Young Again

Chapter 67 Taking Li Xintong Clothes Shopping

After arriving at the mall and picking up their backpacks, the two of them went up to the third floor carrying their bags.

However, we didn't eat hotpot or barbecue. Instead, we went to a western restaurant in Jiangchuan that has been open for a long time and is quite affordable. The name of the restaurant is "Shuyi".

The average price per person is about 60-70 yuan, and parents often bring their children here. Many students also like to come to this kind of place, ordering a glass of juice and a piece of filet, which is considered a high-end consumption.

After all, it was 2013, an ordinary county town, and the environment was quite good.

This place is also a holy place for high school students to have early love dates.

"You will choose."

After the steak was served, Chen Wang commented on Li Xintong's choice with great appreciation.

Hearing this, Li Xintong was stunned for a moment. Then, with a slight smile and a little pride, she asked, "Tell me, how did I choose it?"

In response, Chen Wang said happily: "Beef is a high-quality protein for fitness."

"..." Li Xintong's expression gradually returned to calm. She pursed her lips and then stretched out her hand, "Eat."

"You seem to have something to say."

"Stop talking and eat."

Li Xintong should have thought long ago that Chen Wang’s speech would definitely not be what she expected.

This guy, really didn't do it on purpose?

If it was really intentional.

Then I'll kill him!

Looking at the medium-rare steak, Chen Wang, who was already hungry, picked up his knife and fork and cut into large chunks to eat. He also asked, "Do you think Shuyi will cooperate with us?"

"I feel..." Li Xintong thought for a moment and was not sure. "Today is not a holiday, nor is it Saturday or Sunday, but business is already pretty good. I feel like there's no need for that kind of promotion."

"It's quite unnecessary."

Chen Wang was also very clear that this old store, which had been in business for more than ten years and was the only western restaurant in Jiangchuan (not counting KFC and McDonald's), had good food and a solid customer base, so there was no need for any promotion.

On the contrary, it should not be done.

Because when sales volume is stable, the traffic brought by promotions is not as strong as the damage caused by promotions to the stability of food prices.

What would you do if a store always holds promotions?
You will only eat it when it is active.

If there is no discount, it even feels like a loss.

As for Shuyi, there are basically no promotions, only free gifts for members and special sales of specific foods during special time periods, which are promotions with a little bit of uniqueness.

So when will a store like 'Shuyi' feel anxious?
Wait until Banqiushan moves into the shopping mall in a few years.

However, Chen Wang really wants to open this store.

Have to wait.

When Chen Wang's strength can match Shuyi's, then it will be the powerful combination that Chen Wang hopes for.

"Would you like some juice?" Chen Wang asked while eating.

"Why are you praising your son like a fool?" Li Xintong showed her lesson and immediately refused, "Lemonade is enough."

It's a bit tricky.

This Li Xintong really treats her own money as "our" money.

Whether it’s a public account, a SLR, or start-up capital, she has a strong sense of being the protagonist.

But the good news is that she doesn't have to be paid.

What a chicken feather, maybe she will really eat half of it!
"There's no need to keep a record of today's meals," said Chen Wang.

After all, it was a celebration party. If everything was regarded as "borrowing money", the warmth between him and Li Xintong would fade.

Although brothers are clear about their accounts, they will also give selflessly sometimes.

"Okay." Li Xintong nodded, then used a fork to pick up a piece of cut steak and put it into her mouth.

However, when she raised her head, she paused for a moment, and then said to Chen Wang indifferently: "Hey, I saw the person you like."

Youyou is off work?
Chen Wang turned his head curiously.

Then, he saw An Jiani and her friends, sitting a few tables behind him...

The two people's eyes met for a second.

Turning back, looking at Li Xintong who was observing his reaction, Chen Wang was a little speechless: "I don't know if you are humiliating me, or if you really think I like her."

"How do I humiliate you?" Li Xintong said unconvincedly, "I've liked you for several years, so how can you just say you don't like me anymore?"

"But isn't that a rejection?"

"So if she doesn't refuse, you will be with her?"

