Chapter 1: Strange Watches, Strange Women
"Are you sure you want to buy this watch?"
I looked up at the shopkeeper. The old man still looked at me with a smile, and then at the watch in front of me.
I also lowered my head and looked at the watch carefully.
It's so beautiful, it's like a smart life, jumping in front of my eyes, as if tempting me: "Buy me away, buy me away"
However, my gaze swept to the man standing to my left, the beautiful girl.
As soon as she saw my gaze, she turned her face away. Still, I felt a strange feeling.
Ever since I entered this small shop, I felt strange when my eyes first met with her.
She seemed to know me, and when she saw me, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. It was less than a second, but I still saw her expression. The kind of surprise is as if we have known each other for a long time, very familiar and special.
But I don't know you, do I? Beautiful girl.
Yes, she is really beautiful, she should be the most beautiful woman I can see in the real world, of course, excluding those female stars I have seen in TV and movies, and, my Yuting.
As soon as I thought of Yuting, I put that gaze back on the watch.
I can't tell if this watch is a men's or a woman's model, but a neutral one, which is suitable for anyone's hand. I've tried it on just now, and when the cold back of the watch is attached to my wrist, I can feel a sense of the flow of life.
It's strange that when I first saw the watch on the counter, I was fascinated by it. It's like a kind of telepathy between people and watches. Love at first sight? Perhaps, this is the most appropriate word.
However, this watch was originally intended for that beautiful woman, right? However, she didn't seem to ask for it, and this time, I took the lead.
"Really, it's only two hundred?" I looked up, still a little disconvinced.
Such a delicate watch, is it really only two hundred yuan?
The gray-haired, glasses-wearing old man smiled and nodded.
"I know, you said it, this is an electronic watch that imitates a mechanical watch." I muttered to myself, so I took out my phone, swiped it at the payment QR code on the counter, and looked at the time on my phone.
The current time is half past three in the afternoon, and the exact time is Sunday, March 24, 2019, at half past three in the afternoon.
The watch lay quietly in the box, not to mention, it was quite accurate, and the time on the dial was also half past three. Hey, isn't that nonsense? Can the watch seller make the wrong time?
As if sensing my thoughts, the old man's next sentence was a little strange, really strange.
"Young man, this watch is very accurate, but." The old man paused, "You have to remember not to pull out that pin and spin it." ”
"What?" I was stunned, and at the same time, I had already completed the payment on my phone.
This action is too fast, the password has already entered the reflex, and if I enter it, I don't even have time to regret it.
I thought about it, is there something wrong with this watch? No wonder it sells so cheaply, only two hundred?
I'll admit I'm a little suspicious, but these days, there are so many fakes. Such a beautiful watch, if you really want to deceive people and say that it is a mechanical watch, some people will really believe it. I really don't see why this watch is an electronic watch, it looks like a mechanical watch.
What about the dial on the watch? If it's an electronic watch, why do you have to install such a thing? Are you afraid that the battery will be gone, and you can rewind it? I'm really a little skeptical of this designer's brain, how complicated a two-hundred-dollar thing can be.
So, I picked up the watch again, and I was going to touch the needle, and even pull it out.
"Don't pull it out!" Suddenly, the shopkeeper shouted.
I was so frightened that I put my watch down again, and I almost smashed it to the ground.
I looked up and saw that the shopkeeper, the old man, had regained his smile. However, his voice just now really startled me.
"Young man, I told you, this is an electronic watch, it is very accurate, and it will only be one second short in 10,000 years." The old man smiled kindly again, "So, you don't have to worry about it going wrong at all." ”
"But." I hesitated, and I didn't have a word to say.
But what is the needle for?
"This pin is just an ornament, useless." The old man seemed to see what was on my mind, "You don't need to move the hand, especially counterclockwise." ”
"Why?" I blurted out.
The old man said unhurriedly, "I don't know why, but when I got this thing, someone told me that." You must not dial this watch back. ”
I frowned, and swallowed another sentence in my heart.
Strange, how can there be such a strange thing?
Next, the old man's words made me a little impressed by him.
"Life is the same as this time." The old man turned his head and looked behind him.
Behind him, there was a dense pile of clocks, but, strangely, all the clocks were on point, showing half past three.
Perhaps, this old man is a Virgo, meticulous, and all the clocks are carefully adjusted to the same time. Perhaps, these clocks are really good and can never be wrong.
My gaze swept to the left, to the woman in a black dress, black stockings, and black high heels.
Her hands seemed to be shaking slightly!
