Chapter 5039 — Couple's Plan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
First, his strength had only recovered to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, which gave him no absolute advantage against those experts of the Heavenly Dao stage. Second, he had yet to figure out the origins and intentions of those Heavenly Dao cultivators—how could he return with peace of mind?
"Pick one yourself. See which style you like, and I'll buy it for you," Wei Zhao offered generously.
"All right." Leng Leng agreed quite readily this time. She really did want a phone, but she had no worldly currency on her, so naturally she could only let Wei Zhao buy it. After all, in her mind a phone's value could not even be mentioned in the same breath as a top-grade spirit jade. Since she had already accepted the top-grade spirit jade, whether or not she took one more phone made little difference.
The two of them made a circuit of the phone store. Ordinary people always asked about brand and specs when buying a phone, but Leng Leng clearly knew nothing of such things. From beginning to end she had only one principle for choosing a phone: it had to look good. In the end, she picked an Apple.
Who would have thought this little cold girl's taste would mesh so well with the mundane world! Wei Zhao found it amusing, and at the same time could not help secretly rejoicing. Thank goodness he had wrung a good deal of money out of those two swindlers; otherwise, with only his ten thousand yuan, he would have been hard pressed right about now.
"So can this thing of mine get online now?" Leng Leng asked, eager to give it a try.
"Not yet. We still need to buy a SIM card. There's a carrier shop right over there." With that, Wei Zhao led her inside, bought her a SIM card, and while he was at it signed up for a couple's plan—free calls between the two of them.
"A couple's plan..." Leng Leng watched from the side. She said nothing, but she still found it a little strange—until she saw a lovey-dovey young couple beside them also asking for a couple's plan, and only then did it suddenly dawn on her.
Could it be that "couple" here meant "dao companion"? The way Leng Leng looked at Wei Zhao turned a little odd at once. She still did not understand what "free calls" meant, but she guessed this plan was certainly not meant for ordinary people. Only couples would sign up for such a thing.
Yet guess she did, she showed no intention of stopping him. After all, she was utterly ignorant of such matters; what needed to be done and what did not could only be left to Wei Zhao to decide.
Besides, a mere couple's plan was no big deal. In her eyes, all of this—the phone included—was nothing more than a novel game, something that would have no real effect on actual relationships, so she simply let Wei Zhao have his way.
Once everything was settled, she took her phone from Wei Zhao's hand. Following the method he had taught her earlier, Leng Leng began trying to get online, and sure enough, she could look things up. She was delighted at once—she had never played with anything like this before.
Wei Zhao watched from the side, amused. Even a cold, icy beauty like this little cold girl would smile when she came across something that genuinely interested her. That was truly rare.
Still, on second thought, this little cold girl's learning ability really was formidable. He had only given her a rough demonstration once before, and now, with a completely new phone, she had actually figured out how to get online all by herself—and all this on the premise that she knew nothing whatsoever about the internet. An ordinary person would not have picked it up so quickly.
Leng Leng browsed away happily, and just as she clicked open a gossip site, Wei Zhao pressed a hand to his forehead in exasperation. At this rate, the little cold girl could absolutely surf the web by herself until nightfall. If she had been born into the mundane world, she would surely have been a shut-in.
