Chapter 4: A Thought

Zhuo Tong went to a digital product store and replaced the mobile phone he had been using since college with a Huawei ProMax 512GB. The cashback period had just ended.

"1x cashback is like buying everything legally for free. I'm really looking forward to the next one."

I can’t imagine that if I randomly get a 1.5 cashback multiplier, it would be like the electricity meter is reversed, and the more I spend, the richer I will be.

I looked at the time and there were still four hours until six o'clock.

He found a massage chair, didn't spend a penny, and had a good sleep to make up for the sleep he missed from the fierce battle last night to this morning.

after a while--

"Drip drip"

Waking up to the alarm clock, Zhuo Tong dressed and headed to a nearby steakhouse.

At the entrance of the steak house, the chairs used for queuing were already full of people.

Among the plain faces of ordinary passers-by, only the appearance of a young girl was particularly eye-catching and aroused Zhuo Tong's interest.

The girl has pink curly hair, a tight white belly-baring outfit, a short jacket, and hip-length denim shorts.

The straight long legs are white and smooth, without any excess fat.

White calf socks and canvas shoes show youthful vitality.

With her face lightly made up, she was staring at her phone intently, typing non-stop.

At the same time, Zhuo Tong's cell phone vibrated continuously.

He picked up his phone, and it was filled with messages from Gu Yao:
[Gu Yao: Brother Zhuo, I plan to give you a surprise. Are you looking forward to it? (*ω)]

[Gu Yao: Brother Zhuo, I'm here. Where are you? Have you already gone in? (⊙_⊙)]

[Gu Yao: Brother Zhuo, you wouldn’t have forgotten, right? o(╥﹏╥)o Don’t do things like this.]

【Me: I’m at the door now】

After briefly describing his clothes, Zhuo Tong looked up and saw the pink-haired girl suddenly trotting towards him:
"Brother Zhuo!"

The girl threw herself into Zhuo Tong's arms, hugging him tightly with her arms, as if she was afraid of being separated from him again.

"You are...Gu Yao?"

Zhuo Tong was a little bit unbelievable.

The reason is simple: Gu Yao today is completely different from the past.

Gu Yao is two years younger than Zhuo Tong. They have been neighbors for more than ten years. In the past, her family background was relatively ordinary.

At that time, Gu Yao was shy and every time she went out, she would hold Zhuo Tong's hand tightly and hide behind him, not daring to communicate with strangers.

In short, she is the "green and innocent girl next door" who inspires a strong desire to protect Zhuo Tong.

Gu Yao's parents do business in other provinces all year round, so Gu Yao is alone at home and is often taken care of by Zhuo Tong's family.

Later, her parents got rich, and she went to study in another province with them. The two hadn't seen each other for four or five years.

Zhuo Tong felt a little dazed when he saw the thin and timid figure in his memory and the unrestrained and passionate girl before him.
"Who made my good sister like this?"

"Dangdang~ How about it, Brother Zhuo? Have I changed a lot over the years?"

Gu Yao reluctantly let go of her arms and looked at Zhuo Tong expectantly, hoping to get his praise.

"Yeah, you're so pretty I almost didn't recognize you. I didn't realize it's already been five years..."

Zhuo Tong placed his hands on Gu Yao's shoulders, his expression slightly emotional.

Gu Yao, who used to just follow behind him, has now grown into a beautiful woman.

Although there is no blood relationship, I always feel the vicissitudes of life as I watch my sister gradually grow up and worry that she will be kidnapped by Huang Mao.

Her personality is completely different from that of her blood-related sister who has a weird temper!

"Hehe, there's still plenty of time to reminisce about the past. Anyway, now that I'm back in Shencheng, I can always stick to Brother Zhuo~"

Gu Yao hugged Zhuo Tong's left hand, with her cheek completely pressed against his arm, like a docile kitten, rubbing her head against him.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Zhuo Tong had never before understood so intuitively what the power of time was.

Zhuo Tong was filled with emotion:

"My good sister has really grown up..."

"I've already got my tickets and lined up in advance. It's our turn soon. I've been smelling the beef at the door and I'm so hungry now!"

