Chapter 23 Sky-high Priced Watch

Two or three busy days later, Saturday finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Mei Ziqi tidied himself up and kept urging Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai.

He kept calling them, "Brother Dao, Brother Hai, hurry up!"

Fu Ruhai, after several days of contemplation, seemed to have figured something out. He withdrew eighty percent of his savings from Xia Hua Bank, about two thousand yuan, and put it in his pocket.

Liu Sandao glanced at it and felt like laughing.

Even though he wasn't carrying any money, in this era, very few people carried so much cash when going out.

Didn't they show it on TV? Credit cards or phones were used for everything when going out.

For ordinary people, credit cards didn't seem to be of much use now. Most people used their phones, with most phones linked to credit cards or bank cards.

Therefore, Fu Ruhai's actions seemed a bit old-fashioned.

With everything ready, the three of them walked to the school gate.

Beneath the granite plaque that read "Qing Kong University," stood three girls.

One fair-skinned and two dark-skinned, a stark contrast.

Bai Suxiang was wearing a white shirt and white casual pants today.

The combination was ordinary, but it depended on the person.

If someone else wore this outfit, it might look a bit cliché, but on Bai Suxiang, it exuded a unique youthful charm.

It made passing students turn their heads.

The two girls beside her wore black, but with different accessories.

They looked very beautiful as well.

Mei Ziqi trotted over quickly to greet them.

Bai Suxiang had already told her two friends about the day's plan, and the three of them had prepared the night before.

Liu Sandao was unaware that he was now a celebrity at Qing Kong University.

But with six people together, the scene was a bit too grand.

In popular terms, it was a bit too flashy.

What was most unaccustomed was that the three girls insisted on taking photos.

Let them take photos, but strangely, people gathered to watch.

After everything was done, the group took a bus to Qingming Commercial Street.

On the way, at someone's suggestion,

They naturally split into three pairs.

Liu Sandao was with Bai Suxiang, which was understandable and Bai Suxiang had requested it.

Mei Ziqi was with a girl named Zhao Xiaoying.

Fu Ruhai was with the other person.

On the bus, Bai Suxiang chatted about random things, and the others also chatted and laughed. Liu Sandao remained silent.

He used his divine sense to look at the "Book of Blessings and Virtues":

Zhao Xiaoying, a six-star person.

This was quite unusual.

Because he had previously seen his classmates, all of whom were below five stars, including Bai Suxiang, who was only five stars. Yet, this ordinary-looking girl was a six-star person.

Fu Ruhai completely ignored Liu Sandao. He was telling jokes to the girl next to him.

It had to be admitted that Fu Ruhai was quite humorous. His jokes made everyone around him laugh heartily.

If one didn't know Fu Ruhai's background, it would be hard to imagine he had such a side to him.

With laughter, the journey seemed to pass quickly.

Soon, the words "Qingming Commercial Street" came into view.

If it were like last time, then this shopping trip would be meaningless.

As expected, Mei Ziqi took the initiative, buying snacks and drinks, running back and forth.

Fu Ruhai was responsible for attracting the attention of the three girls, telling one joke after another.

On the contrary, Liu Sandao was now a complete follower.

He showed no intention in his heart, nor did he show any intention in his actions.

Not only that, but he ate more than others and drank his water very quickly.

Even the bottle Bai Suxiang gave him was empty in a short while.

The most pathetic part was that after walking for a while, the others realized he was gone.

Fu Ruhai, after finishing a joke about Liu Sandao and turning back, discovered this.

Now, four or five people turned back to look for him.

Liu Sandao was currently standing in front of a luxury watch store, gesturing at the watches behind the glass.

This was a lavishly decorated watch store.

The large logo on the door was very conspicuous.

"omg" was also eye-catching.

When Fu Ruhai found him, he rushed over to call him.

Liu Sandao remained still, pointing at the glass.

"Look, what do you think? If this were on my wrist..."

Before he could finish, Fu Ruhai interrupted him, grabbed his arm, and pulled him forward.

"Let's go, let's go, this is not a place for you!"

Mei Ziqi also came over to join the fun.

"Wow! This watch is so awesome!"

Contrary to his tone, the words that followed were humble and lacking confidence.

"It costs fifty thousand yuan."

The most embarrassing moment for a man in front of a woman is when he sees something good but has no money to buy it.

Especially now that the three girls were following them, it made Mei Ziqi feel even more ashamed.

His face felt hot.

He wished he could leave quickly.

But Liu Sandao didn't. He didn't feel embarrassed at all and rather wanted to try on the watch he liked.

Xiao Ying spoke up, "This is just an ordinary watch in this store. Its material is merely stainless steel. If it were made of other materials, the price wouldn't be like this!"

Another girl timidly said, "This is already very expensive. Wouldn't other materials be even more expensive?"

"Exactly. If it were stainless steel inlaid with gold, it would at least double!"

"Oh, really?"

Not only the girl was surprised, but Mei Ziqi was also amazed.

He had once dreamed of the life of the rich.

But it was just a dream. After waking up, he was still working in a restaurant.

"Well said!"

A male voice came from the side.

The six of them looked up. A young man in a suit and tie emerged from the entrance.

Liu Sandao looked closely. It was Hu Tianhan.

It seemed his leg had healed, and he was out causing trouble again. Su Dan Novel Network.

Indeed, when Hu Tianhan saw Liu Sandao, especially seeing Bai Suxiang standing beside him, a surge of anger rose within him.

"This time, I'll make sure you embarrass yourself, you country bumpkin, daring to steal my woman!"

He thought to himself, but his face was still full of smiles.

After all, Bai Suxiang was here, so he had to act as gracefully and gentlemanly as possible.

"Suxiang, are you out shopping too? There's a newly released watch inside that's perfect for you. Would you like to take a look?"

Hu Tianhan walked up to Bai Suxiang and said politely.

"No, thank you!"

Bai Suxiang replied crisply.

Her family was not wealthy, but they were upper-middle class. Her parents had always taught her not to pursue luxury excessively and to understand thrift.

Therefore, her understanding of these luxury goods was only through television or the internet.

But regardless of her understanding, she had never bought anything worth tens of thousands of yuan.

She remembered when she was little, one year, she fell in love with a beautiful dress, a designer brand and a limited edition.

When she returned home, she begged her parents for a long time, but they never agreed.

In a fit of anger, she chose to run away from home.

As she passed a cake shop, she bought a piece of matcha cake to fill her stomach.

A dirty little hand quietly tugged at her sleeve.

"Sister, can I have a bite?"
