Last day
"Sister Xiaoyu!" After seeing the figure, Jian Jianan rushed forward without hesitation.
At this time, the park is about to close. There is a person sitting alone on the roadside. His age and figure are suitable. There is a 99% chance that he is Cai Chengyu.
Sure enough, the man turned around in confusion when he heard the voice, and it was Cai Chengyu's face!
Jian Jianan found the person and was finally not as anxious as before. She breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the mind to talk to Cai Chengyu.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why are you here? You don't even know how heartbroken and anxious Aunt Cai was just now trying to find you. Since you disappeared, she's probably searched most of the campus. When I saw her just now, she even had tears on her face!"
Cai Chengyu raised her face in panic, a look of sadness on her face, her voice almost changing tone: "What! My mother is looking for me!"
Jian Jianan frowned and looked serious. "Aunt Cai not only looked for you, she was even very anxious. She's been looking for you for a very long time! You have no idea how anxious she was when she found out you were missing. Aunt Cai even asked us to come look for you together. Now everyone in the group knows you're missing, and everyone is looking for you!"
Cai Chengyu was so shocked that she couldn't even stop crying. "What? There's actually such a thing!"
She spoke in a panicked tone, her voice weak and defensive, "I, I just accidentally fell down here, and I couldn't get up or walk for a while, so I just wanted to rest for a while, so I sat here for a while."
At this point, she seemed to have regained her confidence and her usual calmness. She reached out to tuck a strand of hair that was messed up by the sea breeze behind her ear, but forgot to wipe the tears from her face. "Mom, really, why is there such a big fuss? I'm already a grown-up. I celebrated my 18th birthday ceremony with you in January this year. I just got home a little late, and she's so worried. I thought something happened while I wasn't aware of it!"
Jian Jianan silently watched her forced smile. He knew at a glance that something had happened to Cai Chengyu that he didn't know about. Even the corners of her mouth that she tried hard to raise were forced.
Jian Jianan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Your mother has been looking for you for so long, and even I, an outsider who doesn't want to do anything, feel distressed. As her daughter, don't you have anything else to say?"
Are you still going to hide it for him?
When Cai Chengyu heard Jian Jianan mention his mother, his tone suddenly became anxious. He didn't even bother to hide his smile. He asked anxiously, "My mother has been looking for me. How is she? Did she fall or get hurt?"
Jian Jianan sighed, "That's not the case." But before Cai Chengyu could even catch her breath, she continued, "But who can say that the damage to one's heart is less serious than the damage to one's body?"
Cai Chengyu was extremely sad. She bit her fingers and kept muttering, "Mom, Mom, I was really wrong this time. I didn't mean to make you sad."
When I found Cai Chengyu just now, she refused to tell me the truth of the matter. She just evaded the issue by saying that she accidentally fell down the stairs and it was nothing serious. Ultimately, it was her own carelessness and she couldn't blame anyone else.
Cai Chengyu looks so miserable. Which mother wouldn't feel distressed seeing this?
However, when Jian Jianan thought about the scene of Gao Liuqi being with her half an hour ago, she felt that there must be something else going on, something that Cai Chengyu was even hiding from herself.
But why? Jian Jianan clearly knows the relationship between Cai Chengyu and Gao Liuqi. Is there any need for her to hide it from herself?
Perhaps it was because Jian Jianan mentioned his mother that touched her softest part of the heart. Cai Chengyu didn't care to hide anything anymore. The next second she threw herself into Jian Jianan's arms and burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu! Wuwuwu! This is so embarrassing, I can't even face telling you! You told me in the car this morning that it's best not to have a tryst with him in the park, but I refused to listen and insisted on finding a time to meet him secretly, which ultimately led to this incident. Wuwuwu, this is so embarrassing!"
The "he" in Cai Chengyu's words obviously refers to "Gao Liuqi", but Jian Jianan doesn't know what embarrassing thing happened between these two people.
In the next few minutes, Jian Jianan finally understood the whole story from Cai Chengyu's intermittent sobbing.
"Gao Liuqi and I both found a chance to get away from our respective mothers and secretly meet up."
