Chapter 1, Condoms and Dreams

Brother, do not be stubborn, just take it!

Yang Yi laughed heartily and said, "Which side of the courtyard wall is on fire?"

Liu Xiaobei was momentarily stunned, but not because of the words "let's go," rather it was due to the woman who had raised her head. She was stunning! At that moment, the only two words in Liu Xiaobei's mind were these.

Spring has finally arrived, and for Liu Xiaobei, it signifies business opportunities

Yang Yi hung up the phone helplessly Liu Xiaobei's actions are always inscrutable to others

"It's not that I don't want it, brother, but you don't even have enough money for a box." Liu Xiaobei said with a sense of grievance

Then, Liu Xiaobei asked again, "Can we really leave now?"

Oh dear, I can't recall which Mr. Wang it is, the impressive one. The last time I saw him, he knew that you and I are in the same city and even inquired about you! It seems that Mr. Zhao's reputation is quite significant!

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" The beggar brother said while reaching into his pocket. After a short while, he took out a one-hundred-yuan bill and said to Liu Xiaobei, "Here! Buy as many boxes as you can for me."

Indeed, for Liu Xiaobei, condoms are more important than he is, because Liu Xiaobei is a condom salesman

Liu Xiaobei's grand ambition is to open a condom specialty store on the rooftop of the tallest 360-degree skyscraper in the city center

Oh, at that moment, Liu Xiaobei felt an indescribable beauty in his heart. He could only think that the ordinary people in the world only know that heroes save beautiful women, which is a delightful sight, yet they do not realize that the beauty saving the hero has an entirely different flavor! Beauty is indeed beautiful!

Liu Xiaobei, overwhelmed with gratitude, held the beggar's hand that was offering money and excitedly said: "Brother, you are a good person, I won't say anything more. However, however, I cannot accept your money."

Liu Xiaobei chuckled and explained, "I am not sick! How could I be sick? I am very healthy... Hey, I ask you, do you really not need a condom?"

Suddenly, at the final moment, the girlfriend pushed Liu Xiaobei aside and asked, "Do you have a condom?"

Liu Xiaobei was taken to the police station while shouting that he was wronged

Upon this thought, Liu Xiaobei took a deep breath and murmured to himself: "Oh, sacred love!"

Liu Xiaobei was taken aback; is there really someone in this world who hates condoms?

However, in order to exit smoothly from here, and to do so without any harm, Liu Xiaobei suddenly spoke up: "It is not the fault of the condom! The fault lies in your failure to purchase the correct condom!"

As university draws to a close, Liu Xiaobei resolutely decides to fulfill this dream that is not quite a dream.

My wife does not want to have children, and she is afraid of side effects from taking medication, so we always have to use condoms! Therefore, I have not had any children! Is this the fault of the condoms?" Officer Li said

However, before Liu Xiaobei could reach Xiaoyou's counter, he stood there in a daze

Liu Xiaobei followed the man and whispered, "What I mean is, don't you need a condom?"

Liu Xiaobei looked down and saw that a box of condoms had fallen out of his bag, though he did not know when it had happened

Liu Xiaobei awkwardly stopped speaking, glanced at the man, smiled, and said: "I apologize, it seems I have mistaken you. By the way, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Liu Xiaobei was humming when the car arrived

At that time, Officer Li was performing his duties and apprehended a thief on the bus. Liu Xiaobei happened to be on that bus as well and casually asked, "Officer, do you want to buy a condom?"

The bouquet of flowers was later placed on Liu Xiaobei's bedside, and Liu Xiaobei remembered the name Xiaoyou.

Liu Xiaobei continued, "He has a woman outside who is pregnant. Taking this opportunity, she is asking for money. Perhaps he didn't give her enough, and it has escalated to court. Sigh, everyone is well aware of these matters, my friend. How could he not know to keep something in reserve while doing things?"

A female clerk looked up and said, "Let's go!"

The man looked at Liu Xiaobei, no longer smiling, and with a look of someone observing a monster, said: "Are you not sick?"

