Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Spending Day 17
Liu Yue said she wanted to waste this day, and she really did what she said and did not break her promise.
She stayed in bed until eleven o'clock in the morning, then ordered takeout for lunch.
After lunch, she sat at her desk and watched TV. From two o'clock in the afternoon, she started eating fruits, snacks, braised food and takeout desserts, and unknowingly skipped dinner.
"Just for today," Liu Yue consoled herself after finishing her meal. "It's okay to indulge once in a while. Starting tomorrow, I'll eat healthily and go jogging. Mondays are the beginning of a disciplined life!"
System: "This also means that if the host doesn't go running tomorrow, then he won't go for the next week."
Liu Yue: "...I will go tomorrow, I definitely will."
She hummed and opened her phone. "I know how I'm going to spend my money today. I'm going to buy some sports equipment. Shipping is so fast these days. I'll place the order tonight, and it'll arrive tomorrow morning, so I can use it tomorrow night."
First, she had to buy a pair of running shoes.
Liu Yue originally wanted to buy one pair, but after reading the guide, she felt that these shoes each had their own advantages and disadvantages, and netizens said that only they know whether the shoes are suitable for them, so she decided to buy a few more pairs to wear.
Only kids make choices; (rich) adults get to choose whatever they want! I'm moving out soon anyway, so even if I have a lot of shoes, I'll just be living in the dorm for a few days. There's definitely enough space at Deep Bay Sky City.
The second is a sports vest, which is also very important, and it should be quick-drying, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable to run;
Since I bought a vest, I can also arrange the matching quick-drying sports pants. Liu Yue also bought a running belt, otherwise she would have nowhere to put her phone and sundries. Seeing that others said that the antiperspirant belt is useful, she also bought two more...
Every time Liu Yue looks up a guide, a few more items are added to her shopping cart.
Finally, she also bought wrist guards, knee pads, sweat-absorbing socks, antiperspirant lotion, foam roller, fascia gun... If she didn't already have an Apple Watch, she would definitely buy a sports bracelet.
Liu Yue placed the order with satisfaction: "There shouldn't be anything missing now!"
The system complained that she was a poor student and had too many stationery items, but Liu Yue pretended not to hear.
By the way, she can’t just run around aimlessly. She also needs to become a member of a sports app and exercise in a planned and rhythmic manner following professional courses.
After buying these things, Liu Yue's money was almost gone. The biggest expense was actually the sneakers.
Although today's cashback is only 20%, it doesn't affect her good mood. 20,000 yuan is not a small amount. And yesterday's cashback ratio was very high. Luck is always equal.
Liu Yue was humming happily and preparing to take a shower when she suddenly saw the Balenciaga shoe box next to the wardrobe.
——The 3XL sneakers she bought before had only been tried on once and were still brand new.
Maybe because she rarely goes out, she accidentally forgot about the shoes she put here.
Liu Yue: ...
"These are casual sneakers," she rationalized. "I just bought running shoes, which are for a different purpose."
However, in order to prevent the shoes from getting dusty, Liu Yue placed them in a more conspicuous place.
Of course it looks good, and Liu Yue likes it too - after all, this pair of shoes costs more than 10,000 yuan.
Life is all about fighting for one's pride. If the system hadn't told her yesterday, Liu Yue might not have gone running. After all, her short-lived enthusiasm would disappear after a night.
But the system said so. If she really didn't go, wouldn't it be very embarrassing!
So, Liu Yue wrote her thesis during the day, received express deliveries, spent the 10,000 yuan she won on online shopping for Legos, washed and dried her sports suit, and was ready to go out for a run at 8 o'clock in the evening, full of energy.
Her self-disciplined life plan was perfect and she had successfully taken the first step, but her luck today was really bad.
When Liu Yue was halfway through running along the app, it started to drizzle.
She felt raindrops on her hair and immediately took out her phone to check the weather. After seeing the "rain getting heavier" notification, Liu Yue hurried back.
What a mistake! She brought so many running supplies but didn't consider the possibility of rain.
Moreover, the rain didn't just gradually get heavier; it suddenly escalated into a downpour, and the wind blew in at night. Liu Yue took off her headphones and felt that the background music at this time was "cold icy rain hitting my face randomly."
She wanted to run faster, but she couldn't move quickly, and it seemed the faster she ran, the more rain she would get wet; but she just walked back panting, and the mixture of rain and sweat was also uncomfortable.
"I'm so unlucky..." Liu Yue complained as she walked. Her eyes were searching and her mind was trying to recall where she could hide.
But her phone showed that the rain would continue for more than half an hour. Since her hair and clothes were already wet, it might be better to walk back to the dormitory so that she could take a quick shower and change into clean clothes.
