Wang Xinghe, however, felt that the cityscape of Times Square was more beautiful; it was arguably the most bustling area in New York.
"Wow, the prices here are really high."
They just went shopping together at a store in Times Square. Lin Shiman saw a dress she liked, but it cost five hundred US dollars, which she couldn't bear to buy.
"Shiman, if you like it, I'll buy it for you now."
"No need, it's too expensive."
Huang Bin, still unwilling to give up, said, "I'll go buy it for you."
"Huang Bin, I don't want to. Didn't I already say that?"
"Shiman, we're out shopping. You finally found a dress you like. If you don't take it, you'll regret it when you get home."
"Huang Bin, is this really funny?!" Lin Shiman had had enough and shouted, attracting Qin Xueying and the others to come over.
"What's wrong? Why are you arguing?"
"It's nothing, Xueying. Shiman just saw a dress she liked and I was thinking of buying it for her, but she got angry."
"Huang Bin, Shi Man is just showing you affection."
"Yes, I know you don't have much money. This dress is your monthly living expenses, right? More than five hundred US dollars."
"Are you kidding me? I hope you won't make the same jokes about me and him again."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Shiman, that dress really looked great on you. I'll buy it for you as a gift."
"No need, Sister Xueying, you really don't need to buy it for me."
"You're calling me 'sister' now, what's wrong with buying a dress?"
Wang Xinghe also returned, carrying milk tea. There's a popular milk tea shop in Times Square, and after learning about it, Wang Xinghe insisted on treating everyone to milk tea as a way of thanking them for taking care of him.
"What's wrong? Come on, everyone, have some milk tea. I waited in line for so long to get this picture. Try it and see if it's good."
"Xinghe, we'll be going again later. What do you think of that dress?" Qin Xueying asked softly.
"A skirt? What skirt?"
"It's the one from the poetry and comics test."
"It looks pretty good."
"How about we buy her?"
"Sure, I'll pay for it. Then, Xueying, you can pick one too; consider it a gift for you."
"I don't care. With the competition approaching, our team must stay united. Huang Bin and Shi Man almost got into a fight over this just now."
"Okay, I got it. Watch me in a bit."
Wang Xinghe knew the nature of the relationship between Huang Bin and Lin Shiman. If the two were to break up because of this, it would be very detrimental to their team.
Wang Xinghe pretended to be completely unaware and asked, "How's the milk tea? Is it good?"
Lin Shiman was busy finding the right angle to take photos; the milk tea had "Welcome to New York" written on it.
"It's alright, thanks, junior Wang."
"It's only right. The senior students have taken such good care of me, and I've troubled them quite a bit."
"Oh, Xinghe, now that you say that, I feel like it's only natural for me to do this."
"Of course, it's only right. To thank you for taking care of me, let's go back to the mall later and each of us pick out a gift, how about that?"
"No, no, no, Star River, this is far too precious."
"Alright, you guys don't need to be shy anymore. Wang Xinghe has plenty of money, right? He could buy this entire Times Square in New York without any problem."
"Sister Xueying, that's going too far. How could I afford it? I couldn't afford it even if I sold myself."
"Just kidding. Anyway, Xinghe said he'd buy it for you, so just take advantage of this rich bastard. He's stupid, rich, and a landlord's son."
"Sister Xueying, you're wrong about that. I may have a lot of money, but I'm not stupid. Let's go. Everyone who sees this today will receive a gift."
"Then we won't stand on ceremony, Junior Wang."
Huang Bin clenched his fist, but in the end he still followed.
Wang Xinghe successfully bought the dress for Liu Shiman, and Huang Bin was even more furious when he saw Lin Shiman accept it.
"Senior Huang, hurry up and choose a gift too!"
"Yes, Huang Bin, choose a gift as a memento."
"No need, I don't want anything. Let's go to the next place."
"Wait a minute! I need to change into my dress. Sister Xueying, please take a few more pictures of me later. I want to post them on my WeChat Moments."
"OK, no problem."
Huang Bin opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Huang Bin called Wang Xinghe aside and glanced at the group of people who were chatting and admiring each other because they had received gifts.
"Xinghe, you know, I really like Shiman."
"I know, I can tell."
"I've known Shiman for three years now. In these three years, she's always been insincere with other men, but I'm sometimes very jealous of you, and even hate you. Can you give Shiman back to me?"
"I know you're better than me in every way, whether it's your family background or your own qualities, but you have a girlfriend now, so please don't mess with Shiman, okay?"
"Senior Huang, I have never provoked Senior Lin. Are you misunderstanding something? Besides, I have feelings for all of you. I am very grateful to you. We still need to be a team. Since we are going abroad to compete, we can't let our school down."
"The reason I bought you gifts today is not to discourage you, but to make things less awkward between you. Xueying told me that you two almost got into a fight just now. Senior Huang, you can't be so hasty in pursuing girls. Take it slow."
"Xinghe, I'm sorry, I got carried away. I didn't know you thought that way."
"It's okay, let's go pick out a gift later. Don't make things so awkward. I've never been your rival in love, don't worry. Besides, I love my girlfriend very much."
Huang Bin's eyes were filled with regret. He shouldn't have been so hostile towards Wang Xinghe. He had done so much for the good of the whole team.
"I'm sorry, Xinghe, I was just being petty and judging you by my own standards."
"It's okay. Actually, even if you hadn't come to me, I would have had a good chance to marry you anyway. Now that everything's cleared up, let's go back. They've started looking for us."
"Where have you two been? We've been looking for you for so long!"
Xinghe and I just went to the restroom.
"Let's go, let's go! Shiman said our next stop is the Statue of Liberty, it's a very famous attraction."
The conflict between Wang Xinghe and Huang Bin was resolved. When Huang Bin looked at Lin Shiman again, his state of mind seemed to have changed. Wang Xinghe was right; he seemed to have been too hasty.
Standing on the observation deck next to the Statue of Liberty, Huang Bin walked towards Lin Shiman.
"Shiman, I'm sorry."
"Apologize to me?"
"I was wrong just now. My feelings for you have caused you trouble. I won't do it again."
