445 Like a Country Bumpkin

Early Saturday morning, Tan Rou was still preparing the drinks for the day when she received a call from the security guard at the door. He said that a very fierce girl was looking for her.2

Tan Rou was stunned for a moment before she realized who that person was.

She looked at her phone and did not receive any messages from Liang Lu. Moreover, this was not the time they had agreed on. Why was Liang Lu here so early?

Tan Rou wiped her hands and changed out of her apron. She took her phone and went out to look for Liang Lu.

Before she reached the door, she saw Liang Lu carrying a huge thing and confronting the security guard at the door.

"Uncle, there isn't anything dangerous in here. It's just a huge doll."

The security guard said, "Young lady, we're just following the rules. Your doll is too big. We need to check it to prevent you from bringing anything bad in."

Liang Lu said angrily, "I spent a lot of effort wrapping this gift. How can I give it to others if you open it for me? And you insisted that on calling Tan Rou just now. This ruined the surprise I specially prepared for her early in the morning."

To give Tan Rou a surprise, Liang Lu came especially early today. She was prepared to sneak to Tan Rou's house to give her a scare. Unexpectedly, before she could enter the door, she was stopped by the security guard. Not only did he ask her to call Tan Rou, but he also asked her to take out the giant doll.

"Liang Lu!" Tan Rou jogged over. "Why are you here so early?"

Seeing Tan Rou come over, Liang Lu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to hide the giant doll, but it was too big and could not be hidden at all.

"Is this a gift for me?" Tan Rou asked with a smile.

Liang Lu took out the gift in embarrassment and said angrily, "I was going to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to be stopped here. And this security guard insisted that I open the gift for him to see. I don't want to open it."

Tan Rou found it funny. Liang Lu was a big sister who always kept her word, and she was actually stopped by the security guard at the door. It was quite cute.

"Let me talk to him." Tan Rou gently patted her shoulder and said to the security guard, "Thank you for calling me to tell me that my friend is here. Thank you for protecting our community. But Uncle, can you make an exception today? My friend is a guest at my house. This is a gift from her. It's not that easy for us to open it here."

When the security guard saw the owner, his attitude became much better. "Oh, oh, it's your birthday today? Is your friend here to celebrate your birthday?"

Tan Rou didn't know how he came up with this thought, but since the security guard said so, she would just go along with it.

"Yes." Tan Rou said, "Uncle, we're all students. We won't do anything bad."

The security guard paused for a minute or two and said, "Since it's your birthday present, we can't open it. You guys go in quickly." 

Tan Rou thanked him along with Liang Lu. "Thank you, Uncle."

"Happy birthday, little girl!" The security guard suddenly smiled and said.

Even though Tan Rou's birthday had passed, she was still quite happy to hear someone else's blessings again. "Thank you!"

Liang Lu followed behind Tan Rou. Along the way, she observed the environment of this neighborhood. It was stunning. Green trees, pink flowers, and park tables and chairs made of white marble. It was a very comfortable living environment.

"I feel like a country bumpkin who just entered the city." Liang Lu sighed. "Our neighborhood doesn't have such strict security at all. Moreover, the security guards are all old men in their fifties or sixties. There are no handsome uncles at all."

Tan Rou said, "Maybe it's because the property prices here are more expensive. The developers made some money and found some security guards who looks good."

"There's more." Liang Lu looked up at the villas and exclaimed, "The lighting in the houses here is perfect. The greenery in front and behind the houses is also large. I feel like my lungs have been purified."

"That's an exaggeration." Tan Rou said with a smile.

"No, no, no, it's not an exaggeration at all. "Liang Lu said from the bottom of her heart,"I really look like a country bumpkin who just entered the city. Everything I see is strange. Oh my, is this where rich people live?"

Tan Rou shrugged. "I'm not sure. I just became rich a few days ago."

Liang Lu chuckled after hearing that. "Tan Rou, being friends with you is the best thing I've ever done."
