Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

In the end, the boy's mother realized she was in the wrong, so she didn't say much and simply paid for the cake.

Lu Xing sighed, picked up the cake that had been badly deformed, and wandered back to the milk tea shop.

Zhao Xiu's milk tea wasn't ready yet, and he was sitting in the corner scrolling through his phone.

Lu walked over and spoke in a low, somber tone:

"Hey sir, wanna have some cake?"

Zhao Xiu paused in his movements.

When he looked up, his face was filled with shock.

"Why are you back again?"

Lu Xing put the cake on the table and gestured towards the box with his lips.

"Look, it's become like this."

"You can't exactly give a girl a cake like this, can you?"

Zhao Xiu glanced at the cake, and his expression immediately became somewhat subtle.

"Waaah..."

He stared at the shape of the lump and couldn't help but exclaim:

"How did you manage to... smash it into such a perfect shape?"

Lu Xing plopped down next to him, looking utterly helpless.

"To be precise, I didn't fall."

"I was hit by someone."

Zhao Xiu's eyes widened suddenly.

"ha?"

"Have you been compensated yet?"

Lu Xing nodded.

"We lost money."

"That's alright..."

The cake itself is large, and the layers are quite high, so it still feels quite substantial.

Lu Xing wasn't particularly interested in sweets, so he pushed the cake towards Zhao Xiu.

"Want some? I'll treat you to cake for free."

Zhao Xiu didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to break the cake box open.

Then, he remained silent for a few seconds.

"I actually went, and the shape..."

He looked up at Lu Xing with a complicated expression.

"You might as well just say you want me to be the eighth brother."

Lu Xing nodded calmly.

"Hey, Eighth Brother, are you going to eat?"

Zhao Xiu: "..."

A moment later, he picked up the fork.

"I'll eat it."

I ordered milk tea, and there were free mini cakes too—why not take advantage of that?

Anyway, Zhao Xiu wasn't that picky about the appearance of the food; as long as it tasted acceptable, that was fine.

He took a bite and put it in his mouth, his eyes immediately lighting up.

"Hey, you know what, it actually tastes pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xing went to the shop assistant and asked for a spoon, scooped out a small piece, and tasted it.

"It seems the staff at that cake shop weren't lying to me; the cake really does taste good."

Before the two had eaten more than a few bites, Zhao Xiu's milk tea was ready.

He sipped his milk tea and ate his cake, a happy expression gradually appearing on his face.

"Xingzi, you're truly my lucky star."

Lu Xing's lips twitched slightly.

"Heh, then you really are my jinx."

"Hey~ How can you talk like that?"

Zhao Xiu smiled nonchalantly and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, how's it going at Jiang University?"

Lu Xing leaned back in his chair and shrugged.

"Whatever happens in university, that's what it is."

A dark line seemed to hang down on Zhao Xiu's forehead.

"What kind of answer is that...?"

He persisted, asking again:

"How's life? How's the food? How's the girl over there?"

Lu Xing couldn't help but complain:

"Is the last one the one you really want to ask?"

Zhao Xiu instantly wore a look of utter despair.

"I didn't have a single relationship during my three years of high school!"

"I finally got into university, but all the girls at the police academy are..."

Lu Xing raised an eyebrow.

"All?"

Zhao Xiu seemed deflated, his shoulders slumped.

"They're all really strong."

"The few cute and adorable girls were instantly snatched up by the handsome upperclassmen or classmates."

Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Isn't there one that suits your taste?"

"Could it be that you're too scared to pursue her?"

Zhao Xiu immediately looked at him with resentment.

"Look at your face, you've forgotten the pain of being single just because you have a girlfriend."

"They're not that easy to win over!"

He let out a long sigh.

"If you're not careful, you might end up in some book."

Lu Xing nodded thoughtfully.

"So, if you say that, it means you do have a goal in mind?"

Zhao Xiu was taken aback.

He then didn't try to hide anything and readily admitted it:

"yes."

"She has a great personality and a super sweet smile."

At this point, he pursed his lips again.

"But she's now known as a young policewoman."

"How could it possibly be my turn..."

