"I saw it first." Shi Xi frowned.
"Just because you see it doesn't mean it's yours?" Hua Hengzhe didn't let go, slightly raising his chin. "I could say I got it first!"
The shop assistant was surprised to see that two people were fighting over the pink tie.
Their tiny shop actually has two characters, Zhuge Liang and Feng Yuxiang, on it.
Shi Xi looked at the shop assistant and asked, "Excuse me, is there only one of these?"
The sales clerk snapped out of her daze, "Oh, right, our ties are all handmade, and there's only one of each style."
Not a single one has been sold!
Upon hearing that it was unique, the two held on even tighter.
"I'm giving this as a gift, can you give it to me?" Shi Xi changed her strategy and began to negotiate with the other party.
Hua Hengzhe wasn't an unreasonable person. Seeing the girl speaking so kindly, he softened his attitude, "Ah, well, I... I'm also giving this away!"
Shi Xi remained silent.
What else can be said?
Hua Hengzhe sized up the girl and asked, "Are you Shi Xi?"
Shi Xi's pink hair was too eye-catching, so she wore a hat when she came out.
Hua Hengzhe didn't recognize her at first glance, but after taking a closer look, he exclaimed, "It really is Shi Xi!"
"Yes, so can I have this tie?" Shi Xi's eyes curved into a smile.
If they are fans, then it's even easier to talk to them.
Hua Hengzhe hesitated.
He was scammed out of eight million yuan in an online romance, which shocked his whole family.
His parents cut off his allowance with tears in their eyes, and Hua Xuanhe refused to help him in his time of need.
Hua Hengzhe then thought of buying a gift to bribe Hua Xuanhe, at least to give him some money for online dating—no, to let him continue playing games.
But after looking around, there wasn't a single thing he could afford.
Since ties weren't that expensive, Hua Hengzhe thought of buying one for Hua Xuanhe.
Two isn't many either.
Three would be even better.
But just as he took a liking to the pink tie, Shi Xi snatched it away.
what to do?
One is Shi Xi, who looks very much like his aunt and whom he has a strong liking for.
The other is Hua Xuanhe, who controls his own economic lifeline.
Money, of course!
Just as Hua Hengzhe was about to argue his point, he saw the price on the shelf: 2998 RMB.
It's so expensive?!
"Of course I can have it!" Hua Hengzhe let go of her hand and laughed heartily.
Shi Xi's eyes lit up. "Thank you!"
Hua Hengzhe pretended to continue looking at the ties, but in reality, he was secretly assessing their prices.
Why is it so expensive?!
He can't afford it!
Shi Xi put away the pink tie and picked out a dark green tie and a burgundy tie.
Surely one of these three ties will be one that Xie Yunzhou likes?
Hua Hengzhe watched as Shi Xi readily paid, feeling somewhat envious.
The three ties she chose were all ones she had her eye on!
Hmm.
After paying the bill, Shi Xi saw that Hua Hengzhe was still staring at the ties on the shelf and felt a little sorry for him.
He stole someone's beloved tie, and it was a one-of-a-kind tie at that.
"Um, thank you for letting me have your tie." Shi Xi walked up to him and said, "Shall I buy you coffee?"
Hua Hengzhe chuckled, "No need, no need, I'll go check out other stores."
He couldn't afford the ties in that store.
Run away quickly.
Hua Hengzhe continued to stroll around the mall, eventually ending up outside.
He simply couldn't afford anything in the mall.
Hua Hengzhe stopped in his tracks as he passed an inconspicuous store.
[Tie clearance sale! 3 for 100 yuan!]
Hua Hengzhe's eyes lit up.
