was bored and sat on the bed, holding a laptop in her hand, eating snacks and aimlessly browsing the information of many men on the matrimonial website.
At this moment, with the sound of "ding dong!", a greeting was sent.Guan Lu opened the dialog box and took a look: "Hi, beauty, can I get to know you?"
"It's nothing new." Guan Lu glanced at the dialog box contemptuously.After minimizing the dialog box, she opened the other person's profile and started browsing casually.
"Internet name Xingkong, age 32, BJ, owns a house and a car" These key information immediately attracted Guan Lu's interest: "Well, it seems that this person is more in line with my requirements." Guan Lu said to herself road.
Guan Lu opened Xingkong's photo album, wanting to get a preliminary understanding of what kind of person he was.After opening the first photo, the first thing that caught my eye was a bald man. He was wearing a plaid shirt and sitting on a sandalwood chair. The gold chain around his neck was vaguely visible at the collar of his shirt. He was wearing a piece of gold on his hand. It looks like a valuable watch, and in the background is a row of red wine cabinets. The wine cabinet shelves are tan and complement the sandalwood chair on which the bald man sits. The whole picture is full of an antique charm.
Guan Lu continued to browse the second photo. This was a photo taken by a bald man in front of a car. It seemed that the car was not low-grade and should belong to the luxury car level. However, due to her limited vision, Guan Lu did not recognize it. What make of car is that?
Guan Lu looked through other photos of Xingkong one after another. Although the backgrounds of each photo were different, they all explained one problem without exception. This bald man was a rich man.
Looks like you found the right person this time!Guan Lu couldn't help but snicker. She put down the snacks in her hands, suppressed her inner excitement, and quickly replied to Xingkong: "Hello, nice to meet you."
Xingkong quickly replied: "Is the photo of you? So beautiful!"
"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake." Guan Lu replied mischievously.
As the conversation between the two deepened, they gradually had more topics to talk about.Guan Lu found that Xingkong was a very humorous and knowledgeable man, and he seemed to understand her very well.Because of every word she said, Xingkong could guess what she meant, as if he understood what she was thinking.
After the two said good night to each other, the night was already very late, but Guan Lu didn't feel sleepy at all.Today's encounter with the starry sky seemed to open the door to a new world for her.Xingkong told her many scenes about the lives of rich people, which she had never heard of before and had never even dared to imagine.In front of this starry sky, Guan Lu suddenly felt like a Cinderella who was lucky enough to get a ticket invited by the prince to attend the royal ball.
In the following period, Xingkong would chat with Guan Lu almost every night and tell her various anecdotes. Guan Lu was full of curiosity about the man whose online name was Xingkong, and even felt inexplicably full of expectations.
Finally one night, Xingkong proposed to meet Guan Lu offline to get to know each other.Guan Lu happily accepted the appointment. She had actually been waiting for this moment for a long time.
In order to leave a good impression on Xingkong, Guan Lu spent one month's salary to buy the latest brand clothes, and another half a month's salary to buy an exquisite bag and a pair of high-end high heels. And she even had her hair done specially to make herself look more fashionable and outstanding.
The date of the appointment has finally arrived!Guan Lu got up early in the morning, put on exquisite makeup, put on new clothes and shoes, and carried a new handbag.
"So beautiful!" Guan Lu looked at herself in the mirror, looking left and right, and couldn't help but admire narcissistically.
"Okay! Everything is ready, let's go!" Guan Lu walked out the door beautifully on her high heels.
Arriving at the appointed place, Guan Lu stood outside the restaurant, looking up at the gleaming gilded building sign, "The consumption here must be very high, right? Yu Yang has never brought herself to such a high-end place to eat before." Guan Lu Thinking silently.
Guan Lu took out the small mirror she carried with her and checked whether her makeup was stained. After making sure everything was fine, Guan Lu confidently walked into the restaurant.
Guan Lu stood at the screen and glanced around, looking for the figure in the starry sky among the movement of heads.
"Hi! Tulip, I'm here!" Tulip is Guan Lu's online name on the marriage website.
Guan Lu followed the sound and saw a bald man smiling and waving to her. That's right! He was Xingkong. He was bald just like in the photo, but he looked younger in person than in the photo.
Guan Lu composed herself and walked towards the starry sky with a smile.Arriving at Xingkong's dining table, Guan Lu smiled and said hello: "Hello, you are Xingkong, right?"
"Don't I look bright in the photo?" Xingkong joked with a smile while touching his bald head.
"The real person is more handsome than the photo." Guan Lu replied with a smile and sat down across the dining table.
After Guan Lu sat down, Xingkong explained: "This is a restaurant that combines Chinese and Western food. Our first course today is Western food. I ordered steak and red wine. Can we try it later?"
"Thank you!" Guan Lu replied with a ladylike smile, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Guan Lu. What about you?"
"My name is Yan Liang. Serious Yan, bright Liang, you can call me Liang Liang." Yan Liang introduced himself cheerfully.
"Are you really a nurse?" Yan Liang continued to ask.
"Yes." Since Guan Lu uploaded two beautiful photos of herself wearing nurse uniforms in the photo album, Yan Liang seemed to be paying attention to them.
"Oh, nurses are such a noble profession, angels in white, saving lives and helping the wounded." Yan Liang straightened his body and said.
"It's not about saving lives and healing the wounded. It's just a job with a lot of work and little money." Guan Lu replied with a self-effacing smile.
