Chapter 2: Shopping for Clothes (1)
The weather is getting hotter, and the clothes for autumn and winter are already a little out of place. Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't have a change of cool clothes, and when he was off on Sunday, he thought about going out shopping and buying a few.
Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at the empty wardrobe in the room, and there was a trace of loss and chagrin in his heart. Zhuang Xiaomeng was a thrifty person, he rarely bought clothes, when he moved for the first time, Luo Qingan threw away all his spring and summer clothes, he didn't feel pity at that time, and even extremely happy, now I really regret it. If he hadn't thrown those clothes away in the first place, he wouldn't have spent any more money on clothes now.
Zhuang Xiaomeng stood in the mall with milk tea, looking at the endless crowd, and felt very comfortable. He thought about his former self, and suddenly felt an illusion that he could not see Mount Tai, that he had given up a lot of pleasures in life for the sake of a person, and that now his liberation was a reward for himself.
Zhuang Xiaomeng felt sad for himself when he thought about it, hey, for so many years, he has never been to a shopping mall, and he has been to the place with the most crowds, that is, the supermarket. In the past, when he fell in love with Wu Tong, Wu Tong never took him to the mall, Wu Tong said that it costs money to visit the mall, and they have no money, after a long time, Wu Tong's words have been imperceptibly fixed in his mind, becoming a kind of reminder to be vigilant, and he also regarded Wu Tong's words as good words, always reminding himself not to spend money indiscriminately. If it weren't for Luo Qing'an's soft grinding and hard foaming on him, repeatedly demanding and demanding, maybe Zhuang Xiaomeng would not have come to the mall to shop.
Zhuang Xiaomeng took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was now half past two in the afternoon Beijing time, and Luo Qingan agreed to meet him at two o'clock in the afternoon, which had exceeded half an hour. Zhuang Xiaomeng frowned, he was a little anxious, he didn't like to wait, endless waiting always made him feel scared and anxious.
Zhuang Xiaomeng dialed Luo Qingan's phone, but no one answered. Zhuang Xiao dreamed that maybe Luo Qing'an didn't hear it, so he dialed Luo Qing'an's phone again, but this time no one answered. Zhuang Xiaomeng pinched the milk tea cup, sucking the milk tea in the cup vigorously, he moved his body, his eyes kept shooting in the crowd, one circle, two circles, three circles, he tried to find Luo Qing'an's figure, but unfortunately there was no Luo Qing'an in the crowd.
Zhuang Xiaomeng drank milk tea too hard, and as a result, the red beans in the milk tea stuck in his throat, and he squatted on the ground and kept coughing, coughing for a long time and still not relieving his breath.
At this time, someone suddenly patted Zhuang Xiaomeng's back, Zhuang Xiaomeng was suspicious, frowned and turned around to glance, it turned out to be Luo Qingan.
"What's wrong with you? What are you doing on the ground? Luo Qingan said with a smile. He also apologized for being late.
Zhuang Xiaomeng's breathing was still a little unsmooth, and he kept panting. He wanted to blame Luo Qing'an, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it, he was afraid that Luo Qing'an would be unhappy if he said it.
"You've seen us for so long and haven't come yet, wait for a hurry!" Ke Yifan stood behind Luo Qingan and said with a smile. Since the last time he saw Zhuang Xiaomeng in the bar, he has a good impression of Zhuang Xiaomeng. He felt that this young man was serious and dedicated to his feelings, so he admired Zhuang Xiaomeng very much. And he also agrees with Zhuang Xiaomeng's concept of love very much, because the two of them have the same concept, sometimes he feels that he is stupid and pathetic, but when he knows Zhuang Xiaomeng's story, he feels that Zhuang Xiaomeng is stupid and sad than him.
Zhuang Xiaomeng and Ke Yifan had only met once, and he and Ke Yifan were not familiar with each other, so he looked at Ke Yifan and smiled politely.
Ke Yifan knew that Zhuang Xiaomeng was deliberately keeping a distance from him, after all, the two of them were not familiar with each other, he looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng There was still a trace of tears left in the corner of his eyes, and smiled knowingly, in order to shorten the distance between the two, he teased, "You can't cry when you see that we haven't come for so long, right?" ”
"Little fart, why do you like to cry so much." After Lantian parked the car in the underground parking lot, he hurriedly came to the first floor of the mall to look for Luo Qing'an and his party, and when he walked behind Luo Qing'an, he just heard Ke Yifan say that Zhuang Xiaomeng was crying, so he interjected inappropriately. In fact, he didn't want to say this sentence in his heart, but his words turned into disgusting words after they came out in a circle in his mind.
Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at Lantian and felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know why, every time he stayed with Lantian, he always felt panicked and unhappy. When he went out today, he knew that Lantian was at home, because he didn't want Lantian to know that he and Luo Qingan went shopping, he was afraid that Lantian would be with him when he found out, so he sneaked out of the door while Lantian was not paying attention. He thought that Lantian would not come, but he didn't expect that God still likes to tease people, and Lantian still came.
