Chapter 1245 A small act of kindness, sapphire necklace

The sun was shining brightly at noon in June. Even in the northern capital, the weather was still relatively hot. There were very few pedestrians on the road, but there were quite a few vehicles.

Even though it is only 2002, in the capital, vehicles are no longer considered a luxury for many people. The average well-off family can afford a car, but there are still only a few people who actually buy a car.

However, the capital is the capital after all. Even though there are only a few people with cars, the population base is here, so there is an endless stream of vehicles driving on the roads.

When Zhou Chen drove Wang Ying to school, he suddenly slowed down and braked at an intersection.

"Why did it slow down?" Wang Ying asked puzzledly.

Zhou Chen quickly parked the car on the side of the road and told Wang Ying: "Don't get out of the car. Wait for me in the car. I'll be here soon."

After saying that, he quickly got out of the car and ran back, leaving Wang Ying confused. She also opened the door and got out of the car, looking towards Zhou Chen.

"Hey, no, where are you going?"

Zhou Chen ran back almost a hundred meters and came to the bicycle lane next to him. There was a tricycle on the road, which was Zhou Chen's target.

When I came to the tricycle, I saw that the wheel of the tricycle was stuck in the broken manhole cover. An elderly man was trying hard to push the tricycle out, but the wheel was stuck nearly half way. Her strength was limited.

I really can't push it through.

"Old lady, let me help you. You step in front and I push you in the back."

The old lady was almost seventy years old, and most of her hair, starting from the top of her head, was white. When she heard Zhou Chen's words, she immediately said gratefully: "Young man, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, it's just a matter of convenience. Anyone who sees it will help. You go to the front first and I will help you push it."

"I'll push it with you."

"No need, I'm young and strong, just step on the pedals in front of me."

"Okay, okay, thank you, young man."

After the old lady got on the car, she stepped on it hard. As soon as Zhou Chen exerted his strength, the tricycle came up. It was really easy for him, but for an old man in his seventies, it was not that easy.

, not to mention that this is a tricycle that contains a lot of stuff and sells braised food.

After the old lady got out of the car, she was extremely grateful: "Young man, thank you so much. I'll give you some braised food. It's all made at home. It's very fresh and delicious."

As she said this, she was about to serve Zhou Chen some braised food such as chicken feet and wings.

Zhou Chen hurriedly refused: "No, old lady, I see you are quite old. Why are you riding out alone to sell braised meat at noon? Even if you want to sell, you should wait until the evening."

The old lady sighed: "This is actually my daughter-in-law's stall. It's not uncomfortable for her. My son took her to the hospital for medical treatment. This braised food is freshly made. It won't be fresh if it's not taken out and sold.

That’s why I hid it from them and sold it alone.”

"It's just that my old lady won't say that the sales were low and I almost fell down when I went back. Alas, I am old and can't do anything I want to do. If it weren't for you, young man, I don't know what I would have done today."

"Old lady, you are serious. I just helped you with a small favor. Even if I didn't come, someone would pass by and help. You don't have to be too polite, old lady."

The old lady insisted on bringing braised meat to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, the old lady brought him a lot at once.

"Young man, these are all fresh. You can take them home and eat them. They are delicious. My daughter-in-law makes this braised food very delicious."

"Then thank you."

Zhou Chen took it, pushed her away, and then stuffed two bills into the braised food box when the old lady wasn't paying attention.

After watching the old lady leave on a braised tricycle, Zhou Chen went back carrying the plastic bag containing braised food.

From a distance, he saw Wang Ying standing next to the car. He walked over and said, "Didn't I ask you to wait in the car? It's quite sunny outside."

Wang Ying didn't say anything, she just looked straight at Zhou Chen, then suddenly rushed over, hugged Zhou Chen tightly, and gave him a sweet kiss.

Zhou Chen was a little dazed, but he hugged Wang Ying. After a few seconds, Wang Ying left Zhou Chen's arms.

"What's wrong? You come here all of a sudden and you're still on the road. This is not like your character."

Although Wang Ying is jokingly called the eldest lady, she is actually somewhat reserved like a eldest lady. She rarely takes the initiative to get close to Zhou Chen in public, let alone such a passionate kiss on the roadside.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that you are so kind."

Wang Ying's eyes were filled with smiles, and her smile was like a beautiful scenery, making people want to record this beautiful moment involuntarily.

