Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Spending Money Day 13
It was a new day. From getting up in the morning to having dinner, Liu Yue implemented her plan perfectly.
She finished the first draft of her thesis in the library. Because today was Saturday, she did not send a direct private message, but sent it to her supervisor's email address.
When she went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, the sun came out from behind the clouds. Although it wasn't too sunny, Liu Yue still opened Taobao and bought a parasol.
I don’t know if it’s because I bought a Bulgari yesterday, but when Liu Yue searched for parasols before, the unit price was basically no more than 30 yuan. Now when she searches again, the average order value has instantly increased several times, and the front row is full of coolibar, sunskip and Jiaoxia.
Well, she has finally nailed this account, and big data now assumes that she is a rich person.
Liu Yue chose coolibar and spent 328 yuan.
At seven o'clock in the evening, when Liu Yue was carrying her computer back to the dormitory, she was thinking about how to spend the remaining 6,000 yuan.
If she buys a camera...will she really study photography?
Liu Yue felt uncertain. She hadn't even explored many of the camera modes on her phone. She guessed that the camera would be idle after she bought it and would have no other use except posting on WeChat Moments.
But she could buy a Polaroid camera to try out, she heard it’s very easy to use.
Moreover, Liu Yue knew that Polaroid film was very expensive, so this sounded like it would better satisfy her spending needs.
She bought a Fuji mini12 in the elevator and continued to choose photo paper.
To be honest, Liu Yue only knew that photo paper was expensive before, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Tmall’s own white-edged photo paper costs 160 yuan per box, which contains 20 sheets. No wonder many people say that they can afford to buy Polaroid cameras but cannot afford to use them.
Liu Yue originally wanted to click the plus sign without thinking, but she didn't expect that the product was limited to one piece.
Ah, is that right? Eight yuan a sheet of photo paper and limited purchases? Is this a really good deal?
Liu Yue could only continue her search, looking for other stores to buy in bulk. She also discovered that photo paper not only came with white borders, but also with various patterns. Of course, the latter were more expensive.
She bought things here and there until the price in the shopping cart exceeded the remaining amount for today's task.
The elevator door opened and Liu Yue walked forward while looking at her phone. Before she placed an order, she heard crying.
Wait, this sound, this direction...
The people around were all watching and wondering who was crying so loudly and miserably, while Liu Yue put her phone in her pocket and walked quickly back to the dormitory.
——Sure enough, the crying sound came from here. It was her roommate Ke Yan crying bitterly.
Sang Yu and Wen Huiyi both pulled up a chair and sat down next to her. One handed her a tissue, and the other patted her on the back, both with the same look of despair on their faces.
...What else could Liu Yue do? She could only join them and silently opened another pack of tissues.
By the way, you can also stock up on tissue paper, which is a necessity for dormitory life.
Ke Yan cried very sadly and devotedly, and many classmates came in to comfort her when they passed by.
When I heard that she was crying like that because of a broken heart, every girl would say that breaking up is a good thing and you should have broken up a long time ago.
Her boyfriend is such a jerk. He's a gigolo and often uses cold violence against Ke Yan. He has a rugged face but thinks he's very handsome. He can squeeze out two barrels of oil as soon as he opens his mouth.
Others said that maybe Ke Yan lived too happily in the first half of her life, and God arranged this disaster for her in order to temper her.
No one tried to persuade her; instead, the more they tried to persuade her, the harder she cried. In the end, Ke Yan stopped crying only when she had no more strength left.
The onlookers dispersed, and Ke Yan said to her roommates, "This time, it's really over between him and me!"
Such familiar lines, Liu Yue couldn’t even remember how many times she had heard them.
"It's true!" Ke Yan emphasized again, "I've deleted all his contact information and blocked him. If he comes to contact you, don't pay any attention to him."
Wen Huiyi: "...Actually, we blocked him a long time ago."
Liu Yue nodded. Why keep a guy like him around? It's unlucky to even be on the list.
Ke Yan was stunned and looked at Sang Yu beside her.
Sang Yu: "Don't look at me. They added me for a few days before deleting me. I didn't approve it."
After hearing this, Ke Yan broke down again. She wanted to cry, but her voice was hoarse and her tears had dried up.
"I absolutely will never look back." She murmured, "If I act like a bitch again, can you all just slap me in the face?"
Liu Yue asked sincerely, "Can you say it again so I can record it with my phone?"
