On the sidewalk, autumn leaves fell, like the melancholy of lovers parting.

Lin Baici and Ji Xinyan, both handsome and beautiful, attracted many people’s attention.

To be honest, in terms of clothing, Lin Baici still had a long way to go and couldn’t match Ji Xinyan’s style. However, his good looks made up for it.

“Captain, if you change your clothes, there will definitely be many girls chasing after you!”

Ji Xinyan gestured towards a girl in a windbreaker at ten o’clock: “See? That girl has already glanced at you three times!”

“I think this outfit is fine!”

No matter what they wear, they will get dirty once they enter God’s Ruins.

“What’s so good about it? It can’t bring out your temperament at all!”

Ji Xinyan looked disdainful: “If I had your looks and paid more attention to my outfit, even those senior sisters in their fourth year wouldn’t be my match!”

At that time, they didn’t even have to worry about the cost of an abortion because someone would pay for it.

Lin Baici smiled perfunctorily.

“Captain, how about we go to the big shopping mall in the city?”

Ji Xinyan suddenly had an idea and pulled Lin Baici towards the roadside, ready to hail a taxi.

“No, what time is it now?”

Lin Baici shook his head.

“The mall doesn’t close until ten o’clock. Let’s go for a while and have dinner. We have plenty of time!”

The more Ji Xinyan looked at Lin Baici, the more she felt that his good looks were wasted on his fashion sense.

“Hey, what a waste!”

A taxi stopped.

Ji Xinyan grabbed Lin Baici’s arm and pulled him towards the car.

“I really don’t want to go!”

Lin Baici had never really been to a shopping mall before, even though he was in college. He always bought clothes from roadside shops, even if he did buy them.

So he had some resistance in his mind.

“In life, you always have to experience many firsts. Leave buying clothes to me this time, and I guarantee you’ll have a pleasant experience.”

Ji Xinyan had a high emotional intelligence, but this time she was also a bit puzzled.

Lin Baici shouldn’t be short of money, but his behavior was similar to that of ordinary working-class children.

“Uncle, let’s go to Wanda!”

Ji Xinyan never called the taxi driver “master,” but instead called him “uncle” in a sweet voice, because she had learned from experience that this would make the taxi driver raise his own quality and not have to listen to dirty words and curses.

But Ji Xinyan only occasionally took a taxi. Usually, she drove herself.

What?

A driver’s license?

With Ji Xinyan’s father’s connections, getting a driver’s license was no problem.

After driving for more than thirty minutes, they arrived at Wanda Shopping Mall.

Ji Xinyan paid with her phone and pulled Lin Baici inside, casually walking around for a while before heading straight to the third floor.

“The clothes on the first floor are more expensive. Whether you can afford them or not, it’s best not to wear them in college!”

Ji Xinyan shared her experience.

Lin Baici looked at the clothes on Ji Xinyan’s body. He didn’t recognize the brand, but judging from the fabric and tailoring, they should be expensive.

“Don’t look at me, I’m different from you. I don’t pursue low-key.”

Ji Xinyan accepted Lin Baici’s scrutiny calmly, even putting her right hand behind her head and placing her left hand on her waist, striking a fashionable model pose.

“A girl wearing expensive clothes can make many pursuers hesitate. Otherwise, it would be so annoying.”

Ji Xinyan shared her secret.

Lin Baici moved his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

“Are you trying to say that I’m materialistic and that it taints love?”

Ji Xinyan shrugged: “A boy who dares to pursue a girl who seems wealthy either wants to eat swan meat as a toad or has confidence brought by talent.”

“But boys who don’t dare to pursue definitely lack courage, so even if I miss out, I don’t have to regret it!”

“What if this boy becomes successful in the future?”

Lin Baici asked in return.

“If he becomes successful, it has nothing to do with me!”

Ji Xinyan laughed: “Do you think I would regret it? A girl who regrets is either doing very poorly or has bad taste.”

“Sorry, I misspoke!”

Lin Baici felt that Ji Xinyan had a lot of thoughts.

“Why apologize? It’s just a normal conversation!”

Ji Xinyan covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed lightly: “Of course, with my personality, I would definitely curse the successful man and transfer his good luck to my husband.”

[An interesting woman, want a taste?]

“This one!”

Ji Xinyan saw a brand and pulled Lin Baici inside: “You sit first, I’ll go find some clothes!”

