My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

"it's me!"

Wang Yuting readily admitted it.

"Is it too much for me to hold you and smell you now?"

"Absolutely no problem, of course, of course."

Then I had a good hug.

"Jiujiu, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, go ahead and ask."

Which hand do you usually use?

"You use your right thumb to unlock your phone."

"Damn it, it's so meticulous."

Wang Yuting snorted in dissatisfaction. Lin Jiu was almost asleep with his head on her shoulder, but he was still wide awake.

She placed Lin Jiu's phone on the table, took out her own phone, opened settings, and added a fingerprint.

"Come on, give me your hand."

"You're talking like you're going to chop my hand off," Lin Jiu complained, but still stretched out her right hand, pressed her index finger on the home screen button of Wang Yuting's phone, and then moved it away, repeating the operation.

"Then let me tell you a comedy about breaking up."

Wang Yuting thought for a moment, sat up straight, and coughed softly.

"In a small wooden cabin, the warm firelight illuminated the figures of two people, a young man and a woman."

"The man hesitated for a long time, but he could no longer hold on; he was exhausted."

The man said to the woman next to him, "Let's break up."

"The woman was heartbroken; her face was streaked with dried tears, but she still bit her lip and agreed."

Wang Yuting speaks like a storyteller, her manner of speaking is rhythmic and melodious.

Lin Jiu listened intently, imagining a couple breaking up due to unavoidable circumstances.

"This is the last time." Wang Yuting's voice suddenly became very low and hoarse, as if she was on the verge of losing control of her emotions.

"Thank you for giving me so much all this time." Her voice suddenly choked with emotion, stirring the emotions of the audience and making them feel reluctant to part.

"Forget it, we both need a fresh start." Wang Yuting sighed softly, perfectly portraying the emotional shifts of a couple parting. The dialogue between the man and woman flowed smoothly and naturally, without any pauses, and the transitions were just right.

Lin Jiu was surprised that Wang Yuting was also good at acting in stage plays; her acting skills were not like those of a newcomer.

Thinking back, Wang Yuting once spent a year pretending to be an ordinary customer and going to Wango convenience stores to see Lin Jiu.

She acted very naturally, just like a typical working woman buying drinks, food, and household items at a convenience store after get off work, with absolutely nothing suspicious about her.

The fact that Lin Jiu didn't notice anything amiss shows that Wang Yuting's acting skills are quite remarkable.

At work, Lin Jiu kept a record of all the repeat customers, and he was able to greet different customers in different ways.

Some people feel happy when the shop assistant remembers them, which creates a sense of anticipation.

Sometimes, even if it's a long detour, I'll still come to this store to buy a bottle of water, chat about the weather, and exchange a few simple pleasantries, which can brighten my day. It's like being with a close yet unfamiliar friend, maintaining a social distance, yet making me feel relaxed.

Of course, some people don't want to receive too much attention and try their best to conceal their identity.

For customers like this, Lin Jiu always greets them as if it's their first meeting. She doesn't try to recommend any in-store promotions; instead, she quickly scans the code to pay, which makes the customer feel at ease.

Compared to the former, Lin Jiu actually encountered the latter more often.

In this fast-paced era, everyone is overwhelmed by the demands of life, and sometimes having personal space is a blessing. Like Uncle Yang, the convenience store manager, his most peaceful moment each day is lighting a cigarette downstairs from his home, quietly enjoying five minutes of tranquility, before extinguishing the cigarette butt and tossing it into the designated cigarette butt bin.

In this society, besides people with social anxiety disorder, there are also people with social phobia.

At this point, all you need to do is be understanding and tolerant, allowing customers to shop with the most peace of mind, in order to guarantee customer return rates.

These are principles that Lin Jiu observed and summarized himself; ordinary office workers wouldn't think about them at all. He simply made good use of his memory to do his best in his ordinary work.

This is why Lin Jiu was able to detect two suspicious individuals as soon as he entered the store last Friday. His keen observation and memory, coupled with his analytical skills, meant that almost nothing could escape his notice—except for Wang Yuting.

Lin Jiu thought about it more and more and felt that Wang Yuting's acting skills were outstanding. She had been right under his nose for a whole year, and he hadn't noticed anything wrong with her. With such acting skills and such looks, it was a real shame she wasn't acting in TV dramas.

"……Then what?"

Lin Jiu asked earnestly.

Isn't this a comedy about breaking up?

The two broke up, so what follows should be a happy ending with them getting back together, right?