It was easy for her. She just had to tell Cai Duoyan that she wanted to go and see it by herself. The two of them would be free for a while and then meet again at the agreed time. Cai Duoyan wanted to see more of the aquarium anyway, and since her daughter was no longer a child, she let her daughter go.
Gao Liuqi's side was a little difficult. His mother Gao Chunlai had such a strong desire for control that it would be strange for her to let him go easily. In the end, Gao Liuqi rarely put on a gloomy face and insisted on going to the park alone to stroll around and play. Gao Chunlai almost got angry before she let him go.
So, God helps those who work hard. The two young lovers who have suffered from lovesickness finally met secretly, expressed their longing for each other as they had not had time to see each other in the past few days, and talked about their heartfelt feelings.
"We were quite cautious when we first met. I took him to the less crowded places you told me about, and we hid here and there along the way, not daring to go to crowded places."
"But it's not fun to keep doing this all the time. Later, when we saw that it was getting late and there were fewer people in the dark, we finally plucked up the courage to go play on some amusement equipment together." After all, they are a couple, so they have to do things that only couples can do, otherwise they would be unworthy of the name of boyfriend and girlfriend!
Jian Jianan nodded. Now they matched. She and her brother were right when they saw them at the Ferris wheel. They were indeed the two young lovers!
But as the saying goes, truth will come out sooner or later.
Cai Chengyu and Gao Liuqi were contentedly wandering around the park like they were fighting a guerrilla war. They would play for a while and then go to the next attraction. They didn't dare to have a good time. They didn't dare to stay too long at each attraction, for fear that they would meet other people if they stayed too long.
After all, there were only 25 people in the group, and the environment where strangers made up the majority of the group still made them feel safe. Their style of behavior also changed from being cautious in school to being bolder.
"We got off the Ferris wheel, and it was more than half an hour before the meeting time. We had planned to walk back slowly, but we finally had this chance to be together, just the two of us, and we didn't want to be apart at all."
"I suddenly had an idea. I remembered the map in the tourist brochure. There's a seaside promenade inside the Ocean Park. I thought it would be nice to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset. It would be a nice parting scenery for us. That way, even when we go back, I'll have this beautiful memory deep in my heart."
Jian Jianan sighed. She had done research on this place before, but did not recommend it to Cai Chengyu. Of course, there was a reason for this. This place was too remote, far away from the Ocean Park, and almost on the edge of the park. It was not safe at all.
Jian Jianan asked: "Did you encounter an accident on this seaside promenade?" There was no reason. According to Cai Chengyu, Gao Liuqi had been with her the whole time, so how could he appear at the gathering place and stand with his mother as if nothing had happened.
It would have been better if Jian Jianan didn't ask, but once he asked, it seemed like he had touched Cai Chengyu's wound and triggered her sad memories.
"That's where it all went wrong!" Cai Chengyu's sobs, which had finally stopped, began to linger again. "While strolling along the promenade, we were momentarily entranced. The setting sun was so beautiful, we couldn't help ourselves and just..."
Jian Jianan's eyes were as big as copper bells, and for a moment he couldn't control his voice. He rarely lost his composure and asked, "Did you kiss?"
The last word was broken.
Cai Chengyu nodded while crying: "No! We haven't kissed yet! Someone came to find us!" Why do you sound so regretful?
Jian Jianan was shocked. Could it be Gao...
Cai Chengyu's next words confirmed his guess.
"It's Gao Liuqi's mother, Gao Chunlai! I don't know how she found our place. We actually let go of each other when we heard the footsteps of someone approaching. After all, it's always better to be cautious. Even if it was a stranger who came over, it would be embarrassing to be caught!"
"But who would have thought that the person coming here would be Gao Chunlai!"
"I don't know how she found her way here. We've been walking all the way here, and there aren't many strangers, let alone group members we know! Could she have secretly followed her son here?"
Jian Jianan frowned and thought. She looked at the bottom step of the high stairs where Cai Chengyu was sitting, and the answer gradually came to her mind.
"We were standing on a high staircase, about to kiss, but Gao Chunlai interrupted us. I was so shocked that I accidentally rolled down the stairs."
What she didn't mention to Jian Jianan was that Gao Liuqi's first reaction when he saw his mother coming was to shake her hand away.
