Chapter 10 10. The starry sky is the sky

Since that necklace, a series of changes in my life have followed.I have a black credit card, I'm going to own a house in Lyon, I'm going to learn to drive... But my question is, can't I have a MINI Cooper? Isn't the MINI Cooper a good car?It is so beautiful and proud.Danny Haig looked at it: "Of course, this car is very beautiful and cute, but come and see if you like this one? What? I don't know? This is Ashton Martin, you don't want to drive with 007 Is it a brand of car?" ... How much money is Danny Hagrid worth?I don't want to ask, and I don't dare to know.Once the number of euros exceeds the price of a MINI Cooper, I lose my concept. I have no idea how much difference can be bought between 10 million euros and 100 million or billions of euros.

My poker face was mistaken by him for an indifferent attitude towards money, so he taught me like this: "Weiwei, it is not a bad thing, do you agree with this? Well, then we have a basis for discussion. It Doesn't give you all the joy in life, but it buys most of it. Take your friend to the store, you're leaving her. You said she was a good friend, didn't you? What a gift Not too much." Yes, Xiaoduo and I, who have lived together for three years, are breaking up.She knew I had a boyfriend after Christmas, but I was always careful to hide the changes in me, and I didn't tell her I was moving out until one day she told me that she was going to Paris , because someone saw Xiao Pei there.

When she told me that she was going to leave, she had sent a lot of things to Paris.She stood in the middle of a roomful of clothes picking out some she would take away and wear, some she could keep for me, and some she asked me to throw away.While doing these things, she told me: "You, you have to be careful yourself, your face has lanugo, like a peach, can't you shave it? People always look at you and bully you . "I asked a friend to rent you a house in the girls' dormitory of the church. If you move there, it will be more cost-effective than here. Although it costs 20 euros more per month, it's not as messy.

"You, don't always act like a lone ranger. You have to know some friends from China or France. Otherwise, you will be killed by the old lady of the landlady, and no one will call the police. "Hey, why are you staring at me? I said you are wrong? "You can wear this dress, you look better in it than I do. "..." I was a little impatient with her nagging at first, but later when I heard her talk about the old lady of the landlady, I remembered how she had always protected me, and I became sad.I said, "Why do you have to go to Paris?" She sat on the bed and said to me: "When we were in the police station, do you remember? You told me that Xiao Pei didn't harm us, and I don't think so. But what's going on, I have to ask clearly." .”

"You said you didn't love him." "I don't care now whether I love him or not. I have to find him and find out." She said vigorously, but in the blink of an eye, tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. I went over and put my arms around her shoulders, patted her on the back, and coaxed her and said, "Xiao Duo, you have always made dumplings for me to eat and clothes for me to wear, I have never given you anything. I... You, you are leaving, shall I give you some presents?" She looked at me and wiped her eyes: "What did you give me? Well, that's okay, you can make an extra bowl of vermicelli soup tonight, put more ingredients and more meat."

I laughed and got a snot bubble all of a sudden.I wiped my nose with a tissue, lowered my head and said to her hurriedly: "No, a serious gift. We will go to Lafayette tomorrow, and I will give you a serious gift." The next day, holding the black Swiss bank credit card given to me by Danny Haig, I took Xiaodo into the Lafayette.At that time, I only knew Versace, Chanel, Dior, and Maxmara. Of course, it was also good to only know the clothing stores in these malls. They saved me from the embarrassment of being measured by a French tailor in a private famous store in cheap underwear.

Before we walked into the Chanel store, Xiaoduo grabbed me hard and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing? You robbed a bank, right?" The shop assistants looked at us curiously through the transparent window.I took Xiaoduo's hand and said, "I've come here, if I don't go in again, I'll make people laugh." We are two plainly dressed foreigners. I have already prepared a lot. How to say when I am blocked, what to say when I am neglected, what to say when I am treated as Japanese, what to say when there is a problem with a credit card I have never used ...But the whole process was free of any twists and turns, conflicts and dramas. The female salesperson gently and kindly introduced the new models, materials and accessories launched in spring.When Xiaoduo tried on a light green dress, I drank the coffee prepared in the store and watched their product introduction with my legs crossed.The amiable male clerk discussed with me the weather in Lyon for the past two days like a familiar neighbor. Of course, they were happiest when I took out the card and signed my name on the payment receipt.