She seemed to sense something, and immediately took her hand back, but I still sensed her uneasiness. But why is that?
This woman is really beautiful, but there is a trace of uneasiness and hesitation in those bright eyes. Her figure is also great, bumpy and convex, especially the full breasts and curved waist and hips, which can arouse the desire of men.
Suddenly, a picture appeared in my mind.
This woman in black was pressed under me, my hand rubbed against her, and the woman let out a slight scream.
"Are you listening, young man?" The old man's voice woke me up.
I quickly turned around, and suddenly, I felt a little red on my face.
Ning Qiang, what are you thinking? Are you worthy of Su Yuting and your goddess?
I feel a little blamed for myself, I, Ning Qiang, I only love my goddess in my life - Su Yuting! How could I have that illusion about a strange woman? It's so dirty.
However, the scene I had just imagined was still so clearly in my mind, as if I had experienced it myself before.
However, I am sorry and ashamed to tell you that I, Ning Qiang, am still just an original junior boy.
Isn't that incredible? Ning Qiang, wake up, hurry up.
I didn't dare to stay in this place any longer, and that young girl was really tempting to me.
"You can't turn back time." After confirming that he had received the payment, the old man put the watch back in the box, put it in a plastic bag, and handed it to me, "Young man, I envy you for being so young. However, sometimes you still don't want to turn back, there is no turning back in this life. What is in the past is in the past. ”
"No turning back?" I was stunned.
Yes, think about it, although I am only 21 years old, so young, but how many times will I want to go back?
There will always be regrets in life, whether you are 21 or 81 years old. It's a pity that time can't be reversed, and everything can't be repeated!
The old man went inside to do something else, and I walked out of the little shop with the plastic bag containing the watch box.
Walking out of the doorway, I looked up.
The sky began to darken. Strange, when I entered this store just now, there was still a big sun hanging in the sky, but how could it be cloudy in a blink of an eye? The weather in this spring is really a child's face, and it will change.
Fortunately, it was just overcast, and it didn't mean to rain. So, I took the bag and walked in the direction of home.
My home, a few blocks from here, is in a residential unit building, on the 3rd floor, in a rented house.
It's not too far from where I live, but I rarely go down this path. By the way, what is this place?
I looked at the street signs and realized that this path is called "Fishpond Road". Such a path, in Gangnam City, is as much as rice.
This little shop is just around the corner of the road, on the left side of the road, there is a public toilet not far away, and next to a small street park. Further on, on the side of the road, an old woman was pushing a wheelchair in this direction, and a few students were giggling and joking, walking.
I strode forward, suddenly felt something, and looked back.
At the door of the small shop, the woman in black had also come out, but she was staring blankly in my direction.
When my gaze intertwined with hers, she was startled, immediately turned around and walked in the other direction.
What's the matter with this woman? Beat me up from the moment I entered the store, she looked at me so strangely? Now, she chased it out again, and still looked at me like this?
I can't forget the first time the woman looked at me, it was so weird. She seemed to recognize me, and he seemed surprised that I was there.
But I can't remember where I saw her.
I, Ning Qiang, male, 21 years old, now work in an advertising agency. Don't look at my young age, in fact, I jumped for three years and went directly to a local university in Jiangnan, and my classmates are all older than me.
Oh, just like my goddess and my classmate, Su Yuting, she is 24 years old, three years older than me. Okay, I'll admit that I like sibling relationships, but we're classmates.
Yuting is actually not particularly beautiful, but in my heart, she is the most beautiful.
Oh, of course, from the point of view of pure appearance and figure, Yuting is inferior to the woman in black. Yuting's appearance is considered to be middle-upper, and her figure is not much better than Princess Taiping. However, this is also normal, where do we Chinese people have such a popular figure as the woman in black?
Damn, why do I think of that woman in black again?
I quickened my pace, but I couldn't help but think back to the image I had just imagined. Hey, a single man, maybe he's really suffocating, and there's a bunch of things in his head!
At this time, I felt a little anxious, probably thinking about that kind of picture that was inappropriate for children, right?
Well, let's go to the toilet first.
So, I picked up my pace and almost ran into the public toilet.
When it was done, I washed my hands at the sink at the door of the toilet, and the bag containing the watch was casually placed next to the sink.
I looked in the mirror, this face, not to mention, is very handsome, Yuting should like me, right?
However, suddenly, I saw in the mirror: just ten meters behind me, the woman in black was hiding behind a tree and was looking at me!
What exactly does she want to do? Could it be that she has been following me all the way······
