At 1:55 PM, Su Tiantian had already arrived at the entrance of the sports center. Luckily, she was on a motorcycle, so parking wasn't difficult. The winter sun was gentle, filtering through the leaves and spilling onto the tree-lined avenue. Su Tiantian's skin glowed faintly in the sunlight, and her slender hair looked not at all old-fashioned, but rather endearing. She looked over and saw a beautiful woman standing at the entrance, waiting for someone. Many people were coming and going, and many men's eyes lingered on her.
Su Tiantian checked her phone. It was already 2:05 PM, and she still hadn't seen him. She wondered if she should send him a WeChat message to ask him about it. Ma Yiqiang replied: "That person is late. Bad review. No sense of time. Not worthy of my cousin." Su Tiantian smiled: "My cousin said bad review, so bad review." She recalled how Ma Yiqiang, when they were little, wouldn't call her "cousin." He'd always come after her, and she'd been criticized countless times. His excuse was: "We're classmates. Calling her "cousin" makes me look lowly. When should I start calling her "cousin"? Ever since she went to middle school in town."
Su Tiantian, who was reminiscing, heard a car horn and thought it was blocking her way, so she stepped aside. But the other party continued to honk. Su Tiantian looked up at the car window and saw a man roll down the window halfway and greeted her, "Hello, Miss Su, I'm Duan Boyan. I've been here for a long time."
Su Tiantian was a little upset. She said she was early, and she guessed he'd been observing me recklessly from the car. This behavior was a bit excessive. Duan Boyan added, "Wait a minute, I'll go park." Su Tiantian's WeChat notification indicated a message had arrived. It was from Ma Yiqiang: This person is not good. Su Tiantian: I think so too. Let's wait and see what he does. Ma Yiqiang: I'm watching you nearby.
After parking the car, Duan Boyan walked over to Su Tiantian and said, "Miss Su, let's go in and take a walk." Duan Boyan was wearing a black jacket, black casual pants, and black sneakers. The brand of the sneakers looked expensive, neither handsome nor ugly. Su Tiantian followed him into the sports center. The sports center was indeed very lively. The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival was fully displayed here, with red elements and ancient style elements. There were many people watching the basketball game. Duan Boyan wanted to go over there, but Su Tiantian said, "I want to see the stalls for the garden party." There were roughly several types of stalls: snack stalls, boutique small gift stalls, game stalls, and beverage stalls. There were four rows of stalls, and each row seemed to have quite a few stalls. It seemed that many people wanted to make money during the Spring Festival.
Walking past row after row of stalls, Su Tiantian stopped to look at anything he liked. Duan Boyan stood by without saying a word, and seemed a little unhappy. Su Tiantian ignored him. If he liked something, he would ask the price, bargain, and buy if the price was right. He bought three small accessories along the way. Duan Boyan never took the initiative to pay, and of course Su Tiantian didn't wait for him to pay. Every time he wanted to buy something, he would immediately take out his mobile phone to scan the code and pay.
Duan Boyan said, "The things sold here are a bit expensive. You can save some money by buying them at the market."
Su Tiantian said, "I'm going back to work soon. If I see something I like here, I'll buy it. It's not expensive, right?"
Duan Boyan asked, "Are you going to develop in Kuozhou City in the future?"
Su Tiantian looked the other person in the eye and said, "Not necessarily. No one can predict what will happen in the future."
Duan Boyan didn't buy anything, not even water. Isn't he thirsty? After walking for a while, Su Tiantian felt thirsty and her legs were a little sore. She asked Duan Boyan, "I'm thirsty. Are you thirsty?" Duan Boyan shook his head. Su Tiantian bought two cups of sugarcane juice for 6 yuan each. The green sugarcane juice looked good. She handed one to Duan Boyan and asked, "I don't know if you like it. If not, what would you like to drink?" Duan Boyan took it and said, "Thank you." He immediately inserted the straw into the cup and drank.
Ma Yiqiang sent a WeChat message: This is too much. He can't even afford to buy a drink. There is really no hope for you in the future. There is a saying that stinginess will ruin everything. This man is no good. Cousin, please go home soon.
Su Tiantian: Let’s wait a little longer.
After replying to the message, Su Tiantian saw Duan Boyan also replying with his head down.
After a while, Duan Boyan looked up and said to Su Tiantian, "Miss Su, my eldest brother just sent me a message saying that my eldest sister-in-law needs an emergency cesarean section and wants me to buy some maternity and baby supplies to go to the hospital. Can you go with me? I don't know what to buy."
Su Tiantian, who has been single since birth, said, "I don't know what to buy."
Duan Boyan said, "We can just ask the salesperson at the maternity and baby store. There's a very famous maternity and baby store three or four minutes away. Let's walk there together. Parking is more troublesome if we drive."
Su Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay." Then she sent a WeChat message to Ma Yiqiang: He asked me to go to the maternity and baby store to buy things for his sister-in-law who was preparing to give birth.
Ma Yiqiang: The first time I saw someone go on a blind date, it turned into a trip to a maternity and baby store. Don't women prepare things for childbirth before giving birth? My second sister-in-law was six months pregnant and had already bought some items.
Sure enough, the maternity and baby store was nearby. They finished their sugarcane juice, tossed the cup into the trash, and walked into the store. It looked quite large, with two floors, and several customers were shopping. As they walked in, a friendly salesperson greeted them with a broad smile: "Happy New Year! Welcome! What could you two be looking for?"
Duan Boyan asked: "What do mothers who are about to give birth need to buy? What will the newborn baby use?"
The saleswoman smiled even sweeter when she heard this. "We have a lot of stuff, like milk powder, diapers, bottles, breast pumps, nursing pads, sanitary napkins, wet wipes, towels, and so on. We have a list of recommended items here. You can take a look." Duan Boyan took the paper and looked at it. "Then let's take a look at the milk powder and diapers first." The milk powder and diapers recommended by the saleswoman were all famous brands. They were described in great detail and looked good, and of course, the prices were great. Su Tiantian saw Duan Boyan actively asking the saleswoman questions.
