Chapter 186 Two Strings of Bracelets
"Liu Qing, what are you doing?" Gu Manling looked at Liu Qing blankly.
"How can a woman pay for shopping?" Liu Qing said with a smile.
"I'll charge you four hundred, give you seventy-two, sir, please take it." The store owner smiled and gave Liu Qing the change, and then put the lighter into the packaging box.
"No need to install it, can you give me a bottle of lighter fluid?" Liu Qing said to the shop owner.
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't give away lighter fluid. You need to buy it separately. There are some that cost thirty yuan a bottle and some that cost fifty yuan a bottle."
"With the way you do business, I won't buy from you if I want to buy something." After Liu Qing finished speaking, he took the lighter and walked out of the store.
"Liu Qing, what do you mean? We finally came to Dali, can't I buy you something as a souvenir?" Gu Manling complained as she followed Liu Qing.
"How can I have the nerve to ask you to give me such an expensive thing?"
"Then..." Gu Manling stepped forward and took Liu Qing's arm, "Then can you buy me something?"
Liu Qing frowned, "Buying something for you? Why? There must be a reason?"
"Let's just say...friends."
"friend?"
Seeing Liu Qing's frown, Gu Manling felt very unhappy and said, "Is that okay if I'm just a colleague?"
"Are there any colleagues like this?" Liu Qing shook the arm held by Gu Manling.
Gu Manling reluctantly let go of Liu Qing's hand, looking very sad.
Liu Qing couldn't bear to see her like that and said, "Tell me, what do you want? Let's agree first that we can only buy things worth less than fifty yuan."
"Fifty? What can you buy with fifty dollars?"
"Don't go too far. You can buy a lot of things with fifty yuan. You can choose it yourself. If you pay for anything over fifty yuan, you can pay for it yourself."
"Okay!" Gu Manling nodded, "Fifty is fifty, etiquette is less important than affection. I understand this truth."
"Wrong, the courtesy is light and the friendship is not important. It's just a gift for a colleague, don't think too much about it." Liu Qing said solemnly.
"Okay, let's go shopping and see if we can buy something I like within fifty yuan." Gu Manling said and took Liu Qing's arm again.
"Relax, men and women do not interact with each other, and you are alone and alone. You are not ugly. Don't lead me to make mistakes." Liu Qing shook his arm again.
Gu Manling was happy after hearing this, "If you want to make a mistake, make it, I don't blame you!" As she said this, she held Liu Qing tighter.
"Miss, don't think that men are all beasts. You must have principles. There are rules for what you should do under any circumstances."
"Correction, men are not beasts, they are animals. However, if you expose your beastly nature in front of me, I will not blame you."
"No way, are you so casual?"
Gu Manling pretended to be angry, "How can this be casual? I like you, and it is natural to dedicate myself to the people I like."
"Ouch, I have goosebumps all over my body, please let me go!" Liu Qing reached out and took away Gu Manling's hand.
"Liu Qing, don't go too far. Am I, Gu Manling, really that bad?" Gu Manling was really angry this time.
"Do you want a gift? If you want, just follow me obediently and honestly."
Gu Manling was helpless and thought to herself, who said she liked her? So she had no choice but to follow Liu Qing and wander around the streets of the ancient city at night.
In fact, in the streets of the ancient city of Dali, fifty yuan can buy many small things that girls like. However, in order to hang out with Liu Qing for a while, Gu Manling always deliberately misses the items she likes. Unknowingly,
During her sleep, she and Liu Qing visited almost every corner of the streets of the ancient city.
In the end, the two of them spent 60 yuan on a bracelet in a jewelry store. The store owner said it was made of agate stone. Only he knew whether it was true or false. Anyway, it looked quite beautiful, and Gu Manling liked it very much.
.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Qing made a phone call to Ah Dian. Knowing that they were about to arrive at their residence, he urged Gu Manling, who was still looking around with interest, to go back quickly.
Gu Manling also felt that it was almost done. She glanced at the bracelet on her hand again and followed Liu Qing towards her residence with satisfaction.
As soon as they entered the door of the B&B, they heard the intermittent sound of cucurbit flutes. They guessed that someone among Ah Dian and the others had bought cucurbit flutes.
"A Bing must have bought it. She likes music the most among these people." Liu Qing said.
"That's not necessarily true. Do you think she is the only one who likes music? Maybe it's Ah Yun."
"Just go upstairs and have a look and you'll find out."
When the two walked to the second floor, they saw everyone on the balcony. The person playing the cucurbit flute was not Ah Bing or Ah Yun, but the little guy Ajie.
"Uncle Liu Qing, Aunt Gu, do you know how to play this thing?" Ajie asked.
Liu Qing and Gu Manling both shook their heads.
"So many of you don't know how to play, and no one taught me. It seems that I bought this Hulusi for nothing." Ajie complained.
"It doesn't matter, just treat it as a toy." Liu Qing said.
Immediately, Liu Qing said: "You guys play first, I'll go to the toilet."
Seeing Liu Qing running downstairs, Gu Manling shouted: "There is a toilet upstairs, don't go down there!"
Liu Qing turned around and said: "I like to be downstairs for convenience and grounding!"
Everyone laughed, "Damn Liu Qing!" Gu Manling cursed.
In fact, Liu Qing did not go to the toilet. After he came to the courtyard downstairs, he quietly slipped out of the gate and ran straight to the streets of the ancient city.
While shopping with Gu Manling just now, they fell in love with a bracelet in a jewelry store, which was strung with deep red and translucent agate stones. The round agate stones looked very beautiful.
Gu Manling also liked that bracelet, but because the price was too high, Liu Qing refused to bleed it on her body, and it would be meaningless for her to buy it herself.
So, later they spent 60 yuan on that bracelet in another ordinary jewelry store. Although it was also very beautiful, it was incomparable to the expensive one.
At this point, Liu Qing kept talking about overspending by ten yuan, and Gu Manling gave him a lot of big looks at that time.
On the way back to his residence, Liu Qing kept thinking about the bracelet, imagining that it would be very beautiful on Chen Lan's hand.
At that time, he wanted to go back and buy it, but Gu Manling was by his side. If you buy dozens of pieces for someone, and then take them back to buy more than a thousand as gifts for others, Gu Manling will be so angry that she vomits blood.
Strange.
Even if she went to buy it behind Gu Manling's back and let her know about it later, it would be enough for her, but there was nothing she could do about it. Liu Qing liked that bracelet so much that he couldn't care less about the woman he liked.
Liu Qing thought that with Gu Manling's character, he would definitely show off the sixty-dollar bracelet in front of Chen Lan. This would prove that he was interested in Gu Manling.
In order to prevent Chen Lan from misunderstanding, and to distinguish the different weights between the two of them in his heart, he had to buy this agate bracelet worth more than a thousand yuan.
Liu Qing knew that Chen Lan would come to the ancient city early tomorrow morning. He had to buy the bracelet before Chen Lan arrived in the ancient city. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to buy it after she knew that Gu Manling had received his gift.
Same.
