Chapter 26 A Christmas gift for you

"Uncle, can it be cheaper and easier to cut? I sincerely want it!"

"xd You are not being kind. We are all fellow villagers. The price I gave you... is already the cost price. You can't let me do a loss-making business, right?"

You businessmen are all thieves.

Cost price...believe it, ghost!

It would be fine if you didn't say "I'm a student, send me as a gift".

Chen Ling smiled and patted the acoustic guitar he was interested in.

"Brother Boss, I've only been in Tokyo for a short time. I'm still a student. I don't have much money. I'll give you as much or as little as you want."

"Then...a thousand less?"

"The boss is so kind. Otherwise, if it were five hundred less and a zero, the number would look comfortable."

The boss frowned and realized that something was not right.

"You boy..."

Chen Ling had quickly put the guitar in his bag, zipped it up, and then took out the silver bank card.

"The boss is awesome! Just swipe your card."

Damn it, you old fritter.

And he just said that the price does not include the guitar bag, right?
  "By the way, boss, do you have any recording equipment and cameras here? If so, it's cheaper!"

"..."

……

The sky has completely darkened, and the neon colors shine on the faces of every pedestrian.

Chen Ling was carrying a black guitar bag and stood out among the crowd. The feeling of being noticed when he was in college is back!
  But there is no wx for you to add.

The two of them were walking back to the supermarket to pick up groceries.

When there are more people, there will be some obstacles in the communication between Chen Ling and Rika Shona. They need to communicate through the translation program of their mobile phones. It is still very strange to show each other the mobile phone screen while walking.

No matter how thick the clothes he wore, Chen Ling could still clearly feel the feeling when the shoulders were touching.

There is a slight fragrance surrounding him. I wonder if he will be infected with the same smell after living in the same room for a long time.

The walk back to the supermarket is a little further, and the two stores are on different sides.

The sound of bells ringing from everywhere seems to indicate that the light velvet-like snow is flying down from the sky.

"Chen...Ling."

The eldest lady's voice reached my ears.

"Ok?"

"Mobile phone (Japanese.)"

Does this mean you want to communicate with yourself?
  Although it was a little inconvenient, he still did it.

Who told Chen Ling to dote on the eldest lady so much?

“(Isn’t this guitar 11500 yen?)”

"Yeah, what's wrong? (Japanese)"

This way of chatting attracted the attention of some passers-by, whose eyes wandered back and forth between the "idiot couple".

With such a close distance and a unique way of chatting, in the eyes of others, what else could they be than a couple?
  Just like Hayami's classmates thought when they first met them.

“(When I swiped my card just now, I was only given 10000.)”

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was on the line with his boss. For Miss Lixiang, the entire conversation was encrypted. Since the conversation was very colloquial, even a translator might not be able to understand it.

"Well, the boss is very nice. He gave me a little less money."

After translating, he handed the phone to Sister Lixiang to look at.

However, the boss refused to let go of the audio and video equipment no matter what, so he had to pay full price.

The eldest lady's eyes showed doubts.

Maybe there is no such custom here in Tokyo, everyone is fixed price. As for a girl like Rika Shona, there is no such thing as bargaining.

"This method is called bargaining over there."

"Bargain... price?"

Just straighten your tongue a little more.

Sister Lixiang's curiosity always grows in strange places.

"It doesn't matter what the form is, as long as it saves money."

Rika Takina pursed her lips and said no more.

The recording equipment was brand new. Including this second-hand guitar, Chen Ling spent a total of more than 20,000 yen. The last reward of 100,000 yen given by the system was instantly reduced by one-fifth.

In fact, he had thought about returning the pocket money that the eldest lady had saved, but it would be difficult to explain where he suddenly got so much money.

Moreover, if the expenses related to the purchase of food ingredients and business development such as today are really paid back, it would be troublesome to divide them back and forth.

It's better to help keep it yourself (dense fog).

Mainly because the eldest lady didn't seem to want to ask him to return it?
  Chen Ling returned to the supermarket and picked up the plastic bag, and suddenly realized that he kept his bank card, cleaned the room, and took care of three meals a day. Hey... isn't he just a full-time househusband? I'm super.

No matter what, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Faced with poverty and loss of "dignity", Chen Ling chose to eat soft rice without hesitation.

Really fragrant.

Every time he and Li Xiang go out, there is a large-scale purchasing scene. Chen Ling now not only carries a heavy guitar on his back, but also carries a handbag containing audio and video equipment in his hand, and a plastic bag in the other hand.

Walking beside Lixiang, Chen Ling slumped his shoulders and looked like he was struggling. While sighing, he cast a vague look at the black-haired young lady, but the other party just glanced at him sideways and continued. status quo.

Isn't this equivalent to making it clear?

Sister Lixiang, help me!

It’s not that it’s heavy, but at least you have the intention to share it, right?

Or...she did it on purpose.

He obviously said not to recall that incident again.

Double standard!

"Wait a minute! (Japanese)"

Lixiang looked at him sideways, her big eyes staring at the scratches on Chen Ling's cheek that had not yet healed.

Chen Ling pursed his lips to one side. That was the bookstore where he bought books last time.

"I, buy something. (Japanese)"

"(so what?)"

He raised the plastic bag in his hand.

The eldest lady's face was expressionless, but she squinted her eyes slightly. She stretched out her hands and covered Chen Ling's right hand holding the bag. The cold and soft touch made Chen Ling's heart feel a little itchy.

Her slender fingers passed through Chen Ling's fingers and carried the plastic bag on his behalf.

"(You can let go.)"

"Huh? Oh."

I don’t understand, but I understand what she means.

"Then I went?"

"Not too long."

"OK!"

Isn't this bag heavy?

Chen Ling opened the door and entered the bookstore with a satisfied smile.

[If there are too many people, you can wait for me at the street corner. 】

After translating this sentence, send it to Rika Shona.

【why? 】

【I have to wait a while. 】

The eldest lady did not reply, maybe she was speechless towards Chen Ling.

It doesn't matter if she goes back first. In fact, Chen Ling already remembers the way. When the time comes, he will take the subway back, and then lie that he took a taxi, so that his secret will not be exposed.

"Boss, I'm here again."

……

After Chen Ling finished his work, more than ten minutes had passed. He had no choice but to wait in line for a while.

I didn't see the eldest lady when I left the bookstore just now. She may have gone home.

Wrap your things and head to the door.

He didn't expect this stuff to be quite popular in Tokyo.

Next, take the subway home.

But not far from the intersection, he saw her under the streetlight where the two of them had been waiting.

"rika?"

Chen Ling walked quickly, just in time to meet the eyes of Naomi Lixiang.

She stared at what Chen Ling was holding.

"This? (Japanese)"

Chen Ling pushed the thing in his hand to her.

"Do you like it? This is my Christmas gift for you."

The light brown syrup, after solidification, is only supported by a wooden stick. They twist and turn to form a small and familiar pattern.

"Merry Christmas, Lixiang!"

 Everyone keeps books and helps me to read them, qaq~
