12 Confidently Living Off Others
At first, Lila truly believed that William was full of lies, thinking that his story of coming from the mountains was all just to grab attention and pique her interest.
But as they spent time together, the questions William asked were too foolish.
If William was really interested in dating her, this kind of behavior was woefully inadequate.
Thinking back to the new identity his grandfather had arranged for him, she became somewhat skeptical and uncertain.
While browsing a phone store in the University Town with William, Lila couldn't help but ask: "Do you... want to buy a phone?"
William had already returned her phone. When Lila asked him this question, he replied somberly, "I don't have any money. These things are probably expensive."
Ha! Lila laughed, of course she knew William had no money. Would asking him whether to buy a phone make him spend money?
"Not too expensive," Lila joked, "Worst case scenario, I'll lend you the money and you can pay me back when you have it."
"Deal!" said William seriously. "Keep track of what you spend for me today and I'll pay you back when I have the money."
"Alright, alright! You hurry up and choose a phone. I have plans to go to the museum with digital interactive displays." Lila had fulfilled the task assigned by her grandfather. Despite his numerous questions, at least William was not too annoying.
Lila also planned to go about her own business.
" museum with digital interactive displays?" William's eyes clearly revealed a string of question marks.
Ssssh--
Lila couldn't help but gasp, this guy had just learned about mobile phones, he certainly wouldn't be familiar with a museum's digital interactive displays on ancient artifacts.
"A "museum with digital interactive displays" refers to a museum that incorporates modern technology into its exhibits by using digital screens or interfaces that allow visitors to interact with them.A museum is a place to display artifacts," Lila explained patiently, "The so-called artifacts are relics and sites left by humans in social activities that have historical, artistic, and scientific value... Do you know what antiques are?"
Lila noticed that William looked at her a bit oddly.
"I know about antiques, you don't need to go through so much trouble explaining."
Lila nearly choked, why did she feel that William's gaze just now was like looking at an idiot?
Please! Who was the one acting like an idiot, not knowing anything?
William asked, "I'd also like to visit the museum, I won't be disturbing you, will I?"
"Of course not!" The smile on Lila's face was beyond awkward.
She really lowered her guard today.
After picking up William, waiting for him at the boys' dormitory for so long, making it known to the whole school.
Just now, she spent so long walking around the school with William. To others, they must have looked like a young couple strolling around.
And now, taking him to the museum?
What if her good friends saw this, she might have to spend a long time explaining.
But, today's events, would probably soon be known to the whole school.
Misunderstandings were inevitable.
Lila couldn't explain it, and she didn't feel like explaining.
After William entered the phone shop, a salesperson quickly came to greet them.
With Lila's temperament and dress, the salesperson couldn't help but take a second glance.
"Are you two here to buy a phone or top up your balance?"
"Please choose a phone for him," Lila said, then paused, "Actually, nevermind choosing, just get him an iPhone."
The salesperson perked up at this. They had hit the jackpot!
"What color would you like?" the salesperson asked, eyes filled with excitement. Judging from Lila's tone, she was not the kind to haggle. If sold at the original price, a 30% commission would be a pretty good deal.
Lila turned to ask William, "What color do you want?"
William had asked a lot of questions on the way and had a rough understanding of the purchasing power of money now. He hesitated and asked, "Wait, how much is this phone you're talking about?"
The salesperson quickly answered, "Sir, the iPhone the lady mentioned is Apple's latest model. Today's price is $1099."
"That expensive?" Without thinking, William said, "Get me one for a hundred dollars."
"..." The excited smile on the salesperson's face froze.
Wasn't this drop too dramatic?
Just about to sell a thousand-dollar phone, and he wants one under a hundred?
A hundred?!
Can you buy a smartphone for a hundred dollars nowadays?
The salesperson wanted to ask him if he wanted to choose a phone designed for the elderly.
Lila also awkwardly stood in place, staring at William, saying, "This phone is a gift from me, you don't have to pay me back, okay?"
"No way!" William shook his head, "We aren't that close, I can't accept such a gift. As I said earlier, the money spent today is borrowed from you. I applied for a job yesterday, the boss said it pays $1800 a month. If I really bought this phone, I wouldn't be able to eat or drink for a month."
Lila felt suffocated, you know we aren't close?
"Fine, have it your way then!" Lila was also frustrated.
The salesperson could only say, "Sir, since the lady has said that the phone is a gift to you, why don't you accept it?"
William shook his head, "Get me one under a hundred."
At this moment, he seemed like an old-fashioned elder.
"But we don't have any smartphones under a hundred dollars here!" The salesperson was anxious. This guy was being offered a phone by a beauty like Lila, yet he didn't accept it.
He insisted on a phone under a hundred. Where would they find that?
Wasn't this making life difficult?
"What's the cheapest?" William didn't waste words, he went straight for the cheapest.
The salesperson was in a complicated mood, but all they could do was ask, "The cheapest one is this Redmi1 phone for $128, would you like it?"
"That's the one."
Their trip to the phone store was seen by many students in the school.
After all, a girl like Lila was always the brightest star wherever she went.
Lila wanted to buy someone the latest iPhone, but the guy said he wasn't familiar with her and chose a $128 Redmi phone.
This was a massive plot twist.
Another key point was, the guy said he earns $1800 a month.
How could such a poor loser dare to stand next to Lila, and even look so tough?
Could it be the real-life story of a rich girl falling in love with a poor boy?
For a while, some onlookers started posting on their Moments, believing in love again.
The story of William and Lila spread throughout the entire school in less than ten minutes and even made it to the school forum.
It was truly terrifying.
And yet, the two parties involved remained oblivious.
