0066 Persistence of poor girls
After enjoying Ai Meng's admiration, Chu Fang, who was not blinded by his insignificant achievements, curled his complacency and turned to inquire about his important matter today.
"By the way, what kind of laptop are you going to buy today, or what price, and what purpose are you using?"
"ah……"
When talking about the "price", Ai Meng showed a little embarrassment on her face, and she lowered her head and replied with a little blushing:
"I, I heard that I can buy a laptop for only about 2,000 yuan now. It's not special for use. As long as it can meet the study during college, and then watch animations and films."
Speaking of animation, Ai Meng secretly raised her eyes and looked at Chu Fang. Although Chu Fang, who had been watching her gently, captured this action, he could not understand the profound meaning. As expected, no matter how careful the man was, he was still quite careless.
——In fact, Chu Fang did not completely understand the meaning of Ai Meng's small move just now, but he thought Ai Meng's glance was afraid that Chu Fang would laugh at her for being so poor that she was willing to spend two thousand yuan to buy a computer.
Indeed, now I have bought a more high-end smartphone that costs more than 2,000 yuan. Can I really use it?
"Well...two thousand..."
Hearing that Ai Meng's budget was only 2,000, Chu Fang couldn't help but frown slightly. Although he did not mock Ai Meng, he did think that 2,000 yuan was a bit too little. He probably could only buy the lowest-end laptop, which could be used to type, surf the Internet, watch videos, etc.
But for Ai Meng... this seems to be enough, and she shouldn't mind even if the speed is slower.
"If it's not enough, it's OK to be between two thousand and three thousand, but it's better not to exceed three thousand."
Seeing that Chu Fang seemed a little embarrassed, Ai Meng gritted her teeth and added another one thousand budget. Although Chu Fang didn't know much about the economic situation of Ai Meng's family, just from her usual simple dress and the budget for buying a computer today, it can be easily inferred that after her parents passed away, her family's financial conditions were not well-off.
Perhaps... she had already made a lot of blood for the hairstyle she trimmed today, as well as the new skirts and shoes that Chu Fang had never seen her wear before, so she really couldn't squeeze out much money to buy a computer.
In fact, it is really unnecessary - neither new clothes nor computers are necessary. Even if Chu Fang does not regard her as a friend, she will never look down on her because of her wealth and poverty; and she does not have to buy a computer to go back to "study" novels and animations to cater to Chu Fang's interests and hobbies.
"Speaking of this... there is nothing that requires computers in our major. If you just want to read novels or videos, just use your phone to read them."
Although two or three thousand yuan was enough to buy a lowest-end laptop, Chu Fang still tried to persuade her to give up on the idea of buying a computer. However, when he mentioned the phone, Ai Meng's face, which had already blushed, turned red without being noticed.
"Well... the phone... is too small, I think it will make my eyes worse.
For example, if three thousand is not enough, then you can only give up the idea of buying a computer for the time being.
Yes, I'm sorry... I dragged you over without investigating it clearly..."
For some reason, Ai Meng's tone seemed to be very guilty, and she was stumbled around and didn't dare to look in the direction where Chu Fang was.
Chu Fang probably forgot that although all the classmates around him often watch videos and play games with big smartphones, not all mobile phones in this world can read novels and videos, and the cost of surfing the Internet on mobile phones is much more expensive than surfing the Internet on computers. Some people can afford to buy mobile phones but can't afford to go online.
——Not even migrant workers are playing with a copycat on the bus with a bag of fake machines. Now the income of migrant workers is much higher than that of some urban residents.
"Two or three thousand is enough, but I don't think it's necessary.
Well... Anyway, I plan to buy a personal workstation today. If I buy another laptop in the same store, it should make it much cheaper. The same computer should be able to get it for one or two thousand..."
"no!"
Chu Fang did not directly say that he wanted to give Ai Meng a computer for free. Ai Meng could not accept Chu Fang's computer for free, but unexpectedly, Ai Meng even flatly rejected the proposal of "hooking up".
"Although I don't know what a personal workstation is, I can guess that it is definitely much more expensive than an ordinary laptop if the store owner is willing to reduce the price.
The wool comes from the sheep, and you actually pay for the money that the store owner lowers. How can I use your money to buy a computer?”
"That...why would I lend you my old laptop to use? Anyway, I've replaced it with a new one..."
"No! I'll just buy one for two or three thousand yuan."
