Volume 1: The Tide of Dusk: A Prelude to Teenagers and Girls (3)
The two of them walked into the revolving door together, and the sudden cold wind of the central air conditioner blew him shivering.
The indoor pedestrian hall is illuminated by orange lights, and the logos of these international brands stand on the black marble brick walls, and each glass window is hollowed out to show its own high profile.
"What's wrong with you, weird. ”
As if sensing his hundred unease, Lin Xiaojia asked.
"It's okay, I'll get closer to you, it's cold. ”
He was telling the truth, the central air conditioner was set up as if he didn't want electricity, and the cold wind poured 360 degrees into him without dead ends, and he hugged the next door, close to Lin Xiaojia's side, and the arms of the two were almost next to each other.
An Yiran, who was closer, felt a reassuring heat coming from her, this girl didn't seem to be very sensitive to temperature, even if she was wrapped in that windbreaker on a hot day, she wouldn't sweat.
And maybe it's because of the Red King, her body temperature is much higher than others.
A pair of men and women walked across the side, the woman's hand wearing an emerald diamond ring was tightly wrapped around the man's arm, Lin Xiaojia glanced at An Yiran, who was almost attached to her, and the imperceptible crimson swept over her face in an instant.
"It's too close. She tilted her head and said lightly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're too warm to pay attention to it for a while. ”
An Yiran didn't react, he scratched his head with a haha, moved his body slightly away, and didn't notice the fluctuating mood of the girl next to him at all.
After that, they walked and stopped, lingering for several hours, and before passing by this almost pure black window, Lin Xiaojia's eyes finally lit up, pushed the door and walked in.
She was looking with interest at the new autumn trench coat that had just hit the shelves, her fingers glancing over the sophisticated oak display shelves.
The man in a dark purple suit was respectfully removing the style she had left between her fingers and handing it to the teller who looked more respectful.
An Yiran leaned on the dark green patent leather sofa beside him, and drank Coke from the small goblet in his hand with a straw in his mouth.
Two slices of lemon are sandwiched between the brim of the cup, and four ice cubes neutralize the bubbles and the sourness of the lemon, and the cold taste makes him feel quite enjoyable at the end of summer.
But what is this, this kind of counter has also started to do Hilton suite service? He pretended to shake the black liquid in his glass, as if he were waking up to a glass of high-end red wine.
Although he didn't understand the routine of this service, when asked what he wanted to drink, he didn't think about it and said that he would bring me a can of ice Coke, and the teller's slightly stunned expression still left a deep impression on him.
Of course, the professional teller did not have any gaffes, and respectfully told him that you would wait a while, but in a few minutes the tray containing the goblet was brought over.
The white scarf gently wiped the opening of the can of Coke, and the teller gently opened the can through the square towel, and slowly poured half of the can of Coke along the rim of the cup, without spilling a drop.
It's really like even Coke is going to pour out a look that I can't afford to drink, this guy has done it in Hilton, right?
The teller in front of him, dressed in a black suit, seemed to have really turned into a waiter, standing respectfully beside the sofa, the corners of his mouth kept an upward arc, and quietly watched An Yiran swing the goblet in his hand back and forth.
The just right distance didn't make him feel too uncomfortable, he took another sip of Coke and looked at Lin Xiaojia, who was shuttling between the oak display cases.
The man in the dark purple suit still followed her not far away, sometimes directing a few tellers in black suits behind him to fold and bag the selected clothes, but after a while, five or six elaborate paper bags were packed and carried by the black-clothed tellers.
Looking at such a big battle, An Yiran couldn't help but stick out his tongue, he still remembered that when the two of them first walked in, the clerks were standing in their own areas, and they were not very interested in the two young people in casual clothes.
Until Lin Xiaojia casually took out the card from the pocket of his jeans, threw it to the clerk standing aside and said that he would choose all the ones he chose to help me wrap them I don't like to try on clothes, the clerk took the card with a little doubt, and the titanium alloy card was stiffened with a gilded Roman warrior head, he hesitated for a moment and then bowed and said Please wait for me to let the manager come over, and hurriedly ran to the store.
Half a minute later, the man in a dark purple suit with a shiny back combed hurried to them, and said to Lin Xiaojia respectfully, Hello, I am the manager of this store, and I am here to serve you.
Then there was the scene before, everyone in the store regarded Lin Xiaojia as the center, and of course they didn't forget An Yiran, who accompanied the girl, and specially arranged personal personal service.
Although An Yiran didn't understand what kind of plane this group of people were doing, she must have a lot of reason for the card she took out, after all, she didn't even seem to have seen it.
"That's it. ”
Lin Xiaojia waved his hand slightly, signaling that he wanted so much, the man bowed slightly, trotted to the counter on the side, and soon came back with a small cannon, and handed the black titanium alloy card back to Lin Xiaojia with both hands.
"Do you need me to arrange for someone to deliver you to the house?"
The wording of the honorific gave An Yiran goosebumps, and the seemingly disparity in age between the two made this conversation extremely incongruous.
