"What does it matter? What matters most is that you like it! Let's go buy it!" Zhuang Keer said excitedly immediately.
"No need to buy." Ning Xi said.
"Ah? Why? Actually, you don't have to feel any psychological burden. You saved my grandfather, and my family and I are very grateful to you. However, it would be too disrespectful to give you money directly, so I just want to help you as much as I can..."
Ning Xi said with a gentle look, "I understand what you mean. I've said it before, it's just a small favor, you really don't need to care about it. If you always treat me as a benefactor, I will really feel psychologically stressed. I want to make friends with you because I am really happy to be with you and we can talk a lot."
"Me too, me too!" Zhuang Ke'er nodded repeatedly, "So, just think of it as a gift from me to your friend!"
Ning Xi laughed, "Really, no need, Ze Ling is my own brand."
"Ah! Really?" Zhuang Keer was surprised and happy.
…
Next, Ning Xi and Zhuang Ke'er chatted while shopping, as if they had endless topics to talk about.
Before they knew it, it was evening and they found a place to sit down and have dinner.
Zhuang Ke'er listened to Ning Xi telling her about interesting things in her life abroad, as well as some clever opportunities that led to the creation of Ze Ling Studio. Her eyes were filled with longing. "Xiao Xi, I envy you so much. You live such a free and wonderful life. You have encountered so many interesting things, have someone you like, and have dreams and goals to work hard for. Every day is so fulfilling..."
Ning Xi had never thought that there would be a day when she would be envied by others. "If you want to talk about envy, you should be the one that everyone envies, right?"
Although she is now moving towards the light step by step, there was once darkness and despair behind her.
Zhuang Keer smiled bitterly, "Yes, I have everything, and I can easily get whatever I want. However, since I was a child, everything I have done has been done step by step according to my family's expectations. I don't know what I really want, and there is nothing I want to do in particular. The premise of doing everything must be to abandon personal selfishness and take family honor as the premise. Isn't this a kind of sadness?"
"Everyone has their own troubles, even the richest man in the world. Only the one who drinks the water knows whether it is hot or cold!" Ning Xi said, and couldn't help but think of Zhuang Rongguang.
She suddenly discovered that Zhuang Keer and Zhuang Rongguang were two completely opposite extremes. Zhuang Keer completely obeyed all the arrangements of her family and was brought up to be the most perfect lady and socialite, while Zhuang Rongguang rebelled completely and completely subverted the expectations of his family. He grew up to be a wanton **...
…
After dinner, Ning Xi took Zhuang Ke'er to the video game arcade.
It’s hard to imagine that this was Zhuang Ke’er’s first time going to an arcade since she was a child, and everything she saw was so new to her.
"Honey, I want that little rabbit with long ears!"
"Okay, wait, your husband will grab it for you right away! I'm not exaggerating, your husband is an expert at grabbing dolls!"
"My husband is awesome! Come on, husband!"
…
"What are they doing?" Zhuang Keer looked at the row of glass cabinets next to her curiously.
It was filled with all kinds of cute dolls. In front of one of the machines, a man stuffed a few hard leathers into the hole and was pressing the red button on it with a focused expression.
"Claw machine, one coin per chance. Do you want to play?" Ning Xi asked.
