within Temptation

Chapter 74 Ridiculous Thoughts

My hand was still stretched out there, just waiting for Zhang Wen to come and take the money away.And Zhang Wen looked at the large handful of banknotes in my hand, blinked, and suddenly came over to take them.At the same time, she curled her mouth and said quite disconvinced: "Who says I look down on the poor? I'm also a poor person. Do I still look down on myself?"

I was stunned, and said amusedly, "Are you considered poor? Can poor people afford your high-end clothing store? Will poor people waste as much as you do?"

Zhang Wen was a little ashamed, stomped her feet, and said angrily: "You...you haven't finished yet, right? Who wants to waste it? Who wants to throw away everything? I have no choice but to move. I I have never moved before. At first I didn’t think that those things could be sold. Later, when I realized it, I already said that I would give them all to you. Seeing that you really sold them, I still I regret it to death! Really, I don’t understand anything, so I’m teaching people here. Do you think I’m rich? That clothing store was actually a joint venture between me, my sister, and Xiaoru. The money is still the least among the three. It’s just because Xiaoru and my sister both have jobs, so I was allowed to manage the business. After a year of hard work, besides the dividends of my sister and Xiaoru, I have to pay Rent and staff wages. I don’t have a lot of money in my pocket. Xiaoru lives in a high-end residence and drives a car, but I can only rent that old house and buy an electric car for transportation. Don’t you see these things? Are you here? You still say that I am rich, but I am not poor? Maybe, I am even poorer than you!"

I was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Zhang Wen did not look very rich.The house she originally rented was indeed small and old, and it is estimated that she would not spend much rent for a year.An electric car is only 2000 yuan at most, which is really not a waste of money.Could it be... It's really like what she said, it's just that she didn't expect these things to be sold at first, but when she realized it, she regretted that it was too late?
With a glance, I saw that Zhang Wen had already turned her back and was counting the banknotes.That appearance, where there is no lack of care about his own things just now, is completely the appearance of a miser.

I held back my laughter and didn't speak, just watched her count the money.After a while, Zhang Wen probably counted the number, turned around and said to me with a wry smile, "Is that little thing of mine really sold for so much money? Your surname is Dai, are you quite capable? "

I smiled and said, "Have you counted? Check with the list. If there is nothing wrong, then I will leave."

Zhang Wen rolled my eyes at me, and said with a smile, "What's the hurry? I haven't even thanked you for helping me so much. By the way, let me ask you, did you plan to spend the money on your own? I want it, but it's just because I said that about you that you can't be angry enough to show it?"

I smiled and said, "What are you talking about? You still don't believe me by now? Well, I'm full, and I can't find anything to do by myself. Anyway, I brought everything here for you, Tang I already have an explanation for the boss. You can think about it as you like, see you later! No, it’s best to disappear!”

After finishing speaking, I ignored Zhang Wen, turned around and walked towards the door of the room.As soon as I took a step, Zhang Wen grabbed my arm, but I heard her shout: "Oh, I didn't mean that! Why are you so bad-tempered? Okay, okay, it's my fault. I I shouldn't have misunderstood you and wronged you. Mr. Dai, I'm sorry, okay?"

I was really surprised to hear this unreasonable woman apologize to me.He couldn't help but stop and turned to look at her in surprise.Zhang Wen seemed to be unable to bear my surprised gaze, her little face blushed uncontrollably, her hand was still holding my arm, she looked elsewhere, and said softly, "What are you doing? I haven't seen a woman say I'm sorry? I'm not like you, hum! I won't even apologize for doing something wrong."

I was going to ask, what did I do wrong?But before I could say anything, I realized that Zhang Wen must be referring to the fact that I saw those two photos of her.In all fairness, I did not intend to see those two sexy photos of her.But then, out of curiosity and sensory stimulation, I secretly continued to watch it.Although I didn't see anything after that, subjectively, my subsequent behavior was intentional.In the final analysis, I was right about that matter, and I am ashamed to admit it myself.Moreover, thinking about it now, I did not apologize to Zhang Wen for this matter.I can't see that Zhang Wen is still a woman who has the courage to admit mistakes, not as unreasonable as I imagined.Since a woman can do this, why can't I apologize to her?
Thinking of this, my heart calmed down.Turning around, he said in a gentle tone: "Miss Zhang, since you apologized, let's not talk about this matter. It was about that day, and I didn't seem to have told you that I was sorry. Now, I want to solemnly of……"

Before I finished speaking, Zhang Wen suddenly interrupted what I was going to say, and hurriedly interjected: "Okay, that matter is over, so don't mention it again. You... look at you, you are covered in sweat And dust, don't talk so much, go to the bathroom to wash it first."