Regarding Ke Yifan's ridicule, Zhuang Xiaomeng wanted to explain. But when he heard what Lan Tian said, he was very disgusted in his heart, and he didn't want to explain anything more, they could say whatever they wanted, it didn't matter.
"Why is he here?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked angrily.
Lantian felt displeased, he wanted to say something. But he was stopped by Luo Qingan and said, "He is here to be our driver, and he can just pick you up at night." ”
"I'll hitchhike back myself, and I don't need him to take me home." Zhuang Xiaomeng said angrily, then turned around and left. For the anger he showed just now, he also felt a little inexplicable, what was he angry about? He thought about it for a long time, but he never came up with a result that he was satisfied with. Maybe sometimes it's so inexplicable to be angry.
Luo Qingan looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng's back, and then at Lantian's expression, smiling helplessly.
"This young man has a strong sense of self-protection, so you should be careful in the future." Ke Yifan suddenly smiled, and then looked at Lantian and said meaningfully.
Luo Qingan and his entourage had come to accompany Zhuang Xiaomeng to go shopping and buy clothes, but when they saw that Zhuang Xiaomeng had been walking, they didn't want to go into any store to try on clothes, and they saw that Zhuang Xiaomeng was only looking at and touching the clothes he was interested in, so Luo Qingan asked curiously, "Aren't you going to buy clothes?" Why don't you go into the store and try it? ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at Luo Qing'an, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer Luo Qing'an's question.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qingan asked.
"The clothes in here are so expensive." Zhuang Xiaomeng lowered his head and whispered, feeling like a child who had made a mistake.
"It's okay, try and don't ask you for money." Ke Yifan patted Zhuang Xiaomeng's shoulder and said with relief. He saw that Zhuang Xiaomeng still lowered his head and didn't speak, so he took Zhuang Xiaomeng's hand and walked to the store.
Zhuang Xiaomeng remained motionless in place, no matter how Ke Yifan pulled, he still stood in place unharmed. Zhuang Xiaomeng only brought a few hundred yuan when he went out, he thought that this money was enough for him to buy a few sets of clothes in the mall, but when he saw the price on the tag of the clothes in the store, he was timid, and the money he brought couldn't even afford a shirt, so he didn't dare to enter any store in the mall. He was afraid of being ridiculed and looked down upon by others.
"Didn't you bring any money?" Luo Qingan seemed to notice something, and then looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng and asked with concern.
Zhuang Xiaomeng nodded, and then shook his head again, looking aggrieved.
"Did you bring any money?" Lantian was a little anxious. Talking and doing things is one, two is two, he doesn't like ambiguity, and the feeling of guessing is very boring. He saw that Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't have himself in the tower, he thought that Zhuang Xiaomeng really didn't bring money, so he complained, "I knew I wanted to buy clothes, but I didn't even bring money when I went out." I really don't know what you're thinking! ”
Ke Yifan looked at Lantian and sighed helplessly.
"Can you die if you don't speak?" Luo Qingan really couldn't stand Lantian's appearance. Luo Qingan knew that Lantian was very poisonous in his words, and Lantian's words were the easiest to poke into people's hearts, if Lantian kept being like this, he didn't know how to change, even if he met a beautiful woman, the beautiful woman would be scolded by him.
Listening to Lantian's run, Zhuang Xiaomeng was really annoyed, he wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was futile and meaningless to explain with someone like Lantian. So he looked at Luo Qingan and whispered, "I thought the clothes in the mall were not expensive, but when I came to take a look, I didn't expect the clothes to be so expensive." If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have come to Su Mall to buy clothes. I should go to the wholesale market to buy clothes, where the clothes are nice and cheap. ”
"You're wasting our time, you know? Don't you know how much time is worth every inch of gold? Lantian said.
Luo Qingan wanted to punch Lantian, but he thought that he couldn't beat Lantian, so he forgot it. Then he looked at Lantian and said viciously, "If you don't want to go shopping with Zhuang Xiaomeng, go back quickly." No one stopped you. ”
"Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't call me to go shopping together when he went out. You two had to pull me over. Lan Tian rolled his eyes with a reluctant face, but his body still told Luo Qingan very honestly that he didn't want to leave, "Now you want to drive me away, why." ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't want to stand in the mall and quarrel with them, and he didn't want to listen to them quarrel, he felt ashamed. Zhuang Xiaomeng turned around and wanted to leave, but was blocked by Ke Yifan, who was quick with his eyes. Ke Yifan and Luo Qingan glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on both of their faces at the same time, and then the two of them casually entered a men's clothing store with Zhuang Xiaomeng. Zhuang Xiaomeng wanted to escape, but unfortunately he couldn't. Even if he broke free from Luo Qing'an and Ke Yifan's shackles on him, there was still a Lantian standing behind him, and Lantian would definitely not let Zhuang Xiaomeng run easily.
