Franka raised her eyebrows when she heard the amount reported by the cashier.
"I'm sorry... Excuse me, is the price calculated correctly?"
The clerk nodded: "Yes, there is no problem with the price."
"Why is the discount so low?" Franka asked doubtfully: "If we calculate it based on the current activities in your store..."
The clerk shook his head: "It's really no problem. I've already included the Christmas discount for you."
“What about the couples discount?”
The clerk looked at Jiang Yan who was standing aside: "I'm sorry, who is this gentleman..."
"I'm her boyfriend." Jiang Yan responded. "Is there any problem?"
"No, I'm just curious about your race."
"…Sarkazi."
"I'm sorry, I don't think a Volper would choose a demon as a partner."
The clerk was (at least outwardly) apologetic: "Sorry, I don't think you qualify for the discount."
……racism?
Everyone is dumbfounded. Is there anything wrong with this guy? What do you mean when you are a store cashier and you are so obviously racist? It is not a small thing to directly call a customer a devil!
"I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean...can you explain it again?"
Jiang Yan rubbed his throbbing temples.
The clerk changed his words and said: "I'm sorry, I'm not biased against your race, it's just... this is a recognized fact, isn't it? Interracial feelings are very rare, let alone with Sakaz people?"
"So your explanation is...you are not racist, but you are doubting the relationship between the two of us?"
"That's it."
...It is really a weak defense. But I have to say that this matter is indeed very irritating.
Let me think about how to solve this matter...
"Okay, I'll just assume that you are just being responsible at work to avoid people pretending to be a couple to get discounts. There is no prejudice against me personally or against my race. It's just because such things are rare - in your case
It seems almost impossible - that's why we doubt our feelings."
After Jiang Yan finished speaking calmly, he asked the cashier:
"is that so?"
Seeing the clerk nodding, Jiang Yan let out a sigh of relief.
"Then there's no problem."
As he spoke, he hugged Franka beside him.
"There's no doubt about it - we are indeed lovers."
"But……"
"But what?" Jiang Yan stared back this time and blocked the clerk's words: "What's so good about this?"
Jiang Yan took Franka's hand and said:
"Love is inherently unreasonable and illogical. Is it wrong to fall in love with someone? Isn't it okay to want to stay with her? Of course there is no problem. Just because there is no problem, there is
A relationship like lovers."
"Anything wrong with what I said?"
"No problem, sir, but..."
"Then if there is no problem, why are we being rejected when we go to enjoy some of the rights we can enjoy?" Jiang Yan lowered his head slightly, "What makes me sad is not that someone will misunderstand me because of my identity, but that someone will misunderstand me because of my identity.
Someone would actually doubt our relationship and our feelings!"
"If you don't retract your words and give us back the rights we deserve, I'm sorry, sir. I will file a complaint against you."
Jiang Shao said this, causing a burst of whispers from the customers next to him.
"Although he is from Sakaz, I really feel that girl Wolper is so happy." I thought some elderly lady said to his female companion: "They must cherish each other very much, right? Let
I remember when I..."
Franka, who was being held by Jiang Shao, snuggled into Jiang Shao's arms and said, "I'm very grateful that you can help me say these words, da...darling."
"That's why I said that this bill was definitely calculated incorrectly and I asked for a recalculation!"
...It seems that Franka has reacted. Jiang Yan's original nervous mood instantly relaxed.
As expected of a fox, he reacted so quickly.
Racial discrimination? Well, this is a very serious problem, not to mention that this time it is directed at Jiang Shao. If there really is a Sakaz man, he will probably fight someone in the morning.
But the blind spot of the problem is that Jiang Hao is not a Sakaz at all.
He just has this identity.
The most dangerous and critical problem that Jiang Yan and Franka encountered was that someone suspected their identity as a fake couple.
That's not good - especially for Franka's wallet.
So the key to solving the problem is to make others believe that they are a couple - and Jiang Yan reminded Franka of this problem through some hints.
And Franka also noticed Jiang Shao's intentions - her actions and words were all coordinated with Jiang Shao's actions.
And how to get this person to admit that they are a couple?
Change his opinion? Joke. Jiang Shaocai didn’t have time to discuss this issue with a person with racist tendencies.
The best way is to kidnap him morally - using his unsubstantiated charges of racial discrimination to label him as suspicious of loving interracial couples, so that he cannot step down.
Gain sympathy from those around you.
Then threaten him with a complaint.
At least so far - the plan works.
Other people’s voices came from behind——
"Hello, madam, I am the manager of this store. It seems that you are in some trouble. How can I help you?"
…
"I'm really sorry...I apologize to you for the incompetence of our store staff. Of course you can enjoy our couple's discount."
Diesel's mood was a little complicated - the man who made her heart beat wildly already had a significant other, which made her feel a little lonely.
But their cross-racial romance is indeed... very beautiful.
Diesel helped Franca complete the transaction - a small apology from her as the store manager to the customer.
"Please forgive me for being unreasonable...but I would like to ask more details about you." Diesel asked Jiang Yan and Franka:
"Why can you make up your mind to ignore other people's eyes and become each other's lovers?"
Jiang Yan's throat was blocked by this sudden question?
Ignore prejudice? Become lovers?
You have never experienced these two things, okay?
I can’t make it up!
Just when Jiang Yan was nervous about this sudden extra scene, Franka spoke:
"We first met in prison..."
Well, that's the truth.
"In Colombia. He is a criminal and I am a policeman."
...Which one is this from? Jiang Yan heard Franka continue to say:
"Who knows why we ended up getting together? But maybe after knowing everything about each other, we still chose to accept each other."
Seeing that the store manager was about to ask for details again, Jiang Yan quickly spoke:
"Maybe this is..."
What to do, what to do... Hurry up and think of a golden sentence to stop their mouths, otherwise they will never be able to get back together!
"The so-called, 'love is the attitude of one soul towards another soul', right?"
This is a classic quote said by a great reporter in a previous life - although the original sentence is not used at this time, it is suitable to break it down and use it here.
"Love is the attitude of one soul towards another soul..." the store manager said thoughtfully. Finally, she smiled:
"Thank you...I seem to understand something."
...It seems to be safe?
Jiang Hao and Franka looked at each other and smiled - it's not easy, it's not that simple for two people to coordinate in improvisational performances! Finally!...
"Hello? Excuse me for a moment." A clerk wearing Christmas clothes came over. She smiled:
"We hope that every customer who enjoys the couple's discount can take a photo in front of our promotional page. I wonder if you are willing...?"
Forget it...let's do it all. Jiang Yan and Franka forced themselves to smile and came to the publicity wall. Many couples' photos of themselves had been ordered here. It seems that many people are really willing to participate in such an activity.
.
"Then, please, please make a show of your heart... three, two, one...!"
The camera clicked.
This photo was later uploaded to the official Cambrian event homepage along with other photos - of course, because of the large number, the interracial couple was not so conspicuous.
But the girl who took the photo of them knew that she could still clearly recall this scene many years later——
The elegant Sakaz man raised his left hand with his index finger and thumb intersecting to make a small heart shape.
Ms. Wolper raised her right hand and placed it between the two of them, with her fingers bent to make a half-heart shape.
The bright smiles of the two people made her unforgettable for the rest of her life——
What made her even more unforgettable was their touching tacit understanding.
PS: I've wanted to write this kind of scene for a long time.
The secret is finally revealed, right?? Haha
Pay tribute to the famous scene of happiness and good times in "Take My Brother Away".
In addition, did everyone see the double update yesterday? It seems that due to my sorting problem, the update was not displayed.
