Chapter 44

nThe man was exceptionally handsome. His face was sculpted and his five features were very sharp. His body was well-muscled, with wide shoulders and a slim waist. His muscles were perfectly ripped. Any more would make him seem bulky and any less would make him seem weak.

nShe stared at him with interest and silently lamented, Who would have expected such a perfect figure to be hidden under an ascetic-looking black shirt…?

nThe pair stared at each other for ten seconds before Xiang Huai openly asked, “Does it look good?”

n

n

nXue Xi nodded. “…Yes.”

nJust as the smile on Xiang Huai’s lips were about to widen, he heard the girl’s voice again, saying, “How did you train those abs?”

nXiang Huai: “??”

nThe girl continued looking at him quizzically. Her gaze made it look as if she was enjoying a piece of art.

n

n

nXiang Huai: “…”

nHe had wanted to walk over to the girl, but halted. He then promptly turned around and walked toward the rear. “I’ll go shower.”

n“…Oh.”

nAfter he had left, the provision store fell silent again. It was then that she belatedly realized, Is it not good for a girl to stare at a man like that?

n

n

nStill, that chest, abs, and… waist… really do look good.

nShe fell into a daze for a while. Canine Teeth, who had been ordered by Xiang Huai, quickly bought breakfast and returned. In less than five minutes, Xiang Huai had showered and returned.

nHis hair was still a little wet and he had put on the black shirt that he never ever switched out for anything else. Despite that, unlike usual, his shirt was buttoned all the way to the topmost button, making him give off an exceptionally thick ascetic aura.

nThe trio did not speak much and started eating.

nBzz… Bzz…

nXue Xi and Xiang Huai’s phones vibrated at the same time.

n

n

nBoth of them lowered their heads and their phones displayed the Moguls’ Group.

nXiang Huai’s eyes twinkled.

nHe used to mute the group because he found them annoying, but ever since the little kid joined, he had unmuted it.

nXue Xi was currently looking at the message in the Moguls’ Group.

nCen Bai: “Ah, ah, ah. I want this bag! But I couldn’t get it! I would like to beg all moguls here to help me purchase it in your cities! It’s a limited edition. I can pay a premium for it!”

nThe Pianist: “I’m powerless!”

nTeaches Math: “I am only an academic, so I have no connections in this area.”

nThe rest: “Sorry, I can’t get it.”

n

n

nCen Bai: “Whoever can snag one for me will be my daddy!”

nXue Xi had no idea what limited edition was, and she had totally no concept of luxury items and their prices. When she saw this message, she recalled that Teaches Math had given her a chance to learn and that the rest of the group members were all rather friendly.

nThe group manager was also a warm-hearted person…

nShe could not be apathetic. Hence, she looked up and asked Xiang Huai, “Do you sell bags here?”

nLu Chao, who was eating a bun, froze.

nBag?

nDoes such a thing suit our provision store?

nStill, before he could speak, Xiang Huai nodded. “Mhm, we do.”

nXue Xi unlocked her phone and clicked on the photo Cen Bai had sent to the group, showing it to Xiang Huai and Lu Chao. “What about this?”

nLu Chao: “???”

nChanel’s limited edition bag. There were only twenty in the entire world. The moment it was released, it would have been swept up the racks by all madams and young mistresses of the top aristocratic and wealthy families, right?

nBefore shock could surface on Lu Chao’s face, Xiang Huai answered again, “Okay. Come collect it in two days.”

nLu Chao: “…”

n

n

nXue Xi calmly replied, “Okay.”

nShe then replied in the Moguls’ Group.

nLearning: “I should be able to get it. Two days from now.”

nCen Bai: “Really?”

nLearning: “Mhm.”

nCen Bai: “Ah ah ah ah! From now on, you are my Sister Xi!”

nRight after this message was sent, she received a new friend request. It was Cen Bai.

nShe accepted it and named him: Actor.

nImmediately after, Cen Bai privately messaged her.

nActor: “Sister Xi, which city are you in?”

nXue Xi did not know how online friends worked, and so she had no thoughts of hiding anything. She answered honestly: “Bin City.”

nActor: “Alright. Thank you, Sister Xi! Since you are able to help me buy this bag, you shall be my boss from now on!”

nXue Xi: “…”

nShe put down her phone and continued eating her breakfast seriously. It was only after she was done eating that she sighed in lamentation, “Why are the things you sell here so comprehensive?”

nThe tea leaves from last time seemed to be pretty difficult to obtain.

nThe bag this time should also not be easy.

nXiang Huai stood up and walked to the counter. His black shirt tightly covered his waist and was tucked into his black pants, making his torso seem even longer.

nHe lazily took a seat on the chair behind the counter and chuckled. In his low and attractive voice, he said, “We have everything you want.”

nLu Chao: “…”

nBoss, your flirting skills are improving greatly!

nIf he were a woman, he would have acquiesced a long time ago! Even as a man, he was about to be turned gay!

nAlas, Xue “Blockhead” Xi nodded solemnly and praised, “Omnipotent provision store.”

nLu Chao: “???”

nXiang Huai seemed to have expected this result and had a conceding expression. “Mhm. There is nothing here than you can’t buy.”

nRight after he said this, a random man suddenly rushed in and shouted at Xiang Huai, “Boss, one box of Durex.”

n“…”

nHis bragging was instantly exposed.

nHe looked at the girl who had yet to leave the provision store and did not answer the question. He glanced at Lu Chao.

nLu Chao gulped and hurriedly took a step forward, “We don’t have it.”

nThe person was stunned. “Out of stock? What about Personage?”

n“…Not that too.”

n“What about Elephant?”

n“None.”

n“F*ck!” the man grumbled. “Aren’t you a s*x toy shop? Why don’t you have even the most basic things?”

n“…”

nLu Chao did not need to look at his boss to feel the cold air from him. He hurriedly said in a justified manner, “We are a proper provision store. You have seen wrongly, so hurry and leave now.”

nHe pushed the person to the door while the latter was still mumbling in confusion, “You guys named it ‘Ye Lai Xiang.’ Isn’t that bound to cause misunderstandings?”

nLu Chao: “…Who said that provision stores can’t be called Ye Lai Xiang?”

nThat person seemed to be bent on reasoning as he said, “Since you are a provision store, then why don’t you have Durex?”

nLu Chao: “???”

nWho the hell said we don’t?

nWe have a huge stockpile in the storeroom behind! Of all flavors and sizes, whichever you want!

nBut would he dare sell it in front of Xue Xi? How could he?!

nAfter chasing away the first customer they had received for the past month and more, Lu Chao felt as though he had just escaped death by a hairbreadth!

nMeanwhile, Xue Xi, who had silently left, suddenly had an epiphany.

nNo wonder the provision store barely has any business despite being so comprehensive. So it’s because of the store’s name.

nStill, what is Durex?

nWith this question, she entered the classroom.

nShe heard the crowd’s yips and squeals the moment she entered. The students were all crowded in groups and were discussing something while looking at their phones.

nShe had just sat down when Qin Shuang excitedly turned around. “Ah ah ah ah, Sister Xi! My idol, Xiao Bai, is coming to Bin City. He’s coming to our school for filming!”
