"Uncle, it's been a pleasure working with you, come on, give me a high five."
Wiggling her hips, Shu Lulu giggled as she approached Chu Ge and raised her hand.
Under Tan Jingjing's utterly astonished gaze, Chu Ge, feeling a bit speechless and amused, lifted his hand. The palms, one big and one small, clapped together mid-air with a "snap."
"Uncle, let's go, let's check out another store."
After the high five, Shu Lulu grabbed Chu Ge's hand again and, with a joyful stride, headed toward the door.
Tan Jingjing finally realized something was off. What were these two talking about?
Normally, if your beloved item is snatched away, you'd be full of dismay, right? But why are the two of them so happy?
While Tan Jingjing was thinking this, Shu Lulu's voice also floated over.
"Tan Jingjing, take a good look at the stuff you spent two thousand bucks on. I'm sure you'll love it, haha. I think you should stop calling yourself Tan Jingjing and change it to Tan Bighead. Bye now!"
Shu Lulu waved at Tan Jingjing and winked, then left the women's clothing store with Chu Ge.
Frowning tightly, Tan Jingjing immediately headed for the counter, grabbed the exquisite shopping bag, and took out its contents one by one.
Bunny ears, bodysuit, fishnet stockings, bunny tail.
With each item she pulled out, Tan Jingjing's eyes twitched, and her frown deepened.
When she had looked through everything, her eyebrows nearly knitted together, her forehead forming a deep "川" character, with her temples slightly swollen and throbbing.
Apparently, she hadn't disgusted Shu Lulu as intended but was once again severely pranked by Shu Lulu. She spent two thousand yuan on a set of things that were utterly useless to her and even made her feel sick!
She always liked wearing those ladylike clothes, and she simply despised this type of clothing.
"Refund! I want a refund!"
"I'm sorry, as I mentioned earlier, these products cannot be returned or exchanged once sold, unless there's a quality issue."
Tan Jingjing's face turned even more unsightly.
After arguing with the sales clerk for several sentences, Tan Jingjing could only grab the set of clothes she hated with gritted teeth, stuffing them messily back into the bag in embarrassment and anger, and stormed out seething.
However, as she stepped out of the store, Chu Ge and Shu Lulu were nowhere to be seen in her line of sight.
"Ahhhh! I'm so angry! Shu Lulu! This isn't over between us!"
She threw the bag onto the ground in a fit of rage, stomped her foot, and then with a "snap," the heel of her right high heel broke, causing her to slip and tumble to the ground.
In another women's clothing store, Shu Lulu was selecting clothes, clutching her stomach, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten up.
"Uncle, can you guess what Tan Jingjing is doing now? Oh, I can't, just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt, wahahaha!"
"That depends on whether two thousand bucks is a lot to her or not. Forget about her, we'll enjoy our own shopping."
"Mm!"
Shu Lulu nodded, her gaze lingered over a set of lingerie, then finally settled on a leopard print dress. She gave Chu Ge an inquiring look.
"Uncle, let's go with this set, you're not allowed to say no again."
Even though Chu Ge thought this set wasn't quite suitable for Shu Lulu, he had already promised her and had turned her down once, so he just nodded this time.
"It's up to you."
"Hehe, then this set it is."
Chu Ge paid 358 yuan, and Shu Lulu happily accepted the nicely packaged bag from the sales clerk.
"Uncle, thanks for your generosity. I really like this dress." Gleefully stepping out of the women's clothing store, Shu Lulu patted the bag in her hand and giggled.
"Wearing it for the college entrance exam might help you get into a good university." Meeting Shu Lulu's satisfied smile, Chu Ge teased.
Shu Lulu shook her head with a laugh and said, "I'm not wearing it for the college entrance exam."
After waiting a few seconds and seeing Chu Ge showed no intention of continuing the topic, Shu Lulu grabbed Chu Ge's arm, leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, I'll wear this dress when you visit my house, just for you to see."
Chu Ge's eye corner twitched, filled with speechlessness, he turned to meet her bare, youthful face full of vitality, and pulled his hand from her grasp.
"Get! Is your skin itching or something? What nonsense are you talking?"
"Hehe, uncle, do you dare say you weren't tempted at all?"
"I..."
"Alright, don't explain, I get it, reserved, yes, reserved."
Chu Ge wordlessly flicked Shu Lulu on the forehead. No matter what he said, Shu Lulu would have a bunch of responses ready, so he simply chose to say nothing.
They wandered around the third and fourth floors without getting anything more, and then headed up to the fifth floor.
