Xi Jing shook his head and broke free from Chuzheng: "I... I’ll head back first."

He turned and ran outside but after two steps, he turned back and softly asked, "Are you coming over later?"

"Mm."

"I learned a new dessert, I’ll make it and wait for you."

Xi Jing glanced at the dumbfounded Gao Teng, and then ran out.

Gao Teng finally realized what was happening and pointed at Xi Jing’s retreating figure: "He’s..."

"Boyfriend."

Gao Teng: "..."

He looked rather bewildered.

Gao Teng wanted He Yuanyuan to regret it and become a man she couldn’t reach.

Gao Teng was a bit impulsive then, but since he had already spoken, he couldn’t change it; he could only follow Chuzheng’s advice to make some changes first.

"All this money..."

"No need for you to pay, it’s all part of the transaction." Chuzheng said, "I’ve signed you up for two classes, attend them yourself, and I hope you’ll block and delete all contact information for He Yuanyuan, and preferably also cut off contact with people connected to her."

"Why?"

Gao Teng was puzzled.

"When you reappear brand new in front of her, that’s the real beginning." Of course, it’s to provoke! Just imagine someone who once pined over you suddenly appearing with a fresh new look, isn’t it exciting?!

Gao Teng seemed to half-understand but still followed Chuzheng’s advice and blocked all of He Yuanyuan’s contact information.

Chuzheng asked the store clerk to ring up the bill, then went inside to pick two completely different styles of clothing and asked the clerk to wrap them up.

Gao Teng looked across, that young boy...

Chuzheng didn’t have any intention of inviting Gao Teng, so he sensibly took his leave first.

Chuzheng pushed open the shop door, and the familiar sound of bells jingled.

There was no one in the shop; Chuzheng heard noises from the kitchen and walked straight in.

The boy, wearing an apron and a hat, was just taking a tray of desserts out of the oven, filling the air with a rich fragrance.

Recently, he had grown swiftly, already taller than Chuzheng, about 1.8 meters, and had gained quite a bit of weight, no longer looking thin and frail.

His features matured quite a bit, somewhere between a youth and a young man.

The boy turned around, and was startled to see someone standing behind him, causing the tray in his hand to fall downwards.

Chuzheng stepped forward and caught the tray: "Be careful."

The boy blinked: "When did you get here?"

"Just now."

Xi Jing looked outside: "That person?"

"What, you still want to see him?"

Xi Jing shook his head vigorously, realizing he was too eager, cautiously glanced at Chuzheng.

Xi Jing didn’t want to overthink, but he couldn’t help being scared.

Fearful she didn’t like him.

Fearful she would leave him...

Chuzheng looked at the tray in her hand: "You made this?"

Xi Jing nodded obediently, a bit embarrassed: "It doesn’t look good..." nothing like what the shop’s chefs made.

"I’ll make a better one after I learn more, this one..." Xi Jing wanted to take the tray back but Chuzheng slightly turned her body and walked straight out.

"Hey..."

Xi Jing followed Chuzheng out, and she casually passed him a bag.

Xi Jing was forced to hold a bunch of bags, with no spare hand to fight for the tray with Chuzheng.

Finally, the two sat at a table in the shop and shared the cake, which Xi Jing found tasted pretty good, aside from its poor appearance.

After finishing the cake, Xi Jing softly said, "I’m sorry for misunderstanding you just now. But... I... I was really afraid."

The boy slightly hunched, with a face full of unease and anxiety.

Chuzheng asked him, "Afraid of what?"

"Afraid..." Xi Jing clenched his fingers, stammering, "Afraid you won’t want me anymore."

"What nonsense are you thinking about," Chuzheng said with exasperation: "I won’t want anyone but you."

The boy slowly lifted his head, and the clear eyes reflected the girl sitting opposite him.

In the clean and bright shop, the two sat facing each other, silently gazing into each other’s eyes, the scene looking like something from a TV drama.

-

Xi Jing locked the door, ran a few steps to Chuzheng, and grabbed her hand.

Chuzheng slightly turned her head, sighing internally.

The Good Person Card has grown too tall... even petting his head is hard to handle.

Yet, as if sensing something, Xi Jing slightly lowered his head, leaned forward, and said: "Pet me."

Chuzheng: "!!!"

The Good Person Card is really so sensible!

Like a loving mother, she shed tears of heartache.

Pleased, Chuzheng patted his head twice, cleared her throat, and with a serious face, held Xi Jing’s hand heading towards the parking lot.

Xi Jing tugged her: "I want... to stroll the streets."

Chuzheng: "Hm?"

What’s there to stroll? What’s good about it?!

Xi Jing didn’t speak, just looking at her with hopeful eyes.

Chuzheng didn’t quite want to go, knowing the Bastard would definitely make trouble... but facing Xi Jing’s gaze, she didn’t want to refuse.

Such a dilemma.

Chuzheng told Xi Jing to give her the bags he was holding, Xi Jing looked at her puzzled: "You want to carry these around while we shop?"

"Oh."

Xi Jing handed her the bags, Chuzheng asked him to wait here... thought about it, and decided against it, taking his hand to put the things away.

After putting things away, the two entered the nearby mall.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Don’t want to buy anything."

"Then why are we shopping if you don’t want to buy anything? Isn’t going home to lie down better?"

"Don’t you want... to shop with me?" Xi Jing hesitated a bit.

Clearly, you shop with your clients, am I not better than your clients?

Chuzheng seemed to read those words from Xi Jing’s eyes, it tugged a bit at her heart, why does the Good Person Card lower himself to compare to others?

"Shop!!"

Chuzheng gritted her teeth.

Isn’t it just shopping?!

What’s so hard about it!

How can a girl say no!

[Main Task: Spend six million within five hours.]

Chuzheng: "..."

I damn well knew it.

Xi Jing really just wanted to stroll, maybe not interested in what he saw, just wanting to be with Chuzheng.

Chuzheng had a mission, so she couldn’t just stroll, spotting pricey brands, she dragged Xi Jing in and piled clothes onto him.

"I don’t want to buy."

Xi Jing was a bit reluctant, he only wanted to casually stroll, not purchase anything, they seemed very expensive...

"I want to buy." Chuzheng fitted him with a new belt.

Xi Jing puffed his cheeks, allowing Chuzheng to do what she wanted, yet thinking about how he’d pay it back in the future.

The attendants stood together oogling.

"So handsome."

"Is that his girlfriend? She’s so pretty too..."

"Probably not a girlfriend, maybe his sister?"

"They don’t look alike, can’t be siblings."

When Xi Jing went to the fitting room to change, a clerk quietly asked him: "That young lady is who to you?"

The boy smiled gently, with a hint of boastfulness: "Girlfriend, oh."

The clerk was dazzled by the boy’s smile, her heart racing wildly, he was too good-looking, her health bar was empty!!

"Isn’t she?"

The clerk nodded fervently.

Then realized something was off, turning to meet Chuzheng’s cool gaze.

Then she heard the girl say mildly, "Pity she’s mine."

The clerk: "..."

Are you here to show off your love?!
