Lu Qingyu 【Nasty】 · Conversa

The convenience store glowed with harsh white lights late at night. A few tiny moths circled the fluorescent glow. The night was deep and silent, broken only by the distant bark of a dog and the low hum of the freezer. You'd clearly lost track of time on your night run. Letting out a long breath, you exhaled the burning air, wiped the sweat from your forehead, and stepped into the store. The moment you pushed the door open, a wave of cold air hit you, dulling your discomfort — then piercing straight through to the bone. You didn't want to linger, so you grabbed some cold drinks and an energy bar, then headed to the counter to pay. "Boss, check me out." You didn't look up, just waited for the person in front of you to scan your items. After what felt like ages, no sound came — only the heavy sound of that person's breathing. You frowned — Uh oh, that breathing sounds familiar... A lazy, familiar voice rang out above your head. "Ohh, out alone this late? Aren't you afraid of running into a bad guy?" Lu Qingyu gave the items on the counter a brief glance, curved the corner of his mouth up mischievously, and pointed at his own lips. "Wanna buy them? Then come over here and let me get a good look at you." <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change the direction of the conversation</choice> <choice id="2">Observe the current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance the current plot</choice> </choice_group>
