Honest Beta gets scammed

He Xiangchen followed not far behind him, taking in Li Qing's series of small actions. He finally understood what this country bumpkin was struggling with and couldn't help but sneer.

He waved and, when the shop assistant came up to him, whispered an instruction to her.

"Wrap up both of the outfits he tried on earlier."

The shop assistant's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, sir!"

Immediately, He Xiangchen walked towards Li Qing. Along the way, his eyes swept over the shelves, and he took down the clothes that Li Qing had clearly shown a liking for from the hangers one by one.

Li Qing was pondering how to exchange the secret code with He Xiangchen when she heard a noise beside her.

Looking up, he saw that He Xiangchen was following him not far behind, holding several pieces of clothing in his hands!

This is an opportunity that comes along once in a lifetime!

He didn't even have time to wonder why He Xiangchen was carrying so many clothes. He quickly took small steps to He Xiangchen's side, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "He Xiangchen, He Xiangchen!"

"Um?"

"This store is a rip-off! I just checked, and a short-sleeved shirt costs tens of thousands! Isn't this blatant robbery? Let's run!"

They were very close, and Li Qing was pressed against He Xiangchen's arm.

The warmth of his body penetrated the thin fabric, causing He Xiangchen to stiffen slightly.

He was always at ease and composed when he deliberately tried to get close to Li Qing, but now that Li Qing was taking the initiative to come closer, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Tsk.

Why does this Beta have absolutely no sense of boundaries?

From this country bumpkin's perspective, he's at least an Alpha, so why is he just casually sticking up to me like this? Isn't he afraid of causing trouble?

Ha, it's just that I have absolutely no interest in this country bumpkin. What would happen to this country bumpkin if it were someone with ulterior motives?

He Xiangchen thought disdainfully to himself, but his body showed no intention of backing down. He was in a good mood, chuckled, and lowered his head, imitating Li Qing.

"I'll buy it for you, don't panic."

Ok?

He Xiangchen's gaze paused slightly.

He seemed to smell a very faint fragrance on Li Qing.

There was only a trace of it, but the smell was wonderful, as if it had hooks that tickled his heart.

He Xiangchen unconsciously lowered his body further, tilting his head down and twitching his nose slightly, as if trying to confirm that he hadn't misheard.

He was already a head taller than Li Qing, and now that Li Qing was slightly lowering his head, when he got so close, from an outsider's perspective, it looked like he was burying his face in the back of Li Qing's neck, a very intimate gesture.

Holy crap!

A young female shop assistant covered her mouth tightly, her eyes wide open, and slapped her colleague's arm frantically a dozen times with her other hand.

Her colleague was bewildered by her sudden illness, rubbing her sore shoulder and giving her a questioning look.

The female shop assistant was so excited that she couldn't speak. She immediately pointed in the direction the colleague was pointing, and the next second, her face turned red and her mouth stretched to her ears.

The store manager noticed that the two employees were huddled together and not working. He frowned and walked over to see what they were doing. Following their gaze, he also saw He Xiangchen and Li Qing in that ambiguous position.

She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, as if it were nothing new, "Alright, stop looking. He's a notorious womanizer and rich second-generation, just a new love interest. Don't take it too seriously."

Shop assistant and colleagues: "Ah..."

He Xiangchen was unaware that his little actions had been observed, and even less aware that his relationship with Li Qing had been misunderstood.

He simply noticed that Li Qing smelled nice.

But it was too faint, and he couldn't smell it clearly, which made him inexplicably anxious.

He moved even closer, his nose almost touching the skin on the back of Li Qing's neck.

Li Qing felt an itch on the back of his neck, but all his senses were stunned by He Xiangchen's words, "I'll buy it for you."

Ask He Xiangchen to buy it for him?! Are you kidding me?

He suddenly looked up, wanting to dissuade He Xiangchen from his idea.

"Thump!"

A muffled thud.

Li Qing's head made solid contact with He Xiangchen's nose.

"hiss!"

He Xiangchen felt a lump in his throat from the sudden impact and staggered backward.

He covered his nose, and anger suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart.

This anger came out of nowhere, not from the sharp pain in his nose, but from a deeper kind of violence and urgency, similar to being interrupted while eating. The aroma was right at the tip of his nose, and he was about to catch it, but it was all destroyed by this sudden attack.

Li Qing rubbed the back of his head, and when he looked up, he saw He Xiangchen covering his nose and bending over.

Suddenly it dawned on him: He Xiangchen was delicate and frail. If he were to smash his head against him, wouldn't he break his nose?

"I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"

Li Qing disregarded the pain in the back of her head and quickly stepped forward to support He Xiangchen.

He Xiangchen was bent over, covering his nose with one hand. Li Qing couldn't see his gloomy expression at all and thought he was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up. She felt even more guilty.

Am I actually cut out to practice Iron Head Kung Fu?

"Let me see, let me see! Is there any bleeding? I'm so sorry, I looked up too quickly just now, it wasn't on purpose!"

Li Qing was extremely anxious and reached out to pry He Xiangchen's hand away from his nose.

With incessant chatter filling his ears, He Xiangchen's hands were forcibly pried open. When he looked up, he met Li Qing's face, which was filled with worry. Her clear eyes were now filled with panic, like a puppy that had done something wrong, looking pitifully at its owner.

The surging anger in my heart, like a balloon punctured by a needle, deflated with a "pop."

Li Qing carefully examined He Xiangchen's nose and found that apart from being a little red, there was no sign of bleeding or breakage. He then breathed a long sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "Thank goodness, no nosebleed. You scared me to death."

He Xiangchen looked at him silently, a soreness still lingering in his nose.

A moment later, he forced a smile and straightened up: "It's okay, you should have bought almost everything, I'll go pay."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the cashier.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment. When she realized what he was going to do, she quickly chased after him, grabbed his sleeve, and said urgently in a low voice, "No, no! So much! It's too expensive! Are you crazy! Where would you get so much money?"

I have plenty of money!

He Xiangchen really wanted to reply to Li Qing like that, but when the words were about to come out, he thought of his public image.

After holding back for a while, He Xiangchen smiled again and reassured Li Qing, "Don't worry, although I don't have much real power, my family has a partnership with this brand, so I can get a discount. It won't cost much, so don't worry."

After saying that, without giving Li Qing a chance to speak, she decisively turned around and walked towards the cashier.

The moment he turned around, the smile on his face vanished completely.

snort!

He rubbed his still sore nose, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

What are you pretending for? You're just a stinky Beta, trying to imitate others by wearing perfume. Who are you trying to impress?

That's all the money you're entitled to. Do you think I'd be happy to buy it for you?
