Chapter Seventy-Three: A Ridiculous Idea
My hand was still there, just waiting for Zhang Wen to take the money away. And Zhang Wen looked at the handful of banknotes in my hand, blinked, and suddenly came over to take it. At the same time, she also pursed her lips and said unconvinced: "Who said that I look down on the poor? I myself am poor, should I still look down on myself? ”
I was stunned and said funny: "You are also poor?" Can the poor afford to open an upscale clothing store like yours? Will the poor be as wasteful as you are? ”
Zhang Wen was a little embarrassed, stomped her foot, and said angrily, "You...... You're not done yet, are you? Who wants to waste it? Who wants to throw things away? I can't help but move. I've never moved before, and I didn't think I could sell those things at first, but then when I reacted, I said I'd give you all the things. Seeing that you really sold it, I regret dying! Really, I don't know anything, and I'm here to teach people. Do you think I'm rich? That clothing store was actually a joint venture between me, my sister, and Xiaoru. The amount of money I paid was the least among the three. It's just that because Xiaoru and my sister both have jobs, I was asked to manage the business. After a year of hard work, in addition to the dividends of my sister and Xiaoru, I also have to pay rent and employee salaries. I don't really have much money in my pocket. Xiaoru lives in a high-end residence and drives a car, but I can only rent that kind of old house and buy an electric car to travel, can't you see these? And say that I am rich, I am not poor? Maybe I'm poorer than you! ”
I was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this Zhang Wen really doesn't look like she is very rich. The house she rented was indeed small and old, and it was estimated that it would not cost much rent a year. An electric car costs up to 2,000 yuan, which is really not a luxury waste. Don't...... It's really as she said, but I didn't expect these things to be sold at first, but when I reacted, I regretted that it was too late?
At a glance of my eyes, I just saw that Zhang Wen had turned her back and counted the banknotes. That look, where is the indifference to his own things just now, it's completely the appearance of a miser.
I couldn't help laughing, I didn't speak, I just watched her count the money. After a while, Zhang Wen probably counted the number, turned around and said to me with a dazzled smile: "My little thing, really sold for so much money?" The surname is Dai, are you quite capable? ”
I smiled and said, "Have you counted them all?" Copy the list to check. If nothing goes wrong, then I'll take my leave. ”
Zhang Wen glanced at me, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry?" You've helped me so much, and I haven't even thanked you properly. By the way, let me ask you, did you originally plan to ask for this money yourself, but you were so angry that I said this about you? ”
I smiled and said, "What are you talking about?" You still don't believe me? Yes, even if I'm full, I'm not happy to find it myself. Anyway, I've helped you move everything, and I already have an explanation over there. You can think as much as you like, and we'll see you soon! No, it's better to be gone! ”
After saying that, I ignored Zhang Wen and turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as I took a step, my arm was grabbed by Zhang Wen, but I heard her exclaim: "Oh, I didn't mean that!" Why do you have such a bad temper? Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong. I shouldn't have misunderstood you and wronged you. Mr. Dai, I'm sorry, okay? ”
I was amazed to hear this unreasonable woman apologize to me. I couldn't help but stop and look back at her in surprise. Zhang Wen seemed to be a little unable to bear my surprised gaze, her little face couldn't help but turn red, her hand still held my arm, looked elsewhere, and said softly: "What are you doing?" Haven't seen a woman say I'm sorry? I'm not like you, huh! I don't want to apologize for doing something wrong. ”
I was going to ask, what did I do wrong? But before the words came out, Zhang Wen must have been referring to the fact that I saw the two photos of her. In all fairness, when I saw those two beautiful photos of her, I did not mean it. But then, with curiosity and sensory stimulation, I secretly continued to watch. Although I didn't see anything after that, subjectively, my subsequent actions were intentional. After all, I'm not wrong about that incident, and I'm embarrassed to admit it myself. And, now that I think about it, I really didn't apologize to Zhang Wen for this matter. I can't see that Zhang Wen is still a woman who has the courage to admit her mistakes, and she is not as unreasonable as I imagined. If a woman can do this, why can't I apologize to her?
Thinking of this, the anger in my heart calmed down. turned around and said in a gentle tone: "Miss Zhang, since you apologized, then we won't talk about this matter." But that day, I don't seem to have told you how sorry I am. Now, I want to solemnly ......"
Before I finished speaking, Zhang Wen suddenly interrupted what I was about to say, and hurriedly interjected: "Okay, that incident is over, don't mention it again." You...... Look at you, you're covered in sweat and dust, don't say so much, go to the bathroom and wash up first. ”
I was stunned, looked at my body, and after moving so many things, sure enough, my body was drenched in sweat and my clothes were covered with dust. I laughed a little and said, "Forget it, I'd better go home and take a shower." It's almost time, and it's time for me to take my leave. But before I go, I still have to ......."
