Chapter 317 — I Don't Get It!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"It's nice... but a bit expensive, isn't it..." Tang Zhi still could not quite bring herself to take things from Wei Zhao. Kang Xiaofeng's coaxing a moment ago notwithstanding, she still felt she shouldn't accept it...
"Right then," Wei Zhao smiled and said to the clerk, "We'll take three of these."
"Why not... buy that one for three hundred-something we saw before?" When she saw Wei Zhao was determined to buy, Tang Zhi hesitated, then pointed toward a phone priced at just over three hundred that the clerk had shown them earlier.
"Come on... Kang Xiaofeng is giving his to Xiaofen. If it's too shabby, he'll be too embarrassed to hand it over," Wei Zhao said in a low voice.
"Oh..." Tang Zhi could only nod at that, though a faint oppression settled over her heart... She owed Wei Zhao more and more now... and how was she ever going to repay it all?
From the barbecue recipe, to the way he had stood up for her and her mother and driven off those fellow vendors who had tried to bully them, to Xiao Fen's medical fees—though Kang Xiaofeng had a hand in that, most of it had been on her account... So Tang Zhi could not pretend to know nothing about it.
He had saved her again... and now he wanted to buy her a cell phone too. Tang Zhi truly did not know, if things went on like this, whether her relationship with Wei Zhao would grow ever more entangled and unclear. Did he really like her...
While she hesitated, Wei Zhao had already bought three cell phones and picked out two phone cards, one with a number ending in Xiao Fen's birthday and one ending in Tang Zhi's, both chosen by Liu Xinlan.
Wei Zhao swiped his card, then handed out the phones: one for Tang Zhi, one for Kang Xiaofeng. Liu Xinlan already had a rather old-style phone, so there was no need to buy her one, and the remaining phone Wei Zhao kept for himself.
His previous expensive phone had broken as well, so this time Wei Zhao simply bought a cheap one... No matter how costly a phone was, once it took a soak in water it was finished, and given the rather dangerous nature of Wei Zhao's work, he had simply chosen a cheap phone.
If the one he was using now, Shen Yushu's, had not been so thoroughly feminine that he would have been too embarrassed to take it out in public, Wei Zhao would have made do with it.
Tang Zhi gave a faint sigh... Let it be owed, then... She owed so much already that one cell phone more made little difference... Yet once she got into the car, she said to Wei Zhao in a voice so low it was barely audible, "Thank you..."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao laughed, turned his head, and looked at Tang Zhi with a teasing glint. "Then how will you thank me?"
"Wh—what do you mean, how will I thank you..." Tang Zhi started, her face flushing red as she remembered what she had promised him yesterday in the hospital, and her heart began to race.
"Yesterday in the hospital, I believe you still owe me a kiss..." Wei Zhao said in a lowered voice.
Sure enough, that was exactly what he meant. Tang Zhi was overcome with embarrassment. "Wh—what, I do not know what you are talking about... I do not understand a word of it..."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao turned away and started the car. Seeing how endearingly flustered Tang Zhi looked, he could not bear to tease her any further. To make this girl, who guarded herself like a hedgehog, open her heart to him completely was truly no easy task...