Although Zhou Chen helped the old man push the tricycle just now, it was just a small thing, but not everyone would do it, especially Zhou Chen who drove by and stopped to help.

Such a small act of kindness made her feel very dazzling and a shining point.

Zhou Chen's ability to treat strangers like this shows that he must be kind in his heart, and he is very proud of having such a kind boyfriend.

"I've always been fine. Well, I suddenly discovered it."

Zhou Chen lightly flicked her forehead and raised the plastic bag in his hand.

"The grandma just gave me braised food. You can share it with the dormitory later."

"Ah? You took other people's things?"

"What are you thinking? I gave you the money. Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others?"

"no."

Wang Ying would not feel unhygienic when something was handed over from Zhou Chen, and took it easily.

After sending Wang Ying downstairs to the girls' dormitory, Zhou Chen took out a key from the car.

"This is the key to my school dormitory. I'll give you one. If you feel that you can't study safely elsewhere, come to my place and be quiet."

Wang Ying took the key without hesitation: "Okay, I understand. Let's go upstairs first. You can go and do your work."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Wang Ying returned to the dormitory with light steps. Xu Lin, who was reading a comic book, saw her.

"Hey, Wang Ying, I'm so happy today. Did Zhou Chen take you to something delicious again?"

"I was unhappy one day. There is not much delicious food, but there is a lot of braised food. No, I brought it here specially for you."

Wang Ying handed the braised food in her hand to Xu Lin. When Xu Lin saw it, he shouted happily: "Wang Ying, you are so kind to me. You don't forget me even when you have food. I love you to death."

"

As she said that, she was about to rush over to hug Wang Ying, but Wang Ying stopped her urgently: "Don't come over, don't come over, just eat your food quickly."

Xu Lin didn't mind either. He happily opened the plastic bag without washing his hands. He picked up a chicken foot and gnawed it. Wang Ying shook her head.

"Where are Qiaoqiao and Qianxi?"

Xu Lin gnawed on the chicken feet and answered vaguely: "Qiao Qiao hasn't been back since yesterday. Qian Xi is naturally studying in the library with He Xiaozhou."

Wang Ying nodded, and then she took the book and read it carefully.

Zhou Chen went to participate in the auction of Jade Ranking Company. There were many works of art in this auction, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but there were not many that could make Zhou Chen's heart beat. He did bid a few times, but none of them

Didn't follow to the end.

In the past few years, he had bought a lot of antiques abroad, but he had not brought them back home. After all, he had no foundation in China at that time.

He just bought one. After the auction ended, he looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he walked around and had a bite.

By the time he drove back to Beiqing University, it was already past eight o'clock. When he arrived downstairs in the girls' dormitory, he called Wang Ying.

But the person who answered the phone was not Wang Ying, but Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao said that Wang Ying had fallen asleep, so Zhou Chen asked Xie Qiao not to disturb Wang Ying and asked her to come down.

Xie Qiao quickly ran down in slippers. When she saw Zhou Chen, she asked, "What did you ask me to come down to get?"

Zhou Chen handed her a handbag in his hand and said, "This is a small gift I bought for Wang Ying. You can take it and give it to her."

Xie Qiao took it and said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, you are too arrogant. You send things to Wang Ying every three days, and the things you send are very expensive every time. You make us feel uncomfortable like this. Anyway,

Also consider the feelings of ordinary people like us, okay."

"Okay, then next time I go shopping, I'll bring one for the three of you."

"No, please don't. We don't dare to ask for the things you gave us. It's scary."

Xie Qiao just complained casually, how could she really dare to accept Zhou Chen's gift? Even if she was young, she would not dare to accept it, let alone Xiao Qianxi and Xu Lin.

"I've got the stuff, so I'll go up first."

"Well, thank you."

"You're still polite to me."

Xie Qiao dragged her slippers on again and ran back to the dormitory.

At this time, except for Wang Ying who was asleep in the dormitory, Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi were still asleep. Seeing Xie Qiao come back, Xu Lin saw what she had in her hand at a glance.

"Hey, this is your little one's gift to Wang Ying again. It's good to have money. You get famous brand gifts every day. Why don't I have such a good fortune as Wang Ying?"

Xiao Qianxi said with a smile: "There is no way, everyone's destiny is determined by fate at the beginning, but if you are willing to work hard the day after tomorrow, you will be able to change your destiny in the future."

This was said not only to Xu Lin, but also to remind himself that since the starting point is not as good as others, then he must work harder.