Ke Yan was stunned for a moment, she covered her face with her hands and continued to howl.
At this time, her cell phone rang. Ke Yan picked it up without even looking at it and was about to throw it away. Sang Yu was quick to stop her.
"Don't mess with your property," Sang Yu said. "If you throw it in his face, it's still valuable. What's the point of getting angry here? Or is hurting yourself a way for you to act like a spoiled child to him?"
"impossible!"
Provoked, Ke Yan stopped crying immediately: "He's nothing. Even if I'm a slut, there has to be a limit!"
Liu Yue and the others looked at her quietly. After yelling, Ke Yan finally calmed down.
She answered the phone, it was takeout, and it was a KFC family bucket. Today wasn't Crazy Thursday, so she bought a box of egg tarts.
"Eat." Ke Yan sniffed, "Everyone eats. Only fried food like this can keep me alive."
Well, after dinner, Liu Yue accompanied us to eat a pair of spicy wings.
She pulled out some Macau specialties from the cupboard. "Don't worry, there's plenty of high-fat, high-sugar food. It's not very healthy, but being happy is what's most important right now."
Ke Yan nodded vigorously and drank half a cup of ice cola in one gulp.
Later, she felt that Coke was not satisfying enough, and she clamored for some beer, so that she could get drunk tonight.
"Isn't she crazy?"
Wen Huiyi whispered to Liu Yue, "This time it does seem different, but I always feel like her mental state isn't right. Could it be that that scumbag did something even more irritating to her?"
Liu Yue hadn't thought about it that way before, but after hearing her say that, she suddenly felt it was very likely.
"Let's ignore that guy for now." Liu Yue scratched her head. "Should we let her drink and vent her anger, or should we let her calm down?"
Wen Huiyi was also embarrassed, and the two looked at Sang Yu.
Sang Yu thought for a moment, then pretended to accidentally knock over the cup of ice cubes on the table, and all the ice cubes fell onto Ke Yan's pants.
Under everyone's persuasion, Ke Yan went to take a shower first. This would divert her attention and give her some emotional buffer space so that she would no longer think about drinking, which she usually didn't like.
Taking advantage of this time, Liu Yue quickly took out her mobile phone, clicked on Taobao to check out and place an order.
Today's spending task was completed successfully, and she won a cashback of 60,000 yuan. It seems that she is lucky.
Liu Yue looked towards the balcony and couldn't help asking the system if it had any special props that could help Ke Yan get out of the haze of this relationship, or bring bad luck to the scumbag.
System: "Except money, I can't give you anything."
Liu Yue: ...Okay.
It wasn't time to sign in for the new day yet, so Liu Yue closed the system's floating window. Fortunately, she had curtains, otherwise it would have been quite strange if someone saw her doing this.
As expected, after taking a shower, Ke Yan stopped asking for alcohol. She cleaned up the table and stared at it in a daze.
Seeing her like this, Liu Yue felt quite distressed. She wanted to know what happened, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear of causing Ke Yan further harm.
Alas, I hope she has really come to her senses and will break up with the scumbag from now on.
**
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Liu Yue always feels that her sleep quality has improved a lot after changing her bedding.
After waking up, that depressed mood disappeared, and a beautiful day started from a refreshing morning.
Liu Yue got out of bed happily, and when she saw Ke Yan, she blinked a few times.
...If I remember correctly, she was in this position last night. She wouldn't stay awake until dawn, would she?
Fortunately, things were not as exaggerated as Liu Yue had imagined.
Ke Yan just went to bed late and got up early. Since she had nothing to do, she just sat here and continued to stare blankly.
Liu Yue: "Have you had breakfast?"
Ke Yan shook her head numbly, and when she took the Macau specialty handed to her by Liu Yue, her thanks seemed weak.
But the moment the pop-up window appeared on her phone, her eyes lit up. Then she looked at the message again, which was just @ all members of the group, and the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.
Liu Yue: "...Didn't you say you've blocked me?"
"I really blocked it."
Ke Yan tried to explain: "I just, subconsciously..."
She couldn't speak any more and could only cover her face in pain.
Liu Yue patted her shoulder, but was suddenly grabbed by her hand.
"How about we go traveling?" Ke Yan said eagerly. "I don't have any final exams anyway, so I want to leave Shenzhen and go somewhere far away. That way, even if I have another brain cramp, I won't be able to get back easily."
"Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia... Wherever you want to go, I'll treat you, or we can go find Feiran! She seems to be in Sichuan now, let's go find her and play with her."
