Chapter 737: Rich But Ignorant
“Are you going to buy this?”
The salesperson asked carefully. These were all expensive high-end models.
“Yes, I’m buying this.”
Yan Huan nodded her head. Her memory was lingering on his figure, his fingers, and his speed of typing on the keyboard.
The salesperson accepted Yan Huan’s card and swiped it. After the transaction was done, Yan Huan regained possession of her card, turned around, and left. The salesperson immediately pulled her colleague over to her and whispered, “The customer just now was so pretty.”
“Right?” The other salesperson agreed.
“I noticed it the second she came in. Also, she looks extremely like Yan Huan.”
Jiu Yue reluctantly moved his sight away from the laptop, and there was helplessness in his eyes. He was very satisfied with the features and the general feel of this laptop. Obviously, the price was costly as well, costing around ten thousand yuan.
Mentioning ten thousand yuan, he did not even have a thousand yuan now. As for the internet cafe, he did not like to go there, and it would be impossible for him to go everyday. Aside from the distance of the internet cafe from his house, the risk factor itself was very high.
Therefore, he wanted to have his own laptop, but he was penniless, and until now, he had no idea how to earn any money. His most valuable items were the ring and the watch.
The watch was worth rubbish, and the ring was sold long ago. The money was not with him, and he was also too embarrassed to ask for it.
The words of the salesperson just now hurt his feelings badly, but he could not blame her as she was just speaking the truth. He acknowledged that he went with the intention to use the laptop furtively, so he neither refuted nor opposed.
As he was just about to leave, a salesperson stopped him.
“Sir, please wait a moment, you haven’t taken your laptop.” After the salesperson finished her sentence, she handed a package over to him.
“Sir, this is your laptop, you may check it over for any defects.”
The salesperson played the package on the table, and helped him open it.
“My laptop?”
Jiu Yue frowned in confusion. When did he buy the laptop? He did not have a single cent on him. If he wanted to rob a bank, he could only do it now.
“Yes, this is yours. Your friend had already paid for you. She said you left your wallet with her.”
Both of the salespeople showed a very good attitude now compared to when they were mocking him just now. Their tone of voice and choice of words were much better.
“Who?” Jiu Yue had no idea where this friend, who unexpectedly gave him a laptop, came from.
“It was the lady who wore a red dress just now. She bought the same model as you, but she chose pink, and yours is silver. You have the same model, but different colors.”
“The payment is done. This is the warranty card, invoice and receipt. Please check, and tell me if there are any problems.”
The salesperson explained diligently, as if he had become a godlike figure after he paid. The amount of time he spent typing on the keyboard would not matter, as long as he paid for it in the end. This laptop had a price of around ten thousand yuan, and that lady just paid directly without bargaining. She was a rich woman indeed, ignorant and rich.
Was it her?
Jiu Yue did have some impression of that woman. There really was a lady in a red dress beside him. Judging from her skill, she wasn’t someone who knew laptops well. Perhaps she could only use it casually, and switch it on and off. She also ignored the specifications and properties, instead she had bought it just for its attractive appearance.
“May I know if she paid by cash or card?” Jiu Yue asked the salesperson.
“By card,” the salesperson answered.
“May I have a look at the receipt?” Jiu Yue asked in an aloof tone, and did not give the laptop an extra glance. He did not feel grateful or blessed as he did not have the mood to. He just wanted to find out who bought him a laptop. It cost ten thousand yuan, and she actually bought it for a stranger, whom she had neither spoken to nor met before.
“One moment, please,” the salesperson produced the receipt from the counter immediately.
Lu Yi accepted it. There was only a string of censored card numbers, and a sharp-looking signature on it, Lu Yi.
Lu Yi, it was a man’s name.
He was sure that he did not know that person, and was also sure that he had never met that lady before.
At last, he took the laptop back with him, as he could not leave it at the shop since the payment had already been made. However, it would be difficult for him to find the lady who had paid for him as he would need to investigate through the bank. It would be impossible for the bank to disclose personal information to an unrelated party without a valid reason.
Moreover, he could only remember the numbers on top, including the numbers at the front, the back, and the hidden middle numbers, as well as the name Lu Yi.
He returned home and left the laptop on a table. Then, he went out to do some grocery shopping to cook dinner. Soon, Sun Yuhan would be back. Both of them took turns to prepare three meals per day, but he did it most of the time. After all, he did not work, while Sun Yuhan was busy sometimes. Most of the time, not to say eat, she did not even have the strength to lift her fingers.
Jiu Yue had also discovered his other skill, which was cooking. His cooking was decent and edible, gradually improving over time.
He pulled out the drawer. There was some money inside, and all of it was for grocery shopping. He had never taken any extra cent, and would always put back the change.
He bought some vegetables and noodles. After putting on an apron, he busied himself in the kitchen. Just as the noodles were ready to be served, Sun Yuhan returned home from work.
She collapsed on the sofa. She was starving, and had been so busy for the entire morning that she did not even want to lift her fingers.
She just wanted to have a good rest, and a bowl of rice to sate her hunger.
Jiu Yue served the two bowls of noodles. One was for her, and the other one was for himself.
Sun Yuhan pulled the bowl over to herself right away, and began to slurp them up with the aid of her chopsticks. She could not help but inhale the noodles as the taste and the seasoning were just perfect. It would not lose to any of the noodle stores outside.
Hence, her favorite would definitely be the noodles cooked by Jiu Yue. He was such a great man that could excel at home, and out of home. Moreover, he was tall and good-looking. Although he had lost his memories, and forgot who he was, these external qualities were more than enough to appeal to her. In addition, she had already acknowledged Jiu Yue as hers now that their life had improved.
Anyway, he was here to meet her. They had known each other on the internet for three years, and they had become a couple naturally.
No one could separate them, no one, not anyone else.
Jiu Yue picked up the empty bowls and went into the kitchen. He dumped the bowls underneath the faucet and began to wash them. At this moment, a feminine body snuggled close to him.
