Xu Ye has a pair of exceptionally beautiful phoenix eyes. The narrow corners of his eyes have a slight upward curve, which makes his eyes even more stunning. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and it would be hard for someone with such eyes not to be incredibly handsome.

After hearing Xu Moran's question, those extremely beautiful eyes stared straight at Xu Moran.

Just as Xu Moran was about to get up to open the door, the owner of those eyes laughed and said, "Ranran, you reminded me. If we ever go hungry, I'll become a tout to earn money to support you."

Xu Moran was speechless for a moment, then gave him a slight smile and said, "Oh, I see. Well, thank you in advance."

Xu Ye pretended not to notice the hidden meaning in Xu Moran's words, and smiled, revealing her clean and neat teeth, "My dear Ranran, you're welcome."

Xu Moran was completely speechless. The doorbell rang again, and the delivery driver's impatient voice sounded outside the door once more, "I heard someone talking inside. Open the door quickly, it's getting late, I need to rush home for dinner after this delivery."

Xu Moran glared at Xu Ye again before turning and walking toward the door. Just as she turned around, she heard Xu Ye calling her from behind. Thinking something had happened again, she turned around and opened her mouth. Before she could react, something had already been stuffed into her mouth.

Soon, she realized that what Xu Ye had put into her mouth was a shrimp that he had just peeled.

The shrimp now appearing in her mouth was not only shelled, but also dipped in sauce—not the kind you buy for seafood, but a sauce Xu Ye made herself.

As for the taste?

Okay, this is definitely beyond Xu Moran's imagination.

Xu Moran suddenly realized that the man she had picked up was alright, aside from being a bit particular and spending money.

As soon as he opened the door, the printer delivery guy was standing there. He was already full of complaints about delivering so late, and seeing the sauce on Xu Moran's lips and thinking about how hungry he was, he became even more annoyed. "Hurry up and sign for it and pay the balance. You've all had dinner, and I'm still starving."

As Xu Moran took out the card, he asked the deliveryman, "How much more do I need to pay?"

The deliveryman announced a number, and even though Xu Moran was mentally prepared and had already received the appliances that had been delivered before, he was still taken aback. His voice suddenly rose, "This printer costs eight thousand?"

Xu Moran asked back, as if he had misheard.

The deliveryman said impatiently, "It's eight thousand, and that's after our boss is in a good mood and we've given you a discount. The original price was over ten thousand."

Xu Moran saw her hand trembling as she handed over the card. Eight thousand yuan! To buy a printer that she felt she didn't need at the moment—how could she not feel the pinch?

As the deliveryman pulled the card from the handheld POS machine, he added, "I almost forgot to remind you, there's an extra 2% transaction fee for card payments."

Xu Moran rubbed his forehead, and said with a sigh, "Take it."

You've already paid eight thousand, why would you care about a two-point handling fee?!

Although the delivery guy seemed really annoyed, his service was generally good. After swiping his card, he took out shoe covers to put on his shoes and offered to help Xu Moran carry the printer into the house.

Xu Moran didn't accept his attentive service. Instead, she reached out and moved the printer. An 8,000 yuan printer certainly wasn't top-of-the-line, but that depended on who was using it. For her, it was already a luxury.

She wanted to experience luxury firsthand to motivate herself; if she couldn't generate more income, she would have to be twice as frugal from this moment on.

After placing the printer next to the computer, Xu Moran went to the kitchen to wash her hands, then sat down at the dining table. She didn't look at Xu Ye once or say a word to him the entire time.

Spending so much money in such a short time, much of it unnecessary, was indeed a bit infuriating for her, who is usually very frugal.

Xu Ye seemed to realize he was wrong and took Xu Moran's hand. "Ranran, don't be angry anymore. You'll soon find out why I bought this printer."

Xu Moran shook off his hand, raised her eyes, and looked into his eyes seriously and earnestly, "In the future, can we postpone buying things that aren't urgently needed?"

Xu Ye didn't know that Xu Moran had always had a small dream: to save enough for a down payment as soon as possible and own a home that truly belonged to her.

Meeting Xu Ye made her realize that no matter how carefully she budgeted, it couldn't outsmart a spendthrift. Xu Ye definitely wouldn't leave anytime soon, so she had to quickly remind him not to waste money anymore.
