Chapter 31 The Consumption Trap

People will lose themselves in indulgence and fall deeper in desires.

Senior sister Huang Fei invited me to a Christmas party. I originally refused, but due to my senior sister's affection, I was worried that she would be in danger, so I agreed.

The rogue I met in the restaurant made me frightened, but I was still driven away by my senior sister.

After leaving the old Luoyang noodle restaurant, my senior sister recruited a taxi. We entered the car and sat down, "Master, go to Dennis Department Store on Shanghai Road!"

I am not familiar with Luoyang. Although I am from Luoyang, I spent five years in the provincial capital. The car was warm and I was a little drowsy. My senior sister praised: "You performed very well just now. Men must have the courage to say to all oppression: no!"

Since I was a child, I was a good child in the eyes of my parents and relatives, and a good student in the eyes of my teachers. This made me a little introverted. Apart from roommates in the same dormitory, I don’t have many friends. Because my family’s financial situation is not good, I rarely attend class reunions, banquets and parties.

Shanghai Road Pedestrian Street is very bustling and bustling with pedestrians. As New Year's Day approaches, the promotional activities of merchants are overwhelming. I saw many small stalls and street shops in red paper and black words: clearance sale, lowest price, etc., and the shouts in the speakers are also heard one after another. A street stall says: Jeans are sold for 15 yuan per jeans. I immediately wanted to buy one.

But my senior sister disdained this and took my hand and ran straight to the seven-story Dennis Department Store.

This was the first time she pulled my hand, and I felt a strange feeling.

We entered the mall and took the escalator to the clothing hypermarket on the third floor. We found that there were not as many customers here as on the pedestrian street outside.

In a shop called "Men's House", I saw all kinds of suits. I looked through the signs of the clothes and found that it was sold for Rmb999 yuan. A promoter wearing black professional women's clothing immediately came over and asked me: "Hello, two, how big are you wearing?"

I didn't answer and signaled to my senior sister to leave quickly.

But the senior sister said: "Every suit is tailor-made, but it is definitely too late to customize it now, so just use a set according to his figure!"

The beautiful and tall female clerk responded immediately, took out the soft tape measure she carried with her, and began to measure my body size.

I smelled a faint fragrance, and while the clerk leaned over to measure my legs, I gave my senior sister a look again. The senior sister responded: "Don't worry, the clothes in this store are the best quality and lowest price in the entire Dennis. I have a discount card!"

"Height 174, shoulder width 25 cm..." The female clerk reported my figure and size while looking for suitable products on the clothes hanger. She quickly found a set of pure black wool suits, introducing: "This set is 175/96, please try it on!"

I used to looking through the labels of my clothes, but my senior sister pointed to the fitting room and asked me to go in and try it on.

The price of this set of clothes is also 999, and I was uneasy. If I continue to spend like this, the 10,000 yuan given by the old Taoist priest would not resist my spending for a few days.

But when I changed my clothes and walked out, my senior sister and the female clerk both showed surprised eyes.

I saw a handsome young man appearing in the mirror, but he was a little unfamiliar and thought to himself: "Is this still me?"

The senior sister praised: "A man depends on clothes and horse depends on saddles. When you wear this, you will become more energetic immediately. Just use this outfit, swipe the card!" The clerk responded and turned back to the counter.

I hurriedly whispered to my senior sister: "This set of clothes is a bit expensive, why don't we buy them outside?"

The senior sister said: "What are you afraid of? I have a discount card here. You don't have to worry about the price. Maybe you can get a discount?" After that, he walked towards the cashier.

I have never liked to buy clothes, so I don’t know how much the discount is, but I am still very satisfied with myself in the mirror. However, I saw this handsome guy in the mirror showing an exaggerated expression and evil eyes to me, a sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth, provoking me.

Is this still me? I quickly rubbed my eyes. The portrait in the mirror was indeed me, and even a black mole on my chin was the same. I approached the mirror and looked carefully. The beard in the mirror was growing at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, becoming longer and longer, and poked out of the mirror like hair and rolled towards me.

I quickly tore it hard, but I felt my hair brushing across my face, itchy and comfortable.

But this is a beard! I continued to tear it hard, but I couldn't breathe by the long beard. I couldn't even shout loudly. I saw that my neck had been strangled.

At this time, someone patted my shoulder, which made me wake up from my imagination. The female clerk said to me: "I have wrapped your old clothes for you, welcome next time!"

The senior sister also asked me: "Xiao Yuan, what's wrong with you? You seem to be very nervous."

I hurriedly covered up and explained: "Nothing, maybe it's a bit hot here!"

As soon as I left the store, I immediately asked my senior sister: "How much does this set of clothes cost? I will never buy them if it is too expensive!"

The senior sister casually said: "999 is 100% off, less than 100 yuan, do you believe it?"

Of course I didn't believe it, but my senior sister had already pulled me straight to the fourth floor.

Strange, why did I have hallucinations just now? Could it be that I didn’t have a rest?

On the fourth floor is the Bonnie beauty salon chain. Seeing the three-color rotating sign of the barber shop, I hurriedly told my senior sister: "I just got my hair done last month!"

The senior sister handed the handbag containing my old cotton coat to me and said, "It's not about cutting your hair, but about making hair salons for me. You just need to sit and wait!"

The store has a large business area, with many customers and barbers inside, but the customers are all women, the barbers are all men, and they also have hair of various colors.

The senior sister casually greeted the cashier: "Look for Ahe, do static ion perm, and help my colleague repair my hair."

There were two little girls in the cashier, one of whom had a "big wave" of hair, and the other with her head wrapped around.

"Ahe is busy. Miss Huang please wait. This friend can wash his hair first." "Big Wave" said to his senior sister.

I pointed at myself and asked: "Do you me? I don't need to get a haircut."

The senior sister corrected it; "I won't give you a haircut, I just repair your hair. Put down the things first and go with them!"

The girl with her hair tied with a screw bun led me to a leather recliner and signaled me to lie down first.

I lay on the leather chair anxiously, and then I heard the cashier say, "This is Sister Huang's friend, Xiao Miao, come and wash his hair and then fix his hair."

I heard a sweet woman respond, and then I felt a pair of soft hands pulling my head and saying to me: "Hello, please lie up."

So I stepped on the tiled floor with both feet, moved my body upwards, leaned my neck against the leather pillow, and my head hung in the air.

I saw a girl with a round face dyed yellow hair, turned on the faucet to test the water temperature, and then washed my hair.

While shampooing my hair, she asked about my situation, which made me feel like I was being brought to a blind date. However, the other party said that, he recommended hair care to me, which brand of baking cream is very effective, which shampoo is good for hair nutrition, etc. But I refused.

But she was still not discouraged and continued to recommend it to me, and asked for my ID card without saying that she wanted to get me a membership card here.

I hurriedly said, "I didn't bring my ID card today, so let's talk about it later!"

The hair was washed quickly. Xiaomiao wiped my hair with a dry towel, then pressed her hands on my pair of temples and started pressing. I was a little confused and asked, "What are you doing?"
