After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 461 I'll buy it all for you; dating seems a bit expensive.

"Let's do this."

The shop assistant carefully took out the bracelet he had pointed to with her gloved hand. "This agarwood bracelet is from Nanhua, with seventeen beads in total, and it's a premium grade..."

Jiang Hanying didn't have a card, so she simply showed her mobile payment code: "Swipe!"

The sales clerk, who hadn't finished her introduction, abruptly stopped, quickly grabbed the barcode scanner, scanned the item, and said, "All done." She then casually asked, "Does this need packaging?"

"Need not."

Jiang Hanying didn't even check how much money was spent. If it was too expensive, she might feel a little heartache, so she decided to just ignore it for the time being.

He shoved his phone into his pocket, picked up the bracelet from the box, and, mimicking his cheap owner, pulled his hand over and put it on his wrist. After putting it on, he leaned closer to smell it. "It looks dark, but it smells quite nice. No wonder it's called agarwood!"

The shop assistant couldn't help but smile like a doting aunt as she watched the interaction between the two.

Just by looking at the beads they like, you can pretty much tell what their personalities are like.

One is high-profile and flamboyant, the other is low-key and reserved; they complement each other quite well.

The key point is that they are all people who are not short of money!

She silently apologized in her heart for her previous speculation about being kept by a sugar daddy.

They're clearly a sweet young couple!
"Um, are we still choosing a gift?"

Jiang Hanying looked at the other items displayed in the counter. Apart from the jade bracelet that had just been rejected by its cheap owner, the other suitable and beautiful items were too expensive to afford, and the less expensive ones didn't appeal to her. She never expected that choosing a gift for someone would be so troublesome.

It's more convenient to choose for yourself.

Li Chengxiao saw through her thoughts and decisively said, "Let's go check out other stores."

Jiang Hanying immediately realized that they had only visited one store and there were still so many stores left to visit. She stopped worrying about it and nodded, "Let's go."

Although the shop assistant felt a little disappointed, she didn't insist on keeping him and politely said, "Welcome to visit again next time!"

After leaving the store, they walked for about fifty meters before stopping almost simultaneously.

This time, however, they were looking in two directions.

Li Chengxiao turned his head and saw someone staring longingly at the ice cream shop on the left!
I couldn't help but remind you, "You can't eat while wearing a mask."

"Then I'll pull my hat down and walk behind you, eating with my head down, and you can block my view."

Li Chengxiao: "..."

He was quite impressed that it was all for a bite to eat!
"Besides, there aren't many people in the mall now, so they probably won't notice me."

Unable to resist their foodie hearts, the two finally stepped into the ice cream shop.

The staff had already started packing up to close the store, but when they saw a customer come in, they quickly greeted them, "You can scan the QR code to order with your phone. New customers can get a coupon, but right now only the mint chocolate and lemon vanilla flavors are available."

Jiang Hanying decisively said, "Then let's have one of each."

Li Chengxiao: "..."

Luckily, only these two flavors are left!

After using her phone to claim a new customer coupon and placing her order, Jiang Hanying watched as the shop assistant took the order and started making the food. While waiting, she remembered to turn around and ask, "Which shop were you thinking of going to?"

Li Chengxiao pointed to the shop across the street that looked deserted, with hardly any customers and not even a staff member in sight. "That one."

Jiang Hanying looked over and saw that the light-colored sign only had two words written on it: "Suzhou, what does this sell?"

"I don't know yet, but this store looks a bit special."

Hearing this, a shop assistant busy cleaning utensils looked up and replied enthusiastically, "You'll see when you go inside. This shop is self-service; there are no owners or staff. Customers just select what they want and scan the code to pay. However, the things they sell are quite expensive!"

Jiang Hanying was delighted to hear this, "That's perfect. You can go in and pick out a gift later, and I'll just eat."

Since there are no staff or customers, it's okay to take off your mask and eat openly.

Li Chengxiao, who knew exactly why someone was so excited: "..."

He really picked a good store this time!
A few minutes later, Jiang Hanying walked out of the ice cream shop with an ice cream in each hand. As she walked towards the shop across the street, she ran into a family of three passing by.

