On the way home, Elizabeth Liang deposited 1,500 yuan to pay back the money she owed to Evelyn Wu.
And now only 300 yuan remained, Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and planned how to use the money.
When she got home, she ate dinner alone and cleaned up the house. It was still early. She thought for a while and went out with the remaining 300 yuan.
Today, it was the first time for her to get a salary. Although there was not much money left, she still wanted to do something meaningful.
She wanted to buy something for James Lu!
******
She walked around the mall, went through the men's clothing and watch area, but didn't go in. Those brands were calculated by a unit of at least 1,000 yuan, and the money in her hand...
She kept walking until she reached the door of a brand of men's clothing on the second floor. She stood in front of the window and looked at the light blue shirt worn by the model. She's hesitating.
She like this shirt at first glance. But deliberating on the price, she had to leave.
She had walked for a few laps, and this was the only thing she liked! She's stubborn, and she's not gonna move her eyes aways. James's born with a perfect body figure. This would look so good on him.
He would definitely be the most dazzling one with this shirt on...
Gritting her teeth, she went into the store.
She had made up her mind. At the worst, she could borrow the 1,500 yuan back from Evelyn.
Elizabeth was just in her early twenties, and still, she looked two or three years younger than her actual age. She wore a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers, not like someone who would buy high-end clothes.
So, the shop assistant didn't greet her warmly when she entered and stared at clothes.
Elizabeth didn't mind. She pointed at the clothes with a smile and said politely, "Is this shirt in stock?"
"There's only one piece for each clothes."
"Oh, really?" Elizabeth walked directly to the model and reached out to touch the texture.
It's soft and smooth. And she presumed he would be comfy wearing it.
"Great! I like it!"
She looked at the collar to see the size. It was 185cm! It was right the size for James!
"Oh! Am I gonna buy it?"
Then, she peeked at the price. 3980 yuan.
"Ow! The texture is excellent and the size is suitable, but—it's too expensive!"
She liked it very much, but it was too expensive... "Should I buy it or not?"
If she didn't buy it, she would definitely regret it.
But even if she borrowed the 1,500 yuan back, it's still a long way to go.
Evelyn had just bought a computer recently and didn't have much money.
However, she really liked it!
... Hesitating...
"Miss, would you like to buy this shirt?" A shop assistant came over and asked dryly.
She remembered James's kindness to her and remembered his clothes dirtied by her nosebleeds when in school...
"If you don't buy..."
Elizabeth snapped her, "I'll buy it!"
"Just take it as... a gift for rewarding him!"
Fortunately, she carried the credit card that James Lu gave her. She had restrained herself from using it for a long time. But today, it had a role to play.
She took out the card, signed it, and then walked out with a bag in her hand, sent off by the shop assistant with a huge smile.
At the same time, James in the United States received the message showing the transaction.
He looked at the text message and raised his eyebrows.
It was not that he was unhappy, nor did he feel that she had used too much at once. He was just a little puzzled. When he gave her the card, he said that she could buy anything she wanted, expensive or not.