Lu Xing smiled.

"Keep it up, what if?"

"Even the most beautiful woman is still just a person. Try to win her over with your sincerity."

"Besides, you're dressed quite well. Weren't you just laughing at me for not understanding fashion?"

Zhao Xiu glanced at him sideways.

"You talk as if you can actually get the school beauty."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment.

He then smiled nonchalantly, lowered his head, and took a sip of tea through the straw.

He definitely didn't manage to win over the school beauty...

Strictly speaking, it was actually the school beauty who won him over.

It's been N hours since I last saw Shen Qingyi, and I miss her.

To avoid escalating the topic further, Lu Xing decisively changed the subject.

Why do you always wear a hat?

Zhao Xiu didn't hesitate and took off his baseball cap.

"It's a school requirement, and I have a buzz cut now."

He glanced down at his outfit and shrugged.

"Look at me dressed like this, with a buzz cut, doesn't it look weird?"

Lu Xing looked him up and down.

"Actually, it's not bad. It's not that bad."

As he spoke, he chuckled and teased:

"Besides, isn't this also a way to attract attention?"

"Maybe that girl likes your style."

Zhao Xiu put his hat back on and ate the last bite of cake.

"Don't describe people's preferences in such a strange way..."

He stood up and tidied up the cake box briefly.

"Alright, I still have to work, I'm leaving now."

"Thank you for the cake, it was really delicious."

"If you don't mind the trouble, you can go back and buy another one."

Lu Xing nodded.

"I'll definitely buy it again."

"But I feel that just one cake isn't enough, so I'm thinking of buying her something else."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiu put one hand on his hip and casually suggested:

"How about we check out the Bichon Frise boutique in Taihe Shopping Mall?"

Lu Xing was taken aback.

"...A pet shop?"

"What pet store?"

Zhao Xiu gave him a speechless look.

"It's a boutique that sells all sorts of little things."

He explained:

"The items inside are pretty good, and there's a discount promotion for Christmas today."

After saying that, he looked down at his watch and was immediately startled.

"Ah, I have to go now, I'm going to be late for work."

"Bye-Bye!"

Lu Xingchong waved to him.

"Bye-Bye."

After watching Zhao Xiu leave, Lu Xing sat in the shop for a while before picking up his lemon tea and getting up to leave.

……

Hair clips, combs, dolls, aromatherapy diffusers, nightlights...

Lu walked through the store called "Bichon Frise Boutique," his eyes scanning over the rows of merchandise.

The customers of these boutiques are mostly women, so the products in the store are obviously more geared towards women.

Standing alone in such a girly shop, Lu Xing felt a little uncomfortable.

He subconsciously moved to a corner, trying to avoid the girls shopping in groups in the central area.

Just then, he suddenly saw a foot warmer with a hamster pattern on the shelf.

Lu Xing picked it up and glanced at it.

"Isn't this just a heated floor mat?"

That being said, the hamster pattern is quite cute.

Knowing that the girl's hands were always cold, Lu Xing didn't hesitate much and put the foot warmer in his pocket.

He then walked around the store again, trying to see if they had any gloves.

Unfortunately, this boutique doesn't seem to sell it.

Lu Xing then took the hamster foot warmer to the front desk to pay the bill.

The female shop assistant had a polite smile on her face.

"Hello sir, do you have a membership card?"

"……No."

The female shop assistant continued to smile.

"We have a Christmas event today. Scan the QR code to become a member and get 68 free when you recharge 188!"

Lu Xing's lips twitched slightly. Such standard sales pitch.

However, he eventually scanned the QR code in front of the counter.

After all, it clearly says "Members get 10% off" next to it.

With today's Christmas promotions, some items are up to 20% off, making it quite a good deal.

Presumably because these foot warmers don't sell very well, they were also included in that category of "some products".

After paying, Lu Xing carried the foot warmer and left the boutique, heading towards the mall exit.

He glanced down at the hamster-shaped foot warmer in his hand and couldn't help but laugh.

No, he absolutely cannot give Shen Qingyi gloves.

Otherwise, wouldn't we have one less reason to warm her hands in the future?
