THE other day, I went to the clothing store to get a jacket. At one store, they wanted 50 yuan for the one I liked best, while at another, it was 60. I couldn’t decide which one to choose and just strolled about in the market aimlessly. Then, by accident, I came across a classmate who was one of my best friends in senior high. We hadn’t been in touch for years, but hugged each other happily and exchanged phone numbers. She looked more mature, able, and sophisticated. Surprisingly, her store had just the jacket I was looking for, same color, same style. I asked her to get me one, without asking the price. “How can I take a friend’s money? Just give me 100 yuan. That’s the lowest price in this area,” she said casually.
