Chapter 220 - Generous, so generous! (1/2)

Chapter 220 Generous, so generous!Although Zhang Fan’s new apartment which Shao Hua’s parents were living in already had brand-new furniture as well as everything old brought over from Shao Hua’s parents’ old place, some small things still needed to be purchased. Over the past week, Zhang Fan had been incredibly busy due to the flu epidemic. Shao Hua had also been going out very little recently as she was busy with studying. Finally, since Zhang Fan was off for this weekend, the two of them decided to go out shopping as well as have a little date for themselves instead of eating at home.

Since the flu epidemic had ended, the streets were gradually becoming lively again. There were still snowflakes falling down, so Chasu City was enveloped in ice and snow. Since it was almost New Year’s, many stores even built cute snowmen in front of their stores.

Zhang Fan and Shao Hua held hands as they took a walk together. Shao Hua would only show her childish side to Zhang Fan. She kept asking Zhang Fan to take pictures of her standing next to a snowman, while at other times she would stuff a snowball down his neck while he wasn’t paying attention. Those who were single would never understand the joys of having a lover.

What would be the most fun after one became an adult? That would have to be the period of new romance. A couple would always get along best before the humdrum of daily life came into the relationship. Once the affairs of daily life took over, some people who deeply loved each other would start to deeply resent their significant other instead. Maybe this was just how human nature and life was!

Zhang Fan and Shao Hua needed to buy things such as lights and decorative accessories since Zhang Fan’s apartment was much larger than Shao Hua’s parents’ old apartment. The new place also had much better natural lighting. It felt like the new apartment deserved to have something better. Zhang Fan and Shao Hua went all over a large shopping mall as Shao Hua constantly compared this item to that item, searching for the best deal.

There was a great difference between men and women when it came to shopping. A woman would often compare many, many different items and then haggle with the store owner in an argumentative fashion for 15 minutes for the sake of two yuan. Although Shao Hua wasn’t the argumentative type, she would never go easy on others. She would definitely save even one yuan if she possibly could.

Meanwhile, men were different. Zhang Fan would never have bothered with haggling even back in college when he was really poor. He would at most pick something that looked adequate to him, with no apparent problems. He would then instantly buy it. This was so direct! Or, maybe this was so foolish!

For the entire morning, Zhang Fan and Shao Hua went through the whole shopping mall three times over. It was likely that all the store owners learned both their faces through this!

Zhang Fan was the type who would still have plenty of energy to perform another surgery after a 24-hour work shift. However, shopping was far harder on him than any surgery could be. He was truly fatigued after shopping with Shao Hua. Zhang Fan felt like his hair was standing up on ends when she told him that she also wanted to buy a porcelain doll—he was far too tired.

“Let’s go! This will be the last one. We absolutely must buy a porcelain doll,” Shao Hua said while acting spoiled, pulling on Zhang Fan’s arm.

“Honestly, my legs are beginning to cramp. Porcelain dolls are so boring. How about I go back and make a doll for you out of mud?” Zhang Fan began to act spoiled as well because he truly didn’t want to walk any more.

“Come with me. I’ll tell you what the porcelain doll is for,” Shao Hua whispered mysteriously into Zhang Fan’s ear while draping herself over his body.

Zhang Fan didn’t even surrender against her warm and fragrant breath, soft hands, or the subtle sensation of her lips against his ears. This was because he truly was too tired from shopping. “Tell me what it’s for first.”

“It’s to place in our bedroom when we get married. My mom says that we absolutely must have one! We must also place it in the room for a while before we get married,” Shao Hua whispered into his ear while still draping herself on his body. Her face became red from embarrassment before she even finished speaking

“Oh! Let’s hurry and purchase several porcelain dolls, then.” This was far too good of a reason. Zhang Fan now wanted to go buy several even if it meant his legs would break.

Finally, the two of them discovered a porcelain doll specialty store in a street corner. The porcelain dolls were quite cute. The boy dolls were naked. The girl dolls wore red cloth coverings. They seemed to be quite lively. The dolls were about the size of chicken eggs.

“Yes, this is it!” Shao Hua was so happy that she jumped up and down while pulling on Zhang Fan.

“Owner, how much are you selling these for?” Zhang Fan played with a porcelain doll while looking at it closely. It seemed to be made with great detail.
