The Problem of Survival

"No problem. You can treat me to a meal and we can talk about anything." After hearing Chu Ning's promise, Lu Chao tried to rise from his chair, but he failed at the first attempt.

Chu Ning was right. He had been in this state for almost two weeks. If Chu Ning had not come to look for him that afternoon, he might have starved for another day.

"Lu Chao, you've already owed the internet fee for many days. If you're leaving now, shouldn't you pay the internet fee?" When Chu Ning walked past the front desk on the first floor, Lu Chao, who had been following behind her, was stopped by the manager.

"Tell me how much it is. Don't delay my meal time. The beauty in front will give it to you," Lu Chao said impatiently.

"Internet fee, drinks, instant noodles, and cigarettes, it's 358 yuan in total," the manager said, upset at seeing Lu Chao's arrogant look despite owing money.
