From then on, every time Zhou Mo went to a boutique to look through posters, Han Chen would accompany her and look through them with her.
At that time, Zhou Mo's weekly pocket money was only 100 yuan. After deducting the daily food expenses, she had some left, but she invested it all in her idol's album.
The key is that those albums are not genuine.
Due to limited domestic channels, it was very difficult to buy genuine albums at that time, especially the albums released by Zhou Mo's favorite idols were not sold in mainland China, so they had to be purchased through international purchasing agents, but not everyone knew how to use international purchasing agents.
It is even more impossible for a girl of Zhou Mo's age. She can only buy crudely made pirated albums from China.
A CD costs thirty or forty yuan. If Zhou Mo buys one CD, he won’t have enough money to eat for a week.
Han Chen couldn't bear it, so he took out some money and stuffed it into her hand. Zhou Mo was very stubborn and refused to take it.
As a result, the next week, Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng went on business trips at the same time and forgot to give Zhou Mo pocket money. Zhou Mo had no money to eat, so he ran to him dejectedly to beg for help.
Han Chen felt both angry and amused.
Perhaps this is why Zhou Mo makes people both hate and love him. When he talks tough, he is really tough, and when he admits weakness, he is really weak.
He also inexplicably liked to deliberately anger her and tease her, watching her get so angry and frustrated that she had no choice but to turn around and beg him obediently.
Every time this happened, Han Chen was completely unable to resist, and he also loved this feeling.
Unconsciously, he indulged in this feeling. He held every bit of Zhou Mo's willfulness and temper in his hands and treasured them as treasures.
As long as he can coax Zhou Mo, Zhou Mo will definitely give in, and he can also enjoy Zhou Mo's gentle whispers and shy obedience after being coaxed.
Even Han Chen himself found it magical. From childhood to adulthood, he had always been spoiled by others. He was the youngest child in the family, and everyone's focus revolved around him.
He is like the center of the universe.
But when he met Zhou Mo, everything changed. He inexplicably began to revolve around Zhou Mo, and Zhou Mo became the center of the universe.
But he didn't feel awkward at all, instead he enjoyed it.
Liang Xinyun once teased him, saying that Zhou Mo was born to be his nemesis, and that he was the type who used poison to fight poison.
He had all the habits of a playboy, but he happened to meet a pampered, even spoiled girl like Zhou Mo. It was like he was given a strong medicine, and his illness was cured immediately.
But no one expected that this drastic measure would last for ten years.
Zhou Mo is still the spoiled Zhou Mo of the past, but Han Chen is no longer the pampered Han Chen of the past.
"This pair of shoes is nice," Zhou Mo said, pointing to a pair of white men's sneakers in the window.
Han Chen glanced at the price tag and said, "Over a thousand, too expensive. Why not buy you something else with that money?"
Zhou Mo smiled and looked at him gently: "You are becoming more and more stingy now."
"I'm not being stingy, I'm telling the truth. Didn't you tell me to save money? I'm not shoeless, so why would I waste money?"
"I like it," Zhou Mo didn't care what Han Chen thought.
She walked straight into the store, pointed at the pair of shoes she liked in the window and said, "Please help me get a pair of these. I want size 43."
Then he turned around and asked Han Chen, "You should wear size 43 shoes, right?"
Han Chen didn't respond and looked at her helplessly.
Zhou Mo pulled him over and took him to sit on the bench to change shoes.
"Just try it, it's really nice," Zhou Mo pulled his arm and shook it, begging him.
Han Chen couldn't stand her acting like a spoiled brat. Once she softened her attitude, his heart softened as well.
The salesperson brought the shoes as Zhou Mo requested, and Han Chen put them on resignedly as Zhou Mo expected.
He stood up and looked in front of the floor-length mirror, then asked Zhou Mo, "How is it?"
Zhou Mo smiled sweetly and gave a thumbs-up, "Looks good!"
To be honest, Zhou Mo has a pretty good eye. She picked out this pair of shoes from a whole wall of sample shoes on display in the window at first sight.
The style and color of the shoes were also to his liking.
"How do you like it? Is it comfortable?" Zhou Mo asked.
"fine."
"This pair," Zhou Mo said, "a Labor Day gift for you."
Han Chen smiled and said, "I still have a Labor Day gift."
"Yes, you are a working man, how could you not have a gift? You have worked three days' shift and it is so hard, so it is not too much to reward you."
Han Chen benefited greatly from it.
When paying, before Han Chen could even take out his phone, Zhou Mo stopped him and said, "You said it was my Labor Day gift for you. How could I ask you to pay for a gift I gave you?"
Zhou Mo scanned the code to pay.
Han Chen felt strange in his heart, "Why do I feel like I'm a gigolo? She takes me out to dinner and buys me shoes..." He felt like he was the one being cared for.
Zhou Mo snorted, "No?"
"Okay, living off a gigolo is every man's ultimate dream."
The two came out of the shoe store and walked around the mall again.
Han Chen held Zhou Mo's hand with one hand and carried the shoe box with the other. He asked, "What do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you."
"Didn't you buy me chocolate?"
"That doesn't count," Han Chen asked, "Anything else you want?"
Zhou Mo shook his head.
"You don't want anything, but you still buy me such expensive things. I feel bad."
"What's wrong with you?"
"When we go out shopping, you spend more money on me than on you. I don't look like the pillar of the family at all. Instead, I feel like I'm being supported by you."
Zhou Mo chuckled, then she restrained her expression and said deliberately in a serious tone, "This is just the beginning. When I graduate and make a lot of money, you don't have to work. You just stay at home and look beautiful. I'll make money to support the family."
Han Chen smiled bitterly, "Should I be happy or sad? Am I really going to have to live off the fat of the land for the rest of my life?"
Zhou Mo: "Why not?"
Han Chen nodded, "Yes."
The two of them walked around again, and Zhou Mo bought some small things along the way, such as earrings, hairpins, hairbands, etc. He also grabbed a few dolls from the claw machine placed nearby.
She was lucky enough to catch two out of twenty attempts.
Han Chen took the doll from Zhou Mo's hand and held it by his side.
His hands were full of things, except for a pair of shoes, the rest were small things bought by Zhou Mo.
No wonder they say that these days, money is easiest to make from women and children.
Zhou Mo said no and didn't want to buy anything, but he still bought a lot of small things here and there.
When going downstairs, I passed by a landscape pond with running water, rockery, and many small goldfish swimming in it.
Zhou Mo found it novel and ran to see it like a curious baby.
Han Chen followed her, carrying a bag full of things, like a worried parent.
Zhou Mo watched for a while, and then someone suddenly fed the fish with bread. All the fish ran to that person, and Zhou Mo lost interest instantly.
"Why don't you buy some bread too?" Han Chen whispered in her ear.
"No," Zhou Mo said, "What if I feed him too much and he suffocates?"
Who knows how much bread the fish in this pond have been fed.
"Let's go back. My uncle and the others should be here soon."