It was obvious that the two of them were tightly pressed together just a second ago, but as soon as Gao Chunlai appeared, Gao Liuqi avoided him like a snake or scorpion, as if he was cutting off something dirty. This behavior immediately made Cai Chengyu feel cold. Since Gao Liuqi let her go, she didn't want to get entangled with him any more.
But she completely forgot that she was standing on the stairs, the highest step at that, and she was still standing on the inside. The two people suddenly separated, and the forces were interacting with each other. She was accidentally pushed down by Gao Liuqi!
She rolled down all the way, and the injuries she suffered during the process were so frightening that she didn't even want to recall the memories again!
If only it were this, it would be fine.
But Cai Chengyu felt that she would never forget what happened next.
"I fell to the bottom, and I was dizzy and didn't react for a while. I only vaguely saw two figures standing at the top of the stairs, looking down at me."
"I can still remember the look on Aunt Gao's face. It was like she was looking at the filthiest thing in the world. Her eyes were filled with disgust and hatred."
She recalled.
Gao Liuqi was very anxious when he saw her fall, and even wanted to walk down and help her up.
But Gao Chunlai stopped Gao Liuqi and asked, "How did you two meet?"
It was these words that seemed to have extraordinary magic power, causing Gao Liuqi to immediately stop all his actions.
Neither woman said anything, but waited with bated breath for Gao Liuqi's answer.
After what seemed like a century, Gao Liu, the wizard, calmly said, "We just met by chance. We probably bumped into each other while walking."
Anyone with common sense knew how bad his answer was. Cai Chengyu was very panicked at the time and sat on the ground in despair waiting for Gao Chunlai's questioning and rebuttal. However, contrary to his expectations, Gao Chunlai did not expose Gao Liuqi's lie, which was obviously wrong as soon as he heard it and the truth was thinner than a paper-pasted window.
She nodded neatly: "Is that so? Fine then, since you met by chance, I guess there's nothing else going on between you, so go back to your homes and find your mothers!" When Gao Chunlai said the last sentence, his voice suddenly rose, revealing a hint of his true emotions.
Gao Liuqi was extremely anxious. His panicked gaze kept shifting between his mother in front of him and Cai Chengyu who had fallen down the stairs, as if he was thinking about whether he should listen to his mother or not.
Gao Liuqi hesitated and said, "Well, what about her? Should we go over and help her? Or maybe notify Aunt Cai?"
Gao Chunlai glanced at Cai Chengyu with contempt, as if she had just noticed that a girl had fallen down the stairs. She sneered: "Help her? What's the need? Her mother isn't dead yet, why are you helping her?" Gao Chunlai emphasized the word "die" in her words, like a curse.
Cai Chengyu looked at Gao Liuqi with hopeful eyes, with encouragement in his eyes, as if saying, Gao Liuqi, be brave for once, even if you ignore the relationship between us, when you see a stranger fall in front of you, are you going to just ignore it?
Seeing Gao Liuqi's hesitation, Gao Chunlai gradually became impatient. He stepped forward and directly pulled his son's hand, saying in a commanding tone: "Go back, come back with me immediately, and don't worry about anyone else!"
She said viciously, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"
Before leaving, Gao Chunlai turned around and looked at the embarrassed Cai Chengyu with disgust: "Look, you are just like your mother, you are simply cast in the same mold. It's not enough that your mother seduced my lover and destroyed my family. Now she is harming my son. I beg you, please let my son go! You two, please leave our family alone!"
Gao Chunlai did not want an answer from Cai Chengyu. After saying this, he took his son and left. Only Cai Chengyu was left sitting there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then, Jian Jianan knew what happened next. She fell to the ground and injured her legs and feet, unable to move freely. Cai Duoyan was worried and went to look for her daughter alone. Jian Yangping mobilized all the group members to find Cai Chengyu, but his own daughter found Cai Chengyu first.
After listening to Cai Chengyu's story, Jian Jianan was silent for a moment, then turned with her to look at the sea which was already completely dark.
After a long while, Jian Jianan asked, "So what do you think? Will you still be with Gao Liuqi after you return?"
