Fortunately, although the phone is not covered by free repairs, it's not too badly damaged, and can still be used after some repairs. When the repairman handed me the phone in perfect condition, the stone that had been hanging in my heart finally dropped.
Lin Haoming The evidence of the affair has not been lost. I need to hurry home to back it up, just in case a situation like today happens again. It's almost giving me a heart attack.
As I turned on the phone, I gestured to the man next to me to pay for the repairs. I saw him rummaging through his worn canvas bag, slowly pulling out a few crumpled bills, and even some small-denomination notes like one yuan and five jiao.
Even though he emptied out his canvas bag, the paper money he found was still not enough to cover the maintenance fee. Looking at the crumpled stack of bills in front of him, the man's face visibly reddened, and his youthful face was filled with shyness and apology.
"Now you can use electronic payment. If you don't have enough paper money, you can use WeChat or Alipay," I "kindly" reminded him.
He quickly replied on the paper, "I forgot to bring my phone. I left it at home..."
"Why do some people still go out without bringing their phones in today's society?" I grabbed his arm, appearing to be somewhat agitated on the surface, but in reality, I just wanted to hear what he was really thinking. However, his inner turmoil and apologies were evident, for not bringing his phone when going out and for not being able to pay the repair fee on time. Suddenly, I realized why he was communicating with me using a notebook instead of typing on his phone - he didn't have his phone with him. And why he hesitated when I mentioned direct repairs - it was because he didn't have enough cash with him.
"I am not a fraud. I will really repay the repair costs. Please believe me," he pleaded bitterly in his heart.
He is really a simple-minded person, I silently sighed, in stark contrast to Lin Haoming. How could I have been so blind to fall for a man like this? I can't figure it out.
Perhaps, when people first meet, they are all simple and beautiful...
At this moment, my phone started to boot up normally, and WeChat messages kept popping up one after another.
Xu Qiuqiu: What's going on??? I just woke up, and you said last night that he proposed to you, how come you're breaking up as soon as I close my eyes and open them again?
Mom: Nana, Xiaoming said you were insisting on breaking up, and he's feeling sad all by himself. What's going on with you two?
Looking at the message bar with 99+ messages, my head started to ache faintly. I had only left my phone for less than a morning, how did I receive so many messages? And the main contributor to these messages, of course, is that scumbag Lin Haoming.
"Nana, why aren't you replying to my messages?"
"Darling, can we not break up..."
"Loruluna, unless you find a boyfriend immediately, I will not give up on you."
In just a few hours, Lin Haoming recounted our past fifteen years of experiences, of course, many of which were newly fabricated by him, as they did not match my memories at all.
Lin Haoming Seeing that soft tactics and hard persuasion are not working, he finally starts to reveal his ugly face, wanting to engage in a life-and-death struggle with me, entangling me to the point where I can never turn over in the future. The phrase "find a boyfriend immediately" stung my eyes fiercely, and a ridiculous idea emerged in my mind. I gritted my teeth and turned to the man who had been standing by my side all along, "Are you an adult?" He obviously froze, beginning to ponder why I would ask such a question.
Seeing him lower his head and ponder obediently, I lost my patience and pulled his arm, wanting to hear his true answer. "I'm already an adult, but why does she have to ask like that? Just because I can't afford the repair fee, does she want to send me to the police station..." Being an adult is fine, otherwise I'm afraid of being accused of luring minors. It's not that I'm overthinking, but his appearance and the fact that he doesn't carry a phone easily make me doubt whether he is really an adult. He held the black pen in his hand, lifted it and then put it down. I snatched the thing from his hand and quickly wrote on the paper, "Can't you afford the repair fee now?"
"Yes, how would you like to compensate?" He carefully wrote, looking into my dog's eyes with a sense of humility.
"How to compensate? With your flesh! Be my boyfriend for a while."
His eyes blinked a few times, and after reading what I wrote, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a few traces of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of guilt arose in my heart for bullying fluff at home. I couldn't help but grab a handful of his fluffy hair. The texture felt really nice.
"What do you mean? Although I am deaf-mute individuals, I still understand principles and integrity."
My restless mind suddenly calmed down, and I couldn't help but mock myself inwardly. Why did I have to involve an innocent person in the dispute between me and the scumbag? He looks so clean and innocent...
I shrugged, "Just kidding. I'll cover the repair costs myself. See you around." After writing that, I tossed the notebook and pen into the man's arms, paid the repair bill alone, and left without a glance back at the man beside me.