What they didn't expect was to run into Tan Jingjing again in a computer store. She was holding two bags and wearing a pair of obviously new high heels.
Enemies often cross paths, and ghosts linger on; these words perfectly described Shu Lulu's feelings at this moment.
This time, however, Shu Lulu did not choose to avoid Tan Jingjing by going to another store. Instead, she wanted to see if Tan Jingjing would still continue to pester her after suffering such a big loss before.
As for Chu Ge, he was indifferent. In his eyes, Tan Jingjing was just another passerby, nothing more.
The truth was, although Tan Jingjing was even more displeased upon seeing Shu Lulu, she didn't have the confidence to provoke further and simply focused on selecting a laptop at the counter with a sullen face.
Surveying the laptops on display, Chu Ge quickly chose one he liked. Shu Lulu, seeing this, immediately volunteered to start bargaining with the shop owner.
Shu Lulu's bargaining skills were certainly not to be underestimated. Despite her limited knowledge of computers, her gift of gab was impressively sharp.
She alternated between acting cute, whining, and pretending to be poor, employing every trick in the book. Within a few minutes, she had the owner both exasperated and amused to the point of no return, ultimately receiving a very low price and a promise of extra freebies.
Seeing that the owner was unwilling to compromise any further, Shu Lulu knew they had reached his limits. Satisfied and somewhat smug, she turned her gaze to Chu Ge.
"Young man, your little sister is really ruthless. I've seen people who can haggle, but not like her. This laptop has never sold for this price here. You mustn't tell others that I sold it to you for 6,300 yuan, alright? Help me bring in a few more regular customers?"
Chu Ge smiled, said, "Thanks," and took out his wallet. But when he counted his cash, he found he only had 5,800 yuan.
While Chu Ge counted the money, Shu Lulu was watching from the side. When she saw the money was short, she immediately took out her wallet from her tasseled bag. She had only about two hundred yuan on her, and together with Chu Ge's money, they were still short of about three hundred yuan.
"Boss, look, this is all the money we have. We're really sincere about buying it, and we're not asking you to lower the price by much, just make it 6,000, can you do that?"
Shu Lulu genuinely liked the laptop Chu Ge had picked and pleaded with the owner again.
"Young lady, really can't lower it more. I'm already not making any profit from you. After all, I'm running a business; you can't expect me to lose money, can you?"
Chu Ge also thought the laptop was really good and was about to pay by card when Tan Jingjing's voice came through first.
"Boss, over here. I want this Apple laptop priced at fifteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan."
Looking at Chu Ge and Shu Lulu who were scraping together money but still couldn't afford the laptop, Tan Jingjing was finally satisfied, deliberately stating the price of the laptop she was buying with a provocative gaze.
"Why don't you two discuss this and see if you want to pick something else, or figure out another way, okay?"
Leaving them with an apologetic look, the shop owner walked over to Tan Jingjing.
Tan Jingjing was pleased, but Shu Lulu became a bit upset.
"Uncle, look at how smug she is. What's so great about buying an Apple laptop? The lousy Apple system can't even run mainstream online games; it's just a show-off piece. Does she really have to announce it so loudly? So annoying."
Chu Ge chuckled nonchalantly and patted Shu Lulu's little head, "Feeling jealous again? Aren't you afraid of becoming flat like her?"
Seeing Chu Ge still smiling joyfully, Shu Lulu felt the cheerfulness rubbing off on her as well. Her face broke into a smile once more, and she puffed out her chest, nodding along, "Hmm, true."
The shop wasn't big, and every word from Chu Ge and Shu Lulu was overheard by Tan Jingjing.
The little pride she had felt was quickly replaced by annoyance. Even though she knew they were provoking her on purpose, she couldn't ignore it.
When she saw the shop owner glance at her flat chest, she got even more upset. So what if her chest is small? Do small-chested people not have rights?
"Keep your eyes straight, where are you looking?"
The owner chuckled awkwardly and shifted his gaze away from Tan Jingjing's chest. "Miss, aside from this laptop, is there anything else you need?"
Tan Jingjing pulled a bank card from her bag and slapped it on the counter with a "snap." "No need, just checkout!"
The owner didn't reach for the card and scratched his head apologetically. "Well, miss, I'm sorry. The card machine is broken. Can we settle in cash? There's a bank and ATM downstairs, very convenient."
Tan Jingjing frowned, initially considering buying a laptop from another store. However, when she noticed Chu Ge approaching and saying something to the owner, she immediately changed her mind.
After all, this was a perfect opportunity to stomp on the two of them, and she wasn't about to miss it.
