Shi Xing walked from one end of the mall to the other, almost emptying all the stores' inventory.
Whenever she spends money, she can't control herself from wanting to buy more.
However, she has money and doesn't need to restrain her purchasing desires; she can buy as much as she wants.
After she and Xu Bai finished their meal and left the mall, all the streetlights outside were on, and the sky was pitch black, with no stars or moonlight.
The driver was waiting by the roadside, and as soon as the two of them came out, he immediately opened the car door for them.
All the items they bought were delivered to Wanliu Academy, and the two then returned to Wanliu Academy.
When they arrived, some of the delivery staff had already arrived, but since no one was home, they could only wait at the entrance of the residential area.
They were only allowed to enter the residential area in their car after their identities were verified by the security guards.
Then, staff members carrying large and small bags followed them upstairs.
After entering the password, Shi Xing looked inside. The style was not bad, but because no one had lived there, it had no lively atmosphere at all, like a show flat.
"You can just put your things in the living room."
"Okay, Ms. Shi."
One employee after another placed the packaging bags on the ground, gradually filling the entire floor.
This felt strangely familiar to Shi Xing, reminding him of the time last year when he bought a whole bunch of goods and displayed them in his living room.
After spending a lot of time cleaning up, Shi Xing looked at the packaging bags all over the floor and had no desire to clean them up at all.
Xu Bai, on the other hand, has already started working diligently.
"Ah Xu, don't bother. Just call a few more housekeepers to clean up tomorrow."
Xu Bai, like a busy little bee, said: "It's okay, I can take care of it, it'll be quick."
Shi Xing looked at the things in the room and remained silent: "...Are you sure it will be soon? Just rest when I tell you to."
He had spent the entire day shopping with her, and she was already feeling quite tired.
However, he just smiled and said, "If I pack it myself, I can quickly find whatever Miss wants, and I don't want anyone else to take over Miss's things."
She was speechless. Since he was willing, then he could get busy.
"Take your time, there's no rush."
"good."
She went to the balcony and looked out. The evening breeze was cool and comfortable on her body.
Her loose, jet-black hair danced in the wind, some of it sticking to her face and making her feel itchy. She reached out and tucked the strands behind her ears.
In the distance, cars and people moved about, and the dazzling lights illuminated the night. She leaned on the railing, letting her mind wander.
Suddenly, this beauty felt somewhat unreal.
099 played a late-night NetEase Cloud Music track in her mind.
Sad melodies and melancholic songs echoed in my mind.
Shi Xing: ...
"Jiujiu, what are you doing?"
099 replied matter-of-factly: "I'll do your voiceover! Isn't this the time of night when people are feeling depressed?"
Shi Xing: "...It's not midnight yet."
The music stopped abruptly: "Oh, okay, then Jiu Jiu will play music for you again at twelve o'clock."
Its voice was as soft and cute as ever, with a youthful and lively quality, but Shi Xing felt a strange heart attack.
She turned and went back inside, where Xu Bai was still diligently tidying up her clothes.
Shi Xing watched from the side, and then she got up and tidied up with Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took the clothes from her hands: "Miss, don't bother, I can do it."
Shi Xing shook his head: "I can't just keep watching you work, can I? It'll be done quickly if I help you."
Xu Bai didn't stop them. The two of them worked together seamlessly, one taking the bag and the other tidying it up. It felt quite heartwarming.
The bed sheets and duvet covers were all newly changed by the housekeeper; they didn't change them because the bed was ready to sleep in.
At ten o'clock, Shi Xing pulled Xu Bai to take a shower and then go to bed.
As dawn broke, the sun climbed high into the sky early.
The warm morning sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the softly lit floor.
Shi Xing's biological clock wakes her up automatically at the appointed time, and yesterday was also a wonderful night, so she slept exceptionally well.
As soon as she stood up, Xu Bai wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
Good morning, Miss.
Her voice, just awakened, carried a hazy, sexy huskiness, like a cello melody that captivated the listener.
She turned around and gave him a light peck on the cheek: "Good morning."
She lifted the covers, got dressed, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Xu Bai followed closely behind.
After washing up, Xu Bai put on an apron and went into the kitchen.
"What would you like to eat today, Miss?"
The refrigerator is filled with fresh vegetables and ingredients, and the kitchen has all the necessary utensils and appliances, so you can cook whatever you want.
Shi Xing didn't really want anything to eat, so she shook her head and said, "Just make something simple, nothing too complicated."
He nodded: "Okay."
In the end, all the dishes that Shi Xing liked to eat were made.
After breakfast, it was still early, so Shi Xing picked up her tablet and started searching for travel guides for the capital city.
"Ah Xu, come and show me our itinerary for the next few days."
So Xu Bai sat on the sofa, and Shi Xing sat sideways on his lap, holding a tablet and nestled in his arms.
"Shall we go watch the flag-raising ceremony?"
Although it requires her to get up earlier in the morning, it's not difficult for her.
Xu Bai nodded as he looked at the guide on the screen: "Okay, let's go have breakfast after we finish reading it."
"Okay, then let's go climb the Great Wall? I've never been there before in my life!"
The two began planning and discussing their itinerary for the next few days, with Xu Bai memorizing every single detail and timeline.
He gazed tenderly at the lady in his arms, his eyes intense and passionate, filled with fervent and undisguised love, as if he wanted to deeply engrave every detail and expression of her in his heart.
The arm around her waist unconsciously tightened a little, and he buried his head in her neck, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
His...Miss...
Shi Xing turned her head and gently stroked his cheek and earlobe: "A-Xu?"
He looked up at Shi Xing, and the intense emotion in his eyes made Shi Xing's heart stop beating and then start beating rapidly again.
She had been stared at like this by Xu Bai more than once, and her heart had pounded like this more than once.
“Miss, Xu Bai likes you very much.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Xu Bai doesn't know what love is, but Xu Bai is willing to give everything for Miss. Xu Bai wants to stay by Miss's side forever and hopes that Miss will always be happy. Xu Bai doesn't mind if there are other people by Miss's side, but please don't abandon me."
He had never expressed his thoughts so directly before, nor had he ever shown such overwhelming affection.
The last time she returned to Shanghai from Anping Province, Xu Bai asked her if she would abandon him. She answered "no." He said, "Xu Bai will always belong to Shi Xing." It turns out that Xu Bai had been insecure for a long time.
His facial features were distinct and deep, with his rosy lips pressed tightly together beneath his straight nose, and the corners of his mouth, which always looked up when facing her, drooped slightly.
Shi Xing felt a pang of sadness and guilt for the first time.
She reached out and hugged Xu Bai, pressing him against her shoulder and stroking his hair.
"I know, I like Xu Bai very much too. I promise you, I will never abandon you."
"Xu Bai believes in Miss."
