Does it look good?
To be fair, it looks great.
The crystal clear water, the whole piece of imperial green, flashed light below his collarbone, making the skin on his neck look whiter, how could it not look good.
At the same time, the price must be very attractive.
Besides, Lu Tingxiao came to apologize with this peace amulet, but he had no intention of forgiving him yet!
"No more..." Ling Shi stretched out his hand, put it behind his neck, and tried to unbuckle it.
But her hand was gently grasped by Lu Tingxiao, and the voice in her ear was three parts gentle and two parts domineering: "Who asked you if you want it? I asked you if you look good."
The whisper penetrated Ling Shi's ears, tickling him and making him shiver. He couldn't help but nod: "Yeah, it looks good. But..."
"How should I pay?" Lu Tingxiao asked the salesperson.
The salesperson stared at Ling Shi, his eyes fixed on him. The beautiful jade complemented him perfectly, making him look even brighter. Fortunately, this top-rated salesperson was very professional. Upon hearing Lu Tingxiao's question, she immediately came to her senses. "Ah, the boss has already told us that for friends from China, the 10,000 yuan free allowance will be deducted directly from the purchase amount. The remaining amount can be paid through your international account."
"Okay." Lu Tingxiao said, "Please pay."
Before Ling Shi could stop him, the salesperson had already made the bill as quickly as possible and handed over the fingerprint scanner for payment.
Didi.
Lu Tingxiao pressed his fingerprint.
The whole process took no more than a minute.
The salesperson's professional level is too high!
Before Ling Shi could even open his mouth, Chu Yi, radiant with gold, ran over. "Wow! Captain Ling! Beautiful! Stunning! I never thought there would be someone on our White Eagle team whose taste in jewelry rivals mine!"
Ling Shi glanced at the curly gold necklace around his neck and his face twitched uncontrollably.
Just then, Makino came over, guitar in hand. Seeing the blingbling around Chu Yi's neck, he gave a thumbs-up with a look of disdain. Then, seeing the imperial green jadeite around Ling Shi's neck, his eyes widened. "Wow, this jade... is of such quality."
Ling Shi suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. In his twenty-three years of life, he had never worn anything around his neck except a red scarf, let alone being praised in person like this.
"I still..." He just stretched his hand to the back of his neck when he was stopped by Muye: "Captain Ling, what are you doing? You want to pick this kind of jade? You will be struck by lightning."
"Who said he was going to take it off?" Lu Tingxiao reached out and calmly pushed Mu Ye's hand away, gently adjusting the position of the lock: "He just wanted to adjust it a little. How could he take off the jade he just bought? Is that right, Captain Ling?"
Ling Shi glanced at him, and the MMP in his heart rushed out towards Lu Tingxiao.
Lu Tingxiao was so sure that he didn't dare reveal the fact that he paid for it that he used this trick to threaten him.
Whatever. Just wear it.
Although I'm a little uncomfortable with it, this jade is really beautiful.
And... for some reason, Lu Tingxiao spent a lot of money, and he felt inexplicably... pretty good about it.
...never mind, it seems he knows he's wrong, and his apology is sincere enough...
Forgive him.
Several people walked towards the escalator with their booty full of loot.
Arriving at the elevator, Chu Yi waved to them: "Two captains, my shopping trip has just begun, let's say goodbye here."
Just getting started?
Ling Shi showed a look of astonishment.
Makino, on the other hand, had an expression of "as expected," and waved to the two captains without any surprise: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."
So, two people went up and two people went down.
As the escalator moved, Ling Shi couldn't help but touch the jade on his chest. It felt icy and smooth, and his affection for it grew little by little.
Sizzle~Sizzle~
Suddenly, there was a snow-like noise in my ears.
On the wall pillar opposite the bottom of the escalator, the large screen that was originally playing advertisements flashed, and suddenly a news anchor appeared.
"Now, the latest news. According to a report from a West District resident, his only son, only nineteen years old, ran away from home last night and has been missing. The resident reported that the child has a red mole the size of an egg on his left cheek. If any kind-hearted citizens have discovered it, please notify the nearest police station immediately."