Jian Jianan's words seemed to have touched Cai Chengyu's trigger. The fire in her body suddenly erupted, and her voice rose eight degrees: "Being with him? No, absolutely impossible! Don't even think about it!"
"He resolutely abandoned me when I needed his help the most today, showing no sense of responsibility or willingness to step up. He didn't even consider how a little girl like me, who just broke her leg, could continue to function in such a dark and deserted environment. Since he made this decision, I will make mine too. There's no way we can reconcile like before. Anyway, I'm going to be a senior in high school soon, so I'll just study hard next semester and say goodbye to him!"
These were the most decisive words Jian Jianan had ever heard from Cai Chengyu. The fact that Gao Liuqi could force her to this point showed that this incident had dealt a huge blow to her.
Cai Chengyu continued to cry, "I didn't want it to end like this! This is my first time in love. I've read so many comic books, which gave me such beautiful expectations for love. But today I found out that the books are full of lies. I'm going to burn all those books when I get home!"
Jian Jianan remained silent. She felt that Cai Chengyu didn't really like Gao Liuqi, but he was in the high-pressure stage of the college entrance examination, and the school environment was so closed that the issue of premature love was strictly controlled and taken particularly seriously.
But students are like this, the more taboo something is, the more exciting it is to them, so they have to break school rules just to give it a try, and they call it the pursuit of freedom and love.
Jian Jianan thought about it and tried to comfort Cai Chengyu from a different perspective, saying, "Actually, Sister Xiaoyu, this matter isn't that bad. If you ask me, it's a blessing in disguise!"
When Jian Jianan said this, Cai Chengyu's curiosity was aroused. She wiped her tears and said, "What did you say? How did it turn out to be a blessing in disguise for me?"
Jian Jianan spoke to her slowly, word by word, "Of course it's a blessing! You've experienced this incident, and you've seen Gao Liuqi's true character. He has no sense of responsibility. Just because he didn't want to expose his relationship with you and get scolded by your mother, he abandoned you. Let me ask you, even if a strange girl fell in front of anyone, no one would ignore her and not save her, right? Gao Liuqi's behavior is not just about watching her die and not saving her. When your mother was so anxious just now, when the whole group was worried about your disappearance, he knew your whereabouts but kept silent and clenched his teeth. This is no longer just the word 'irresponsible', this is simply a low moral character and a corrupt person!"
"You've seen Gao Liuqi clearly through this incident, and destroyed all the beautiful images you had of him before. Now you don't have to worry about experiencing this kind of thing again, right? And, weren't you always worried that your relationship would be known to your mother and cause a fight? Look, now you don't have to worry about that anymore."
Compared to a broken heart, Cai Chengyu's situation is more like the result of a breach of trust. If I have to say more, it is also because of the loss of face.
Cai Chengyu was stunned. She didn't expect Jian Jianan to think this way. Her first reaction was to laugh, but then she thought about what Jian Jianan said and suddenly felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
Cai Chengyu murmured to himself: "Nannan, you are so eloquent, I am almost convinced by you."
Jian Jianan said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm good at speaking. Don't you see where I've practiced it? But Gao Liuqi, that bad guy, has nothing to do with my eloquence. I'm just describing the facts truthfully, without any embellishment."
Cai Chengyu was amused. She sighed deeply and felt that the experience of the day was as up and down as a roller coaster. After returning to the hotel, she still needed to take a while to recover before she could return to normal.
Seeing that Cai Chengyu had calmed down, Jian Jianan asked her, "Why don't we go back first, Sister Xiaoyu? Everyone in the group is worried about you. If your knee still hurts and you can't walk, I can support you. The sooner we go back, the sooner you can rest. The people in the group won't have to worry about us anymore. The most important thing is your mother. Parents are so caring. I don't want my mother to worry about me either."
Cai Chengyu was persuaded by Jian Jianan. It was already very late, and if she didn't go back, she didn't know how worried her mother would be.
"Okay, I've just sat for a while and I'm almost recovered, but my right leg still hurts a little. Can you help support my shoulders?"
Jian Jianan immediately agreed and helped Cai Chengyu limp back to the gate of Ocean Park.