"classmate--"
Liu Yue heard the call, but she wasn't sure if it was her.
When she turned around, she saw a boy walking towards her quickly with an umbrella. His umbrella was very large, and even if he shared half with Liu Yue, the space under the umbrella was not too crowded.
"It's raining so hard." The boy said, "I happened to have a big umbrella with me today. Let's go together."
Oh my God, Liu Yue was so touched. There are still many good people in this world.
She hurriedly thanked the boy, but was embarrassed to ask him to take a long detour. Only when she learned that he also lived in Qiaoyuan did Liu Yue feel relieved.
Upon further inquiry, she found out that he was her direct junior in the same major, what a coincidence.
When the boy sent her to the dormitory building, Liu Yue thanked him again.
"Thank you so much." Liu Yue said, "Let's add WeChat. I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"
As a Cantonese person who loves food the most, treating others to a meal is the highest level of social etiquette that Liu Yue can think of.
"You're too polite, Senior Sister." The boy declined at first, "We're just on the way."
"No, no, no, this is very important to me. I must feel uncomfortable coming back in the rain all the time."
Liu Yue invited him again, then suddenly thought of something: "...Does it feel inconvenient for you? Otherwise, I'll bring a friend, and you can bring a friend too. I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank you."
Under the lights of the dormitory building, her hair wet from the rain stuck to her cheeks. She looked very disheveled, but coupled with her sincere expression, she inexplicably looked very cute.
The boy smiled and said, "It's okay, Senior Sister. I'm free here."
He scanned the QR code and added Liu Yue. While waiting for the elevator, Liu Yue saw the verification message he sent. His name was Ji Zishuo.
Liu Yue sent her name and asked him what he liked to eat.
Since she's treating us to a meal, it must be outside the school. Anyway, she has a spending task of at least 10,000 yuan tomorrow.
Ji Zishuo: [Senior sister, it’s up to me.]
It's all right...it's all right, let's have hot pot. You can order any soup base and any side dish.
Liu Yue decided to go to Haidilao. She chose the one closest to the school and sent the location to Ji Zishuo.
When she returned to the dormitory, Liu Yue, whose hair was wet, was still cared for and comforted by her roommates.
"I'm fine," she said. "Luckily, there was a kind fellow student on the road who walked me back with an umbrella."
"Junior brother?"
Wen Huiyi caught the key words: "Is he handsome?"
Liu Yue thought about it for a moment. He was quite tall, and handsome...
"Not bad," she commented. "His features are quite regular, and most importantly, he's very kind. I didn't even tell him, but he took the initiative to chase me and send me back."
That means he is not very handsome, Wen Huiyi felt a little regretful.
However, "regular facial features" is already a good evaluation. After all, there are not so many handsome guys in real life, and many male celebrities look like that without makeup.
Liu Yue originally wanted to take a taxi with Ji Zishuo tomorrow, but she didn't expect him to say that he would drive her tomorrow.
Eh? He can actually drive!
...Yes, you can get a driver's license when you become an adult. In fact, she is the only one in her dormitory who can't drive.
Originally, Liu Yue was going to study during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, but...
She shook her head, collected her thoughts, and made an appointment with Ji Zishuo.
Liu Yue asked Wen Huiyi, "Do you want to eat hot pot with me tomorrow? You should be able to come out during lunch time."
"No, I'm very busy lately."
"Why do you seem so busy every day? Sometimes you even have to work online on weekends."
"I'm the Art Director after all," Wen Huiyi sighed. "Tencent has so many events year-round that I can't even count them all. I have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow."
"When I was little, I thought a job with frequent flights was so cool. Now that I've been sitting there until I vomited, I realize how tiring it is. The only benefit is that the mileage points are quite generous, which will save me money on future travel."
Working in a big company is indeed very hard...Alas, who would be willing to work there if they could just lie down and do nothing?
Liu Yue quickly took a shower and washed her hair.
After being bound to the spending system for so many days, her shampoo and shower gel have long been replaced with particularly good brands, and they were all picked out by Sang Yu for her. Apart from the price, there are no flaws.
While doing her nighttime skincare routine, Liu Yue told the system, "Although I didn't finish my run today, I'll continue tomorrow."
The system set off a firework for her, probably as an encouragement.
Liu Yue snorted, added this matter to her memo, and set a reminder for 6:30 in the evening.
Even though she is usually lazy and greedy, she can be self-disciplined when she wants to!
**
It's a new day, and Liu Yue's spending is still 10,000 yuan.
It's definitely enough to treat Ji Zishuo to a meal at Haidilao, and for the rest of the money... let's just look for places to spend money in the mall and surrounding areas.
