The pedestrian street is a bustling area in the commercial center, surrounded by many large shopping malls. Today is the weekend, and there are many people out for leisure and entertainment, so parking spaces are hard to find.
Xu Qingsong had already driven the car around twice.
Liu Wangxue leaned his elbows on the car window, supported his chin, and looked out the window.
Xu Qingsong asked her: "Are you anxious?"
Liu Wangxue leaned back in his chair, shook his head, and smiled: "As an adult, you still need to be patient."
Passing by the entrance of a shopping mall parking lot, it still showed no parking spaces. After driving a short distance, he suddenly saw a car in front of him on the right driving out of a roadside parking space. Xu Qingsong turned on the red light and parked close to the car, waiting for the car to drive away before he parked in.
This location is one subway stop away from the pedestrian street, and there is a subway station right next to it.
Xu Qingsong asked Liu Wangxue: "Do you want to take the subway?"
Liu Wangxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's not sit down. It's not far. Just walk over and walk along the road."
When they were in college, Liu Wangxue and Wenxi often visited this pedestrian street.
After studying hard for a week, we always had to go out and relax on the weekend. At that time, we were not well off financially, so we only went window shopping.
Buy some street snacks, eat while walking and chatting, and after walking around the whole street, find a place to have dinner as a meal for yourself, and then take the subway back.
I rarely watch movies outside, but my school has a screening room, and sometimes popular movies are shown there. I can buy a ticket at a much lower price than the market price by logging into the campus app.
Liu Wangxue pointed to the window of a jewelry store on the street and said to Xu Qingsong, "I remember this used to be a clothing store. Wenxi and I passed by here once and really liked the dress in the window."
She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
"And then?" Xu Qingsong asked, and was infected by her and started laughing too.
At that time, Liu Wangxue and Wenxi were working hard part-time to buy brand-name bags.
The two bought a bag and had some money left. Wenxi's senior happened to invite her to attend a cocktail party for a designer circle.
Wenxi also got an invitation letter for Liu Wangxue, and the two of them decided to buy some decent clothes, so they went out shopping.
I passed by this shop and fell in love with the little dress in the window.
The two of them walked in excitedly arm in arm, asked the salesperson for their sizes, and wanted to try them on.
The salesgirl looked them over from head to toe with an undisguised gaze. She had a professional smile on her face and looked polite and decent, but her tone of voice was like a cold arrow: "The long one is 3,800 yuan, and the short one is 2,900 yuan. Are you sure you want to try it?"
The meaning is very clear: you don't look like people who can afford it. If you really want to try it, I can help you out of professional ethics. But if you really can't afford it and just want to try it out, don't bother me.
Wen Xi's face immediately turned cold, and without saying a word, he dragged Liu Wangxue out the door: "What's your attitude?! You can't let her make money even if you have it!"
In the end, they gave up the plan to buy the house and rented one each from a second-hand store.
Liu Wangxue said: "For many years afterwards, Wenxi remembered this incident and gnashed his teeth every time he mentioned it."
Xu Qingsong thought of some relevant scenes in some dramas and asked with a smile: "Wasn't Wenxi successful in her career later on? Didn't she come back to avenge her past?"
His expression changed into a haughty one, and he gestured as he spoke: "This one, this one, I don't want any of them, pack up all the others."
Liu Wangxue laughed out loud at his amusement: "She wanted to do that, but I stopped her. Even if you have money, you can't spend it on unworthy people and things. But we just happened to pass by here that day and found that the store had been changed to this jewelry store."
After the two finished chatting and laughing, they were about to move on when a young girl in work uniform came out to greet them.
She noticed Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong when they passed by. They were handsome men and beautiful women, and looked very pleasing to the eyes. Then she saw the two of them standing in front of the window, pointing at the exhibits inside and talking and laughing.
There were many customers shopping in the store at this time. She was greeting a young couple while keeping an eye on the outside. When the couple finished shopping and went to check out, she saw that the people at the door had not left yet, so she went out to greet them.
The little girl has a round face, and her smile is particularly festive: "Do you two have any favorite styles? Why don't you come to the store and take a look? Our store's Mid-Autumn Festival warm-up activities have already started, especially for couples' styles, the discounts are very attractive."
Liu Wangxue wanted to take a step forward but didn't, and looked at Xu Qingsong.
When she is shopping outside, she is most afraid of encountering enthusiastic shopping guides, because as long as the shopping guide is enthusiastic, she may not want to live up to this enthusiasm and buy something unexpected.
She looked at Xu Qingsong, hoping that Xu Qingsong would say, "No, thank you, let's go."
But Xu Qingsong said, "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Then he turned around and smiled at her.
Liu Wangxue felt that what his smile wanted to convey was, "I roughly know what you are thinking, but I want to do the opposite."
After entering the store, the girl took them directly to the couple's accessories area and introduced each item one by one in a lively voice.
"You can take a look at this one. It's the designer's new model for this fall, named 'Feng Qi Wu'. The women's one is a necklace, and the men's one is a ring." The girl said as she unlocked the cabinet, put on gloves, and took out the set.
The design is very simple, the pendant of the necklace is a Q version of a phoenix, and the ring should be a phoenix tree, with branches as the ring and embossed leaves as embellishments. The ring is relatively narrow and does not look exaggerated, it is quite exquisite.
The little girl took out a small magnifying glass from the pocket of her apron, handed it to Liu Wangxue, and said, "This one draws on the micro-carving technique. You can take a closer look. Whether it's the feathers of the little phoenix or the texture of the branches and leaves, they are all clearly visible, and the lines are smooth and delicate. It can definitely be made into a handicraft."
Liu Wangxue held a magnifying glass and looked at the pendant and ring. Xu Qingsong came over and put his head close to hers.
"It's really good." Xu Qingsong commented.
The little girl took off her necklace, picked up the ring and put it on the little phoenix pendant. She turned it at an angle, and the little phoenix stood steadily in the circle.
She pointed to the phoenix's claws and said, "There is a small magnet in these two places, so you can also put the ring into the necklace, so that it can be combined into a piece of jewelry."
Liu Wangxue nodded. It looked nice, but she didn’t need it.
However, in the hopeful eyes of the little girl, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have any recommendations that are not couple's items?"
Oh, let’s buy one, Liu Wangxue thought, and give it to Tao Huaxin.
"Ah, ah?" The little girl was a little confused for a moment, and her eyes quickly moved back and forth between the two people in front of her.
But she was a professional, and she managed her expression in an instant: "Yes, yes!"
She locked the pair of ornaments back and took them both to another area.