Thus, a condom shattered Liu Xiaobei's small dream

Hmm... I guess... you love me

The young lady covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "It's nothing, it's only right!"

President Zhao merely smiled, his eyes glinting. Liu Xiaobei quickly shifted the topic, saying: "However, President Zhao, I noticed that there are actually no condoms sold in the supermarket beneath your shopping mall"

"So you little brat don't recognize the vibration key? I'm just not turning it off. I want to compete with Second Sister in patience. If I don't show her some color, she'll think I'm afraid of her! Taming women, you still have a lot to learn from me," Liu Xiaobei said proudly

On that day, Liu Xiaobei pretended to buy a bouquet of flowers from Xiao You's shop, specifically choosing the ones that were not available, and asked Xiao You to make a new bouquet for him

Liu Xiaobei declined to accept it, but the beggar brothers pushed the money in front of Liu Xiaobei, saying: "If you don't take it, you are looking down on me! In my life, I hate being looked down upon the most!"

This female police officer later became the third sister among Liu Xiaobei's girlfriends, and her name is Yun Qing

What is the problem

Liu Xiaobei was not discouraged at all by the failure of the business. With two years of sales experience, he has completely set aside such matters. In Liu Xiaobei's words, can the grievances encountered on the revolutionary path really be considered grievances?

Now Liu Xiaobei can no longer clearly remember the girl's appearance, but he still recalls her shocked expression when he confessed his feelings. At that time, Liu Xiaobei said: "My dear girl, I have only one condom in my life, and I am willing to dedicate it to you. I wonder if you would accept it"

The woman looked up again, glanced at Liu Xiaobei, and unexpectedly smiled. This smile left Liu Xiaobei stunned, his heart tumultuously churning.

Mr. Zhao, this is where you are mistaken. Now, even the walls by the roadside have condom vending machines, which indicates that human civilization has reached a stage where it recognizes the need for sexual protection. However, very few people would feel comfortable using the condoms from those machines. On the contrary, people tend to trust large shopping malls more. Nowadays, buying condoms is just like buying sanitary napkins; what is there to be embarrassed about?" Liu Xiaobei quickly explained. Nowadays, buying condoms is just like buying sanitary napkins; what is there to be embarrassed about?" Liu Xiaobei quickly explained.

Liu Xiaobei rushed to the entrance of the building in one breath, and just as he stopped to catch his breath, the phone rang. The timing of this call was truly inconvenient.

Officer Li, upon hearing this, asked: "What does that mean? Is there a condom that can make someone pregnant?"

After the incident, Liu Xiaobei, facing the hearty laughter of his friend Yang Yi, innocently remarked: "Sigh, in this world, no one can understand the extraordinary noble character of me, Liu Xiaobei. Here I am, such a dashing and handsome figure, a remarkable person, with the good intention of saving an innocent and ignorant young girl, yet she fails to comprehend me!"

At this moment, Liu Xiaobei is standing beside the bus stop waiting for the bus

Liu Xiaobei said without a moment's thought, "Guess."

Liu Xiaobei walked towards the woman without blinking, observing her attire, which suggested she was an employee here. Behind her were various types of dried flowers. Could it be that she was involved in making craft flowers

Liu Xiaobei watched the beggar brothers walk away for quite a distance before finally putting the money into his pocket. However, Liu Xiaobei always felt that something was amiss.

Liu Xiaobei turned around and saw it was still him. He said, "I have a one yuan coin in the left pocket of my pants that I forgot to take out yesterday. You can take it yourself! Brother, I really don't have time!"

The reasons behind Liu Xiaobei becoming a condom salesman are more interesting than the job itself

Liu Xiaobei was so preoccupied with looking at the young woman that he even forgot to express his gratitude, yet he did not forget to sneak a glance at the employee card hanging on her chest. Zhang Xiaoyou, Liu Xiaobei made a concerted effort to remember this name in his mind

The man smiled gentlemanly and walked aside

Liu Xiaobei quickly lowered his head, thinking, "It's over! I didn't expect my first impression to be this! I truly am a remarkable person, making such an extraordinary entrance.

