The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Shang Qingya arrived at the East City Station.

She didn't have a cell phone at the moment, nor did she memorize Lu Yuan's contact information.

This is the only place she can come to.

Everyone recognized her face, so they assumed she was sitting and resting at the station for a while.

In order to avoid affecting Lu Yuan's work, she did not ask anyone at the station to help her make a phone call.

She was sitting here quietly, wearing her school uniform.

"The journey must be long and tiring."

After all, she had seen Lu Yuan at work, and he was a perfect fit for the stereotype of a "chosen working man".

It's worth mentioning that there's a small kitchen at the Chengdong station, which is used for riders to have meals together, and occasionally someone will use it to cook a meal.

She touched the few coins left in her pocket, counted them carefully, and then walked towards the market.

...

"I want two servings of popcorn, a cold cola, and an ice cream..."

Lu Yuan was ordering food in the movie theater in a very extravagant manner.

"I'll eat you to death!" Shen Jia was naturally the one who paid the bill.

Why are two people allowed to watch a movie here?

So we need to go back two hours to the time when the two of them were sitting by the roadside eating noodles.

At that moment, an idea suddenly popped into Shen Jia's mind: she had to find a way to get Lu Yuan to go on a date with her.

After Lu Yuan finished eating, he ignored her completely and immediately started taking orders.

Shen Jia did not continue to make requests.

Because the request was useless.

Instead, she went to the movie theater alone and checked the time on her phone.

It's exactly six o'clock in the evening, and she bought two tickets for the eight o'clock movie.

Then I immediately opened my phone and placed a bunch of orders.

She had already hinted at it indirectly.

The stations on the far side are responsible for the eastern part of the city, and their stations have sixty riders.

She refused to believe that after placing orders frantically for two hours, she wouldn't be able to get orders from places that were far away.

I just sat there in the arcade area outside the movie theater.

She was playing King of Fighters with a lollipop in her mouth, and the table behind her was almost full of takeout bags.

At 7:30, a familiar figure casually tossed the takeout bag onto the table.

He sat down right next to her.

"You really have some tricks up your sleeve."

"It seems you knew it was me all along."

"Ms. Shen from Dadi Cinema is known for her shopping spree among our delivery riders."

"I have more tricks up my sleeve, do you want to hear them?"

"I'm busy."

"Come watch a movie with me, or I'll give you a bad review." Shen Jia grinned mischievously, like a witch tempting Snow White to eat the poisoned apple: "If you come with me, I'll send you a banner of appreciation."

"On what grounds should the banner be presented?"

"To solve problems for our customers."

"make a deal."

A banner is a good thing.

Lu Yuan has a small goal: he wants to become the station manager within three months.

Because the old station manager in the east of the city is quitting, and the new station manager will be chosen from among the riders in the east of the city.

Some people even joined Chengdong Station specifically to compete with him for the stationmaster position.

It has already begun to subtly threaten Lu Yuan's position as the sole king.

Driven by a sense of mission to contribute to his career as a rider.

Lu Yuanmei happily hugged her popcorn and iced cola, starting her pleasant rest time.

...

The experience of watching a movie can be completely different for different people.

People who appreciate art come to the cinema; young couples come to experience the romantic atmosphere; families come to the cinema to enjoy reunion; and those who cheat intend to enjoy the thrill of infidelity in the dark.

But it's a different story when a tired deliveryman comes to the movie theater.

"I paid to see a movie, and you fell asleep right at the start!" Shen Jia nudged Lu Yuan's shoulder, gritting her teeth.

"This movie is so boring." Lu Yuan really doesn't like watching art films, and he doesn't know what these authors are thinking.

He writes melancholic tales of love between men and women, and constantly tries to create profound lines and moods.

Did I pay money to see this?

Where is my battle?!

"Lu Yuan, how old are you?"

"twenty."

How big?

"twenty."

Shen Jia stared wide-eyed at Lu Yuan in disbelief in the pitch-black movie theater.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Yuan does indeed look like he's in his twenties, but his behavior and mannerisms are definitely not what one would expect.