"So far, this is the 23rd case of runaways in the West District within a week. Citizens are urged to provide emotional support to family members, especially teenagers, to prevent such cases from happening again..."
Within a week?
Twenty-three?
Are there too many cases of runaways?
The escalator slowly reached the bottom.
Green was standing not far away waiting for them.
Ling Shi couldn't help but ask, "Colonel Green, what's going on with this runaway case?"
Green's face also showed a trace of worry. "Hey, ever since you guys arrived, I've only reported good news and not bad news. But the truth is, how could the apocalypse not affect us?"
"Since learning that all the countries outside had fallen, the emotions of many citizens have been amplified. Some unstable young people, in particular, have said they no longer see the meaning of living in the city and want to seek the true meaning of life in the mountains and forests."
"Ah," he shook his head. "I really don't know what these young people are thinking. They don't value the precious situation that Australia and America have achieved with great difficulty."
"That's not all," Green began, then couldn't help but rant. "Besides these runaways, the incidence of missing persons is also rising. Some criminals, fearing the end of the world, are taking risks and committing crimes... The pressure on the Australian and American police departments right now is unprecedented."
The news broadcast on the screen ended, and the screen flickered, returning to the original skincare product advertisement. A stunningly beautiful actress showed off her flawless skin, her charming face, and pleasant background music, as if the world was still perfect.
After a while, Muye and Chu Yi came down the escalator.
Both of them had nothing in their hands; even Makino's guitar was missing.
Before Ling Shi could ask, Muye interrupted, "Chu Yi cleared out three cases of men's clothing and half a case of perfume, which alerted the mall manager. He offered to help us deliver all the goods to the hotel, so we don't have to move them ourselves."
Three... containers...
Ling Shi was stunned for three seconds before slowly giving a thumbs-up.
At this time, the other members of the White Eagle team also came back.
Peng Gaoxuan and Yi Yan bought a bunch of snacks and pastries, while Ma Minghong and Qiu Bao brought several boxes of braised pork elbows and ribs from the underground supermarket.
When they learned that there would be someone to help them deliver the purchased items, Ma Minghong and others cheered.
Qiu Bao went up and hugged Chu Yi tightly for five seconds, but was knocked away by the latter's elbow.
"Everyone's gained a lot." Green said with a smile: "Are you tired? If not, let's move on to the next game?"
"Okay!" Zuo Hao had already changed into one of his flowery shorts and raised his hand, saying, "I want to go to the amusement park, I want to ride the roller coaster! I want to go bungee jumping!"
Only then did others notice his attire.
Makino tried to hold back, but couldn't help it: "Your pants..."
Zuo Hao looked down and said, "Oh, I originally wanted to buy it to wear to the beach. But then I thought, when can I go to the beach? There's no sign of it. So I might as well wear it now. How is it? Does it look good? Team Lu said it looks very nice."
When Muye turned his confused eyes to Lu Tingxiao, Ling Shi quickly lowered his head, fearing that he would not be able to hold back his laughter.
Green came to the rescue in time. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the amusement park!"
Everyone went to the amusement park excitedly, rode the roller coaster excitedly, and rode the pendulum excitedly... After playing two projects, the members of the White Eagle team stood together and looked at each other, all of them were numb.
It's not the excitement that makes me numb, it's the boredom that makes me numb.
When others scream, they remain expressionless; when others are terrified, they remain expressionless; when others cry for their parents, they remain expressionless...
Zuo Hao, who suggested going to the amusement park, said, "Is it because... our physical fitness has evolved so much that this level of twisting and turning... is really not something we feel."
Chu Yi tugged at the newly bought "Xin Xin Xiang Rong" around his neck and said, "It's better to carry out the mission to be exciting. Otherwise, let's go quickly and find a gay group outside."
"Pah, pah, pah," Zuo Hao complained, "The amusement park isn't working, let's go somewhere else. It's such a great park, I haven't had enough fun yet. Where should we go next?"
