Chapter 124: The Lost Shop
Xia Chongming pointed in the direction he was pointing and saw that it was a newly opened shop. The brand new door plate has a fresh design, and the door of the store is full of different kinds of flowers, and he looked at the name of this store called --- Miyou.
It's a fantastic name, and with the brand new decoration, it's really hard to tell what this store is buying from the name alone.
Dai Chuchen vaguely remembered that this location used to be a barbecue stall, and this shop was obviously replaced by a new store, and the original store should have been moved. However, the style of this shop is refreshing, with a flowery ethnic atmosphere, presumably Xia Chongming should be very curious.
He touched his chin and said, "Is it a new store?" Would you like to walk over and have a look? β
Xia Chongming looked at the style of the store, it was indeed unique in this Gulou Street, there was a girl in national costume standing in front of the store, she was wearing a rather large silver necklace around her neck, and she was holding a stack of leaflets in her hand, which seemed to be the introduction and promotion of this store.
The word "worried" is so appealing that it makes people wonder what exactly is sold in this store? And why such a name? Xia Chongming thinks she knows everything about the shop on Gulou Street, but she really doesn't know when this shop will be replaced.
She tugged on Dai Chuchen's sleeve and said, "Of course I'm going to take a look!" It doesn't hurt to walk around the new store! β
As she looked at the name, she wanted to find out what was being bought in the shop, but from the outside, could it be a flower shop? After all, there are so many flowers in front of the store, and through the glass of the store, you can vaguely see the wooden shelves in the store, which really looks like a flower shop.
If it was a flower shop, Xia Chongming would go there to take a look. Although she doesn't raise flowers, staying next to those flowers and plants will calm down a lot, and the whole person will be very relaxed. She also had the idea of raising flowers before, and took advantage of the holidays to buy a lot of flower pot seeds.
However, those seeds never really bloomed to show her, sometimes because of soil problems, sometimes because of sunlight problems, and sometimes because of Xia Chongming's neglect of care, in short, she can be said to be a waste wood in raising flowers.
If she can't raise it well, she can always take a look? Or this time she can buy a potted plant that is ready to be put away, take it back to the dormitory, and put it on the balcony. When the time comes, she and Lin Luo will take turns to take care of it, so they shouldn't raise the flowers to death anymore, right?
She pulled Dai Chuchen's sleeve and walked over excitedly, her mind full of what she wanted to buy and see for a while, and when and when to water the potted plants every day in the future.
When the two came to the front of the store, the girl in the national costume handed over the leaflet in her hand and said with a smile on her face: "The new store is open, welcome the two of you to come here to take care of the business of the shop!" This is the product advertisement of our store! β
Xia Chongming took the flyer, the flyer can be said to be quite exquisite, on it is a list of products in the Worry Store, basically covering all the products in the store. However, she was a little disappointed when she looked at these products, because this list did not have the potted plants she had been looking forward to, but beautiful glass bottles, filled with potions of various colors.
These bottles all looked very good, some were printed with lily patterns, some were printed with roses, and some were full of exotic flowers and plants that Xia Chongming did not recognize. Each bottle is also marked with a name, for example, the name on one of the beautiful blue-purple liquids that Xia Chongming saw is: Forget Worry Grass.
In addition, there are some yesterday's flowers, mud red, dark butterflies and so on...... Most of these names seem very inexplicable, but with these bottles and cans in the picture above, Xia Chongming actually feels that they are a good match. She raised her head and looked into the store, although there were large and small plants and flowers in the store, it was obvious that they were just decorations, the real goods were these colorful potions placed on the wooden shelves, she could feel the fragrance of the whole store when she stood at the door of the store, but it was not that tiresome aroma, but a little intoxicated.
She looked at the girl holding a stack of leaflets, and asked with a confused expression, "Little sister, what is your family selling?" What are these colorful potions for? β
The girl was a little surprised after listening to Xia Chongming's words, it's already this age, no, no? There won't be anyone who doesn't know about perfume, right? She looked at Xia Chongming in front of her, looking at her phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, delicate face, and perfect body proportions. Such a beautiful young lady, can't you see that her family sells perfume?
Let's just say that no matter how good they look, girls who usually love beauty will also buy themselves a bottle or two of perfume to attract the pleasant people around them and dress themselves up, right? Could it be that this young lady is not from the city, just like her, from a remote area......
But before she could speak, Dai Chuchen, who was followed by Xia Chongming, pointed to the picture on the leaflet and said, "Isn't this a perfume?" This perfume shop is called 'Misery'? It's a pretty new name. β
"Huh? This, this...... It's a perfume...... I thought it was a flower shop,......" Xia Chongming turned his head to look at Dai Chuchen beside him, and said in surprise.