Liu Xiaobei said with a smile, "Yes, it is for sale! Hehe!" In front of Liu Xiaobei, even a beggar could potentially be developed into a customer. Liu Xiaobei has always firmly believed that as long as one is a man, there will always be times when condoms are needed

Liu Xiaobei had completed all the preparatory work, just waiting for his girlfriend's arrival. In fact, the preparatory work mainly involved paying for his roommates to have an all-night session at the internet café, finding some sex education documentaries that the boys' dormitory often watched, buying some snacks, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the fair lady

As a result, all the thieves that were apprehended have been interrogated, yet no one has come to speak to Liu Xiaobei.

When Liu Xiaobei came out of General Manager Zhao's office, he once again uttered his self-proclaimed classic saying: You may not know me, Liu Xiaobei, but you absolutely cannot be unaware of condoms

In the warm spring breeze, Liu Xiaobei inevitably thought of Xiao You again. Thinking of Xiao You, Liu Xiaobei smiled with satisfaction. The two years of sales work had allowed Liu Xiaobei to meet countless women, but ever since he saw Xiao You after leaving President Zhao's office, Liu Xiaobei felt that he had finally experienced the essence of love once more

Officer Li glanced at Liu Xiaobei, tapped the table, and said: "What are you selling condoms for? Can't you sell something else? I hate condoms!"

Regarding why Liu Xiaobei did not prepare condoms at the time, he concluded that it was related to the lack of condom awareness. Thus, at the graduation farewell dinner, a drunken Liu Xiaobei suddenly shouted: "I will carry out the work of promoting condom awareness to the end"

However, Liu Xiaobei, who enjoys saying such things, experienced a heartbreak last winter, an unprecedented heartbreak

General Zhao wore a look of suspicion

Liu Xiaobei said with a heart full of grievances: "Alas! It is only to blame that one night, in a state of confusion, I accidentally answered a question incorrectly and revealed my true feelings. By the time I regained my senses, it was already too late, and I ended up offending my second sister."

The second sister is actually Fang Yan, as Liu Xiaobei currently has three girlfriends. To differentiate them, Liu Xiaobei refers to Xue Rui as the first sister, Fang Yan as the second sister, and Yun Qing as the third sister. At the same time, Liu Xiaobei humorously claims to be a modern version of Chu Liuxiang

As night falls, the surroundings are quiet, occasionally interrupted by the cries of a cat. Although the cat's meows are pitiful and mournful yet loud, they still do not hinder Liu Xiaobei's momentum to continue his spring dream to the end

Liu Xiaobei sat down without greeting anyone, thinking to himself that today, after going out, he had gained another asset to boast about in front of his friends

The man beside Liu Xiaobei looked at him strangely and couldn't help but interject, "Sir, I believe you have mistaken the person."

After this incident, Liu Xiaobei did not dare to call the company, nor did he dare to call his other friends. If this matter were to spread, it would greatly embarrass Liu Xiaobei

Liu Xiaobei said happily: "That would really trouble you, why don't you try it yourself! If you need anything in the future, just give me a call, and I will deliver it to you directly. You know, a person like you going out to buy that is just... haha! Just remember, we are the 'Even if it doesn't work, it still works' brand"

Uncle!" Just as Liu Xiaobei finished speaking, a little friend suddenly called out to him.

Liu Xiaobei stared blankly at Officer Li

Liu Xiaobei has another famous saying, which he directed at his girlfriends: "My love is like a condom, disposable, so none of you should fall in love with me." When Liu Xiaobei said this, he was smiling, and there was a hint of provocation in his eyes

Mr. Zhao took the business card, glanced at it, and said in a cordial manner: "Oh! Liu Xiaobei, right? Please, have a seat, have a seat!"

