I'm in high school, is my dating system working correctly?

Chapter 104 Have you all met the parents?

After eating the boneless chicken strips, the two continued walking into the alley.

When I was in junior high school, the alley seemed so long, but now when I walk through it, it seems too short.

Lu Yu had once heard that children's senses are very sharp, so their senses are different from those of adults.

Foods that tasted delicious when you were a child just don't taste the same when you eat them again as an adult.

What used to seem like an endless road, I can now walk again and reach the end in just a few steps.

When I was a kid, getting into trouble felt like the sky was falling, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like such a big deal.

"I'll treat you to spicy hot pot."

Lu Yu pointed to the end of the alley, where a Sichuan-style spicy hot pot restaurant connected to the commercial pedestrian street. In junior high school, they could sneak out for lunch, and the two of them would often order a pot to share.

"Okay, then I'll order a lot."

Zhou Qianyun nodded.

"Oh, it's you guys."

The boss was a slightly gray-haired, somewhat plump auntie who immediately smiled when she saw Lu Yu and Zhou Qianyun.

"The boss still remembers us."

Lu Ruo responded with a smile, and casually tore off a few sheets of napkins to wipe the plastic sheet next to Zhou Qianyun, but couldn't remove a single trace of oil.

Zhou Qianyun lifted her skirt and sat down, then casually handed two napkins to Lu Yu.

Steamed clams!

"You big dummy, clam!"

Zhou Qianyun's expression immediately changed.

"Do you want to do the same thing as before?"

The boss came over and wiped the table twice with a rag, then casually asked...

"Okay, you still remember that."

Lu Yu wiped the chair with a tissue and sat down.

Although the table is old and has a patina, it is very clean. The containers on the table that hold chili peppers and aged vinegar are very new, so it seems to be replaced regularly.

"Of course I remember. You two always order the same pot, with the same dishes, and you come every Thursday. How could I not remember?"

Back in junior high, the "Crazy Thursday" meme was popular, but Lu Yu couldn't really afford KFC. So Zhou Qianyun thought that having a family-style spicy hot pot meal on Thursday would be crazy enough.

Later, the two of them would come every Thursday, order the biggest pot, and eat there until graduation.

"I'm going to buy a drink, Snow King. What do you want?"

"Lemonade, iced, regular sugar is fine."

Zhou Qianyun responded and started chatting with the boss again.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and figured that nothing special had happened between them at the mala tang restaurant to cause them to chat so much that they hadn't gone off on a tangent.

He walked a few steps towards the commercial street and then went to queue up in front of the Snow King store.

Two shops away, where there used to be a small restaurant, it has now been transformed into one of those trendy boutique coffee shops that sells you coffee and expects you to taste the floral and fruity aromas.

That does fit the vibe of a pedestrian street.

but.

[Elementary Listening] sounded the alarm for Lu Yu.

A familiar voice came from inside.

"Yes, I've worked hard in the capital for many years to achieve what I have today. I understand the hardships you described in starting a business."

It was Qin Dongyu.

Some people may have already forgotten about this thing.

He was Cheng Bailu's uncle. He came to the school the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, wanting Cheng Bailu to transfer to the capital and live with his family. As a result, he was scolded by Lu Yu.

The only good thing I did was to let Lu Yu and Cheng Bailu spend a pleasant evening holding hands.

That concludes my recollection.

No, shouldn't this guy have left Jiangcheng and returned to the capital long ago?

It's been a week since Mid-Autumn Festival, and the monthly exams are all over. What are we still doing in Jiangcheng?

Lu Yu looked in the direction of the sound.

In that boutique coffee shop, Qin Dongyu sat opposite a woman in her forties who was well-maintained, drinking coffee.

Because they were separated by glass, they couldn't hear each other's conversation.

Fortunately, Lu Yu possessed the [Elementary Listening] skill.

"Yes, my wife passed away early, and I have been supporting the business she left behind all these years. People say I am just sitting around and living off my savings, but only I know how hard it has been."

The woman said after taking a sip of her coffee.

