My skill tree increases every day.

"They're here."

Chen Shuyan arrived a little later than usual today. Wudong University is closer to Aunt Wang's shop than Qingzhou University of Technology, so Chen Shuyan usually arrives first.

But Chen Shuyan arrived late, almost after dinner.

"Something came up and I was delayed a little."

Chen Shuyan gently twirled a strand of hair that fell from her temple with her fingers.

Why does Xiaoxue always make me change clothes? Is she playing me like Miracle Nikki?

If Mo Wenxue knew that Chen Shuyan was thinking this way, she would definitely cry foul.

It was you who refused to wear that outfit again after you went back last time, saying you weren't used to it!

The previous set worked so well!

However, this outfit suits Chen Shuyan very well today, perhaps just like the three elements of photography.

Similar elements exist in clothing.

The model is beautiful.

If you're good-looking, you'll look good even in a tattered burlap sack; if you're not good-looking, even if you wear a dragon robe, people will say you're a mango come to life.

A colorful striped short-sleeved shirt paired with white knee-length overalls, revealing beautifully curved, jade-like calves.

Wearing a pair of clean and simple white sneakers, she exudes a youthful and lively vibe.

Lin Yu looked up and couldn't help but stare for another half second.

Chen Shuyan, being stared at like that, subconsciously tugged at the straps of her suspenders.

"...What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Since that day, Chen Shuyan's style of dressing seems to have changed completely.

In Lin Yu's memory, Chen Shuyan usually wore a simple solid-color T-shirt, paired with trousers or a long skirt.

At most, you can wear a light, solid-color sun protection shirt.

In short, it couldn't be more vegetarian.

However, this bright color combination is also good and suits Chen Shuyan very well.

Full of youthful energy, like a freshman just starting college.

Although Lin Yu knew that Chen Shuyan was the same age as him and entered university in the same year, she was only a sophomore now.

"You look great today," Lin Yu said as he finished packing up his lunchbox.

Chen Shuyan's earlobes turned red instantly. She quickly walked to the table and sat down. Looking at the empty table in front of her, she was momentarily stunned.

"here."

Lin Yu thoughtfully handed the lunchbox prepared by Aunt Wang to Chen Shuyan.

"Thanks."

Having just finished eating, Lin Yu had no immediate plans to go out and work, so he stayed in the break room and sat opposite Chen Shuyan.

While looking at Chen Shuyan, he was lost in thought.

Chen Shuyan's earlobes seemed to have become even more rosy.

She seemed to be wearing some lipstick today; it was a very light cherry blossom color, and it sparkled a little under the indoor lights.

Chen Shuyan looked a bit different today, with a light and delicate makeup look.

It seems to be the so-called "no-makeup makeup," aiming to achieve the feeling of wearing makeup but not actually wearing any.

Lin Yu didn't know much about this and couldn't give an accurate assessment. He had never worn makeup since he was a child, and had only ever used one type of skincare product.

That's soap.

Actually, this wasn't the first time Chen Shuyan had worn makeup; she also wore makeup when we met on Sunday.

However, Lin Yu did not notice.

His attention was elsewhere at the time.

They didn't notice any of this.

Just looking at Chen Shuyan like this, Lin Yu felt a little bored.

At this rate, I'll start counting her eyelashes.

Lin Yu casually started a conversation with Chen Shuyan: "Why have you changed your style lately?"

Chen Shuyan paused for a moment: "Doesn't it look good?"

"It looks really good," Lin Yu said honestly. "It just looks better than before."

"Xiaoxue said... a friend of mine said," Chen Shuyan explained, "that I used to dress too plainly and didn't look energetic at all."

Your outfit doesn't make you look energetic at all!

This isn't her style at all, even the "young and energetic" girl!

Where's your blond hair?

Where's your smoky makeup?

And what about all those nails, chains, iron rings, tattoos, and alteration knives?

Lin Yu almost burst out laughing when he thought of Chen Shuyan in that kind of look.

But he held back.

"Your friend is right," he said. "It's good to be energetic; you have to be energetic."

Chen Shuyan raised her head, a glint of light flashing in her amber eyes: "You really think so?"

"Um."

Lin Yu nodded.

Chen Shuyan's lips curled up slightly, then quickly fell back down.

The two continued chatting in this casual manner.

The convenience store was bathed in sunlight in the afternoon.

Business at the store has been so-so these past few days, with not much merchandise to organize and put on the shelves, so Lin Yu's work today is relatively relaxed.

When Lin Yu stood behind the cashier wearing the apron that served as his work uniform, printed with the convenience store's name and logo, and was as light as a feather and so thin it was almost translucent, he finally got to do his job.

Lin Yu finally got to do his job.

It's not easy!

"Hey sir, give me a red envelope."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Lin Yu was very professional, spoke in a gentle tone, and made a point of using the formal "you" (您).

Try to demonstrate the professionalism of a service industry worker.

This is my first time! My first time standing here as a cashier!

Lin Yu felt a surge of excitement.

Although the hourly wage for stocking shelves is higher than that for cashiers, Lin Yu has not forgotten that he originally applied for a cashier job.

This is what I should be doing!

Lin Yu stared at the cigarette cabinet in front of him, suddenly stunned.

Which one was the highest rank, Red First Grade?

Lin Yu has never bought cigarettes, and he rarely smokes. He only occasionally gets a cigarette from a friend and tries it once or twice.

Naturally, I didn't recognize many cigarette brands.

I only recognize a few well-known brands, such as Furongwang, Liqun, Ruike, and Zhonghua.

He only knew the name; as for what the cigarette box looked like, Lin Yu didn't know either.

The cigarette cabinet is neatly arranged with dozens of brands of cigarettes, their packaging colorful and vibrant. Each cigarette pack has a small label with various names attached to its bottom.

Furongwang, Liqun, Ruike...

These were things Lin Yu noticed at first glance.

Hong Yipin? What brand is Hong Yipin?

Lin Yu's gaze swept quickly across the cigarette cabinet; there were many different kinds of red packaging.

Lin Yu felt sweat starting to appear on his forehead.

"Um... Red One, right?" Lin Yu's eyes quickly scanned the label below the red cigarette pack. "Wait a minute, let me see..."

The customer was a very energetic young man.

He had a yellow bowl cut hairstyle, wore a blue tiger-head bodysuit, black tiger-head body pants, and a black arm sleeve on one side.

There are also core item builds.

A pair of loafers that expose the ankles.

It's just a pity that there's no shrimp vein tattoo on its neck.

He waited a few seconds, and seeing that Lin Yu hadn't given a result yet, he frowned: "Nothing?"

"Yes, yes, definitely. Don't worry."

"Hello, 7 yuan."

A slender, snow-white hand reached into the cigarette cabinet.

Chen Shuyan reached out and accurately picked out a red cigarette box, placed it on the table, and handed it to the energetic young man.

"Thanks."

The young man took the cigarette, scanned the code to pay, and said thank you.

They were quite polite, though.
