Sun Xuemei had a simple idea. Liu Chao said he was trying to coax his girlfriend, and they were going to a crowded place like a shopping mall, and he also asked her to find a companion. What kind of accident could happen?

She just didn't believe that Liu Chao could do anything to her in broad daylight.

After readily agreeing, Liu Chao was very happy: "I knew it would be more reliable to ask you girls for this matter. I asked these guys before, and they told me to buy some pork or something and go directly to their house. If that were the case, Lan Xue would have thrown me out."

Sun Xuemei couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. It was indeed a bit inappropriate to bring pork to the door.

After finishing her meal and coming out of the cafeteria, Sun Xuemei originally wanted to find Sheng Anning and ask Sheng Anning to accompany her tomorrow. As a result, Sheng Anning asked for leave in the afternoon and tomorrow morning, saying that she was going to Dr. Zhou Keming's laboratory.

Because Sheng Anning had good grades and had performed two successful operations, the school leaders were very supportive of Sheng Anning's studies, so it was easy for her to ask for leave.

The school also hopes that after Sheng Anning gets a job, she can come to the school to teach part-time.

Sun Xuemei didn't find Sheng An Ning, and she didn't want to go shopping alone with Liu Chao tomorrow. Finally, after thinking about it, she found Xue Zhenzhen, who lived in the same dormitory with her.

Xue Zhenzhen was even more innocent. When she heard that they were buying things for Sun Xuemei's friend, she agreed without saying a word.

The next day at noon, Sun Xuemei took Xue Zhenzhen to the place where she had agreed to meet with Liu Chao.

Liu Chao rode over on his bicycle and saw that Sun Xuemei was accompanied by another person. He looked at her calmly and found that she was good-looking and had fair skin. He was very satisfied.

He said politely, "I'm sorry to bother you. Did you have lunch? How about we go eat together?"

Sun Xuemei quickly refused: "No, no, let's go shopping first. I will feel at ease after we buy something. Besides, I don't know if your partner likes the things we like."

Liu Chao nodded without thinking: "I'm sure you will like it. I'm sure your aesthetic taste is fine. Let's go."

Fortunately, Sun Xuemei also borrowed a bicycle from her classmates. She took Xue Zhenzhen and followed Liu Chao to the nearby People's Shopping Mall.

The mall has three floors in total. The counters on the first floor basically sell daily necessities and some supplementary foods, while the counters on the second floor sell knitwear and women's clothing.

Sun Xuemei held Xue Zhenzhen's hand and walked in front, looking at the dazzling women's clothing and various beautiful fabrics, feeling a little dazzled. They seldom went shopping because of their studies, and they bought their daily necessities at the school service center.

And they also know that things in the mall are very expensive and they cannot afford them.

At this moment, she was just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously.

Liu Chao put his hands in his trouser pockets and followed the two men lazily, looking them up and down again and again, feeling very proud. He didn't expect that something would be delivered to his door.

Sun Xuemei looked around before she remembered the important matter. She quickly pulled Xue Zhenzhen to pick out a gauze scarf. There were also people selling silk satin nearby. A small silk scarf actually cost more than ten yuan.

The two of them couldn't help but be amazed.

Xue Zhenzhen wanted to reach out and touch the silk scarf to feel what it felt like. It was so expensive. Before she even touched the scarf, the salesperson stopped her: "Are you going to buy it or not? If you don't want to buy it, don't touch it. Be careful not to damage it."

As he said this, he rolled his eyes, crossed his arms and looked at Sun Xuemei and Xue Zhenzhen with a pout.

Sun Xuemei was a little embarrassed. Although she couldn't afford it, the salesperson's look made her feel uncomfortable: "If we don't touch it, how can we know if it's worth the price?"

The salesperson looked at Sun Xuemei unhappily and said, "Look at your fingers, they are so rough. This is real silk. If you get a strand of it snagged, can you afford to pay for it?"

These words made Xue Zhenzhen blush. She had done rough labor in the countryside, so her palms were rough and her finger joints were a bit thick. They didn't look like a girl's hands.

Sun Xuemei was very angry and her face turned red as she tried to argue. But before she could open her mouth, Liu Chao stepped forward and said, "What do you mean? Who are you looking down on? Aren't you Gaogui also working at the counter here? You've been working at the counter for two days. Have you forgotten what your ancestors did?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke with a strong Beijing accent and carried the uncouth air of a young master from the capital.

The salesperson had been behind the counter for so many years that he knew that people like this should not be offended. He cleared his throat and his attitude became much better: "That's not what I meant. It's just that this scarf is very expensive. If you damage it, you will have to pay for it. I'm just reminding you kindly."

Liu Chao said, "Don't think I don't know. You are just looking down on others. How much is this scarf? Wrap it up for me. I'll buy it."

The salesperson was stunned for a moment. Even Sun Xuemei didn't expect Liu Chao to do this, so she quickly stopped him: "Brother, this scarf is too expensive. It costs more than ten yuan."

Liu Chao didn't care: "Just tell me if Lan Xue will like it, and if you girls will like it?"

Xue Zhenzhen blinked her eyes and said, "Of course I like it. It looks very high-end."

Sun Xuemei nodded. What girl wouldn’t like such a soft and beautiful scarf?

Liu Chao nodded: "That's all, if girls like it, we'll buy it."

Then he looked at the salesperson coldly and said, "Open the ticket, we bought it."

After checking out and buying the scarf, Liu Chao went to the manager to complain to the salesperson, and only then did he leave the mall feeling satisfied.

Sun Xuemei and Xue Zhenzhen's favorable impression of Liu Chao instantly increased a lot. After coming out, they took turns to thank him: "Thank you so much, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do just now."

Liu Chao waved his hands: "You are too polite. These people should not spoil her. Anyway, she will not be able to become a model worker this year."

After saying that, he looked at the silk scarf wrapped in oil paper in his hand and hesitated for a while: "Are you busy this afternoon? Would you like to do me another favor and help me deliver the silk scarf to Lan Xue and say a few more nice words for me. I'm afraid she's still angry and will throw things at me when she sees me."

As he said this, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Sun Xuemei hesitated and looked at Xue Zhenzhen.

Xue Zhenzhen didn't think so much: "Is your girlfriend's home far away? If we go there, what if she doesn't want to listen to our explanation?"

Liu Chao shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Lan Xue has a bad temper towards me, but she is very nice to others. She will definitely welcome you to visit."

Xue Zhenzhen thought about how Liu Chao had just helped her out, so she pulled Sun Xuemei's arm and said, "Why don't we just help them? We don't have classes in the afternoon anyway."

Sun Xuemei couldn't refuse, so she and Xue Zhenzhen followed Liu Chao to his girlfriend Lan Xue's home.

…

Sheng Anning was still studying the corpse of the poisonous insect in Zhou Keming's laboratory. He had originally planned to cut it up, but Zhou Keming felt that the environment was not up to standard. If there were live bacteria inside, it would be very dangerous if it spread.

The dissection must be performed in a space where germs cannot survive.

Sheng An Ning could never have imagined that Sun Xuemei and Xue Zhenzhen would disappear just because she didn't go to school for one day...