Later, I thought that there might be many clues leaking out of my newly acquired wealth. Although I am not used to it, I have subtly shown it, letting them know that I am really someone who can pay for it and buy it in a famous store. Customers of those expensive fancy clothes. Maybe it’s because I only care about the style of those clothes, and I didn’t ask or look at the price from the beginning to the end; maybe it’s because I’ve been very comfortable since I entered the door, without any tension, excitement, or any special enthusiasm for a certain item Come; of course, it is more likely that they have long been used to those young, beautiful but penniless girls who suddenly get favored by rich men, holding mysterious credit cards or blank checks to change themselves here.

I didn't buy anything myself and just wore my original sweater and jeans with peace of mind. Xiaoduo and I took the clothes and shoes we bought for her and sat down at the Jin Mau Restaurant, and ordered a lot of delicious food.She looked outside: "It's really different here." Then she turned her head and looked at me, "Tell me, which bank did you rob?" I shook my head: "I met a man." "Huihui, of course I know." She leaned on her chin, "Is it the one who got us out of the police station last time?" "Ok." "Is it good for you?"

I wanted to just say "um", but her question caught me off guard.I grinned a little at the thought of Danny Hagrid. Xiaoduo held my hand and looked into my eyes: "That's fine, that's more important than anything else. I'm happy for you." I tell Danny Hagrid all these things.I told him which clothes Xiaoduo bought, which shoes, which dish she liked to eat at the Jin Mau Restaurant... He looked up from the document he was reading when he heard that our two girls had eliminated four set meals: "awesome!" I looked at him and laughed: "Are you bothered by what I said? Did it bother you at work?"

"Tell me, Wei Wei, I like to hear it." He said, "You must know that I will never be a female college student." Under the yellow light, there was a kind of childish interest on his face. "I also gave her some other things." I sat on the ground next to him and looked up at him. "What is it?" "I put 20,000 euros into her account. Danny, you know, she went to Paris by herself, nothing is more practical than this." "So did you tell her?" "No, she will find out when she uses it. I'm afraid she won't want it, and I don't want her to thank me in person." Danny laughed, his eyes sparkling.He bent down and kissed my forehead and face: "I knew it, you are so kind! Dear Wei Wei, you are so generous." I put my arms around his waist, pressed my face tightly against his body, felt his warmth, and smelled the peppermint on his body, I felt safe and happy.I grinned and said, "You're nice, Danny, it's your money, and you're generous." In March 2003, the house Danny Haig bought for me in Lyon was finished and ready to move in.It was the top floor of a high-end apartment, with eight rooms, three bathrooms and a 70-square-meter terrace full of flowers.Looking out from the terrace is a private garden open only to the residents of this building. The oldest pagoda tree in it is 130 years old.Under the leadership of a foreman, four servants cleaned every room and every corner spotlessly.We have two chefs who can cook and bake all kinds of desserts.The bedroom and study had my favorite white shag carpet that covered your feet, the closets were linen trimmed with silver trim, and the crystal vessels gleamed in the warm spring sun.I stroked them, and secretly marveled in my heart: how can a person own so many things? When I was lying in Danny Haig's arms and watching Hayao Miyazaki's movies in the starry sky; When I listen to him in a playful mood about the legends and myths attached to this stone, and then write a check generously; when I drive my silver Ashton Martin across the city to school When I feel uncomfortable with the tuition fees and the expensive book list issued by the teacher, I think that one part of my life is over, and another part of my life has really begun.
