After leaving the studio, Chu Fang took Zhong Tingyue to the most luxurious shopping mall in Shanghai.
Upon entering, he went straight to the luxury goods store.
"How may I help you, sir?" The sales assistant bowed slightly.
"Stockings, high heels, gold-rimmed glasses, I want them all," Chu Fang said rather arrogantly.
Zhong Tingyue covered her face, feeling utterly humiliated.
"What, you feel ashamed?" Chu Fang glanced at him.
“No.” Zhong Tingyue silently put on her mask. “I’m not familiar with you.”
Chu Fang: "I know you well."
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
The sales assistant found the good-looking couple quite amusing; one was a social butterfly, the other a social phobia.
The sales assistant then led Chu Fang and his companion into the store, directly to the women's section.
This place is a gathering place for many girls, all chatting about women's topics.
To Zhong Tingyue's dismay, her fiancé seemed to have fallen seriously ill, blending into the group of women and skillfully chatting with many of them about women's topics.
For example, when asked what kind of stockings are most alluring, Chu Fang answered: black.
Why?
He then explained the underlying principles from multiple perspectives: psychological, cultural, aesthetic, fashion, and personal expression.
Chu Fang spoke eloquently and logically.
This surprised all the girls present.
"How do you know so much about handsome guys?"
He replied casually, "The person who knows you best is often your enemy."
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
She couldn't stand Chu Fang's rambling anymore, so she found a seat and sat down, watching her fiancé stir up trouble among the many girls.
"Is that your boyfriend?" a beautiful woman sitting next to her asked softly.
Zhong Tingyue replied, "Fiancé."
"That's very interesting," the beautiful woman said with a faint smile.
"Sometimes it's quite speechless."
“Speechlessness is temporary, but humor lasts a lifetime,” the beautiful woman said. “Unlike my husband, who has the desire to steal but not the courage, I had to bring him to this place myself.”
Zhong Tingyue glanced at the woman's boyfriend, a faint blush creeping onto her youthful face.
The beautiful woman nudged her boyfriend: "You should learn from her."
"No," the young man said softly.
"If you don't know how, you should learn," the beautiful woman said. "Go and learn more from that handsome guy."
Urged on by his girlfriend, the inexperienced man walked up to Chu Fang and heard Chu Fang discussing bras and bikinis with a group of girls.
Chu Fang received admiring glances from the girls present and was quite pleased with himself: "Handsome, am I right?"
The inexperienced young man: "Huh?"
As the sun set, Zhong Tingyue checked the time. Chu Fang had been discussing female reproductive health products with many girls for half an hour, and a large number of girls had gathered around them.
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
She was truly speechless.
Don't you consider yourself a man?
She messaged Chu Fang, signaling him to buy it quickly and leave afterward.
Upon seeing the message, Chu Fang realized how fleeting time is and how happy moments are always short-lived. She stopped chatting, bought her most prized gold-rimmed glasses, black stockings, and high heels, and then left the women-only area.
"You're so damn awesome, handsome!" The beautiful woman just now gave Chu Fang a thumbs up. "How come you're so cultured?"
The beautiful woman listened with rapt attention.
Chu Fang said with considerable pride, "This is all thanks to... my daily accumulation of knowledge."
"sharp!"
"hey-hey... ..."
The sales assistant also felt that Chu Fang was incredibly capable.
Many men who accompany their female companions to women's product stores feel awkward and conflicted.
But Chu Fang was different. He felt as relaxed as if he were coming home, and they chatted about all sorts of open-ended topics.
On the contrary, Zhong Tingyue seemed awkward.
Upon arriving at the counter, the sales assistant said, "It's 123,670 yuan in total, I'll charge you 120,000."
This is the most upscale shopping mall in Shanghai, so its prices are naturally high. Zhong Tingyue was prepared and was ready to swipe her card to pay.
Chu Fang stopped her: "Ms. Zhong, what's wrong?"
"I'll pay by card."
Why should you pay for what I enjoy?
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue's pretty face flushed crimson. She glared at Chu Fang, never expecting him to utter such lewd words in broad daylight.
In the end, Chu Fang swiped his card to pay the bill, while Zhong Tingyue quickly pulled her shameless fiancé away from the place.
... ...
"Amazing!" The beautiful woman said, linking her arm with her boyfriend's as she watched Chu Fang and his companion's retreating figures.
Boyfriend: "What's so great about that?"
"Are you sure you can do it?" The beautiful woman glanced at her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend answered bluntly, "I can't."
"Tch~~~" The beautiful woman scoffed and pulled her boyfriend away from the spot.
The boyfriend stopped in his tracks: "Are we... just going to leave like this?"
Why aren't you leaving?
"You haven't bought stockings yet?"
The beautiful woman suddenly laughed: "You men are all hypocritical. You clearly want something, but you pretend you don't care. Look at that handsome guy just now, he wears his heart on his sleeve, so open and honest, so generous, isn't that great?"
"How can we talk about that in public?" the boyfriend said, his lips twitching.
"Then I won't buy it."
"No, we've already agreed."
"If you want to buy it, you go buy it. I'm not going."
The boyfriend hesitated for less than a second before turning around and heading back into the store.
A man's instincts told him that losing face was acceptable, but not being able to go without stockings was absolutely unacceptable.
... ...
By the time Chu and Fang finished buying the items, night had fallen and the city lights were just coming on.
In preparation for tonight's grand event, he decided to have a good meal.
As the old saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."
He needs to fill his stomach first.
"Come on, buddy, I'll take you to a private restaurant." Chu Fang took Zhong Tingyue's delicate hand.
Is it far?
"It's nearby."
"become."
The private restaurant was located near the Bund in Shanghai. When the waiter at the door saw Chu Fang, he quickly came over and said, "Mr. Chu."
The waiter then led Chu Fang and his companion into the store. Zhong Tingyue looked around and remarked, "This place has a nice environment."
Located in a prime location, the restaurant boasts a quiet and stylish ambiance, a masterpiece by a master chef.
"Nonsense, it's ridiculously expensive," Chu Fang replied.
The two sat down, and Chu Fang picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. Zhong Tingyue looked at the prices; a small dish cost 3999 yuan.
How is this any different from robbery?
A short while later, the dishes were served. Zhong Tingyue took a bite and then nodded.
Indeed, expensive things have only one drawback: they are expensive.
A simple stir-fried vegetable dish has a unique flavor.
You must give us an explanation!
Just as Chu Fang was eating, a familiar and loud voice reached his ears.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw my old classmate, Cen You, and his girlfriend talking to the waiter, looking somewhat excited.
