"2 sets?" The sales assistant did not expect Shin jian to be so generous. She immediately smiled and said: "Please wait a while."
"Wait."Xu Fanqia was stunned and then gave Shin jian a slap on the back of his head. "What are you doing? It's costly."
Shin jian rubbed his head. "It's fine as long as you like it. I had never given you any gifts before. Now I have some money, just let me give you something."
"You are buying this phone for me? I don't want it. You have just started work, and you should not be spending your money like this."Xu Fanqia turned to the sales assistant. "Sorry, we don't want it."
Shin jian ignored her and said: "We want. Please issue the receipt."
Xu Fanqia raised her hand in anger. "I will hit you."
"Even if you knock me out, I will also buy this iPhone 4 for you."
"You..."Xu Fanqia turned her head around and ignore Shin jian.
Shin jian chose the color of the phone, the screen protector and also the leather casing. After making the payments, the sales assistant took out the iPhones to do the setup. Shin jian thought buying a phone was a quick and easy thing. All he needs to do was to pay for it. Apple phones need a different size sim card, put on the screen protector and register online. It was very troublesome.
After a while, the sales assistant smiled toXu Fanqia: "iPhone's sim card is different from our phones. Can you give me your sim card? I need to cut it smaller."
Xu Fanqia kept quiet.
Shin jian smiled and touchedXu Fanqia's elbow. "Why are you behaving like this?"
Xu Fanqia continued to ignore him.
Shin jian rolled his eyes. "I have already paid for it, and there are no refunds. If you really don't want it, I will give it to someone else."
Xu Fanqia glanced at him and gave him a knock on his head. "You are wasting your money." She paused for a while and then took out her handphone slowly from her handbag. She took out the sim card and pass it to the sales assistant. "Do you have other colors for the leather casing? Can I take a look? Hmmm... This is nicer. Yes, we will take this... Oh, do you have movies and songs here... help us store it in the phones too…... yes... Thank you..."
Half an hour later,Xu Fanqia was playing with her iPhone 4. She really likes it.
Shin jian smiled happily: "Aunt Xuan, this iPhone 4 looks nicer when you are holding it in your hands. I think Apple should get you to endorse their phones." If it were the past Shin jian who was still in University, he would never say such things. But after working for the government, he learned how to speak pleasant words to others.
Xu Fanqia laughed and rolled her eyes. "No more next time." She casually wrapped her hand around Shin jian's arm. "Our Xiao jianhad grown up and can earn money. He also knows how to buy gifts for others. Hahaha... When our Xiao jianbecomes a great leader, I will also be proud."
She was holding on to Shin jian's arm, and Shin jian was nervous.
This was the first time a girl was holding onto his arms.
At about 9 pm, Shin jian andXu Fanqia reached home, and they placed the shopping bags on the coffee table.
Xu Fanqia sat on Shin jian's home sofa and played with her new phone. "The shop was closing just now and could not find the songs I wanted. Xiao Bing, tomorrow help me download some songs from the internet. I want to use it as my ringtone." She stood up and used her phone to take some selfies. She showed her pictures to Shin jian and asked. "How is it?"
Shin jian smiled: "No matter how you take the pictures, it will also turn out beautiful."
Xu Fanqia laughed. "You really know how to cheer me up."
"I am telling you the truth. No matter if it is a 300,000 pixels camera or a 5 million pixels camera, you will still look pretty."
"Nonsense." Qu Yuxuan rolled her eyes and pulled Shin jian closer to her on the sofa. She wrapped her arm around Shin jian's arm and lifted the phone higher to take a selfie. "Smile when you are taking pictures with me."
Shin jian could feel his arm pressing againstXu Fanqia's breast. He forced a smile, and it looks weird.
After the picture was taken,Xu Fanqia laughed. "What is wrong with this expression? You look stupid."
Shin jian blushed and thought to himself. You are pressing against me and how can I not be nervous?
After playing with the phone for a while,Xu Fanqia kept phone and start to pack the newly bought clothes. She packed the clothes int Shin jian's closet and cut those patched and faded clothes into small pieces of clothes. "It is a waste to throw these clothes away. I will cut them into small pieces, and you can use them as rags to wipe the tables."Xu Fanqia monthly salary was not low, but she was a thrifty person.
This was also why Shin jian was attracted to her. He looked atXu Fanqia and stuttered: "Aunt Xuan... I... I like..."
Xu Fanqia shook the rag in her hands and turned around: "What did you say?"
"I like... like..." Shin jian was sweating. But he could not say the full sentence.Xu Fanqia was the prettiest woman he ever met in his life. She had a good figure, kind-hearted, a good career, etc. She does not have anything bad about her. Shin jian really wanted to take her as his bride and wanted to confess to her. But their relationship had just evolved from being good neighbors to close friends. If he confessed to her, she might feel uncomfortable and, in the future, they might no longer be as close as now. This was not something Shin jian wanted to see.
Shin jian remembered that he still had not used BACK today.
IfXu Fanqia rejects him, he can still use BACK to turn back the time. This way, both of them will not feel awkward.
That's right. This should do it.
"What did you say? Wash (Wash and like sound similar in Chinese)?"Xu Fanqia laughed. "You have dirty laundries to wash?" Why are you stuttering and so shy?"
Xu Fanqia ignored him and walked to the washroom to pick up Shin jian's dirty socks and underwear. "Ok. Leave these to me. Is there anything else you need me to help you wash?"
Shin jian wanted to bury his head in a hole on the ground. He rushed forward and tried to take back his socks and underwear. "I can wash these myself."
"Go away."Xu Fanqia moved her shoulders to avoid Shin jian. But she shouted "ouch" when she moved her shoulders. "Stop trying to snatch these clothes. My neck hurts."
Shin jian panicked. "Are you okay? I'm sorry. I did not hurt you on purpose."
Xu Fanqia sat down and massage her neck: "It's not your fault. I have been having neck pains for a while."
Shin jian felt guilty. "Let me help you massage your neck."
"No need. It should get better after a good night sleep."
"No..." Shin jian replied. "Go and lie down in the room. I will massage you."
Xu Fanqia hesitated and agreed. "Hahaha…. Ok."
Shin jian took in a deep breath and readied himself to confess to her.
