Chapter 1454 Fisherman Never... (I plan to buy floating candles for fun)

Things like squatting are often very similar to fishing.

Duanmu Huai also hates this the most.

Because if something is similar to fishing, then its results will be similar to fishing.

Just like now, he was sitting alone on a chair in the square in front of the station, with his head down, looking at the phone in front of him, just like a fisherman staring at his fishing rod with lifeless eyes.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and the bustling square in front of the station had begun to become deserted, with few people to be seen. Only Duanmu Huai was sitting quietly on a bench, scrolling through his phone out of boredom.

Following the advice of Shionji Yuko, Duanmu Huai went for another walk after dinner. In fact, in the evening, he was able to search for more people, and Duanmu Huai successfully connected with several of them. However, after agreeing to meet, there was no news. No one showed up at the agreed time, and he sent a message through the APP, but found that he had been blocked...

Alas, life is as lonely as snow.

Forget it, go home.

Duanmu Huai patted his clothes silently, and then was about to stand up and leave. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from not far away.

"Ah, hello, uncle."

"Ok?"

Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a girl standing not far away, looking at him curiously. Her hair was dyed brown and naturally curly. She seemed to be dressed very fashionably. Duanmu Huai didn't understand girls' fashion, but just by looking at the strange skirt she was wearing, he knew that if it wasn't fashionable, most people wouldn't wear it like that.

But the question is, who is she?

Duanmu Huai took a special look at the APP. There was no appointment with anyone?

"Who are you……………?"

"Ah, my name is Kana."

The girl named Kana gave her own name, but it was obviously a pseudonym. This was normal. Except for those who were doing this job for the first time, no one would be stupid enough to tell others their real name.

"Uncle, are you also doing the work of a father? I saw you with two girls in the store today..."

“Oh…I see.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood why the other party spoke to him. When he took Mianme Sanatori and Inaba Yueye shopping, they did meet a few couples who were fathers in the store, but he didn't know whether this girl was among them.

"What do you want from me?"

"No, I'm just curious... Uncle, have you never found a partner? I just took a job and saw you sitting here when I left. When I came back, you were still sitting here, so I was a little surprised..."

"…………………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai remained silent.

Don't let go of the hard times, little sister.

It is normal for a fishing guy to fail, but it would be impolite to say it to his face.

The one called Kana, on the other hand, seemed to be very outgoing and came over with a smile.

"By the way, were those two really the fathers? Tell me about it."

"No, they are...relatives' children."

Duanmu Huai found an excuse to get away with it, and Kana nodded.

"I see. That's right. I was saying that the child is blind and it would be too hard for him to do this. I was thinking that you might have some special hobby, uncle."

"What if I do?"

Duanmu Huai did not refute Kana's words. In fact, from the perspective of outsiders, the first reaction of such a fierce man like him and two weak girls, Menme Sanatori and Inaba Yueye, would mostly not be a good thing.

"Hmm? It doesn't look like that, because the two girls looked quite calm. If they were afraid of you, they wouldn't be so noisy. That's why I dared to come up and talk to the uncle. After all, he doesn't look like a vicious villain."

"…………………"

It seems that Nemu-satori's acting skills can easily fool ordinary people.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Duanmu Huai didn't believe that the other party would stay up in the middle of the night just to chat with him. Sure enough, when she heard Duanmu Huai's question, the girl gave an awkward bitter smile.

"Ahahaha, actually I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I encountered some problems with the previous business deal..."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai looked at Kana carefully and found that her clothes were messy and she was not even wearing shoes. It was obvious that she had run out in a hurry.

"What happened?"

  Could it be that she encountered some mutant monster? But she doesn't look like that.

"Actually, I had agreed with that father to spend the night in a hotel, but I didn't expect that he was a drug addict. When he entered the room and took off his clothes, I saw needle marks on his arm, which scared me. Later, I asked him to take a shower, and then I took the opportunity to look through his bag, and found syringes and medicine in it, so I ran out when he wasn't paying attention." At this point, Kana reached out and patted her chest with lingering fear.

