Chapter 56 Buying a Bag
She slept for almost a full day and night before waking up.
Although the fever has subsided, I still feel very uncomfortable all over.
You could feel the tearing pain in her vocal cords when she spoke, "Ah, Shi, Shi Jin, are you there?"
At that moment, Shi Jin was heating up porridge in the kitchen.
He didn't know when Bai Zhenzhu would wake up, so he would go to the kitchen every two hours to reheat the food so that she could eat as soon as she opened her eyes.
When Jin brought in the hot porridge again, Bai Zhenzhu had already been awake for a while.
She sat up slightly and leaned weakly against the headboard.
She was already fair-skinned, and after getting sick, she's practically as pale as a sheet of paper.
When Shi Jin saw that Bai Zhenzhu had finally woken up, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He happily walked to the bedside, set up a table, and put on the vegetable porridge he had cooked.
Although it didn't look very appealing, it was a bowl of porridge filled with his heartfelt intentions, making it all the more special.
Bai Zhenzhu stared at the bowl of porridge and smiled knowingly.
"Shi Jin, I guess this is the first time you've ever cooked porridge for a girl, right?"
Shi Jin coughed awkwardly twice, but made no attempt to hide it.
He gave a soft "hmm".
"I am truly honored to be able to drink porridge personally cooked by the young master of the Shi family... If the young master of the Shi family were to feed me personally, I would definitely be the happiest woman in the world!"
She looked at him expectantly, smiled sweetly, and blushed.
It made him reluctant to say "no".
So he naturally picked up the spoon and began to feed her, spoonful by spoonful.
She had little appetite and only drank half a bowl before stopping.
"The last bite?"
Bai Zhenzhu blinked her cute and lively eyes, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"Alright then, one last bite."
...
After finishing her meal, Bai Zhenzhu rested for a while before getting up and coming out.
However, it was already dark.
Shi Jin was sitting on the sofa in the living room having a video conference with a foreigner using a computer.
Bai Zhenzhu sat beside him, idly fiddling with her phone, seemingly sending something.
After the meeting ended, he rubbed his temples and took a sip of black coffee.
He leaned closer and looked down to see what Bai Zhenzhu was busy with.
The result was Fu Nansheng's WeChat page.
He glanced at it and saw a short clip of their conversation.
Pearl, I went to France a few days ago and bought you your favorite Fendi bag. I'll bring it to you at your school tomorrow.
[Nansheng, I really love that bag! You're so good to me, always surprising me like this!]
She also sent a cute "I love you" emoji.
[Pearl, I'll buy you anything you like. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I'll find a way to pluck them down and give them to you.]
[I'll pass on the stars; I still prefer bags.]
Then Bai Zhenzhu downloaded a picture of a classic black Chanel chain bag from the internet and sent it to her.
[Nansheng, I like this bag too~]
【purchase! 】
Shi Jin didn't see anything beyond that.
Just seeing all this was enough to make him want to explode.
Bai Zhenzhu calmly put away her phone, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere around her.
She picked up the hot milk on the table and took a sip.
Then Shi Jin's deep and restrained voice was heard saying, "Bai Zhenzhu, do you really like having men buy you bags?"
Bai Zhenzhu lowered her head and looked down, her shrewd and calculating eyes hiding in the shadows, having planned everything.
"Isn't it a man's duty to buy a woman a bag? I'm so beautiful, if they want to pursue me, shouldn't they do something for me? Don't tell me you like Li Qianni but have never bought her a bag???"
She acted as if she had discovered a new continent, simultaneously proving herself and being sarcastic.
Shi Jin awkwardly touched his ear and explained, "I did think about buying Li Qianni a bag, but she said that she is not a materialistic girl and does not like to spend a man's money."
White Pearl let out a soft sigh.
"So you believed that? As far as I know, when Li Qianni was in her first year of high school, she received a six-figure watch from a boy who was pursuing her. You say she's not materialistic? I think you're too naive!"
Shi Jin had long since lost any expectations or goodwill towards Li Qianni, so when he heard Bai Zhenzhu say such things about Li Qianni, he didn't feel any desire to defend her.
Bai Zhenzhu carefully observed his expression and found that he seemed quite calm and collected.
He asked curiously, "Shi Jin, you're not angry anymore after I said that about Li Qianni?"
Shi Jin didn't answer, but his expression said it all.
It seems she guessed correctly. Although Shi Jin remained silent about Li Qianni's actions on the surface, he knew better than anyone else what she was doing.
"I knew it! That kind of scumbag is not good enough for you, Shi Jin. You are so outstanding. I, Bai Zhenzhu, am kind and innocent. You should really consider me."
She said it casually, as if it were a joke.
But it stirred up ripples in Shi Jin's heart.
...
Bai Zhenzhu stayed at Shi Jin's apartment for another night.
Bai Zhenzhu woke up early the next day because she had classes.
After putting on the dried clothes and quickly washing up, I left the bedroom.
Shi Jin had an early class this morning, so she went to school an hour ago.
A sumptuous breakfast was prepared for her on the table.
There was an orange Hermès bag on one corner of the table, and a note next to it.
The label neatly reads, "This bag matches your outfit perfectly today."
Bai Zhenzhu glanced down at the clothes she was wearing, cheap items she'd just bought on Taobao. How could they possibly match such an expensive bag?
This seemingly reserved guy knows how to find an excuse to give a gift!
She happily unpacked the bag; this was Bai Zhenzhu's first Hermes bag, something her mother usually wouldn't even buy for herself.
Upon opening, I discovered it was a Kelly 25 Elephant Grey, with an old-money vibe that looked very high-quality.
Although it doesn't really match her age, considering how expensive it is, we have to match it even if it doesn't!
Bai Zhenzhu opened the camera, took a video of unpacking the package, and sent it to Li Qianni.
I love the surprise Shi Jin gave me today!
Then she opened Shi Jin's WeChat and sent a photo of herself with her bag.
[Thank you so much, Shi Jin, for the bag! Love you!]
Shi Jin was in class when she received the WeChat message.
He stared blankly at the photo, a doting smile creeping onto his lips...
