Chapter 396 Pretending to be poor was just to test you.
"Take a look, see if you like it."
As Jiang He spoke, she took out a piece of clothing from her bag.
Jiang He specifically found this at a street stall.
The clothes even have a big brand logo printed on them.
This cost her ten yuan.
Zhou Chen didn't expect that Jiang He would carry clothes with her.
The clothes smelled cheap as soon as they were taken out.
It's no surprise that Jiang He bought those clothes from a street vendor.
"Why are you buying me clothes? I have enough clothes to wear."
You should take this clothing back and return it.
I don't want to.
Zhou Chen refused Jiang He's clothes.
"Look at your undershirt, it's all torn."
What would it look like to wear that out?
Even if you're very frugal, you shouldn't try to save this money.
This piece of clothing isn't expensive either, it only costs ten yuan.
Or is it that you actually think this dress is too cheap, which is why you don't want it?
What's the price range of your clothes? I won't buy you such cheap clothes next time.
Jiang He looked Zhou Chen up and down.
Zhou Chen felt uneasy under Jiang He's sweeping gaze.
Hurry up and bring the clothes over.
"No, no, the clothes I'm wearing are all very cheap."
They were all bought from street vendors.
This outfit is quite nice.
That's the kind of clothing I'm wearing.
"I'm happy as long as you like it."
Unfortunately, all the clothes my neighbor gave me were for girls.
Look at the clothes I'm wearing, aren't they brand new?
My neighbor gave them to me when I went back home.
My neighbor wore it a few times and then stopped.
Now it's a bargain for me.
I haven't had to worry about not having clothes to wear for the past two years.
Jiang He showed off her clothes.
When Jiang He said that the clothes were not bought by her but given to her by someone else, Zhou Chen was not so angry anymore.
"Is your neighbor's sister very rich? Her clothes look really nice. They all seem quite expensive."
Jiang He's family isn't well-off, so the neighbors probably aren't either.
Such nice clothes, practically brand new, are you just going to give them away for free?
"Speaking of this, Zhou Chen, you would never guess."
My neighbor, an older sister, started working away from home a few years ago, and her family's financial situation was just average.
Such nice clothes can't just be given away as a gift.
But my neighbor met someone while she was working away from home.
Two people were dating and about to get married when the man told his neighbor that he was actually a rich second-generation.
My family owns a factory.
The family is quite well-off.
His workplace is actually his home.
He pretended to be broke until he was planning to get married, at which point he told his sister.
It gave my sister a big surprise.
Look, my sister married a rich man.
My neighbor took her whole family away this year, saying they went on a trip abroad.
The rich second-generation brother-in-law bought his sister a lot of clothes.
My older sister can't even wear them all.
They transported a truckload of clothes to the village.
I got quite a lot.
This down jacket is so warm.
I don't feel cold at all wearing this.
That's why I said it's a pity you can't wear it.
Otherwise, I'll bring you a few more; these are really warm."
"No, no, I'm not cold at all."
Zhou Chen felt a little guilty listening to what Jiang He was saying.
I'm afraid Jiang He might overthink things and figure something out.
He immediately urged Jiang He to eat the rice noodles.
"I didn't bring the surprise gift I brought you. I'll give it to you tonight."
"Eat your rice noodles quickly, they'll get cold soon."
"Okay, you can change your clothes when you get back."
Let me see how you're dressed.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Back in his dorm room, Zhou Chen was in a complete mess.
These clothes smell so strong, they feel like they were recycled old clothes.
This black color might fade, and he'll definitely have an allergic reaction if he wears it.
Moreover, with such a large logo on the chest, this is blatant counterfeiting.
Zhou Chen criticized the garment from top to bottom, inside and out.
He would never wear such clothes in his entire life.
Zhou Chen took a picture of the clothes and asked Aunt Zhou to prepare an identical one for him.
Looking at Zhou Chen's request, Aunt Zhou guessed that the young master's school might have another performance, and this was probably a costume for the performance.
The young master is prone to allergies, so he can't wear these performance costumes and they all need to be specially made.
Aunt Zhou contacted a tailor to make a dress that looked exactly the same.
Zhou Chen put the clothes in the water and soaked them for a while, and the water turned black.
The color fading of this clothing is really severe.
They scooped up the clothes and hung them on the balcony of the laundry room, still wet from being soaked.
He's not going to wear these clothes anyway, so let them just sit here and air dry.
When Zhou Chen returned to his dormitory, he heard a roar coming from the laundry room.
"Who is so inconsiderate to hang up clothes that are still wet, making my dry clothes wet?"
Didn't you eat enough? You can't even wring out your clothes properly!
No one responded.
The man kept cursing and swearing, then his voice trailed off.
The clothing issue is now resolved.
What to do with a surprise gift?
Zhou Chen had absolutely no recollection of this.
Jiang He has already given him the gift.
As is customary, he should bring the gift to Jiang He by his part-time job tonight at the latest.
He can't keep saying he forgot and then postpone it until tomorrow.
He has classes in the afternoon, so he can't go out to buy it.
We can't ask Aunt Zhou to deliver it to him.
He didn't have much to give to girls.
We can't let Aunt Zhou go out and buy a gift for a girl.
His dating life is his own business, and he shouldn't let others know.
If Zhou's parents found out, they would definitely disagree.
They might even arrange for him to marry the daughter of one of their business partners.
He doesn't want an arranged marriage; if he's going to get married, he'll only choose a girl he likes.
Zhou Chen rummaged through his closet, trying to find something that a girl could also use.
In the end, Zhou Chen chose headphones.
These headphones are a perfect match for their phone.
You can listen to music or listen to English.
Moreover, he had never used these headphones; the outer packaging box was still there.
Because he already has Bluetooth headphones and isn't used to these wired headphones.
Zhou Chen put the earphones in his pocket.
That evening, Zhou Chen gave the earphones to Jiang He.
Can you guess what I gave you?
"No, I can't think of anything. What are you going to give me?"
"Open your hands."
Jiang He stretched out her hand, palm facing up.
Zhou Chen placed the box in Jiang He's hand.
Jiang He looked at the box.
"Is this an earphone?"
"Yes, this is an earphone, so you can listen to music and also listen to some English conversations."
Or, if it's too noisy in the dorm, wearing headphones can also block out some of the noise.
Do you want to give it a try?
Jiang He opened the box, and then, there was nothing there.
Jiang He looked at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's eyes widened in surprise. He picked up the box and rummaged through it, only to find it was empty.
He had never used the earphones and didn't remember taking them out. Besides, the box was quite heavy, so he didn't bother to open it again to check.
Who knew it was all the weight of the box?
Even a box can have such a high-quality feel.
The question is, what about the headphones?
Where are his headphones?
He didn't find any other headphones today either.
"I think I took it out to try it out and forgot to put it back in. It's probably with me."
I'll bring it to you tomorrow.
Zhou Chen stiffly explained to Jiang He.
