BC Chapter 183

“How is it?” Yao Jinglin stood up from the waiting area bench in the bank, looking at Lu Ziming walking towards her, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Lu Ziming smiled slightly, waving the newly minted bank card in her hand, “Well, it’s done. The banking service here is quite efficient, especially in this special period. They have received official notification to expedite and simplify the process for the convenience of the survivors, saving a lot of unnecessary time.”

She paused and continued, “However, my SIM card hasn’t been replaced, and I haven’t bought a new phone yet. So, I have to go to the commercial street in the center of Sheng’an City to take care of these trivial matters.”

Hearing this, Yao Jinglin seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly taking out her newly bought phone, unlocking it as she spoke, “Oh right, I don’t have your phone number yet. For easy contact in the future, save your number in my phone now.” As she spoke, she directly stuffed the phone into Lu Ziming’s hand, signaling her to hurry up and do it.

Lu Ziming, holding Yao Jinglin’s phone, was slightly stunned for a moment – when did they become so familiar? To the point of exchanging phone numbers?

However, these thoughts in her mind flashed by and were quickly dismissed by Lu Ziming. After all, it was just a phone number, and it didn’t matter to Lu Ziming if she gave it to her. Moreover, as Yao Jinglin said, there might be many things in the future that required them to communicate and confirm with each other. If they couldn’t get in touch by phone, wouldn’t that add a lot of unnecessary trouble?

After adding the phone number, the two immediately left the bank and drove together to the bustling commercial district in the city center. It gathered many large business halls and a wide variety of comprehensive brand mobile phone stores. Their destination was clear – first replace the SIM card, and then buy a brand new mobile phone. After completing these two tasks, Lu Ziming’s matters would be basically completed.

However, the original Lu Ziming’s pursuit of quality of life was so low that it was staggering, which led her to an unprecedented dilemma when choosing a new mobile phone brand. Standing at the entrance of the store, facing the dazzling array of mobile phone brands and models, she felt confused and at a loss, unable to make a decision, unsure how to choose.

Yao Jinglin had been following a step behind Lu Ziming but had not spoken, because she didn’t want to leave a noisy and troublesome image in Lu Ziming’s heart. Moreover, just like now, following Lu Ziming silently allowed her to notice more interesting things about her.

This person was too cute, clearly not having done any detailed research and understanding of any brand, standing at the door looking for a long time, until it seemed like she had a choice, before walking straight inside to a counter of an old domestic brand mobile phone. Yao Jinglin followed behind her, looking around for a long time before finally deducing her preferences – a serious and unfussy brand name, simple and natural, not exaggerated advertising signs, and a stable and unostentatious body design. Watching her stop at the counter, carefully examining each mobile phone, Yao Jinglin couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“It seems you have a good impression of this brand?” Yao Jinglin couldn’t help but ask softly, feeling a little moved in her heart.

She nodded, “Yes, I feel that this brand is very practical, without too many gimmicks and frills, focusing more on the substance of the product. However, these are just my guesses, I just chose their brand based on my first intuition, I don’t know if I chose correctly.”

Yao Jinglin nodded in agreement, smiling slowly, “You chose correctly, this brand has always insisted on user experience as the core, constantly launching products that meet user needs. Although their marketing methods are not as high-profile as some international brands, the product quality and service have indeed won the trust of many consumers. I thought you had learned about the mobile phone brands in the hall before, but I didn’t expect you to buy a mobile phone by guessing.”

Lu Ziming listened to Yao Jinglin’s words while slowly looking through the counter. At this time, the counter salesperson finally noticed the two people and, after settling the customers at hand, walked over and asked with a smile, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“This one, please take it out for me to have a look.” Lu Ziming had just found the style she wanted, so she raised her head and said politely.

After getting that phone in her hand, she examined it carefully, tried the touch screen feel and the grip of the body, and then looked up at Yao Jinglin, “What do you think of this phone?”

“… I think it suits you very well.” For some reason, Yao Jinglin was silent for a moment, then the corners of her mouth raised slightly uncontrollably, and then she coughed lightly before saying sincerely, “This mobile phone has a simple and elegant design, the functions are also very complete, and the camera effect is also quite good. Moreover, its battery life is also very durable, you don’t have to worry about the phone running out of power when you are on a business trip or traveling…”

Yao Jinglin’s introduction of the mobile phone was almost without hesitation, even the salesperson next to her opened her mouth slightly in surprise – how did this customer know so much about their own products? She didn’t even need to add anything.

Lu Ziming didn’t feel anything wrong after hearing it, and showed a satisfied smile, “Okay, then I’ll choose this one.” After saying that, she turned to the salesperson and said, “Please get me a new one, I want to pay and take it away now.”

The salesperson immediately reacted, responding with a smile, “Okay, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you right away.” After speaking, she quickly walked to the warehouse.

Yao Jinglin looked at Lu Ziming, a flash of cunning and playfulness in her eyes.

This guy… if she didn’t know that she was still confused about the relationship between the two of them, she would have suspected that she was deliberately pretending to be stupid, wanting to show affection in front of others.

But when she thought that she really hadn’t figured it out yet, Yao Jinglin couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of helplessness in her heart. Without Lu Ziming noticing, she gently took out her mobile phone from her pocket, slowly turning the body, revealing the silver textured back panel and the slightly raised brand logo. Then, her eyes moved to the newly unpacked mobile phone in Lu Ziming’s hand. Surprisingly, the two mobile phones were from the same brand and had the same model, the only difference was that Yao Jinglin’s mobile phone had a shiny silver back, while Lu Ziming’s was a deep and mysterious bright black.

Sigh… what to say now? At least she should be glad that the two of them had the same taste in choosing things? Sigh, the road ahead is long and winding…