"Isn't this nonsense? I'm just chasing after you when I have nothing to do?"

"..." Li Xintong was a little confused after she realized that she had said something nonsense. After adjusting a little, she added, "I mean, did you like her before?"

"Doesn't the whole school know this?"

"No, I mean, apart from her looks and personality, do you still think she's nice?"

"Did you throw too much?"

Li Xintong became more and more conflicted as she spoke. She then raised her finger to tell Chen Wang to shut up. After thinking for a while, she finally understood what she wanted to say: "Did you really like her before?"

"..."

Chen Wang understood.

She wanted to ask whether this kind of liking was just following the trend, whether she was being kept hanging, or whether the pursuit had become a habit.

Rather, the real dream girl.

After thinking about this, Chen Wang propped up his head and began to recall that dark history. Then, he confessed truthfully: "Well, it seems that I still really like her."

The young man's feelings are sincere and persistent.

Although I fall in love with every girl I meet, An Jiani is at least the one I love the most among all the girls I meet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have persisted for so long, and even something like handing the love letter to the teacher could be forgiven.

But the indifference I feel now is also true indifference.

"Oh." Li Xintong was not too angry about Chen Wang's sincerity, nor did she intend to mock him. She had never liked a boy before, so she was a little curious and said with a little yearning, "What is written in your love letter? I want to know."

"Eat."

Li Xintong's performance just now was directly mirrored, and Chen Wang didn't want her to speak anymore.

"Just tell me..."

"Eat it quickly."

Still want to know what's written in my love letter?
I don’t even remember it!

It was precisely because he didn't remember that Chen Wang wanted to get the love letter back from Lao Jiang.

Chen Wang was unwilling to talk about it, so the topic had to be dropped.

After a while, the two of them finished eating.

After paying the bill and preparing to leave, Chen Wang looked at Li Xintong, thought for a while, and said, "You will go out for many photo shoots in the future, and you don't bring many clothes from home. We happen to be in the mall now, let's go take a look."

"..." Li Xintong's heartbeat throbbed with Chen Wang's words. She picked up a tissue and wiped her lips while shaking her head, saying indifferently, "Anyway, we're not meeting the same person, so two sets are enough."

Normally, the narcissistic Li Xintong is always calm and composed, but once the moment comes, her contradictions and helplessness begin to take effect.

Chen Wang knew that it would take some time to adapt.

But he really felt that Li Xintong had become his best friend now.

Even though their favorite daily activity is bickering.

"It's work clothes. It's required for work."

Chen Wang looked at her and said firmly.

In fact, Li Xintong didn't want to refuse from the beginning, but she was embarrassed to accept it. And if the other party insisted, she didn't need to be shy.

So, with a polite smile, she nodded and whispered, "Okay."

"Okay, let's go then."

"But the mall is a bit too expensive, and we don't know how to bargain..."

"Then just go to a store where you don't need to bargain."

"Ah..." Li Xintong thought for a moment and said, "But any one of those would cost several hundred yuan."

In fact, apart from winter clothes, Li Xintong basically doesn't have any clothes that cost more than three hundred yuan.

When I buy clothes, I usually go to the pedestrian street or some roadside shops.

I basically never buy anything in the mall except down jackets.

"It's better than those shops that quote a thousand dollars and then readily agree if you cut it in half."

In fact, Chen Wang knows how to bargain, and this is the kind of business he does.

But since he became rich, he never looked at the price when buying things. This character of praising his children directly has continued to this day.

Not to mention bargaining when buying clothes with girls.

"Alright alright."

Li Xintong had no choice but to accept it.

She actually wanted to say something like "Thank you, Mr. Chen" to liven up the atmosphere, but she felt even more embarrassed when she said it.

This resulted in her rarely saying thank you to Chen Wang.

He also rarely showed any reaction that would make the other person feel good when Chen Wang gave him help and gifts.

After all, she had sworn before that if she showed such embarrassing stupidity in front of Chen Wang again, she would be a dog.

