After slacking off all day and staying up half the night, Chen Lu finally packed his clothes and prepared to go shopping with Chen Mo at noon the next day.

While tidying up, he didn't forget to send a message to Liang Zhirou.

Chen Lu: Are you also going to work part-time at the Guomao Shopping Mall today? What time do you get off work? I need to talk to you about something.

Liang Zhirou: Huh? What do you want to say...?

Chen Lu: Now I know where I learned to say "Huh?" all the time. Anyway, it's a very important thing, and it has to be said face to face.

Liang Zhirou: I get off work at six o'clock.

Chen Lu: Then I'll come pick you up.

Liang Zhirou: Okay.

If you just spend a whole day shopping with Chen Mo, you can not only make your sister happy, but also find an easier part-time job for Liang Zhirou.

If Chen Mo spends more time studying every day, his parents will be happy.

Chen Lu felt that this deal was still worthwhile, since he could just stay at home reading books and playing games anyway.

The two then arrived at the Guomao Shopping Mall where Liang Zhirou worked part-time.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he never expected the mall to be so crowded during the holiday.

Fortunately, the air conditioning was on full blast.

Chen Mo held his arm, pulling him around as if he had inexhaustible strength.

Chen Lu was puzzled. How could a girl, a creature who couldn't even open a bottle cap, walk around for so long without feeling tired?

"Brother, I want fruit tea!"

"I'll buy it for you."

"Brother, I want to buy a dress later!"

"purchase."

"Buy me another necklace?" Chen Mo asked, stopping in front of the necklace counter, his eyes shining.

"Get lost. If you push your luck any further, I'll buy you a set of '53' practice books."

Chen Mo wasn't annoyed and continued with a mischievous grin, "Brother, you don't want your good friend to lose this job, do you?"

"How about this pearl necklace? I think it suits you quite well." Chen Lu pointed to the necklace in the display case, as if nothing had just happened.

"Not bad, not bad, you have good taste! Let's take it out and give it a try!"

......

Chen Mo continued shopping with the shopping bag containing the necklace, while Chen Lu looked like he was about to die.

He then realized the flaws in his plan.

This is a world where he is the only one who is hurt...

Chen Lu walked along half-dead, letting Chen Mo pull him around.

"Brother! Look over there!" Chen Mo's eyes lit up as he pointed into the distance.

There's a person dressed as a mascot over there handing out flyers. He's a little bear, and he walks with a wobbly gait.

Whenever someone takes a flyer, the little bear will bend down and give a slight bow.

They're quite cute.

"Go and take a look quickly."

"How old are you..." Chen Lu said, but still followed Chen Mo and walked in that direction.

As they approached, the little bear noticed them.

Seeing Chen Mo intimately linking arms with Chen Lu, Xiao Xiong, who had extended halfway with a flyer, suddenly stopped.

Fortunately, the guest was polite and took the initiative to reach out and take it.

Soon the brother and sister reached the bear cub.

"Hello! Can I have one?" Chen Mo asked excitedly, like a child, stroking the bear's arm repeatedly.

There was no response.

Chen Lu, who was looking down at his phone, looked up and found that the teddy bear had been staring at him.

Chen Lu tilted his head, feeling a little strange.

"Hello?" Chen Mo greeted again, wondering if it was impolite of him to touch the other person's arm.

As a girl, I just can't resist petting anything that's furry.

The little bear nodded quickly and handed over the flyer.

Chen Mo took the flyer and, seeing that the other party didn't say anything, joked, "What a cool and aloof bear."

Chen Lu suddenly remembered something.

Did Liang Zhirou say she was going to hand out flyers here today?

He had spent half a day exploring all the floors but hadn't seen Liang Zhirou.

"Sis, when is Mom coming back?" Chen Lu asked, his voice a few decibels louder than usual.

"Didn't we say the day after tomorrow? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"I almost forgot, let's go."

"Goodbye." Chen Mo waved goodbye to the cute little bear. Regardless of what the people inside looked like, girls are naturally drawn to anything cute.

Chen Lu glanced at the little bear, stepped forward and gently patted its head, then turned and left with Chen Mo.

Regardless of whether Liang Zhirou is in it or not, there's no harm in mentioning it.

What if, by any chance, Liang Zhirou really does have feelings for him and feels unhappy?

So he wanted to avoid it if possible; he didn't want to hurt this simpleton's feelings.

Soon, Chen Lu turned back from the other side and looked at the clumsy bear from a distance.

"Brother, why are you staring at this bear?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

Chen Lu remained standing there, expressionless, and said, "Thinking about something."

Chen Mo ignored him, found a chair to sit down and played on his phone while waiting for the movie to start.

The bear still stands there diligently, occasionally handing out flyers to passersby.

Unlike the people handing out flyers in front of various restaurants in the distance, this clumsy bear was very shy. After being rejected, it didn't chase after the person to give it to, but just stood there blankly, waiting for the next person to pass by.

Only for a few seconds when no one was passing by would the bear lean against the wall to rest for a moment.

Then, seeing someone walk by, it continued to move forward in a silly, adorable way.

It's highly likely that Liang Zhirou is in there.

Chen Lu knew very well that even though the mall had central air conditioning, it would still be stuffy and sweaty inside this mascot costume.
