Seeing Pei Yan standing there, the clerk came up to him warmly.

Between the iPad and the computer, Pei Yan finally chose the computer because it was more practical.

He had heard before that the configuration of the new computers released by this brand this year seemed to be good.

"I'd like to see your latest notebook."

As soon as Pei Yan stated his request, the other party began to recommend it with great effort.

"This is our new product," the clerk said, pointing to a prototype on the table next to him. "We have two versions of this laptop: 14-inch and 16-inch. The 16-inch model has the highest resolution of any laptop in our lineup. It uses a Liquid Retina display, so you don't have to worry about clarity."

"We've also upgraded the sound processing on this laptop, with a built-in studio-grade microphone. The 16-inch model has better heat dissipation than the 14-inch model. Furthermore, if you have your own needs, we can also customize the configuration."

Pei Yan listened to the clerk's introduction, tried it out on the prototype, and then told the clerk his configuration requirements.

The clerk was delighted when he heard Pei Yan's request.

The starting price of the machine Pei Yan bought was more than 20,000 yuan. With the customized configuration and the purchase of some accessories, the total cost was more than 30,000 yuan.

This is a rare big order.

The clerk's attitude became more polite: "Then I'll arrange it for you now. How do you want to pay? We can now enjoy 12 or 24 interest-free installments."

"No need, just swipe the card." This amount of money might be a considerable sum for others, but it is really nothing to Pei Yan.

——

When Pei Yan came out of the mall, the game outside had already ended.

Just like that, he and Qiao Ran missed each other perfectly.

Pei Yan glanced at the time and had no idea what Qiao Ran was doing at this moment. He was probably either studying other people's game videos or practicing on his own.

Pei Yan sighed and decided to take the initiative again.

Qiao Ran had just sent Moran to the taxi when his phone in his pocket vibrated and he received a message from Pei Yan.

Y: What are you doing? Do you want to go out for dinner?

Qiao Ran tried to evade the issue between them yesterday and brought it up today. He has already given her almost a day. This reminder should be quite obvious, right?

Qiao Ran looked at the message he received, licked his lips, slung the shopping bag he was carrying over his arm, and replied to the message with difficulty.

The assistant also kills randomly: Send me the address, I happen to be outside.

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows when he saw Qiao Ran's reply.

Qiao Ran is actually outside? This is not like her.

After a while, Qiao Ran received the location sent by Pei Yan.

It is a Sichuan restaurant not far from where she is now, about ten minutes' walk away.

When Qiao Ran appeared with bags in his hands, Pei Yan was sitting at the door waiting for a seat.

I've been thinking about the competition all the time and I forgot that today is Christmas Eve.

During this kind of festival that young people are keen on, if you don’t make a reservation in advance at any restaurant with a good reputation, you will have to wait.

"Team..." Qiao Ran said, but when he looked at the other people waiting for their turn, he was afraid of being discovered and becoming a hot topic again. He immediately changed his words, "Sorry, I'm late."

Pei Yan looked at the time he sent the message: "It hasn't even been ten minutes since I sent the location."

Qiao Ran didn't want to keep Pei Yan waiting for a long time, so he jogged all the way here. Now he was wrapped in a hat and mask, and he was breathing hard.

"Why are you running so fast?"

There were no empty seats around, so Pei Yan stood up and gave his seat to Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran's hands were sore from carrying things, so he didn't bother to be polite with Pei Yan.

Pei Yan looked at Qiao Ran. He was obviously very thin, but he looked plump.

This outfit is rustic yet cute, making people want to touch it.

This is what Pei Yan thought and did.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

Qiao Ran watched as Pei Yan's evil hand fell on his head, and the hood attached to his down jacket was rubbed several times by him.

"I checked the weather forecast before going out. It said it would get colder today." Qiao Ran straightened the messed up fur on the edge of his hat.

Pei Yan noticed Qiao Ran's bags and asked, "Did you buy so many things?"

It seems like the prize money from the competition and the club hasn't arrived yet. Qiao Ran has always been frugal, but this time...

"Ah..." Qiao Ran lifted the bag in his hand, "These are gifts for everyone. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."

"They took care of you? I didn't take care of you?" Pei Yan glanced at the bag, not knowing whether he was in it.

I hope that this heartless Qiao Ran didn't miss him, otherwise he would...

It seems that there is nothing he can do.

"I took care of it." Qiao Ran answered in a low voice.

"So, is there a share for me?"

Qiao Ran nodded: "Yes."

When Pei Yan heard this, he felt relieved instantly.

Qiao Ran also noticed what Pei Yan was holding: "Manager Jiang said you came out to buy gifts for everyone?"

"Well, otherwise they would make trouble again."

"oh."

Qiao Ran didn't know what to say next. It seemed like she had unknowingly ended the conversation.

"You have a share too." Pei Yan said.

"And mine?" Qiao Ran seemed surprised.

"Of course, even if they didn't, I promised you before." Pei Yan looked at Qiao Ran like this, probably not taking his words to heart. Then he sighed and pretended to be resentful, "Hey... I am a man of my words."

Qiao Ran heard the hidden meaning in Pei Yan's words and muttered softly, "I didn't go back on my word..."

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

After about half an hour, it was finally their turn.

The two of them were located in a corner where no one would notice them, which was perfect for conversation.

"See what you like to eat." Pei Yan handed the menu to Qiao Ran.

After eating hotpot several times, Pei Yan discovered that Qiao Ran loved spicy food, so he deliberately chose a Sichuan restaurant with a high rating, hoping that he would not disappoint.

"I'm not picky about food, it's up to you to decide."

Qiao Ran has trouble choosing when ordering food. When he sees something with a nice picture or a nice name, he finds it hard to decide and just wants to order them all.

It was not a wise choice to let her order the food.

Pei Yan saw Qiao Ran's embarrassment, so he didn't insist anymore. He ordered some special dishes and asked the waiter to take the order.

The dishes had not yet been served, but Qiao Ran and Pei Yan were still sitting opposite each other.

Qiao Ran felt that now might be a good opportunity to speak up.

She pulled down her mask and took a few sips of the lemonade in front of her to moisten her throat and suppress her nervousness.

"Um... I have something to tell you..."

Pei Yan paused as he picked up the water cup, and looked at Qiao Ran with a complicated look.

Qiao Ran's hesitant look made him feel for no reason that he was forcing a decent woman to do something bad.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to." Pei Yan smiled lightly, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere.

Qiao Ran's palms were full of sweat at this moment. She wiped them on her clothes without any care, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"There's nothing I can't say." This sentence sounds more like he's trying to convince himself.