No wonder people say that the smaller the girl, the more she likes a strong man; it seems that this is not just a rumor. Look at Xiao You, such a delicate woman, how is it that she smiles so gently at that stout man in front of her?

Suddenly, Liu Xiaobei smiled, 36 for a box, 106 for three boxes, how could that beggar brother have calculated it! It turned out that he had actually saved two yuan. Thinking of those two yuan saved, Liu Xiaobei finally felt at ease.

Everything is proceeding very smoothly

At this moment, Liu Xiaobei regretted it; who could be fooled but the people's police? Why provoke the people's police for no reason? Even if one could deceive them, there would be no opportunity to encounter Officer Li again!

Hello. Liu Xiaobei answered the phone, his eyes still squinting

Liu Xiaobei was silenced by the righteous words of the beggar brothers and accepted the six coins

Which Mr. Wang?

Suddenly, Officer Li looked at Liu Xiaobei with a furious expression, raised his hand, and said: "Take this person away!"

As he gradually approached, Liu Xiaobei was pondering how to initiate a conversation in the best way when suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground

Liu Xiaobei thought to himself, Damn! I am a legitimate salesperson!

Xiao Beixin felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that she really has a boyfriend? What about me? This is a rare and fatal beauty that I have encountered in my life! I cannot miss this opportunity, absolutely cannot miss it! Since heaven has arranged for me to meet her, there must be a reason for this encounter! Yes! Liu Xiaobei thought, the woman I, Liu Xiaobei, have met, the woman I, Liu Xiaobei, have taken a liking to, what does it matter if she has a boyfriend?

The beggar brother laughed happily and said, "That's right, 36 for a box, 106 for three boxes, this kind of transaction is fair! Besides, brother, don't feel bad about it; this is also a necessity for my life!"

Liu Xiaobei looked down and saw that the child was holding a tissue, as if intending to give it to Liu Xiaobei

Liu Xiaobei was about to leave after leaving his phone number when Officer Li suddenly appeared and pointed at Liu Xiaobei, saying: "Come here!"

Liu Xiaobei quickly regained focus and obediently left behind a phone number

Is that so? Suddenly, a look of pride appeared on Zhao's face

The beggar did not reach into Liu Xiaobei's pocket, but instead pointed to the ground and said, "Brother, you dropped something."

"Here you go! Wipe your nose. Mom said that men shouldn't casually blow their noses in public places," the child said in an exceptionally adorable manner

"However, your quality..." Before Mr. Zhao could finish speaking, Liu Xiaobei immediately took out a box from his bag and handed it to Mr. Zhao, saying: "This is our new romantic and playful model of the 'Even if it doesn't work, it works' brand condoms. You can try it first, and if it's good, we can cooperate further. You can start by ordering a smaller quantity!"

Mr. Zhao appeared to be in a difficult position as he took the condom and said, "How about I give it a try?"

Bang! The phone has been disconnected

The beggar picked up the coins from the bowl and handed them to Liu Xiaobei, saying, "Here! Sell me a few boxes! I didn't bring much change today"

Sir, are you alright

Although Liu Xiaobei boasts of himself as if he were a celestial being, which is an exaggeration, it must be said that he is indeed quite handsome. With striking features and an upright posture, he can appear gentlemanly at will or act cool whenever he desires. This appearance has certainly captivated many innocent and carefree young women. Currently, Liu Xiaobei is entangled with three girlfriends.

No wonder so many women prefer military attire over glamorous clothing; it seems to be very scientifically justified. Look at this woman, once she dons this military uniform, she truly exudes a heroic and spirited demeanor. Coupled with her charming face, she is simply breathtaking!

Liu Xiaobei hung up the phone, smiled to himself, and then entered the shopping mall

However, that beggar seemed to have set his sights on Liu Xiaobei and patted Liu Xiaobei on the shoulder

The man cast a sidelong glance at Liu Xiaobei, then raised his hand to hail a taxi and left

Mr. Zhao, I am Liu Xiaobei, who made an appointment with you yesterday. Here is my business card!" Liu Xiaobei respectfully handed over the business card, observing Mr. Zhao's face, and thought to himself: With such a face full of mischief, he probably has at least three to five lovers outside; today's matter is promising.

