As soon as the two arrived downstairs, all eyes turned to them, followed by a chorus of gasps as the girls looked on with sparkling eyes at the store's employees.

"Can we also make such a successful modification?"

"Can you? Can you? I can pay any amount."

"Which Tony is that? I want his girlfriend."

Ji Hai, the only one who was free, was immediately surrounded by girls who pulled him aside and asked him all sorts of questions. His 1.8-meter height lost all its intimidating power at this moment. He hurriedly looked towards the stairs and saw the two of them walking side by side toward the door.

The dark-haired youth would occasionally smile at the girls who asked him questions, then shake his head and refuse each girl's request, gentle and gentlemanly yet ruthless.

The red-haired youth maintained a cold expression, his refined features calmly facing only the doorway, refusing to engage in conversation with anyone who tried to strike up a conversation.

"Brother Li!" Ji Hai called out to the person walking towards the door, trying to distract the girl and also begging his Brother Li to save him.

When Gu Li heard the first word, his gaze became even more determined, and he took a faster and bigger step towards the door. When he was just an arm's length away from the doorknob, Gu Li mercifully turned around and showed Ji Hai, who was surrounded, his first expression of the journey. He said with a smile, "It's all thanks to you, Hai. Keep it up."

The devil's whisper echoed, and Ji Hai desperately lowered his hand in pleading. He watched as his brother Li, with a seductive smile, closed the shop door with the exceptionally handsome Jiang Xu. The girls' gazes towards him grew even more intense; his transformation into beauty was imminent.

How can there be such a capricious boss? How can a boss have such a devilish friend? How can he be such a miserable worker?

After walking a few steps with Jiang Xu, Gu Li pointed to the ostentatious Maserati parked by the roadside and asked, "For you?"

Jiang Xu looked at the striking fluorescent green, shook his head with a polite smile, and said, "No, I have other things to do and we probably won't be going that way."

Gu Li: "Why isn't it on the way?"

Jiang Xu: "It's just not on the way."

"Oh," Gu Li turned on the car key, the headlights flashed a few times, and the color of the money attracted the eyes of passersby. "As expected, your taste is terrible."

"How come it's true?" Jiang Xu didn't quite believe his aesthetic sense was bad.

"What those people in the store said is quite right, but there's room for improvement." Gu Li stood by the car with her arms crossed.

Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Then I think you're quite good-looking. Do I really have a problem with my taste?"

Gu Li: "Congratulations."

Jiang Xu: "Huh? Shouldn't I be congratulating you?"

Gu Li said, "No, congratulations on reaching the pinnacle of aesthetics in an instant." Then she looked at Jiang Xu with some confusion, "I'm just not bad? Then you're not bad either."

"No, I misspoke. You're incredibly handsome, the most handsome man in the universe. I've never seen anyone more handsome," Jiang Xu said jokingly.

“Yes,” Gu Li nodded in satisfaction, “you too.”

"Thank you," Jiang Xu replied without hesitation. "Then, could this handsome guy tell me how much money is appropriate to transfer to your handsome friend?"

Gu Li frowned and looked at Jiang Xu, "You've really stumped me. Let me think about it."

The two stood there staring at each other for about 10 seconds, neither of them looking away.

Gu Li: "Why are you staring at me?"

Jiang Xu: "I'll watch whatever you watch."

Gu Li blinked. "I think my taste is absolutely amazing, isn't it? And yours too?"

"Yes, me too." Jiang Xu also crossed his arms and moved from a face-to-face position to shoulder to shoulder. "Have you thought it through?"

Gu Li turned her head to look at the person standing next to her, raised the hand that was closest to her, and clearly showed her five fingers.

Jiang Xu looked at it and thought for a moment, "Five hundred?"

Gu Li shook her head.

Jiang Xu, "Five thousand?"

Gu Li shook her head.

Jiang Xu, "Fifty thousand?"

Gu Li shook her head again.

Jiang Xu: "Artists really don't come cheap. Give me his bank account number for 500,000."

Gu Li: "No."

Jiang Xu frowned. Changing his hairstyle was a big loss for him. "Why don't you just have him put my bangs back on?"

“Five cents,” Gu Li laughed, a hint of malice in his eyes, “Give me cash, and I’ll use it to inspire artists.”

“You guys,” Jiang Xu paused and continued, “you’ve never seen anything like this before, but I actually have one.” As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a 50-cent bill. Jiang Xu hadn’t expected to find a bill inside Jiang Xu’s clothes when he first put them on, and he certainly hadn’t expected it to come in handy. He was lucky he hadn’t taken it out.

Gu Li was visibly taken aback for a moment, then accepted the gift with a calm expression, saying, "I thank you on his behalf."

"Don't mention it, it's my pleasure."

Gu Li said, "Didn't you say you had something to do?" Why aren't you leaving yet? You've been playing an awkward game and someone's picked you up. Gu Li is now completely embarrassed.

Jiang Xu could tell that being considerate was a good habit, but he clearly didn't think so now. "We're so close, I'll go with you to give it to him. It won't make a difference if it's just a few minutes."

Gu Li said, "It's bad, it's bad. Sometimes success or failure depends on just a moment. You should go now."

Jiang Xu, "Really not..."

Gu Li looked directly at him. "Come on, come on, since you want to go, let's go." After saying that, she stuffed the banknote into Jiang Xu's hand. "Here, I'll watch you give it to him."

“Don’t give it to him,” Jiang Xu put the banknote into the breast pocket of Gu Li’s coat, “I’ll save it for you to buy candy.”

Gu Li felt it was best to skip this topic and didn't dwell on the final outcome of the money. "Really not on the way?"

Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the glaring color again, and nodded firmly, "Authentic."

This time, Jiang Xu's reputation unexpectedly failed to be preserved by Gu Li.

The barbershop wasn't far from the school, and when Jiang Xu arrived, he wasn't late at all; in fact, he was a few minutes earlier than usual.

He walked into the classroom and sat in the last row, scanning the students in front of him one by one. His mind was calm and undisturbed, and he no longer felt the stinging sensation.

Since he woke up, the only thing that triggered his memories was seeing the black-rimmed glasses; nothing else.

The lingering sensations in her body reacted to Gu Li, but still didn't trigger any memories. What exactly was the trigger?

Jiang Xu looked away. He chose a seat by the window, and when there was no reaction, he didn't bother to look any further. He turned his gaze to the window and saw the person he had just said goodbye to not long ago.

The red hair shone brightly in the sunlight, revealing only the top of the head, but Jiang Xu would never mistake her for someone else, especially for her clothes and, more importantly, her arrogant yet aloof demeanor.

What a coincidence, we even go to the same school.

Jiang Xu was in a good mood as he looked at the top of the head until the person disappeared from his sight. He sat up straighter but still couldn't see them, so he looked at the flowers and plants.

The originally refreshing and delightful summer scenery has become a bit boring.
