I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"You're nineteen, so how old is your boyfriend?"

He is twenty-three.

"You two are four years apart, how did you meet?"

"That's how we met, I'll tell you later." Bai Xiaoqi brushed it off, planning to go back and ask Chen Shuo to make up a story about how the two met.

Then she took out the bottle of milk tea from her bag and changed the subject, saying, "Try the milk tea I made now and see how it is."

"Okay, I'll try it." Anya took the milk tea, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and asked directly, "Is it made with green tea?"

"You can taste the difference?"

"Because it has a slight bitter aftertaste, green tea is hard to control. If you steep it for too long or the water temperature is too high, it will turn bitter. I remember telling you before that you should use black tea, why didn't you use it?"

"I thought all teas were pretty much the same." Bai Xiaoqi's impression of tea could be summed up in just five words: leaves steeped in boiling water.

But she hadn't expected there to be so many intricacies involved in tea. She silently made a mental note of it, knowing she'd have Chen Shuo do it when she got back...

Oh, I bought black tea online because my future father-in-law only drinks green tea.

"And your tapioca pearls aren't very good either. They're not chewy enough. Maybe you didn't put in enough tapioca flour, or maybe the water wasn't hot enough."

Bai Xiaoqi nodded. She felt that although the milk tea she made was quite delicious, it was still lacking something. She couldn't quite put her finger on what the problem was, so she asked Chen Shuo. He just kept nodding and saying that it was well made and tasted great.

After consulting with professionals, I suddenly realized that these were the problems.

"I think you should open a milk tea shop, no, a beverage shop. You'll definitely make money there," Bai Xiaoqi suggested. She felt that if it were her, she would definitely open a beverage shop, become a rich woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.

"I really enjoy researching and making all sorts of drinks, but if the goal is to make money, I'll lose interest."

Anya shook her head and continued, "When a person's hobby becomes their job, they will gradually get bored."

Bai Xiaoqi seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, she nodded and said, "My boyfriend said something similar."

It's my boyfriend again...

Anya briefly recalled that this girl would mention "my boyfriend" every three sentences.

When I watched her videos before, dozens of video titles were all about how her boyfriend was doing.

I initially thought it was just a gimmick, but now it seems it wasn't at all.

What kind of person is your boyfriend?

Why are you asking this?

"I'm just curious and want to find out."

"Oh..." Bai Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said, "He has two ears, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth."

"That's not what I was asking... Let's go eat at that restaurant, their teppanyaki is pretty good."

The two girls went into a barbecue restaurant not far away. In the crowd behind them, Chen Shuo lifted his baseball cap up a little. He still felt uneasy and secretly followed them out.

So far, Xiao A Miao's meet-up trip seems to be going well. At least from a distance, the two seem to be chatting and laughing, though it's unclear what they're talking about.

"Anyway, in my opinion, maintaining a relationship is tiring and troublesome. I'm a lazy person, I hate trouble, so I'm too lazy to date, and I don't want to date. Besides, I'm still young, no need to rush, I'm only 2..."

At this point, Anya couldn't continue. The girl in front of her was younger than her; she was only nineteen.

"You asked me why I don't have a boyfriend? This is the reason: I'm too lazy to date."

"Oh."

Although Bai Xiaoqi disagreed, she did not refute it, but simply nodded and said "Oh".

"I thought you were going to argue with me and say things like how great being in a relationship is." Anya picked up a piece of grilled meat with her chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce from the dry dish, and put it in her mouth.

The girl in front of me clearly enjoys being in a relationship, which is contrary to my own views.

“My boyfriend said that everyone has their own pursuits and different lifestyles, so there’s no need to argue. If we argue, it might backfire and make everyone unhappy.”

"Does your boyfriend often preach these kinds of principles to you?"

"Yes, he often talks to me about all sorts of principles."

"Now that you mention it, he seems like an old pedant to me?"

Anya looked up at the ceiling and described the image that popped into her mind: "Wearing glasses, square-faced, looking very serious, always spouting all sorts of道理 (principles/truths)."

"He wasn't wearing glasses, and his features weren't square; he didn't look serious at all."

Bai Xiaoqi shook her head, Chen Shuo's face appearing in her mind, her eyes involuntarily curving upwards. She wondered what he was doing at home, and whether he was thinking about her.

"Then I really want to meet him."

"What do you want with him?" Her eyes, which had just curved into a smile, snapped open, flashing with wariness.

"What do you think I should do?"

Anya was amused by her. The more nervous and vigilant the girl was, the more curious people became about what her boyfriend was like.

Chapter 151 Is This Even Possible?

Anya laughed so hard she was shaking, while Bai Xiaoqi frowned and stared at her, feeling that when this woman laughed, she exuded a kind of energy that she herself did not have.

