Rong Xi's face froze, obviously he didn't expect that his invincible move in front of Mi Shichu failed, but he couldn't show any displeasure, so he recovered quickly, put on a smile again, and looked at him affectionately At the beginning of the meal, he said, "Okay, I'll go check out now. You wait for me here first."
Rong Xi walked very slowly, probably thinking that Mi Shichu would suddenly and "considerately" call him out and go and pay for it himself. However, Mi Shichu stood there, looking at his back quietly, without speaking at all. .
No matter how slow he walked, it didn't take him two minutes to get to the front desk. When the waiter handed him the bill, when he saw the bill that was enough to equal his monthly salary, he felt extremely distressed. This restaurant Originally a relatively high-spending person, he thought Mi Shichu would pay the bill, so he didn't restrain himself at all. He just ordered whatever he wanted. Of course he wouldn't feel bad spending Mi Shichu's money. In addition, he also ordered a very expensive bottle. of wine...
Now, he wished he could go back to ordering drinks and tell himself to stop. No matter how distressed he was, he had to pay the bill because he didn't want to lose face in front of Mi Shichu, let alone be discovered by her that he was so stingy.
After paying the money, Rong Xi put on his gentle smile again and walked towards Mi Shichu gracefully, thinking about what excuse he would use to get the money back from Mi Shichu, saying that his mother was sick and had no money to treat her? No, this excuse has been used; he said that for his sister’s birthday, her only wish was for a pair of sneakers. Of course, the pair of sneakers must be famous brands, the kind that cost several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. He pretended to be embarrassed, Let Mi Shichu take the initiative to speak...
Having made up his mind, Rong Xi quickly put it into action.
After coming out of the restaurant, the two of them walked slowly along the street to eat. Just when Mi Shichu was about to find an excuse to leave, Rong Xi started to perform.
He first took out his mobile phone, took a look at it, and then frowned tightly, looking very embarrassed.
He maintained this expression for several minutes, waiting for Mi Shichu to find out and ask. However, he waited for a long time until his face froze. Mi Shichu seemed not to see him and did not take the initiative to ask him. There is no way to say that excuse logically.
Rong Xi was very anxious. Seeing that this embarrassed expression could not attract Mi Shichu's attention, he began to look at Mi Shichu as if he was hesitant to speak.
Mi Shichu silently enjoyed his performance for several minutes. Finally, having seen enough, he finally asked what Rong Xi had been waiting for for a long time: "What's wrong with you? Has anything happened to embarrass you?"
Rong Xi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but with a helpless look on his face, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my sister who is in high school is having her birthday soon, and she wants a pair of brand-name sneakers as a gift. Those shoes are really good." It’s too expensive and cannot be afforded by our family. My sister is really not sensible at all..."
Rong Xi shouted with anticipation in his heart: Tell me you will pay to buy it for me!
However, Mi Shichu nodded in agreement and said: "You are right, your sister is indeed a bit ignorant. I heard you said that your family's conditions are not very good. Your father works in other places and your mother works at home. You earn a lot of money all year round." It’s less than 10,000 yuan, but your sister wants brand-name sneakers, which is a bit inconsiderate of her parents.”
Rong Xi's face froze immediately. Hearing these words that were completely contrary to his expectations, he could hardly maintain the expression on his face. He took a deep breath and had to say with a stiff smile: "You are right, but It's understandable. Nowadays, high school students are very good at comparing themselves. My sister has never worn any brand-name clothes or shoes before, and she is often looked down upon by her classmates. This time she just couldn't stand it anymore, so she did it on her birthday. She asked for brand-name sneakers. Nowadays, teenagers have very strong self-esteem. I am afraid that if her birthday wish does not come true, she will do something irreversible..."
Rong Xi looked sad, as if he was a good brother who cared about his sister. However, no one knew that he was just using his sister as an excuse to make money from Mi Shichu.
Mi Shichu had seen through his trick early on, but just didn't want him to get his way, so after hearing his words, he said sympathetically: "Then as his brother, you have to work hard to help her buy brand-name sneakers."
Rong Xi was very disappointed that Mi Shichu still didn't understand what he meant. At this time, he hated her innocence and complained in his heart that she had no emotional intelligence at all. She shouldn't take the initiative and talk about this brand at this time. Did she pay for the sneakers? Anyway, this little money is nothing to her...
He was disappointed. Mi Shichu didn't ask to give him money, so he had nothing to do. In the end, he had to take the initiative. Looking embarrassed, he said to Mi Shichu: "Shichu, can you lend me some money?" ?My sister finally made a birthday wish, and I don’t want to disappoint her.”
Mi Shichu said to him with a serious face: "Rong Xi, your idea is wrong, because your sister's request is very unrealistic. You should educate her to be down-to-earth and not to be greedy for vanity and spend things that you can't afford." . If you want to realize her wish now, it will easily encourage her vanity, which is not conducive to her growth. As her brother, you should persuade her, how can you just follow her? "
Rong Xi's face heated up at Mi Shichu's righteous words, and he was almost angry with embarrassment. Fortunately, he still had reason and knew that not only could he not refute, but he had to agree with her, but by agreeing with her, he would not be able to achieve his goal. This left Rong Xi speechless for a moment.
But Mi Shichu said to himself: "It seems that you agree with what I said? Let me just say, you must be a good brother. If you try to persuade your sister, she will figure it out."
Rong Xi could only smile with a stiff face, but there seemed to be a breath that he couldn't hold back in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that this time there was no excuse for Mi Shichu to pay him, Rong Xi no longer wanted to accompany the eldest lady, so he quickly found an excuse to say goodbye to Mi Shichu.
Mi Shichu wanted him to leave early, so he saw him off happily.
After returning home, Mi's father was already waiting for her in the living room. Seeing her come back with a happy face, he said angrily: "Going on a date with that Rong Xi again? I told you he's not a good person. , why don’t you believe it at all?”
"Dad, I replied this time. He is indeed not a good person." Mi Shichu said.
"What?" Mi's father couldn't believe his ears. His daughter had finally enlightened and no longer believed that Phoenix man in everything?