I was stunned and looked at myself. After moving so many things, my body was dripping with sweat and my clothes were covered with dust.I smiled and said, "Forget it, I'd better go home and take a shower. It's almost time, and I should say goodbye. But before I leave, I still want to..."

"Bath? Xiaoru can wash here too! I'm going to treat you to dinner at night, so you don't have to go back. By the way, Xiaoru also has the latest washing machine here, so you can wash your clothes when you take a shower .It only takes 10 minutes to dry, and your dirty clothes will become clean and refreshed, how about it?"

I sweat!Take a shower here?Invite me to dinner?Why is Zhang Wen so nice to me all of a sudden?

I gave a wry smile and said, "No need? It's Mr. Tang's order to help you move, which means it's my job. You don't need to be so polite. Besides, taking a bath at Mr. Tang's house is too..."

"Oh, Xiaoru's home is also my home now. I told you to wash it. Go and wash. I'm covered in sweat. I smell a strange smell when I talk to you. It's so uncomfortable. I'm done washing. I invite you to dinner, this meal is not to thank you for helping me move, but...thank you for not letting me cause waste. If you don't go, you will look down on me!"

Pushed by Zhang Wen, I went into the bathroom of Tang Xiaoru's house dumbfounded.I was about to think of a way to refuse, but Zhang Wen pointed to a huge bathtub in the bathroom and said to me: "Hurry up, just stand in the bathtub and take a shower. There are body soap and shampoo on the shelf above. , although it is for women only, but you can make do with it. Also, there are clean bath towels in the cabinet on the wall, you can take one out to wipe yourself after washing. Finally, do you see this washing machine? Take off the dirty clothes Throw it in, press the automatic button, it will wash and dry by itself, and you don’t need to worry about it at all. Did I make it clear enough? If it is clear enough, let’s start quickly! I’ll wait for you for 10 minutes, two In 10 minutes, we will go out to eat together!"

This woman was talking like a machine gun, but I couldn't get a word in.After finally waiting for her to finish speaking, she turned around and immediately walked out of the bathroom. The door slammed shut.

It took me two seconds to react, so I had to smile wryly.I'm not really determined not to want her to invite me to dinner, but taking a bath at Tang Xiaoru's house always makes me feel abrupt.Turning around, I carefully watched the bathroom.The bathroom is large and very clean.The tiles on the floor and walls are still the same as the outside, in blue tone.It's just that the blue on the ground is slightly different from the blue on the wall.Standing in the bathroom, I feel like I am standing on the blue sea, and beside me, there is a blue sky.The bathtub is also blue, like a blue boat on the sea.

I couldn't help but sigh for such a beautiful bathroom. It seems that Tang Xiaoru has a preference for blue.I don't know, what kind of mood and artistic conception does this represent?
I slowly walked to the bathtub, thinking that Tang Xiaoru would lie down and take a bath here every day.Her incomparably beautiful body would appear and disappear in the bath water.What a seductive and desirable picture it is!If I just bathe here in such a big way, will I desecrate this sacred place that only belongs to her?
Thinking about it, I had completely forgotten my own decision, and reached out to caress the edge of the bathtub, as if I was caressing Tang Xiaoru's body.In my heart, tenderness surged at this moment, and I fantasized about Tang Xiaoru's appearance, and gradually fell into obsession.

"Hey! Why haven't you moved yet? Hurry up and wash, I'm waiting to have dinner with you!"

A cry from Zhang Wen outside woke me up from my fantasy.Back to reality, I feel lost.Alas, I also said that Tang Xiaoru would be forgotten soon. As far as my obsession just now is concerned, it seems that I have sunk a little deeper.How can I be so in love with a woman I will never have!

Shaking my head, I tried not to think about it.As soon as I thought about it, I remembered the woman outside.

This Zhang Wen doesn't seem to be the petite and unreasonable woman I imagined.She can admit her mistakes, but she is also a good girl with a true temperament.I don't have any hatred with her, so there's no need to argue with her anymore.Now she must invite me to dinner, probably because I not only helped her move, but also saved a little loss for her.If I refuse to go, it will appear that I am narrow-minded and purposely trying to make things difficult for her.

Just go, anyway, I helped her save a lot of money.Invite me to a meal, I also feel at ease.

I began to take off my clothes slowly. Although I didn't want to desecrate this place, I really couldn't go out to eat like this.Just wash it, maybe, there will be no chance to come here in the future.Being able to share a bathroom with Tang Xiaoru is not every man's luck.

I smiled bitterly, saying that first love is childish.Although it's the first time I really fell in love with someone, I'm still in my 20s now.Why is it that the way he thinks now is so ridiculous like that of a Huaichun boy?