She had long, wavy chestnut-brown hair, wore a light, sheer dress, and had a curvaceous figure. Her high heels jingled as she walked.

Men seem to like this, and maybe even their own dog would.

Thinking of this, she became even more vigilant.

After laughing for a while, Anya pursed her lips and said, "I just wanted to see what he looks like. You're so nervous. Do you have a photo? I'd like to see one."

"I wasn't nervous."

Bai Xiaoqi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, took out her phone from her backpack, flipped through the photo album, finally picked out a picture, and turned the screen to show it to her.

"That's what it looks like, two eyes and a nose, nothing special to see."

As she was saying this, she prepared to put her phone away, but Anya quickly reached out to stop her, "What's the rush? I haven't seen it clearly yet, let me take another look."

"Did you see it clearly?"

"Yes, it's definitely not what I imagined."

Anya leaned back in her chair, took a sip of her milk tea from the water bottle next to her, winked at her, and said with a smile, "He's the kind of guy who's very sunny and handsome. No wonder you treasure him like he's something special. You'd better keep a close eye on him and not let some flashy, cheap woman steal him away."

"He won't."

Bai Xiaoqi put her phone back in her bag. Ah Gou likes her so much, he definitely won't like anyone else, and no one else can steal him away. Besides, speaking of seductive and slutty women, the woman in front of her is quite like that.

The skirt was so short, and she was wearing pointed high heels. If she were to add black stockings, it would be a perfect match.

Anya was completely unaware that she had been labeled a seductive and cheap woman. She simply put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, took out a small lipstick mirror from her bag, and began to touch up her makeup.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaoqi felt it was even more similar. She had never worn makeup and didn't know how to do it; at most, she would use face wash and hand cream.

"What do you want to do after dinner?" Anya asked, pursing her red lips after applying lipstick.

"go home."

"Why don't we go shopping and look at some clothes? This mall has clothes on the first and second floors. I was thinking of having us take a look together."

"Don't you think clothes are expensive in malls?" Bai Xiaoqi asked back. How expensive are clothes in malls? She buys all her clothes online.

"I just look but don't buy."

"What are you looking at if you're not going to buy anything?"

"Look at these beautiful clothes!"

Anya brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and continued, "If you see clothes you really want, you can open Taobao and use the identification function to find the exact same one and buy it. Not only is it cheaper this way, but you also feel like you've saved a lot of money, and you won't feel guilty about buying clothes."

"!!!"

Ah Miao was shocked; she never expected such a thing to happen.

"Shall we go for a walk together? We still have plenty of time."

"...Wait until I finish eating."

Bai Xiaoqi hesitated before nodding. An Ya across from her was clearly the type who would be full after a couple of bites, while she felt like she had only eaten half a meal.

She always follows the rule of eating a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a light dinner. Now it's lunchtime, so she's going to eat her fill.

A dozen minutes later, the two paid their bill and went out, preparing to take the escalator to the second floor to look at clothes.

You can try on clothes in the mall, remember your size, and then buy the exact same one online. This not only saves you money, but also lets you know if the clothes really suit you since you've tried them on.

Bai Xiaoqi sorted out her thoughts and felt that this method was very reliable. Indeed, one is never too old to learn.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly felt like she was being watched again, and she couldn't help but turn her head.

She stood in the middle of the escalator, while Chen Shuo held onto the glass railing of the mall. The two met each other's gazes from a distance.

Their eyes met, Chen Shuo's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked away. Then he saw Xiao A Miao turn her head back.

"What are you looking at?" Anya turned around to look.

"nothing."

Bai Xiaoqi shook her head. This guy was indeed worried about her and had secretly come out to follow her.

She wrinkled her nose, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth up.

Shopping is a troublesome thing for women. The two of them visited several women's clothing stores in a row, adhering to the principle of looking but not buying, and left under the resentful eyes of the sales assistants.

As Bai Xiaoqi passed by a men's clothing store, she stopped and immediately noticed the white shirt worn by the plastic mannequin at the entrance.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Shuo seems to wear mostly T-shirts and other casual, loose-fitting clothes. I don't think I've ever seen him wear a shirt like this.

The mannequin is about the same height as him; it would definitely suit him well and look great on him.

She thought about the scene for a moment, then walked over there. Anya, who was beside her, seemed to want to say something but hesitated. However, seeing that she was almost at the door, she could only follow.

Bai Xiaoqi pointed to the shirt and asked the sales clerk, "How much is this shirt?"

"Two thousand eight." The shop assistant replied indifferently, as if he didn't care.

"..."

For some reason, after hearing the price, Bai Xiaoqi suddenly felt that it wasn't quite right, and that it was fine for him to wear a T-shirt every day.

“This is a brand store, and the clothes inside are all very expensive,” Anya explained quietly from the side, something she had been meaning to say earlier.
