Noticing the handsome young man behind her hadn't spoken for a while, Qin Bingyue turned her head, a little curious.
She asked softly, "What's wrong, Brother Li? Is there something wrong with my name?"
"No, it's just that your name is so beautiful, as beautiful as you are!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's praise, Qin Bingyue giggled. She looked at Li Qingfeng behind her and teased, "Brother Li, you're so good with words, there must be many girls who like you!"
Li Qingfeng, who had intended to continue, suddenly thought of his current appearance.
After a moment's thought, he didn't follow up on her words. After all, his current situation was already beyond what he knew how to handle. He had no idea what to do.
Li Qingfeng fell silent, and Qin Bingyue didn't ask further. Instead, she gently took out a phone with a broken apple logo from the counter below.
There were three of them in total, all of the same model, likely sourced from the same supplier.
They came in three colors: white, gold, and pink.
First, Li Qingfeng immediately dismissed the pink one. As a grown man, how could he possibly use a pink phone? That would be asking for trouble.
Then, only two colors remained: white and gold.
Gold didn't seem quite fitting for his age, so Li Qingfeng finally chose the white model, which he felt would complement his age and was a popular choice among young people.
With that in mind, Li Qingfeng spoke directly, "I'll take this one. I want to try this phone first!"
Upon hearing his words, Qin Bingyue, standing in front of him, immediately took out the phone and demonstrated to Li Qingfeng how to use it.
Her meticulous actions were a stark contrast to the staff at the phone store across the street.
He picked up the phone and fiddled with it casually. Indeed, all the functions were complete, and it seemed like a decent phone.
So, Li Qingfeng put the phone down and asked about the price.
"How much is this white broken apple logo phone?"
"3100 yuan!"
"Oh, and Brother Li, this is called an Apple phone, the fourth generation! You can call it an Apple Four!"
After hearing Qin Bingyue's repeated emphasis, Li Qingfeng nodded and agreed.
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng took out a large stack of flyers he had with him, containing seventeen or eighteen discount coupons for the phone store.
With these coupons, Li Qingfeng handed them directly to Qin Bingyue.
Indeed, even Qin Bingyue was surprised to see so many coupons.
She quickly asked, "Brother Li, where did you get so many coupons for our store?"
"When I just entered the phone megamart, I ran into aunties handing out flyers, and I accidentally took all their flyers!"
Upon hearing his words, Qin Bingyue was utterly impressed.
Afterward, she sorted through all the coupons. Most of them were duplicates, and only three coupons could be used together.
These were a 95% discount coupon and two coupons worth fifty yuan each.
Then, Qin Bingyue took out her antique calculator and started calculating the total.
"Reset! 1 plus, 3100..."
"Brother Li, the final amount is 2845 yuan! You can just pay 2840 yuan!"
Hearing Qin Bingyue's words, Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and then directly took out 2900 yuan.
"No need for change, 2900 yuan is perfect!"
However, after hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Qin Bingyue refused and insisted on giving him a pair of earphones and a power bank before letting him leave.
"By the way, do you have phone cards here?"
Just as he was about to leave, Li Qingfeng suddenly remembered something very important.
He had bought a phone, but he hadn't bought a SIM card!
"Yes, we have those!"
In phone megamarts, almost everyone who sells phones also sells SIM cards.
Qin Bingyue chose a plan for Li Qingfeng with a monthly fee of forty-nine yuan and ninety cents, which included several gigabytes of data and free calls.
It even luxuriously included a ringtone.
Li Qingfeng looked at the ringtone option Qin Bingyue pointed out and thought for a moment before selecting a very melancholic ringtone.
"The Funeral of Roses!"
The Funeral of Roses
Burying memories of you,
My hands feel numb.
I can't control myself,
I can't hold onto you anymore.
It was truly beautiful,
That fireworks rain that day,
I said I would marry you, who wore a floral dress!
...
Li Qingfeng hummed this song softly.
He recalled that this was the first song he learned to sing at Huaqing University and had sung it consistently ever since.
Feeling the sorrowful beauty of the song, he suddenly felt like shedding tears.
Looking at the bustling scene around him, as prosperous as ever, he couldn't help but say,
"Things are the same, but people have changed; though the world remains, all is altered, and tears fall before words can be uttered!"
"Life cannot be relived, and the past is too painful to recall!"
Listening to Li Qingfeng's words, Qin Bingyue, who was helping him choose a ringtone, looked at him curiously.
The way he hummed those few lines earlier sounded like a story.
As Li Qingfeng finished singing, Qin Bingyue beside him applauded enthusiastically.
Li Qingfeng took his Apple Four phone and played "Good Luck is Coming."
"Good luck is coming, wishing you good luck!"
He walked all the way to the stingy woman's stall and directly showed off his Apple Four phone in front of her.
Seeing the white Apple Four phone in Li Qingfeng's hand, the stingy woman's expression immediately froze. She looked at Qin Bingyue behind him with an unfriendly expression.
Seeing her reaction, Li Qingfeng knew that this pimply, ugly woman's heart was as ugly as her appearance.
Even at this point, she hadn't reflected on her own shortcomings.
Therefore, Li Qingfeng, feeling quite pleased, decided to teach her a lesson.
He stood directly beside her stall, took out a stack of coupons from his backpack, and shouted loudly, "Coupons! Coupons! All the surrounding stores have discounts, but this place doesn't even have discounts! Not only that, but their prices are high and their quality is poor, making it the best choice for buying a phone!"
"Welcome everyone to come and buy!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, the woman initially felt quite good, truly believing he was constantly promoting her.
She kept smiling and waving to the people nearby, shouting, "You can all come! We have all brands of phones!"