"Shouldn't you be a college student at your age?"

"I am a college student."

"How come you look so old at such a young age?"

Shen Jia found it even harder to understand.

But at that moment, a clever idea popped into her head.

Although she hasn't started university yet, she knows that university should be like a summer vacation in life, a time for having fun.

Since Lu Yuan chose to deliver food at this time.

This proves one thing: the family was poor!

"You have such a hard life, you've really had a tough time."

Shen Jia had seen online that boys aren't afraid of the rain, but they are afraid of someone holding an umbrella for them when it rains.

Of all the strategies in the world, winning hearts and minds is the best!

I'll hold the umbrella for you!

"It's not hard work, I enjoy it," Lu Yuan said softly.

"This is just your strong exterior. I can see the vulnerability in your heart. You don't need to pretend in front of me."

Shen Jia acted like a caring older sister, even intentionally leaning her body towards Lu Yuan.

But all he got in return was a subconscious shiver from Lu Yuan and a look of confusion on his face: "So slick at such a young age?"

"Your sharp tongue must be a way of hiding your inner vulnerability, but fate is something we can't choose."

Shen Jiaqian decided to pursue the oil and food route to the end.

"This is my choice." Lu Yuan fully opened his eyes and woke up, tilting his head to ask, "Your family is well-off, so you're happy?"

"I am very happy."

"Happy people are peaceful," Lu Yuan said bluntly. "You're always trying to compete with Shang Qingya. Let me guess, do you have an older or younger sister?"

"I have a younger sister."

"After my younger sister was born, I didn't have to do anything to get all the family's attention?"

You're wrong.

Shen Jia refuted without hesitation.

But as soon as he said that, Lu Yuan knew he had guessed right.

When a person's carefully constructed facade is exposed, their first reaction is indignation and shame.

"This is just your strong exterior; I can see the vulnerability inside you. You don't need to pretend in front of me."

Lu Yuan said the exact same thing as Shen Jia.

But Shen Jia couldn't bring himself to call him greasy in the same nonchalant tone as Lu Yuan.

Because she was lost in thought.

Opening your heart is the most ambiguous act in the world, because it involves the suspension bridge effect.

On this dangerous suspension bridge, there are only narrators and listeners, and if the listener does not accept the narrator's feelings or even shows indifference, then the narrator is in danger.

Then the dangerous suspension bridge will collapse, and the narrator will feel hurt.

Conversely, if two people share this secret, it creates a private space that belongs only to them.

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't know anything," Shen Jia said instinctively.

But Lu Yuan was acting like a caring older brother, even leaning his body towards Shen Jia intentionally.

He responded with a smile, "Your sharp tongue must be a way of hiding your inner vulnerability, but fate is something we can't choose."

"I..."

Shen Jia has never shared this secret with anyone; it is a wound she keeps buried deep in her heart and can never speak of.

But everyone has the desire to share, especially about trauma.

People yearn to share aspects of themselves that they don't accept with others in order to gain acceptance.

"Putting aside your lack of manners, you actually have a pretty good personality."

"But you don't like me at all."

"When you accept this and stop doing stupid things to get attention, more people will like you."

"Really?" Shen Jia looked up and asked.

Lu Yuan nodded.

The art films on screen are nearing their end.

The ending theme song is playing slowly, following the female lead's reaction after the male lead's death.

The entire theater was filled with a somber atmosphere.

"What you said seems to make some sense," Shen Jia suddenly said.

She suddenly felt that the competition and comparisons she had made in the past were somewhat meaningless in that instant.

"Can we add each other on WeChat?"

The little girl couldn't really keep many things in her heart; this secret was already a huge deal to her.

And as one of only two people in the world to keep the secret.

She hopes that even if she makes changes in the future, she can share them with him.

"No need for extra money, just send the banner to the Chengdong station. It should say, 'Chengdong Dan Wang solves problems; handsome rider, kind and good-hearted.'"

"I..."

"Oh, and remember to leave a good review for this order too."

Even if it's a long journey, you shouldn't accept someone else's banner for nothing.

He really helps when he needs it.
