Chapter 32 Reining in the Precipice

Anyone who buys books at Baixiang Bookstore that day can receive one bookmark for free with a small receipt, and the second one is half price.

After Yao Yi wrote this sentence on a sketch board, out of consumers' love for gifts, almost everyone who walked out of Baixiang Bookstore would go to Mi Meng's stall to look at the homemade bookmarks they gave when buying books. In less than an hour, they wiped out the inventory in Mi Meng's backpack.

Thinking that Fan Li and his girlfriend were enjoying the world of two people in the rental house, Yao Yi dragged Mi Meng to stay in Baixiang Bookstore for nearly two hours after the blank bookmark was sold out, and waited until the bookstore closed.

What surprised Yao Yi was that when she returned to the rental house, Fan Li and his girlfriend had not returned to the room to rest, and were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching a horror movie.

Mi Meng is right. Fan Li's girlfriend is indeed beautiful. Although her facial features are not as delicate as Mi Meng, she has the charm of a mature woman between her eyebrows and eyes. For adult men, Fan Li's girlfriend's lethality is even better than Mi Meng.

In this way, Fan Li also puts on the main template of the urban novel, cold, mysterious and deep, and at first glance he is a tough character with extremely high martial arts value. He not only has a sexy and beautiful girlfriend, but also a natural and cute legal luoli as his roommate.

Maybe, when walking on the street, a hero will save the beauty and meet the cold female president?

What is this familiar routine called?

King of Soldiers?

Yao Yi smiled and gave Fan Li a thumbs up, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Fan is so lucky."

Fan Li's smile was no longer as stiff as last night. He picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button, looked at his girlfriend beside him tenderly, and whispered: "This is Xiao Yao, I just came yesterday."

"Hello." Fan Li's girlfriend was not at all unhappy, and stood up and walked towards the entrance, shook hands with Yao Yi, "I am Fan Li's fiancée, Liu Jue."

"Ah! Now I'm a fiancée!" Mi Meng snatched up, holding Liu Jue's hand in each of her left and right hands, looking for her ten fingers, "Ring, ring! Brother Fan, where is my sister Liu's ring?"

"Buy it again after a while. Actually, it doesn't matter whether the ring is available or not." Liu Jue pulled Mi Meng to the sofa, "Come on, watch the movie with me. The ghost movie is so scary. Let's change the movie!"

Mi Meng may have realized her fault, sat on the sofa obediently and said, "Okay, okay, I want to watch last year's "Kung Fu Panda"!"

"We saw it last week."

"Look again, watch again~ Bao is so cute~~~"

"Okay, look at it again, do you want to eat potato chips?"

When the two girls reached an agreement, the gay man immediately lost his voice. The zombie movie starring Lin Zhengying that was being screened on the screen was soon replaced with a cartoon produced by DreamWorks. Fan Li rubbed his forehead with his palms and stood up to walk towards the balcony.

Yao Yi knew that he was going to smoke an electronic cigarette, and thought that he had nothing to do, so he could chat with Fan Li, so he followed him to the balcony.

Seeing Yao Yi pushing open the glass door and walking beside him, the taciturn Fan Li took the initiative to speak: "Have you eaten? There are chicken soup and fried meat in the kitchen. When it is hot, it tastes good."

Yao Yi responded to Fan Li's kindness with a smile: "I've eaten it, Mi Meng took me to the hot pot, which is the one you took her to."

Fan Li nodded, returned to his silence, took a few big mouthfuls of cigarettes in a muffled manner, and suddenly asked, "I can't even afford the engagement ring of my beloved woman. Are you still a man?"

Yao Yi was surprised that asking such a question to someone he had just met for a while shows that Fan Li was not as unrest as he appeared on the surface.

Although it is a taboo to talk to others in a simple and profound way, it is not good to not respond to such a problem. Yao Yi thought about it and shrugged, "It depends on the personal situation."

Fan Li nodded, thinking.

"If Sister Liu, cough, I'm the same age as Mi Meng." Yao Yi deliberately made a small gesture of scratching her eyebrows and continued, "If Sister Liu thinks that the price of the engagement ring is proportional to your love for her and your sincerity in treating this relationship, of course, you can buy it if you can, and try to buy it as much as possible. If Sister Liu doesn't care about these things at all, why bother you?"

Fan Li put down his e-cigarette, glanced at Yao Yi, and stopped talking.

Yao Yi guessed what he was thinking and smiled and said, "Brother Fan, have you ever heard a saying that there is a kind of coldness that makes parents think you are cold, and there is a kind of hungry that makes parents think you are hungry? Sometimes we love someone but do not communicate well and do not respect each other's ideas. In the end, we have tried our best to think, but in fact we have moved ourselves."

After saying that, Yao Yi felt that this was not clear yet. In order to avoid Fan Li's misunderstanding, he made a detailed addition: "Oh, and the diamonds are shining and are very liked by women, but what really makes women happy is not the diamond itself, but the fact that her needs are met. In a relationship with marriage, the spiritual needs are always more than material needs. Communicate with Sister Liu more, listen to her inner thoughts, observe her preferences, and meet her needs in some small things. In fact, it can make her feel happier than giving a diamond ring."

This is a more elegant statement, and to put it bluntly, it is that the happiness scoreboard of women is completely different from that of men.

The man receives a greeting card with a happiness index +1, a mechanical keyboard with a happiness index +10, a gaming notebook with a happiness index +100, and the increase is determined by the quality of the gift.

Women are different. When they receive a rose, happiness index +1, a box of thousands of layers, happiness index +1, and a diamond ring is still happiness index +1. This is how women score. Of course, a shiny diamond ring will make the wearer receive praise again and again, so the scoreboard will show +1+1+1+1+1 as the praise from friends...

Therefore, giving a ring is not a "unfavorable choice". However, since Fan Li can't afford the expensive luxury goods, instead of worrying, it is better to focus on his girlfriend's spiritual needs for the time being.

You should know that the original intention of most men to buy rings for their lovers was to make their girlfriends happy. Only a few extreme macho men who objectify women would regard giving diamond rings as a declaration of sovereignty, and Fan Li was obviously not the latter.

If that's the case, why bother with the ring? Why not keep in mind the original intention and try to find other ways to make your girlfriend happy?

Of course, these words cannot be said, as it is enough to say this. If you talk more, it means talking too much. After Yao Yi finished speaking, he nodded to Fan Li, said hello to Mi Meng and Liu Jue, then washed up and went back to his room to accumulate energy and prepare for another interview tomorrow.

On the balcony, Fan Li stood with his e-cigarette for a long time, looking at Liu Jue who was talking and laughing with Mi Meng on the sofa in the living room, suddenly made up his mind and took out a button-type mobile phone with a similar shape to Xiao Lingtong and put it in his ear.

"Hey, it's me."

"You're talking about the job you mentioned last time, please find someone else."

"Don't look for me in the future."

Regardless of how angry the person on the other end of the phone was, Fan Li hung up the phone after saying that, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