Oh dear! General Zhao, you have truly put me in a difficult position. This item, I cannot explain or demonstrate its function to you. There is a saying that goes well: a condom, only those who use it know! It is indeed true that only those who use it understand; you must experience it personally, and there is really no need for me to elaborate further.

Yang is also a cohabiting close friend of Liu Xiaobei, a university classmate, and they have always been very close, just a step away from entering the same profession

Liu Xiaobei entered Officer Li's office with trepidation, having seen Yun Qing stifling a laugh before going in

Enough, I say, Xiao Bei, don't you think there are too many critical junctures in your life? You seem to find yourself at one of those junctures almost every month; I can't imagine how you don't get tired standing there, just watching you exhausts me! Now, I command you to hurry back. Why didn't you take your personal phone when you went out, you rascal?" Yang Yi didn't pay any attention to Liu Xiao Bei's words and shouted at him.

Then leave your phone number before you go! said the female police officer

Two years ago, Liu Xiaobei had just entered his senior year. Although Liu Xiaobei, who was about to leave the university campus, had dated five girlfriends, he had never had a single deep conversation with any of them

However, Liu Xiaobei also deeply understands that before his ideals can be realized, he must honestly continue to be a condom salesman

"Each counter here is about 5 centimeters higher than the normal ground level, and quite a few guests have tripped over it accidentally. I truly apologize for that," the young lady said with a smile.

Mr. Zhao also smiled amusedly.

Thus, Liu Xiaobei boldly stepped forward and asked, "May I leave now?"

The person who has arrived is Officer Li, who purchased a box of condoms from Liu Xiaobei two months ago

General Zhao smiled slightly and said, "In a supermarket with a large flow of people, I am afraid we would feel embarrassed to sell such items, and others might also feel embarrassed to buy them"

Do you know why I brought you here? Officer Li asked

Liu Xiaobei sat down without any courtesy, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his tone changed, as if he were speaking to an old friend he had known for many years, saying: "I say, General Zhao, do you know General Wang from the Zhejiang electrical industry?"

After speaking, Liu Xiaobei noticed a man in a well-tailored suit looking at him, so he approached and said like an old friend: "Hey, you know, I am a man, isn't it tough for me? I have to marry and have children, right? I have to support my family, right? I have to be filial to my elders, right? I have to strive for success, right? ... ... "

Liu Xiaobei took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down a bit. He took the phone away from his ear to check the time and said to Yang Yi: "I received a threatening call late last night, and I am still feeling uneasy today, so I didn't bring that personal phone. Brother, please keep an eye on it for me. If I am in trouble, can you just stand by and do nothing?"

However, he is currently in a bit of trouble; I don't know if you have heard, but he is in the midst of a lawsuit.

"So, you little brat, don't you know where the power button is? You just went out like that, making such a racket!" Yang Yi did not spare Liu Xiaobei.

Liu Xiaobei asked this question entirely because he had never been involved in police work and had never witnessed a police arrest in person. Today, he unexpectedly got to see it, so he felt compelled to engage in a serious conversation. For Liu Xiaobei, work was the most serious matter, which is why he asked that question without any reservations

Liu Xiaobei saw someone leaving, snorted twice, and said: "Looking at you like this, I guess you really don't need a condom"

Kissing, caressing, undressing

The beggar looked at the box and curiously asked, "Do you carry this thing with you or are you selling it?"

Just as Liu Xiaobei felt that he was gradually carving a bloody path ahead, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. When Liu Xiaobei turned around, he was surprised to see a beggar. Without a second thought, Liu Xiaobei said, "I don't have time right now!" and then turned back to continue squeezing onto the bus.