"Three days later, news reports indicated an avalanche at a tourist resort. Two tourists survived, while one remained missing," Wang Yuting said in a low voice. "It was confirmed that the two tourists came from different places and did not know each other before the accident."

"Oh, so that means these two aren't a couple...wait?"

Lin Jiu nodded, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

separate……

separate……

Two survived, one is missing...

Forget about it, we all need a fresh start.

Lin Jiu's eyes widened, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he shouted, "This is no comedy!!"

"I haven't finished yet, listen to me, listen to me."

Wang Yuting coughed lightly and spoke in a journalist's tone: "According to the interview, the two survivors were lucky enough to encounter a wild boar that had crashed into a tree and died on the mountain. The meat provided by this boar allowed them to survive for three days until the Blue Sky Rescue Team successfully found them on the mountain. Later, the Blue Sky Rescue Team found the place where they had found the wild boar and found the missing man, barely alive, in the tree. The man had hurriedly climbed the tree because he was being chased by the wild boar, but couldn't get down and collapsed from hunger and exhaustion."

"In the end, everyone returned home safely, which is truly a cause for celebration," Wang Yuting added.

"It's not funny at all! This isn't a comedy! This is clearly a domestic horror story!!" Lin Jiu hugged his shoulders, suddenly feeling the air grow colder. The scariest ghost stories are often those that scare you the most.

"Hey……"

Looking at Lin Jiu's expression, Wang Yuting revealed a malicious smile.

"Jiu Jiu, are you afraid of horror movies?"

"...I'm not afraid of domestically produced horror films."

Lin Jiu was silent for a moment, then answered softly.

After all, no matter how scary the process of a domestically produced horror film is, the ending is often the same.

Either someone is deliberately playing tricks, or someone is so frightened by the trickster that they develop a mental illness, or it's just a day trip to Yunnan. Red umbrellas, white poles, eat together, sleep on planks, lie in coffins, and then be buried together on the mountain.

"I see~"

Wang Yuting let out an extremely cheerful sound.

Her smile became especially radiant, even more dazzling than the sunset outside the window.

Lin Jiu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Run! Lin Jiu! Run! !

Wang Yuting suggested with great interest, "Jiujiu, let's go see a movie tonight!"

"turn down!"

Lin Jiu refused reflexively.

Wang Yuting pouted in dissatisfaction and complained, "I haven't even said I'm watching a horror movie yet."

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Lin Jiu crossed her arms in front of her chest, striking a firm refusal pose.

"Then I'll give you a choice: either show me your phone, or you come watch a movie with me."

Wang Yuting placed Lin Jiu's phone and TV remote together, giving Lin Jiu a choice between the two.

In fact, she had already guessed who Lin Jiu was chatting with.

Without a doubt, it must be that female classmate!

For a fleeting moment, Wang Yuting saw a message from someone whose contact name was "Class Monitor"!

To be honest, Wang Yuting would feel a little pressure if it were that young girl, but only a little.

In contrast, Wang Yuting felt that Tan, the manager, was a more threatening woman who was so promiscuous that she chatted with other women's boyfriends.

Wang Yuting understood; she knew very well that teenage boys couldn't resist older women! Those wicked aunties always used their voluptuous figures, so different from those of budding teenage girls, to seduce people, and coupled with their money, no boy could resist the temptation.

To put it bluntly, boys are simple creatures and are easily deceived by bad women.

Ok?

Why do I have such a strong sense of déjà vu?

Wang Yuting glanced down at her chest.

She could barely see her feet when she lowered her head.

Wang Yuting suddenly realized that she seemed to have also captivated Lin Jiu in the same way. However, she wasn't that much older, and even if there was a difference in their ages, it was only about the price of a gold brick... well, a slightly heavy gold brick.

A woman three years older than her husband is considered very fortunate.

A woman thirty years older is destined to rule the world.

A woman three hundred years older than a man will be given an elixir of immortality.

A woman three thousand years older than herself will be ranked among the immortals.

A woman who is 30,000 years older than her father will be fed by the Queen Mother of the West.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Wang Yuting is significantly younger than Supervisor Tan.

Wang Yuting proudly raised her chin; this is the confidence of a young person—she is full of self-assurance.

I haven't sagged! Nor have I become hard!

"Choose one, do you want this fire poker or my stick?" Wang Yuting said to Lin Jiu, holding Lin Jiu's phone in her left hand and the TV remote in her right.

"Stop for a second, is something wrong?"

"Don't worry about the details!" Wang Yuting muttered softly. "I just want to say a classic line! Anyway, which one do you choose?" She stretched out her hands, letting Lin Jiu make the decision.
