Leading these two energetic advisors, Gu Luoqi felt her back straighten up a bit.

Well, look how impressive this is.

Once inside, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar shops, she felt her straightened back slump again.

As for why? It must be because of poverty.

But after shopping for a while, she felt a bit more normal, and indeed, shopping made her feel happy.

Of course, she might be in a better mood if she didn't have to use her money.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve been shopping at the mall,” she said softly.

She didn't even know that several new shops had opened nearby.

"I asked you to come not long ago, but you wouldn't come," Cheng Cheng said casually.

"That's because I was too poor before. It was hard for me to just look at things and not be able to buy them," Gu Luoqi retorted.

"Oh, so you mean you have money now? Perfect, you can cover lunch too." Cheng Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Please, please spare me." Gu Luoqi looked pained.

She also wants to buy a gift for Qi Sheng.

This time, she managed to get the funds by telling her father that her birthday was coming up and that he should give her something in return.

So after buying Qi Sheng a gift, she might be a little short on cash for her birthday.

It's heartbreaking to think about; this is her eighteenth birthday, her coming-of-age ceremony.

How many more times can she be eighteen?

“You have two,” the system said calmly, correcting her mistake.

"Don't mention this, it's too painful to recall." Gu Luoqi became even more sorrowful when this topic was brought up.

Her previous life was even more tragic.

It was all because that wretched guy Su Yan had to pick a fight with her that day. She won't go into details, though; it's all tears when she talks about it.

"Fine, seeing how pitiful you look, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll cover lunch!" Cheng Cheng said with a rather heroic air.

"Little Orange! You're so kind." Gu Luoqi's face was filled with exaggerated emotion.

As expected, Xiao Chengzi still loves her.

"Nonsense, I've always been very hospitable. This is Ya Ya's first time visiting us. How could I sit idly by if you don't show her the proper hospitality?" Cheng Cheng immediately became arrogant.

Gu Luoqi: Hehe, she knew it.

"No need, really no need," Li Mingya couldn't help but decline.

“Ya Ya, don’t refuse, she’s right.” Gu Luoqi chimed in to Cheng Cheng.

As long as she gets a free meal, the process doesn't matter, and there's no need to pay attention to these little details.

“We’re all brothers, no need to be so polite with me. Why don’t you come to my place today? It’s probably so boring with this guy.” Cheng Cheng started openly trying to poach him.

Gu Luoxi couldn't stand it anymore. This was simply too much. If you're going to say this, can't you at least do it behind her back? Is she a dead person?

"Little Orange, you can't just poach someone like that."

Li Mingya remained silent.

Well, thinking back to her nightmare last night, Cheng Cheng's words actually made her a little bit tempted.

“They’ve already stayed at your house for one night, that’s enough. You can’t be so greedy.” Cheng Cheng wouldn’t budge an inch.

This was the first time Li Mingya had felt so sought after, and he was a little flattered.

However, seeing Gu Luoqi's pitiful eyes, she couldn't bear it. "No need, you don't need to trouble yourself."

Seeing that the other party had already spoken, Cheng Cheng did not press the matter further.

"Wait! Look, that's huge!" Gu Luoqi caught a glimpse of something that piqued her interest, and her voice rose a few decibels, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.

This appearance is enough to attract the attention of passersby.

"Keep it down, my ears are about to go deaf." Cheng Cheng was very dissatisfied. What's with all this fuss?

"I was just a little too excited," Gu Luoqi said, still feeling a bit aggrieved.

Cheng Cheng followed Gu Luoxi's gaze and saw an enormous mammoth. It looked furry and adorably ugly, exactly the kind of thing Gu Luoxi would like.
