Before Christmas, Xia Xiaoluo finally got her salary. After almost one month’s efforts, Xia Xiaoluo earned 1860 yuan. It was a large amount of money for her. She has worked for only three weeks last month with four hours from Monday to Friday, so she was satisfied with the salary. After all, some full-time staff could only earn one or two thousand yuan as well.
As soon as she finished working, Xia Xiaoluo rushed to the nearest ATM to check the money. Not only could she use the money to repay Dou Ya, she could also invite Ma Qianli and Chu Tong to dinner. The most important thing was that she could buy a birthday present for Ling Tianyi with the money.
Meanwhile, Ling Tianyi received the message reminder from the bank on his mobile phone. He bounded his number to Xia Xiaoluo’s card, so he could receive messages if the money changed. He did not mean to monitor Xia Xiaoluo, but to know about her habits. He didn’t expect that she would use this card as her salary card.
“1860 yuan! Xia Xiaoluo must be very happy. Maybe she will buy some delicious food for me today!” Ling Tianyi thought secretly. He wanted to share the joy with her, but he did not want to frighten her.
Xia Xiaoluo withdrew 300 yuan, then she went back to the Western Restaurant. She found that Ma Qianli and Chu Tong were talking, so she went to them directly and said, “Sister Ma, Chu Tong, I promised to invite you to dinner when I get the salary. Let’s go to eat hot pot today.”
“Great! It’s so cold and I want to eat hot pot!” Ma Qianli laughed.
Chu Tong was happy too, so he said directly, “I know there is a small hot pot restaurant near here. It tastes good. I went there with my friends a few days ago.”
“You can lead the way!” Xia Xiaoluo laughed.
They went to eat the small hot pot together. Xia Xiaoluo and Chu Tong only worked in the morning. Now they were off duty. Ma Qianli was the Lobby Manager, so she could go with them.
They were eating happily, although they haven’t known each other for long. When they were full, Xia Xiaoluo was ready to pay for the bill. Chu Tong, the only man here, took the bill as well. They were arguing for the paying.
When they were arguing, Ma Qianli paid for the bill.
“Sister Ma, I said I will treat you!” Xia Xiaoluo said sadly. “I’m embarrassed now!”
“Sister Ma, I invited you here. A man should pay for the bill.” Chu Tong complained.
Ma Qianli laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter! You earn less money than me, so don’t argue with me. Only two hundred yuan. When you finish your study and earn more money than me, you can invite me to dinner again. OK?”
“All right! I will invite Sister Ma next time!” Chu Tong said.
“Me too! Sister Ma, you are so kind, and you take care of me all the time and invite us to dinner now. If you need my help in the future, I will try my best!” Xia Xiaoluo took Ma Qianli’s hands, and they left the hot pot restaurant together.
Ma Qianli was waiting for this word. She took good care of Xia Xiaoluo so that Xia Xiaoluo could help her in the future. She said jokingly, “Xiaoluo, I will remember what you said. If I’m in trouble in the future, you must help me.”
“Don’t worry! Sister Ma, I’m loyal to my friends. Whoever treats me well, I will treat him well!” Xia Xiaoluo said happily.
“Well, I will go back to the restaurant. You can do your own things!” Ma Qianli said. There were a lot of things for her to do in the restaurant.
“OK! Sister Ma, bye-bye!”
“Bye-bye!”
Ma Qianli left, Chu Tong looked at Xia Xiaoluo’s small red face.
“Xiaoluo, do you want to go to school? I’m going that way!” Chu Tong asked.
“I don’t have class this afternoon, I will not go to school. See you tomorrow!” Xia Xiaoluo was very happy when she thought of the salary. She could buy a birthday present for Ling Tianyi now. Even if there were classes, she would not go.
“I heard that you are going to have the CET-4 exam. Don’t you want to do some review?” Chu Tong wanted to talk with Xia Xiaoluo.
“Don’t mention the CET-4 exam to me.” Xia Xiaoluo said sadly. After a few days, it was time for the CET-4 exam, so Xia Xiaoluo was upset. She was very happy with her salary, but now she was upset.
