I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

Walking out of the West District Police Station, Lu Yao saw a brand new truck parked outside the gate, made by Mercedes-Benz. Next to the truck stood a tall truck driver who looked like a model. His hair was permed to the quality of 200,000 yuan, and his profile was so clear that his eyelashes could be seen.

He was leaning against the truck door, smoking a top-quality cigarette, looking like a lonely...lonely-nest old man.

Lu Yao saw the old man and said, "Uncle, small cars can't satisfy your taste as the richest man?"

Gu Chenhan was too lazy to argue with her and patted the truck compartment: "You don't want your motorcycle anymore?"

"Oh." Lu Yao clasped his hands together and leaned forward with obvious gratitude, "Thank you so much, uncle. Did you tow my motorcycle back from the water plant?"

"Yes." Gu Chenhan opened the passenger door and motioned Lu Yao to get in the car. "You can pretend to be missing for another year, and I will help you get it next year."

Hearing this, Lu Yao climbed into the passenger seat swiftly. "Hey, why are you making trouble with a child? Besides, you were wrong last year. You forced me to go home for the birthday party, so I broke up with you. And I didn't go missing. Gu Mingxiao knew my whereabouts all along."

Gu Chenhan closed the car door for Lu Yao, got into the driver's seat, and started the truck under Lu Yao's surprised gaze.

"Oh my god, uncle, you really know how to drive a truck. How about you teach me tomorrow?"

Lu Yao looked around in the car. She was in much better spirits than yesterday. Firstly, she had a nap during the day, and secondly, the second near-death experience made her not so tired anymore.

Once he was no longer tired, Lu Yao talked a lot more, and kept talking to himself: "I didn't know Mercedes-Benz produced trucks. But you, you make trucks when you have a little money, and you buy imported brands. You really don't know how to live."

"Whether it is built or not is not up to me."

As they were talking, the passenger seat cabinet that Lu Yao was fiddling with was suddenly opened, and Gu Chenhan's wallet fell out from it, with a bunch of IOUs falling out of the wallet.

[IOU: In July 2007, Lu Yao borrowed 7 yuan from Gu Chenhan to buy ice cream...]

[IOU: In January 2008, Lu Yao borrowed 1 yuan from Gu Chenhan to take a hot spring bath...]

[IOU: In February 2008, Lu Yao borrowed 2 yuan from Gu Chenhan to buy firecrackers, which blew up the toilet in Baihua Park. He also paid yuan in compensation to the toilet, which Gu Chenhan paid on his behalf...]

【IOU, March 2008...】

Lu Yao hurriedly stuffed the IOU back and smiled awkwardly: "Well... I didn't make much, I will pay it back eventually."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Why have you become more and more slovenly in the past year? It's been a long time since you bought clothes."

Gu Chenhan said as he opened the window of the rear compartment and took out a gift box: "There's more in the back."

Lu Yao opened the gift box, and inside was the latest and most fashionable high-end casual wear, a beige turtleneck sweatshirt, and beige hip-lifting and waist-hugging casual pants. They were exactly what Lu Yao liked, and were also the perfect size for him.

Of course, the size is not just right, but... Lu Yao immediately asked: "Is it couture again?"

"Yeah, there are other dresses, jeans, and things like that."

Hearing this, Lu Yao looked through the window and saw that besides her motorcycle, there were also many gift boxes in the carriage.

Seeing this, Lu Yao closed the box and said something incomprehensible: "Uncle... I have grown up."

"Grown up?" Gu Chenhan braked and stopped at the crosswalk at the red light. "What do you mean grown up? Can you still grow taller at this age?"

"......" Lu Yao, "Why can't I do that? Oh, my long legs. Oh...wait, what height?"

Lu Yao admitted that compared to Gu Chenhan, the old hand, she was indeed a newbie and was led astray by him in just two sentences, but she had to make it clear.

Seeing the green light, Gu Chenhan continued to drive forward. Lu Yao said seriously again: "Uncle, what I mean is that I have grown up and can be self-sufficient. When we were neighbors when we were young, you took pity on me and took care of me. I have indeed been taken care of by you for so many years, but I can't always be protected by you. You will get married and have children in the future, and I... also need to have a boyfriend, right?"

"Screech..." Another brake sound, and at another traffic light intersection, the red light came on.

Lu Yao glanced at the red light and said curiously, "Hey, I said that when I was walking back from the police station last night, I didn't feel so many red lights. Did you take this road?"

As he spoke, Lu Yao glanced at Gu Chenhan's expression again. The street light shone in from the window beside him, and his face seemed a little darker because of the shadow. He must have stepped on the brakes a little too hastily.

So Lu Yao added: "Uncle, you really don't know how to drive a truck. Look at how he braked suddenly. Can't you keep your clutch steady?"

"Yeah." Gu Chenhan responded, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to her. After a while, when the green light came on, he asked again, "So you haven't grown taller?"

Is this a height issue?

"Yes!" Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you.

Lu Yao hugged the gift box and leaned back.

Gu Chenhan glanced at Lu Yao and continued, "So it still fits and can be worn."

"Yes!"

Seeing that they were almost at their neighborhood, Lu Yao thought about making his attitude clear to Gu Chenhan and said, "Anyway, uncle, since I wrote you an IOU before, I must pay you back. Let's calculate how much I have to pay you..."

说着，路遥再次拿出了欠条，用手机打开计算器，一边算一边报：“100+500+200+2000+400+250...+700...”

Looking at the number on the calculator getting higher and higher, Gu Chenhan asked quietly, "What's the number?"

"Um... 131,400..." Lu Yao's palms began to sweat, and the IOU, which she had not yet calculated, was pinched to the height of a thumb.

Gu Chenhan parked the car at the entrance of Luyao Community: "How much is left?"

"How about... we can settle it later! I'll still treat you to a meal."

"can."

Lu Yao stuffed the IOU back into Gu Chenhan's wallet, put the wallet back into the cabinet, pressed the cabinet hard to make sure it would not pop out, and hurriedly opened the car door.

Then, Gu Chenhan pressed the lock of the car door.

"When?"

Lu Yao panicked and looked at Gu Chenhan in confusion: "Huh? What?"

"Have a meal."

"Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon when I wake up I will treat you to... stinky tofu! The best stinky tofu in Wuxiang City!" As soon as he finished speaking, the bike lock popped open, Lu Yao got off the bike quickly, rode his motorcycle out of the car in a hurry, hung the gift box, and slipped into the community.

When he entered the door, Lu Yao didn't notice that the name of his neighborhood had been changed...

Gu Chenhan watched Lu Yao disappear into the night, then looked up at the name on the community plaque and admired it a little: "This name is quite good..."

After saying that, Gu Chenhan got in the car and drove away.

At this time, the security guard at the community security booth poked his head out and looked at the community plaque: "This name is so strange."
