Chapter 127: Holding a grudge
"Put the things in your bag first. It's inconvenient for me to carry them."

Xu Mingyuan opened her cloth bag embroidered with a cat head and threw her wallet, cell phone and keys into it.

"Be careful, you broke my phone."

Hearing a bump, Tao Shuxin looked at the corner of the phone with concern and carefully placed it in a compartment without sharp objects.

"What's the big deal about a cell phone? After a couple of days when you've had enough of it, this crappy cell phone will be treated just like your little PHS."

Even the best mobile phones nowadays do not have as many functions as the one-hundred-yuan phones in twenty years, but Xu Mingyuan still looks down on these junk.

"I won't." Tao Shuxin saw the cell phone squeezed to the side in her bag, took it out and said, "Hey, the cell phone chain you gave me doesn't work anymore."

"If it doesn't light up, just buy another one, it's only a dozen bucks."

"You also know it's only over ten yuan? Then you lied to me and said you bought it with great difficulty!"

Tao Shuxin glared at him angrily.

When she went traveling this time, there were small stalls selling these luminous cell phone chains all over the roadside. Thinking of how he had fooled her at the beginning, Tao Shuxin felt a little itchy in her palms.

This bad guy! He must be deceiving me!
"I'm not lying to you. It was really hard to buy at that time. This was given as a gift from the mobile phone sales counter. It would have been very difficult to buy it yourself."

"Oh wow, it's a gift!"

Tao Shuxin clenched her teeth, wishing she could bite him right now.

"Don't gifts cost money too? Stop staring at me, it's like a cowbell. It should be ok for me to give you another one this time, right?"

"Not sincere at all, huh."

Although Tao Shuxin complained, she didn't seem angry.

If the last time was just an inadvertent test, then this time it was a complete confirmation of the relationship.

The heart of an ignorant girl is the softest. Tao Shuxin felt so sweet at this moment that she didn't care about this little flaw at all.

Tao Shuxin was very satisfied when she saw Xu Mingyuan taking her small shoulder bag.

But seeing him swinging it casually, Tao Shuxin patted him lightly in dissatisfaction, took back the precious little bag she had just bought, put it on her shoulder and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the strap.

Not careful at all. The things in the bag are valuable.

Tao Shuxin pouted. In her bag there was not only a cell phone and wallet, but also the special fund left by her father for buying a laptop, which amounted to almost ten thousand yuan.

Xu Mingyuan walked around to see if there were any specialty stores in the computer city.

Since the day computer malls were established, unscrupulous businesses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it is impossible to prevent them.

Not only that, even the specialty stores are colluding to cheat people.

But at least the after-sales service of specialty stores is guaranteed. For complete machines like laptops, the price is fixed when they leave the factory, so the rip-off can be less severe.

Seeing the notebooks costing seven or eight thousand yuan, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but be amazed.

The price premium of electronic products nowadays is really fierce. Sooner or later, a price war will break out, killing a batch of these manufacturers and rushing to seize the market.

Suddenly feeling a warm arm against him, Xu Mingyuan turned around and tried to break free, but she came up to him again.

"Are you hot?"

"..."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan say this, Tao Shuxin glared at him in dissatisfaction.

However, he ignored her, which made her even angrier. She patted his back with gritted teeth.

You didn’t feel hot when you kissed me just now, but you feel hot now, right?
Tao Shuxin, with her slim and graceful figure and a youthful look on her face, chased after him again.

But Xu Mingyuan grabbed her without waiting for her to make a move.

"Humph."

Tao Shuxin curled her lips and obediently opened her hands, allowing him to hold them, with a sense of shame quietly growing in her heart.

But seeing Xu Mingyuan wandering around casually, Tao Shuxin's sluggish steps also relaxed a little. They had already kissed each other, so holding hands was nothing...

However, the sounds of soliciting customers around made Tao Shuxin blush, and she regretted the bold move she had just made.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on the palms of his hands, and even Tao Shuxin himself felt a little hot. He wanted to struggle free, but was held even tighter.

Hearing Xu Mingyuan chatting with the shop owner and refusing to let go despite the owner's teasing, Tao Shuxin finally resigned herself to her fate and let him lead her, following her lead with her head down and looking at her toes like a young wife.

"What do you think of this Shenzhou laptop? It costs over 6,000 yuan. I think it's OK. More expensive ones are not practical. The cheap ones have too small screens and are uncomfortable to use."

