When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

Upon hearing this, Su Ningyu was stunned for a moment.

She turned to look at Bai Yu, her eyes blinking blankly.

Wait a minute, why is this different from what Bai Yu said?

I remember he once said he was a second-generation rich kid.

Why would a rich kid come to work?

Therefore, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Bai Yu noticed these hints of doubt.

He touched his nose a little embarrassedly, planning to come up with an excuse later.

However, the shop manager was still speaking animatedly.

Every word he uttered was delivered with great flair.

"Let me tell you, it usually takes two of us to move this box of goods."

She pointed to the box of goods behind the counter.

After saying that, he pointed at Bai Yu.

"But he's really like a forklift; he can move things like that by himself."

"You can even carry two boxes at once!"

After saying that, the store manager smiled and nudged Bai Yu with his elbow.

"And he works several jobs a day, he has inexhaustible energy..."

"Hahaha, really?"

Bai Yu forced a smile and interrupted the store manager.

If she keeps saying that, it will become increasingly difficult to come up with a reason.

As things become more specific, it becomes more difficult to tell a lie.

"How much time has passed?"

"It'll probably only take a year or two."

The store manager touched his chin and thought for a moment.

Then she flashed that dashing smile again and nudged him with her elbow.

"Hey, I heard from your school's students that you seem to have hooked up with a rich woman?"

"No wonder I haven't seen you going out to work anymore."

"It's okay, it's normal. Someone like you, tall, handsome, strong, and with a great physique..."

The shop manager laughed twice and patted Bai Yu on the shoulder.

"If I weren't so much older than you, I would have wanted to date you."

"Ah...no, I don't think so."

Bai Yu felt utterly ashamed.

Especially the way the class monitor looked at him.

The initial doubts have now turned into complexity.

If she overthinks it, then all my previous efforts will have been wasted.

"You're here just in time. Could you restock these items for me? I'm going to the restroom."

The store manager smiled again and patted Bai Yu on the shoulder.

After saying that, she turned and left.

They didn't even give him a chance to refuse.

Bai Yu, who came to buy things, inexplicably became a laborer.

He stood there dumbfounded, watching the store manager walk away.

It only took 0.1 seconds to accept this reality.

Oh well, what can I do? I'm just a nice guy.

Bai Yu sighed and squatted down to restock.

I've done part-time work here before, so I know the ropes pretty well.

As soon as I squatted down, I felt someone poking my shoulder.

Looking up, I saw it was the class monitor.

Su Ningyu's eyes held a complex expression, and her gaze darted away.

"Bai Yu, classmate..."

"You said you're a rich kid... were you lying to me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu knew there was no escaping it any longer.

His mind raced, and he soon came up with a reason.

He stood up, shrugged, and looked completely indifferent.

"Sigh, my dad wanted me to be humble and experience life by working.

"Now that he's behaved himself, he's gone back to living the life of a rich kid."

"Really?"

Su Ningyu asked timidly, her naturally innocent face clearly showing some disbelief.

"Of course it's true."

Bai Yu spoke with great conviction.

"Would I lie to you?"

"Um......"

Su Ningyu fell silent.

Compared to the reasons Bai Yu gave herself, the store manager's explanation seemed more truthful.

Moreover, Bai Yu's embarrassment at that time couldn't have been acted out.

The store manager's talk of hooking up with a rich woman probably refers to the days when he and Qingyan were in a contractual relationship.

Since it's a contract, there will be compensation.

That explains why Bai Yu didn't go to work later on.

That's how it is...

Qingyan's money was transferred to her from Bai Yu in this way...

As Su Ningyu thought about it, she couldn't help but clutch the hem of her skirt.

We can't accept this money...

I'll return it to Bai Yu.

She didn't voice this thought.

Because she knew that even if she told him, Bai Yu would still refuse.

The two fell silent again, with only the music playing in the supermarket.

It was a Japanese song, I think it was called something like...NIGHT DANCER.

It sounds quite pleasant.

When Bai Yu was replenishing goods, his head was shaking back and forth.

Behind her, at the cashier's counter where Su Ningyu was, there seemed to be other customers paying their bills.

"Hello sir..."

"Wait a minute! Don't rush."

A voice that sounded like someone was nitpicking rang out.

Upon hearing this unexpected situation, Bai Yu turned around and saw Su Ningyu standing at the cashier with an embarrassed expression.

So he stopped restocking and stood next to Su Ningyu.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Bai Yu looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing half-rimmed glasses.

Those intelligent eyes and the two rabbit teeth that were intentionally or unintentionally displayed.

He seemed very intelligent.

"I feel I need to say a few words."

The man tilted his head, glanced at Su Ningyu, and then looked at Bai Yu.

His sharp gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them.

"I've only bought a few items from you, and I've already discovered three problems."

"what?"

"Huh?"

"first......"

The man pursed his lips and patted the cashier's table.

"The customer is king, you should provide me with smiling service."

After saying that, he turned his intelligent gaze to Su Ningyu.

"You came in with such a sour face, aren't you welcoming me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ningyu immediately panicked.

She quickly apologized, forcing a smile.

"Excuse me......"

Waaah, I was just thinking about Bai Yu.

I can't be happy at all.

Bai Yuren, who witnessed the whole thing, was dumbfounded.

Is it because the class monitor looks dull and easy to bully?

He had barely opened his mouth when the man interrupted him.

"second!"

The man changed direction again, tilting his head to look at Su Ningyu.

He placed the ice cream he had just paid for on the cashier's counter.

At the same time, he pointed with his finger.

Why doesn't my ice cream come with a scoop?

"Well......"

Su Ningyu was stunned for a moment, then weakly pointed to the bottom of the ice cream lid.

"Sir, you can find it as soon as you open it..."

"What if I don't open it? Or rather, what if it wasn't designed to be?"

Beneath the man's half-rimmed glasses, his intelligent eyes were fixed intently on Su Ningyu.

Every word seemed to be a question posed to the soul.

"If it's not there, then how can I eat it?"
