Chapter 100 The 1980s: The Male and Female Protagonists' Deaths (26)
Everyone was just being polite, certain that Jin Shu wouldn't agree, since she had always been introverted and never participated in group activities, let alone go shopping with classmates she wasn't familiar with.
It was truly unexpected that they agreed so readily this time.
Jin Shu packed her handbag and stepped forward.
"I'll take you there."
"Oh... okay, but won't this interfere with your studies?"
"No, it's on my way."
Going out with a girl as beautiful as Jin Shu puts everyone under a strange pressure, making them feel that no matter how beautiful they dress up, they will ultimately become mere background figures.
They didn't chat much along the way, and soon they arrived on the street. Jin Shu pointed to the sign in front of them.
"This is it."
"When did it open? Wow, it's so beautiful inside."
The girls were all children of employees, and their families had always been well-off, but they were still a little nervous and worried when they saw the novel and beautiful clothes displayed in the clothing store.
"The clothes in here must be very expensive."
"The materials look very good; one piece might cost twenty or thirty yuan."
"Jin Shu, how much did this cost?"
Everyone looked at Jin Shu, who casually said...
"Ten yuan."
"Ten yuan... is still a bit expensive."
"Whether it's expensive or not, go in and try it out first. How will you know if it's worth the price if you don't go in and try it out?"
Several girls hesitated and nervously went inside. As soon as Xiao Wang saw the guests, he immediately smiled and went over to them.
"Just browse around, you can try anything."
"Wow……"
As soon as you step inside, it feels like you're in the countryside. It's supposed to be a bleak autumn, but the place is full of the breath of spring.
The decorations on the wall and the clothes on the shelves complemented each other perfectly. Every piece was a style they had never seen before, novel and beautiful without being too extravagant. The clothes, pants, and even the socks were all matched.
"Don't worry, you can try it without buying it."
Xiao Wang's gentle attitude was a stark contrast to the casual and impatient sales clerks in some shops these days, which immediately put the girls at ease, and they each picked out their favorite clothes to try on.
"You'd actually suit this white baseball jacket better. It flatters your figure and shows you really enjoy sports. Wearing this jacket won't hinder your running at all."
"Really? I'll give it a try."
It really looks good when you put it on.
Xiao Wang immediately took out another baseball cap.
"This is also a new hat in our store, called a baseball cap. It looks especially neat and good-looking with a baseball jacket, and it can also modify the shape of your face. It can be worn by both long and short hair, and it can also keep you warm in winter."
The moment you put on a baseball cap, your whole vibe changes; you instantly become youthful and radiant, just like a celebrity in an advertisement.
"Do you still have this hat? I'd like to try it on too."
"Yes, we do. Besides baseball caps, we also have beanies and bucket hats, styles you won't find in other stores. They're both stylish and practical."
Several girls tried it on with great enthusiasm, matching hats, jackets, and pants to create a neat and tidy look from top to bottom, each with a unique style and shining brightly.
"I want this set, I really want to buy it, but I don't have enough money on me right now. Can you leave it for me so I can go back and get the money right away?"
"all right."
"Me too, me too, keep this set for me as well."
"I want one too!"
And so, the girls hurriedly went back, one of them noticing that Jin Shu was still standing inside.
"Jin Shu, why don't you give it a try?"
"It's alright, I'm just happy to see you try it out."
"..."
She is so pitiful.
Xiao Wang almost couldn't hold back his laughter. After the girls left, he went up and put his arm around Jin Shu's arm.
"These girls probably thought you couldn't afford it. You're too modest; you didn't even tell them you're the owner here?"
"Tell them they still need to pay a friendly price, that's too much trouble, we'll talk about it later."
We'll talk about it when we can't hide it anymore.
Soon, the group returned with the money and took the clothes. Even though they had spent so much, everyone's face was full of excited smiles.
The next day, the girl who had changed into her new clothes quickly became the focus of the class.
"This is a Golden Crane brand, the quality is so good, I'm not cold at all wearing just this one!"
"She looks really good, like an actress on TV, so beautiful."
"Where is the shop? I'd like to go and see it too."
"It must be very expensive; you can tell just by looking at the material."
In less than a few days, Jin Shu had already seen many girls in the school wearing Jinhe brand clothing.
It's either a hat, a coat, or pants; because the styles are novel, you can basically recognize them at a glance.
Without anyone noticing, the name "Golden Crane" has become synonymous with "fashionable" and "exquisite" in the school.
Meanwhile, Jin Shu was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she first entered the school, leaving early and returning late every day, attending classes when she had them, and doing practice problems when she didn't.
The midterm exam results are out.
The school has a habit of reshuffling classes and redistributing students after every major exam.
It's euphemistically called making top students feel a sense of crisis.
As the best school in the city, most of its students can go on to universities in the city, and even those with poor grades can go to junior colleges.
Therefore, everyone is particularly concerned about the results and rankings. As soon as the results were announced, many people started asking around.
The ranking list was eventually posted on the classroom blackboard, and everyone rushed to it.
"Look at mine, look where I am."
"I feel I did well on the exam this time, and I should be able to leave this class."
"Who's in first place? Isn't Zhao Shibao in first place?"
"The first place goes to Jin Shu. As expected of a former top student, she still managed to get such a high score even after missing two months of classes."
Many eyes turned to look at them.
Jin Shu calmly raised her head and looked at the homeroom teacher who was walking in.
She waved to Jin Shu.
"Jin Shu, come out here and tidy up the books."
Amidst everyone's admiring and envious gazes, Jin Shu left the classroom with her books in her arms.
Do you think she'll come back?
"I'm not kidding. If it weren't for her family troubles, you probably would never have had the chance to be in the same class as her in your entire life."
"Wow, that's amazing. I heard she got first place in the grade this time, in math, physics, English, and Chinese, leaving the second place by tens of points."
Even better than when I was in my first year of high school!
The two men sighed.
My first crush in life ended in never even reaching the shadow of my beloved.
At this moment, Jin Shu was already standing at the door of Class One with her books in her arms.
Her former homeroom teacher was waiting for her with a big smile on her face.
"I knew you could do it. Here, I've already saved a spot for you."
The homeroom teacher had always liked Jin Shu, a steady and reliable child. When she didn't come to school, besides Liao Lin, the person most worried about her was probably the homeroom teacher.
Jin Shu walked in and saw many of her former classmates who had been in the same class as the original owner.
