Chapter Twenty-Eight: Two Skirts
At the dance that day, I was in charge of selling yogurt, and it was Li Yun who helped me, and this batch of yogurt was brought by Chen Yifan from the school logistics office, because the shelf life of yogurt is very short, so we had to sell them all out on this night.
At the dance, I met Shen Hongtao and Liu Lili, as well as Du Qing and Bao Lina, who came to buy yogurt at about the same time. Hong Tao was still smiling stupidly, while Du Qing was expressionless. Both of them had something to say to me, so I had to let Li Yunding be there and talk to the two of them separately.
What Hong Tao said was that he wanted to find a way to drag Liu Lili to the back door to eat wontons after the ball, and then find an opportunity to confess and ask me if it was appropriate to arrange it like this. Du Qing once again mysteriously asked about Zhao Xiaoxuan's situation, and asked me when I would invite Zhao Xiaoxuan to come to school to play. For these two people, I can only respond noncommittally and vaguely. First, who knows if eating wontons has a romantic boost for a girl? Second, who knows what kind of dramatic changes will happen if Zhao Xiaoxuan is invited to campus again?
All in all, it's a headache for me.
Before the lights went out that night, Hong Tao came back and had a private chat with me, and the two of us had a friendly conversation in the laundry room while washing socks and underwear.
Hong Tao's matter finally has an answer, that is, Hong Tao went around in circles for a long time without saying anything, and Liu Lili said a word and asked him directly, do you like me?
Squad Leader Shen nodded painfully. Liu Lili cruelly said that she was very sorry for the class leader, she didn't like the class leader, and she could only be a friend but not a girlfriend, so she asked the class leader to forgive.
Seeing Liu Lili so crisp, the squad leader suddenly became full of courage, so he directly asked Liu Lili if she liked Zhou Xu's kid.
Liu Lili also replied neatly, yes, I like Zhou Xu.
When the squad leader came back and told me the whole truth with great sincerity and frankness, I gasped and coughed that I was going to bed.
The squad leader behind him roared angrily: "You stinky boy is too good, the two class flowers like you, you are too lucky, God is unfair!"
Yes, the sky has no eyes, these two Banhua may have made a mistake.
The next day, Sunday, I went home, and my mother asked me a lot of questions, essentially one question, whether I could adapt to school life. I said that of course I was fine, but there was one thing that needed my mother's help, and that was that I urgently needed to buy a bicycle.
After getting 400 yuan from my mother, I made a precise budget. The first step was to go to the electromechanical market and find a car shop and buy a Jinfeng women's bicycle at a low price, that is, 280 yuan, which was indeed shocking. Then ride straight to the Sijiqing Clothing Market. Interestingly, the Sijiqing Market in '90 was much more lively than I imagined, and the Sijiqing clothing market at that time was far less big than it was later, and it was a venue the size of a basketball stadium, and there were some storefronts around it that were being renovated. According to my recollection, in ten years' time, if nothing else, the prices of these stores will increase tenfold.
But now I'm not interested in real estate operations, I can only guess that this is another H state in another parallel world, and no one can be sure that the economy will work as I remember. If the operation does not follow that law, then any speculation will fail miserably.
Why do I have such a headache, I just have to act according to my own intuition, if I am lucky, then everything I do now will become another life script, and the beautiful and happy life of another wife and another son will be grandly staged. To this day, though, I still miss my "posterity" wife and children.
I've been looking for skirts with lace trim all over the market, but now it's late autumn, so I can only choose autumn dresses with thicker materials, which usually don't have lace. In the end, I spent 120 yuan on a dress that I thought was barely passable, although in my 20-year vision, it was already old-fashioned. Then I found that I only had a hundred dollars left, and after thinking about it, after a fierce ideological struggle, I bought another denim skirt and spent the hundred yuan just in time.
So I rode back to school with two skirts. I took the denim skirt to my bedroom and put it away, then ran to Bao Lina, and without saying a word, threw the royal blue autumn dress onto her bed, and before she could look at it or object, I dragged her out of the bedroom and into the bicycle shelter outside.
"Well, I said I would pay you a new car." I said solemnly to Bao Lina.
"This, no, not good, don't." Bao Lina said three nos, shook her head desperately and waved her hands.
"You can't afford not to." I threatened in an accentuated tone.
"Zhou Xu, you better give me back my original car, you can use the new car yourself. Really, I don't want a new car. ”
When I heard that she insisted on not asking for it, I said, "Well, this is not what I paid you, but what I lent you!" Well, so be it, give it back to me in four years. After saying that, I grabbed Bao Lina's hand, shoved the key into her palm, and turned to leave.
More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the next issue of Yuxin 89 has finally been edited, and it is about to be printed. On the last night before printing, Bao Lina and I went to a secluded classroom for one last proofreading and typography. Before this, Bao Lina had already done a good job in the art and layout, which was absolutely unexpected, but I didn't expect this cute girl to even be so good at art and layout. If you think about it carefully, this Bao Lina is not the same except for the same name as the one I remember who played ambiguously with me.
The two of us fought in the classroom for more than two hours, tossing and turning until ten o'clock. My eyes had become hazy from staring at the words for too long, and Bao Lina was there rubbing her eyes. I said, it's time to finish, right?
"Well, it's over!" Bao Lina said through gritted teeth, standing up and stretching a long waist, her posture infinitely lazy and sexy.
