Let alone a desired watch, I would be grateful to others for even being able to eat a hot meal.
After all, he was penniless when he was demoted, and all his subsidies were spent by Ruan Yunxi.
Ruan Yunxi emptied the private stash of supplies.
Those who boarded the train penniless and made it all the way to the Northwest were incredibly lucky to have survived.
It would be too tragic for Lu Minghua to starve to death like this.
Gu Weizhou paused, holding the watch strap: "This is a gift from you. I can still wear it. I'll wear it for a few more years."
Ruan Yunxi was surprised: "I gave it to you?"
Gu Weizhou nodded, a touch of tenderness appearing on his usually cool face: "The gift you gave me on my 18th birthday was a blessing for me to come of age."
Ruan Yunxi was bewildered for a few seconds before she remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. After all, they were not in the same city and were childhood sweethearts. At that time, she was going through a rebellious phase. Her parents asked her to accompany Gu Weizhou to his birthday party, but she was unwilling, saying that her studies were more important.
I just went to a department store and bought the cheapest watch as a gift, giving it to him perfunctorily.
Unexpectedly, even after ten years, he still cherishes it as a treasure, having broken it six times and repaired it six times, and still wearing it.
Faced with his heartfelt sentiments, Ruan Yunxi felt ashamed and a little bitter. She took the broken watch away and said, "Since it's broken, don't keep it. I'll buy you a new one."
"Why did you buy me a new one when it was perfectly fine?" Gu Weizhou thought this one was great, he had an attachment to it, and he wasn't used to not wearing it.
Ruan Yunxi made an excuse: "We're not getting married right away. We used to have wedding rings, but now we're keeping things simple. I'll buy you a watch as a wedding gift. Don't you want that?"
How could Gu Weizhou refuse? He panicked and immediately declared, "I'm willing. I'll take anything you give me."
"Okay, then you don't need to wear this one." Thinking back to their first meeting at the dock, she had complained about his worn-out watch, but she never imagined that it wasn't worn-out; it was a token of his affection for her.
How could anyone not be attracted to this man!
While Gu Weizhou was tidying up the yard, Ruan Yunxi hid in her spatial storage and found the watch she had hoarded. Her watch was not suitable for Gu Weizhou to wear.
Her father's watch was too extravagant and unsuitable for Gu Weizhou.
Needless to say, her mother's jewelry was either inlaid with jewels or diamonds, which was also unsuitable for Gu Weizhou.
Ruan Yunxi took out the watch she had prepared to give to Lu Minghua. This watch suited him, but Ruan Yunxi couldn't bring herself to give it to him. She felt it was more embarrassing than giving him a cheap watch she could buy at random.
He treated me so well, how could I let him be my backup watch?
Ruan Yunxi could only continue selecting a suitable watch from the space.
She remembered that when she was stocking up, she bought a few watches at the Friendship Shopping Mall, intending to give them as gifts in the future, since there would always be times when she needed someone's help.
Soon, Ruan Yunxi found the watches she had hoarded in the corner. Upon seeing that they were foreign big brands, considering her current status and this sensitive era, Ruan Yunxi finally gave up on them and chose the latest watches released in Shanghai this year instead.
It's the same brand as the one Gu Weizhou has.
However, ten years have passed, and the watch has been upgraded, with some additions to the packaging, design, and functions.
Ruan Yunxi chose a watch that suited him. The previous watch had a metal strap, but this time Ruan Yunxi chose a leather one. However, in order to accommodate his preference for metal, he also bought an extra metal strap so that it could be replaced.
After Ruan Yunxi made her selection, she took it out of her spatial storage and intended to give it to him.
