Following the original owner's memory, Lin Xu finally found the whereabouts of the watch from the Internet records. He was concerned about this matter and paid attention to it all the time.
After the original owner received the watch, it became second-hand. In order to make money quickly, he directly listed it on the second-hand trading platform with a 20% discount.
It was also a considerable amount of money. Fortunately, I met a wealthy customer who bought it quickly and the payment was made.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Xu finally received a reply from the buyer on the platform on Sunday morning.
"Do you want to buy it back?" the other party said.
They used to be in the same city, so Lin Xu vaguely remembered that the other party was a young man who already had a job.
“Yes, this watch has a different meaning to me now.”
"Then how much do you want to buy it back for?" The other party was very interested and heard something unusual in Lin Xu's answer. It seemed like there was a story behind it.
"Can I have the original price? Or the original price of the watch is also fine. But I don't have that much money right now, so please keep it for now and I'll come back to buy it in two months."
The person opposite also remembered that Lin Xu seemed to be a high school boy, and he was not lying when he said he had no money.
"But my job is going to be transferred overseas. The flight is at 10 am. I am almost at the airport now. If you can come over, I can just give it to you first and write you an IOU."
The brother who bought the watch without hesitation was indeed a generous person, otherwise he would not have believed Lin Xu directly.
Lin Xu was anxious and quickly checked the clock. It was already half past eight. His home was only a few kilometers away from the airport, so there was still time!
"Okay, I'll be there right away, thank you." Lin Xu quickly put down his phone and started changing his clothes. He put on some casual clothes, quickly wrote a promissory note, and rushed out of the house.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, who knew his mock exam results, had just returned home from the vegetable market. They were ready to cook a good meal for their grandson to reward him, their faces full of pride.
"Hey? Where's Xiao Xu going?" Grandma Lin bumped into Lin Xu and asked him puzzledly.
But time was running out, so Lin Xu waved his hand while running: "Grandma, I have to go out for something."
"Why are you running so fast, kid? Watch the road!"
Until the moment he got on the bus, Lin Xu was panting, his heart still pounding. Fortunately, he made it on time, otherwise it would have been a long and difficult process to get the watch later.
"Master, I'm going to the airport." Lin Xu said, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a tissue.
"Okay."
He knew he had to board the plane half an hour in advance, so he was inevitably anxious. Especially when he had waited for the third red light, even though the car was air-conditioned, Lin Xu still found his palms sweating.
Lin Xu could no longer bear his own dislike for talking to others, and asked anxiously: "Master, why are you so slow? I'm in a hurry."
The driver said slowly, "Don't worry, there's always a bit of traffic on this road. Especially today is Sunday, there are a lot of people going out to play."
Lin Xu looked at the time again, but couldn't wait any longer.
"Then I'll get off." He got off halfway, paid the fare in a hurry, looked left and right after getting off, and finally found the place to park the shared bicycles.