Xie Qiao was about to put the things in Wang Ying's cabinet when Xu Lin suddenly took them over.

"Let me see what good things Zhou Chen has given me this time?"

"Xu Lin, no, this is for Wang Ying, we can't open it."

Xie Qiao's words made Xu Lin stop what he was doing and regretfully handed it back to Xie Qiao.

"What a pity. Wang Ying fell asleep. I really wanted to wake her up and let her see what Zhou Chen had given me. I am so curious."

Although she is usually careless and looks reckless, she is actually measured.

Xie Qiao looked at Wang Ying who was sleeping and said: "But Wang Ying seemed really tired today. She fell asleep not long after returning to the dormitory, and she slept so deeply. Usually we can ignore even the slightest sound.

She woke up, and the cell phone was ringing in her ears just now, but it didn't wake her up."

Xu Lin said: "I guess it's because she has been very tired from studying recently. Ever since she fell in love with Zhou Chen, she has obviously been distracted. Now that the semester is about to end, she has started cramming; but I do think that she is such a big girl.

Miss, why are you working harder than me?"

Xiao Qianxi said: "Wang Ying comes from such a good family and they all study so hard. And Zhou Chen is also a top student at Stanford University. I heard that his grades are also top-notch, so they all work so hard. We

What reason do these people have for not working hard?”

"The truth is this, but learning this kind of thing also depends on talent. I studied hard in high school and was admitted to Beiqing. I thought I could relax and be free, but I didn't expect that in college there are still

It’s really unbearable to be curled up like this.”

Xie Qiao nodded in agreement. Most of the reasons why she was admitted to Beiqing were because she was a local. If she had gone to other provinces, she felt that she would definitely have no chance.

I studied hard in high school, and wanted to take it easy when I got to college. But now it seems that taking it easy means falling behind. It's too difficult, and this place is too unfriendly to poor students.

The rays of morning light fell on Wang Ying's face, awakening her from her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, her body felt exhausted, as if she had had a nightmare, but after waking up, she was in good spirits.

She stretched and sat up from the bed.

"Oh my god, Wang Ying, you finally woke up. You've been sleeping for twelve hours. If you don't wake up, I'm going to splash you awake."

As soon as Wang Ying looked up, she saw a head falling from the upper bunk, and it turned out to be Xu Lin.

"Did I sleep that long?"

She was also very surprised that she actually slept for more than ten hours. It seemed that she really exercised too much the night before and last morning.

It’s all Zhou Chen’s fault!

"Yeah, this is the first time we've seen you sleep for so long. You really work hard. Even if you're reviewing, you don't need to stay up like this, right?"

Wang Ying was speechless. What kind of review was needed to make her so tired?

Xie Qiao said: "Wang Ying, Zhou Chen came to see you yesterday. He saw that you were sleeping and didn't call you. He brought something for you. I put it in your cabinet. Do you want me to bring it to you?"

"Zhou Chen has been here. I'm still a little confused now. Qiao Qiao, please give it to me."

"OK."

Xie Qiao went over and took the things Zhou Chen sent and handed them to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying took out a beautifully packaged jewelry box from her handbag, and the eyes of Xie Qiao and the others were involuntarily drawn to it.

"It seems that Zhou Chen gave me jewelry this time. In such a big box, it should be either a ring, a necklace or a bracelet."

Ignoring Xu Lin's muttering, Wang Ying opened the jewelry box directly. The next moment, a dazzling blue light appeared in the eyes of several people.

If it were just the light of the jewelry, it wouldn't be dazzling. The main reason is that Wang Ying's position is just under the sun. Under the sunlight, the light will naturally be more vivid and dazzling.

"OMG."

Xu Lin couldn't help but scream, and Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi also opened their mouths.

Women have a natural desire and possessiveness for sparkling jewelry, let alone the bright sapphire in Wang Ying's hand.

"Is this a blue gem? Or a diamond?"

Xie Qiao couldn't control herself and sat directly beside Wang Ying's bed. Xiao Qianxi also leaned over, and Xu Lin jumped down from the upper bunk and squeezed in.

Wang Ying was not sure either: "It should be sapphire."

"How much does it cost for such a big sapphire? It can't be fake, right?"

Wang Ying glared at Xu Lin angrily. She didn't know the value, but she didn't think Zhou Chen would give her a fake jewelry.

