The smell of the roadside stall made Li Muchen feel like he was back when he was a child.
At that time, the streets were not as neat and clean as this, but they were much livelier than now, with food stalls like this everywhere.
Li Muchen, Ma Shan and Ding Xiang often sit on the edge of the road and watch the diners from a distance.
They can't afford it, but even smelling it is a kind of satisfaction.
Ma Shan often smacks his lips and says, "When I grow up, I will make a lot of money and eat barbecue every day!"
Children are so innocent. Even if they are polluted by society and know how to make money, they only want to eat barbecue.
Seeing that Li Muchen was in a daze, Lin Manqing started playing with her mobile phone.
Li Muchen came back to his senses and curiously leaned over to take a look.
Lin Manqing slammed her phone shut on the table, "How could you peek at my WeChat messages?"
“Is this the WeChat you are talking about?”
"You really don't know how to play with a smartphone?"
Li Muchen shook his head blankly.
Lin Manqing thought for a moment and said, "Wait here."
He stood up, crossed the street, and walked into the shopping mall opposite.
Li Muchen saw the two people on the table next to him also standing up, but when he saw that he didn't move, one of them sat down and the other followed.
Li Muchen judged that these two people should be coming for Lin Manqing.
He pretended not to see it and drank his beer with his head down.
After a while, Lin Manqing came back with a bag in her hand.
The man who followed her also came back and sat down at the next table. The two of them lowered their heads and talked about something.
"Here you go." Lin Manqing handed the bag to Li Muchen.
"What?"
"Mobile phone."
Li Muchen took the bag, took out an exquisite mobile phone box, opened it, and found a large-screen mobile phone inside.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Given to you." Lin Manqing said.
Li Muchen shook his head: "I don't know how to use it, and it's useless."
"You don't know how to use me to teach you. How could it be useless?"
As she spoke, Lin Manqing took out her new phone, turned it on, and began to teach Li Muchen how to use the smartphone.
Li Muchen was dumbfounded, why is this thing so complicated?
In the past ten years or so, he has not always stayed on the mountain and stayed away from worldly affairs. Occasionally he would go down to do business.
But he has never used a smartphone. It’s not that he doesn’t have money to buy one, but that he can’t use it.
The only use of his mobile phone is to communicate with his brothers and major sects when doing business.
When he was in the bar, he said that Zhou Xu couldn't afford to pay for breaking his cell phone. He wasn't bragging because his cell phone contained the phone numbers of the heads or main contacts of the major immortal sects.
The value of this address book cannot be measured by worldly wealth.
During the teaching process, Lin Manqing finally believed that Li Muchen had never been exposed to a smartphone and did not even understand many things in modern society.
"You didn't come from time travel, did you?" Lin Manqing joked.
"What is time travel?" Li Muchen asked.
Lin Manqing shook her head helplessly, while teaching him how to use the mobile phone and telling him some common sense about modern society.
Li Muchen quickly mastered the basic functions of his mobile phone, registered a WeChat account, and added Lin Manqing's WeChat account.
The next problem is that Li Muchen can't type.
Although he learned Pinyin when he was a child, he was still at a loss with the unfamiliar keyboard.
"This is too difficult, even harder than cultivating an immortal!" Li Muchen complained.
He could only use the handwriting function and struggled to send his first WeChat message to Lin Manqing:
'Hello'
‘Li Muchen, please give me some advice (cup fists)’
Lin Manqing couldn't help but laugh when she saw such an ancient way of talking, still written in traditional Chinese characters, and replied with a message:
‘Don’t dare to act (holding fists)’
I thought the conversation was over, but I didn’t expect that Li Muchen sent another message:
'Do you have any enemies?'
Lin Manqing was stunned and replied:
'No'
Then he sent a ‘?’
She didn't understand why Li Muchen would ask this, but she saw Li Muchen swiping on his phone for a long time and then sent another sentence:
‘Don’t go out alone at night from now on, be careful of strange men’
Lin Manqing felt even more strange and did not reply to the message, looking at Li Muchen.
Li Muchen was still swiping on the screen and sent this sentence:
'You are so beautiful'
Lin Manqing didn't expect that this guy would flirt in this way.
Although it is a very ordinary sentence, it has an unexpected effect because of the ancient and clichéd foreshadowing.
If a man compliments her like this to her face, she won't feel anything and may even feel disgusted.
But now she felt so happy in her heart. The man opposite her seemed really out of touch with society, but he was not a boring person.
As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, most of the time when she goes out, she is escorted by a driver, and sometimes she is accompanied by bodyguards.
It is rare to have such an opportunity to sit alone with a man at a roadside stall and eat late night snacks without anyone else disturbing you.
At this time, Lin Manqing felt that she was real and alive.
She is no longer the "eldest lady" living in the Lin family.
‘Then are you considered a strange man?’ Lin Manqing replied.
'Of course not, I am your fiancé'
'roll!'
Lin Manqing put down her phone pretending to be angry, but she was not angry in her heart.
But Li Muchen seemed to take it seriously. He replied: "Okay", stood up and left.
Lin Manqing was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Muchen's leaving figure, wondering what was going on.
Are you so incapable of taking a joke?
You were obviously the one who made the joke first.
Then I thought again, maybe people from the mountains wouldn't be able to accept the word "get out".
Alas, I really shouldn't have said that.
Lin Manqing felt a little guilty and wanted to stop Li Muchen and tell him: Hey, I was joking.
But the eldest lady's reserve prevented her from speaking.
My heart suddenly felt empty, as if I had lost something.
His eyes turned red, and he said silently: Forget it, just leave. Who cares about your company?
Lin Manqing picked up her bag and mobile phone and walked along the road in the opposite direction to Li Muchen.
She didn't notice that the two men at the table next to her looked at each other and stood up, following closely behind her.
After passing through an intersection, there is a park ahead.
It was getting late, the square dancing ladies had already left, and only a few people were still walking in the park.
Lin Manqing walked into the park. There was a river inside. The lights along the river were dim and there were almost no pedestrians.
At this time, two men suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her.
"Beauty, isn't it lonely walking alone so late at night?" one of the men said obscenely.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Manqing was surprised.
"Of course I'm going to fuck you!" The man's eyes searched Lin Manqing up and down unscrupulously, and finally stopped on her chest.
"Go away or I'll call the police."
As soon as Lin Manqing finished saying this, the bag in her hand was snatched away by a man.
The man took out the mobile phone from her bag and shook it in his hand.
"Report it, let me see what you are calling the police for, you might as well hug me, hahaha!"
Lin Manqing was shocked: "Return the bag to me quickly, I'm calling someone!"
"Okay, give it back to you." The man handed the bag over and waved it in front of her.
Another man took the opportunity and covered her mouth from behind.