Chu Tong looked at Xia Xiaoluo’s face and said, “Okay, today we don’t talk about the study! My classes in the afternoon are boring too. How about go shopping with you, we can buy what we want with the salary.”
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t want to stay with the boys, but Chu Tong’s figure was similar to Ling Tianyi’s. If she wanted to buy clothes for Ling Tianyi, maybe Chu Tong could be helpful. It would be easier for her to choose the present.
“Well, I want to buy a present for my friend. You can give me some advice!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“For your boyfriend?” Chu Tong asked. He liked Xia Xiaoluo, so he wanted to speak his love to her at Christmas. But he has never asked her if she had a boyfriend.
“Yes, I want to buy a present for my lover” Xia Xiaoluo said. She did not tell Chu Tong that she was married, because they were not familiar. Only a few people knew her marriage, including Dou Ya, Ouyang Ziqian and Fang Ruichen. She didn’t even tell Luo Xixi.
Chu Tong was disappointed, but he adjusted his mood quickly. He was very confident, because no matter what the situation was, he would go after the girl he liked even though she was married.
“Great! Let me help you. I hope your lover will like your present!” Chu Tong said. He didn’t mind helping Xia Xiaoluo to buy a present for her boyfriend, as long as he could get along with her.
“Thank you!” Xia Xiaoluo laughed and said. They went to the shopping mall together. “Chu Tong, what do the boys like? What kind of present do you boys want?”
“In fact, present itself is not important. If it is from a girl he likes, even if it is a cheap key ring or a lighter or something, he will like it; on the contrary, if he doesn’t like the girl, he will not accept her present even it is expensive. Even though he accepts the present, he will throw it into the glove compartment.” Chu Tong said.
“Do you have a girlfriend? What kind of present do you want from your girlfriend?” Xia Xiaoluo asked, she did not know what to buy for Ling Tianyi.
“What I cherish and expect most is the time and goodwill she engaged in the present. Unfortunately, I don’t have a girlfriend!” Chu Tong shrugged his shoulders.
“I know. Thank you for your help! I’m not going to the mall. I decide to do something special. I’m really sorry to stand you up today.” After that, Xia Xiaoluo left by a taxi. She knew what present she should prepare for Ling Tianyi.
Xia Xiaoluo rushed to the shop selling knitting wool, and she was interested in a box of dark gray knitting wool.
“Boss, how much is this?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“You have good taste! This knitting wool is the best-selling product in our shop. It’s high-end imported cashmere wool. The woolen sweater made of it is very good!” The boss was a strong man.
“How much is it?” Xia Xiaoluo asked. She knew that cashmere wool of good quality was expensive, but she did not have so much money.
“1280 yuan per box, weighing one catty!” The boss smiled and said, “You are beautiful, so I will give you a discount. 1250 yuan for one box with a set of tools.”
“One thousand!” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t cut the price down to one-third of it, because she knew that the cashmere wool was really expensive. What she chose was not the most expensive one.
“Beauty! That even cannot cover the cost! You can’t let me lose money!” The boss said.
After bargaining, Xia Xiaoluo bought one and a half catty of cashmere wool with 1800 yuan! Of course, with the tools.
“There is only 60 yuan for me.” Xia Xiaoluo went out of the shop and complained. When she went to school the next day, she had to repay Dou Ya 30 yuan. Only 30 yuan was left for her.
When Xia Xiaoluo returned home, she searched for the style of sweater in the Internet. Because of Ling Tainyi’s identity, she chose a simple style. Although she did not study well, she was good at learning other things. She could knit a sweater when she was in high school, and she was good at it.
Xia Xiaoluo wanted to surprise Ling Tianyi, so she had to knit the sweater secretly before Christmas Eve. After she had the CET-4 exam, she could send it to Ling Tianyi. There was no time to lose, so Xia Xiaoluo could only skip class and knit sweaters at home. She has forgotten the CET-4 exam. Even though she reviewed for it, she could not pass the exam, so she decided to knit a sweater for Ling Tianyi.
