In the afternoon, Su Keko took Li Weijie around some famous places in City A, giving him a rough impression of the city.
Although it was just a few hours in the afternoon, they managed to tour the city as they had a super sports car at their disposal and no fixed destination. If they encountered traffic jams, they would change routes and go to other places. So, they covered the entire city.
In the evening, Su Keko treated Li Weijie to French cuisine at a French restaurant.
After ordering the food, Li Weijie couldn't help but whisper to Su Keko after the waiter left, "We agreed earlier that you would treat me now, and I would treat you later after I receive my salary. But now I have an additional condition..."
"It's that we can't go to such an expensive place, right?" Su Keko preemptively chuckled.
Li Weijie nodded naturally, "Of course! Think about it, when you treat me to a high-end meal, you only spend a fraction of a percent or a fraction of a thousandth of your money. But when I treat you to a cheaper meal, it still costs me a fraction of a percent of my money. So, proportionally speaking, I'm spending more money."
Su Keko couldn't help but laugh, "You, you're shamelessly defending your stinginess. What kind of twisted reasoning is that?"
"Haha, twisted reasoning is still a kind of reasoning."
"Ha, with your stinginess, how do you expect to win over a girl? Girls like generous and magnanimous men. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend," Su Keko teased.
A smile froze on Li Weijie's face as he instantly thought of Xiao Lan. Although he had been busy working this past month and hadn't had time to think about Xiao Lan due to Su Keko's constant interruptions, his heart stung a little. He thought about Su Keko's words and sighed to himself. It seems that people are indeed realistic. When girls say they like generous men, they are essentially saying they like men with more money. Without money, how can one afford to be generous?
Sigh... let it go. It's better to understand this reality. Li Weijie found some solace in his heart.
Being wealthy, like Su Keko's parents, brings too many burdens and responsibilities. There's no time to enjoy the pleasures of money, and it becomes a slave to money. This kind of life is not what Li Weijie desires, but he also understands that he must have a decent economic foundation to live a carefree life.
"Hey, Li Weijie, you're not getting angry with what I just said, are you?" Su Keko pouted slightly. "Hey, with your attitude, no girl will be interested in you. Anyone would find a stingy man more unbearable compared to a thrifty man!"
Li Weijie snapped out of his thoughts and regained his smile. "Come on, am I someone who gets angry easily? I was just thinking about the environment here and pretending to be deep for a moment. Maybe it adds a little charm."
He lightly brushed off the awkward and sad incident with a joke, feeling much lighter now that he had figured things out.
Seeing that he didn't mind, Su Keko relaxed, "That's good. Since I taught you two moves to win over girls, don't you think you should treat me to a meal more often?"
Li Weijie couldn't help but laugh, "Does that count?" He chuckled inwardly, "She taught me two moves? I have more experience than her, and she hasn't even been in a relationship before. It's all just theoretical talk!"
"Yeah, I was your free tour guide today, so you should treat me to this meal. Now that I've treated you, you owe me three meals!"
After the conversation in the car that afternoon, their friendship was established, but it was still a bit awkward. However, after spending the afternoon together, they naturally became more comfortable around each other. So, Su Keko joked casually.
Li Weijie raised his eyebrows, "No problem, I'll treat you to whatever..."
"Proportionally, you're spending more!" Su Keko interrupted with a smile, articulating his thoughts.
"Good to know, so don't expect too much," Li Weijie smiled. He chuckled inwardly, even if a man should be generous, being generous in front of her is child's play to me! I'm not even trying to pursue her, so it's better to save the money and not spend it recklessly.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't treat me with instant noodles."
"Hey, actually, this is all for your good. Think about it, you've gotten tired of eating at these high-end restaurants. Maybe it's more suitable for you to go to a commoner's place with me."
"You're just coming up with twisted reasoning again, aren't you?" Su Keko pursed her lips and smiled, seemingly not believing his words.
"But isn't it true? Although it's a flimsy excuse to cover up my stinginess, it does make sense," Li Weijie said, maintaining a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
They finished their dinner amid relaxed and casual conversation.
Towards the end, Su Keko suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, how did you end up living there? That neighborhood is pretty good, but it seems like the houses aren't for rent."
It was where they first met, so Li Weijie was hesitant to find an excuse. Given his current situation, buying a house there was out of the question.
Anyway, there was nothing to hide, so Li Weijie simply said, "I came to seek refuge with Rong. So, I work at her shop and temporarily live at her place. You know I don't have much money now."
Upon hearing Li Weijie's words, Su Keko's eyes flickered with surprise, and she burst into laughter. "Haha! I should have guessed. How coincidental!"
"What's so coincidental?" Li Weijie was a bit puzzled.
"Hehe, the first time we met, I was at Sister Rong's place. She said she had a friend coming, so I left. It must have been when you arrived, right?" Su Keko chuckled.
Li Weijie was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, that's coincidental. I didn't expect us to meet the same friend at different times. Fortunately, we didn't become enemies!"
"Hmph, it's not a coincidence, it's clearly..." Su Keko mumbled for a moment, but then let the matter go since it was already in the past.
"So... you're quite close to Sister Rong, huh?" Su Keko's eyes flickered with a hint of complexity, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
At that moment, a person approached them with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Miss Su? Did you catch a new pretty boy?"
