Chapter 1355 The Miss Eloped for Love (3)
Rong Xi's face froze. He obviously didn't expect that his invincible trick in front of Mi Shichu would fail. But he couldn't show any unhappiness, so he quickly recovered, put on a smile again, looked at Mi Shichu affectionately, and said, "Okay, I'll go pay the bill now, you wait here for me."
Rong Xi walked very slowly, probably thinking that Mi Shichu would suddenly "considerately" call him and ask him to pay the bill himself. However, Mi Shichu just stood there, quietly looking at his back, without saying a word.
No matter how slowly he walked, it took him less than two minutes to get to the front desk. When the waiter handed him the bill, he saw that it was enough to pay for a month, and he felt extremely distressed. This restaurant was originally a high-cost restaurant, and he thought that Mi Shichu would pay the bill, so he didn't hold back at all and ordered whatever he wanted. He certainly didn't feel bad about spending Mi Shichu's money. In addition, he also ordered a bottle of very expensive wine...
Now, he wished he could go back to the time when he ordered the drinks and ask himself to stop. Even though he felt bad, he had to pay the bill because he didn't want to lose face in front of Mi Shichu, and he didn't want her to find out that he was so stingy.
After paying the money, Rong Xi put on a gentle smile again and walked towards Mi Shichu gracefully, thinking about what excuse he could use to get the money back from Mi Shichu. Say that his mother was sick and he had no money to treat her? No, he had used this excuse before; say that it was his sister's birthday and her only wish was a pair of sneakers. Of course, the sneakers had to be a famous brand, the kind that cost thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. He then pretended to be embarrassed and let Mi Shichu take the initiative to ask...
Having made up his mind, Rong Xi quickly put it into action.
After coming out of the restaurant, the two of them walked slowly along the street to digest their food. Just as Mi Shichu was about to find an excuse to leave, Rongxi started performing.
He first took out his mobile phone, took a look at it, then frowned tightly, looking very embarrassed.
He maintained this expression for several minutes, waiting for Mi Shichu to notice and ask. However, he waited for a long time, until his face was stiff, and Mi Shichu acted as if he didn't see it and didn't ask him at all. So he couldn't say the excuse naturally.
Rong Xi was very anxious. Seeing that this embarrassed expression could not attract Mi Shichu's attention, he looked at Mi Shichu as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mi Shichu silently admired his performance for several minutes. Finally, when he had enough, he asked the question that Rong Xi had been waiting for for a long time: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen to embarrass you?"
Rong Xi heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, but she showed a helpless expression on her face. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. My sister who is in high school is having a birthday soon. She wants a pair of brand-name sports shoes as a gift. Those shoes are too expensive. We can't afford them. My sister is really ignorant..."
Rong Xi shouted in anticipation: Tell me quickly that you will pay for it for me!
However, Mi Shichu nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. Your sister is indeed a little immature. I heard you say that your family conditions are not very good. Your father works away from home and your mother is a farmer. They can't earn more than ten thousand yuan a year. Yet your sister wants brand-name sports shoes. This is a bit inconsiderate of your parents."
Rong Xi's face froze immediately. Hearing these words that were completely contrary to his expectations, he almost couldn't maintain his expression. He took a deep breath and had to smile stiffly and said, "You are right, but it is understandable. High school students nowadays are very competitive. My sister has never worn any brand-name clothes and shoes before, and is often looked down upon by classmates. This time she couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked for brand-name sports shoes on her birthday. Teenagers nowadays have very strong self-esteem. I'm afraid if her birthday wish is not fulfilled, I don't know what irreversible things she will do..."
Rong Xi had a worried look on his face, as if he was a good brother who cared deeply about his sister. However, no one knew that he was just using his sister as an excuse to make money from Mi Shichu.
Mi Shichu had seen through his tricks long ago, but she just didn't want him to get what he wanted, so when she heard what he said, she said sympathetically: "Then as his brother, you should work hard to buy her brand-name sports shoes."
Rong Xi was very disappointed that Mi Shichu still didn't understand his implication. At this time, he hated her innocence and complained in his heart that she had no emotional intelligence at all. Shouldn't she take the initiative at this time and ask if she would pay for this brand-name sneakers? Anyway, this little money is nothing to her...
He was disappointed, but Mi Shichu didn't ask for money, so he was helpless. Finally, he had to take the initiative and said to Mi Shichu in an embarrassed manner, "Shichu, can you lend me some money? My sister finally made a birthday wish, and I don't want to disappoint her."
Mi Shichu said to him seriously, "Rongxi, your idea is wrong, because your sister's request is very unrealistic. You should teach her to be down-to-earth and not be greedy and spend money on things she can't afford. Now you want to fulfill her wish, which will easily encourage her vanity, which is not conducive to her growth. As her brother, you should persuade her, how can you just follow her?"
Rong Xi's face turned red at Mi Shichu's righteous words, and he almost got angry out of shame, but fortunately he still had his reason and knew that he could not refute her, but had to agree with her. However, if he agreed with her, he would not be able to achieve his goal, which made Rong Xi speechless.
Mi Shichu said to himself: "It seems that you agree with what I said? I said, you must be a good brother, persuade your sister well, she will come to her senses."
Rong Xi had no choice but to smile awkwardly with a stiff face, but he felt as if he was holding his breath in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that this excuse wouldn't make Mi Shichu give him money, Rong Xi no longer wanted to accompany this young lady, so he quickly found an excuse to say goodbye to Mi Shichu.
Mi Shichu was eager for him to leave early, so he saw him off happily.
When she got home, Mi's father was already waiting for her in the living room. Seeing her come back with a happy face, he said unhappily, "Did you go on a date with Rong Xi again? I told you he was not a good guy, why didn't you believe it at all?"
"Dad, I believe it this time. He is indeed not a good person." Mi Shichu said.
"What?" Dad Mi couldn't believe his ears. His daughter actually came to her senses and no longer blindly believed everything that Phoenix man said?