Following Chen Wang, Li Xintong went into a well-known women's clothing brand called "Qiu Shui Yiren (chiushui)" with him.

Chen Wang is very familiar with this store.

Because he stole the women's clothing patterns of this store.

Mr. Chen, I have been a stealer for a long time.

As soon as she entered, Li Xintong frowned. A skirt cost four or five hundred yuan.

However, Chen Wang was very satisfied. It was worthy of being the brand he had stolen. The style and quality were still very good, and it was not shoddy.

As they walked, Chen Wang stopped. Li Xintong also stopped.

It was a French-style feather-white knitted spliced one-shoulder long skirt, which could directly screen out people with short legs and fat bodies, but would definitely be suitable for people with long legs and thin bodies.

Li Xintong felt that this was not her style.

But, want to try.

"Hey, come and try this. It's really suitable for tall beauties like you with good figures." Seeing this, the female salesperson hurriedly promoted it.

"I'll take another look..."

Li Xintong felt that it was not cheap, so she decided to go and see it again.

"Let's give it a try." Chen Wang said.

"Okay." Seeing him say that, Li Xintong agreed.

Anyway, it’s just a try, not necessarily a purchase.

Although this is not my style, it looks like Chen Wang...

Never mind, he knows nothing.

After thinking for a while, Li Xintong took her clothes and went into the locker room.

At this time, Chen Wang also had a blood viscosity attack. He sat down on the stool next to the glass and started playing with his mobile phone.

After a while, two "cough coughs" were suddenly heard.

Chen Wang ignored him, and the clerk said, "Boyfriend, look up."

Slowly, Chen Wang raised his head.

Then, I saw Li Xintong, whose face suddenly turned a little pink and red. She was wearing a graceful and elegant dress, revealing her thin and three-dimensional collarbone, and her high waist was straight without a trace of fat. It also made her long legs look even longer, like a pure white fairy, infinitely beautiful...

Li Xintong is definitely a perfect model.

It’s true, it’s quite beautiful.

"She's so beautiful! She's definitely the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in our store!" the clerk couldn't help but praise.

“But I feel like it doesn’t quite fit my style.”

Li Xintong mainly thought that the 699 was inappropriate.

"No, it's very beautiful. It suits you perfectly. It was made for you." The clerk started to speak glibly and was quite good at talking.

Yes, it is suitable.

Why did Li Xintong know this?

Because Chen Wang had been staring at his collarbone for quite a while.

Forget it, just change it.

However, before changing it, Li Xintong wanted to keep it as a souvenir, so she pointed to the SLR bag to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang understood what she meant, so he took out the camera from his bag and held it up.

Seeing this, the clerk quickly said: "Well, you can't take pictures."

This is to prevent theft of money.

It was impossible for Chen Wang not to understand this, so when focusing on the shooting, he said casually: "I bought this one."

"Well, that's fine." The clerk nodded.

The reason for not allowing filming is to prevent people from stealing the money and not buying.

But if you bought it when the money was stolen, there is nothing you can do.

I can't not sell you, can I?
"..." Li Xintong froze when she heard this and looked at the clerk to say something.

"Look at the camera, don't be so stiff."

"..."

Chen Wang had already made his decision, and Li Xintong had no choice but to look at him again.

In reality, only the camera blocking his face can be seen.

It doesn't seem so embarrassing if you're not facing it directly.

What would an elegant girl like she was attending a party look like?
Li Xintong did not have such experience. As a girl from an ordinary or even poor family, she could only rely on her fantasy.

But it’s not just fantasy.

Every girl likes beautiful skirts naturally.

When Chen Wang was taking the photo, Li Xintong slowly put her hands behind her back, her fingers slightly intertwined. Then she tilted her head slightly, revealing a rare innocent, yet rare shy and quiet smile...

Through the camera, Chen Wang's face unconsciously turned red.

A little hot.

For the first time, I felt that Li Xintong's heart was beating differently.

This was a reaction that she had never had before when she planted her hands on her chest...

No? Why is she smiling at me like that?
but,

Well, so cute.
