"…My wallet and cell phone should be in her big bag..."

As she spoke, the woman's voice faded out, and the shyness and restraint in her eyes were hard to hide. After all, she still lacked enough confidence. Then the annoyance surged up again. She subconsciously scratched her head, but then she realized that she had just tied her hair up, so her neat hairstyle became messy again, with a little lazy and casualness.

The black guy sitting at the cashier rolled his eyes dramatically, and his eyes turned flexibly around 360 degrees. The meaning of mockery was really obvious, "Are you sure? A woman who just got into a taxi? Is this a coincidence?"

To make a clear attitude is to not believe it.

The woman's slender and fair fingers curled up and became angry at herself secretly, but this was not the time to get angry, and she was the one who was in the wrong.

So the woman took a deep breath and calmed down quickly. She glanced at Lu Yiqi behind her from the bottom of her eyes, and then carefully adjusted her standing posture, as if she didn't want her embarrassed look to be seen by strangers. Then, she showed a bright smile to the clerk.

"Sorry, why not do this. I put my backpack here, go home to get my wallet, and come over to pay. What do you think?"

The woman is trying to find a solution.

But the black guy frowned and looked up and down carefully, "Who knows how much your backpack is worth?"

The woman's face suddenly pulled down, "Even if it's cheap, it's still okay to exchange a bottle of mineral water with a backpack." Even though she was so depressed, the woman was still not aggressive.

In fact, if Lu Yiqi read it correctly, the backpack should be Gucci (i). Judging from the woman's dress, it should not be a fake. If the woman wants to, she can throw out her brand-name bag directly to suppress the contempt and suspicion of the black clerk, but she did not.

The black guy poked his thick lips and looked at the woman up and down, revealing a hint of pickiness in his eyes, "Forget it, no matter what the price is, it's useless to me. Why don't you press your coat here?"

The woman could immediately see a different meaning from the black guy's sight, and her anger suddenly burst into anger.

The black guy seemed to be able to feel the woman's anger, "If you don't want to, let's call the police directly." He rolled his eyes again, not caring.

"You!" The woman tolerated her and even tolerated her, she still did the wrong thing, but at this time she was also in a state of emotion because of the provocation of the black guy.

"Please settle with mine."

A voice came from behind, and the woman and the black guy looked over according to the sound, and Lu Yiqi instantly became the focus of attention.

Lu Yiqi raised the junk food in his hands, smiled, then bypassed the woman's position, placed everything on the counter, and signaled the black guy to check out together.

It's just a bottle of mineral water for $1.49. There's really no need to make a big deal. An ordinary little thing is stalemate here.

Because Lu Yiqi stood up, the woman was still a little uncomfortable and tried to refuse, but thought of her situation. She became more annoyed and scratched her head again, as if she was reflecting on how she kept her wallet and mobile phone with her friend.

"There is no need to make hair difficult for a bottle of mineral water. How innocent they are."

Lu Yiqi's voice with a faint smile came over. The woman suddenly raised her head, and then she saw Lu Yiqi's face with a friendly smile, without contempt, no mockery, no malice, just a small joke.

The woman's cheeks turned slightly red, "Sorry. I... I really... sorry, and thank you." Originally, I tried to explain that this was definitely not my normal situation. Today was a special situation, but the explanation was not able to be expressed in the end, and it eventually turned into an apology and a thank you.

"It's just a matter of raising hands." Lu Yiqi replied with a smile without any politeness.

At this time, the black guy had sorted out Lu Yiqi's things and put them all into a plastic bag. Lu Yiqi took out his credit card to complete the payment, stuffed the payment receipt into the plastic bag, nodded at the woman with a smile, and then walked out with great strides.

As Lu Yiqi said, this is a mere effort, and there is no need to take it to heart.

But as soon as he left the convenience store, a woman's cry came from behind, "Sorry, sorry." The voice chased from afar, gasped slightly, and came to Lu Yiqi's side. His hair, which had mischievously broken free from the rubber band, fluttered lightly under the Chicago night sky.

"Sorry." The woman adjusted her breathing, "Please tell me your bank account number, I will transfer the money to you immediately when I go to work in the bank tomorrow."

"Ha, for one dollar?" Lu Yiqi chuckled.

The woman was very serious, "and forty-nine cents."

The smile on the corner of Lu Yiqi's mouth fell into his eyes, "This...madam, I'm serious. This is just a small matter. There is no need to be too formal and grand. I believe that this is just a small accident. If I encounter such an accident, I also look forward to someone helping me to solve my predicament."

The woman could feel sincerity from Lu Yiqi's words. Her expression was slightly relieved, and her nervousness and embarrassment seemed to be calmed down, but she was still dismissed because of her own recklessness. "I know that if everyone could pass on their kindness to another person like you, then society would be different, and the crime rate in Chicago would not be high."

"Haha." Lu Yiqi was really amused by a bottle of mineral water and chuckled out loud.

A smile appeared in the woman's eyes, but the shameful restraint still made the smile unable to fully bloom. She was still thinking about the solution, "Why not do this, I'll tell you my phone number?"

Lu Yiqi's eyes widened slightly, expressing his surprise with his eyes: Are you taking the initiative to tell me the phone number?

The woman immediately realized her recklessness and the misunderstandings that might be caused by her actions. She grinded her teeth in despair - she really made too many mistakes tonight, and if she could, she hoped that she would disappear in the wind now.

But there was no turning back when the work started, and the woman forced herself to straighten her back. "Just just in case, if you really need the $1.49 one day, I'm willing to repay it at any time... uh... can also add some interest..." As she said that, the woman was not sure.

As Lu Yiqi's gaze with a faint smile, the woman's voice became smaller and smaller, and the automatic fading effect appeared again, and her eyes flashed a little, "You must know that this is Chicago, one of the cities with the highest crime rate in North America, and you should not trust others casually."