"Yes, yes, I felt you had an extraordinary aura at first glance. I didn't expect you to have such an experience. Those nights of struggling alone must have been quite tough. I was alone in the capital, and I was quite lonely at night too."

Qin Dongyu said as if he were speaking with great emotion.

Dude, aren't you married? What are you having a heart-to-heart talk with your auntie about?

Lu Yu received the Mixue Ice Cream and listened for a while longer.

"Look, this is a photo I took last month. I finished a cross-border collaboration and looked at the night view outside the window, and suddenly thought it was very beautiful."

Qin Dongyu's affected voice came again.

"Oh my, this is the Guomao area, right? The night view is really beautiful, and you have a great figure in the photos too."

The older woman's voice rose a little.

"If you have the chance to come to the capital, I can take you to see my house. I usually work and live there, but when I'm resting, I prefer to go to my villa in the suburbs to exercise and soak up the sun."

Qin Dongyu's words were loaded with meaning.

Stop, stop, stop! Are you trying to hook up with a rich woman?

something wrong.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment.

Previously, people only thought that Qin Dongyu had married a woman from the capital and was now enjoying great success.

Now, listening to him talk, he's practically become a diamond bachelor?

Take another look.

The intermediate weather forecast includes sentiment analysis.

The older woman was gratified, happy, and even a little bit thrilled.

Qin Dongyu was nervous, excited, cautious, and thrilled.

have to.

Fortunately, Cheng Bailu and I managed to control ourselves at the time.

No.

Fortunately, Cheng Bailu and I did not listen to Qin Dongyu's words at the time, and we held our own principles and were not snobbish.

So this guy is a complete fraud.

Classic romance scam tactics.

He would use social media to pretend to be a wealthy, eligible bachelor, then approach these lonely, rich women, offering them emotional support. If he met a smart one, he could make some money by playing games with her; if he met a fool, he would lose both his money and his love.

If even one-tenth of what he said to Cheng Bailu back then was true, then he would be considered honest.

Even the previous plan to have Qin Sangyu remarry was probably all a scheme.

If you actually believe it and go with them, you might end up being sold off somewhere.

That's disgusting! He even lied to his own sister and niece.

Lu Yu's sense of justice and courage was stirred.

"Lu Yu, what are you looking at?"

A tap was patted on the shoulder. Turning around, I saw Zhou Qianyun.

They probably came looking for him because he hadn't been back for so long.

"I saw someone I recognize, Cheng Bailu's uncle."

Lu Yu pointed towards the coffee shop.

"Her uncle, have you met the parents yet?"

Zhou Qianyun blurted it out.

"What the hell is this about meeting the parents? Have you ever studied Chinese?"

Lu Yu handed the lemonade to Zhou Qianyun.

"Her uncle came to the school to see her before, and I happened to be there, so I helped him out of the situation. That guy wasn't a good person."

"Oh...that's true, I've never heard her mention having this relative before."

Zhou Qianyun took the lemonade and nodded.

As the class monitor, Cheng Bailu's family situation was fairly clear to her, and she had indeed never heard of such a person.

"Look, he's lying to that old lady across the street."

Lu Yu highlighted the key points and briefly explained his judgment.

"...Holy crap, that's outrageous! How can there be such a person in this world?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qianyun was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"so."

Lu Yu had an idea.

"Let's call the police first, and then, before anyone arrives, let's go and stall him to prevent him from running away."

"Uh-huh."

As Zhou Qianyun spoke, she took out her phone and glanced back at the spicy hot pot.

"What about the mala tang? Never mind, I can just buy another one later. Eating melons is more important."

Those who are just watching the show say so.

Seeing Qingmei's eyes light up, Lu Yu briefly called the police to explain the situation, then walked into the coffee shop and went straight to Qin Dongyu and the old lady's table.

Zhou Qianyun followed her in, sat at the next table, pretended to be a stranger, and started recording with her phone.

"Auntie, listen to me, I know him, this guy is a liar."

Lu Yu starts with zero frames.
