Chapter 71: Buy Something
Chapter 71: Buy Something
Chapter 71
Finally, Chi Yan and her attended two classes of Ancient Chinese together, and paid full attention during the classes. During the class, a small accident almost happened when Little Crow was about to doze off and stirred a little, accidentally losing footing and almost falling to the ground. Chu Yang caught it with one hand and lifted it up.
However, Little Crow might have been too frightened and crowed twice. Instantly all the people looked towards Chu Yang's corner. Chu Yang immediately put it down on the ground, pretending not knowing it, and pointed at the ground saying "A crow flew in."
Then many people lowered their heads to take a look. "Really?" "There is a crow in the classroom." "My god, let me take a photo and share with friends."
Little Crow then flew up and flew towards the window. The teacher told everyone to quiet down, "Alright, just a crow. Don't make a fuss. Let's continue the class."
Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Chi Yan next to her also breathed a sigh of relief. Their actions were synchronized.
Then there were no more accidents.
After class, Jin Yang ran over and asked "Was that Little Crow earlier?"
Chu Yang nodded "Yeah, it insisted on following me. Almost caused trouble. Luckily it was smart and flew away by itself."
Jin Yang patted his chest "I was wondering if it could be Little Crow. Next time when it comes over, don't give it... hmm... just give it half of the treats, need to teach it a lesson."
"Right." The two chatted for a couple more sentences before Jin Yang left.
Chu Yang packed up her things and left the classroom with Chi Yan. "It's just past 4. Where should we go? Feels a bit early for dinner." Chu Yang checked the time.
"Shall we go downtown shopping? I want to buy some things. My mother's birthday is coming up soon. Can you help me pick a gift?" Chi Yan came up with the idea all of a sudden.
"Sure." Chu Yang had no objections.
"Let's take the bus there. We'll leave Little Lamb here first."
"OK."
The two rode the electric bike back to the female dormitory first. Chu Yang then went back to her own dorm to put down her things before leaving with Chi Yan.
On the bus, the two sat at the back. Most people on the bus were students going out to have fun.
Chi Yan suddenly put an earbud into Chu Yang's ear. "Listen to some music? You pick something to listen to." Chi Yan handed her the phone.
Chu Yang took it and looked at Chi Yan's playlist. Half were English songs and half Chinese. Chu Yang randomly picked one.
As night fell, the streetlights by the roadside lit up too. The bus sped quickly around a corner and many people gasped out loud. Chi Yan hugged Chu Yang, afraid she might knock her head accidentally.
Chu Yang looked up and could see Chi Yan's Adam's apple. She reached out and touched it. The Adam's apple moved a little.
It was quite fun. Chu Yang wanted to reach out again but Chi Yan grasped her hand. "Don't move." His voice was hoarse.
Chi Yan lowered his head near Chu Yang's ear and softly said "Chu Yang, I'm afraid I might react." Young and vigorous, couldn't withstand any teasing.
Chu Yang understood instantly and her face turned red. Coupled with Chi Yan's breathing on her earlobe, Chu Yang didn't dare move anymore.
After a while, the bus stop was announced. They had arrived.
Only then did Chi Yan let her go, and pulled her off the bus. As they alighted, the night breeze blew, and Chu Yang felt the heat on her face finally subside a little.
Chi Yan pulled her along into the shopping mall. The moment they stepped in, the cold air conditioning wind blew onto their faces, instantly dissipating all the heat and vigor.
Chu Yang looked at the map and navigation. "The jewelry and accessories are on the 4th floor. Shall we go take a look?"
"Sure."
The two took the elevator up to the 4th floor and walked into a luxury brand shop. The shop assistant immediately came over with a bright, welcoming smile. "Welcome! Are you looking to buy some jewelry? Miss you look very pretty, and your skin is fair too. We just launched a new collection recently. Would you like to take a look?"
Chu Yang waved her hand "No need, we're looking to buy for an elder."
The shop assistant's smile didn't change "I see. We do have collections designed specially for elders here too. May I ask if it's for a female or male elder?"
"Female."
"Alright. Are you looking for a necklace or bracelet? Any preferences?" The shop assistant asked patiently.
Chu Yang looked to Chi Yan. Chi Yan thought for a bit "I think anything works. What do you think is good?"
Chu Yang looked at a jade bracelet in the display cabinet. "Maybe something like jade. A bracelet, or a whole jewelry set works too."
The shop assistant's grin grew even wider. "What a coincidence. Our shop currently has a jade jewelry set designed by Master Airo. Let me take it out for you to see."
Chi Yan didn't object.
The shop assistant quickly went to retrieve it. The moment they walked in, her sharp eyes had noticed that while the girl was dressed ordinarily, the guy was exceptionally well-dressed, with a watch that could almost buy their shop's star attraction.
The shop assistant swiftly returned with a box, placed it gently on the table and opened it. It was a set of emerald green jade jewelry, consisting of a necklace, bracelet and earrings.
Just as the shop assistant was about to introduce the set, Chi Yan took one look and directly said "We'll take this set."
The shop assistant's grin was almost reaching her ears now. "Excellent!"
Chi Yan continued "You mentioned just now you have a new collection suitable for my girlfriend?"
Chu Yang was still surprised that he agreed to purchase without even asking the price, and now he even wanted to buy jewelry for her?
"No, you didn't even ask the price! Miss, may I check how much is that jewelry set?" Chu Yang asked the assistant.
"We currently have a promotion, it's $8,888,000."
Chu Yang looked to Chi Yan. Chi Yan clasped her hand tightly, took out a card. "No worries. I have money."
Chu Yang: ....Alright, since the one paying isn't complaining.
The shop assistant swiftly took out the new necklace collection and Chi Yan immediately tried it on Chu Yang. Noticing her bare earlobes, he then asked "Do you have matching earrings for this too?"
"Yes we do." The shop assistant nodded and recommended a pair of earrings. "This pair suits your girlfriend the most, dainty and subtle without being too flashy."
Chi Yan nodded and passed his card to the shop assistant. "Please help me package them together."
"Of course. Would you like the earrings and necklace to be worn now?" The shop assistant asked.
Chi Yan nodded and helped Chu Yang put on the earrings.
In the end, the total came up to more than $10 million.... the new necklace and earrings alone cost more than $1 million.
As they left the jewelry shop, Chu Yang touched the necklace on her neck and looked at Chi Yan. "Why did you suddenly want to buy me such an expensive gift?"
Chi Yan hugged her as they walked on. "Because I wanted to buy it for you, so I did. Alright, let's go for dinner first. Shall we have fish with pickled cabbage tonight?"
As Chi Yan guided her along, Chu Yang counted off with her fingers. "You've bought me meals many times, treated me to eat a lot, bought me a wrist chain, now a necklace and earrings too. And I earned a lot because of you too. Seems like I haven't done anything much for you yet."
Chi Yan suddenly stopped and looked at her gently. "What do you mean nothing? You saved my life, don't you remember? Besides, isn't it natural to buy things for your girlfriend?"
Chu Yang felt he made sense, but still wanted to treat Chi Yan better in future. Relationships should be mutual after all.
