Chapter 245 - 157: Too Much Hostility Isn’t Good

Chapter 245: Chapter 157: Too Much Hostility Isn’t Good

The more the young salesman listened, the more envious he became. ’Why can’t I ever meet a girl this wonderful?’

’Just how outstanding must her boyfriend be to have won over such a great girl?’

’It’d be great to meet him and exchange some tips on picking up girls!’

...

After buying the necklace, the two of them headed to a teaware shop.

With the help of a clerk, they eventually chose a purple clay gongfu tea set.

Good tea sets were never cheap, and this one cost ten thousand yuan!

But Yan Xici didn’t show the slightest hesitation. In fact, she was worried it wasn’t good enough.

Beside her, Si Yingying kept urging her to spend rationally.

Even though it was a gift for her father-in-law and needed to be chosen with care, she truly felt for her best friend’s wallet.

After all, she no longer had her older sister to support her, so she had to think about her future.

Yan Xici, however, was all smiles.

She looked even happier than if she had spent the money on herself.

Once they had bought these things, the two girls went downstairs to the basement supermarket to get some health supplements.

They wandered around and around, finally picking out a full ten boxes of supplements: bird’s nest, walnut powder, calcium for seniors, and even some Melatonin. They basically bought everything they could find.

Si Yingying watched, her gut aching at the sight.

"Teacher Xiao really needs to see you on this spending spree!"

’Is this even shopping?’

’This is moving house!’

’There’s so much, they won’t be able to finish it in a year!’

Yan Xici pouted with an innocent look. "Even if he saw me, it would be too late~"

’She was determined to give them the best of everything!’

’Someone without in-laws could never understand how I feel!’

Si Yingying shook her head. "You’re so extra!"

As the two girls were talking, the phone in the pocket of Yan Xici’s shorts suddenly buzzed.

She quickly placed the things in her hands on the tiled floor before fishing her phone out of her denim shorts pocket.

It was a WeChat message.

She opened it and saw it was from Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran: Where are you guys now?

Yan Xici’s eyelid twitched. She shot Si Yingying a playful glare. "You jinx!"

’We were just talking about him, and here he is asking about me.’

However, to stop him from preventing her from buying things, Yan Xici decisively chose to lie.

Yan Xici: We’re looking at women’s clothes.

’Brother Xiao Ran told me this morning not to randomly buy things. If he knew, he would definitely stop me.’

In truth, there’s usually a reason behind a girl’s irrational spending. Although Yan Xici admitted she had bought a bit too much, she truly didn’t know what "Uncle" and "Auntie" usually liked to eat.

Everything looked good, so she had no choice but to buy it all.

’In any case, you can’t be blamed for being too generous.’

’At the end of the day, I just hope they’ll like it.’

Seeing her reply.

Xiao Ran felt the time was right. He decisively opened the car door, got out, and took the elevator straight to the second floor.

As for what to buy, Xiao Ran had already decided: a necklace.

Yan Xici’s neck was still bare.

When giving a gift, you either give someone something they don’t have and can use.

Or you give them something they’ll absolutely love.

She didn’t have a necklace, and she would like one very much.

...

By now, Yan Xici had pretty much finished her gift shopping. The two of them, carrying large and small bags, went to line up at the checkout.

There were only two people ahead of them, so she and Si Yingying waited in line.

She was just looking around when she noticed a row of contraceptives on a small shelf up ahead.

Okamoto, Durex, all sorts of brands were on display.

The girl seemed to think of something, and a blush crept shamelessly across her smiling face.

She clenched her small fists and bit her rosy lip, her face filled with embarrassment.

’Seriously, it’s back to that embarrassing question again!’

’To buy, or not to buy?’

’Don’t be fooled by how calm I looked picking out gifts for my mother-in-law and father-in-law just now.’

’In reality, what I’m most concerned about is Brother Xiao Ran’s... physical well-being.’

’If he really gets sick from holding it in like Si Yingying said, then I’ll be ruining his whole life!’

The more the girl thought about it, the more nervous she became, her slightly flushed face a picture of conflict and indecision.

That look of wanting it but not wanting it was truly something else.

Si Yingying followed her gaze and saw the items on the shelf.

Suddenly, she couldn’t hold it in—"Pfft!"

A laugh burst out of her.

To be honest, this was pretty exciting for her too. After all, no matter how mature she acted, she was still just a college student.

But seeing someone even shyer than herself, Si Yingying suddenly felt bold.

She put on a worldly expression and looked at her. "Hey, aren’t you going to buy some?"

Yan Xici was so flustered she nearly jumped out of her skin, wishing she could clamp a hand over her friend’s mouth.

"Keep your voice down!"

’There are so many people here! If anyone heard, I’d die of embarrassment!’

Si Yingying found it hilarious and retorted.

"What’s there to be shy about? Let me tell you, the first step is always the hardest. After the first time, the second time won’t be so nerve-wracking!"

"Even the ancients said, ’Food and sex are basic human nature.’ What’s there to be embarrassed about?"

The more Si Yingying talked, the more carried away she got.

Yan Xici covered her ears, her face bright red. She couldn’t bear to listen anymore.

She mumbled under her breath, "Stop, just stop..."

Seeing her bashful appearance, Si Yingying was very satisfied.

She shrugged. "Alright, I’ve said my piece. You think it over."

’Anyway, she believed that if you like someone, you should be together and do the things people in love do.’

’Although, she’d never bought this kind of stuff herself either!’

’But she really wanted to see her do it.’

’To have someone even more timid than you do something you don’t dare to do... just the thought of it was thrilling.’

Yan Xici bit her lip, squirming as she stared down at her little white sneakers.