"Take a bath? Xiaoru can also be washed here! I'm going to invite you to dinner in the evening, so you don't have to go back. By the way, Xiaoru also has the latest washing machine here, so you can wash your clothes when you take a shower. It only takes 20 minutes to dry, and your dirty clothes become clean and refreshing, how about it? ”
I sweat! Take a bath here? Invite me to dinner? This Zhang Wen, why is she suddenly so good to me all of a sudden?
I smiled bitterly and said, "No need, right? Helping you move is Mr. Tang's order, which is equivalent to my job, so I don't need to be so polite. Moreover, taking a bath at Mr. Tang's house is too ......"
"Oh, Xiaoru's home is also my home now, I'll let you wash it. Go and go, covered in stinky sweat, I smell a strange smell when I talk to you, and I am uncomfortable to death. I'll invite you to dinner after washing, and this meal is not to thank you for helping me move, but ...... Thank you for not letting me waste it. If you don't go, you're looking down on me! ”
I was pushed by Zhang Wen and entered the bathroom of Tang Xiaoru's house with tears and laughter. I was about to find another way to refuse, but I saw Zhang Wen pointing to a huge bathtub in the bathroom and said to me: "Hurry up, you just stand in the bathtub and take a shower." There is shower gel and shampoo on the shelf above, although it is for women, but you can make do with it. Also, there is a clean bath towel in the cabinet on the wall, and you can take one out to wipe yourself after washing. Finally, see this washing machine? Take off the dirty clothes and throw them in, press the automatic button, it will enter the water by itself to wash and dry, and you don't need to care about it at all. Am I clear enough? If that's clear enough, let's get started! I'll wait for you for twenty minutes, and in twenty minutes, we'll go out to dinner together! ”
This woman said everything like a machine gun, and I couldn't even insert a word. It was easy to wait for her to finish, but when she turned around, she immediately walked out of the bathroom, and the door closed with a bang.
It took me two seconds to react, and I had to smile wryly. I didn't really want her to invite me to dinner, but taking a bath at Tang Xiaoru's house always made me feel abrupt. Turning around, I took a closer look at the bathroom. The bathroom is big and very clean. The tiles on the floor and walls, still the same as the outside, are paved in blue tones. It's just that the blue on the floor is slightly different from the blue on the wall. Standing in the bathroom, I feel like I am standing on the blue sea, and around me, there is a clear blue sky. The tub was also blue, like a small blue boat parked in the sea.
I couldn't help but sigh for such a beautiful bathroom, it seems that Tang Xiaoru has a preference for blue. I don't know, what mood and mood does this represent?
I slowly walked to the side of the bathtub, thinking that Tang Xiaoru would lie down here and take a bath every day. Her incomparably beautiful body will disappear in the bathtub water. What an alluring and desirable picture it was! If I were to bathe here in such a big way, would I desecrate this sacred place that belongs only to her?
Thinking about it, I had completely forgotten my own decision, and reached out to caress the edge of the bathtub, as if caressing Tang Xiaoru's body. In my heart, tenderness is surging at this moment, fantasizing about Tang Xiaoru's appearance, and I gradually fell into obsession.
"Hey! Why haven't you moved? Hurry up and wash, I'll be waiting to eat with you! ”
Zhang Wen's call outside woke me up from my fantasy. Back in reality, I was stunned. Alas, I also said that I would soon forget about Tang Xiaoru, but with my obsession just now, it seems that I have fallen a little deeper. What to do if you are so in love with a woman who will never get it!
Shaking my head, I forcibly stopped thinking about it. As soon as I thought about it, I remembered this woman who was just outside.
This Zhang Wen doesn't seem to be the small-bellied chicken intestine I imagined, plus a very unreasonable woman. She can admit her mistakes, but she is also a good girl with a real surname. I don't have any hatred for her in the first place, so there's no need to worry about anything with her anymore. Now she must invite me to dinner, I think it is because I have not only helped her move, but also saved her a little loss. If I refuse not to go, it will seem that I am cautious and deliberately can't get along with her.
Just go, I helped her get a lot of extra money back anyway. Invite me to dinner, and I'll be at ease.
I began to undress slowly, and though I didn't want to desecrate the place, I really couldn't go out to eat like this. Wash it, wash it, maybe, you won't have the opportunity to come here in the future. Being able to share a bathroom with Tang Xiaoru is not something that every man has.
I smiled wryly and said that first love was childish. Although it was the first time I had fallen in love with someone, I was now in my twenties. Why is the current idea like a young man with a young spring, so ridiculous?
