Fang Yusheng thought about that scene and curled his lips; he was looking forward to it.
“Then I won’t take my cane. It will embarrass you.” He leaned behind her ear, his voice low and seductive like a demon’s. “You can hold my hand for the rest of the day.”
A date without holding hands was not a date. It was called walking along the road.
Fang Yusheng was just beside her ear. When he spoke, his breaths entered Qiao Jiusheng’s ear.
She felt itchy, and her heart skipped a beat.
Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head and glanced at Fang Yusheng, cursing him for being a male demon.
When they got home, the two of them went straight to their room.
Qiao Jiusheng showered first, followed by Fang Yusheng. After knowing Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Yusheng had changed his habit of bathing in the morning and shifted it to in the night. When he came out of the shower, he was wearing a black bathrobe. He rarely wore short clothes these years, and his skin was fairer than ordinary men.
Under the black bathrobe, one of his fair legs was straight and long. He was very thin, but he still had muscles. His calf muscles were well-proportioned and a little sexy.
Qiao Jiusheng took a few more glances without batting an eyelid.
Fang Yusheng tied his belt as he walked to the bed. When he saw Qiao Jiusheng looking at him with her phone in her hand, he walked over to her and knocked her on the forehead. “Benefactor, it’s a crime to lecherously watch someone.”
Qiao Jiusheng pursed her lips and lowered her head to play with her phone. Her fingers kept pressing the screen.
Fang Yusheng curiously leaned over. When he saw that she was browsing Taobao, a shopping app, he took a few more glances at it.
“This, it only costs 399 yuan?”
Fang Yusheng stared at the clothes on the screen in shock.
On the screen was a navy blue linen long-sleeved shirt. Fang Yusheng had a shirt similar to this. He remembered that he had spent more than 4,000 yuan on that shirt. Yet, the shirt was so cheap on the Internet, costing only 399 yuan.
Fang Yusheng felt cheated.
Qiao Jiusheng sat aside, and Fang Yusheng sat down beside her.
“It’s a replica,” she said.
Fang Yusheng snatched her phone and carefully looked at the clothes. The more he looked at them, the more he felt exasperated. These clothes were the same as his clothes!
If he had known that a certain treasure was so cheap, Fang Yusheng would have bought it.
Qiao Jiusheng saw his expression and understood what he was thinking.
“These are all high-quality imitations. Yours is the real deal. You’re the Young Master of the Fang family. If you wear a replica, won’t others laugh at you?” Qiao Jiusheng felt that Fang Yusheng was quite useless.
Fang Yusheng said, “Buy them, and let me see how they are different from my clothes.” If they were the same, he would not mind wearing a replica in the future. Of course, Ah Sheng wanted to wear the real one.
Qiao Jiusheng glanced at him. Her gaze seemed to say, “Are you crazy?”
Qiao Jiusheng’s phone did not have Fang Yusheng’s fingerprints stored on it, so he could not use it. He returned the phone to Qiao Jiusheng. “Buy them. Buy them for me to take a look at them.”
Qiao Jiusheng could not win in a war of words with him, so she still bought them.
“When you see the real thing, you will know that there is a reason for its price.” With that, Qiao Jiusheng input her address in Taobao and made the payment.
Qiao Jiusheng casually looked at the other items in the app. Fang Yusheng closely followed the screen and was surprised to see that someone was selling gourd babies. “This is a Calabash brothers toy, right?” He had seen Calabash brothers cartoon when he was young and had an impression of this.
“No, it’s a real gourd baby.” Qiao Jiusheng tried to fool him.
Fang Yusheng did not believe her. “Really?”
“Really.”
Fang Yusheng eagerly watched her play and felt that it was meaningless. He took out his phone, opened Taobao, registered his account, and went inside the app to shop.
Qiao Jiusheng turned off her phone and lay down. She then looked at Fang Yusheng, who was still shopping on the app, and casually asked, “Are we going to buy couple outfits tomorrow?”
Fang Yusheng immediately searched for couple outfits in the search bar.
He casually scrolled down, and pictures jumped out one after another.
“There are so many clothes on the Internet. We can buy them online. It’d be nice and cheap.” After downloading the app, Fang Yusheng had opened the door to a magical world. He could not bear to sleep as he browsed it. “Look at this. The Korean version of couple outfits only cost 69 yuan for two pieces.” Even the mop at their home was more expensive than this.
Qiao Jiusheng’s head hurt.
She sneered and looked at Fang Yusheng as if he were an idiot. “Buy it then.” She would only regret it if she had bought it.
Fang Yusheng immediately added all the couple outfits he liked into the shopping cart.
Seeing that he was still shopping, Qiao Jiusheng went to sleep.
Fang Yusheng browsed for a long time and felt exhausted. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past two o’clock.
No wonder women like to shop. It feels really good.
He planned to rest first and continue shopping tomorrow.
Before turning off his phone, Fang Yusheng bought everything in the shopping cart. He spent more than 70,000 yuan.
Before falling asleep, he happily thought: Buying so many things for 70,000 yuan is worth it.
***
Fang Yusheng had bought a lot of things. Most of them were from the southern region, and there were also many from Binjiang City.
Tongcheng Delivery soon delivered the items to their doorstep.
The next day, when Aunt Jin was cooking lunch, the landline in the living room rang.
She wiped her hands and picked up the phone. The security guard at the door was on the other side of the phone.
“There’s a delivery for Young Master,” the security guard said.