"I'll call and ask."

Wang Ying put the sapphire necklace on the bed, picked up her cell phone and called Zhou Chen.

Soon she learned from Zhou Chen that this was a sapphire necklace that Zhou Chen bought at the auction yesterday. It was genuine and cost more than 800,000 yuan.

"Eight, more than eight hundred thousand? Damn it, Zhou Chen, just treat yourself as a human being." Xu Lin looked up to the sky and sighed.

Xie Qiao was also very frightened. This was several times more than the last time, which cost more than 180,000 yuan in clothes and bags.

"With more than 800,000 yuan, you can buy several houses in the capital, right?"

Xiao Qianxi: "If more than 800,000 yuan is deposited in the bank, how much interest can be earned every year?"

The more than 800,000 yuan in 2002 was really quite a lot.

Wang Ying also looked happy. This sapphire necklace was specially made and it was indeed very beautiful.

She and Zhou Chen took the final step the night before yesterday, and Zhou Chen gave her such a precious gift the next day, so she was naturally happy.

"It's a pity. It's just too conspicuous to take out."

If this sapphire necklace was taken out, it would definitely be very conspicuous. She didn't want to make it an eye-catching bag.

Xie Qiao suggested: "Wang Ying, I think you should ask your driver to come over and take this baby home. If something goes wrong if it is kept in the dormitory, we will be sold.

I can’t even afford to pay for it.”

"Now that I think about it, I was really brave last night. I was throwing it around when I got it back. Fortunately, it didn't break. Otherwise, I would have just jumped off the building."

Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi nodded in agreement. It looks good. They like it very much and want it, but its value is too scary.

Wang Ying also understood Xie Qiao's good intentions, so she said: "Okay, I understand, I will take it back today."

Even so, she couldn't help but take out the sapphire necklace, put it around her neck, and tried it on in front of the mirror.

"Wang Ying, with more than 800,000 yuan around your neck, is your neck tired? If more than 800,000 yuan were to fall on me, it would really kill me."

"Wang Ying, please slow down, I'm a little scared looking at you."

Xie Qiao followed Wang Ying cautiously, fearing that Wang Ying's hand would shake and drop the necklace, which would be really fatal.

Xiao Qianxi, who had always studied the most diligently, could not understand the content of the book at this time.

In the afternoon, Wang Ying came home and played with it for a long time. Finally, when she saw the statue carved for her by Zhou Chen, her eyes suddenly lit up and she hung the sapphire necklace around the neck of her statue.

"Perfect!"

In the evening, she made an appointment with Zhou Chen to have dinner together.

"I like the sapphire necklace you gave me very much, thank you."

Zhou Chen was also very happy when he heard that Wang Ying said he liked her. Spending money to make his girlfriend happy was a very cost-effective thing in his opinion.

Money is not a good thing, but it is also the most simple and unpretentious thing. It can buy too many things, even people's emotions, so it is absolutely impossible not to have money.

"Since you like it, why don't you wear it?"

"I would like to wear it, but it's too conspicuous. I don't want to wear it and be stared at all the time."

Zhou Chen slapped his head: "Yes, this was my oversight. I just thought it looked good and bought it without thinking too much. It's really not convenient to wear. I'll buy something more low-key next time."

"Farewell, the few times you gave me things, you made Xie Qiao and the others so jealous that they started to unite to denounce us both."

"Then I will give it to you when we are alone together."

Wang Ying showed a happy smile and did not refuse, but she was also thinking in her heart that she could not always let Zhou Chen give her things, she also had to prepare some surprises for Zhou Chen.

A few days later, Wang Ying found Zhou Chen and asked, "Do you want to go to the island country to watch the World Cup?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Yang Cheng said that he was going to the island country to watch the World Cup and asked me if I wanted to go with him. I didn't care. I just came to ask you. If you want to go, then we will go together."

"Going to an island country?"

When Zhou Chen thought about it, it didn't matter whether he watched the World Cup or not, but if he could travel to the island country with Wang Ying, it would be a good choice.

"Yes, but time is tight. Can I get a visa?"

"No problem. Anyway, you have a passport and can get a visa very quickly. Just leave it to Yang Cheng."

Considering Wang Ying and Yang Cheng's family, it is very easy to get a passport and visa.

"Then don't review, the final exam is coming."

"It's okay, just make sure you don't fail the exam. I still have this confidence. I'll call Yang Cheng now."
