Lu Guozhi borrowed a bicycle from Lu Zhengyi's house, and together with Lu Qingyuan, he sent Lu Shishen and Yang Niannian into the city.

The dirt road in the countryside was bumpy. Although Lu Shishen had tied some straw on the back seat, Yang Niannian's butt was still hurting. Then she looked at Lu Guozhi sitting in the back seat of Lu Qingyuan and found it a little funny.

Fortunately, Lu Shishen had strong legs and could ride fast, so it didn't take too long for him to reach the edge of the city. After switching to the asphalt road, the ride was less bumpy.

After arriving in the city, Lu Guozhi gave a few more instructions and then he and Lu Qingyuan rode back on their bicycles.

"Why don't we go directly to the area near the train station?" Yang Niannian was not very familiar with the city, but she had been here twice and knew that it was still far from the train station.

Lu Shishen explained, "The train station is crowded and messy, and the accommodation environment is not very good."

Yang Niannian looked at him in surprise. She never expected that he would pay attention to these things and be quite particular about them.

She blinked, "So where are we going now?"

Lu Shishen, "Let's go buy a watch first."

Yang Niannian's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that he had remembered this matter. Having a watch was indeed a lot more convenient. Yang Niannian was so happy that she followed Lu Shishen happily.

The two quickly found a watch shop, and judging from the damage to the sign, it seemed to be an old store.

The shop owner was a man in his sixties. When he saw the two people come in, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Are you looking for men's watches or women's watches? Here are a few new models that have just arrived in the big city."

"Ladies'." Lu Shishen is usually in the army, so he has no use for a personal watch.

When the boss heard this, he quickly took the two of them to look at the ladies' watches in front of the counter. He kept recommending several new models that had just arrived in big cities.

They do look good, but Yang Niannian has no urge to buy them. She always feels that these watches have no special features.

Seeing that Yang Niannian didn't seem to like anything, Lu Shishen said gently, "If you don't like anything, go look somewhere else."

I will take the train back to Haicheng tomorrow, so I have plenty of free time today, so it’s okay to walk around a little more.

Before Yang Niannian could say anything, the boss, upon hearing that the two were leaving, became anxious and spoke quickly.

"My store has all the styles that other stores have. There are many more styles. Come here and take a look."

Yang Niannian walked over and took a look, and she immediately fell in love with a watch with a plum blossom mark. It was silver-white in color, with a steel hoop strap, and it was both elegant and eye-catching.

Lu Shishen noticed that her eyes were shining as she stared at the Plum Blossom watch, so he asked the boss to take it out and have a look. Seeing that the two of them liked this watch, the shop owner had a strange expression on his face.

As he took out the watch, he explained, "You two have very good taste. This watch is the treasure of my shop, the Plum King watch."

When Yang Niannian heard the words "treasure of the store", she knew that the watch was not cheap. She tried it on her hand and liked it even more.

"How much?"

The shop owner held up three fingers and said, "300 yuan, no bargaining."

In a small county like theirs, selling one Plum Blossom watch a month is considered the best, and he didn't expect to sell the watch this time.

Adhering to the principle of opening a business and building a good reputation, he didn't mind taking out his watch and showing it to the two of them.

Maybe...it can be sold?

When Yang Niannian heard the price, she was instantly relieved. She thought it would cost seven or eight hundred.

Seeing her wearing the watch and looking at it from left to right, as if she couldn't let it go, Lu Shishen said to the boss, "We'll buy it."

"Buy it?" The boss was still a little unresponsive and repeated, "This watch is 300 yuan, no bargaining."

Watches that cost a hundred yuan or so sell a lot, but in a small place like theirs, only a few watches that cost 300 yuan can be sold throughout the year.

Generally, people who buy this kind of watches are those who have made a lot of money in big cities.

Yang Niannian was amused by the boss and said seriously, "Boss, we really want this watch. Can you help make the strap smaller? It's a bit too big for me."

The boss was so happy that he nodded repeatedly and was very enthusiastic. He thought the two were planning to buy wedding watches and kept praising Yang Niannian for finding a good partner.

Yang Niannian was like a little child, she was so happy wearing the new watch. The two of them strolled around the neighborhood. Because she was so happy, she didn't look at the road and accidentally scratched her ankle on the steps.

Fortunately, it was just a slight skin break and some blood seeped out, so it wasn't serious.

She didn't take it seriously, but Lu Shishen frowned slightly, and seeing that there was a pharmacy on the side of the road, he pursed his lips and said.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go get some Band-Aids."

"Oh, okay." Yang Niannian nodded obediently.

Lu Shishen came back from the pharmacy not long after. He put his luggage bag on the ground and bent down to put a Band-Aid on Yang Niannian.

However, Yang Niannian noticed that the tips of his ears were red. She thought he was hot and didn't pay much attention to it. After he stood up, she said in a crisp voice.

"It's getting dark, let's go have a meal and find a hotel to rest."

Ancheng is too small and there is not much to visit. She didn’t get enough rest in the past few days and she felt a little tired.

Lu Shishen nodded and said "hmm", picked up the luggage bag and led her forward, without looking at her from beginning to end.

The two found a noodle restaurant, ate Ancheng's special mixed noodles, and then stayed in a nearby hotel. It was convenient to take the bus here, so they could go directly to the train station the next morning.

Ancheng is much less developed than Haicheng. For example, when staying in a hotel, it’s not that couples are not allowed to stay in the same room. They said it is for couples accommodation, but the landlady didn’t believe it.

His eyes were like searchlights, looking them up and down and saying, "The inspections have been stricter recently. You need to show us your marriage certificate to prove that you are husband and wife and not having an affair."

"Yes, it's in the luggage bag."

Yang Niannian didn't care, since they were a real couple anyway. She bent down to open the luggage bag in Lu Shishen's hand, but he grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?" Yang Niannian looked at him strangely.

Lu Shishen pursed his lips unnaturally, "I'll get it."

Yang Niannian opened his hand with a snap, "I'll take it."

The proprietress felt something was amiss. It was just a suitcase, but why did it act as if there was something invisible inside?

She stared at the luggage bag with wide eyes, afraid that she might miss something.

As Yang Niannian opened the bag, something fell out. Before she could see clearly, a few more fell out... Looking inside the bag again, there were at least one or two hundred items...

Yang Niannian picked one up and took a look. After recognizing what it was, her face instantly turned red and her body froze, not knowing what to do.

When did he buy so many 'small umbrellas' to put in his bag?

Did you clear out the store?

Where did Lu Shishen, who remained calm even when a beautiful woman was in his arms, go?

Help! Can she pretend not to know him?

Lu Shishen, who was always calm and composed and never panicked under pressure, showed a rare look of embarrassment.
