“Hao(浩)?”
Facing the self-introduction of the man in front of him, Luo Qiu suddenly asked after thinking about it.
Song Haoran was startled. He quickly realized that in the Chinese native language, the second word of his name did have many homophonic characters. Having such a question seemed reasonable.
It was just that he hadn’t encountered such a problem for many years, so he naturally felt a little surprised.
He smiled slightly, “It’s Hao(昊).”
Luo Qiu said, “I see.”
Song Haoran blinked suspiciously.
He had slender eyelashes with thin lips. His complexion was fairer than the average Asian, giving off a feminine vibe.
Feminine but not gloomy, like a jade-like noble son. He was indeed a beautiful man.
“Are you here to travel?” Luo Qiu put his gaze on the Walking Iris pot next to him again. He reached out to touch the dark blue flower that looked like a butterfly.
Song Haoran shook his head.
Luo Qiu guessed, “Are you working here?”
Song Haoran casually said, “Well, you can say that. My company has a bit of business here, sending me here to take care of it. Are you still a student?”
This man seemed to be a person who preferred to be on the initiative side. After answering, he immediately connected to another question with a firm tone.
Strictly speaking, if Luo Qiu didn’t drop out, he would be in the first semester of the university’s third year of study. Moreover, Luo Qiu declared that he would study in a foreign university next year, so there was nothing wrong with adopting a student identity.
Luo Qiu didn’t look at the plants that were nicknamed Jade Butterfly. Instead, he looked at the beautiful man in front of him. He noticed that Song Haoran was scarred by the neck.
But, he was wearing a suit, and his collar concealed it well. Probably he would only show his scar accidentally while walking.
This scar seems to be scratched by a sharp weapon. I wonder how long it is?
Luo Qiu thought for a while and replied, “I dropped out from the university I attended. After Chinese New Year, I will choose a foreign school to complete my studies. My family has agreed.”
“Really?” Song Haoran smiled, but he also found it strange. Even if one were to meet a compatriot abroad, they wouldn’t reveal too much about themselves. The young man spoke in detail. It deviated from the norm. Those weren’t words one would say in the face of a stranger for the first time, but the young man acted as if he was reporting something to relatives and friends.
What a baffling feeling.
In fact, Song Haoran didn’t walk in by accident. He just saw this young Asian man in the flower shop by accident. After seeing the young man’s face, he had the urge to approach.
After this simple chatter, Song Haoran discovered that this young man named Luo Qiu gave him a special kind of intimacy.
Of course, it might also be due to the reason why people spoke in their mother tongue when they met their compatriots. When one was abroad, they would inevitably feel a sense of intimacy with their compatriots.
Song Haoran inquired about the name of the foreign school from Luo Qiu. After hearing it, he was quite surprised and said, “This school is famous. It’s amazing that you manage to enroll.”
“It’s an amazing feat that the company appoints Mr. Song as a spokesperson.” Luo Qiu praised Mr. Song back.
Song Haoran laughed a little. It felt like a close friend at the first meeting.
He waved his hand, “Okay, let’s skip the pleasantries. It makes the chatter meaningless.”
Even on a whim, Song Haoran couldn’t tell why. He pulled up his sleeves, glanced at his watch, and sent out an invitation, “I have some time left. It’s rare to meet my compatriot in this place. Are you interested in having a meal? Of course, I will be treating you, so let me be the host. After all, I have lived here for a long time.”
“Is it okay?”
“Of course.” Song Haoran was forthright, “I like to make friends, which will make me feel that my horizons are expanding. The more friends you have, the more people know you. Then, your presence in this world will become more clear. Even after you die, it will remain in the hearts of many people. Don’t you think this is a wonderful thing?”
“That’s true.” Luo Qiu smiled. “If possible, can I bring a friend along?”
Song Haoran narrowed his eyes and said, “Is it the lady next to me who is buying flowers? Is it your girlfriend?”
“You can say that.” Boss Luo responded.
Song Haoran seemed to have thought of something. He felt that this might be a state of being above friends and not lovers yet. As for the young couple who came to travel here this time, perhaps they intended to advance their relationship.
“What are you chatting about?” You Ye had already gained her harvest. Holding a bunch of sunflowers wrapped by the florist owner, she came to the two of them, “Who is this?”
Song Haoran was stunned, “You’re gorgeous. Luo Qiu, I think you don’t mind introducing me to this beautiful girlfriend of yours, right? There’s a nice Spanish restaurant nearby. I think you will like it.”
You Ye looked at her master.
Luo Qiu smiled and said, “It seems we don’t have to worry about lunch anymore.”
…
Caroline was worrying about what to eat for lunch.
With a huge amount of money in her hand, she could even enjoy the top-notch delicacies in the world unscrupulously. But Caroline had no interest in this aspect at all at this time. She just felt hungry and needed something to eat, but she couldn’t think of what to eat. Hence, she walked alone on the street in the slum, a little desperate.
Prior to this, and after searching for the mysterious shop last night to no avail, Caroline went to the hospital. It wasn’t so much a hospital but rather a small clinic that didn’t even have a state-recognized license.
But the doctors inside were great. Otherwise, they wouldn’t get Boss Neymar’s approval to do medical business here.
According to the contract, she used her fertility as a female as a transaction fee to purchase the service to get out of trouble and obtain a fortune. So what should be done to make a woman lose her fertility?
She did some tests in the clinic because she wondered if her fertility had been quietly taken away, and she didn’t know. After all, she had already met Neymar’s men, and they didn’t recognize her.