"Phew...luckily I ran fast...but I lost a lot on this order. Not only are the bags and clothes I bought thrown there, but even my shoes are lost...those are limited editions, and I spent a lot of effort to buy them. But fortunately, I haven't reached the adult stage with that father yet, so it's not a loss."

Having said that, Kana clasped her hands together, pretended to be cute and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"So, uncle, can you take me home?"

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai was silent for a while when he saw the girl pretending to be cute. He had noticed that although the girl had been pretending to be cheerful and lively when talking to him, her eyes were very nervous and her body was trembling slightly. But this was normal. If she could remain calm and collected in front of him, she was not a normal person. The girl was able to suppress her fear and chat with him. She had a big heart.

  As for why she went to Duanmu Huai instead of the police, you must be kidding. At this time, she would be courting death if she went to the police. The police would definitely call her family. And who in this line of work would want to let others know?

"Okay, come with me. I'm planning to go home too."

Duanmu Huai stood up and spoke, and upon hearing his answer, Kana clenched her fists and swung them vigorously.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Duanmu Huai took the girl to the parking lot, and when Kana saw Duanmu Huai's car, she was naturally amazed again. However, Duanmu Huai didn't care about these troubles, and waved his hand to signal the girl to get in the car, and then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

Along the way, Duanmu Huai also chatted with Kana and learned that she was a college student who came here alone to study. Because the tuition was very expensive, plus the daily expenses such as renting a house, the ordinary part-time job money was not enough, so she chose to work as a father.

She worked in a restaurant before, and was exhausted, earning only 850 per hour, and was often annoyed by customers. But being a father can earn 2 per hour, and be coaxed and pampered by the other party, so Kana chose this job.

Of course, doing this kind of thing can be dangerous, but Kana has been doing this for a long time and knows how to protect herself. If it happened to someone who has just started working in this field, they would have been caught in the trap.

“Ah, here it is!”

Under Kana's guidance, Duanmu Huai brought her to the bottom of an old apartment building, and the latter was relieved to see her familiar home.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"You're welcome. Actually, I need your help with something else."

"Hey? What's the matter?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Kana turned to look at him curiously.

"It's simple. You said you've been doing this for more than a year, so you should know all the girls who work as dads around here."

"Well... I know some of them. Uncle, do you want me to introduce them to you? It's not impossible, but I think they will probably refuse. Although most people are here for the money, uncle, your looks are somewhat... and your body shape..."

As she spoke, Kana stretched out her hand, compared herself with Duanmu Huai, and then with herself, and her whole body trembled.

“It’s a little scary.”

"Although this is one of them, I hope to get some information."

Duanmu Huai did not forget his purpose, and when Kana heard Duanmu Huai's request, she was somewhat confused.

"intelligence?"

"Yes, there are always some strange rumors in your industry. I want to know some information about this."

"Strange rumor... um..."

Kana thought for a moment and clapped his hands.

"Ah, how about this, uncle? Let's add each other as friends. How about you treat me to a meal tomorrow? If I find any interesting news, I'll tell you too."

"Ok."

Although the process was a little different from what he had imagined, as long as the result went smoothly, it was fine. Anyway, he had successfully found an informant, and it seemed that she had been in this business for a while and had a wide network of contacts. Through this line, he might be able to get the result that Duanmu Huai wanted.

It's like fishing. It doesn't matter if I caught it or bought it from the market, don't they all taste the same? ?

If I don’t tell you, how do you know whether I bought it or caught it?

Anyway, the result is the same.

"See you tomorrow, uncle."

After making the agreement, the two added each other as friends, and then Kana waved and got out of the car. Looking at her back, Duanmu Huai was silent for a while, but still called Kana.

"Oh, there's one last thing."

"Ok?"

"Don't call me uncle, I'm not that old, I'm not even 30 yet."

"Why…………!?"

I can tolerate a teenage girl calling Duanmu Huai "uncle", but I cannot tolerate you being a 20-year-old college student and you calling me "uncle".
