Chapter 41 Peacock Forest (41)

After the wedding banquet, Rong An pestered Shi Xiangyi and insisted that he go to the department store next door. Rong An also pulled three classmates together to make a fuss, preventing Shi Xiangyi from having a chance to escape. As soon as I entered the department store, I pointed to a bottle of perfume that was on sale at a cosmetics counter and said: "This bottle sells for 1990, so I will buy this bottle.Let you earn the remaining 10 yuan. 』 Shi Xiangyi said a lot of things like he will definitely pay back the money next time and that I don't need perfume. "As you said, we are all the same peacock pickers. ’ I interrupted him, shrugged and said:

"That's why I must pay back this debt now. 』 He glared at me, but I pretended not to see him. After Shi Xiangyi left resentfully, Rong An, me, and three other students chatted on the spot. "Last time he asked me to make a 2,000 yuan red envelope, but he still hasn't returned it," said the first classmate. "Me too. Next time I will use this method to get back the 2,000 yuan." The second classmate said, "But I'm curious, which unlucky ghost and idiot helped him make red envelopes this time?" I saw the third classmate with a mournful face and said:

"I'm that unlucky idiot! And this time it's two thousand eight!" The five of us teased each other for a while, and then we dispersed. I went home, and Rong An returned to Pingtung. On the way back I kept thinking: If the peacock represents money, So why don't I look after or value money like someone who picks peacocks? Maybe money is just vanity in a narrow sense, and vanity in a broad sense may also include other things. For example, does the degree I am currently pursuing also belong to vanity in a broad sense? As soon as she stepped into the yard, she found that Li Shanlan was stopping in the yard, seemingly lost in thought.

I passed behind her, intending to climb the stairs back to my room.After stepping on the first step with his left foot, he turned around and said: "Sorry. 』 She didn't answer or react. I stopped, not knowing whether I should continue to climb. After a while, she said lightly, "Why did you say sorry?" "Last time at China Doll, when you came to collect the cups, I thought you were a dancer, so..." I thought about it for a while and said directly, "So I'm sorry. 』 She snorted and said, "If I was a dancer, you wouldn't have to say sorry?"

I was slightly taken aback and didn't answer.She still stood where she was, without moving her body or footsteps. "Why do you look down on dance girls?" She emphasized, "Why?" "No..." I felt a little guilty. "You guys go to places that you think are inappropriate," she finally turned to face me, "It's ridiculous to look down on the people who work in those places." I felt a little ashamed and couldn't answer. "You look down on people who work in China Dolls, and I also look down on people who go to China Dolls to play."

After she finished speaking, she pushed open the iron gate of the yard and left. I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses, and slowly climbed back to the upstairs room step by step. Go back to the room and lie on the bed. Thinking of the conversation with Shi Xiangyi and Li Shanlan, I couldn't help feeling: It turns out that peacocks are not only looked down upon by humans, but also by each other. Fell asleep vaguely, woke up and it was daylight. After washing and going downstairs, Li Shanlan just pushed the door open and walked out just after stepping on the last step with her right foot.

I saw her mentioning the black baggage I had seen, and I thought she would probably go to Taipei to set up a stall again. "Are you going to Taipei? "I asked. She glanced at me and reluctantly hummed. "Do you want me to give you a ride?" ’ I went to the locomotive, 『This way you can save money on taxis. 』 "I can save money by walking." After she left the words coldly, she walked out of the door with her head held high. I'm a little unhappy. I knew that the rent should be 4,500, not 4,000. Maybe because I was in a bad mood that day, I stayed up all night at school and went home to sleep at noon the next day.

Who knew that not long after lying down, when he saw the entrance to the dreamland, he was woken up by the sound of a thud coming from the floor. I was so angry that I kicked the quilt away and rushed downstairs. I want to make it clear to her and ask her to call me in a normal way instead of knocking on the ceiling. If she knocks like this again, one day the floor will be damaged, and she will explain it to the landlord herself. I came to the door of her room, the door was ajar, and I saw her sitting. She held a small bottle of something in her hand, the bottle was transparent and only the size of a finger.

I saw her turn the bottle around with a look of contentment on her face. She saw me, said please come in, and put the bottle of stuff gently on the table. "I've wanted this bottle of perfume for a long time and finally bought it today," she said. "What's up? "I say. "The pants are sold out," she said. "What pants? 』 "The jeans that should have sold for 190 turned out to be sold for 490." "Oh. ". "I was skeptical at first, but I didn't expect the business to be really good." She picked up the bottle of perfume again, and seemed to like it more and more, and handed it to me to watch.

I looked down, and coincidentally, it was the same brand as the bottle of perfume that Shi Xiangyi bought for me. "I'm so stupid to not think that it would be better to raise the price," she said. "yes. ’ I said, returning the perfume to her. She glanced at me and said, "I say I'm stupid, but I'm being humble." "I said you were stupid, but I was honest. 』 She looked at me for a while longer, as if wondering that I should be making fun of her. "It's okay." She shrugged. "I'm in a good mood, and I want to thank you."

"How thank you? 』 "Here are these jeans for you," she said. "I saved these for a special purpose. You should be able to wear them." "that's it? 』 "Hey, one piece costs 490. A man wants to buy it, but I'm not selling it yet." "You really have principles. 』 I took the jeans, dark blue straight, and the waist was just my size. "Did I say thank you?" she said. "Forget it. 』 "Then I'll say it again," she said, "thank you." "You're welcome. "I say. I let out a breath, and the ruthlessness I had just rushed downstairs has long since disappeared. "I don't like people thinking that I'm a casual woman just because I work in China Doll." "The time I went to China Doll, I was taken by a friend. I had never heard of this store before. 』 "I just want to make more money, even though I don't like that store." "After I have been there once, there will be no next time. 』 "I scolded you too harshly." "I shouldn't look at you strangely. 』 We talked our own way, almost no intersection. After a while of silence, we said in unison: "Sorry." This is the only intersection.
