People are really weird.
Ding Siyue has seen others give brand-name bags and expensive jewelry to their girlfriends. When she was in college, she also saw rich men giving luxury cars to the school beauties, and heard of rich men giving houses to the school beauties.
Apart from saying "Wow" like everyone else, these things did not cause any ripples in her heart.
She didn't know these people, they were far away from her life, they were just like legends and they had nothing to do with her.
However, a toy Xu Zhiyi received during the Mid-Autumn Festival broke her heart.
People don't want others to live better than themselves, but they don't want others around them to live better than themselves.
Isn’t it just a simulated giant panda toy?
It’s only worth a fraction of brand-name bags and jewelry, and has nothing to do with luxury cars or real estate. What’s so sad about it?
Don’t you just spend half a month’s salary?
Humph, Xu Zhiyi’s boyfriend gave it to her, and her boyfriend could afford it.
However, after being in love with him for more than six years, he always knew that she liked giant pandas. Why, he never thought about being extravagant on a certain festival and buying her such a gift to please her.
At least buy it for her birthday.
Just once.
This morning, during a video chat with her boyfriend, she deliberately held a simulated panda for her boyfriend to see, and kept saying that she envied Xu Zhiyi. After so many years, she really wished that her boyfriend could give her such a gift.
Her boyfriend had always thought that what Ding Siyue wanted was at most a hundred dollars. After all, her salary was at that level and her spending habits had always been the same.
Therefore, he casually said: "Okay, it's just a stuffed toy. My husband will buy it for you. Send me the link and I'll place the order right away."
Ding Siyue didn't expect that he would agree so happily, and she was extremely pleasantly surprised. It was as if she felt once again that when they first fell in love, her boyfriend showed love to her that was responsive to her every request.
This joy lasted less than two minutes.
When her boyfriend saw the price of the toy, he didn't bother to pretend, he frowned and cursed:
"Ding Siyue, are you crazy? Such a piece of junk is worth more than 1,800 yuan. It's such an expensive thing and it's not practical at all. You have the nerve to ask me for it.
Ever since I met you, you have always liked to compare yourself with others. I didn’t expect that after working for so many years, you still don’t recognize the reality, and you are still vain. No wonder my mother said that you are not practical, you don’t know how to live, and you can’t be my wife. "
Ding Siyue exploded instantly, smashing Huahua onto the water-stained ground, pointing at the phone screen and yelling curses.
The two began to quarrel fiercely, picking each other's shortcomings, and when they lost their minds, they would curse whatever words could hurt each other's heart.
"Break up, I'll break up with you, scumbag, mama's boy!"
"Divide it, who's afraid of whom? Ding Siyue, I said something ugly earlier. From now on, even if you don't want a cent of the bride price, if you pay it back, I won't even want you. Humph, I've slept with you, so what can you do? of!"
The man hung up the video, and Ding Siyue's face turned red from suppressing it. She walked back and forth on the floor of the dormitory. When she saw the water-stained toy, she stepped on it a few times, picked it up again, and started crying while holding it.
Li Lu and Liu Yuanyuan were scared out of the dormitory by her.
To be honest, if Xu Zhiyi had been there at that time, he might have said a few words of comfort, and if he found an opportunity, he would have slipped out like the two of them.
She actually knew that the four of them had lived together for a year and got along quite well, but they could not become good friends.
The adult world is like this. At this age, it is not easy to risk a heart-to-heart relationship.
What's more, a year later, they were going back and forth from where they were, with no real-life intersection of interests.
Quite plastic.
There is nothing wrong with plastic things. They are easy to get and meet immediate needs. When the time comes, just throw them away. It will not hurt your body or hurt your body.
Xu Zhiyi can quite understand Ding Siyue's mood.
To be honest, this is also the first time she has received such a gift.
It was beyond her knowledge.
It has nothing to do with more than 1,800 yuan.
For example, she spent more than 1,800 yuan to buy a second-hand air conditioner for her home, spent more than 1,800 yuan to replace the broken wooden bed in the house, and paid more than 1,800 yuan for medical expenses when her grandparents were hospitalized. fee.
Currently, she cannot afford to spend more than 1,800 yuan to replace the Xiaomi phone in the hands of her mother, Li Zijuan.
She had never thought about spending more than 1,800 yuan to buy a simulated giant panda toy.
No matter how much she liked Huahua, she never thought about it and didn't dare to think about it.
It is an extravagant hope. If you continue to persist in it, it will become greed. If you cannot get it, you will suffer.
She didn't want to torture herself.
However, she once helped Xu Zhian satisfy this small extravagance.
Boys seem to have a certain preference for shoes.
Xu Zhian knew his family situation, and he wasn't particular about food and clothing, as long as he could get by.
Besides, he is handsome, even if he wears a T-shirt worth twenty or thirty dollars, he still looks good.
But since high school, he has wanted a pair of Nike shoes, which cost more than 800 yuan. It was something he didn't dare to think about, and he never dared to mention it in front of his family.
Just take a look at the pictures of shoes on a certain cat to quench your thirst after a while.
Xu Zhiyi actually knew it all along.
In Xu Zhian's second year of high school, Xu Zhiyi used her saved salary to secretly buy him a pair of Nike shoes as a birthday gift.
After receiving this gift, Xu Zhian was happy until he graduated from a vocational college, and he still regards the shoes as a treasure.
Xu Zhiyi could only give him such luxury once.
She suddenly realized that it seemed that she was willing to spend such impractical money for Xu Zhian, but she was reluctant to spend it on herself.
Thinking of this, she enlightened Ding Siyue.
"Siyue, let me ask you, can you afford Huahua?"
Ding Siyue couldn't cry anymore, sniffed and said: "Nonsense, even if our salary is not high, of course we can afford it if we are determined to buy it."
"Then are you willing to spend more than 1,800 yuan to buy this stuffed toy for yourself?"
Ding Siyue shook her head without thinking, "I can't bear it. I can't eat or drink."
"Then why do you have to ask your boyfriend to buy it for you? His income is about the same as you and me, and his consumption concept is similar to ours, right?"
Ding Siyue became excited, "That's different. He is my boyfriend. If he really loves me, he shouldn't care about me so much. He should be willing to spend money for me. Besides, I don't want it every day for so many years. Well, just this time, he didn’t agree, wuwuwu..."
Xu Zhiyi was a little confused, whether what she said was right or wrong, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Ding Siyue suddenly stopped crying, turned around and looked at Xu Zhiyi angrily, and said dissatisfied:
"No, Xu Zhiyi, what do you mean when you say that? Are you looking down on people? Why is it natural that your boyfriend buys it for you, but my boyfriend becomes a 'must'? What does your boyfriend do? Is he so amazing? "