As soon as the salesperson saw this scene, they knew that this man had no say in the matter and went straight to Ji Xinyan to recommend this year’s autumn and winter new styles.

“Where am I?”

“What am I doing?”

“Am I going crazy?”

Lin Baici sat on the sofa in the store for customers to rest, feeling a bit confused.

He actually followed Ji Xinyan to go shopping?

He felt a bit restless,

But he couldn’t just leave Ji Xinyan behind. He took out his phone and prepared to pass the time, but just as he had read two chapters, Ji Xinyan came back with a few pieces of clothing.

Behind her, the salesperson was still holding seven or eight more.

“Go to the fitting room!”

Ji Xinyan instructed Lin Baici on which top to pair with which pants.

“Isn’t this too much?”

It’s so troublesome. Fortunately, Lin Baici had a good memory, otherwise he would have been completely confused.

“Being able to wear it and wearing it well are two different concepts!”

Ji Xinyan, like a fashion queen, didn’t allow Lin Baici to argue: “Hurry up!”

She pulled Lin Baici and pushed him into the fitting room.

Forget it!

Since they were here, he might as well try!

Lin Baici started changing clothes.

The first set was light-colored casual pants paired with a blue jacket.When Lin Baici walked out of the fitting room, the salesperson’s eyes lit up and blurted out, “Your boyfriend looks really handsome in this outfit!”

“Change it, it’s too mature. It doesn’t have the innocence of a freshman anymore, this won’t do.”

Ji Xinyan was dissatisfied.

Seeing that Ji Xinyan didn’t deny the salesperson’s words, Lin Baici felt awkward explaining that they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, as it might make Ji Xinyan uncomfortable.

He tried seven sets in a row, and Ji Xinyan could point out all sorts of flaws.

Lin Baici was going crazy!

It’s just clothes, why does it have to be so particular?

The female salesperson’s face turned green. After fussing for more than twenty minutes, if the customer didn’t buy anything, the sense of loss would be too great.

After all, no matter how you look at it, they seemed like a couple with money to spare.

“God, please buy at least one set.”

The female salesperson prayed in her heart.

“Sister has been serving you so diligently for so long, just pick this pair of jeans and hoodie, as a gesture!”

Ji Xinyan looked at Lin Baici. “What do you think?”

“It’s up to you!”

Lin Baici actually thought all of the sets were pretty good.

It must be said that Tea Sister had a strong sense of fashion.

“Try them on!”

Ji Xinyan ordered.

Lin Baici walked towards the cashier to pay, but Ji Xinyan pulled him towards the sofa. “Rest, you still have to try on more later.”

The female salesperson smiled. With these two items adding up to 1,800 yuan, she would get a commission of 200 yuan.

She didn’t see it wrong, they were rich.

Throughout the whole process, they never looked at the price tags.

Rich!

Next, Lin Baici followed Ji Xinyan to five more stores. They weren’t luxury brands, and they couldn’t even be considered high-end men’s clothing. But when Lin Baici wore the clothes, they perfectly highlighted his personal charm.

“Looking at your facial features closely, they actually belong to the rugged type. You would suit clothes with an Air Force jacket or Western cowboy style.”

Ji Xinyan explained.

Lin Baici thought to himself, with my eight-pack abs, no one would believe me if I said I was a weak scholar.

“A man should have a coat that he can show off. With your height, you can pull off anything.”

Ji Xinyan saw a store selling coats and prepared to go in.

“Forget about this one!”

Lin Baici quickly refused. He felt that the people who wore this kind of coat were either successful individuals who smoked cigars or big bosses of the underworld. When they opened their coats, they could pull out a typewriter from underneath.

“Then how about a trench coat?”

Ji Xinyan had just entered the store when two female salespersons came up to them. They could already tell from a distance that they were a couple.

Looking at the bags they were carrying, it seemed like they were on a luxury shopping spree.

This time, Ji Xinyan didn’t let Lin Baici try on the clothes. She directly picked a light brown one.

7,000 yuan!

“Are you sure it will fit?”

Lin Baici sat on the sofa, waiting to swipe his card.

“Don’t worry!”

Ji Xinyan chuckled confidently. “I picked all the clothes you tried on. Do you feel any of them don’t fit?”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Baici realized that she was right.

There were only differences in style, not in size.

The female salesperson had been working for five or six years. It was the first time she had seen someone like Lin Baici, who would just swipe his card for anything.