Liu Yue was a little overwhelmed. Why did Ke Yan's thoughts suddenly jump to this?
"Calm down," she said. "With your willingness to go wherever you want, coming back will only require buying a plane ticket. It won't make a big difference."
"Besides, I haven't finished my paper yet. If the teacher gives me feedback, I'll have to revise it."
There is a possibility that it will be passed on the first draft, but Liu Yue is very self-aware and the possibility of this happening to her is zero.
Speaking of the thesis, it was like a bolt from the blue for Ke Yan.
"I haven't written it yet!" She finally remembered. "Damn it, I haven't even written the proposal yet! I haven't done anything!"
Ke Yan immediately had no time to feel sad. She hurriedly turned on the computer and checked the group messages on her phone.
Liu Yue felt a little reluctant, but still had to tell her a cruel news:
"Our class is unlucky. This year's thesis review will be stricter than in previous years, and there's a chance of random inspections within five years of graduation. If we don't pass the random inspection, our degree certificates will be in jeopardy."
Ke Yan's face turned even paler. Although Liu Yue comforted her that she didn't need to worry too much and that she would definitely catch up, she was still very anxious.
This anxiety not only came from the graduation thesis, but also from the fact that Ke Yan suddenly realized at this moment how much precious time she had wasted when she was immersed in this relationship that brought her endless pain.
She felt like crying again, but Liu Yue pushed a lot of group chats to her, and their chat pages were refreshing every second.
"These are all questionnaires for research papers," Liu Yue said. "You might find them useful."
"Thank you, Yueyue!"
Ke Yan was moved and gave her a hug. "When I finish writing the first draft, I'll treat you to a luxurious dinner!"
Liu Yue thought, let’s line up first, as she hasn’t confirmed yet what she promised to do to invite everyone in the dormitory.
Ke Yan asked her again: "What is the title of your paper?"
Liu Yue: "A Study on the Correlation between English Learning Motivation and Autonomous Learning Strategies among Non-English Major College Students: A Case Study of Shenzhen University."
——To put it simply, it is to analyze why students from other majors in Shenzhen University need to learn English and how they learn it.
Since they were English majors, there were only a few thesis topics they could choose from. Ke Yan searched online for a group and decided to write about education, also focusing on university students.
If nothing else, it's easier to find people to fill out the questionnaire.
Feeling the pressure, Ke Yan quickly devoted herself to writing her thesis, which was indeed a good way to divert her attention from her broken heart.
Sang Yu was not in the dormitory, and Wen Huiyi, who didn't have to go to work on Sunday, was lying on the bed watching TV.
By the way, she was watching Tencent Video’s opening drama of the year, and even President Ma had to call her a good employee when he came.
Liu Yue also wanted to watch this drama. Wen Huiyi said that she could log in on her tablet, and SVIP members supported watching on multiple devices at the same time, but Liu Yue said no.
She won 10,000 yuan today and didn't know how to spend it. She had to open the SVIP membership herself.
Wen Huiyi: "Then can you open it on the drama's page? It would be considered attracting new users."
Liu Yue didn't understand the word, so Wen Huiyi explained to her that Tencent Video has a best-selling list, which compares how many new members a work can bring to the platform, that is, attracting new members.
It suddenly dawned on her: “Does this relate to your KPI?”
"No, I'm not from the film and television department."
Wen Huiyi said, "If you open it here, Feiran will thank you because she is a fan of the leading actress in this drama."
Wen Huiyi told her in passing that the heroine of this drama is Qiao Yi, and she is the number one, so the performance of the drama has the greatest impact on her.
Lin Feiran likes Qiao Yi, and Qiao Yi and Xie Zhengyang had a very unpleasant experience working together, so Lin Feiran particularly dislikes Xie Zhengyang. The person who cursed Xie Zhengyang in the trending search the day before yesterday was also a fan of Qiao Yi.
Liu Yue thought to herself, "So that's how it is. No wonder Lin Feiran's resentment towards Xie Zhengyang was no less than hers and Wen Huiyi's."
"If that's the case, then I'll support it even more."
Although she had no impression of the actress Qiao Yi, her fans rushed to the front to scold Xie Zhengyang the day before yesterday! Regardless of their intentions, they were considered allies in terms of actions.
Liu Yue said, "Is it true that the longer you remain a member, the greater your contribution to attracting new members? I'll stay a member for ten years first!"