He looked around, but no one spoke.
Ling Shi smiled and said, "You're always the first to suggest something. You can come up with the idea."
Zuo Hao thought about it and scratched his head: "How about... go to the bar?"
He chuckled and said, "I've unlocked a new place I've never been to."
Junzi looked at him as if he were an alien: "You... have lived for so many years, what have you been doing?"
Zuo Hao snorted angrily, "I used to work in the honorable profession of children's education. Why would I go to a bar? Humph, you dissolute playboys don't understand even if I tell you."
Ling Shi smiled: "Isn't it because you don't have a girlfriend?"
Zuo Hao's face flushed red, and he put his arm around Green's shoulders: "Colonel, let's go, ignore them."
Everyone laughed.
When they arrived at a bar that Colonel Green strongly recommended, a young singer was singing an English song on the stage.
He has short, slightly curly golden hair that looks very soft, and a clear voice, just like his face, white and translucent, like a clear spring winding through the woods, which is very enjoyable.
"Wow, I've come to the right place." Zuo Hao sat down on the sofa in the booth where the waiter led him, his eyes half closed, shaking his head: "Not bad, not bad."
Everyone else sat down on the sofa, but Makino was the only one standing, facing the young singer. He listened with his eyes slightly narrowed and his head swaying slightly to the rhythm of the music.
"Yo," Chu Yi stroked the "Xin Xin Xiang Rong" on his neck, lying on his back with his legs spread out, "We've definitely come to the right place. Look, this guy Mu Ye is about to start getting coquettish."
Makino continued listening to the music and ignored him.
"Hey, Jason, you sing so well." A drunken middle-aged man suddenly rushed onto the stage, stumbled to his knees at the edge, and reached out to the young singer's feet. He spoke in halting English, "I really love listening to you sing. Why don't you trade places with me and sing for me alone? I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price."
Jason on the stage shrank his feet and took half a step back. What was rare was that he continued to sing the song without any pause.
"Your on-the-spot reaction is good." Makino praised, but he soon frowned.
The middle-aged man staggered to his feet and took two steps towards Jason, almost sticking to him.
Jason finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He put down the microphone and pleaded in English, "Mr. York, please go back to your seat. I'll toast you after this song is over."
Mr. York frowned in dissatisfaction and suddenly grabbed Jason's collar: "What are you waiting for? I want you to come with me now! Every time I ask you to go out, you make excuses. Are you afraid that I won't pay you?!" Then he pulled him off the stage.
The drunk man was quite strong and had no regard for etiquette, so he pulled Jason's face until it turned red and his clean white shirt was wrinkled.
Just as Ling Shi was about to stand up, he felt a weight on his legs. He saw Lu Tingxiao's hands pressing him tightly, and his tone was full of teasing as if he was enjoying a good show: "Why are you in such a hurry? There are people who are more anxious than you."
Makino strode quickly to the front of the stage. He grabbed Mr. York by the back of his collar and effortlessly lifted him up. Before he could curse, he spoke in Chinese, "Sir, how about I sing for you?"
In terms of appearance, Makino is better looking than Jason on the stage. He has black hair and black eyes, which are not common in Australia and America. He speaks Chinese, which gives him a hint of mystery from the Eastern world. Coupled with his bold military temperament, Mr. York couldn't take his eyes off him.
He chuckled insincerely, rubbed his hands, and replied in Chinese: "Okay, okay. Let me hear you sing."
Makino loosened his collar and beckoned him: "It's too noisy here, I'll go out and sing for you."
The way he hooked his fingers was a bit rebellious, three parts charming and five parts arrogant, which almost took Mr. York's soul away.
"Okay, okay." Mr. York opened his mouth slightly, looking anxious, and followed Makino out.
As they left, Zuo Hao became anxious first, not the others. "Hey," he looked at Jason on the stage, then at Makino and Mr. York behind him. "What should we do? Should we just listen to the music or just watch the fun?!"