Xu Mingyuan shook her hand, and seeing that she didn't look up, he lifted her chin with his fingers.

Aren't you usually very brave? Why are you pretending to be quiet now?

"I'm fine with either. I don't understand this, so you decide."

Tao Shuxin hit Xu Mingyuan hard with his head and decisively kicked the ball to him. After all, he was in this line of work and didn't understand it.

"Then let's go with this one. Don't go around looking for a color. Just pick one that you like."

"What colors are available?" "Black and silver, just these two. I can't choose more."

"Ah? Just two?"

Tao Shuxin frowned reluctantly, feeling so ugly.

Seeing that the deal was about to be completed, the merchant quickly explained: "Little girl, all the notebooks on the market are in these two colors. If you think they don't look good, you can buy stickers yourself. Our Shenzhou notebooks are produced by a large manufacturer, and the CPUs are all high-end products imported from abroad. Where can you find such quality in China..."

"Okay, brother, you don't have to say it. Isn't the CPU of this laptop imported from abroad? It's all assembled."

Xu Mingyuan interrupted his boasting.

After asking Tao Shuxin what she meant, and seeing that she didn't refuse, he said to the boss, "I want two silver notebooks. Can you pay with a credit card?"

"Ok, Ok."

The boss nodded repeatedly. If they bought two laptops that were used for the first three days of opening, they would be considered a big customer.

"Hey! Xu Mingyuan! This is more than 10,000 yuan. Are you just going to give it away like that? You have to bargain for it!"

Tao Shuxin was anxious. She had to bargain even when buying clothes worth dozens of dollars, let alone big pieces. She immediately freed her hand and went to bargain with the boss.

Computers at that time were all sold in physical stores, and the prices had a downward range. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan ignored him and wanted to let the girl make the decision, the boss negotiated the price with her.

After haggling over the price several times, Tao Shuxin angrily pulled Xu Mingyuan, who was sitting on a stool watching the show, and prepared to leave.

The boss finally agreed to bargain, eliminated the decimal points, and gave me a bunch of computer accessories that looked expensive but were actually very cheap.

Tao Shuxin didn't have enough money to buy two machines, so he counted out six thousand yuan and stuffed it into his wallet, and asked Xu Mingyuan to pay for it in full.

Carrying two computers out together, Tao Shuxin also held a bunch of gifts and said to him happily: "It has to be me, right? Otherwise, you will definitely waste money today."

"Yes, you are the smartest."

“That’s right.”

Tao Shuxin raised her head proudly, with her chin raised to the sky.

He also accompanied her to buy a mobile phone pendant she had been longing for, and then went shopping in the mall. During that time, He Qiong called and asked Tao Shuxin to go home quickly.

After all, he just came home from out of town, so it was impossible for him to let Tao Shuxin have fun outside.

Tao Shuxin was very depressed, but she didn't want to go against her mother. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan acted lazy whenever he went shopping, she was no longer in the mood to go shopping.

After getting in the car, Tao Shuxin's eyes suddenly lit up. She shook his wrist and said, "Let's not go drink milk tea. Let's go eat ice cream. It's the same place we had before. Do you remember?"

"At the beginning? Which at the beginning?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"It's the one where we had the watermelon milkshake last year."

Tao Shuxin felt resentful and pinched him out of frustration. Her soft fingertips didn't use much strength, and she acted like a coquettish kitten.

Don’t you remember what I like to eat?

"Oh, the one next to your house, right?"

Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized.

"Yes."

Tao Shuxin pouted.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by your mother?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"What am I afraid of? Let's go!"

Tao Shuxin said firmly.

With Tao Shuxin's angry guidance, Xu Mingyuan finally found the ice cream shop on the corner.

After parking the car on the side of the road, they got out together.

Tao Shuxin was in a very good mood.

Thinking about the starting point a year ago, which has now become a witness for the two of us, it is full of a sense of ritual.

However, Xu Mingyuan was startled and noticed that someone was looking at him, so he said to Tao Shuxin: "Taotao, why don't we eat somewhere else?"

"This is the only one nearby, hurry up!"

Tao Shuxin was very dissatisfied that Xu Mingyuan did not understand what she was thinking, so she pulled him into the store.

Soon, Tao Shuxin also saw the girl who greeted him.

After being stunned for a moment, Tao Shuxin made up her mind and touched the corner of Xu Mingyuan's mouth lightly.

But I felt it was not enough, so I pressed it again with more force.

Tao Shuxin never bears grudges, but she does remember some things...
