In a blink of an eye, it was almost the 12th, and that day Xin Yi offered to ask Gu Jingnian to accompany him to buy a gift for Old Man Lu.

Xin Yi thought that Gu Jingnian and Lu Mingli were familiar with each other, and it was clear what hobbies the old man of the Lu family had. And men should understand men's preferences better, so it should be more directional to find him to accompany him to buy things.

And Gu Jingnian did not live up to the trust, as Xin Yi thought, the direction is very clear.

"Master Lu likes pen and ink. ”

"Okay, let's go buy the four treasures of the study. Under the leadership of Gu Jingnian, Xin Yi went straight to the street of literary and ink supplies.

It's just that this inconspicuous street, how can every place Gu Jingnian bring is so expensive! An ordinary brush actually starts at 5 digits. Xin Yi rubbed his eyes and counted again, "Ten hundred thousand." "It's really five figures.

"Miss, can you get a discount?" Xin Yi has always heard that the products of the cultural toys have a lot of moisture, and he thought that maybe this pen can be less than a thousand at a discount, maybe the price is just inflated, so don't be nervous.

"Miss, we don't bargain here. The professional smile of the little girl in the store shattered all these fantasies of Xin Yi.

Xin Yi smiled awkwardly, pulled Gu Jingnian's sleeve and walked out, "Let's change places." ”

The two of them entered another store, the door of this store was much more low-key than just now, and it was the dark purple plaque with a few big cyan characters engraved on it: He Lianqing. The interior decoration is also very quaint, and the overall style is based on the dark purple Chinese style, which is not as magnificent as the store just now.

This one should be cheaper. However, Xin Yi looked through the glass window, and the pen here seemed to have 1 more 0 behind the price.

"Otherwise, you swipe my card. Looking at Xin Yi's tangled little face, his eyes and eyebrows were about to wrinkle together, in order to understand his wife's urgent needs, Boss Gu was happy to pay for his wife.

However, Mrs. Gu refused: "I said that I don't need your money, I still owe you 100,000 yuan." ”

Madame refused so completely, and Mr. Gu was not easy to insist.

Regarding the matter of money, after the two reconciled, there was a special consultation.

"I won't use your money. On that day, Xin Yi took the initiative to hand over the supplementary card given by Gu Jingnian before, "I want to maintain financial independence, and I will pay you back any money." Xin Yi told Gu Jingnian his thoughts very seriously, his eyes were very round, and he looked like he was swearing.

"Xin Yi, how much deposit do you have?"

"Huh?"

But Boss Gu changed his words and confused Xin Yi.

Although he didn't understand the man's intentions, Xin Yi honestly took out his mobile phone, looked at the bank text message seriously, and then replied a little embarrassedly: "I still have a few thousand yuan." ”

"Your thousands of yuan are sometimes not even enough for my meal, maybe AA can't do it, how can you be financially independent?" The man looked at Xin Yi funny, but the girl's childish appearance made him feel very good.

"Then I'm not going to eat from you. Xin Yi was a little negative when he said this, and he regretted it as soon as he said it, let himself say no to those delicious steaks, pork chops, and chicken chops, is he brainless?

"We still have to eat. Gu Jingnian returned the card to Xin Yi and said, "You cook for me, and you have to pay for the vegetables yourself, it doesn't make sense, right?" ”

"That's right!" Xin Yi felt that the man's words were very reasonable, but it seemed very shameless to take back the card he had just returned, so he immediately added, "I mean, this card is for eating, and I won't buy anything else." Don't buy me anything too expensive, just like you used to buy me expensive clothes, it will make me feel like you are being kept like a pet. ”

"Oh. Gu Jingnian nodded, and a little teasing thought ignited in his heart, "Then do you want to return to me what you bought for you before?"

"You !!" Xin Yi gritted his teeth, how could anyone send something like this and ask someone to return it. "What you gave me is mine, I mean I want to be financially independent in the future, don't spend money on me, I have to earn it on my own, do you understand?"

"Oh?" Gu Jingnian raised his eyebrows, "What about your college tuition?"

Xin Yi didn't think so much about money when he first talked about it, and he didn't think about his upcoming college career and the expensive tuition fees.

The girl was stuck, thought for a long time, and finally came up with a solution: "If you want to lend me the tuition, I will pay it back to you later, if you don't want to, I can also take out a student loan myself, and I will figure out a way for my living expenses." ”

"What do you think?" Xin Yi looked at Gu Jingnian with some hesitation after speaking.

"I do. "Men are happy to help girls with college, in fact, if Xin Yi is willing, he is willing to pay for all the girl's everything. "In the future, the food will be mine, the snacks will be mine, the food will be mine, the tuition will be mine, and nothing else will matter. Is that okay?"

"No, I asked you to borrow the tuition. ”

"Okay. Tuition fees have to be repaid. ”

"Deal!"

Xin Yi was still very happy at the time, as if through this verbal agreement, the two had reached personality independence in a sense.

Don't spend Gu Jingnian's money, don't rely on Gu Jingnian to live, such a love state will make it much easier for you. At least in the face of doubts, no matter what others think, you will not have doubts in your heart. In this way, you can fall in love on an equal footing.

However, when he really bought something today, Xin Yi really wished that he could swipe Gu Jingnian's card well. Everything recommended by Gu Jingnian is so expensive, and none of them can afford his bank card.

Why are the things that rich people like so expensive. Isn't cheap stuff easy to use? Can't you pursue cost-effectiveness when you buy something? Xin Yi is a little unhappy.

Xin Yi walked past the finely carved brushes, shy away from the price tag.

"Why do you say it's so expensive, don't you just rub the hair on the bamboo? "Xin Yi belongs to the countryside to enter the city, the first time he has seen such an expensive study of the four treasures, and he is still reluctant to admit that he is poor.

"Yes, it's definitely not gold-inlaid. Gu Jingnian affirmed Xin Yi's statement, but there were words later, "This wool is produced from the lake sheep and the old rabbit on the stone, and it is one of ten thousand, so it is Guisheng Chijin." ”

"Guisheng Chijin?" Xin Yi repeated Gu Jingnian's words again, and when this four-character idiom was used, Xin Yi didn't understand the meaning for a while.

The man explained to Xin Yi very considerately: "That is to say, this mao is more expensive than gold." ”

"Let's go. Don't buy it!"

Xin Yi pulled Gu Jingnian and walked out. This time, instead of changing stores, he left the street directly, and Xin Yi couldn't afford the things that rich people liked.

Sister, can't I buy it!
