The salesgirl who had helped Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian as they wandered all over the store started to get a bit impatient. The two had stared at each other for about six to seven minutes already. The salesgirl grumbled with some annoyance to her co-worker, “I’m glad that they’re so in love, but couldn’t they do this at home? The rest of the world still needs to operate!”
Some of the people in the crowd who had gathered to observe Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian started to get bored since the duo didn’t do anything else other than stare at each other, so they started to leave. Those that remained were joined by other passersby, and they started gossiping among themselves, pointing and discussing Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian’s action, or rather, lack of action.
As the sound of discussion heightened amid the crowd, the workers inside the shop were considering calling the security. It was then that Song Qingchun concluded her list. Su Zhinian, I’d like all those things that I’ve listed.
With that sentence, Su Zhinian suddenly understood. She had suddenly stopped moving earlier because she wanted to use his superpower to go shopping.
Su Zhinian raised his other hand to caress her face and nodded readily. “Of course.”
The two statues had finally moved. The workers inside the shop looked at them with anticipation. Are they finally going to leave after blocking the road for such a long time?
The crowd who thought they could witness a kissing scene turned away, shaking their heads with disappointment.
Just as the crowd dispersed and the workers turned their attention back to the other customers, Su Zhinian pulled Song Qingchun not out of the shop but back into the shop. The crowd turned back with confusion while the workers paid attention to them out of the corner of their eyes while they served other customers. And then, everyone witnessed a curious yet exciting scene…
An incredibly handsome man pulled an expressionless woman along as they walked around the shop. They stopped before each counter, and the man raised his slender finger to point at several items. This continued for about ten minutes before he told the salesgirl, “Wrap up all the items that I’ve just pointed and deliver them to…”
Then, he pulled out a name card from his pocket and handed it to the salesgirl. “…this address.”
They didn’t really count how many items Su Zhinian had ordered, but the two cashiers spent at least half an hour before completing the order. Su Zhinian took less than thirty seconds to sign the receipt.
Such an easy spender… but that was not the point. The point was… the young, pretty girl who stood beside him had maintained an expressionless face throughout. She didn’t acknowledge him with a glance or a thank you after the man bought items that amounted to the price of almost a small apartment for her.
However, the man didn’t seem the mind the lack of reaction. If anything, as they were escorted out of the shop like the valued customers that they were, the man would turn occasionally to whisper gently into the ice-woman’s ear.
