Summer nights are especially lively, with streets and alleys filled with people strolling, vendors setting up stalls, and street performers...
The two stopped talking about the previous topic and began to stroll around slowly.
Chu Fang stopped in front of a jewelry stall.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Tingyue stopped and asked.
He picked up a delicate crystal necklace, which shimmered alluringly under the light, and gestured to Zhong Tingyue:
"It suits you perfectly."
Before Zhong Tingyue could speak, the stall owner gave her a thumbs-up and praised, "You have a good eye, sir! This is our shop's prized possession, made from natural South African diamonds, designed by a world-class master, purely handcrafted, and there's only one in the entire world—absolutely one of a kind..."
Facing Chu Fang's burning gaze, Zhong Tingyue asked calmly, "Do you have money?"
“... ..."
The stall owner's introduction was abruptly cut off.
Chu Fang's smile froze. At this moment, he truly felt the danger a man faces: poverty.
It's so embarrassing that I can't even afford to buy my woman a necklace.
He could sense the strange look the stall owner was giving him.
The stall owner, understanding their predicament, asked, "How about a discount?"
How much will you sell it for?
"No bargaining at 100,000."
Chu Fang reached into his left pocket, then touched his right pocket, and pulled out two olive-green banknotes: "I only have two yuan."
"Sell!" the stall owner readily agreed. "Seeing that you're a straightforward young man, I'll take a loss. I wish you both happiness."
“... ..."
Damn it!
The stall owner must have made at least one dollar and fifty cents off me.
The two parties exchanged money and goods simultaneously.
Looking at the necklace in his hand, Chu Fang was overjoyed. He examined it under the light and saw that it was clearly made of glass. He then turned to Zhong Tingyue and said, "It's made of genuine South African diamonds! I got a great deal."
“... ..."
Zhong Tingyue twitched the corner of her mouth.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone brainwash themselves and then try to brainwash others.
Chu Fang wanted to put the necklace on her fair neck, but she turned her neck away and said haughtily, "No."
"Take it." He tugged at Zhong Tingyue. "This necklace is the one I bought for you with all my savings."
"don't want."
"I want to."
"don't want."
"want."
"No."
"want."
“... ..."
The two tugged at each other for a moment. Zhong Tingyue's lips curled up slightly as she stretched her neck, while Chu Fang beamed and put the crystal necklace around her neck.
Under the dazzling lights, the necklace encircled her slender neck, contrasting beautifully with her fair skin. Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.
"pretty!"
They walked from eight o'clock to ten o'clock, returned to the community, and stopped at the door after leaving the elevator.
They looked at each other.
Zhong Tingyue put down the tabby cat she was holding, faced Chu Fang, opened her arms, and Chu Fang immediately hugged it.
The two hugged each other tightly.
Chu Fang said softly, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
Before I met you, I never imagined the world could be so wonderful.
"Me too."
... ...
Reluctant to leave, Zhong Tingyue closed the door and returned home.
He Yi was sitting on the sofa watching TV when she turned around, glanced at the TV, and sighed, "Oh! What a pity."
As Zhong Tingyue changed her shoes, she asked, "What's a pity?"
"The raw rice was not cooked into cooked rice."
"..." Her face flushed, she rolled her eyes at her best friend, walked to Lily, the tabby cat in the living room, added cat food to her pet's plate, and watched Lily eat quietly and with relish.
"Did it work?" He Yi didn't let her off the hook and continued to ask.
"Um."
He Yi snapped her fingers: "The old bull finally got to eat tender grass, you actually managed to get that young succulent. And Chu Fang really likes you, what exactly does he like about you? Is he out of his mind?"
"Hey, I'm a real beauty, it's normal for people to pursue me. He's lucky he got me, okay?"
"Tch!" He Yi scoffed disdainfully. "I admit you're beautiful, but compared to Chu Fang, you're worlds apart. Not just in looks, but he possesses unimaginable..."
At this point, He Yi suddenly covered her mouth, almost revealing that Chu Fang was rich.
Zhong Tingyue was in a state of excitement and did not notice the hidden words between her best friends. She glanced at He Yi and then swayed towards her room.
Perhaps because she had already gone to sleep, or perhaps because she was too excited, Zhong Tingyue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep as the night deepened.
Having been single for over twenty years, the excitement of finally finding a partner is unimaginable.
Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, but Chu Fang also couldn't sleep and sent a message.
[Solo Queue Player in Love: Weiweiwei.JpG]
Wang Shu: Not here.
[A solo queue player in a dating game sent a red envelope.]
Zhong Tingyue clicked on it, and was furious.
[Wang Shu: 0.01?! Is there no justice? Is there no law? Is there no humanity?]
[Solo player in a dating game: I'm broke, give me some money.]
[Wang Shu sent a red envelope.]
[Solo Dating Player: 0.01?!]
[Wang Shu: I'm poor too, how about you send me another red envelope?]
They spent almost the entire night sending out red envelopes, and none of them contained more than 0.01 yuan.
Ten yuan is enough for them to make a living for a day.
... ...
When they woke up the next morning, they looked at each other and saw that they looked haggard with faint dark circles under their eyes.
"It's all your fault," Zhong Tingyue said reproachfully.
"Oh, it's my fault, it's my fault, it has nothing to do with me!"
Once the two established a relationship, their true colors, hidden behind masks, were fully exposed. Zhong Tingyue was no longer so gentle, nor even cold, but instead had the image of a 'tomboy'.
On his way to the company, Chu Fang was practically beaten up.
Upon arriving at the company, Zhong Tingyue once again adopted a cold and aloof demeanor, glared at him, and gracefully walked inside.
"Are you two really dating?" Jiang Wenzhen craned her neck.
"Nonsense!" Chu Fang replied seriously.
"Bullshit!" Jiang Wenzhen rolled her eyes. "You keep trying to fool me with this nonsense all day long, is it really that interesting?"
"Foolish woman."
Chu Fang ignored her and headed into the company.
"Hey, it seems Chu Fang is really dating Sister Zhong." Another receptionist said thoughtfully, stroking her chin.
"You've been brainwashed by that kid too? Him? He's not worthy of it!" Jiang Wenzhen no longer believed Chu Fang's words.
Upon arriving at his workstation, Chu Fang watched Zhong Tingyue working busily without disturbing her. He then sprawled out at his workstation, exuding an air of laziness.
That's all.
He has already decided to resign and will definitely not continue working.
Today, I only came to the company to accompany Zhong Tingyue to and from get off work, and to hang out with her when we were bored.
He was lying on his workstation, openly admiring Zhong Tingyue's stunning beauty, when the latter seemed to notice his gaze and glared at him, but the former continued to look as if nothing had happened.
