Chapter 100 He took her hand and wrapped it around his waist.
Xia Qingqing didn't expect that after she casually asked him what time it was, he would actually buy her a watch.
Watches are not cheap in this era, and they cost hundreds of yuan each.
Thinking about how he had bought so many things for her before, and how he gave so much money to her family when he went back to her parents' home, and how they were now just a couple in name only, and still independent individuals in essence, how could she have the nerve to always take advantage of him, so she waved her hand and said,
"No thanks."
Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, and said nothing more. He looked at the dazzling array of watches on the counter, raised his hand and pointed at one of them, and said to the salesperson inside:
"This one."
The salesperson saw that he was wearing a military uniform and had an extraordinary temperament. He took a special look at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was an imported laborer's watch. He knew that such a person must not be short of money, so he had an idea in his mind. After taking out the watch he chose, he raised his hand and took out a more expensive one and began to introduce it:
"Comrade, you can take a look at this one. This one is imported from abroad. It is very small. This girl has a thin wrist. It will look better with this thin watch chain. Not only can you tell time, but it can also be used as a decoration, just like a bracelet."
Lu was shocked. He had never had much contact with girls before, and he didn't know what styles girls generally liked. After listening to the boss's introduction, he raised his hand and took it.
Seeing that Lu Jingchen was about to be persuaded, Xia Qingchen hurried over, knowing that he had made up his mind to buy it for her, and she would be pretentious if she refused.
Well, since she was going to buy it, of course she had to buy one she liked.
She looked at the one recommended by the salesperson, lowered her head and looked carefully at the other styles in the counter, and finally her eyes fell on the one that Lu Jingchen chose.
The watch had a moderate dial, without too much decoration around it, and looked simple and generous. The hands were thinner than those of other watches, and it was simple and elegant.
Watches should be more practical than decorative, and she doesn't like fancy ones. Xia Qingying pointed at the one Lu Jingchen chose and whispered to him,
"I like the one you picked."
It was a simple sentence, but to Lu Jingchen's ears, it sounded as sweet as the sound of a spring. Looking at the girl in front of him, she had beautiful eyebrows and starry eyes, with a smile on her face. She looked very bright and lovely. Lu Jingchen responded,
"Okay."
Although it was just one simple word, he couldn't help but hear the meaning of doting.
Lu Jingchen looked at the salesperson and said in a deep voice:
"This is it."
Seeing that both of them liked this watch, the salesperson was not interested and stopped selling other watches. He smiled and said:
"This watch is not bad either. It's 206 yuan in total. Here is the watch box. I'll help you pack it up."
"No need." Lu Jingchen said, and quickly paid the money. Then he naturally took Xia Qingling's hand and prepared to help her put it on.
He saw that her wrist was white and thin, like a lotus root. He tried the watch on her wrist, then carefully adjusted the length of the strap. With a "click", the buckle was fixed. The
silver watch looked very beautiful on the white wrist.
The salesperson handed the watch box to Xia Qingying:
"Please keep the watch box."
Xia Qingying took the watch box, said "thank you", and left the counter with Lu Jingchen. They were about to leave the department store, but as soon as they walked to the front, the uncle who sold the camera last time called them:
"Comrade, comrade, didn't you like this camera very much last time? Do you want to buy one today?"
When he saw Xia Qingying buying a watch just now, he recognized her at a glance. In this era, there were very few lesbians who knew about cameras, and she was so beautiful, so the boss remembered her at once. Now that he saw that she bought a watch, he naturally asked her if she needed to buy a camera.
Xia Qingying was about to say "No thanks" when Lu Jingzhen had already walked to the counter and asked the uncle in a calm voice:
"Which model is it?"
The uncle hurriedly took out the "Seagull" brand camera that Xia Qingying had valued last time from the display cabinet, handed it to Lu Jingzhen, and introduced it:
"The optical quality of this camera lens is the best among all the cameras here, and the photos taken are very clear."
This camera looks smaller than other camera bodies and is very suitable for women. Lu Jingzhen took the camera from the boss and found that it looked small but heavy, so she took it in her hand and looked at it carefully.
Having already bought a watch, how could Xia Qingxi let him spend money on a camera? This camera was not a necessity, and it was so expensive. Even if he was rich, he didn't want to spend so much. He hurriedly said to Lu Jingchen:
"No need to buy it, let's go."
"This female comrade is quite knowledgeable about cameras. She fell in love with this model when she came to my place last time, but she thought it was too expensive, so she didn't buy it." This uncle knew how to do business, and said to Lu Jingchen with a smile.
It was obvious that he was hinting to him: your wife likes it very much, but she just can't bear to spend money, buy it for her quickly.
Xia Qingying was a little anxious, fearing that he would get carried away and listen to the uncle and buy it for her. In a panic, she called his name unexpectedly:
"Lu Jingzhen."
She seldom called him by his name. Lu Jingzhen turned his head to look at her, and saw that she suddenly raised her hand and pulled her sleeve, shook it gently twice, and said softly:
"Don't buy it, it's getting late, let's go."
Her action of pulling the sleeve was quite cute. This time Lu Jingzhen did not insist. He put down the camera and responded in a deep voice with one word:
"Okay."
Xia Qingying did not expect him to be so obedient, but she was relieved.
It's not that she was stingy and reluctant to spend money, but the money belonged to others. She was really uneasy about spending so much at once, buying a luxury digital product in this era when many people still couldn't eat enough.
"Come back next time when you need it." Seeing that he didn't buy it, the uncle didn't get angry, and still had a smile on his face, saying to the two of them.
"Okay." Lu Jingqi answered very seriously, not at all perfunctorily, and then turned to Xia Qingli and said:
"Let's go."
After that, the two walked out of the department store one after the other.
It takes about 50 minutes to ride from here to the western suburbs. The road ahead is relatively flat, but the road gets bumpier as you get closer to the suburbs. Xia Qingxi originally held the things she bought, but when they got to the suburbs, Lu Jingchen took them from her and hung them on the handlebars.
Because the road was bumpy, Xia Qingxi didn't show any mercy and directly raised her hand to grab Lu Jingchen's clothes, but even so, she almost couldn't maintain her balance once or twice.
At this time, Xia Qingxi realized why Lu Jingchen refused when she just said she wanted to buy some fruit. It was good enough for her to sit still on the road, and if she carried another bag of fruit, she would definitely not be able to handle it.
After riding for a distance, the person in front suddenly stopped the bike, and a pair of long legs naturally hung on the ground, supporting the bike very easily, and then took Xia Qingxi's hand from behind and wrapped it around his waist.
