Wednesday arrived, and I was in the mood to go out for dinner. As night approached, we strolled from north to south along the main road near the hospital entrance… In the end, we went to the noodle shop we'd eaten at before. Yesterday, the owner had cooked my noodles too salty, and I'd been bothered by it ever since. So today, I specifically brought Wednesday here to get a bowl of noodles that wasn't too salty. As soon as we entered, I had Wednesday relay my thoughts to the owner.
Zhou San is someone who doesn't watch what he eats. As soon as the noodles arrived, he poured a dish of pickled peppers into them, while I still ate a bowl of plain noodles, which I found tasteless... This really affected my mood, so I said to Zhou San rather bluntly, "San San, do you know? Plain noodles are their specialty here. It's wrong of you to eat noodles like this. You shouldn't have put pickled peppers in your noodles."
"I don't know... I'll have another bowl of vegetarian noodles then."
"No need, their portions are generous, you won't be able to finish them anyway."
"I can finish it."
As he spoke, Zhou San ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles from the owner and then said to me, "Brother, pay up."
I felt like I'd shot myself in the foot. After a long pause, I said to Zhou San, "I said that so you'd envy me for knowing how to eat noodles, not so you'd ask for another bowl... Don't you know things are expensive near the hospital? With this, I've lost another two hundred baht!"
On Wednesday, he grinned foolishly at me, but still ordered the noodles in the end. What's worse, he added pickled peppers to them... It turns out he had seen through everything all along, and I was the one who was really stupid. This reminds me of Yang Sisi, because Yang Sisi loved to use the trick of pretending to be crazy to deal with me.
...
As I walked out of the noodle shop, I still had no desire to go back to the hospital. So, under the pretext of getting familiar with the surroundings, I took Zhou San on the bus to the airport. I wanted to go to the mall, the one where Ye Zhi bought me the Rolex.
On the way, I was surprised to find that taking the bus to the airport was faster than taking a taxi. Because there were no cars blocking the bus lane, the bus traveled smoothly and arrived at the airport in less than an hour.
As I got off the bus, I said to Zhou San, who had been puzzled, "You came all this way to take care of me, I can't just leave without doing something... See that shopping mall over there? It's one of the best in Bangkok. I'll go buy you some decent clothes."
"I brought summer clothes, enough to change into and wash."
"San San, you're in your late twenties now, you should pay more attention to your quality of life... Do you know what kind of men women like the most? First of all, you have to know how to dress and be willing to spend money on yourself... I'll get you a couple of designer clothes, you should dress yourself up a bit, who knows, maybe you'll find some luck with love one day!"
“That makes sense, bro, I’ll listen to you.”
...
I said I was bringing Zhou San to buy clothes, but as soon as we entered the mall, my mind wandered to the luxury watch section. I pretended to browse around for a bit, then took Zhou San...
He arrived at the watch counter and then stopped at the Vacheron Constantin counter.
The saleswoman named Desa spotted me immediately. She smiled and walked towards me, asking warmly, "Sir, you've come to see Vacheron Constantin so soon?"
"Hmm, let me see..."
"Which one do you think looks good? I can help you choose one."
I looked up at the waitress named Desa and said to her in a low voice, "I don't know much about watches. Which watch do you think would suit her best?"
"I think she'll like anything you buy..."
"What do you mean by that?"
Do you know why I recommended Vacheron Constantin to you back then?
"have no idea."
Desa smiled and replied, "Because she's wearing a Vacheron Constantin right now, you can tell she really likes the brand... And the one she's wearing is a custom-made one from us, so none of the ones you see here are as expensive as the one she's wearing... If you really want to buy one, just go with what you can afford, or you can give her whichever one you like. What I recommend to you is definitely not as meaningful as what you choose yourself."
I nodded, then walked around the counter, finally fixing my gaze on a pink gold watch studded with diamonds. Desa carefully took it out from behind the counter, and after handing it to me, making sure I wouldn't drop it, she said, "This is from our Overseas series. The case is made of 18k pink gold, the case back is a transparent sapphire crystal, and the entire dial is covered with 84 diamonds. It's quite a design-conscious piece in this series… Oh, and it also has built-in antimagnetic properties, so it also takes practicality into account to some extent…"
I imagined Ye Zhi wearing this watch and subconsciously exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!" Then I asked Desa, "It must be very expensive!"
"Including tax, it's around 400,000."
Thai baht?
"It's RMB!"
I returned the watch to her, said "It's really beautiful," and left the counter. But I had already decided that once I made a comeback, I would definitely give this watch to Ye Zhi. I felt that this watch, both in terms of its style and its name, was very suitable for her.
...
"Brother, why are you looking at your watch if there's nothing wrong with you?"
"Just browsing, the watches here are all very cheap...why don't you want to buy one?"
Do you have Casio watches?
"Uh... I think I saw it over there just now."
Zhou San rubbed his hands together and laughed, "I need to save up some money first. The more expensive Casio watches cost several thousand!"
"That's quite expensive!"
...
I wandered around the mall for a bit, but I didn't actually buy Zhou San any designer shirts. He picked out two himself at a counter specializing in promotional T-shirts, and then gave one of them to me.
I, and the two of us changed into them right there in the store.
Walking in the mall, people kept glancing at me and Zhou San. They were probably people who could read Chinese characters, because my t-shirt had the words "Fearless" printed on the front, while Zhou San's t-shirt had "Doing All Kinds of Evil" printed on it. Mine was alright, but Zhou San's t-shirt, with its skull effect, looked particularly ferocious...
I suspect this is some cheap knock-off from Yiwu, China, but it hit Zhou San's sweet spot. He said that he was always bullied because of his kindness, and with this shirt as his blessing, he would be a wolf in sheep's clothing, and everyone would have to respect him. At the same time, he encouraged me, saying that wearing this shirt would make me fearless, so having surgery would be as easy as sprinkling water, and I didn't need to be nervous or worry too much.
Honestly, I've never seen such a naive man!
