Fortune Teller.

The shop selling rings for same-sex couples was on the west side of the town, not too far from the old lady's shop. It was a small two-story building.The first floor is a place for drinking tea and playing chess. There are only a few young men who come to do odd jobs to help look after them. When they heard that they were here to buy rings, they led them to the second floor.

The layout of the second floor is similar to that of most jewelry stores nowadays. The modern glass cabinets and the simple wooden beam walls complement each other, and there is no meaning of nondescript.

The store is all wired, so the indoor lighting is very good, and all kinds of rings are dazzling under the lighting.

As the old lady said, the rings in this store are indeed top-grade, both in workmanship and material.The price ranges from high to low, some so high that people doubt life, and some so low that ordinary people can accept it.

But Xu said that Xia Jue was a rich man, ah, to be precise, Xia Jue used to be a rich man, so naturally the first thing he saw was the expensive ones.

Qiao Ran is also a person who has no pressure in his heart. It doesn't matter whether he buys it or not. Anyway, Xu Wei, who has been taken advantage of, pays for it. Who made Xia Jue his brother?To help lure Yuan Ye over, it is only right to contribute some effort and some money.

So among the four, only Yuan Ye was worried about money.

At first, before he could react, he followed Xia Jue to the most expensive counters, and when he got closer to see the prices, he almost fainted from fright, and immediately wanted to drag Xia Jue from those counters open.

At this moment, Xu Wei suddenly put his arms around Xia Jue's shoulders, turned around and said, "It's okay, I'll watch it, I won't let him buy it, go over there and have a look, the price over there is not bad, Xia Jue Just leave it here for my reference."

The direction Xu Wei pointed to was a few counters in the store with relatively low prices but not too low.Xia Jue probably has an understanding of how much money he has now, the counters over there are all within the acceptable range, and he can afford it completely.

Qiao Ran looked at both sides, and felt that it was a bit pitiful for Yuan Ye to pick out the ring by himself, so he went to watch it with him.

For his arrival, Yuan Ye couldn't understand, "Why are you here? Aren't you and Xu Wei going to pick a ring?" Then he pouted towards Xu Wei, which meant—that's where he should go , Could it be that you are going in the wrong direction?

Qiao Ran raised her face and rubbed her chin, feeling a little embarrassed, but still pretended to be a "dominant president": "Ahem, did you tell me that I sent him this time? Of course he can pick it. Just pay directly."

Before, Xu Wei said that he had sent Qiao Ran off, but Qiao Ran hadn't sent him off yet, so let's just give it off this time.So Qiao Ran's explanation made sense.

Yuan Ye nodded, "Oh", then turned his head and continued walking.

"Hey——" Qiao Ran was about to remind him that he had passed by, when he found Yuan Ye stopped in front of a counter, so he choked back the rest of his words, and walked over with his heels.

When Qiao Ran arrived, Yuan Ye had already lowered his head and was seriously choosing the ring.Following his gaze, he found that the counter here was the cheapest on the entire second floor. No wonder he didn't stop walking past the counter that Xu Wei was pointing at just now. It turned out that he went straight to the cheapest one.

Taking advantage of the stall where Yuan Ye lowered his head to choose the ring, Qiao Ran looked up. Yuan Ye's expression at the moment was more serious than that of Xu Wei and Xia Jue, who were also choosing the ring, and he didn't disdain it at all because of the price.Perhaps to him, it doesn't matter how much money is, as long as it is exclusive to him and Xia Jue, it's fine.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran sighed.In fact, the rings at the counters that Xu Wei pointed out just now are quite cheap. With Yuan Ye and Xia Jue's current financial resources, even if they buy two or three pairs, it will not affect their future life.But Yuan Ye still chose the cheapest one here.

The rings in this store are all well-made, so there is no such thing as a cheap one that is ugly and poor in material, but rings, as soon as you enter the door, you rush to the cheapest one, and you always feel a little weird in your heart. Not very comfortable.

