After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Forget it.

Or should we let her actually eat the meat before telling her?

Once the little glutton gets addicted, there's no escaping it.

It was agreed that Lin Xuechun would pay for the meal.

She felt embarrassed when paying by scanning the QR code, as both meals she treated him to were noodles, and in total, Xi Chenzhou only spent a little over fifty yuan on her.

"Ahem, Xi Chenzhou, do you have any other favorite restaurants? I'll treat you next time..."

Having guessed why she said that, Xi Chenzhou was still in a good mood. "Yes, there is one, but it's not nearby. I'll take you there next time."

"Okay, by the way, I'm thinking of going to the nearby mall to buy something later. You... can go ahead if you need to."

"I'm fine with nothing, let's go shopping together."

"Okay, alright."

The mall was a ten-minute walk away. After leaving the noodle shop, the two strolled slowly along the street.

The weather was beautiful today. The sunset painted the sky pink, like an overturned watercolor palette, with the color spreading from the edges of the clouds.

The street food stalls lined the street one after another, selling fried skewers, grilled cold noodles, fried rice, and more. Groups of students waited for their meals in twos and threes around each stall. The sizzling sound of the teppanyaki grill filled the air with the aroma of various foods, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Lin Xuechun couldn't eat, but that didn't stop her from joining in the fun, glancing at every stall she passed.

Xi Chenzhou: "Want to eat?"

She shook her head. "I can't eat, I'm just looking. Is there anything you'd like to eat? It's on me."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something, smiled, and said, "You probably don't eat at these kinds of street stalls often, do you?"

When she smiles, her eyes crinkle and she has shallow dimples at the corners of her lips.

With rosy lips and white teeth, she was pure, delicate, and incredibly beautiful.

Xi Chenzhou felt a pang in his heart, and he glanced at her sideways. "I've been abroad the whole time, so I haven't had a chance to eat here. Any recommendations?"

"Oh, that fried rice is pretty good."

"Okay, let's try it together next time."

"It's not 'try it out,' it's 'try it out together.'" He said this while keeping his eyes on Lin Xuechun.

His gaze was so intense, it felt like it carried heat, making Lin Xuechun's cheeks burn. She shyly looked away, turned her head to hide it, and took two steps forward, pretending to be attracted by the stall in front of her.

"etc."

Lin Xuechun stopped and turned around, her eyes filled with confusion. Xi Chenzhou chuckled softly, stepped forward, and loosened the backpack strap on her left shoulder, gently pulling out a few strands of hair. "Your shoulder strap is pressing down on your hair."

"Now it's all right."

"Oh." Lin Xuechun raised her slender white fingertips slightly, shyly tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her face flushed.

He's such a detail-oriented person! With so many people and so much noise on the street, what is he even paying attention to?

How could she even notice that her hair was being pressed down by the bag strap?

The two continued strolling along the street.

Upon arriving at the mall, Lin Xuechun headed straight for Pop Mart.

Xi Chenzhou followed her into the store. He didn't usually pay much attention to trendy toys, but when he saw the huge rag doll displayed at the entrance, he remembered: "This trendy toy brand is very popular overseas."

When the conversation turned to these topics, Lin Xuechun became more talkative: "Are foreigners really fans of Labubu?"

"Hmm. Quite a few people buy it. Which IP do you like?" Xi Chenzhou, with his backpack slung over one shoulder and his jacket draped over his arm, glanced around the store's displays. It was much larger than stores overseas, and contained many IPs that couldn't be seen abroad.

Lin Xuechun pointed over there, "I've been into the My Little Pony and Skullpanda collaboration lately."

She walked over, and Xi Chenzhou followed her.

There were only three blind boxes left in the box in front of her. Lin Xuechun picked up each one and shook it, while also putting her ear close to listen to the sound.

Her little face was serious and focused.

Xi Chenzhou asked curiously, "Is there some special reason for this?"

Lin Xuechun: "Each baby has a different weight, so the sound they make when shaken is also different."

Xi Chenzhou: "Have you figured it out yet?"

Lin Xuechun shook her head awkwardly: "No."

Xi Chenzhou chuckled softly, watching her continue shaking, finding it quite amusing.

After shaking them one by one, Lin Xuechun finally picked one.

I took it to the counter to pay, then eagerly walked to the side to open the package. Before opening it, I put my hands together and muttered, "Please bless me to get Rou Rou, this time it has to be Rou Rou!"

There are six My Little Pony designs in total, and each one is incredibly cute.

She collected five, but she couldn't get the remaining one, Rou Rou, no matter what she tried.

I've already drawn several of the same items from the other draws.

After reciting the words, she tore open the seal, took out the bag containing the doll. The bag wasn't transparent, so she couldn't see inside. She pulled open the drawstring, but instead of looking, she closed her eyes and asked, "Xi Chenzhou, can you help me see what color it is?"

Xi Chenzhou glanced at it: "Blue."

"Huh?" She opened her eyes abruptly, her little face falling into disappointment. After glancing at the doll in the bag to confirm, she sighed, "I knew it, it's Rainbow Dash again. I already have two Rainbow Dash."

Xi Chenzhou: "Want to draw another one?"

Lin Xuechun shook her head: "Forget it, this is too expensive."

