Chapter 13 Change Outfits
Ma Junjie followed Ma Li into the store.
My first impression was that this store is really big!
There are two floors, each with a very large area, filled with clothes, pants, and all kinds of accessories, a dazzling array that is hard to look at.
Just then, music started playing in the store, and Ma Junjie listened attentively for a moment.
I heard some lyrics that went something like, "Chrysanthemums wither, wounds cover the ground."
Then they changed to another song, with lyrics like "Listen to your mother, so she won't get hurt."
As Ma Junjie listened, he noticed that Ma Li started humming along.
So he asked,
"Sister Li, do you know who this singer is? Their voice is quite unique!"
Ma Li was taken aback, looked at Ma Junjie, and said,
You don't even know Jay Chou?
Ma Junjie shook his head.
Ma Li sighed and stopped talking.
Ma Junjie also remembered this name for the first time.
Later, when he saw the posters everywhere in the store featuring a cool celebrity, he realized that Jay Chou looked just like that.
Seeing that Ma Junjie wasn't choosing any clothes, Ma Li finally decided to do it herself.
I picked out a pair of loose-fitting jeans for Ma Junjie, and also a black polo shirt.
At the final checkout, the pants cost 259 yuan, the shirt cost 159 yuan, and the total came to 418 yuan.
Ma Junjie was utterly stunned. A set of clothes costing over 400 yuan was something he never even dared to dream of.
However, Ma Li naturally paid for Ma Junjie's meal, and the waiter then put the money in a very high-end bag and handed it to Ma Li.
Ma Li then handed it to Ma Junjie and said...
"Ah Jie, this is yours!"
Ma Junjie expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
I picked up the bag and looked at it. It was a pretty paper bag with the male celebrity printed on it, and a line of text written on it:
Metersbonwe, taking the road less traveled.
Ma Junjie thought to himself, "This 'GG' is much better than that 'diao mao GG' from Jin Ke La."
He picked up the bag and suddenly felt it weighed a ton.
The two people walked outside.
Ma Junjie noticed that groups of young people were walking into the clothing store.
He didn't quite understand.
Why do so many people still come to this store to buy clothes when they are so expensive?
Perhaps there is only one possibility,
These city folks are really rich.
Ma Junjie thought for a moment; he only had eight hundred yuan on him.
If I pay for the clothes myself today, I'll only have a little over 300 left.
This money really doesn't last long, and it's never enough!
He made up his mind to find a job and earn money first, and then pay back all the money he had spent on Ma Li.
The two walked out of the market, stood by the roadside, flagged down a motorcycle, and then went home.
When they got home, Ma Li said to Ma Junjie,
"Ah Jie, put on your new clothes, I'll take you out to look for a job, let's try our luck."
Ma Junjie took the clothes out of the bag, smelled them, and said...
"Okay, these new clothes don't have any strange smell. You can wear them!"
As she spoke, she picked up her clothes and prepared to go to the restroom.
Ma Li called out to Ma Junjie.
"What's wrong? Afraid I'll eat you up?"
"What are you being shy about, you're a grown man? Just change right here!"
Ma Junjie looked at Ma Li and smiled.
"Sister Li, I'm so sorry."
"Tch, let's go, let's go, hurry up!" Ma Li waved her hand vigorously.
Ma Junjie chuckled and took his clothes into the bathroom.
Upon arriving at the restroom, Ma Junjie quickly took off his own clothes and put on the new outfit he had just bought.
Looking in the mirror, I wet my hands, splashed some water on my hair, and...
A gentle swipe,
I must say, clothes make the man, and the man in the mirror has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and well-defined features; he's quite handsome.
You get what you pay for; these clothes make the wearer look very smart.
For a fleeting moment, Ma Junjie felt that he did indeed resemble a celebrity.
I'm starting to love myself a little.
It's a pity that we're too far away to help.
If you can't do it yourself, then you can't say it.
He tidied himself up again, then went outside.
Ma Li stared wide-eyed at Ma Junjie, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
He clicked his tongue in praise.
He came up again, slapped his arm with a "smack," and said,
"Ah Jie, you look like a completely different person after changing your clothes! You're quite handsome!"
Then he walked behind him and, with a "smack," slapped his butt.
"These pants are pretty good too, quite sturdy!"
Ma Junjie saw that Ma Li's hand was about to reach in front of him.
He quickly took a few steps back and said,
"Sister Li, let's go, let's go out, let's go out..."
Ma Li smiled slightly and withdrew her hand.
"Okay, let's go!"
As she spoke, she slung her small bag over her shoulder and walked towards the door.
Just as she closed the door and stepped outside, "ring ring," Ma Li's cell phone rang in her handbag.
Ma Li unzipped her jacket and took out her phone.
He glanced at the screen and his face immediately fell.
She turned her head and answered the phone.
Ma Junjie faintly heard a man's voice coming from the other end of the phone.
A moment later, Ma Li hung up the phone and put it in her bag.
Ma Junjie greeted him with a smile and asked...
"Sister Li, are you alright?"
Ma Li answered coldly.
"Ah Jie, I have something urgent to attend to and need to go out."
"Ah Jie, I can't go with you to look for a job. Why don't you wander around on your own for a bit? Maybe you'll find some good luck!"
"Sister Li, I..." Ma Junjie wanted to say something more.
Ma Li looked very anxious.
With a droopy face, she swayed away in her high heels.
As Ma Li slowly disappeared from sight,
Ma Junjie sighed and looked ahead.
Ahead lay a row of dilapidated houses, some tall, some short, with people occasionally emerging from them, but all were unfamiliar faces.
Ma Junjie suddenly felt as if he were trapped in a thick fog, unable to see the direction.
With a screech, the car braked suddenly.
A car stopped in front of him.
Ma Junjie looked up and saw a black sedan with a logo that resembled a thong; he didn't recognize it.
The car was so close it almost ran over my foot.
He cursed a few times and left, intending to try his luck by hailing a motorcycle in the industrial area.
I had only taken a few steps when I heard the sound of a door opening rapidly, and someone shouting at the same time.
"Ah Jie, Ah Jie, don't go!"
Ma Junjie thought he had misheard.
After all, nobody in this city knows him.
He turned his head in a daze and suddenly saw a girl walking towards him.
Ma Junjie glanced at the heaving, bouncing chest.
I remembered it quickly.
It's Xiaohong.
Xiao Hong smiled, still chewing her gum, and stared at Ma Junjie as she spoke.
"Holy crap, it really is you!"
"Ah Jie, you've changed your clothes and it's like you've gotten a new head! Damn, you look more and more like Takeshi Kaneshiro!"
This was the second time Ma Junjie had heard the name Takeshi Kaneshiro.
At the same time, she realized that Xiao Hong was praising her, and said with a smile.
"Sister Hong, thank you. Why are you back again?"
Xiao Hong turned her head to look.
At this moment, the driver's side door of the car opened, and a middle-aged man with a large belly and a bald head got out of the car.
Xiao Hong shouted,
"Mr. Li, don't come down yet, wait for me!"
Mr. Li got down, walked towards Xiao Hong, glanced at Ma Junjie expressionlessly, and asked...
"Xiao Hong, who is this?"
"Oh, this is Ah Jie, my roommate's cousin, so he's kind of my cousin too. He just came from the countryside!"
Upon hearing this, General Manager Li finally smiled, looked Ma Junjie up and down, and said...
"Not bad, quite a handsome young man!"
Xiao Hong laughed and said to Ma Junjie,
"Ah Jie, wait for me a moment, I'm going back to get something."
"Hey, Sister Hong, I..."
Little Red didn't even turn around before running away...
