I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

Lu Yunzi had a strange feeling.

"So, what exactly is the purpose of bringing me here?" Although he had made the mistake, Liu Yan still seemed a little dissatisfied.

"I wouldn't have called you if there was nothing wrong. Go on."

Xiaoyou said as he threw an object to him.

"Huff!" Perhaps he was used to it, Liu Yan answered the call without much effort.

"What's this..."

"You'll know if you take a look. Just help me apply it." Xiaoyou's impatient voice came.

"Tu... Hey, no way..." Liu Yan finally saw clearly what the object was.

"Sunscreen..."

..................

It's not like I'm choosing clothes, what's the good advice...

Although I thought so, seeing that Xiaoye seemed unable to make her own decision, I had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

"Well, please take a look at this one..."

"If you don't like this color, there's this one. It's sure to suit your figure..."

"Well, if you're not satisfied with the price... this one should be suitable, and the quality is guaranteed..."

“…”

So, after being introduced to several models, Xiaoye still had an hesitant expression on his face.

“…”

And I was too embarrassed to interrupt... After all, people might mistakenly think that my hobbies are just this or that...

"...Why don't you try to persuade her?" The salesperson might have been a little overwhelmed, so he quietly came over.

"How can I persuade you..."

"You're not her boyfriend, so just buy her something you like. It's for you to wear anyway."

Well said! If I were her boyfriend, I'd definitely pick out a swimsuit I'd liked from the start and pay for it without hesitation... but I'm not her boyfriend.

"Ahem..." I concealed my excitement and whispered to the salesperson, "Think carefully about what conditions can stimulate women's consumer instincts."

"...Oh, I see."

As he said this, he made a "steady" gesture towards me.

"Finally understand..." Although he is a little young, he doesn't look ignorant.

"Ah, actually, we have a promotion going on. Buy this one..." She picked up the white swimsuit that I had my eye on from the beginning and gave me a quick smile. "There will be a gift included."

You can see all this...how amazing.

"Oh, really?" Xiaoye suddenly became interested.

"Really, if you decide to buy it, you can get a 20% discount because it's a tourist season sale." He pointed to the billboard next to him.

Ah, that's true. I hadn't noticed it before.

And Xiaoye seemed really moved, and looked very eager...

Is it true that women really can't resist the dual temptation of gifts and discounts when shopping... Come to think of it, I'm the same. Although I won't go shopping in stores, if there are discounts on limited-time props in the game or good-looking limited skins are released, I can't help but buy them, not to mention the pre-order packs that come with card backs. For someone like me who has a collecting hobby, it's simply irresistible.

But now looking at it from an outsider's perspective...it's all a conspiracy by the merchants.

"Well...in that case...why not...buy this one." Xiaoye seemed to like this style as well.

Well, it’s finally over... It’s so troublesome to just buy a swimsuit, not to mention how troublesome it will be to accompany my girlfriend shopping for this and that in the future.

Oh, I almost forgot I don’t have a girlfriend, so don’t worry about it.

"Okay, in that case I'll go and pay the bill."

I said as I walked towards the counter on the side.

"Wait, Sheji...isn't this a bad idea?"

"It's nothing. After all, I've received so much care from you on a daily basis, so it's only right that I give you a gift."

What's more, you will have to wear it for me to see later.

"Then...then..."

"It's okay, it's okay..." I waved and walked away.

..............

"All right."

I handed the demagnetized and packaged swimsuit to Xiaoye.

"Thank you... If the price is unacceptable to you... I will return the money to you."

Oops... Still wondering about this? Actually, it's not that expensive.

"Speaking of which, what exactly was the gift?"

I began to change the subject.

"That's very thoughtful...not all merchants are unscrupulous." Xiaoye said as he handed me a box.

"Oh... Really..."

Have businesses changed their ways these days? Even a company that "creates happiness through top-up" has recently started giving away skins for free.

"Hmm..." I took a look at the packaging of the box.

"..."

Is this a hint of something?

"Sunscreen...?"

Will things go smoothly?

