Chapter 200 What do you want to do most now?
Lu Xingchen stood in front of the window, looking at the men's clothing worn by the models in the window, and thought of how Lu Dingsheng would carefully prepare a brand new set of clothes for every important moment of hers that he could participate in, such as graduation ceremonies, award ceremonies, etc.
He said: "Although Daddy doesn't spend much time with you, he will dress up and attend every important moment of yours."
The last time he attended her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 18, wearing the new clothes she had prepared for him. She still remembered how tall and proud of her he looked when he appeared.
But she couldn't buy him clothes anymore because she couldn't give them away and her mother would see them hanging at home.
She went to the watch counter, looked down at the watches in the display case, saw a watch she had bought many years ago, and tears immediately fell on the counter.
Over the years, Lu Dingsheng never told her in person that he missed her.
Just like she had never told anyone that the watch on Lu Dingsheng's wrist at the charity event was the one she bought for him on his 44th birthday with the championship prize money from the provincial youth badminton championship. Ten years later, he was still wearing it.
"Miss, are you okay?" the female clerk asked worriedly.
"Sorry." Lu Xingchen lowered his head and rummaged through his bag to find paper to wipe the counter.
The female clerk took out some paper and gave it to her.
The two papers almost collided with each other.
The clerk said, "It's okay, it will be fine."
After saying that, she took the paper and wiped the table.
Lu Xingchen's eyes were filled with tears at this heartwarming gesture. She picked up the paper and quickly wiped her tears away. Then she saw a tall man standing next to a display case on the other side, looking at her.
Next to him, a girl with shoulder-length curly hair and wearing a mask was looking down to choose jewelry.
Lu Xingchen turned back even more quickly, held the tissue in his hand, pointed to the watch on the counter and said to the female clerk, "I want this watch."
"This is a classic model in our store. It has been on the market ten years ago and has never been out of fashion. Miss, you have a good taste." The clerk said this while taking out a watch from the display cabinet.
"No need to look, just pack it for me." Lu Xingchen took out her mobile phone to pay, and the clerk went to help her pack.
At this time, the girl with short curly hair came to the watch counter again.
The store manager and two shop assistants came over to introduce enthusiastically. The girl also saw Lu Xingchen at this time. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and couldn't say a word for a long time. She quickly turned her head to look at the tall man next to her.
"Ah Zhen, why is she...why is she here?!"
At this time, another guest came over, looked at the short curly-haired girl wearing a mask again and again, and then asked excitedly: "You, are you Deng Peiling? The host of the lifestyle channel that entertains the public?!"
Deng Peiling quickly controlled her emotions and smiled at them politely.
The guests immediately said, "It's really Deng Peiling. Hello, hello. Can you sign an autograph for us?"
"Okay, but let's be a little quieter so as not to affect the business of the store, thank you."
It was not known whether those people were her fans, but they were obviously excited to see the host from TV appear in real life, so they were looking for her autograph.
The two elderly people who were also wearing masks next to Deng Peiling showed pride in their eyes when they saw this scene. Lu Xingchen thought of Lin Huanxi's words and guessed that these two should be Deng Peiling's parents.
Li Zhen walked up to her, looked her in the eyes and asked, "Buy a watch?"
This was obviously a question that was deliberately asked. Lu Xingchen didn't know if he had wiped his tears clean, so he lowered his head and pointed at the counter and said with a smile: "Obviously."
"Have you chosen?"
"All right."
"To whom?"
Lu Xingchen looked at the counter without answering. After a moment, he looked up at him and teased, "What about you? You brought your first love's parents to choose gifts?"
"You are my first love."
"..."Hasn't he ignored her for several days? Why did he suddenly say this again? She said with a relaxed expression, "So, you brought your childhood sweetheart who has a crush on you here to pick out a gift?"
Li Zhen pointed his chin at the parents, "Uncle Deng's birthday is tomorrow."
Lu Xingchen praised: "You are so filial."
Li Zhen glanced at her and asked, "When is your mother's birthday?"
Lu Xingchen laughed at his retort. Then the clerk handed her the wrapped watch and said, "Miss, this is your watch."
"Thank you." Lu Xingchen took the bag and turned to look at Li Zhen and smiled, "I'm done. I'll leave first."
"you……"
"Azhen." Deng Peiling and his parents walked to Li Zhen's side.
"You guys continue shopping." Lu Xingchen said this and left the store.
Lu Xingchen sat alone by the river, drinking while looking at the bridge across the river.
She was wearing a blue shirt and black trousers today, with her bag slung across her body and a gift bag beside her. There were a lot of wine bottles lying around at her feet, including all kinds of wine, even white wine, but she was not drunk yet.
The phone rang. It was Li Zhen calling. She glanced at it and pulled the corner of her mouth. Why did he call her again? But she couldn't refuse to answer it because he had done her a great favor.
"Hey, Mr. Li."
This name made Li Zhen slightly stunned, "Where is it?"
Lu Xingchen said without blinking: "Sleep at home."
Li Zhen was silent for a moment, "I'll go to your place to find you now."
Lu Xingchen replied: "I'm at my friend's house."
"Which friend?"
Either ignore it or ask questions, Lu Xingchen looked at the river surface reflecting the lights and replied: "Zhu Jiang, you don't know him."
It would be strange if he didn’t know him, Li Zhen hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, Lu Xingchen heard footsteps behind her. At first she thought it was someone who came to the river for a walk at night, but the person walked up to her and sat down on the ground.
Lu Xingchen turned her head alertly and saw Li Zhen's face right in front of her. She looked back in astonishment and then looked at him, "How did you know I was here?"
Li Zhen pointed to the river ahead with his hand resting on his knees. "I called Zhu Jiang."
Lu Xingchen smiled unhappily and took a can of beer from the bag beside him and gave it to him. "Zhu Jiang treated us. Do you want to drink?"
Li Zhen looked at her slightly red cheeks, took the wine she handed to him, and opened the can.
Lu Xingchen pointed the wine in his hand toward the river and said, "Ah Jiang, let's go."
Li Zhen unhappily extended the can to her and clinked it with hers, and they both started drinking from Jiang.
Lu Xingchen said something funny, but there was no smile on her face. After Li Zhen drank a can of wine with her, he asked, "What happened?"
"No."
"why cry?"
"..." As expected, he saw it. Lu Xingchen turned his head and rolled his eyes at him, "Which eye of yours saw me cry?"
Li Zhen looked at the river and continued to ask: "Now, do you still want to cry?"
Lu Xingchen's eyes were inexplicably warmed up again when she was asked this question. She was sensitive today. She smiled and said, "I don't want to."
Li Zhen turned around to get some wine, opened a can for her, and opened one for himself to drink. "What do you want to do most now?"
Lu Xingchen thought for a while, "... make a fortune."
Li Zhen smiled.
Lu Xingchen also asked him jokingly: "What do you want to do most now?"
Li Zhen looked at the river surface reflecting the lights and said, "I want to hug you."
Lu Xingchen looked at his profile without saying anything. Li Zhen turned to look at her. She turned to look at the wine in her hand, then took a sip from the can.
Li Zhen also drank, and after a while asked again: "What do you want to do most now?"
Lu Xingchen lowered his head, resting his hand holding the wine on his knees. After a long time, he whispered, "I want to say, I wish you a happy birthday and good health."
After saying that, she took back the can in her hand, put it to her lips, raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp.