"No, someone will help me get it. ”
She pouted at An Yiran, who was leisurely holding a Coke, and the man in purple smiled as if he knew something, beckoned to the teller behind him, and six paper bags with the silver Prada eye-catching logo were placed in front of him.
"I mean, these black trench coats all look similar, do you need to buy so much?"
He carried three paper bags in his left and right hands, and the heavy feeling made him a little unbearable for the lack of exercise, and he hummed and followed Lin Xiaojia with brisk steps.
The clerk behind him bowed slightly to their distant figures, and he looked at the black trench coat in the paper bag and complained quietly.
"This kind of clothes are very troublesome to clean, and it is too time-consuming to send them to the dry cleaners. ”
Lin Xiaojia put the black card in his pocket and looked up at the shops around him.
"It's easy to get broken in our work, so it's always a good idea to buy a little extra spare, and I love the style of this brand. ”
"Buy a little spare, do you want to use these goods, which are 10,000 dollars each, as consumables?"
"Isn't everything in this world consumables, money, food and daily necessities, even people? ”
She put on a natural expression at An Yiran.
"Of course, the funds allocated to me by the organization are still very sufficient, as long as there are no major problems, the supply of materials of this level is not a problem, although this kind of thing has always been handed over to Lao Zhang to purchase, and I rarely come forward in person. ”
"Distribution? Is that awesome-looking card the same?"
He suddenly remembered that Lao Zhang had said that the An subsystem could be used as a credit card, but he had just gotten his own system, and some functions didn't know how to use them.
"You said this card. ”
Lin Xiaojia took out the black card, and the gilded Roman warriors reflected a dazzling brilliance under the lights of the mall.
"The card handled in the name of the consortium of affiliated organizations has an unlimited global quota, of course, it is exclusive to members above A, of course, if members of your level want to consume, they only need to show the QR code synthesized by the An system. She explained.
"Of course, the amount is not comparable to this card. Lin Xiaojia added.
"Tsk, how do you feel that no matter where you are, you will be crushed to death by the official level. ”
The card with unlimited consumption that can be used around the world is really a bit dreamy in the mind of An Yiran, who has no clear concept of these yet.
And Lin Xiaojia's image in his heart suddenly changed from a girl who only knew a serious lecture to a little rich woman with a huge fortune, and the strong contrast made him feel a little funny.
"If I became so rich, I probably wouldn't have so many worries, wouldn't I, I could buy whatever I wanted, and things like ability would become dispensable. ”
An Yiran tightened his hand that was a little sore from the shopping bag, and said half-jokingly.
He felt that what he said was not unreasonable, after all, there were only a few people like them in the world, and most of them would not come into contact with the dark side under the calm waves, and kept chasing forward in order to realize the wishes in their hearts.
Maybe it's wealth, maybe it's fame, the world on the bright side is still full of so many invisible battlefields, making people's heads bleed to varying degrees, not to mention the world that belongs to them?
Those surging desires are basically the same thing as the skeleton, and those who struggle to gather their desires are not necessarily much easier.
And what they want to protect from the night wreckage, in addition to their own family, is the rest of the same thing, thinking of this, the energy secretly surging in his body made him a little depressed.
"I said, Lin Xiaojia, you join this organization, do you have your own ideas?"
His suddenly low tone like a lost dog made Lin Xiaojia turn his head to look at him suspiciously.
"Are you okay, is the quota so hard for you?"
"It's not because of the money!"
It's too decrepit, it's too decrepit, even he feels more and more like the sour Confucianism in ancient times, and a big fart can make a splash in his heart.
"Of course, everybody has their own ideas. ”
Lin Xiaojia didn't open her mouth to question his sudden sentimentality, she tilted her head slightly, the curvature of her soft face was dazzling and inexplicable in the light, her clear eyes were opposite An Yiran's sight, and the breathing of the nineteen-year-old boy who saw it was cramped.
"My current thinking is that our organization is also a decent consortium on the surface, and as a member of it, you are too unelaborate in what you dress. ”
What surged in her eyes was completely the seriousness of her heart, so that An Yiran, who was brewing complex feelings, held back the sentence in her heart that she wanted you to take care of.
"Let's go, no matter what, you have to be decent in your face, isn't that what the Chinese often say." ”
A rare smile faded on Lin Xiaojia's face, and I have to say that this slightly rising arc is the most quiet and lovely smile he has seen over the years, if it is an idol drama, what should he say at this time?
The answer, of course, is NO, he can't do such a bad story as the male protagonist of a rotten novel, and the beauty opposite obviously does not belong to the category of a natural heroine.
"Can you please not be stupid?"
Stunned, the owner with a perfect smile had slowly walked away.
She walked towards the next store with a pale gold shell, and her flat voice dragged An Yiran back from her distant thoughts.
Delusion, this girl seems to be in a surprisingly good mood today.
An Yiran lifted the weight between her hands and trotted to catch up with her back.
Looking at Lin Xiaojia with a brisk pace in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little complacent about his proposal today.