The reunion after a long separation was not as romantic as in the movies, but rather a bit plain and simple, but this was more in line with their past.

Gu Yao, somewhat excited, jumped up and down and pulled Zhuo Tong to the door of the steak house.

At this moment, a piece of paper floated out of the jacket pocket and was stepped on by a passerby, stuck to the sole of his shoe and carried away. "Excuse me, is customer number A1024 here?"

At the queue, the waiter was asking questions to the customers in line.

Gu Yao walked up quickly and said to the waiter:

"Well, the two of us are number A1024."

But before she could finish her words, the yellow-haired man among the young couple who were originally standing behind her stood up.

Before this, he had already seen the number paper flying out of Gu Yao's pocket.

"You've already walked out, how come it's your turn? Who knows if you're here to cut in line?"

"I was clearly in line in front of you the whole time. I just went out to pick someone up. The people behind me can also testify for me."

She looked at the other guests, but everyone turned their faces away to avoid looking at her, obviously unwilling to take the lead.

"how come……"

Although the waitress had some impression of Gu Yao, there were too many guests tonight and she couldn't remember everyone's faces, so she was a little hesitant:

"If you two have queued up, there should be corresponding numbered slips."

"Yes, I still have the number paper. I'll find it as soon as I find it..."

Gu Yao began to search all over her body, but could not find any trace of the number paper.

"Where...did it go? I kept it in my pocket."

Her pretty face was pale and her brows were furrowed, and she looked at the waiter with a blank look.

But the latter must act in accordance with the regulations and will not release the person without the number paper.

After all, there are too many guests tonight. If everyone is given a break, then do we still need to queue?
"Sorry, if there are no number tickets, you two will have to queue again."

Huangmao saw that the waiter did not let Zhuo Tong and the other two in directly, and the other people in the queue were also gloating.

After all, who would mind being able to advance one spot in the queue? So he grew a little bolder.

She unbuttoned the top two buttons of her flowery shirt, revealing a jade pendant tied around her neck with a red string.

The corners of his mouth were crooked, and he looked like a sloppy gangster.

His eyes looked up and down, examining Gu Yao's fair skin wantonly, and he licked his lips quietly.

The girl I brought tonight is beautiful, but she has a strong smell of worldly women.

Gu Yao looks like an innocent little white rabbit, so she's probably going to taste good.

He lowered his voice and said with a slightly playful tone:
"Sister, it's inconvenient for me to bring my girlfriend to dinner today. So, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll be your witness and let you go in first."

Just as he was about to take out his phone, Gu Yao immediately stepped back cautiously:

"No need. I don't have to eat at this restaurant."

She turned her head and said softly, a little aggrieved:
"Brother Zhuo, let's go to another restaurant. We can eat here again when we have the chance. It's my fault this time. I lost my number paper. I'm sorry..."

Zhuo Tong looked at the scene in front of him and felt somewhat familiar. Gu Yao was still the same as he remembered.

He is shy and always careless. Every time he makes a mistake, he apologizes profusely. His soft nature makes it difficult for others to blame him.

Even though I have become cheerful and outgoing now, this careless habit has not changed.

"It's good that you haven't changed. I can at least recognize you."

Zhuo Tong thought to himself and rubbed Gu Yao's head:

"Don't worry, it's up to your brother Zhuo."

If it were in the past, Zhuo Tong might really choose to queue up again or change to another store.

But things are different now, especially since the little yellow-haired boy dared to speak rudely to Gu Yao just now, there is no reason to tolerate him.

Zhuo Tong's expression changed from gentle to serious. He took a step forward, while Gu Yao hid behind him as she did before.

He was tall, a head taller than the little yellow-haired boy. His muscles were not at the bodybuilding level, but he was still more muscular than most people.

Zhuo Tong looked down at the little yellow-haired boy, and his reflection actually covered his entire figure, full of momentum.

The little yellow-haired boy was shocked by his powerful aura and looked flustered:

"You...what are you going to do? Are you trying to cut in on me?"

"Yes, I am going to do it."