At this moment, the waiter came over with a tray. He gently placed two steaks and two glasses of red wine on the table, and said, "Take your time, you two." Then he turned and left.
Looking at the cutlery and cutlery on the table, Guan Lu, who was eating Western food for the first time, was a little overwhelmed. She picked up the cutlery with both hands and started cutting with clumsy gestures.Yan Liang saw Guan Lu's embarrassing scene, but he did not say anything. Instead, he cut the steak with a knife and ate it with a fork.Guan Lu lowered her head and glanced at Yan Liang from time to time. She quickly learned how to eat Western food, but she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
After the two of them finished a few bites of steak, Yan Liang picked up the wine glass and said to Guan Lu with a smile: "This is Lafite from France. The market price of a bottle is more than 2." Yan Liang stared at Guan Lu and continued to speak loudly. , "Come! Guan Lu, cheers to our acquaintance today!"
Guan Lu picked up the wine glass and touched it.After taking a sip, Guan Lu looked thoughtfully at the half glass of red wine in her hand, thinking in her mind: How much would it cost to drink this half glass?
The waiter brought several more Chinese dishes one after another. Guan Lu put aside her new restraint and said with a smile while eating: "The Chinese food is still delicious."
After Yan Liang heard Guan Lu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved smile: "Oh, I told you earlier, it made me pretend to be so hard! I always thought that you nurses and doctors are all petty bourgeoisie! So, The first dish I ordered was Western food. I didn't expect that we both have the same taste. I also prefer Chinese food." Yan Liang looked at Guan Lu who was enjoying the meal and continued, "What does it mean for two people to get along? If they can talk to each other, they can Let's eat together, Guan Lu, tell me, how difficult it is for us to be able to eat and talk together! What a deep fate we have!"
Guan Lu kept nodding her head, expressing her agreement with Yan Liang's point of view.
"Brother Liang, what do you do?" Guan Lu asked while eating.
"I don't have a job." Yan Liang replied cheerfully.
"What? No job?" Guan Lu put down her chopsticks, looked at Yan Liang in surprise, and asked in confusion, "Then what do you do for a living?"
"Is it novel to not have a job?" Seeing Guan Lu's expression, Yan Liang also put down his bowls and chopsticks, shrugged and asked, "The buddies around me are all the same as me. If you insist on saying what I do, then I am a rent collector, and my family has five apartments in the city."
"Five suites? Oh, that's great!" Guan Lu replied sourly after hearing this. She lowered her head and took another mouthful of food, but she felt that the delicious food in her mouth suddenly became less fragrant.
"Yeah! Who gave us such a good life! The monthly rent is enough for me to eat well and drink spicy food. Why do I still go to work to earn three melons and two dates? It's not even enough for gas money." Yan Liang said proudly replied.
Guan Lu couldn't help but lament the unfairness of fate. The people around her were working hard, but the tenants sitting opposite did not have to do anything, and many people regularly gave money to support them.
After this meeting, due to the huge gap between the two, Guan Lu did not hold out hope for further interactions with Yan Liang.
However, this charter man seemed to be very interested in Guan Lu and continued to actively contact her.Since then, he often invited Guan Lu to dinner every now and then, and sent large bouquets of flowers to Guan Lu's hospital.
"Wow! Lulu, is this your new boyfriend? He's so kind to you!" Colleague Xiao Zhang asked enviously.
"We are in the testing period, and I haven't decided whether to agree to him yet!" Guan Lu also began to imitate Liu Beibei's Versailles-style speech.
When Liu Beibei saw this, she quickly came over and asked Guan Lu in a low voice: "Did you meet the man who gave you flowers on the marriage dating website?"
"Yes." Guan Lu replied in a low voice.
"I just said there are good men there? What do you think? You're right, you heard me right. Then when are you going to treat me to dinner?" Liu Beibei asked proudly.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Guan Lu replied with a smile.
"Then it depends on what you can afford?" Liu Beibei said in a long tone.
"Tell me, do you want to eat something flying in the sky, something running on the ground, or something swimming in the water?" Guan Lu teased Liu Beibei with a smile.
Seeing her colleagues around her casting envious glances at her from time to time, Guan Lu's vanity was greatly satisfied.
One day not long after, Yan Liang asked Guan Lu out for dinner again.Halfway through the meal, Yan Liang suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Lulu, I'll give you a gift to commemorate the [-] days since we met." Then he picked up an exquisite box from the chair next to him and handed it to Guan Lu.
Guan Lu said movedly: "Brother Liang, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful that you would write down the number of days we have known each other."
"Guess what gift?" Yan Liang asked mischievously.
"I can't guess." Guan Lu thought for a while and replied.
"Given to you, this is the latest LV bag, a global limited edition." Yan Liang showed off with a smile.
"Wow! This gift is too expensive. How can I accept it?" Guan Lu seemed a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she should accept this generous gift. She naturally liked this irresistible gift in her heart, but after all The two of them had not known each other for a long time, so it seemed a little inappropriate to accept such generous gifts.
Yan Liang pretended to be angry and said: "Lulu, I will never take back what I send out, so just accept it, it's just a bag!"
After a slight hesitation, Guan Lu happily reached out and accepted the bag.
Yan Liang took advantage of the situation and held Guan Lu's hand tightly, and said warmly: "Lulu, I like you, please be my girlfriend!"
Guan Lu was startled, but did not resist and nodded shyly.