She even acquired a large amount of wealth.
The contents of that contract seemed to have been fulfilled. Thinking about it then, it appeared that she had reached the time to pay. It happened overnight, and Caroline couldn’t react at all.
But it was precisely because of this incredible speed that Caroline felt that the other party might have already taken away her ability as a woman without her knowing it.
However…
“Do you want to test your fertility? I don’t have this kind of checkup here! If you want to do it, you can only go to the bigger hospital outside! In addition, you are a little malnourished, so please pay attention to your diet! Also, come to me regularly for checkups. Please don’t wait for your private place to rot before you come to me. That’s disgusting!”
The doctor spoke ill-mannered, but he cared about every patient of his.
No matter who it was or whether the person could afford it, as long as the person was sent to this clinic, he would take care of that person. Of course, he would send people to collect debts from those who couldn’t pay. Sometimes, his method wasn’t quite peaceful.
At the same time, the doctor was also a terrible old man with an evil personality and an unruly life.
Many of the peers Caroline knew had been patronized by this old man, even her tenant Livia. Of course, this old man was generous.
If it weren’t for her rules in choosing guests, Caroline felt that she should have had sex with this doctor long ago, given that he was willing to pay.
“What do you want to eat? Same as usual?”
Caroline was starved. She came to a family-style restaurant that she frequented and sat down. She chose the seat by the window so that she could observe what was happening on the street.
Before this, this decision was to make it easier for her to find and see if there were suitable customers. Now, she just wanted the movement outside.
The news of Boss Neymar’s sudden death probably hadn’t completely spread. But since last night, the entrances and exits had been heavily monitored and stationed. Hence, most of the residents realized something major happened. Today, the whole area was deserted.
Even in this restaurant, there didn’t seem to have many customers as before.
Facing the waiter’s question, Caroline glanced at the menu and said casually, “Give me a Vatapa (a combination of fish oil, shrimp, coconut milk, rice and bread) and a Lacaca (fresh shrimp soup).”
The waiter wrote down the order. Apparently, he was familiar with Caroline’s diet and said casually, “No beer?”
Caroline thought so and nodded but suddenly remembered that the old doctor had asked her to pay attention to her diet. She shook her head, “No, let’s have another Churrasco (roast beef with tomato sauce or onion sauce).”
The waiter quickly wrote it down and then looked around the restaurant. Suddenly, he took a stool and sat down slyly. He lowered his voice and said, “Caroline, I have two hours of rest time in the afternoon. I just got my salary yesterday. Do you have time? Can I come over?”
“It’s not convenient for me these days. You should find someone else.” Caroline shook her head.
The waiter looked disappointed and shrugged, “Oh well, no wonder you ordered so much today. Wait a minute. I will get the chef to cook it for you right away! My sweetheart, rest assured, I won’t trouble you because you rejected the business with me. I will give you some fresh okra later!”
“Oh, Mario, you are such a kind person.” Caroline smiled sweetly. “But you can go to Livia. I think she will welcome you very much.”
The waiter named Mario blew a whistle and walked away quickly.
Caroline sighed and watched the window. She didn’t have any special thoughts at this time or that she had so many thoughts now that she couldn’t focus.
She thought about the mysterious shop and the boss. She didn’t know if the other party would suddenly appear in front of her next time, and then the horrible things that would only appear in the movie would happen. For example, the other party would put their hands into her body.
Thinking of this made her shudder.
She was also wondering whether she would continue to stay in this place after all this was resolved. She already had unimaginable wealth on her hands, so she could leave this place and move to another place with a better environment.
Or she should go for a vagina repair operation. After all, she was indeed only eighteen years old. Then, she could find a suitable time to appear in front of some celebrities, or perhaps marry into a great family. But, if she couldn’t have children, it also seemed to be a big problem.
As for doing business, she dispelled such ideas. Caroline didn’t think she was talented in entrepreneurship. For investments, she had been scammed many times.
What about buying real estate, famous cars, branded clothes, and all kinds of luxury goods?
Caroline discovered that she suddenly had no way to explain the source of her wealth. She didn’t even have a backer, which meant she couldn’t protect her wealth in this chaotic place.
Probably, she should leave this country and go to a safer nation – a place where there was no war. Should I go to China? There are also some Chinese people here, and I have done some business with the Chinese. Those men seem proud when they talk about their own country.
Caroline had paid attention to some foreign news. Her impression of this country was still at the Olympic Games that were held not long ago. It seemed to be a country that loved sports.
In addition, it was also a nationalistic country. She heard that there had been incidents of the evacuation of overseas Chinese before. This country had ruled out terrorists’ entries.
Also, it seemed that men in this country were welcoming to virgins? But how could she get the citizen registration of this country?
She thought a lot, most of which were things that she had never done before. She had only one idea, but she didn’t know how to do it.
“Caroline! Caroline!”
It was Mario’s voice. Mario had already placed the cooked food in front of her table.
“Ah? Did you call me?” Caroline recovered from her thoughts. “Sorry, I’m thinking about something else.”
“It’s fine. Eat up! I’m almost off work.” Mario blew a kiss to Caroline. “Maybe you can see me when you get home, sweetheart.”
It seemed that he was going to find Livia.
Caroline suddenly became upset. All the thoughts in her mind disappeared.
Mario’s words seemed to be constantly reminding her that she was just a prostitute who had no other survival skills except for betraying her body. She knew nothing, had no expertise, and couldn’t even craft her life plan… She was a prostitute.