The girl in the national costume looked at Xia Chongming's gaze in an instant from surprise, to doubt, and finally to understanding. She interjected and patiently explained to Xia Chongming: "Little sister, these are all perfumes. Perfume is a liquid that can be sprayed on the body, or applied to the wrists and neck. In addition to perfume, we also have balms at home, which are solid, and it is not bad to buy one and open it in the closet. Our perfumes are all lifted from pure natural flowers and plants, and they absolutely restore the breath of nature one-to-one......"
Xia Chongming listened to her explain to her carefully, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Of course, she knew about the existence of perfume, but she didn't pay much attention to dressing up, and she only heard about which female classmate in the class wore what perfume on weekdays, but Xia Chongming never bought it, and she didn't even go to a store specializing in selling perfumes.
She suddenly felt a little blushing, how to say that she is also a girl, and she doesn't even know these things that girls must have to improve their own charm. She didn't think much about improving her charm, isn't charm to show her favorite person? From childhood to adulthood, Xia Chongming didn't have anyone who particularly cared about.
If there is, there should only be a friend of the opposite sex like Dai Chuchen, but she only has brotherhood for Dai Chuchen. Do brothers wear perfume to each other?
She is always very aggressive, she hasn't paid much attention to her image, and she hasn't managed her appearance much, who makes her naturally beautiful and good-looking? Even if she doesn't manage her appearance, she is still a first-class beauty, and if she has the blessing of external objects, then no one can compare to her. But Xia Chongming is not so fond of swaggering, she just needs to be ordinary enough, she prefers to stand side by side with others than to stand on the top of the mountain and overlook others.
So for Xia Chongming, there is no need for perfume at all.
She took the opportunity to return the leaflet, pulled Dai Chuchen and said to him, "Forget it, let's go." I was curious about what was being sold here, but now I know it. Let's go see if there's anything good to eat, something to drink, and I still have a lot of places to check in. β
The girl who handed out the flyer in front of the store saw that Xia Chongming was leaving, and thought that what she said just now provoked Xia Chongming, so she hurriedly kept the two guests and said, "Don't go!" If you're here, why don't you go around? You're supposed to be a couple, right? Would you like to consider buying a bottle of perfume for your girlfriend as a gift? She patted Dai Chuchen's shoulder and gave Dai Chuchen a meaningful look.
Dai Chuchen originally saw that Xia Chongming was not interested, and planned to follow her, but when he heard the clerk say this, he suddenly felt a little happy in his heart. Could it be that in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are like a couple? This is what he can't ask for now!
Buy a bottle of perfume for her? Will she use it? Dai Chuchen could smell the body fragrance on her body every time she got along with Xia Chongming, and originally thought that she would also wear perfume like other girls, but her reaction didn't seem to be.
All girls love perfume, right? He didn't bring her any gifts when he came back from country F this time, and the two of them may have fewer and fewer opportunities to get along in the future...... Does he want to buy her a perfume this time, not only as a gift, but also as a souvenir.
Dai Chuchen was just about to answer, but Xia Chongming suddenly turned around and said, "No! Little sister, you misunderstood, he's not my boyfriend! The two of us are just ordinary friends, not to mention me...... I don't like perfume very much......"
Her first two sentences are quite confident, but the last sentence suddenly lost her confidence, after all, this is at the door of someone's store, isn't this going to smash someone's signboard? But Xia Chongming really couldn't think of how to refuse the enthusiasm of this clerk's young lady, and she really didn't have any interest in perfume.
After hearing her words, Dai Chuchen secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, although he had already sensed that Xia Chongming was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and he had guessed that she might not like him. But when this sentence came out of Xia Chongming's mouth in person, he was really shocked.
They are indeed not a couple, and he is not Xia Chongming's boyfriend. He is the stepson of Country F and the fiancΓ© of Lin Luo.
Is he making a fuss? He always thought that Xia Chongming had been friends with him for so many years because he had a certain good impression of him, but now it seemed that it was not what he thought in his heart.
But is it possible that Xia Chongming still likes him a little, but she still understands it herself?
In any case, she was the only one in his heart. It doesn't matter if she likes him or not, as long as he likes her enough, that's enough. And at this moment, this bottle of perfume is going to be given to her in the name of a friend.
"Why don't we go in and have a look." Dai Chuchen pulled her towards the store.
Xia Chongming shrank back and said, "Don't you go...... I'm not used to this kind of thing. β
But Dai Chuchen smiled, teased Xia Chongming and said, "Look at you, look at what's wrong?" Don't really think of yourself as a girl? I'll give you a bottle, and you can also enhance your femininity. β
Xia Chongming stared at Dai Chuchen, pointed to his nose and asked, "You say I'm not feminine?" β
How could she not be feminine? If you want to look and have a figure, what does she not have? Although Xia Chongming won't admit that she is a peerless beauty, she is not far behind, right?