Ai Meng rejected Chu Fang's proposal again, and stubbornly didn't want to get any advantage from Chu Fang. Although Chu Fang was not short of money at all and didn't mind helping her little, since Ai Meng was particularly sensitive to this aspect, he no longer used this kindness to hurt the girl's self-esteem.
Perhaps Ai Meng felt that if one friend only helped another one, then the status between the two would no longer be equal. Chu Fang could understand her persistence and appreciate her persistence. There are too many green tea bitches who hold their godfather's thighs and lick their ass for the rich, so girls like Ai Meng who are truly pure are even more valuable.
In the end, Chu Fang bought a personal workstation worth 60,000 yuan in a Harry Potter... HP store, including 45,000 yuan in a chassis and 15,000 yuan in a monitor. This was the price after a discount of nearly 10,000 yuan, which made Ai Meng so pale.
When the case and monitor were taken from Curry, the petite girl Misaka and Yuxi seemed to be very easy to move the case weighing more than 20 kilograms and the monitor weighing more than 10 kilograms. This surprised everyone, and they quietly looked at the last girl following Chu Fang - Ai Meng.
After Chu Fang bought the computer, he specially asked Misaka girl and Yuki, who were carrying a super high-end computer worth 60,000 yuan, to wait at the door first, while he continued to walk back with Ai Meng empty-handed until he could no longer see the HP store, and then he began to accompany Ai Meng to see those low-end laptops worth about 2,000 yuan.
At this time, he was quite grateful to Ai Meng for her persistence. Although Ai Meng was not his girlfriend, if he bought a personal workstation worth 60,000 yuan in HP store and asked Ai Meng to pay for a cheap laptop worth 2,000 yuan by himself, he would really become a laughing stock in the computer city, and he would not be able to explain to the other party that Ai Meng had no relationship with him at all.
What's more...even if there is no such relationship, it is embarrassing enough that a rich man like Chu Fang is unwilling to take the initiative to spend a lot of money to make the girl smile. Even Chu Fang himself feels so.
Therefore, after leaving the Computer City, Chu Fang insisted on treating Ai Meng to lunch. Although Ai Meng also insisted on the AA system at the beginning, Chu Fang did not make concessions this time, and the two taciturn "employees" such as Misaka and Yuki had no intention of paying the bills themselves at all. This finally gave Chu Fang the honor of treating Ai Meng to dinner.
In the western restaurant with a very elegant environment, Chu Fang wanted to store two eye-catching big boxes and Ai Meng's laptop at the counter, but unfortunately, the cashier of this western restaurant did not dare to let him store computers worth more than 60,000 yuan, so they were able to put these scenic things under their dining table.
Fortunately, neither Ai Meng nor the remaining two girls care about the romantic atmosphere, nor do they care about whether the Western food in this restaurant is authentic. They will be very happy as long as they can have lunch with Chu Fang.
What's more... When she saw that she didn't even dare to take a knife, Chu Fang thoughtfully cut the steak into small pieces suitable for the entrance, so that she could just eat it with a fork. This gentleness almost made Ai Meng cry, and she felt like she was dreaming.
In the afternoon, Chu Fang did not immediately say goodbye to Ai Meng with his two "employees", but instead invited her to take Youxi to buy some clothes, shoes and socks - and the most important ** pants.
Although Yuki is seven centimeters shorter than Misaka's sister, Yuki can also wear all kinds of clothes that Ningning bought for Misaka's sister before, but that is something from Misaka after all, and it is not completely suitable for Yuki's body shape. So Chu Fang felt that he should also buy some clothes of her own for Yuki.
Hearing that Yuxi, who was very strong, even asked someone to help buy her pants, Ai Meng of course showed a very surprised expression, so Chu Fang had to repeat the lie he used to deceive Ningning's family before, describing Yuxi as a divorced parents and her mother died of illness. After that, he dropped out of school and immersed himself in the ocean of 0 and 1. He was completely unable to take care of himself, which aroused Ai Meng's companion consciousness.
When she heard that Misaka's "life experience" was even worse than Yuki, she immediately became close to these two cold and taciturn girls who were more silent than her, and no longer feared the "inhuman" feeling that they both exuded.
When they were taking the bus home together, Chu Fang couldn't help but turn his face and look at her a few more times before Ai Meng got off at the station.
Although it was just a very ordinary date - in the ordinary sense, he had a lot of fun today and felt that he had learned more about this very introverted and shy girl.
However, starting from tomorrow, Ai Meng's new and beautiful image will no longer be exclusive to him alone, which is really a pity.
