It was not a weekend, so not many people went to the department store.
Before this, Li Fenlan knew that Chen Subai had an uncle, an aunt, and three older brothers, all of whom were powerful people in Beijing. Buying expensive things would be too expensive for him, not to mention that he would not be able to afford it, and it would not be presentable for others.
It would be better to choose some Haicheng specialties with high-end packaging, and then take them to Beijing and northern Beijing as gifts. At least they won’t be embarrassing.
Xie Yunshu took her arm and said, "Mom, why weren't you so caring last time?"
At that time, she and Lu Zhixing got married, and everything seemed to be in a hurry and even chaotic. Thinking about it now, she couldn't even remember the details clearly. It was like watching an old movie again, but the protagonist in it was not herself.
Li Fenlan glanced at her daughter and said, "It was because of mommy that I failed to protect you at that time."
It was because she didn't know people well. If she did good things for Lu Zhixing's good family background, everything would be fine.
Xie Yunshu had already let it go, and smiled coquettishly: "No, my mother is the best."
Lin Cuiping interrupted the mother-daughter warmth in a gloomy manner: "Xie Yunshu, stay by yourself for a while, Aunt Li and I will go over there to take a look."
She wanted to prepare a surprise for Xie Yunshu, but didn't want her to know.
Xie Yunshu also wanted to go to the men's clothing area to buy clothes for Shen Subai. The last time she gave him clothes, she was forced to buy them at a night market stall. She was embarrassed to let Li Fenlan and Lin Cuiping know, so she nodded: "Let's meet at the door later."
The third floor is a counter selling men's clothing. In the past two years, many foreign brands have flooded into Shanghai, and the price of clothes is getting higher and higher. According to Xie Yunshu's concept, good quality clothes are fine. When she buys clothes, she only looks at the price of ten yuan or so.
But since it was a wedding gift, she thought about it and decided to go to an expensive-looking counter and ask, "How much is this jacket?"
"One hundred and eighteen yuan, it's a Hong Kong brand, and all the big stars are wearing it!" As soon as the salesperson said this, Xie Yunshu backed out.
It's not that I don't want to, I just think it's not worth it...
When the salesperson saw that she was not interested, the smile on her face immediately disappeared: "Comrade, this is a big international brand, and the name is in English. If you can't afford it, don't ask the price!"
The salespeople here like to look down on people, and Xie Yunshu has long been accustomed to it. She is not angry and goes to another counter to look at clothes.
The salesperson curled his lips and rolled his eyes: "The clothes over there are more expensive. If you want to buy cheap goods, go to the east side. The jackets over there are only a dozen yuan each."
In fact, a jacket that costs more than ten yuan is not cheap. Ordinary people have to think for a long time before buying such a piece of clothing. However, this is a department store after all, and the clothes in the counters are all branded, so the prices are naturally high.
Xie Yunshu's eyes were attracted by a black jacket. She looked at the brand and saw the word "unique" written on it. The girl who sold unique clothes also knew her: "You are our spokesperson, right? Our spokespersons can get 20% off on clothes. Do you want to buy some?"
It is a domestic high-end brand and the price is not cheap. It still costs more than 100 yuan after the discount. But this time Xie Yunshu did not hesitate and paid directly.
The waiter who was selling Hong Kong brand products across the street was furious and muttered, "You don't know the goods."
Xie Yunshu snorted coldly: "A bat with chicken feathers stuck on its body, it really doesn't know what kind of bird it is!"
She learned these swear words from Lin Cuiping!
The waitress blushed, but she didn't dare to argue with the customer. After all, the manager had taught them that Western countries all require customers to be God...
Xie Yunshu turned to the east again, intending to pick out two more shirts, but when he looked up, he met the eyes of someone.
Lu Zhixing seemed to have lost some weight. He saw Xie Yunshu was stunned for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Yunshu..."
When Xie Yunshu saw him again, she actually felt like a stranger. All the love, hate, and sorrow seemed to have passed. She just nodded indifferently without even a smile.
Neither of them spoke again, but Xie Yunshu was no longer interested in buying clothes, so he turned around and left.
Lu Zhixing curled his fingers together, and took two steps forward to see the silver wedding ring on his ring finger: "I heard that you are engaged to him."
Xie Yunshu paused for a moment and said, "Lu Zhixing, be a good doctor in the future."
After saying this, she had no intention of turning back to look at him. She was going to try another counter. It was not right for the two of them to say bad things to each other or to laugh it off.
There were still bloodshot in Lu Zhixing's eyes. He stopped chasing her and said softly, "Yunshu, goodbye."
It happened in a flash.
Suddenly someone in the sparsely populated building shouted, "There's a fire on the first floor! Run!"
Department store, fire on the first floor...
Xie Yunshu's heart suddenly shrank. The ending of the dream was also a fire, and she died in the sea of fire...
"Mom, Lin Cuiping!" She suddenly woke up and wanted to run towards the first floor.
The building was in chaos. Fortunately, there were not many customers that day, and most of those who escaped were salesmen. The smoke on the first floor had already spread. This fire came suddenly and violently.
"Run to the rooftop!" Lu Zhixing grabbed her hand and said calmly, "Yun Shu, trust me. I've practiced this many times in the hospital."
The department store has only three floors, and the fire source is on the first floor. The only chance of escape is to run upstairs.
Xie Yunshu pushed him away: “But my mother is on the first floor, she is on the first floor!”
Lu Zhixing took a deep breath: "Mom...Aunt Li and Lin Cuiping are both outside the department store. I saw them when I went upstairs. They are not in danger."
Xie Yunshu managed to calm down, turned around and ran towards the rooftop, and shouted to the panicked salesperson: "Everyone, don't go downstairs, run to the rooftop and wait for the firefighters to come and rescue you!"
After she started working in the construction industry, Shen Subai told her more than once how to deal with various fire safety emergencies. If she hadn't been in a hurry to save Li Fenlan just now, she wouldn't have been so panicked.
Everyone ran towards the rooftop, but the fire spread quickly, and people on the second floor also ran up, and suddenly the emergency staircase became crowded.
There is no humility when it comes to escaping, and no one wants to be burned to death by the fire.
Xie Yunshu gritted her teeth and ran to the rooftop, and Lu Zhixing followed behind her, separating the people who tried to squeeze in. But there were too many people, and he didn't have enough strength, so he was squeezed and almost fell there.
I don’t know if it was because the fire was too big and there were too many people, but the chandelier hanging above began to loosen and then fell straight towards the crowd.
"Yun Shu!" Lu Zhixing groaned, and he seemed to have finally burst out with tremendous strength.
This chandelier was specially shipped from abroad by the department store. The iron frame was covered with plastic crystals. If it fell down, it would almost kill someone. Although Lu Zhixing reacted quickly, he only avoided hitting his head.
Blood flowed from his shoulder. Xie Yunshu frowned, not caring about his injury: "Go to the roof!"
As the pain came, Lu Zhixing pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He thought of that absurd yet real dream. In the thick smoke and fire, he left with Zhou Xinyue without looking back.
Not this time, he won't make the same mistake again.
It's just that it hurts a little too much...
The firefighters had already arrived, and the fire downstairs was not that big. Lu Zhixing looked down and saw Xie Yunshu holding his hand, and his vision began to blur...