Ji Xinyan was very satisfied with Lin Baici’s performance. Actually, if Lin Baici had refused, she would have bought it and given it to him. If he didn’t want it, then she would just throw it away.

But Lin Baici chose to trust her, which made Ji Xinyan very happy.

I like straightforward men!

“Alright, let’s go eat!”

Ji Xinyan looked at the six sets of clothes and was very satisfied with today’s harvest.

“Wait!”

Lin Baici called out to Ji Xinyan.

“What? Are you addicted to shopping now?”

Ji Xinyan teased.

Just now, they randomly bought a bunch of things and spent over 20,000 yuan in less than two hours. But Lin Baici didn’t even bat an eye, which gave Ji Xinyan a rough idea of his financial situation.

“You’ve been busy serving me for so long, pick a favorite outfit for yourself. I’ll buy it for you!”

Lin Baici really liked these clothes.

After all, who doesn’t like looking more handsome!

In the future, he could ask Tea Sister for advice when shopping.

“Then I’ll pick this one!”

Ji Xinyan casually pointed at a beige long coat.

The female salesperson instantly became excited. This one cost 30,000 yuan.

“Please try it on!”

Lin Baici instructed the female salesperson.

“Your boyfriend is really good to you!”

The female salesperson envied.

Ji Xinyan didn’t refuse. She had been secretly observing Lin Baici’s expression, wanting to see his reaction. But even when the female salesperson came over with the POS machine to swipe the card and reported the price of 30,000 yuan, Lin Baici remained indifferent.

However, when the female salesperson inserted Lin Baici’s bank card into the POS machine, Ji Xinyan reached out and pulled out the card.

“Swipe this one!”

Ji Xinyan handed over a credit card.

Lin Baici frowned. “I said I’ll buy it for you.”

“Just treat me to a meal later!”

Ji Xinyan smiled sweetly.

Just kidding,

I, Ji Xinyan, am not a girl who accepts gifts from men easily. But I’m satisfied with your attitude.

After finishing their shopping, the two of them wandered around the fifth floor, which was filled with food.

“What do you want to eat? Japanese cuisine? Or Western food?”

Lin Baici knew that these two were more expensive and impressive.

“Haidilao Hot Pot.”

Ji Xinyan didn’t have any intention of ripping off Lin Baici. “I’ve been craving it for days. I want hot pot, with lots of meat!”

After finishing their meal, they took a taxi back to the school.

It was already dark.

As they walked on the campus, the light from the street lamps cast long shadows of them, but they were like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

There were couples walking in the campus.The two of them stopped in front of the No. 1 canteen.

“You go back!”

From here, they would go their separate ways.

“I’ll walk you back!”

Lin Baici thought it was polite.

“Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood?”

Ji Xinyan teased.

“It should be ‘Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood’?”

Lin Baici asked back. In her opinion, it was usually the girls who didn’t want to admit they had a boyfriend and would keep it a secret for a long time.

Ji Xinyan was so beautiful that if news of her having a boyfriend spread, her popularity would definitely plummet.

“Captain, don’t you know how popular you are? The name Lin Baici is already the number one in the freshman year.”

Ji Xinyan looked at the starry sky and had a self-deprecating expression. “If you walk me back, they will definitely scold me and say that I’m taking advantage of you!”

“Let’s go!”

Lin Baici walked towards the girls’ dormitory.

“Is it your first time?”

Ji Xinyan curiously asked.

“Yes!”

Lin Baici nodded.

“Yay!”

Ji Xinyan pretended to be excited and raised her small fist. “I’ve taken another first time from you. What about dinner?”

“That’s gone!”

Lin Baici suddenly became concerned. He didn’t know if Ji Xinyan still had her first time.

[Don’t worry, it’s a cherry that no one has eaten!]

“May I ask, with whom?”

Ji Xinyan tiptoed and leaned her head towards Lin Baici. “Tell me quietly, I promise not to tell anyone else!”

Lin Baici turned his head and saw the fair neck of Tea Sister and her sparkling earlobes.

[This woman is so good! Little Lin, don’t look, you can’t handle her!]

Ji Xinyan’s level was too high.

Dealing with a guy like Lin Baici who had no experience in love, it was like taking something out of a bag.

“Just a friend!”

Lin Baici didn’t mention Hua Yueyu’s name, but Ji Xinyan probably didn’t watch the livestream and didn’t know that she was a popular anchor.

This time, Lin Baici guessed wrong.