She has already spent over a thousand yuan to buy this.

Xi Chenzhou: "How much is one?"

Lin Xuechun: "159 yuan, while regular blind boxes are 69 yuan, enough for two. If I don't get it after another try, I'll be heartbroken."

"Let's go."

Lin Xuechun resignedly hugged her third Yunbao.

Xi Chenzhou called out to her, "Wait, I want to draw one too."

"Huh? You?" Lin Xuechun's eyes widened in surprise. "You want to smoke My Little Pony too?"

"Hmm." Xi Chenzhou nodded. "It feels pretty cool, kind of cyberpunk style."

"Okay, you can have it."

"You draw it for me."

"I?"

"Okay. Wait a minute, I'll go talk to the staff and get all six boxes replenished."

"Okay." Lin Xuechun stood there waiting for him. Xi Chenzhou went to communicate and said something to the shop assistant. The shop assistant looked at him with a lovestruck expression. His face really attracts people wherever he goes. Lin Xuechun looked away and browsed other IPs in the store.

Not long after, the shop assistant paid the full amount for My Little Pony.

Xi Chenzhou called Lin Xuechun over and told her to smoke.

"I've already paid."

Lin Xuechun was still a little nervous: "Which one do you like the most?"

Xi Chenzhou: "Either is fine."

Lin Xuewu was still a little uneasy: "What if I draw one you don't like?"

I like everything you smoke.

"..." Lin Xuechun blushed again.

She hurriedly turned around, grabbed a blind box, and asked, "Will you open it yourself, or should I help you?"

Xi Chenzhou: "You help me."

"Okay." Lin Xuechun opened the box without much pressure this time, since Xi Chenzhou said whichever one was fine with her.

After opening the bag, she naturally untied the drawstring and looked inside. Her face immediately lit up with disbelief: "Ahhh! Rou Rou?!"

"I actually won Rou Rou's lottery!!!"

In her excitement, she inadvertently revealed her true feelings. Realizing she had been too carefree and that Xi Chenzhou was still nearby, she hurriedly covered her mouth and glanced at him shyly.

Then I realized that this was something she drew for Xi Chenzhou. In principle, Rou Rou belongs to Xi Chenzhou!

Her excitement subsided instantly.

There was still a slight sense of loss.

Sure enough, the styles that people like end up going to those who don't.

Waaaaah...

"Here you go." Lin Xuechun touched Rou Rou's head and handed it to Xi Chenzhou with a pained expression.

This was the first time Xi Chenzhou had seen such a rich range of expressions on her face—excitement, disappointment, and heartache. He curled his lips into a smile and said casually, "What should I do? I think I like your Rainbow Dash even more."

"Oh? Really?" Lin Xuechun's eyes lit up immediately.

"Hmm. Can we trade? Fluttershy is for you, Rainbow Dash is for me."

Oh my god! Is this for real?!

Lin Xuechun readily agreed and immediately handed Rainbow Dash over, saying, "Great! Rainbow Dash is yours!"

"You know what, Rainbow Dash really suits you. Your backpack is black, and your clothes are black, so you need some blue to add a pop of color!"

She started talking non-stop, as if afraid he would change his mind.

Xi Chenzhou just thought it was cute.

He took Rainbow Dash and put it directly into his backpack.

Lin Xuechun, holding Rou Rou contentedly, didn't even notice that her shoulder was already pressed against Xi Chenzhou's arm: "Xi Chenzhou, let's go! We're so lucky today! I'm so happy!"

"Yes, as long as you're happy." Xi Chenzhou looked at their sleeves pressed together, his voice carrying a hint of casual indulgence.

After the two left, the shop's employees excitedly gathered together—

"Wow, that couple was so good-looking!"

"Not only is he good-looking, that guy is just too adorable! Do you know how he got his girlfriend to draw the 'Soft' card?"

"Huh? Tell me quickly! He chatted with you for ages, what did he want with you?"

"Can you imagine? He brought out six whole sets and asked me to find a way to take out each set of Rou Rou and rearrange them into a new set, then put it outside, just so his girlfriend could draw Rou Rou herself!"

"Wow, I love them so much! One set is over 900 yuan, six sets would be almost 6,000 yuan?!"

"That's right, and in the end they only wanted Rou Rou, and I can do whatever I want with the rest."

"My goodness, it seems all romantic types are born into wealthy families!"

"Don't be envious, we can't have that kind of luck. Didn't you see how pretty that girl who just opened the box was...?"

……

Lin Xuechun returned to her dormitory.

No one was in the dorm. Zhou Xinran was still out tonight. The two had texted each other today, and Zhou Xinran said she was planning to rent a place with Xu Yang outside, so she would be going back to the dorm even less often in the future.

Since Zhou Xinran started dating, she would often stay out of the dorm, and Lin Xuechun had gotten used to staying in the dorm alone.

Tonight we finally collected the whole My Little Pony set, and she was so happy that she hummed a song while taking a bath.

After taking a shower, I lay down on the bed.

She placed Rou Rou next to the pillow and picked up the fully charged phone.

My phone vibrated as soon as I unlocked it; it was a message from ksmk123.

【sweetie】

Should we do it?
