He ruffled her hair, "Human nature is complicated, but life should be simple."
"..." No one had ever said anything like this to her before. Most people liked to pretend to be profound, which made them seem knowledgeable and deep. A simple article had to be analyzed into as many points as possible, and the aning of a small matter had to be dissected thoroughly. No one had ever told her that life was simple. "Mr. Su, how should one live simply?"
"Very simply, be a shallow person."
"Ha..." She laughed. "Mr. Su, you are the chief reporter, a benchmark of writing. Don’t tell you don’t know that ’shallow’ is a derogatory term!"
"Why not?" he retorted. "Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired, chase your dreams, be with the person you like. Follow your heart in everything, starting with your true self. Don’t be so profound. No matter how complicated the world is, or how tough life gets, spiritually, it is simple."
She thought for a mont, "It does sound pretty simple."
"How complicated can it be?" He tapped her head. "Co on, starting with our true selves, now our true selves are hungry, let’s go have lunch! What do you feel like eating?"
"I’m easy! When I go out with Hao Ren, it’s always a simple al!"
Su Ronggui’s expression changed, and after a mont of silence, he said, "Then I’ll take you sowhere." He made a phone call as he spoke.
Tu Hengsha never expected that a working lunch, which could have been a simple affair, would lead Mr. Su to take her to a Hello Kitty-thed restaurant near a university. The room was full of pink and white, and crowded with students during lunchti; many were waiting at the door.
"My surna is Su, I have a reservation," he told the waiter at the door.
The young waiter led them inside, and Tu Hengsha was stunned by the dreamy, princess-style decor and atmosphere of the restaurant, snapping photos continuously with her phone. Not only was the restaurant beautiful, but even the waitstaff were all good-looking n and won.
Seeing her delight, Su was quite pleased and asked her, "Is it better to go out with or with Hao Ren?"
"It has to be Mr. Su!" She aid her phone at the young waiter approaching them and snapped several photos. Wow, this guy was really handso!
The young waiter brought them the nu, which was pink, and even his clothes were part of the restaurant’s uniform, with a Hello Kitty logo on his chest that was quite amusing...
She finally set her phone down, ordered dishes for two, and asked with a smile, "How did you know about this restaurant? Did you graduate from this university?"
"It’s kind of run by an old friend of mine," he replied.
"A guy opened it?" She was increasingly curious. "Not easy at all! Could it be his heart harbors a little princess?"
He smiled but said nothing.
Unlike so restaurants that use decor as a gimmick, the dishes here were surprisingly tasty, earning Tu Hengsha’s endless praise.
After they finished eating, the sa young waiter ca to settle the bill. Tu Hengsha couldn’t hold back, handed her phone to Su Ronggui, and said, "Take a picture of with the young waiter! This cartoon logo on his clothes is particularly cute!"
"..." Su Ronggui maintained a tight yet polite smile.
"Co on, hurry up!" She dared to hurry him along.
Taking pictures, right? "Sure!" he said, snapping several photos in succession, and then he grabbed his clueless girlfriend and left directly.
"Aren’t you going to let see? I want to know how they turned out! If they’re not good, we can retake them!" Tu Hengsha protested all the way but was still dragged out of the restaurant by Su Ronggui.
Then, Mr. Su handed the phone back to her.
She opened the album, only to find herself fuming silently. What kind of photos were these? A total of four, two of which captured the young man from the shoulders up, while she showed only her forehead; the other two showed her face, but the young man appeared only from the shoulders down, turning it into a photo of her with Hello Kitty.
She angrily showed him the first two, "Where am I? Tell , where am I?"
He glanced at them, "You’re just short!"
"..." She wondered if she had pampered Mr. Su too much, that he had no will to live. She threw out the other two, "What about these? How do you explain these?"
He glanced again, "Don’t you like that cartoon character?"
"..." Tu Hengsha was speechless with anger, mimicked him by storming off in a huff. No longer tolerating her boyfriend’s arrogant little temper! She had her moods too!
As she walked, she looked down and wrote a review of the restaurant they had just visited: Great environnt, excellent taste, and lots of good-looking young n. Unfortunately, my photos were ruined by my boyfriend who can’t take pictures. He even had the nerve to mock for being short and claid I liked Hello Kitty when I clearly liked the young man’s looks more! Such a boyfriend, do I keep him around for the new year?
He caught up with her, seeing her busy with her head down, he asked, "What are you doing?"
She grunted twice, uploaded the pictures, and pressed send right in front of him.
Restaurant review, huh?
He took out his own phone to check, only to see that the latest review of the restaurant included the two photos he had just taken, and when he read the text, two sentences jumped out at him: Liked the handso guy’s looks more! Do I keep him around for the new year?
He instantly got angry, "Tu Hengsha!"
She stuffed her phone into her pocket and strode forward without a glance back.
"Stop right there! Can’t you be more mature?" he shouted, and she just started running.
At this mont, his phone rang. It was Ning Shiqian.
He continued to pursue her while answering the call, and by the ti it ended, he had grabbed her. "Stop fooling around. Ning Si called and wants us to go to the police station."
They t the victim’s family mbers at the precinct. Ning Shiqian had already taken her to identify the body. The woman was crying inside the precinct.
As they approached, they saw a scar over an inch long on her forehead, stitched up.
"I had taken my daughter back to my parents’ ho for over a week. I never imagined... coming back... I’d never see him again... My daughter was clamoring for her father back ho, and I said I’d bring her back in a couple of days... How am I going to explain to my daughter now that I’m back..." The woman sobbed uncontrollably.
Tu Hengsha feared the pain of parting through life and death. The woman’s crying made her heart ache. Having experienced being an orphan, she couldn’t help but feel sympathy for this woman. Seeing the scar on her forehead, she felt heartbroken and couldn’t help but ask, "How did you hurt yourself here?"
The woman sniffled, "I accidentally injured myself while working at my parents’ house."
Tu Hengsha sighed silently, not knowing what to say. One must be strong and have faith, or else the words of others beco powerless. Her faith in childhood was a little boy, and as for this woman, what was her faith?
