Afternoon.

Xue Chuchu went back to her room to study. Seeing Chuchu working so hard inspired Xue Yuantong.

Therefore, Xue Yuantong became determined, went home, and furiously completed two test papers. Tired, she ran to Jiang Ning’s room to watch a movie.

Jiang Ning picked a classic film. Watching the movie, Xue Yuantong felt something was missing—a summer day should be spent at home, watching movies, eating lots of snacks, and drinking plenty of ice-cold water.

Xue Yuantong skipped along with her small steps all the way back home, where from a compartment in the wardrobe, she fished out a hundred-dollar bill, her savings.

She returned and said, "Jiang Ning, let’s go shopping at the supermarket!"

She planned to buy a huge pile of snacks. Staying at home during the summer break, eating snacks and playing on the computer every day, was truly the life she had always dreamt of.

With nothing better to do, Jiang Ning agreed. It was now four in the afternoon, and outside the sun was still quite harsh, not the best time to be out, but it didn’t bother him.

Jiang Ning agreed. He wheeled out his mountain bike, while Xue Yuantong ran back to lock her door and grabbed a large cloth bag.

If you’re shopping at the supermarket, they charge extra for large plastic bags, so to save a few cents and be eco-friendly, Xue Yuantong always brought her bag.

When she stepped out, her head was adorned with a white baseball cap embroidered with a small rabbit, making her look soft and cute.

Xue Yuantong looked up and asked, "Didn’t you take your hat?"

She had bought the hats online and got one for Jiang Ning too—a cap embroidered with a large tiger, perfectly matching his zodiac sign.

Xue Yuantong thought he looked very imposing in it.

But Jiang Ning found it childish.

"Forgot to take it, the door’s locked, let’s go," Jiang Ning said, his tone indifferent, not wanting to wear it.

Xue Yuantong: "Hmm, you’ll get a tan."

She felt a slight regret but didn’t insist, and hopped onto Jiang Ning’s bike.

Jiang Ning started pedaling towards the river dam.

Neither mentioned inviting Xue Chuchu. Jiang Ning was nonchalant; having Tongtong with him was enough. He didn’t care much about anything else.

As for Xue Yuantong, she knew Chuchu wouldn’t go downtown. She had spent the morning playing games with her; surely, in the afternoon, she would study extra hard to make up for the morning’s lax.

Jiang Ning sped up a bit, the mountain bike charging up the steep slope onto the tarred road of the river dam.

The view suddenly opened up. Looking out, Xue Yuantong saw rows of lush government-owned Yang trees and fields of green peanut seedlings below the dam to the north.

Not until October would it be the time to harvest peanuts.

Further to the north flowed the wide Hui River, lying quietly upon the land.

Perhaps due to the hot weather, they hardly encountered anyone all the way to the urban area.

The RT-Mart supermarket in the urban area was about five kilometers from the river dam. Jiang Ning rode fast, expertly avoiding red lights, and arrived in fifteen minutes.

After locking the bike, Jiang Ning did not directly enter the big supermarket but waited for Xue Yuantong to make a decision.

Xue Yuantong had seen many stalls in the Food Festival Street and couldn’t bring herself to move on; she wanted to browse the food street first.

Jiang Ning, with his Divine Sense unfurled like a radar, scanned everything around him.

They approached a stall manned by a girl dressed like a college student, with a glass cabinet filled with fruit that looked very clean.

Xue Yuantong asked, "What’s this?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "Yangmei Lychee Drink, want to try?"

Looking at the tall and handsome boy and the cute girl, she said, "Now the second cup is half price!"

"Sure, two cups."

Xue Yuantong thought to take out the hundred-dollar bill, but Jiang Ning was a step ahead and produced a ten.

Two cups for seven and a half; the price was reasonable, so Xue Yuantong didn’t mind too much.

She walked and ate, her small mouth pattering away, quickly finishing her share and then eyeing Jiang Ning’s untouched drink with a mischievous thought.

Jiang Ning, fully aware of her intentions, casually handed his drink to her.

Xue Yuantong was delighted, thinking to herself, ’He’s actually quite nice to me!’

But then Jiang Ning said, "Do my math homework for me."

Xue Yuantong’s joy instantly faded; she had underestimated Jiang Ning.

In the end, the deal was struck for two sets of test papers.

Jiang Ning was not in a rush, the summer vacation was long, and he was not the least bit worried.

After giving the Yangmei Lychee Drink to her and taking her empty cup, Jiang Ning walked over a hundred meters until he found a trash bin to dispose of it.

Xue Yuantong chirped happily, realizing that Jiang Ning, just like her, never littered.

After browsing the food street without buying anything else, they headed towards the entrance of the big supermarket.

There was an event in the plaza today, featuring a large array of brand-new electric bikes and a stage set up, with a host in a suit fluently talking about the day’s discounts and trade-in offers on the red carpet.

A large crowd had gathered below the stage.

What attracted Xue Yuantong the most was a Kumamoto Bear mascot on the plaza, handing out flyers to people passing by.

For a small city like Yuzhou, such mascots were a rare sight.

The Kumamoto Bear was surrounded by adults and children alike, some lifting their phones to take pictures and selfies with it.

Some mischievous kids even reached out to slap the mascot.

Xue Yuantong watched for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Jiang Ning, it must be really hot in this weather, right?"

She meant the person working inside the Kumamoto Bear mascot suit.

Wearing the mascot costume in the 35-degree heat was undoubtedly torturous.

Jiang Ning: "Yes, definitely hot."

He ran his Divine Sense over the Kumamoto Bear and discovered he had encountered this person before.

After hearing this, Xue Yuantong, and Jiang Ning passed by the Kumamoto Bear, intending to pick up a couple of flyers to lighten the person’s load a bit.

But for some reason, as if the mascot didn’t see her, it stubbornly didn’t hand her any flyers.

Xue Yuantong was vexed.

Jiang Ning probably guessed the reason, "No worries, let’s head inside."
