Chapter 146 Trying on a Watch
“I saw a 747 model at his house. Gu Xing said he used to fly international routes in a 747. The 747 has a special meaning for him,” Xu Songning said softly.
Zhou Qiao nodded. Wouldn't that mean the gift was truly appreciated? When it comes to gift-giving, Song Ning is the best choice; she really put thought into it. Unlike some people who smash the guitar they had someone bring back from abroad, haha!
"He'll definitely like it, so let's choose this one."
Qin You, who had been standing behind them as a background figure, suddenly spoke up and asked the sales clerk, "When was this watch released?"
The sales clerk paused for a moment, then replied, "In January 2023, Boeing delivered its last 747, and Breitling took the opportunity to launch this special edition watch."
“If 747 really meant a lot to him in 2023, then he definitely got one,” Qin You said confidently.
"How do you know? What if he didn't buy it?" Zhou Qiao retorted.
Qin You didn't argue with her, but simply said, "A man's intuition is strong; he's not afraid of wasting money, so buy whatever you want."
Xu Songning pondered Qin You's words. He was right. She had called the store several times before the clerk finally agreed to send her one. This watch was a limited edition and not easy to buy.
If Xiang Yun were interested, he would have already acquired it.
"Ms. Xu, you can consider whether you want this watch. Other customers have also wanted it recently, so even if you don't buy it in the end, it won't affect its sale. There's no need to worry. We also have other aviation-themed watches in the store. Would you like to take a look?" The salesperson took out another watch.
Compared to the beauty of the 747 special edition, this watch caught her eye; it was the quintessential Xiang Yun style.
The inner ring is deep blue like the sea, the outer ring is black, the precision markings are white, and the small details are eye-catching red.
The watch's color scheme avoids anything flashy, opting instead for a simple and elegant look, making it a perfect fit for a composed and reserved captain.
The 747 special edition features a vibrant and outgoing color scheme, making it more suitable for younger pilots. The one the salesperson just brought out, however, perfectly suits Xiang Yun's composed and mature demeanor.
"I'll take this one." Xu Songning pointed to the watch in the shop assistant's hand.
"You've decided already? There are so many watches out there, why don't you take a look?" Zhou Qiao pointed to the other watches in the cabinet. There were several aviation-themed watches, which she thought were quite nice.
“It’s okay, I’ve done my research, and the other watches aren’t quite right.” Xu Songning decided that this was the one he wanted.
Just as the shop assistant was about to put the watch away, Zhou Qiao suddenly suggested that they try it out, "Let Qin You try it. His wrist should be about the same thickness as Captain Xiang's, so we can see how it works."
The shop assistant glanced at Qin You, who looked like a doorman. He was a typical handsome man and seemed to be the partner of the short-haired ladies, not the captain they had mentioned.
"Sure, you can."
“I won’t try this one, let’s try this one instead. This one is meant to be a gift for someone else, and it doesn’t fit him well. I want to see how a 43mm watch looks on him.” Zhou Qiao pointed to the watches on display in another cabinet.
"This is from the Superocean series. It's actually a dive watch, but the design is very beautiful, and it's perfectly suitable for any occasion. It's perfect for your boyfriend; it would be a great couple's watch."
The salesperson took out two watches from the cabinet. One was a 36mm watch with a white strap, gold markers, and irregularly colored time indicator graphics, which was both lively and elegant.
One model is 42mm in diameter, with a black strap and a dial in black, white, and gray, giving it a sophisticated, minimalist look.
Xu Songning smiled teasingly. This salesperson was really shrewd. There were three people looking at watches, but only one wanted to buy one. But with this couple's watch tactic, even if the other two were really a couple, they would still have to take a look.
Unfortunately, they weren't actually a couple. (Zhou)
Qiao waved her hand, "We are not..."
"try."
"What is it?" Zhou Qiao stared at him.
"Trying out a watch? What do you think it is?" Qin You naturally approached and held out his hand. "She and I aren't a couple, so put the women's watch away."
"Damn it!" Zhou Qiao cursed under her breath. These past few days, she had gotten used to Qin You hanging around her. The staff at the bar said they were a couple, and Qin You had never objected. But this time, when they went shopping, he actually denied it?
Every time, she would insist on denying it, but this time, in front of other people, Qin You actually took the initiative to deny it, which made Zhou Qiao even more unhappy.
Zhou Qiao gritted her teeth, feeling extremely annoyed!
Qin You put on the watch and bent his elbow to show the two people how it looked.
The 42mm watch fits Qin You perfectly on his wrist. The veins are encased in black, and his muscles are clearly defined when his arm hangs down naturally. Paired with this minimalist watch, he exudes an overwhelming aura of masculinity.
Zhou Qiao stared at it, her eyes wide. If it weren't for her displeasure, she would have really wanted to take the watch off; it was perfect for Qin You.
She snorted, "The size is just right. That watch would definitely suit Captain Xiang perfectly. I'm so envious; Captain Xiang gets a watch as a gift."
"I'll give you one too for your birthday next year." Xu Songning patted the disgruntled little jealous girl.
The shop assistant smiled and asked, "Do you only want this one?"
Qin You fiddled with his watch for a moment, then shook his head nonchalantly, "No, no one's delivering it, just take it."
Zhou Qiao rolled her eyes. Who was she targeting? Why hadn't she given her a watch? Besides, the broken guitar was weighing on her mind. If she couldn't get over it, Qin You would have to put up with her antics.
Zhou Qiao deliberately grabbed his hand, examined the watch closely for a couple of moments, and gave Qin You a bright smile, "You like it?"
"It's alright."
Zhou Qiao smiled and put the watch down. "It's alright, you seem to like it quite a bit, right? Then have your girlfriend buy it for you! Good luck!"
"Thank you for the blessing," Qin You snorted.
The shop assistant, not daring to get involved in the ensuing argument, packed up the watch Xu Songning wanted and handed it to her, saying, "Madam, welcome back next time!"
Xu Songning took the watch, put his arm around Zhou Qiao's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Songning and I are going to eat. You can drive back yourself." Zhou Qiao made a face and, while the shop assistant was taking off Qin You's watch, she pulled Xu Songning and ran away quickly.
Qin You took the watch off and placed it on the counter. Instead of chasing after Zhou Qiao who had run away, he stood in front of the counter, looking at the women's watch that the salesperson had introduced. He imagined in his mind that this watch would suit Zhou Qiao very well.
"Sir, would you like to take a look at this watch? It's a real shame that the lady didn't try it on; this watch suits her style perfectly," the saleswoman praised. She was about to launch into a long explanation of the watch's merits when Qin You interrupted her.
"Please reserve one of these for me, wrap it up, and I'll come pick it up in a few days."
The shop assistant immediately flashed a professional smile and said tactfully, "Yes, sir! I wish you success in winning over that lady!"
