Chapter 61 Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day)



Yi Yang took out his phone and checked the time. It was only 10 a.m., still a long way off.

Feeling carefree, Yi Yang decided to go out for a stroll, as his royalties would be deposited into his account the day after tomorrow.

The back-end system shows that after deducting personal income tax, there are still more than 1.2 million yuan.

Originally, there weren't this many. It was mainly due to the contract change that Yi Yang was able to get 70%, which is why there was this number.

With my current savings, I can afford to buy a decent house outright.

This is all the income from the past month or so.

If this were on Earth, it would be a solid eight-figure monthly income.

However, Yi Yang still wanted to wait a little longer, since there was still no news about the bounty, which was where the real prize was.

The kind of job that allows you to retire comfortably after pulling off one big score.

Yi Yang estimated that the time was almost up and the final result would be out soon.

After all, the reward notice clearly stated that the submission period was one month, and today is exactly the right time.

We'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Yi Yang tidied himself up and went out.

For the past two weeks, I've been eating takeout every day for lunch, so I'm treating myself to a nice meal today.

It was the same shopping mall. Yi Yang was shopping alone, and he had nothing to hold onto, making him look lonely and isolated.

From afar, you can see the "Heli Lao" hot pot restaurant.

But I'm all alone right now, so I guess I'll pass on eating hot pot!

The spicy stir-fry next to it looks pretty good, I might try it.

Just as Yi Yang was about to go over, he was blocked by a group of workers carrying things.

We should respect the working people, so Yi Yang stood aside and let them do their work. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry to eat, and there was still plenty of time.

At this moment, two large signs were erected.

"Flowers are silent, but love speaks volumes; a grand promotion for a romantic Qixi Festival."

"Embrace the Qixi Festival and enjoy the night view; happiness accompanies you here."

When Yi Yang saw this, he was also startled. Was the Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) coming soon? When was it?

As a long-time single person, I haven't even considered it, let alone had any concept of it.

But things are different now! I already have a girl, and if I forget about her, I'll probably be single again.

I took out my phone and checked the date; it showed tomorrow.

That's good, there's still time. Yi Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Since I have nothing to do right now, I might as well buy a gift and give the girl a surprise.

The thought of this made Yi Yang a little excited. He wondered to himself, "But what gift should I buy?"

After thinking for a while, I had absolutely no clue what to do. As for the standard flowers, needless to say, they are definitely a must.

Now I'm thinking about things other than flowers.

"Let's browse around first, and if all else fails, we can search online."

"Yes, that's what we'll do."

Yi Yang muttered to himself and even made a small fist gesture.

Having made up his mind, Yi Yang left the food area and headed towards the department store area.

While browsing, I kept glancing at the advertisements at the store entrances.

Because Yi Yang discovered a key point.

Every shop had promotional slogans for Qixi Festival posted at the entrance, along with many new products specially launched for the festival.

Whenever Yi Yang sees something he likes, he'll think back to whether Xiao Nizi has something similar. If she does, then there's no need to consider it further; he can move on to the next store.

Limited edition Qixi Festival couple watches

After seeing it, Yi Yang thought for a while. He had met Xiao Nizi so many times, but he didn't seem to have ever seen her wear a watch.

You can take a look at this.

With a thought in mind, Yi Yang walked into the store, completely disregarding the price.

Welcome!

A salesperson at the entrance bowed slightly and called out to Yi Yang.

Yi Yang smiled and nodded politely, then got straight to the point.

"I'd like to take a look at the couple's watches advertised at the entrance."

"Okay, sir, this way please."

Upon hearing this, the salesperson's eyes lit up, and they led Yi Yang to a counter.

"Sir, please take a look. This is our store's newly launched Qixi Festival limited edition product, which is only sold in Xia Kingdom and is limited to 777 pairs."

After taking it, Yi Yang felt it was more and more suitable the more he looked at it.

At this moment, the salesperson also began to give a presentation.

"The main body of the watch is made of 18K rose gold, with a skeletonized back, a fully automatic mechanical movement, a double-domed sapphire crystal, and excellent water resistance, making it suitable for everyday wear."

Yi Yang didn't understand these technical terms either, but from the introduction, they sounded quite sophisticated.

To show that he wasn't a complete novice, he listened to the introduction and nodded from time to time.

"Also, look at the diamonds set on the watch. The outer two layers have a total of 99 diamonds, representing the two people's long-lasting love. The inner 77 diamonds represent the unchanging nature of their love."

Yi Yang got carried away and actually counted them; the quantity was indeed correct.

The saleswoman chuckled as she watched, assuming Yi Yang had done it on purpose.

Actually, what initially attracted Yi Yang to the outside world was the heart-shaped design on the watches, with each watch containing half a heart, which together formed a complete heart.

In addition, it is inlaid with diamonds, so it sparkles when the light shines on it.

As our ancestor once said, no woman can resist something sparkly, from childhood to adulthood.

Even Yi Yang thought it was very beautiful.

What's the price?

When Yi Yang started asking about the price, the salesperson knew that the other party had purchasing power and immediately gave an answer.

"Nationwide uniform price, one pair of Xia Yuan coins."

After hearing this, Yi Yang habitually did the mental conversion, which was equivalent to more than 700,000 RMB on Earth.

This price isn't exactly expensive, but it's certainly not cheap either.

However, for Yi Yang now, it's entirely within his means; it's no big deal.

"I'll take it. Please wrap it up for me!"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Sure enough, the salesperson's smile widened even more when they heard that Yi Yang had bought it on the spot.

Ten minutes later, when Yi Yang came out carrying a small gift box, the salesperson delivered it directly to the store entrance.

"Welcome to visit us again."

This time, Yi Yang could clearly feel that the sound was much louder than when he first entered the room. He didn't know if the angle of his bend had also increased, but Yi Yang didn't have that kind of perverse sense of humor and didn't turn around to look.

At this point, Yi Yang was no longer thinking about any fancy meal. He ate something quickly and went straight home to pack his luggage.

Even for short trips, it's essential to bring a change of clothes during the hot summer months.

Moreover, Yi Yang was also thinking of visiting Hengdian World Studios, where Le Ba was currently filming.

Back on Earth, it was because of work and being short of money.

Now that I'm a freelancer, I have both money and free time, so I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't go shopping.

However, it would be even better if the girl could come with me if she had the time.

Enjoying something alone can't compare to enjoying it with someone else.