The little boy, standing in the middle and being led by his parents, looked up at the ice cream cone in her hand and stopped in his tracks. "Didn't you tell me that the store didn't sell ice cream? Why does this lady have it, and even two!"

The two parents who were accused: "..." Look at the ice cream in Jiang Hanying's hand, and then look at the shop next to her that is really going to close down this time.

"Go, go, go!"

"No, I'm not leaving! I want ice cream!"

"Didn't you see it's already closed? Where am I supposed to buy it for you?"

"I see that lady just bought it but hasn't eaten it yet, why don't you buy one from her!"

Jiang Hanying immediately withdrew her hand; how dare they still covet the ice cream that she hadn't even had a chance to eat?

"That's because your parents don't want to buy it for you. I won't sell it to you either; I don't even have enough to eat myself."

After saying that, he quickened his pace and entered the shop called Suzhou.

Hearing the little boy outside still insisting on wanting ice cream, and the parents switching from scolding to coaxing him when it didn't work, Jiang Hanying quickly wiped her mask down and then took a bite out of each of the two ice creams.

Now even if the parents compromise and come in, hoping she can spare one, they won't be able to.

Li Chengxiao had just followed her in when he saw her eager movements. "Is it delicious?"

"Mmm, it's delicious!" She paused for a moment, then added, "Would you like to try some?"

Alarm bells ringing!

"The kind where you take one bite and then another?"

Am I that kind of person?

Li Chengxiao didn't speak this time, but only expressed with his eyes: Isn't that right?
But after glancing at the rather large portions of ice cream in her hands, I still added, "Give it to me if you can't finish it, don't force yourself to eat it."

Jiang Hanying nodded, pointed with her chin at the goods displayed around her, and gestured with her eyes: Hurry up and choose!
After all, both hands and mouth are occupied.

Li Chengxiao looked around.

The lighting in this shop was yellowish and a bit dim, and there was hardly anyone else there besides the two of them; it was very quiet.

The goods are displayed in a very casual and varied manner, and at a glance, you can say that there is everything.

From paintings that are almost as tall as a person and hang on the wall, to brooches and earrings.

Jewelry, handicrafts, and clothes and bags—anything with a price tag displayed next to it is something you can buy.

As for the price, it's true, as the ice cream shop employee said, that they're not cheap at all.

After a quick look around, the cheapest one is at least four figures.

As Jiang Hanying ate, she looked around and swallowed the ice cream in her mouth. "It feels like a general store, and the things are so expensive!"

"Ah."

"Ding!" The little yellow duck, which had been sitting motionless on the counter, suddenly made a sound. As the two turned their heads to look, the duck opened its beak and said, "Suzhou is not a general store. The goods here are all collected by my master from all over the world. You can't see them anywhere else."

Jiang Hanying paused in her ice cream eating. "Isn't there no one watching the shop? How come this duck can talk?"

Li Chengxiao leaned closer to take a look. "It should be a pre-set program. Once a guest comes in and triggers a keyword, it will respond accordingly."

Jiang Hanying then felt relieved and continued eating. "It seems that I'm not the only one who thinks this place is like a general store. Is there anything you like?"

Li Chengxiao picked up the palm-sized object in front of him. "This one."

Jiang Hanying leaned closer for a look, "What is this? A cup? It's quite exquisite!"

Li Chengxiao: "The celadon incense burner is of pretty good quality."

Jiang Hanying nodded as if she understood, then glanced at the price tag and her eyes widened immediately: "This tiny stove costs more than 30,000!"

Little Yellow Duck: "The customer has a good eye. This celadon incense burner was made in modern times and is already a hundred years old..."

Jiang Hanying finished one of the ice creams, then used her free hand to pinch its hard mouth. "Pay up! I'm just a little surprised, not that I think it's expensive."

While buying ice cream, she glanced at the payment records in front of her. She had already bought a bracelet worth over 100,000 yuan, so a stove worth 30,000 yuan was nothing to her.

These dates do seem to cost a bit of money!
