Seeing that the prices here were so much higher than outside, the other students also had second thoughts, and soon most of them left.
After all, they are high school students with limited living expenses, and they had already carefully prepared snacks and drinks before coming. It was really not worth buying things here just for a momentary craving.
Suddenly, there were far fewer people in front of the convenience store, but Mr. Chen, who was quite well-dressed, didn't leave.
After hearing the price-hunting conversation, Shang Yunmiao's wife, who was known for her thriftiness, tried to dissuade Chen Bing from buying the product. However, Chen Bing was genuinely well-off and stubborn, so Shang Yunmiao couldn't stop him.
"Boss, do you sell QQ candy?"
"Ten yuan."
"This is also a small package?" Chen Bing was genuinely surprised. If he remembered correctly, a 70g package of QQ candy should cost three yuan outside. It shouldn't be ten yuan here, right? Although he wasn't short of money, he couldn't just be a fool, could he?
"No, it's the big package, the kind that sells for six yuan outside."
Oh, that's more like it.
After spending twenty yuan to buy two packs, Chen Bing left with Shang Yunmiao, satisfied.
It's strange, really. Even though we bought the product at a higher price, compared to the fact that Coca-Cola doubled in price, a price increase of one or eight times doesn't seem so hard to accept.
Watching Shang Yunmiao happily eating QQ candy, the thought of the price gradually faded from Chen Bing's mind.
That's true, small businesses like to eat it, so what if it's a little more expensive?
Chen Bing happily ruffled the girl's hair and opened his mouth to ask her to feed him.
"Chen Bing~" Two cute, fair fingers held a pink QQ candy and came to Chen Bing's mouth. Without any politeness, they opened their mouths and ate the QQ candy and the fingers together. Afterwards, the owner of the fingers patted his lower abdomen embarrassedly, trying to make him let go of his mouth.
After all, Mr. Chen wasn't a shameless guy. Seeing that the other party refused such excessive play, he immediately relented.
Honestly, Chen Bing is really wicked.
After withdrawing her finger, Shang Yunmiao glanced at Chen Bing with a blush before lowering her head to continue eating the QQ candy. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shang Yunmiao would always unconsciously put her hand in her mouth when feeding herself QQ candy.
Immersed in her own quirky little pleasures known only to herself, Shang Yunmiao derives immense joy.
However, this happiness did not last long. In just a short while, she finished a bag of 150g of QQ candy.
Just then, the girl was a little tired from walking, so she found a relatively secluded little pavilion to sit down under Chen Bing's guidance.
"Have you finished eating? Here, I'll open another pack for you. We'll go buy more when you're done."
"No need, I'll be satisfied with just one more pack." Little Shang, with her small feet swinging and a little braid, stared intently at Chen Bing's hand movements as she spoke.
"Little glutton." Chen Bing smiled indulgently, first handing the opened bag of QQ candy to Xiao Shang, then patting her little braid. "Look at your little expression, you don't look like you'd be satisfied with just one more bag."
"Hehe." After taking the candy, Xiao Shang first nudged Chen Bing with her head in a coquettish manner, and then leaned on the other's shoulder to continue enjoying the candy.
This time, she first sculpted a pink strawberry-flavored QQ candy. When she saw the QQ candy of this color, Chen Bing from Shrimp Head suddenly remembered a wonderful thing that happened during last summer vacation.
So-called... no, just to tease Xiao Shang, Chen Bing grinned wickedly, then reached out and pinched Xiao Shang's cheek, saying, "How about I treat you to some QQ candy?"
Although Chen Bing had already asked this question, Shang Yunmiao still obediently answered "okay".
"Well, since I treated you to some QQ candy, when are you going to treat me to some of your QQ candy too?"
Upon hearing this, the naive and bewildered young businesswoman expressed her confusion through her expression.
My QQ candy? Is Chen Bing referring to the one in her hand?
Seeing Shang Yunmiao's clueless expression, Chen Bing originally wanted to remind her that it was those two things on her body. But then she thought that even the usually clueless Chen Bing felt that this was a bit too silly, so she didn't say anything more, just laughed and said that she would understand later.
"Oh~" Although she didn't understand what she would know in the future, since Chen Bing said so, it didn't matter if she didn't need to know now.
With a relaxed mindset, Shang Yunmiao leaned against Chen Bing and continued to focus on eating her QQ candy.
A gentle breeze drifted in from afar, and a blanket of gray clouds stretched across the vast lake, creating a truly poetic scene. I wondered if it would rain later; if it did, sharing an umbrella with Xiao Shang would be quite elegant.
While Chen Bing was lost in thought, Xiao Shang, who was focused on eating QQ candy, made a surprising discovery.
"Wow! Chen Bing, look! There are long, thin QQ candies here!"
After being grabbed by the arm and shaken a couple of times by Shang Yunmiao, Chen Bing turned to look at the girl.
Wow, it really is true.
To Chen Bing's slight surprise, a long, light blue strip of QQ candy had been mixed in with the individual QQ candy packaging.
Almost the instant she saw this, a plan to eat her mouth popped into Chen Bing's mind.
He gave a sly smile, then put his arm around Shang Yunmiao's shoulder and said, "Since it's such a coincidence, give me half of it too."
"Chen Bing, do you want some too?" Xiao Shang asked, head down, generously preparing to cut the QQ candy in half. Just then, Chen Bing reached out and stopped her.
"I'd rather divide it fairly based on merit than on fairness."
In response to Shang Yunmiao's doubts, Chen Bing continued to explain, "Come on, like this, you open your mouth and bite this end first. Okay, you've bitten it, right? In a moment, I'll bite the other end, and then when I say 'start,' we'll start eating forward and see who can eat the most in the shortest amount of time."
After saying that, Chen Bing, who had no sense of martial ethics, deftly bit the other end of the QQ candy, mumbled "Start," and slowly began to eat it.
Seeing this, Shang Yunmiao, who was just being coaxed by Chen Bing and was biting the other end of a QQ candy, panicked. On the one hand, the clever girl naturally knew that Chen Bing was trying to trick her into eating it again, and on the other hand, she felt that it was nothing to eat it in a secluded place, and she had promised Chen Bing on the way here.
In addition, she really wanted to eat this long, thin QQ candy, so after a little struggle, Shang Yunmiao quickly bit forward and fiercely fought with Chen Bing for it.
