Chapter 263 Contentment
After the meal, Wen Yan paid the bill. The two did not go for a drive immediately, but instead wandered around the mall where the hot pot restaurant was located. Of course, the main reason was that they were too full.
The two of them supported each other as they walked out of the hot pot restaurant. She felt like the food had reached her throat and was afraid that she would vomit if she didn't digest it.
The two of them walked around and were not interested in the clothes in the mall. Wen Yan turned around and saw a fancy store upstairs and pointed at Dong Yuan.
The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
According to her usual experience, Dong Yuan went upstairs and exchanged 200 yuan worth of game coins, one yuan each, then walked through the crowd and went straight to the claw machine.
He turned around and walked to a little brown bear, pointing at it gently, "This is it, you go first and I'll go first."
"You come first, let's see if your skills have regressed in the past few years since you went abroad." Dong Yuan held the game coins and looked at Wen Yan with a provocative look on her face.
Who is afraid of who!
Wen Yan grabbed a dozen coins and threw them all in. She didn't know how many rounds she could play. Anyway, there were three coins in each round. She didn't believe that she wouldn't catch any after so many rounds!
Aim at the target, look in all directions, east, south, west, and north, um, it's almost there, press it.
The two men fixed their eyes on the claws and caught it!
Before Wen Yan could get excited, his claws loosened.
Wen Yan: “…”
"That was a mistake, try again!"
“Come again!”
"There must be something wrong with the machine! I'll give it a shake, it's sure to work."
Dong Yuan saw that the previous coin was finished, and Wen Yan's face was also wooden. "Hahahahahaha, this is so funny, little rubbish, let me show you what skill is!"
Wen Yan looked at her with a resentful look, gave her a seat, and said, "You come."
Maybe luck had arrived. Dong Yuan grabbed the little bear and when she took it out from underneath, she proudly handed it to Wen Yan, "Here, let you touch it."
Wen Yan: “…”
"Is it possible that this is a matter of probability? The boss set up the machine so that when it reaches your claws, they tighten a little." In any case, it can't be a problem with her technique!
Seeing her stubborn expression, Dong Yuan laughed unceremoniously, "Oh, weren't you always the worst at catching dolls? 100 yuan coins, and you caught one?"
If you want to talk about people who are weak and have a strong addiction, she is the one to blame. Wen Yan, who is very good at everything, was defeated by the claw machine. The four of us in the dormitory would be unable to move every time we encountered the claw machine. Then our rich lady Wen would exchange 200 yuan coins every time and everyone would play together. The coins were cheaper in the past than now, two coins for one yuan.
But every time, Wen Yan would buy an extra 100 yuan worth of coins for herself, because she couldn't get a single 200 yuan coin when four people were sharing it. This happened without exception. Sometimes, she would even spend money to buy dolls.
"How about I buy you another 100 coins later?" He said with a hint of teasing, looking at her with a smile. In the past, Wen Yan would pay for activities like this "throwing money" because the three of them in the dormitory didn't have much living expenses. Each time, it wasn't much, just two or three hundred. In fact, Dong Yuan had always known about it, and it was actually just to take care of her.
After all, Yuyan and Anyang don't really need these one or two hundred dollars. Everyone takes good care of her. She is lucky to have gained such a friendship when she is young and carefree.
Dong Yuan looked at Wen Yan with her mouth puffed up, then looked at the machine with disdain, "Then I'll change the machine, this is just a matter of luck."
He stubbornly pulled Dong Yuan to the other two machines and said, "Let's start!"
The result was that Wen Yan was holding a red panda doll that he had spent a full hundred coins to catch.
It's really no surprise.
He smiled and joked, "We're lucky today. We were able to catch one. I thought we had to exchange 100 coins to catch one today."
He glared at her unhappily, then poked the doll in his hand and looked at Dong Yuan next to him, who was holding the bag of dolls she had asked the merchant for.
Dong Yuan deliberately moved closer to her to show off.
"Come on, let's go for a ride. Catching dolls isn't fun at all."
She quickly grabbed Dong Yuan's hand and walked forward. Humph, she would open a store specifically for this purpose and maximize the probability, and she would go there every day to grab them!
There are a lot of cars in Xinyang at night, but Wen Yan used to take the four people in the dormitory for a ride. Especially today, Wen Yan drove a sports car, folded up the roof of the car, turned on the car music, and was just playing for the atmosphere.
The two sisters even sent a video to the other two people, who were extremely envious.
They drove around the Second Ring Road and also took a turn on the highway. The wind was strong but it was very refreshing. The two of them didn't care about other people's eyes. Their hair was blown into a mess and they shouted loudly in the car. They were even stopped by the traffic police in the city and tested for alcohol because the traffic police originally thought that the two of them seemed a little mentally unwell, as if they were drunk and crazy.
After the test, I found no alcohol, but I couldn't help but remind him, "Drive carefully, it's easy to get into an accident if you get too high."
You should know that before the car was stopped, the music was still playing, "The vast horizon is my love ~ Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills."
The passenger in the passenger seat would occasionally say, "Hey!"
When the two were released, their faces were a little red. They looked at each other and couldn't be serious for a moment. They both burst out laughing, "Hahahaha"
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Wen Yan sent Dong Yuan to the gate of the community.
"Are you sure you don't want to come up with me? We can sleep together and have a sisterly night chat." Dong Yuan hugged Wen Yan's arm to keep her. They used to often switch beds in the dormitory, especially Chen Yuyan who loved to get into Wen Yan's bed.
"No, I didn't bring any change of clothes, and I still smell like hot pot. Let's go back. You're on vacation now anyway, and you don't have anything to do after the college entrance examination. We can make appointments often this summer, or we can go to Anyang to play."
Dong Yuan had just sent off a group of college entrance examination candidates, and it was time for her to rest, not only physically but also mentally.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you go home and send me a message. I'll stay home for a few days, and then we'll talk about where to go. Anyang told me last time that he would introduce me to a handsome guy."
"Okay, baby, let's go."
Watching the car slowly drive away into the distance and gradually disappear from view, Dong Yuan slowly walked towards home.
She opened the door and put on furry slippers. Although it was summer, the furry texture made her not feel hot at all.
I filled the bathroom with water and put a bath ball with the scent of gardenia into the bathtub. My body quickly relaxed under the soothing effect of the hot water.
When she bought this house, she emptied out all her savings. Now she has to pay a mortgage of more than 3,000 yuan every month, which only takes up a small part of her monthly income. As a teacher, she receives class teacher subsidies and bonuses. Her school is a provincial famous school, and her monthly income is nearly 10,000 yuan. However, she has good benefits, a respected profession, and high social security and provident fund.
On average, I earn over 30,000 yuan a month from the foreign teaching platform, and I also take on some extra translation orders from time to time. After deducting living expenses and mortgage payments, I give my parents 3,000 yuan a month, and I can still save about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan for myself.
Since graduation, she has saved some money. Her home is close to the school, so she has no need to buy a car. If she needs a car, Wen Yan will let her drive it directly to her garage.
Dong Yuan feels that she is very satisfied with her current life, and the two most important words people should learn are "contentment".
Give yourself the best within a reasonable range, and don't dream about things that don't belong to you. Just like Wen Yan's sports car today, she will be able to afford it one day, but there is no need. If she really wants it, she can drive any car in Wen Yan's garage.
Looking at the little remaining body essence oil next to the bathtub, she thought, "Buy! I'll place an order later. Buy a better one than this one, one that costs a few thousand yuan. She can afford it."
