I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

Although it has not reached the level of "obtaining a high pension but still picking up mineral water bottles from the trash can", we have also inherited the fine tradition of "bargaining when buying things and calculating every dollar carefully".

To be honest, Lu Chen doesn't really care about this.

After all, judging from the way he shows off his free snacks every day during his internship, he is also a "bastard who doesn't take advantage of a good opportunity".

To put it in a more macro sense, there is no human being who does not love to get something for nothing.

So there is nothing wrong with being “cheap”.

However, just as Qingbao said, Lu Chen did feel a little embarrassed in the restaurant just now.

The reason is probably that in his value judgment, he feels that this matter is not worth it.

If the amount saved was not five dollars but five hundred, Lu Chen would have taken the initiative to buy more Coke without Qingbao reminding him.

But just for five dollars, he had to carry so much Coke back from the restaurant...he really felt it was unnecessary.

But in Qingbao's value judgment, he obviously thinks it is worth it.

As long as I move these Cokes back, I can save five dollars... I guess that's what I thought at the time.

In short, it is not difficult to see from this little incident that there are undoubtedly some differences in the two people's values.

After figuring this out, Lu Chen did not say anything like "I really don't find it hard to say" or "I think you did the right thing". Instead, he spoke to Qingbao very seriously:

“This is actually a question of value judgment.”

"Let me give you an example. If a supermarket is holding an event where you can get two eggs for free, but you have to wait in line for a long time, would you go to get them?"

"this......"

Qingbao was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "How long is a long time?"

"Uh, an hour."

"Then I won't go."

Comrade Xiao Qin shook his head decisively: "Two eggs cost only a little over one yuan, it's not worth it."

"Well, even if it's only one hour, there will be a lot of people coming to claim it."

Lu Chen nodded: "For example, the elderly people in the community would probably go there."

“And if the line is ten minutes, you’ll go.”

"If it becomes a minute, maybe I will go too."

"But for Lu... ahem, the rich, they wouldn't take these two free eggs even for a second."

"So you understand what I mean?"

Looking at Qin Wanqing, Lu Chen spoke calmly, using a small example to illustrate the point that "people always have different value judgments."

Qingbao was like a student in class. He thought seriously for a while, and then blinked thoughtfully.

"I think I understand...I am poor, so I am so fussy about it."

"Well, it's not just because of poverty, but it's almost the same..."

Lu Chen scratched his head, agreeing with Qin Wanqing's "simplified version" of understanding.

After all, the formation of values ​​is indeed inextricably linked to economic conditions.

Although he understood the reason, Comrade Xiao Qin was still a little depressed.

"So what should we do?"

"What do you mean?"

"That's what I should do next."

Qin Wanqing looked distressed: "I have always been like this, it feels so hard to change..."

Lu Chen was very confused: "No, who asked you to change it?"

Qingbao was even more confused: "Ah? But if I don't change, I will embarrass you in the future."

"..."

Well, I still don’t understand it after spending all this time.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly: "What kind of person is this? I've already said it before, this is just a difference in values, there's no right or wrong."

"Since you didn't do anything wrong, what's there to change?"

"Ah, but..."

Qin Wanqing stared blankly: "But if two people have the same values, they can go longer."

It was obvious that the "two people" Qingbao mentioned were himself and Lu Chen.

And she was willing to change herself for Lu Chen.

However, Lu Chen had a different opinion on this matter.

"That being said, how can it be possible for two people to have exactly the same values?"

"Especially between couples, I think mutual understanding is the most important thing."

"Besides, there's no need to deliberately change this kind of thing. When you have money in the future, you won't be so calculating as you are now."

"understand......"

The living room was quiet. Qin Wanqing was stunned as she stared at Lu Chen.

Because only Lu Chen could hear what he said, Comrade Xiao Qin intentionally or unintentionally put himself in a lower position from the very beginning.

In addition, due to the inferiority complex she developed since childhood due to being mute, Qingbao always felt in her subconscious that she was "marrying above her station" for Lu Chen, and she would always put Lu Chen first when encountering problems.

But now, when she heard Lu Chen say "You don't have to change yourself for me"...

Suddenly, a warm current surged into Qingbao's heart, a feeling he had never experienced before, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

This feeling is very similar to being moved, but it is deeper than being moved.

"So..."

Wiping his eyes, Comrade Xiao Qin suddenly smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "So can I still bargain when I buy vegetables in the future?"

No, why are you crying again... Lu Chen looked confused: "Uh, of course."

“Can I still use the coupons to buy things?”

"Um......"

"You don't mind me wearing cheap clothes?"

"Won't......"

"It's okay to eat leftovers once in a while, right?"

"Wait a minute, we haven't eaten leftovers before, have we??"

With eyes wide open, Lu Chen was about to remind Qingbao not to "push his luck", but before he could open his mouth, the latter suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"Okay! Then I'm going back!"

"It's almost eleven o'clock, and I still need to grab coupons!"

"I've liked a pair of shoes and have wanted to buy them for you for a long time. And today is Youth Day, so that store is having a promotion!"

Muttering to herself, Qin Wanqing ran to the door and happily changed her shoes.

Lu Chen just stared at her blankly, with a lot of question marks in his mind.

"No, you're leaving now?"

"Yes, everything is resolved!"

Comrade Xiao Qin looked back as he picked up his sandals and asked, "Anything else you want to say?"

"..."

Wow, you were so sad three minutes ago, and now you’re smiling?

Lu Chen was speechless for a while. He didn't expect Qin Wanqing to be so good at regulating her mood.

But from another perspective, this can be considered as Qingbao's advantage.

When something happens, she will talk to me openly. She won’t let me guess what she is thinking, and she won’t hold it in and sulk.

They are also open to reason and will quickly return to normal as long as they talk it out.

"Okay, then go ahead...Do you want me to help you rob?"

"No need, I have experience, I can definitely get it!"

"Well, I wish you success..."

"Uh-huh!"

Nodding, Qin Wanqing had already changed her shoes.

But just before she opened the door and prepared to leave, she turned around and suddenly said loudly -

"Lu Chen, you are the best person to me besides my parents!"

"..."

"Bang~"

The sound of the door closing, neither light nor heavy, echoed in the living room. Before Lu Chen could react, Qingbao left.

Only one good guy card is left.

Staring blankly at the apartment door, Lu Chen took a long time to come back to his senses, and then he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute!

Shit! The punishment hasn't been done yet!

Didn't you let me lick your feet?

Chapter 249: Protect the lower limit or strive for the upper limit?

As for how couples should get along with each other, Lu Chen always believes that "choice is greater than change."
