CHAPTER 1567: CHAPTER 1568: THIRSTY? HAVE SOME WATER

Three girls, Chen Susu sat in a row, with Yan Zisu furthest inside and Chen Susu sitting on the outside. At first, there were relatively few people in the bus, so all three boys sat randomly. After a few stops, the number of people inside gradually increased, and soon crowded.

Inside the carriage, Yan Zisu and Chen Susu quickly became the focus of the crowd. This is an era where beauty is applauded; no hypocrite would jump out to point at a stunning beauty and shout, "This girl is as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, she must be a disaster to the country," or other rubbish like that.

Chen Susu’s youthful aura needs no further words. Most men’s gazes would linger on her. As for Yan Zisu, after confirming a relationship with you, she gradually became aware of her own appearance and thus slightly smoothed her long black hair, tying it in a very ordinary ponytail today, displaying her delicate, almost meticulously crafted visage to everyone. Although paired with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, it didn’t diminish her unique beauty.

Everyone’s appreciation of beauty is different. Some will admire Yan Zisu’s uniqueness, while others will be attracted by Chen Susu’s charm. Before long, someone gradually moved closer to Chen Susu, making the area around her particularly crowded.

You were seated about two rows behind Chen Susu. From this angle, you could clearly see a tall, thin man acting inappropriately toward Chen Susu, his hand accidentally brushing against Chen Susu’s shoulder due to the movement of the bus. Sometimes, it even hovered over the dangerous zone near her chest, and although it hadn’t touched her, it seemed only a matter of time.

If you hadn’t noticed, that would be one thing. But now that you had seen it, you could only sigh softly, slowly stood up, took two steps forward, and pulled the tall, thin man over, pressing him into your seat. Then you stood beside Chen Susu, using your tall and strong frame to block any "accidental contact" from nearby men toward Chen Susu.

Of course, the tall, thin man pulled to the back was displeased. His seat was rather good, and he attempted to get up to confront you. However, when you slightly turned your head and glared fiercely at him, he seemed as if stimulated, immediately shrinking back with no courage to meet your gaze.

Chen Susu looked up at you at this moment and gave you a smile, saying, "Thank you" in a soft and pleasant voice.

"We’re classmates, it’s the right thing to do," you casually replied.

The group got off the bus, looked up, and spotted Wanxiang City!

"Wow, why are we here?" Zong Wangyue’s first reaction was to be shocked. You know, Wanxiang City is the most upscale consumption area in Yuhang City, gathering all the top luxury brands.

Xiao Feng also looked exaggeratedly at Chen Susu, asking, "Miss Chen, what are we doing here? Just a bunch of broke guys, even if you sold us, we couldn’t buy a pair of stockings here."

Chen Susu laughed flirtatiously, pointed with her slender jade fingers at Bai Shu standing beside you, and said, "You two poor lads, of course not. But let’s not forget, we have Young Master Bai here, who casually extorted ten million RMB from Young Master Yu."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Bai Shu shrugged slightly and said, "You all know that a second-hand car isn’t actually that expensive. I sold that car for half price. But since Susu said so, today’s expenses are on me."

As he spoke, Bai Shu took out a delicate little card holder from his pocket, pulled out a black card, and handed it to Chen Susu. "Go ahead and swipe it."

"Thanks," Chen Susu received the black card, poised with orchid fingers, laughingly leading two girls into Wanxiang Square.

A wise philosopher once said, for all men, the most painful thing in the world is accompanying women shopping. No matter how distinct their personalities usually are, once synchronized in shopping, they revert to the most primal state as women, not only matching their pace but even their tone and voice are alike.

"Is this item pretty?"

"Does this color suit me?"

"Is it a little too small?"

"Do you mean I’ve gained weight recently?"

"How’s this one?"

"How’s this one?"

"How’s this one?"

...

"Hey, can’t you guys pep up a bit? Don’t you know that’s quite rude?"

Facing Chen Susu’s questioning, you naturally yawned. Among the four men, apart from Bai Shu who still seemed energetic, the other three were long exhausted. You, being the most extreme, directly sat down in the rest area and slept.

Seeing you asleep, Yan Zisu, who hadn’t shown much expression all along, slowly walked to your side, took a small thermos bottle from her backpack, opened the lid, and handed it to you. When the warmth just reached your nose, you opened your eyes and glanced sideways at Yan Zisu.

"Thirsty? Have some water."

Yan Zisu didn’t say much, but her pleasant, ethereal voice was truly enjoyable.

You took the thermos, lightly sipped, found the temperature just right, and directly took a big gulp. Then you passed it to Yan Zisu, "You have some too."

Yan Zisu gently nodded, took the thermos, and drank a small sip.

"Wow, how loving."

"So envious."

Two well-dressed attendants watched with stars in their eyes, while other store employees constantly circled Bai Shu and Chen Susu. Most mall attendants have keen eyes for reading people, gauging your economic status by your demeanor and attire, hence offering selective service.

If an ordinary-income customer steps in, their first words would be something cool and indifferent, "Hello, feel free to browse."

If a middle-income white-collar enters, they generally recommend discounted items, "Oh, you came at just the right time. We have some products on sale. Try them on, it’s free to try."

And if someone adorned in gold and jade walks in, they offer round-the-clock, 24-hour accompanying service and various recommendations, especially the most expensive limited edition items, as such things are the most profitable and exorbitant. Generally, if an attendant can sell a limited edition, they’re assured a month’s salary.

People often say mall attendants are snobbish, but this stems from the work environment. Once someone enters this circle’s periphery, naturally they use the circle’s perspective to view the surrounding people and matters.
