Chapter 390 Dried Strawberries
There are not many people at the entrance of the bar, but you can hear slightly noisy music and voices from here.
Pei Mingxu was used to a quiet atmosphere, and he seemed a little uncomfortable facing such a noisy scene.
However, what gave him an even bigger headache was the two girls in front of him who seemed to have "bad intentions" at first sight.
Although their words were not frivolous, the long-haired girl's words even contained a few ancient sayings, which sounded a bit elegant.
It would be nice if the place where I said this wasn't in a bar.
"Sorry, I don't need it."
He refused bluntly, and without looking at them, he took a step to the right to avoid them and enter.
The girl with short hair was obviously not a stalker, and she was about to give up when he saw that he was unwilling, but the girl with long hair was unwilling to let such a rich and good-looking man slip away from him.
So she turned around and grabbed Pei Mingxu's sleeve. Just when she was about to be coquettish and leave him behind, the next second she felt a strong force throwing her back.
If the short-haired girl hadn't caught her, she would have fallen directly to the ground.
Pei Mingxu looked at his sleeves repeatedly with an alert look on his face. Seeing that there was no manipulation on the top, he looked up at the long-haired girl.
The long-haired girl was obviously stunned. She leaned in the short-haired girl's arms and took a while to come to her senses.
After she came to her senses, she stepped forward angrily and said: "Why did you push me! It's great to have money. Can you just push people if you have money? What if I get injured? What if I hit the wall and bleed, and my face is disfigured?" , you pay..."
"Even if you can afford to pay, your behavior is just wrong!"
Pei Mingxu listened to the long-haired girl's hysterical curses and didn't care. He turned on the optical brain and entered a number and handed it to her.
"Is it enough?"
The long-haired girl was stunned for a moment. She lowered her eyes and looked at the string of zeros on the opponent's priceless optical brain, her pupils shaking.
"You, you are evading responsibility!"
Pei Mingxu calmly added a zero at the end and asked again: "What about this?"
"..."
The long-haired girl was furious. The number Pei Mingxu gave was enough to buy one-tenth of a Phantom.
It really gave her a new understanding of how rich Pei Mingxu was.
When she didn't answer, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were dark, as if she was planning something.
Suddenly, Pei Mingxu thought of a shady little fox, and his heart accelerated for no reason.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable and successfully made him blush.
"I've given you enough, and you weren't hurt. If you want to talk about cause and effect, you were the one who provoked me first, so I didn't have to pay you a penny."
"you!"
The long-haired girl puffed up her cheeks angrily and her peach-blossom eyes widened. She obviously didn't expect Pei Mingxu to be so cunning.
"Deal?" Pei Mingxu stretched out his head and asked.
Seeing this, the long-haired girl pushed his hand away and shouted: "Who wants your dirty money!"
After saying that, the girl turned around and left. When she pulled the short-haired girl past Pei Mingxu, she quietly glared at him.
Although Pei Mingxu noticed her look, he didn't care much.
He had seen this kind of hostile look many times, and he had experienced looks that were more sinister and cold than hers.
Normally, this bit of hostility would be ignored by him.
After entering the bar, he had a smooth journey. After he refused for the first time, the people who approached him left wisely and did not get entangled.
Therefore, he was able to leave through the back door and enter the private room on the top floor through the secret door.
However, what Pei Mingxu didn't know was that after his figure disappeared, the long-haired girl hid in the short-haired girl's arms and cried: "My money! My three million! Oh, what's the use of this face!" "
"Okay, okay, it's all over. If you cry now, you won't get the money back."
The long-haired girl heard this but said stubbornly: "No, I will never give up!" "
Her tears haven't dried yet, but her eyes are full of determination to win.
She said, "Did you notice just now? When that man saw my eyes, something seemed wrong in his eyes."
The short-haired girl asked doubtfully: "Really? I don't feel any difference between him and before."
The long-haired girl chuckled: "You don't understand this. The eyes of such a cold-looking man are the most exciting and the most real."
"As long as you are not careful, you may miss his truest thoughts."
She turned her head and looked at the pair of peach blossom eyes reflected in the cup, and said with a smile: "Maybe he likes this? As long as I perform well, I will definitely be rich in the future."
The short-haired girl put one hand on her head and said, "You haven't given up on your dream of being a rich and wealthy wife? Reckless girls like you are not popular nowadays."
The short-haired girl snorted and raised her chin: "If I can't be a heroine, why can't I be a white lotus? Isn't it just pretending to be weak? I can do the same!"

The furnishings in the private room on the top floor are still the same as they were two years ago. Thin and transparent white porcelain cups are placed in transparent cabinets. In the semi-open compartment, their most commonly used coffee machine is covered because it has not been used for a long time. An invisible layer of black ash.
Pei Mingxu took off his black gloves and lightly traced his fingertips across the sofa. Not surprisingly, a black finger stuck to it.
Suddenly, he had no intention of sitting down and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
The cool water flowed between her fingers, and after carefully washing away the black mark, he turned around and used his other hand to open the cabinet that was as high as his shoulder.
Once opened, two absorbent towels hung neatly on the side.
One black and one white, Pei Mingxu took off the white one. The towel had a dry and coarse texture because it had not been used for many years.
However, it doesn't matter if it's just for wiping hands.
Coming out of the kitchen, he stood in the private room, which was less than 100 square meters, and looked around. Except for some old things that evoked his faint memories, there was nothing worth noting.
Suddenly, he had the idea of returning to another hospital.
But just before he left, a can of red dried fruits that had gone bad caught his attention on the locker next to the shoe cabinet.
He curiously reached out and took out a small package, looking down at the label: Dried strawberries, seeded version.
Pei Mingxu looked at the dried fruits carefully through the glass bottle and said, "It's quite clean."
At this time, that memory suddenly appeared in his mind.
In his sophomore year, due to the intense domestic war, Pei Mingxu was extremely busy and mentally disturbed.
Therefore, coffee and a kind of tea cigarette that can stimulate mental power came into use one after another.
Gu Cheng knew that he couldn't persuade him to do anything, but he didn't do nothing.
Gu Cheng took out a can of dried strawberries from his bag and pushed it towards Pei Mingxu.
"What is this? Did Aunt Gu make any strange snacks again?"
Gu Cheng said: "I did it."
When Pei Mingxu heard this, he picked it up and looked at it seriously, and also noticed that the dried strawberries were strange.
He asked curiously, but Gu Cheng just said nonchalantly: "I've been very free recently, so I gave it a try."
"Although dried strawberries can't be refreshing, sweets have enough energy and can always help a little."
His thoughts quietly returned to the present, and when Pei Mingxu looked at the jar of dried strawberries again, his heart beat wildly again.
But this time he didn't feel any discomfort.
"Is there any trace so early on?"
Pei Mingxu's lips curled up, and he was in an unexpectedly good mood.
In the end, the jar of dried strawberries that was lost in this room finally returned to its owner.