Qiao Ran felt that if he had changed himself about this matter, he might not have thought so much at all.It is inevitable to do what you can, but most of the time he will choose the counters with reasonable prices that Xu Wei pointed out, instead of racking his brains to save money for Xia Jue like Yuan Ye.For a while, Qiao Ran felt a little unworthy for Yuan Ye. Such a good person, it's a pity to meet an elder like the Xia family.If he met an elder like his own family, he should be very happy now, at least he won't be hiding and planning carefully like now.

The two people who were selected at the most expensive counter over there naturally also discovered the situation on Yuan Ye's side, but to Qiao Ran's surprise, Xia Jue didn't have any objections to it.Could it be that after listening to Yuan Ye's persuasion, instead of buying the expensive one over there, it is not possible to plan to buy the cheapest one?But this is not in line with Xia Jue's style, he would be a ghost if he was willing to treat Yuan Ye so badly.

"Qiao Ran!" Xu Wei suddenly beckoned over there, beckoning him to come over, "Come here and try on the ring!"

Qiao Ran was taken aback, these two people were really there to choose the ring for him, not for Yuan Ye?For some reason, he didn't feel any excitement about buying a ring, but was full of sadness.Looking back at Yuan Ye who was still looking down at the ring, tears almost couldn't be held back.He hurriedly lowered his head to restrain his emotions, and walked over quickly.

When he got there, he saw Xu Wei holding a ring in his hand, but he was in a state of confusion, he didn't even bother to see what the ring looked like, so he stretched out his hand and let Xu Wei put it on his hand.And Xia Jue had already gone to Yuan Ye's side when he came over.

"...Is Brother Xia really going to buy that ring for Xiao Ye?" Qiao Ran didn't look down on those cheap ones, but felt that Yuan Ye deserved better ones.

Seeing that Xu Wei laughed suddenly, and tapped his forehead with his index finger, feeling a little helpless, "Is that why you're upset?"

Immediately, they withdrew their fingers and knocked on the glass counter, and saw that there were about seven or eight vacancies among the rows of neatly arranged rings. Excluding the one they had now, there should be three pairs left.

Qiao Ran looked up in doubt, even if it was for the sake of appearance, the boss should fill in these vacancies in time.But I saw Xu Wei raised his chin again, looked over, and saw that the boss was standing in front of one of the counters that Xu Wei pointed to just now, took out several small boxes, and put three more in them.

After finishing these things, the boss came back to greet them, and Xia Jue immediately coaxed Yuan Ye to the counter where the boss just exchanged goods.

Qiao Ran turned around in surprise, and stared at Xu Wei with wide-eyed eyes—this trick is so slippery!

Xu Wei shrugged, "Hmm, are you in the mood to see if you like this ring?"

Qiao Ran's head was still full of 666 at the moment, and he was dizzy. He didn't know if he heard what Xu Wei said, but he nodded foolishly anyway.

"That's all right, boss, wrap this pair up."

"okay!"

Qiao Ran was dizzy for a while, and then suddenly grabbed Xu Wei's arm, "After Brother Xia bought the ring, there shouldn't be much money left, right? Then what should we do next? They can't make money like this."

"Are you stupid? Yuan Ye is not so easy to deceive. After Xia Jue pays, he will definitely follow and stare. So, he pays the price over there, and the price difference is the same as the pair we bought. I'll pay." Xu Wei paused, afraid that Qiao Ran would mind, and quickly added, "Is Xia Jue my brother? He doesn't want to lose Yuan Ye with the ring, and I don't want to embarrass him, and the money is right. It's nothing to me..."

It was already clear what it meant, so Qiao Ran patted him on the shoulder and interrupted Xu Wei, "What are you explaining! I'm so stingy? Xiao Ye deserves the best and the most expensive!"

Xu Wei was inexplicably jealous.

However, Qiao Ran and Yuan Ye couldn't make any waves. At most, they could be "bestfriends", no matter how many, it would be impossible.

After comforting himself, Xu Wei turned to chat with the boss. Of course, the voice was lowered so that only the three of them could hear, "Boss, is there any place here that can hold a wedding? It doesn't need to be too big, Just a simple wedding."

"Yes! Does the officiant need it? I'll find it for you too!" Seeing Xu Wei nodding, the boss ran out with a smile.

Qiao Ran looked sideways at Xu Wei, "Are you planning to hold a wedding for them here?"