As soon as Cai Chengyu appeared, the members of the first group reacted immediately.
Someone with sharp eyes spotted Cai Chengyu's figure immediately and shouted, "Xiaoyu is back, Xiaoyu is back, Cai Chengyu is back, no need to look for her anymore!"
Cai Duoyan was sitting on a flower bed not far away with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were blank and she didn't know what she was thinking. But when she heard her daughter's voice, she immediately came to her senses and rushed to her daughter to check on Cai Chengyu's current situation.
Cai Chengyu forced a smile, "Mom, I'm fine. I just fell down accidentally. I just rested there for a while and I'm feeling much better now. Luckily, Nan Nan found me and I was able to walk back with her help. I'll just go back to the hotel and rest. Don't worry too much."
Cai Duoyan didn't hear what her daughter meant at all. She pulled her up and looked her up and down, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was only slightly scratched.
Tour guide Xiao Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene, and quickly called everyone to the bus. "It's good that they found it, it's good that they found it. No one wants something like this to happen, and the child didn't do it on purpose. As long as they're found, everything is fine. We'll take everyone back to the hotel to have a good rest."
The first group was not just a simple tour group, but was the first independent travel group from Hong Kong to the Mainland, which was of great significance.
God knows how panicked Xiao Zhou was when he learned the news that Cai Chengyu had disappeared inexplicably. Fortunately, Xiao Zhou took a deep breath and exhaled. Fortunately, Cai Chengyu was finally found and returned safely to his family.
After learning the truth about Cai Chengyu's disappearance, Jian Jianan's dislike for Gao Chunlai and Gao Liuqi intensified. Even after returning to her parents' side, she kept observing their movements from the corner of her eye. She discovered that Gao Liuqi still had some sense of shame, but it wasn't necessarily shame, just some guilt—a little, but not much.
When Cai Chengyu came back, he breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Chunlai just curled her lips to show that she was dissatisfied with the outcome of the matter.
Jian Jianan keenly noticed all their little actions and thoughts.
The bus returned to the hotel smoothly. Jian Jianan looked in the direction of Cai Chengyu worriedly, but she had already returned to the room with the support of her mother Cai Duoyan.
Alas, Jian Jianan sighed in his heart. He didn't know whether Sister Cai Chengyu would be able to recover tomorrow after what happened today, and what her mood would be like.
Originally, Jian Jianan wanted to observe more, but she didn't have the chance anymore. Because the eight-day free travel in Hong Kong has come to an end, and tomorrow is the last day. By then, everyone will go back to their own homes and see their own mothers. Jian Jianan will definitely not be able to stay with Cai Chengyu to comfort her.
I hope that after returning home, Sister Xiaoyu can feel the warmth of her family and slowly recover. But please don’t let it affect such an important life event as the college entrance examination!
Otherwise, even if Gao Liuqi was tied to the pillar of shame and whipped for 9981 days, he would not be able to vent his anger.
Words are pale, and Jian Jianan did not expect that he could pull Cai Chengyu, who had suffered a severe blow, out of the quagmire of broken love with just a few words. Now he could only hope that time would heal everything.
Time flies, and the independent tour group's journey is coming to an end. In fact, there is nothing fun to do in the later stages.
Jian Jianan was a little tired of the daily routine of getting on the bus to sleep, getting off to go shopping.
Hong Kong is nothing more than a few more skyscrapers, a few more shopping malls, and a few more people. However, after only a few days, Jian Jianan missed his small home in Donghu Liyuan very much.
Although Shenzhen does not have that many tall buildings, everything is developing prosperously, and everyone's face is filled with anticipation for future life.
She likes this kind of environment!
Everyone gained a lot from this trip. After eating the same food for a week, Su Qinxuan found that every meal became her inspiration, laying a solid foundation for her to reform several restaurants when she returned to Shenzhen.
His elder brother Jian Jiabei bought a lot of outdoor sports equipment. At this moment, he was looking at these big treasures and arranging their future destinations one by one.
Not to mention Jian Yangping, the whole suitcase was filled with clothes that were all his spoils.
Jian Jianan saw the prosperous side of Hong Kong, gained a deeper understanding of modern business operation models, increased his life experience, and learned how cities operate under the capitalist system.
