Chapter 14: Man, you have to adapt to this society

  Insufficient balance

  Zhang Yang returned from taking a bath and changed into his newly bought clothes.

  Looking at Zhang Yang wearing old-fashioned clothes, dirty and stained like a migrant worker, Wang Yue opened her mouth wide in surprise: "You're just wearing these?"

  "What's wrong? They're all new and of good quality."

  Wang Yue patted his head and said: "I admit defeat, how long have you been out?"

  "It's been almost two months."

  "It's almost two months now, and you're still wearing these? Don't you know that in a big city, you need to dress nicely to find a good job?" Wang Yue said.

  Only after asking further did Wang Yue learn that Zhang Yang had just lost his job and was now unemployed.

  Wang Yue let Zhang Yang open the closet, and when she looked inside, they were all some outdated clothes. It wasn't that the clothes weren't valuable or good just because they were old, but rather Zhang Yang's clothes were really too old-fashioned. An eighteen- or nineteen-year-old big boy wearing thirty-something-year-old clothes, and that camouflage outfit made her want to go crazy.

  "Come on, follow me downtown, I'll buy you some clothes!" Wang Yue said without hesitation.

  Zhang Yang had no choice but to follow Wang Yue with a sad face.

  Wang Yue directly took Zhang Yang into the Li Ning specialty store. After entering, she chose a black sportswear set for Zhang Yang and gestured to the salesperson: "Get an XXL size."

  Soon Zhang Yang put it on and came out, indeed people are clothes and horses are saddles. Wearing this set of sportswear, the image changed at once. With a height of over 1.8 meters and a robust figure, wearing black sports pants and a T-shirt, he instantly transformed from a migrant worker to an athlete.

  Wang Yue looked him up and down, nodded, and handed over a pair of sneakers: "Go in and change into these."

  "Big Sister Wang!"

  Wang Yue's eyes widened and said, "Huh, are my words ineffective?"

  Zhang Yang didn't dare make another sound and hastily went in to change his shoes.

  The salesgirl smiled and said, "Your boyfriend is really obedient!"

  "Men are just hopeless!"

  Deng Zhangyang came out this time, and Wang Yue nodded: "Not bad, this still has a bit of a man's appearance! Go settle the bill!"

  Zhang Yang wanted to take away the clothes he had exchanged, but Wang Yue said discontentedly: "Don't want those clothes, they're too outdated."

  "That's all brand new stuff I just bought."

  Wang Yue dragged Zhang Yang to the checkout counter without letting go of his hand.

  "The total is 1,320 yuan."

  Zhang Yang grew up and said with a big mouth: "So expensive? Sister Wang, let's go buy somewhere else!"

  "Cut the crap and pay up!"

  Zhang Yang just realized he had to pay for it himself, and he still thought Wang Yue was going to buy it for him.

  "You see what I'm doing? I've already told you, I don't have a single penny left."

  Zhang Yang cried with a sad face: "I only have 500 cash, and it's not enough!"

  Wang Yuedao said: "Don't you have a bank card? You paid half a year's rent in one go yesterday, don't tell me you're out of money now?"

  Zhang Yang reluctantly pulled out his bank card and handed it to the cashier.

  The cashier smiled at the couple and said, "Enter your password!"

  Zhang Yang entered without any defense, and Wang Yue leaned over: "Let me see how much money you have left?"

  Seeing the numbers above, Wang Yue blinked her eyes and stared at Zhang Yang in disbelief. There were actually over 300,000 yuan! Good heavens, this kid had so much money!

  After the two of them left, the salesperson walked over to the cashier and said: "That kid is a freeloader, look at those tattered clothes he exchanged!"

  The cashier shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong, that kid paid for it himself. There's still over 300,000 yuan in the bank card, maybe he's a rich kid trying to pick up girls."

  Not mentioning the two gossip girls discussing elsewhere, after leaving Li Ning's specialty store, Wang Yue still couldn't accept it. This young man who just started working, how could he have so much money?

  After walking a few steps, Wang Yue couldn't suppress her curiosity and pulled Zhang Yang to ask: "Tell me, where did you get so much money from?"

  Zhang Yang's heart tightened, he had expected her to ask, and according to the lines he had thought of beforehand, said: "I won 4 million in a scratch-off lottery!"

  Wang Yue exclaimed in surprise: "Really?"

  "Really, the winning certificate is still in my bag! If you don't believe me, I'll go back and get it to show you!"

  After finishing, Zhang Yang looked at Wang Yue with some guilt. Logically speaking, since he and Wang Yue had that kind of relationship, he shouldn't have kept it from her. But neither his X-ray vision nor the gold bars could be revealed to anyone, so he had no choice but to deceive Wang Yue a little. However, this couldn't be considered lying, as he really did win the prize, it's just that the prize money had already been given to his parents.

  Wang Yue accepted Zhang Yang's explanation and gave him a punch on the head, saying: "I said so, you stinky little kid, how dare you rent such an expensive house without working, it turns out you have money!"

  Zhang Yang burst out laughing and said: "I'm just lucky, I always win when I buy scratch-off lottery tickets."

  He wanted to make an appointment with Wang Yue in advance, because he still had to continue buying scratch-off lottery tickets, so that Wang Yue wouldn't feel abrupt.

  "Really?"

  Zhang Yang said: "You don't believe it? Let's go to the lottery station and try our luck. I think my luck today will be pretty good."

  Wang Yue said happily: "What are we waiting for? Let's go and give it a try!"

  Two people found a lottery station and walked in. Wang Yue shouted as soon as she entered the door: "Boss, bring ten scratch-off lotteries."

  The boss asked: "What denomination do you want?"

  Wang Yuedao said: "Twenty."

  Zhang Yang grabbed Wang Yue and said: "I only buy up to 10 yuan, I've never bought 20 yuan."

  Wang Yue said in a low voice: "If you spend 10 yuan, you can win 400,000. If you spend 20 yuan, you might even win 1 million. Listen to me."

  Zhang Yang had no choice but to follow Wang Yue and walk over, taking out 200 yuan to hand to the boss, saying: "I'll choose myself!"

  The boss took out a stack and said: "Choose for yourself!"

  Zhang Yang took a look at the rules, lowered his head, and was about to close one eye when he suddenly remembered that both eyes could see clearly last night. He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart, so he decided to try it out and see if both eyes were working now.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  "Sure enough, a magical scene unfolded, and two eyes lit up at the same time. The numbers under the scratch card were revealed."

  Staring blankly at the incredible scene, Zhang Yang was so excited that he almost shouted out loud. Finally, he didn't have to keep his eyes closed all the time when looking at things.

  Wang Yue pushed Zhang Yang and said: "What are you dazing about? Hurry up and choose!"

  "Alright, I'll go pick some right away."

  There was Wang Yue, Zhang Yang didn't dare to choose all the middle ones. Among the ten, there were four prizes, and what excited Zhang Yang was that one of them won 5,000 yuan, which was also why he didn't want those small prizes. This one was enough. After choosing, he handed over half to Wang Yue, including the 5,000-yuan one, which he also left for Wang Yue.

  He knew how happy it was when he won, and wanted Wang Yue to feel this happiness.

  As expected, Wang Yue went crazy and shouted, hugging Zhang Yang tightly, and kissed his cheek, saying: "I won, I won, haha, I won 5,000."

  The others in the lottery station looked at this young couple with envy.

  A single person envied and said: "Congratulations! You little lovers are really lucky!"

  Zhang Yang was laughing foolishly.

  Out of the lottery station, Wang Yue still had a happy smile on her face, and her hands naturally wrapped around Zhang Yang's arm.