She had deliberately changed into Balenciaga sneakers before going out, not for any other reason but to increase the use rate of these shoes. Thinking about their price, Liu Yue felt that they could not be left unused.
When she arrived at the exit of the living area, Liu Yue was surprised to find a sports car parked there.
That’s right, a sports car—a red convertible at that.
Liu Yue had no knowledge of luxury cars, and her knowledge of car logos was very limited. Seeing this red and black shield with a horse pattern in the middle, she was still wondering in her mind, what kind of car is this?
Before she could come up with an answer, Ji Zishuo came over.
He was wearing casual clothes and holding the car keys. After greeting Liu Yue, he walked around to the passenger seat and opened the door for her.
"Thank you." Liu Yue responded generously.
When Ji Zishuo sat in the driver's seat, she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of car is this?"
"Porsche 911, bought a few days ago."
Wow, a Porsche!
Liu Yue looked around curiously. "This is my first time riding in a Porsche, and also my first time riding in a two-seater sports car."
"Really? Then let me introduce you to Senior Sister."
Liu Yue originally thought that he would just say a few simple words, but before the car started, Ji Zishuo talked about the car's appearance, the engine, the interior, the taillights... In short, there was not a single word that Liu Yue could understand.
She gave an awkward yet polite smile and found a way to talk about something she could understand: "So how much is this car?"
Ji Zishuo paused and said, "Including various options and taxes, the final price is probably around two million."
"It's okay, not expensive."
When he said this, although he didn't deliberately show off, he still wanted to hear others' admiration. It was easy to get this kind of emotional value in school.
“It’s cheaper than I thought.”
But he heard Liu Yue say: "I thought luxury cars started at 5 or 6 million, but it turns out that 2 million can buy a Porsche."
Ji Zishuo: ...
He pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "An entry-level Porsche can be bought for 700,000 or 800,000 yuan. It's not as exaggerated as you think."
"You can buy it for less than one million."
Hearing this, Liu Yue's eyes lit up. Sports cars are so cool, she also wants to buy one. Although she can't drive...but she can learn!
Liu Yue enthusiastically talked to Ji Zishuo about how to buy a car. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Ji Zishuo said he would introduce her to some reliable salesmen.
Although buying a Porsche may require queuing and making a reservation, the system said that it would be valid as long as the contract was signed. Therefore, Liu Yue had no worries about money. As long as the system allowed her to draw one, she would buy it.
But Ji Zishuo reminded her of another point: buying a car requires registration, and Shenzhen license plates require a lottery.
After getting his driver's license, Ji Zishuo applied for a lottery, but ultimately bought the license plate through an auction. Liu Yue wasn't afraid of spending money, but she was afraid the system wouldn't pay her on the day of the auction.
Paying money to the system is work, so how could I possibly pay for it myself? Liu Yue just wanted to be a Pixiu who frantically exploited the system, only receiving cashback but not giving it away.
"That's so troublesome." Liu Yue scratched her head. "Then I'd better take a taxi. It's more convenient to be picked up by someone."
Ji Zishuo glanced at her and said meaningfully, "Senior sister, if you find a boyfriend who has a car, you won't have to take a taxi."
Liu Yue said without hesitation: "Of course it's more comfortable to take a taxi. The driver won't argue with me, nor will he abandon me on the side of the road. Relying on men? I wonder if they can be trusted."
"Uh—I'm not talking about you, Junior Brother. You're a good person."
Ji Zishuo: ...
He was shot at first and then given the good guy card. What else could he say?
He turned the steering wheel and asked, "It's okay. But Senior Sister, was your ex-boyfriend so excessive to you?"
"He's not my ex-boyfriend, he's the scumbag my friend met."
Liu Yue didn't intend to continue discussing this topic. Her eyes were looking at the scenery outside the car that was constantly receding.
The perspective from a convertible is indeed novel. When the car stopped at a traffic light, she turned back to chat with Ji Zishuo, but found that he was holding up his cell phone and pointing it at her.
Ji Zishuo: "I wanted to take a picture of you looking at the scenery from behind, but I didn't expect you to look back."
"Why did you pat the back of my head?" Liu Yue didn't understand.
"Senior Sister, have you read Bian Zhilin's poems?"
Ji Zishuo put down his phone and looked at her, "You are looking at the scenery, but someone is also looking at you."
Hmm? This...
Even though Liu Yue had never been in a relationship and had been criticized by many people for being careless, at this moment, she still noticed the signals sent by Ji Zishuo.
He wanted to pursue her—or, he wanted to seduce her?
The words used in the former seemed too romantic, while those used in the latter were too frivolous, but the feeling Ji Zishuo gave her was somewhere in between.
