Money makes the world go round.
A few minutes later, Wang Yue had successfully made the payment. The manager of the car dealership, with a smile plastered on his face, came over, first offering congratulations and flattery, and then quickly signing the contract.
"Sir, would you like a test drive? I can accompany you," the sales assistant said, winking at Wang Yue.
"No test drive today," Wang Yue refused.
He wanted to wait until the official delivery day to drive it.
Holding the bill, Wang Yue floated out of the 4S shop. His dream from his past life had come true; he had actually bought a sports car!
As soon as he stepped out, Wang Yue heard someone call his name.
"Wang Yue!"
Wang Yue turned around and saw Shi Bing and Liu Yueyue.
"Hi, ladies, how are you doing?" Wang Yue greeted with a smile.
"Wang Yue, what are you doing at the 4S shop? You're not buying a car, are you?" Liu Yueyue teased with a laugh.
"Yes, I am." Wang Yue replied with a smile.
"Really?" Shi Bing asked curiously, "What car did you buy?"
"A Lamborghini," Wang Yue said, half-jokingly.
"Hahaha, Wang Yue, you're such a joker," Liu Yueyue laughed.
"I actually thought you were buying a car," Shi Bing added playfully.
Neither of them believed Wang Yue had bought a Lamborghini. After all, for students, a car worth millions like a Lamborghini was still too far-fetched.
Wang Yue didn't bother to explain further. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Are you two out shopping?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Liu Yueyue said, lifting her handbag with a smile.
"Oh, right. I suddenly remembered I have something else to do, and Shi Shi still needs to buy things. Wang Yue, why don't you go with her?" At this moment, Liu Yueyue's eyes darted, and she said.
Without waiting for Wang Yue to refuse, she slipped away, saying before she left, "Then I'll leave Shi Shi in your hands. You need to take good care of our Shi Shi."
Shi Bing's face flushed. She shot a glare at Liu Yueyue's retreating back, knowing full well that this was an opportunity being created for her.
"Wang Yue, can you accompany me shopping?" Shi Bing asked hesitantly after a long pause.
"Sure, what do you want to buy?" Wang Yue replied without being coy.
"Clothes," Shi Bing said with a smile.
"Let's go," Wang Yue nodded.
As they walked, Shi Bing's heart pounded. Although she had a good impression of Wang Yue before, she hadn't felt it as strongly when they weren't alone. Now that they were alone, Shi Bing couldn't help but overthink. She even wondered how wonderful it would be if she could hold Wang Yue's hand right now.
*Ahhh, I can't think about it anymore. If I keep thinking like this, I'll become a complete idiot.* Shi Bing told herself.
Wang Yue was unaware of Shi Bing's many thoughts. He glanced at her flushed face and asked, "Are you alright? Do you have a fever?"
"No... I'm not hot!" Shi Bing snapped back to reality and said hastily.
Then she saw Wang Yue looking at her strangely, pointing at her face. Shi Bing touched her slightly warm face and said, "It's just too hot today. I'm a person who gets hot easily." After saying that, Shi Bing herself found the excuse unbelievable. The weather today wasn't that hot, to be honest.
However, Wang Yue didn't probe further. Accompanying a girl shopping had always been a rather boring affair. Soon, they arrived at the mall. Shi Bing went straight to a luxury clothing store, indicating that she came from a well-off family. As soon as they entered, a sales assistant approached them.
"Miss, what kind of clothes are you looking for?" the sales assistant asked with a smile.
"I'll look around myself first," Shi Bing replied politely.
"Okay, please call me if you need anything," the sales assistant said with a smile.
Wang Yue followed her in. The store sold both women's and men's clothing, so he could look around and wouldn't feel too awkward. Shi Bing quickly picked out two or three pieces of clothing. There was a light blue one, a light pink one, and a white one; they all looked quite good.
"Wang Yue, can you help me see if these clothes suit me?" Shi Bing held up the clothes and tried them against herself.
Wang Yue nodded and said, "They suit you very well." In fact, with Shi Bing's looks and figure, even a sack would probably look good on her. This was the privilege of beauties or handsome men. It was similar for Wang Yue; he could wear an ordinary outfit and make it look like a designer piece.
"Really? Then I'll go try them on," Shi Bing said with a smile. She then changed into the clothes and came out, trying on three outfits in total. Each time, she had a different aura. Other men in the store who were accompanying their girlfriends stopped to stare at Shi Bing, their eyes wide. They cast envious glances at Wang Yue. However, Wang Yue remained expressionless. He thought to himself, *She's not even my girlfriend, so why are you all looking at me with envy?*
Seeing the admiration in Wang Yue's eyes, Shi Bing felt a little delighted and decided to buy all three outfits. At this moment, the sales assistant approached them and said with a smile, "Excuse me, we have couple's outfits available now. Would you like to take a look? They should suit you well."
Shi Bing's face immediately turned red. She had been mistaken for a couple, but she felt a little bit of anticipation. Wang Yue smiled and said, "No need, thank you, miss. I'm not buying clothes today."
"It's okay if you're not buying, you can just take a look," the sales assistant said with a smile. These two had extremely high颜值 (yan zhi - beauty/appearance value); if they wore their clothes, it might even serve as advertising.
"No, no, thank you," Shi Bing quickly said. She was afraid of making Wang Yue feel awkward, as they weren't a real couple, so why would they choose couple's outfits? Both of them clearly refused, and although the sales assistant was a little disappointed, she eventually gave up.
Shi Bing picked out a few more pairs of pants, and then she said to Wang Yue, "Wang Yue, you accompanied me shopping today. How about I buy you a few pieces of clothing? You can choose yourself."
"I don't need any," Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Okay," Shi Bing didn't insist. After paying, Shi Bing was in a very good mood. Being mistaken for a couple meant that they looked quite compatible. After buying clothes and pants, Shi Bing went to choose shoes. For shoes, she preferred sneakers and casual shoes. They then went to stores like Nike and Adidas. Wang Yue also spotted a few pairs of shoes he liked and bought them. However, at the final checkout, Shi Bing insisted on paying, saying that it was her reward for Wang Yue accompanying her shopping and he couldn't refuse. Two hours later, they emerged from the mall laden with shopping bags. Shi Bing carried many items, and Wang Yue had quite a few in his hands too. In fact, most of them were Shi Bing's things; he had only bought a few pairs of shoes.
