The next day.
At noon, in a relatively high-end restaurant.
When asking someone for a favor, one should at least show some sincerity, right?
Lin Mo understood this point.
Although he and Reba's relationship didn't require such formality.
But today's occasion was a bit special.
He wasn't just borrowing twenty or thirty thousand from Reba...
In fact, Lin Mo himself wasn't very confident that she could lend him that much money at once.
Originally, he had arranged to meet Reba here at 12:30 PM.
Result...
Reba had already arrived, but he hadn't.
So, he pushed open the private room door.
He saw Reba playing on her phone.
Lin Mo felt a little awkward.
Reba, however, didn't show any displeasure. Instead, she looked up, her gentle eyes fixed on him, a smile playing on her lips, and said with a hint of laughter, "Mo Ge, you're not punctual, you're late!"
"Uh... there was a bit of traffic on the way..."
Lin Mo said sheepishly.
There really was traffic on the road.
Damn it.
He had left 40 minutes early.
But then he got stuck in traffic halfway.
He only just arrived now...
"I've already ordered the dishes. There's your favorite small potatoes, too~"
Reba was well aware of Lin Mo's preferences.
Potatoes, of course.
A favorite in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
As for meat.
Previously, when Lin Mo and Reba went out to eat, he would basically never order pork dishes, like braised pork.
After all, Reba is from an ethnic minority, and it wasn't good to eat pork in front of her.
Of course, she had told Lin Mo more than once that it was fine, he could eat whatever he wanted, and it didn't bother her to watch.
After a while.
The food was served.
The two ate and chatted.
Reba also asked Lin Mo about his ideas for his graduation project.
"Mo Ge, I saw in the group that our classmates in the same major as you seem to have started preparing to shoot their graduation projects. Do you have any plans?"
Lin Mo heard this, gently put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Me? I'm not in a hurry, there's still one more semester until graduation~"
He wasn't flustered at all.
Are you kidding me?
A graduation project was nothing to him, just a piece of cake.
Similarly, Reba had a blind admiration for Lin Mo.
She knew Lin Mo's academic achievements.
Then, Reba brought up another matter: "Oh, Mo Ge, I mentioned you to Sister Mi, and she's very interested in you! She even asked me to invite you to join her studio!"
The current Yang Mi was not the Boss Yang of later years.
She had only established her studio two years ago.
She was still acting herself.
However, Lin Mo shook his head: "I'll pass. You know, I like freedom, and I don't like being constrained by others!"
Reba, though a little disappointed, nodded understandingly: "Okay..."
Actually, Reba wanted to persuade Lin Mo to join Sister Mi's studio as well, so they could see each other more often in the future.
Moreover.
She also knew that Sister Mi intended to establish a company.
With Lin Mo's talent, he might even become a great director of the company in the future.
The two of them ate for a full hour.
They talked about all sorts of topics during that time.
For example, Reba shared with Lin Mo the gossip she had heard after entering the entertainment industry.
And Lin Mo was the best listener.
Seeing that they had eaten almost enough.
Lin Mo even proactively asked, "Do you want to order a few more dishes?"
He knew.
This girl was a complete foodie.
Otherwise.
How did the nickname 'Fat Di' come about?
They say, there are only mistaken names, but no mistaken nicknames.
This girl's stomach had always been a mystery to Lin Mo.
Mainly.
She didn't gain weight either, isn't that amazing?
"Burp~"
"No, no, my agent and Sister Mi have been reminding me recently to control my mouth and maintain my figure."
Reba let out a burp without any regard for her image, her words carrying a hint of coquetry, appearing particularly endearing and clumsy.
Seeing her adorable clumsiness, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile. He then pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and Reba, as if telepathically, leaned in slightly.
Their movements were natural and synchronized.
At this moment, the air was filled with a faint sweetness and warmth.
As if everything around them had softened.
"Uh..."
"Reba, I actually have something I wanted to trouble you with today..."
Suddenly, Lin Mo became hesitant.
Reba's smile grew even brighter upon hearing this, her large eyes seemingly able to see into his heart, as she gazed at Lin Mo gently: "What is it? If there's anything you need help with, just say it."
"That... I, I want to borrow some money from you."
Reba didn't hesitate in the slightest: "How much? Just say it!"
Her tone made borrowing money seem like a trivial matter to her.
Lin Mo was caught off guard by her sudden straightforwardness and scratched his head: "Well... as much as you can lend."
Reba immediately began calculating seriously. After a moment, she said cheerfully, "I have over two million yuan on me right now. That should be enough, right?"
After saying that, she worried it wasn't enough and added, "If it's not enough, I'll call Sister Mi and borrow some from her!"
Hearing this.
Lin Mo quickly waved his hand: "Enough, enough, two million is already enough!"
How could he let Reba trouble others with such a matter?
To be honest, this was a bit beyond Lin Mo's imagination.
Originally.
He thought Reba only had about a million yuan or so on her.
He didn't expect this girl's secret stash to have so much money.
He estimated.
She probably told him all of her savings.
This made Lin Mo feel a bit guilty.
However, when he thought about how investing in "love is not blind" was no different from picking up money.
He would compensate her more when he made money later.
As for the remaining money.
He would get some from his family.
Lin Mo's family was decent; getting a million or so should not be a big problem.
The main thing was how he would find an excuse.
"No problem, I'll transfer the money to you in a bit!"
Reba readily agreed.
However, she never once asked Lin Mo why he needed to borrow money or what he would use it for.
But.
This feeling was truly great.
It was something Lin Mo had never experienced before.
