Chapter 229: If Life Deceives You
If life deceives you
Don't be sad
Don't be in a hurry
You can get angry, angry, crazy, and furious.
Everything is instantaneous
All will pass
It's a big deal to hang up 'life' and blast and destroy it.
In Zheng Qing's expectation, if Jiang Yu found out that she had been deceived, she might simply turn around and leave, or she might throw the atlas in her face and then turn away, of course, as a witch, she might also take out the law book and give us a few cruel ones at public expense, and then leave in Shi Shiran.
Either way, Zheng Qing felt that he deserved it.
However, what he expected did not happen.
Jiang Yu was still holding the heavy atlas, patiently choosing the right clothes for Yelena, and her face was only a little unswerving, and there was no sign of leaving.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
Volcanoes erupt are not scary, and people can run away from the threat of nature before the lava flows, but the silent active volcano can be restless, because you never know if you will be buried in the thick of ash in your sleep.
"How's this going?" the witch's voice interrupted the young student's thoughts.
Zheng Qing was keenly aware that her tone was a little colder than before.
"It looks familiar. Zheng Qing looked at the dark red dress suspended above the album and hesitated: "I remember that she wore this style of skirt." β
"That's right...... I remember it quite clearly. Jiang Yu snorted lightly, quickly turned a few pages, pointed to the type entry of this long skirt, and said quickly: "This is a bohemian long dress, which belongs to the traditional costume of the gypsies...... Since you don't know anything, you can only choose the most appropriate style to give to her. β
Zheng Qing blinked and nodded again and again.
The witch's words sound very reasonable.
"This is the autumn hit launched by Green Spinning, a sleeveless chiffon long pleated skirt in the Korean style. β
"The material is the popular Tsubaki silk, the color is elegant, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. Refreshing mantras are embroidered with gold silk on the seams of the garment, so that the wearer can keep the skin hydrated even in the dry autumn...... There is also a cleaning rune attached to the skirt, and mosquito mud will automatically bounce off when it falls on it. β
"The color of the top is slightly darker, with a burgundy neckline and cuffs, which matches her hair color very well...... The amaranth red dress, slightly darker than her hair color, can well set off her dazzling temperament...... In addition, the five-colored tassels on the belt are taken from the story of ancient sorcerers who knotted ropes to ward off evil spirits. β
"Also, if you choose this skirt, I recommend buying this box of pearls next to it at the same time...... A good gypsy witch will always give herself the most appropriate accessories. β
Zheng Qing followed her finger and looked at the corner of the atlas, a brown wooden tube was piled with carmine-colored bean pearls.
He swallowed and cautiously glanced at the price of the box of pearls.
Nine beans and seven corners.
Very good, within one jade coin.
Lu Xifang didn't use his hands and feet on these beads, so the price was still within Zheng Qing's affordable range.
He just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but Jiang Yu threw the atlas in his hand into the air.
"Huh?" the young student was dumbfounded.
"Before you agree," the witch turned her head to look at Zheng Qing, stroked the long hair in her ears, and snorted softly: "At the very least, let those clothes racks be worn a few times...... What, do you have other opinions?"
Zheng Qinggan laughed and shook his head quickly.
He could never admit the slightly shady thoughts that had just popped up.
Two elves swooped down from not far away, grabbed the album that had flown into the air, screamed, and landed behind the curtain.
"It's probably going to be a few minutes, so you can have a cup of tea and take a break. Jiang Yu suddenly turned out a bright knife between his fingers, then lowered his head in Zheng Qing's frightened gaze, took out a piece of wood from his bag, and stabbed it on the wood.
"What is this?" Zheng Qing held his breath, picked up a teacup from the coffee table, and moistened his dry throat.
"Homework for the seal carving class. The witch didn't raise her head, but replied faintly, the knife moving slightly, and a cloud of sawdust fell between her fingers.
β......β
"Thank you so much today. Zheng Qing took another sip of tea.