I also received several beautiful dresses bought by my mother.
But according to her own observation, her father Jian Yangping still had some worries, but during this period of time, nothing bad happened. Jian Jianan secretly thought that something was wrong, but she really couldn't understand what her father was thinking, so she didn't explore it.
Today was the last day of the trip, and the itinerary was free to arrange anything. The family of four had no idea where to go for fun. Jian Jianan and his brother were still excitedly making plans when they suddenly heard their mother slap her forehead and say, "Oh my God! I almost forgot the most important thing!"
She had heard that there was a largest bookstore in Hong Kong with a wide variety of books, including countless teaching supplements that were particularly helpful for students. For the sake of her two children's studies, Su Qinxuan had long listed Xinhua Bookstore as a must-visit place on this trip, and she happened to have time to arrange it on the last day.
The four of them arrived at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore. As soon as they entered the store, they were greeted by a strong and pleasant smell of ink and books. The wooden shelves were placed very high, reaching the ceiling, making people feel like they had fallen into a book paradise.
Su Qinxuan took the children straight to the supplementary book area and bought several exercise books, not only for the current grade, but also for the grades above, from the first to the third year of high school. They didn't know when they would be able to come here again, so they just bought them all.
Jian Jianan watched his mother pile up the books she had received, and suddenly felt that he had lost hope in life. No way, no way, these supplementary teaching books cannot be finished!
Jian Jianan and his brother couldn't stop them. They could only watch as their parents put piles of books into the basket as if they were hamsters falling into a rice jar.
Jian Jianan felt bored, so he wandered around nearby. Xinhua Bookstore is indeed the largest bookstore nowadays. In addition to a wide range of teaching supplements, there are many other kinds of books.
There are popular science, emotional, and life books, among which life books are the largest category. At a glance, Jian Jianan thought that these books were specially published for people who cannot take care of themselves.
As she walked, Jian Jianan came to a clothing section. There were actually clothing sections! This was supposed to teach people how to make clothes. Thinking of the colorful, three-dimensional clothes she'd seen on the street, styles completely different from those she'd seen in Shenzhen, Jian Jianan picked up a copy of "Hong Kong Fashion Collection" with interest. Flipping open the book, she saw a wealth of detailed information, starting with fabric selection and continuing through to tailoring techniques.
What surprised Jian Nan the most was that there were tailoring plans in it. There was an A4-sized book spread out, which would teach you where to start cutting out puff sleeves, how to best connect them, and how to make a silhouetted suit.
Isn't this the secret of every master tailor? How could it be so carelessly written in a book?
Jian Jianan’s first reaction was to take it back to show her father, saying that he would definitely like it. Her father’s craftsmanship needed to be improved, and this way she would also have new clothes to wear.
In the clothing category, there is not only this book "Hong Kong City Clothing Trend Encyclopedia", but also many other fashion books that introduce the most popular clothing nowadays. Popular women's clothing is now concentrated in movies and TV dramas. Everyone likes a more sexy and curve-revealing halter dress, or a small suspender, which looks very charming when worn.
The most popular men's clothing now is a tight-fitting top with a black leather jacket. The most fashionable way to wear it is with a pair of jeans, either black or blue will do, the most important thing is that the style must be good.
Jian Jianan was dazzled. She didn't know that summer clothes could be classified into so many categories. In summer, she usually just wore pants or skirts, but in this book, bottoms could be divided into jeans, suit pants based on the material... and briefs, shorts and trousers based on the length.
Skirts can be divided into fishtail skirts, umbrella skirts, floral skirts... and many other styles based on their shapes.
While she was immersed in the book, Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan, who had paid the bill, came towards her carrying several large bags of books. Jian Jianan quickly picked up the books she had found and showed them to her parents.
The whole family was very surprised, mainly because these books were extremely rare. At least they would not be able to buy these books teaching you how to make clothes on the market in Shenzhen.
The clothes everyone buys now are all produced by state-owned garment factories. They look the same as they did a year ago and have never changed.
However, since Jian Yangping learned the craft of making clothes, the family of four rarely buys clothes outside. They all wear homemade clothes of the "Jian Yangping" brand.