On that day, as Liu Xiaobei entered the first floor of the elevator, the moment the door opened, he raised his eyes and saw a pure and lovely face. At that moment, Liu Xiaobei's heart raced, and he thought to himself: My fatal beauty has appeared

Liu Xiaobei looked up, and the face she had been staring at just moments ago suddenly appeared right in front of her, looking at her so closely, with eyes full of concern. As she spoke, she even reached out to support Liu Xiaobei!

In no time, the people rushing to catch the bus emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, and Liu Xiaobei, not paying attention, found himself squeezed to the back.

Liu Xiaobei immediately recognized it was a call from Yang Yi and said: "Is it you, my brother? If it is, then even if there is something urgent, please do not mention it now. I am currently at a crucial juncture in my life, and whether my second half of life will be happy depends on this moment."

"I suddenly thought of a question to ask you," a delicate voice said

Liu Xiaobei felt a drop of sweat in his heart, who would not feel wronged if they were accused of being a condom, and he was unjustly labeled with such a serious accusation

I am a little bird, wanting to fly but unable to soar high no matter how I try... The childish song awakened Liu Xiaobei

Indeed, Liu Xiaobei has a grand ideal. He often shakes his head and says to others, "Don't talk to me about ideals; my aspirations are too lofty for any of you to comprehend." At first, everyone was very curious about Liu Xiaobei's ideal, but when they learned the truth about it, they all expressed their admiration for its height

Liu Xiaobei was stunned on the spot; this police officer was not this angry even when making arrests

What? Don't you have to help many people every day? Liu Xiaobei felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but blurt it out

Liu Xiaobei's child just noticed something cool and heavy under the nose, which was about to overflow, so he quickly took the child's tissue, wiping while saying: "Good, only children who do not have a runny nose from a young age are good children"

The burly man standing in front of Xiaoyou was at that moment engaging in a friendly conversation with her. Liu Xiaobei would rather use the term friendly, as he sadly overlooked the word intimate.

Liu Xiaobei happily tilted his head back and happened to see the tall building in the distance, where Xiao You was inside. Filled with excitement, Liu Xiaobei dashed towards the building.

"Do you love me?" the other party asked

Liu Xiaobei, filled with emotions, grasped the hand of the beggar brother and exclaimed, "What a disparity, this is the disparity, the difference between people!"

Liu Xiaobei steeled himself and was just about to walk over when suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder from the side. Liu Xiaobei turned his head and gasped in surprise

You guess again

The beggar unexpectedly looked at Liu Xiaobei with a sympathetic gaze and sighed, "It's not easy, brother; no one has it easy!"

Liu Xiaobei is fully utilizing the resilience developed over the past two years, persistently pushing forward without yielding

Liu Xiaobei hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, picked up the box of condoms, and said to the beggar: "Thank you!"

Liu Xiaobei handed the condom to General Zhao. General Zhao never took his eyes off the condom and still smiled, saying, "I'm so busy with work, I don't have a chance to use this!"

Liu Xiaobei shook his head

Liu Xiaobei trembled as he took out three boxes of condoms from his bag and handed them to the beggar in front of him, excitedly saying: "One box is 36 yuan, but I will give you a discount, 100 yuan for 3 boxes"

It is truly a case of overlooking the details; Liu Xiaobei even bought new bed sheets but forgot about the matter of condoms

Liu Xiaobei was actually just momentarily happy, pleased by the arrival of spring. His current clients are already spread across several cities. However, Liu Xiaobei firmly believes that to be a good salesperson, an outstanding salesperson, one must be able to handle individuals effectively

The beggar brother took three boxes of condoms and casually picked up six coins from the bowl, handing them to Liu Xiaobei, saying, "Brother, I can't let you suffer a loss. Here are six dollars that should be given to you."

Police officer Li pointed at Liu Xiaobei and said angrily, "It's you guys who sell condoms that have caused me to not have children for three years since I got married! I hate condoms!"

Liu Xiaobei replied softly, "That doesn't seem right, does it? If you don't have children, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Why do you hate condoms?"
