Chapter 62 I'll Wait for You
During the evening dinner, everyone was naturally toasting each other, making it very lively.
Apart from the congratulations to Lu Wenshu, the most common voice during the banquet was congratulations to Su Ren.
There were classmates Su Ren knew, some he didn’t know, as well as a few teachers and mayors from other cities.
Su Ren doesn't drink, so he just went through the motions to repay Lu Wenshu's favor.
"City Lord Lu, take your time drinking. I'm leaving first."
"Okay, okay, go do your thing."
Lu Wenshu's face was already red from excitement, and now it became even redder after drinking.
Su Ren nodded and left the restaurant with the two girls.
When I walked out of the restaurant, seven or eight business managers were already waiting there.
Seeing Su Ren coming out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Mr. Su, this is a small gift from our Datong Commercial Bank. Congratulations on winning the top prize in this state!"
The head of Chase Bank took out a bank card and looked at Su Ren expectantly.
Seeing this, the others immediately took out their own things and wanted to give them to Su Ren.
But Su Ren just took a look and refused.
"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."
Su Ren still has the 1 billion yuan that Wu Zhengyang promised him, so he is not short of money for the time being.
If he took these people's things, he would inevitably be troubled by a lot of troubles.
Su Ren doesn't like trouble, so he won't take their money.
"this……"
Seeing that Su Ren refused to accept it, everyone hurriedly said:
"Mr. Su, it's said above, it's just a gift of congratulations, nothing else."
Su Ren still shook his head.
He didn't want to be criticized, and as for money,
As long as Su Ren wanted, he could just find a high-level place and kill monsters for a day to earn income that many people could hardly imagine.
"Okay, everyone please go back."
Su Ren took the two girls away.
They could only look at each other, and naturally did not dare to stop Su Ren.
"Everyone, how are we going to explain this to our superiors?"
"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect that Su Ren is so cautious and mature at such a young age."
"The boss said that we can't make friends with him but we can't offend him either. We can't just force money into his pocket."
"That's true. See you guys when you have time."
The heads of the business banks dispersed one by one.
…
Donghai City, Jinxiu Street.
This is the largest pedestrian street in Donghai City. Because of the big exam, Jinxiu Street is crowded with people, and most of the people coming and going are from other cities.
"Su Datui, you don't even want their money. Didn't they just say they were congratulating you and had no other intentions?
I took a sneak peek and saw that the bank cards they took out had tens of millions of dollars in them."
Mu Xiaowan blinked her big eyes and said with some regret.
It was the first time she saw so much money in front of her, and she might have accepted it.
But Su Ren was not moved at all.
Ling Qingxue on the side said with a smile: "Xiao Wan, you are such a money-grubber. It's not that easy to get that money."
"Those businessmen are very cunning. They are not as simple as you think."
"That's not right, Qingxue, didn't you say your father is also a businessman?"
Ling Qingxue nodded.
"Yeah, because my dad is very cunning in business, so I know what they are thinking."
“Everything they do has a purpose.”
"Um... Qingxue, you are so sincere. Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you up if he hears you say that?"
"How could that be? My dad never hits me or scolds me."
The three of them talked as they walked, and bought a bunch of snacks along the way. In the middle of the journey, Su Ren was recognized by someone and surrounded by people asking for a photo.
After passing through the crowd, the three of them soon arrived at the Jinxiu River.
Looking at the endlessly flowing river, Ling Qingxue glanced at Su Ren and said softly:
"Su Ren, do you still remember this river? I was playing in the water and accidentally fell into the river. It was you who saved me from this river."
"I was struggling in the water, and when I thought I was going to die, you appeared."
"You know what? That's the most unforgettable memory of mine. Every time I wake up from a nightmare, I think of the scene when you saved me."
"That memory is something I will probably never forget in my lifetime."
Suren shook his head.
"It's just a small thing, why bother remembering it so clearly?"
"Maybe it was just a matter of convenience for you, but for me, you were the light in my heart at that time."
Mu Xiaowan looked at the two of them and said with a gossipy look on her face:
"Tsk tsk, I didn't realize you guys have this bloody hero-saving-the-beauty plot?"
"What happened next? Did Ah Zhen fall in love with Ah Qiang on a starry night?"
Ling Qingxue's face suddenly turned red after being teased by Mu Xiaowan.
"Look, I was right!"
Mu Xiaowan turned to look at Su Ren:
"Su Da Ti, even I can see that my Qing Xue can hardly hide the fact that she likes you. You two should just be together."
Facing Mu Xiaowan 's assist, Ling Qingxue did not speak this time. She just glanced at Su Ren secretly and then lowered her head.
"well!"
Su Ren sighed and looked at the rushing river.
Then he stretched out one hand, activated the River God skill, and a fist-sized drop of water rose in the river.
Ten seconds later, the water droplets broke and fell back into the river, disappearing into the night.
Su Ren slowly said:
"When I'm not strong enough, nothing will come of us being together."
"Just like these water drops, I can only control them for a short period of time. Once that time is up, they will burst and dissipate like rootless water."
“In the end there was nothing left.”
"You can't get too close to me now. You'll know the reason tomorrow."
"So, I can't promise you for now."
After Su Ren finished speaking, he turned around and left alone.
He didn't go to see Ling Qingxue because he was afraid that he would not be able to help but agree.
By tomorrow, the news that Su Ren has been put on the bounty list will surely be known to the entire internet.
Ling Qingxue should understand his intention.
"Suren!"
Ling Qingxue raised her head, looked at Su Ren who was about to leave, and shouted:
"I'm waiting for you!"
Su Ren paused, stayed for three seconds and then disappeared at the end of the road.
Ling Qingxue looked towards Jinxiu River, stretched out her hand and grasped it, and a drop of water instantly solidified into an ice bead.
Then she held it firmly in her hand.
Ling Qingxue looked at the bead and murmured to herself:
"Who said it dissipated? Now I can at least keep part of it."
Ling Qingxue put the ice bead into the system backpack, then looked at Mu Xiaowan and said:
"Let's go, Xiaowan. You can stay at my house tonight."
Mu Xiaowan was a little surprised and said:
"Qingxue, you... aren't you sad?"
Ling Qingxue shook her head: "Shouldn't I be happy today? At least, he is willing to accept me."
"It's just that we still need some time, don't we?"
Mu Xiaowan stared at Ling Qingxue blankly, and nodded after a long time:
"Qingxue, I admire you a little."