Buying these books home now means that the whole family will have new clothes of different styles to wear!
Jian Yangping couldn't put it down. "This book is great! It has the plan drawn for you. It even has the distance to cut the cuffs and the hem. It's all marked out for you. I've never read a book like this before. If I had read it earlier, I wouldn't have to slowly figure out how to make clothes one by one. I even ruined several pieces of good cloth before, which was so heartbreaking."
Not bad, not bad, very good. Jian Yangping wanted to pay for it immediately.
Jian Jianan laughed: "If you think it's good, then just buy it, Dad!"
Jian Yangping chuckled, "Indeed, indeed, I was just about to buy it!"
Then, Jian Yangping seemed to see something, his eyes were glued to something and he couldn't move them away.
Jian Jianan followed his father's gaze and saw that it was the place where many fashion magazines were placed.
"VOUGE", "ELLE Fashion", "Olive", "Fashion"...
Jian Jianan took a look and saw that the bookshelf was filled with fashion magazines from various countries and categories.
Jian Jianan thought about her father's shopping spree for clothes this time, and thought about how he used to be unable to take his eyes off all kinds of beautiful clothes at home. It was no surprise to her that he couldn't take his eyes off them now.
Every fashion magazine has so many beautiful clothes, who wouldn’t be moved by them? She wants to buy them all to match her outfits!
"Dad, do you like this?" Jian Jianan held up the latest issue of "Vouge" and asked her father, "If you like it, buy it!"
Jian Yangping hesitated for a moment, but still refused. "Forget it. I'm already old, and your mother is very busy. Even if I buy it, I won't have time to read it."
"Besides, it's boring to just buy one book. I have to read it every month to know what's popular in the world and keep up with the trends."
Jian Jianan didn't think it was a big deal, "It's okay, Dad, so that's what you were worried about!"
She flipped through the pages, pointed at the title page and said to Jian Yangping, "Look, we can order from here. We just need to pay and subscribe to a year's magazine!
Jian Yangping: "Forget it..." He was about to say something else, but his daughter made the decision for him. She went straight to the checkout counter with a huge stack of fashion magazines and ordered a whole year's worth of magazines. Now she was writing her home address at the front desk!
I don't know what my dad is hesitating about. Forget it, I'll just make the decision for him myself!
Jian Jianan thought so as he paid the money.
After coming out of Xinhua Bookstore, it was almost time to go back.
The bus waited for a long time. The tour guide Xiao Zhou was muttering to himself. When he saw someone get on the bus, he picked up a pen and crossed out the person's name in his registration book.
After what happened with Cai Chengyu yesterday, he was really scared. Today is the last day, so nothing should go wrong again!
The bus took the first group of members to the border. They planned to return by the same route and after passing through Hong Kong customs, they would take the water route back to Guangzhou.
While Jian Jianan was waiting to pass the customs, he thought about the various scenes of this journey and suddenly laughed.
Behind us is Hong Kong, which was colonized for half a century. Today, its economy and society are highly developed. An ordinary employee's basic salary is HK$1,200 a month. There are tall buildings everywhere. It is the best example of a modern society and a blueprint model for reference in Shenzhen's development process.
In front of me is Shenzhen, which was transformed from a small fishing village into a pilot special zone for economic reform just a few years ago. An ordinary worker used to earn a maximum of 30 yuan a month, and a two-story building was considered a relatively good structure. Now the roar of the construction site resounds throughout the city, and everything is covered in dust, turning a gray color.
But so what?
If a city wants to develop, it will definitely go through such a process. In the long run, as long as Shenzhen continues to move forward firmly along the path of economic development, it will surely become an international metropolis, and may even surpass Hong Kong!
"Next, Jian Jianan!"
The blond-haired, blue-eyed British customs officer called out Jianan's name, and she came back to her senses from her wandering thoughts and walked forward.
"Okay, you can go now."
Jian Jianan took back his ID and ran to his parents and brother who had been waiting for a long time.
"Okay, let's go home."
She nodded: "Well, go home."
Return to our home, return to the rapidly developing Shenzhen, return to the booming future that no one knows what it will look like.