He shook the teacup in his hand, and the amber liquid curled and swirled in the cup, causing the few tea leaves at the bottom of the cup to fluctuate.
When the tea leaves stop floating, they slowly sink to the bottom of the water, overlapping each other, with their heads and tails connected, like a ring, and like an Ouroboros.
Zheng Qing was stunned, tilted his head, and poured the tea leaves into his stomach along with the tea.
"Actually, I'm a little curious. Jiang Yu's voice suddenly sounded, scaring Zheng Qing into choking on tea a few times.
The witch looked up suspiciously, but saw the young public scholarship student waving his hand again and again, indicating that he was fine.
So she continued, "I'm curious about why you chose clothes as gifts...... As a girl, I think this kind of gift needs to be very deliberate. β
"I don't know what gift to give...... Zheng Qing chewed the tea residue in his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and replied very honestly: "The price of Mu Niang's jewelry is a bit expensive for me...... I don't know much about cosmetics, I haven't seen any other wizard give flowers, and I don't know if the gypsy language is different from ours...... If you didn't help me choose clothes, I almost went to the Apple Pavilion to buy a Pandora's box. β
Jiang Yu finally removed the stiffness on his face and showed an expression that couldn't help but laugh.
"You can buy her a pet," said the witch in a brisk tone, "kittens, puppies, birds...... If you are afraid of trouble, small turtles and small hamsters are good choices. β
Zheng Qing's eyes immediately widened.
"I should have asked you earlierβ" he muttered, scratching his head, and sighing heavily, "I'm really not fit to pick a gift...... In fact, I also considered the candy man shop on the pedestrian street and planned to buy her a box of Bohemian cavalry. β
The witch finally couldn't help it, covered her mouth, and leaned back in laughter.
Within minutes, the model in the red dress walked out of the backstage and circled the catwalk.
The corners of the skirt are flying, the flow rate is fluttering, and the jade is singing.
"Isn't this dress a little ......" Zheng Qing hesitated, trying to pick a suitable word.
"Zhang Yang?" Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Isn't this the most suitable style for her?" I think she is the most energetic girl in the entire Nine You Academy. β
"That's true. Zheng Qing held the empty teacup, deeply agreed.
The elves, holding the atlas, flew down again, landing on the witch's shoulder.
Jiang Yu put away the carving knife and wooden blocks, and opened the album again.
"This one is fine," Zheng Qing said involuntarily, "Don't bother to look at the others..."
"One last thing. Jiang Yuqiang held back a smile, opened the album, and handed it to Zheng Qing: "A complete set of clothes, including underwear." β
Zheng Qing looked at the bright belly pocket on the album, shook his hand, and threw the teacup in his hand on the ground with the album.
"Hahahaha!" The head of the class in front of him slapped the table and laughed wildly.
"We both had a bit of a gaffe today. Zheng Qing picked up the album and teacup and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
......
Until the time of payment and checkout, Jiang Yu still made fun of Zheng Qing's lame lies from time to time, as well as his embarrassment when he lost the atlas.
"Government-funded students, 10% discount. The old woman's abacus at the front desk crackled, but her voice came clearly into the ears of the two young wizards: "Don't you take a picture?"
The dress has been properly folded and placed in a brown paper bag.
There was also a small wooden box next to the bag, and inside were those rouge-colored pearls.
"Photo?" Zheng Qing grabbed the wooden box and stuffed it into the gray cloth bag, he was stunned when he heard the words, and then Yu Guang carefully glanced at the witch beside him.
"Why, you really plan to let me kiss you!" Jiang Yu hugged his arm and glanced at the young public-funded student, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Where, where! hahahaha......" Zheng Qing scratched his head, laughed, and his face turned red: "Didn't you remember what the photo meant just now...... Ahh......h
He quickly took out the student card from his arms, slapped it on the table, and tried to say in a calm tone: "Nine folds are very satisfied...... 10% off...... Nine folds is good, it's good. β
The old woman raised her eyebrows, and finally said nothing.
Zheng Qingchang breathed a sigh of relief.