According to the theory of cause and effect, the cause of one thing must be the result of the development of another thing; the result of the development of one thing must also be the cause of the occurrence of another thing.

Looking at the sunscreen in my hand, which I didn’t know if it was a famous brand, I suddenly remembered that Ye Jin seemed to have talked to me about sunscreen before I came to see Xiaoye.

"Help me apply it~"

Yes, that's it.

But because I didn't apply sunscreen for her, I don't know if some law was triggered, but I inexplicably found a bottle of sunscreen in my hand.

Although it comes as a gift.

And there is another strange thing... Why did Ye Jin insist on asking me to apply the cream on her? It would be better to let the girls in the same group do it. After all, they are of the same sex and there would be no embarrassment or shyness.

And although she concealed it very well, but now that I think about it carefully, that guy's expression was very forced, as if he was very anxious.

Also, normally she would never ask me to do anything, let alone something like this.

In other words, there are unspeakable reasons behind Ye Jin's series of results.

interesting...

"Sheji...what's wrong with you? You have been staring at the sunscreen since just now." Xiaoye tugged at my sleeve and reminded me.

"...Uh, no...it's okay."

I've been thinking about so much without realizing it...

"Let's go now. We have to find other people quickly."

"Yeah." Xiaoye followed me out of the mall.

It's not ruled out that this was an activity initiated by someone... Although Rinquanchuan didn't propose it, as long as other people proposed something similar, it would basically be confirmed.

Is it truth or dare... or is there another purpose...

Well, I don't know what it is specifically, but since the goal is to apply sunscreen, I'd say just don't do anything.

I think it will be very interesting.

"Hehehehe..." I laughed unconsciously.

"Sheji...your laugh is a bit scary."

Xiaoye's eyes were filled with worry...

"Oh... Really... Sorry."

"...Is it because I forced you to write a book that put pressure on you?"

I'm not that fragile...

"Of course not. I just happened to think of something funny, so I laughed."

As soon as I said it, I realized that the reason was a bit far-fetched... Under normal circumstances, I shouldn't laugh like that.

"Oh, is that a joke? Can you tell it to me?" However, Xiaoye didn't notice much.

"of course can."

.........................

Chapter 11 Will everything go smoothly?

Seeing that Liu Yan had already received the sunscreen, Xiaoyou lay down on the folding chair.

"Okay, come on."

“…I don’t wear it.”

Liu Yan stood there thinking for a while, then solemnly rejected Xiaoyou's request.

"Why?" Xiaoyou immediately showed a puzzled expression.

"Because you hurt my hand, look, look..." As he said this, he swung his arm weakly, as if it was broken.

"You always find such weird excuses...you know I won't believe you." Xiaoyou showed an impatient look.

"..."

Well, at least there are senior students watching over me, so even if it’s the truth, there’s no need to say it so bluntly... Liu Yan thought.

"Okay, stop making excuses. You should apply it quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if your skin gets sunburned." The senior student also advised Liu Yan.

"In that case, then you can help Xiaoyou apply it." Liu Yan looked at Lu Yunzi beside him and prepared to hand the sunscreen in his hand to her.

"No...no." Lu Yunzi refused hurriedly.

"...Why."

"Because...that..." When Lu Yunzi was looking for an excuse, he suddenly saw Senior Sun coming back from buying drinks.

"I'm going for a walk with Hao, so excuse me."

"Ah? I just..." However, Senior Sun did not seem to understand the situation.

"Didn't we agree on this...huh?! Did you forget?" At this time, Lu Yunzi had already approached Senior Sun.

"...When did you say that?"

"Look, you really forgot, didn't you? Really, Ah Hao is really forgetful."

"...Forehead..."

"Okay, okay, put down the drinks, let's go play over there." As he said that, he snatched the drink from Senior Sun's hand and put it aside, then pulled his arm and walked away.

"We'll go ahead and take your time."

"...Where are you going?"

"That's enough... just follow me..."

Looking at the backs of the two seniors leaving, Liu Yan and Xiaoyou suddenly realized something and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Na..."
