within Temptation

Chapter 118 Buying Snacks

The movie starts at 08:30 in the evening, and now it’s only 07:30. Zhang Wen and I have enough time to buy snacks and prepare to eat while watching the movie.

After walking out of the cinema, I saw Zhang Wen took out her mobile phone and made a call.From the tone of her voice, she called her clothing store and told her shop assistants not to go out at night.I think this movie will last at least two hours, and when I get home after watching it, it will be almost midnight.Although my mother would never ask me where I was going at night, it's better to call back and tell her so she won't worry.

So, I also took out my mobile phone and dialed the number at home.Yingying answered the call. I just said that I would come back later, and suddenly I thought that Yingying loves the big star Xu Shu so much. If her eyes were fine, she would be so happy if I took her to see a movie starring Xu Shu ah?It's a pity that even such a little bit of happiness is not a big deal for ordinary people, but for Yingying, it turns out to be a luxury that can almost never be realized.There is nothing more unfair than this in the world.

For a while, I couldn't bear to tell Yingying that I was watching a movie outside.Simply put, I have something to do, let her tell my mother.

After putting down the phone, I had a thought in my heart that no matter what, I should find a way to make Yingying's eyes see bright again.I know that Yingying's biological mother has taken her to all the hospitals in the country, and concluded that according to the current domestic medical level, there is nothing to do about her eyes.But now I think that Yingying's eyes may not be cured in China, but what about abroad?I don't believe it. In such a big world, isn't there a country capable of treating this disease?

Of course, I also understand that going abroad to seek medical treatment without sufficient funds is simply wishful thinking.In a short time, I don't have the ability to realize this wish.But since I am Yingying's relative, her health and happiness are my responsibility.I can live a poorer life, and I don't even need to get married, buy a house, or spend a penny more.I have worked so hard all my life, I must save enough money to send Yingying to the best hospital in the world.It is my greatest wish and goal in this life to make her eyes see all the colors again.

"Hey! Why are you in a daze? Let's go, go to the supermarket to buy snacks!"

I didn't wake up from my contemplation until I heard Zhang Wen's cry.Suddenly, I realized that my hand had already been held by her.He was dragging me hard towards a supermarket across the street.

I suddenly felt that it was a waste to invite Zhang Wen to watch a movie, buy the most expensive ticket, and buy snacks for her.If she is my girlfriend, then I have nothing to say.But the relationship between me and her is obviously not even a friend, and I really don't know what to spend money on her.

Thinking of this, I feel a little reluctant in my heart.But I changed my mind, I invited her to watch a movie today to atone for my sin.After all, I took advantage of her, so I should be punished.Besides, I agreed to her request just now. As a man, keeping promises is the minimum criterion.After today at most, I don't have anything to do with her anymore.In the future, I will be more frugal in food and expenses, and make up for today's expenses.It's Shi Shanshan's side, I have to explain clearly to her.She is my girlfriend, and she must understand my intention and purpose of saving.If she can't understand and agree, then I don't want such a selfish woman.

After entering the supermarket, at first I thought that Zhang Wen would definitely take the opportunity to buy a lot of favorite snacks.It's not her money anyway, so there's no need to feel bad about it.But in the end, she picked and picked, and she only bought two packs of potato chips and two bottles of ordinary drinks, which cost only a dozen yuan.

I was a little surprised. Seeing her walking towards the cashier with these things, I couldn't help but say, "Miss Zhang, is that all?"

Zhang Wen said: "Yes, don't you think it's too little?"

I hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm just a little strange. These two kinds of snacks are also available in the kiosk in the movie theater. Why do you have to travel so far to buy them here?"

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Stupid! The prices of the same thing at the movie theater stand and the supermarket are quite different. Look at this bottle of Ye Jianxiang tea, which costs only [-] yuan in the supermarket, but it will definitely sell for more than [-] yuan in the movie theater." , do you believe it or not?"

I said, "Really? Just a bottle of drink, the price difference is more than double?"

Zhang Wen said triumphantly: "You don't understand this, do you? Where is a movie theater? Basically, only men and women in love go there for entertainment. Men often put on a generous and bold expression in front of their lovers." It looks like they don’t care about the price at all. How smart are the operators of the movie theater canteen? If they don’t kill them, who will they kill? This is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.”

Hearing these words, I couldn't help but look at Zhang Wen with admiration.When I moved last time, I knew that she was actually a very frugal woman who understood the hardships of life.Now it seems that these are all true, Zhang Wen is indeed not the kind of woman who likes vanity and spends money lavishly.This character of hers is very tempered with me, which makes me feel like it.

But, since she is a very frugal girl, why does she have to ask me to buy the most expensive movie ticket?You know, an ordinary movie ticket is 60 yuan, and two tickets are only [-] yuan.But the couple box costs [-] yuan, which is equivalent to the price of three ordinary tickets!

After paying the money, Zhang Wen and I walked out of the supermarket.Look at the time, it's still very early.Zhang Wen smiled and said to me: "Dai Yong, it's still early, why don't you go shopping with me?"

I said, "No problem, where are we going?"

Zhang Wen pointed to a street not far away, and said, "Go there, it's a clothing street, go and see how their business is doing."

Not far ahead is the city's famous clothing street.On both sides of the street, there are almost all shops selling clothing.Zhang Wen is in this line of work, so of course she would be interested.I don't care, since I have nothing to do, I nodded in agreement.

Walking all the way, Zhang Wen had to go in and watch almost every store for a while.For those women's clothing, she must carefully conduct comparative research.I know she won't buy it, just to see the style and price.

Soon, we wandered to the middle of the clothing street.I checked that the time was almost up, and reminded her to go back, otherwise she would miss the movie.Unexpectedly, Zhang Wen didn't say anything, but Zhang Wen suddenly saw a long dress for women in the window of a clothing store. She immediately showed a look of joy and admiration, and ran over quickly, standing there to watch it carefully.I had no choice but to follow and said, "Miss Zhang, it's almost time, shall we go back?"

"Wait a minute, this dress is so beautiful, and I've never seen it in a style before, I have to take a good look at it."

I had no choice but to say nothing, just stood behind her and waited.I thought to myself that I had already reminded the past that it would be late to watch the movie later, so just don't blame me.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone hurrying past behind me, and a woman's voice said, "Can you hurry up? The movie is about to start."

Then, a man's voice said: "Please, I still have so many things in my hands. You have to walk so far by yourself, and you still blame me for not walking fast?"

I thought this woman's voice was quite familiar, and I couldn't help but look back.I saw a man and a woman passing right behind me.A man with a large bag in his hand followed the woman panting.And the back of that woman is really familiar to me.

Well... I must have seen her, but who is she?