Aunt Jin acknowledged that and asked Qi Bufan to get the delivery.
Qi Bufan could not be bothered to drive the scooter. He walked to the guard and took the parcel. The sun seemed a little bigger today. He looked at the big sun in the sky and was puzzled. What did Sir buy for it to be so light?
After a while, the guard called again.
Aunt Jin picked up the phone and informed Qi Bufan to pick up the parcel.
Qi Bufan made one trip, two trips, three trips…
He decided not to run anymore. In the end, he drove a scooter and filled it with parcels.
After finishing his lunch, Fang Yusheng went straight to the collection room. When he went downstairs for dinner at night, he was quite surprised to see packages piled up in the living room. A smile appeared in his eyes, which were filled with anticipation. “Here so soon?”
Aunt Jin saw the parcels and curiously asked, “Young Master Yusheng, what did you buy? Why are there so many parcels?”
Fang Yusheng asked her to get the scissors.
Aunt Jin took two scissors, handed one to him, and gave the other to Qiao Jiusheng.
Fang Yusheng opened the parcel and said to her, “I bought a lot of things. They’re all useful.”
Opening the first box, Fang Yusheng took out a fruit peel knife and said to Aunt Jin, “This is for cutting fruits. It only cost three and a half yuan.”
Aunt Jin also felt that it was cheap. At this moment, Qiao Jiusheng looked up and lightly said, “The delivery cost eight yuan.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Jin pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “You can buy one at the supermarket for nine yuan. The quality is better than this. This costs more than ten yuan altogether.”
Fang Yusheng was not affected by those words. He took out a few things that he thought were very useful, but they were useless to Aunt Jin and Qiao Jiusheng. “Yes, the gourd baby is coming.”
Qiao Jiusheng looked up and meaningfully smiled at the box in Fang Yusheng’s hand.
Fang Yusheng shook the box in his hand and was a little surprised. “Why is it so light?” He did not hear any sound coming from the box. He suspected that it was a very small Calabash brothers’ kids toy.
Curious, Fang Yusheng opened the box and saw—
It was empty…
Fang Yusheng looked at Qiao Jiusheng with a lost expression. “Where are my Calabash brothers?” Why is the Calabash brothers toy I bought for 99 yuan missing?
Qiao Jiusheng stood up and walked to his side. She patted his head as if she were looking at a mentally challenged child. “You don’t understand this, do you? You’re filming Six Babies. Six Babies can turn invisible.” The joke of being invisible Six Babies had long been outdated. She did not expect Fang Yusheng to be so naive.
Fang Yusheng narrowed his eyes. “So I spent 99 yuan to buy air?” His heart instantly ached.
“I told you, it’s invisible.”
Fang Yusheng took out his phone and planned to report the dishonest merchants.
Qiao Jiusheng snatched his phone away and said, “You don’t have to report it. This shop is a charity shop. Everything you buy will get donated to charity as charity funds. Who can you blame for not seeing the introduction of the goods below?”
Fang Yusheng fell silent.
After a while, he continued to open the parcels, but he had calmed down. The anticipation in his eyes had disappeared.
After opening the bag, Fang Yusheng stared at the pile of useless things on the ground and the ‘six babies’ floating in the air with a dejected expression.
“I won’t use Taobao anymore.” He had paid 70,000 yuan for a lesson. Fang Yusheng would never forget it.
Qiao Jiusheng found it funny. When she saw that Fang Yusheng was unhappy and had his head lowered, she felt that he looked quite pitiful.
“The city has many traps. You’re more suitable to stay in the village.” Qiao Jiusheng touched Fang Yusheng’s cheek and whispered into his ear, “Don’t be unhappy. I’ve prepared a gift for you. Do you want it?”
Fang Yusheng was finally interested.
“What is it?”
“Upstairs.”
Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows. “You’re not lying to me?”
“No.”
“A room?”
“Yeah.”
Fang Yusheng stood up and said to Aunt Jin, “Aunt Jin, please call the person who collects the waste products and sell these boxes tomorrow morning.” The boxes could still be sold for more than ten dollars. After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs.
Aunt Jin stared at the pile of poor-quality clothes on the ground and asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Madam, these clothes…”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “Deal with them. If you can give them to someone, do that. If you can’t, treat them as rags.”
“Okay.”
Aunt Jin’s hometown was in the village. These clothes were good stuff to bring back to the farmers, who worked hard.
“Let’s eat.”
Qiao Jiusheng called Qi Bufan over for dinner. Aunt Jin packed her things and found it strange that Fang Yusheng did not come down. “Madam, aren’t you calling Young Master Yusheng?”
“Ignore him.” As Qiao Jiusheng said that, her right lip suddenly curled up into a mysterious smile.
***
Fang Yusheng went upstairs and entered his room. He searched around but could not find the so-called gift.
He thought that Qiao Jiusheng was really playing with him.
He ran downstairs and saw her eating. Fang Yusheng’s face darkened. “Are you playing with me?” He pulled out a chair and sat down beside Qiao Jiusheng. Aunt Jin handed him a pair of chopsticks. He took them but did not start eating. He only stared at Qiao Jiusheng with his dark eyes.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at him and said as she ate, “I didn’t lie to you when I said that I have a gift.”
“I didn’t see it.” Fang Yusheng’s tone was a little dangerous.
Qiao Jiusheng temporarily put down her chopsticks and tilted her head to look at Fang Yusheng’s eyes. A hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. “Look again, it’s really in the room.”