When the livestream was at its peak, Ji Xinyan also tried it for a few days, but she didn’t have the patience and didn’t like the comments from some low-quality fans. So she stopped, and her popularity, which was built up because of her good looks and figure, quickly plummeted.

Now, only a few old fans were left, still hoping for Ji Xinyan’s return.

“I hope she’s not as pretty as me!”

Ji Xinyan deliberately smiled confidently, and then she noticed that Lin Baici was also smiling.

Bad girl!

She’s a pretty girl, and at least not worse than me.

Ji Xinyan suddenly thought of the pickled vegetable girl she saw at the Feilengcui Cafe that day.

If it was her, she might not be able to handle it.

That figure, that appearance,

No man’s weakness could resist.

Under the girls’ dormitory, Lin Baici bid farewell to Ji Xinyan.

“If I hug you, our relationship will definitely become the hot topic of the girls’ dormitory these days!”

Ji Xinyan teased. “Or should I use you to become famous?”

Lin Baici didn’t know how to respond. Even Jin Yingzhen, who sent him selfies every day, never said such ambiguous words.

“Forget it, I don’t want to be attacked by people who secretly love you with sulfuric acid!”

Ji Xinyan waved her hand. “Goodbye!”

…

Lin Baici could hear the chattering of the girls. With his current vision, he could easily see the clothes hanging on the balcony with just a glance.

Hurry up!

Ten minutes later, Lin Baici returned to the dormitory.

“Where did you go to have fun yesterday?”

Qian Jiahui leaned on the bed and casually asked Lin Baici, while also transferring a thousand yuan to his ex-girlfriend who borrowed money from him.

Liu Yu, who was watching videos, noticed the bags that Lin Baici was carrying.

Go shopping!

Once you can’t resist borrowing money, your life is over.

But soon, Liu Yu thought of the tens of thousands of yuan in prize money that Lin Baici still had. It would be enough to spend for a while, and he suddenly felt depressed.

“I went to see my high school classmates!”

Lin Baici casually explained, then went to the balcony. After making sure that no one could see him, he only left two sets of clothes outside and put the rest into the black bowl.

Xu Daguan made a cup of instant coffee for Lin Baici. “Old Bai, how about collaborating with me on a program?”

“Big Brother, stop riding on my popularity!”

Fang Mingyuan, who was sitting on the bed playing with dumbbells, heard this and interjected.

Since singing a Buddhist scripture at the freshman welcome party on Friday, Old Bai’s popularity had skyrocketed.

Now, eight out of the top ten hot posts on the campus forum were about him.

The remaining two were about Senior Miqin.

“Don’t say it like that. How can you call it riding on someone’s popularity? I also have over a million fans. Let’s call it a win-win situation, okay?”

Xu Daguan complained.

He actually didn’t have a million fans, and as a talentless anchor, he relied solely on his mouth and clowning around. He had to constantly come up with program effects to ensure freshness, otherwise his fans would leave.

This time, Xu Daguan set his sights on Lin Baici.

His roommate was simply a treasure.

The Buddhist scripture he sang could make even the most wicked person turn over a new leaf, so Xu Daguan wanted to collaborate with Lin Baici on a program.

“Old Bai, I’ve watched the videos you posted. The quality is great, but the production is too rough, and there’s no marketing at all. Don’t you care about those haters in the comments section? It’s such a waste.”

Xu Daguan handed the coffee to Lin Baici.

“I don’t like to drink this!”

Lin Baici refused. Xu Daguan’s coffee came at too high a price.

“Let’s sign a contract. Let me handle the operation. I guarantee you’ll earn five million in a year!”

This was the result of Xu Daguan’s careful consideration. Livestreaming might not be a lifelong career, so he wanted to start a company and be his own boss, incubating internet celebrities.

Lin Baici was the most readily available option, and he could seize the opportunity first due to his proximity.

“Five million?”

Liu Yu didn’t believe it: “Do you think money grows on trees?”

“Although live streaming isn’t as popular now, it’s still not bad. Moreover, Old Bai can venture into short videos. Look at his natural conditions, he’s blessed by heaven!”

Xu Daguang was envious. He was a bit unattractive, so he could only take the comedic route: “Old Bai, we’re friends. Would I lie to you?”

“Five million, I just don’t believe it!”

Liu Yu insisted.

He didn’t want Lin Baici to earn less than five million, because he himself would never earn that much in his lifetime.

“Brother Qian, you should also persuade Old Bai!”

Xu Daguang sought assistance.
