I don’t want my youth campus life to be a Shura!

But now, because of Gu Ruoxue, she had to keep a certain distance from Su Cheng to stabilize the situation.

Then the two of them gently touched each other's palms, and gradually tightened them; finally, their fingers were intertwined and tightly connected.

Just like that, after a small setback, they returned to their original state in an intimate way that was hard to understand, whether intentional or unintentional.

Chapter 456 Gift

The bus arrived at its destination——

Wangfu District.

This is a high-end fashion lifestyle center built at great expense, bringing together world-renowned luxury brands.

There are so many top brands and unique designs that it's hard to ignore the prices.

The two walked into the mall hand in hand, and shuttled between many brand stores. Their extraordinary temperament still attracted attention even in this shopping paradise full of handsome men and beautiful women.

Li Guanqi understood why Su Cheng came here——

It must be because Xuanying gave him a luxurious gift on his last birthday, and he now wants to buy a gift of equal value in return.

Otherwise Su Cheng would never set foot here.

"Do you know what Xuanying gave you?"

Li Guanqi suddenly asked.

She wanted to help with some reference.

"I don't remember. The gifts everyone gave were not signed. I don't know what the official name is."

Su Cheng shook his head and looked at the display window not far away: "But I think the watches in the store over there are very good."

Li Guanqi looked in the direction she pointed and indeed found a watch store with exquisite decoration and novel and unique design. All the goods were high-end, with the lowest price starting from several thousand yuan; there were also many classic limited edition styles from well-known brands.

"Give me a watch..."

Li Guanqi considered the possible meaning of giving a watch as a gift: it means cherishing every minute and every second and symbolizes lasting friendship.

After making sure there was no other special meaning, he nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Then, Su Cheng dragged her to the store. But Li Guanqi let go of him after a slight struggle, and whispered, "It's better not to hold hands."

After all, Su Cheng was buying it for Xuan Ying; if the two of them were mistakenly thought to be a couple by the store clerk, it might lead to an awkward situation during the trial wearing process.

"Yes, I know."

Seeing this, Su Cheng did not insist, but nodded and walked forward; while Li Guanqi followed silently beside him, returning to a state of low presence.

The two soon walked into a watch store.

This luxurious watch store is brightly lit, with a wide range of watches shining brightly in the display cabinets, and various exquisite timepiece works of art on display.

As Su Cheng walked into the store, a well-dressed, lightly made-up, fresh-looking female shopping guide immediately noticed him. With her keen intuition and observation of customers' temperament and behavior, she judged that Su Cheng was extraordinary.

"Sir, do you need to pick out a watch?" She walked up to him enthusiastically and asked Su Cheng with a smile.

"Yes, I want to choose a watch for a female friend. Could you please recommend one to me?" Su Cheng responded with a smile and nodded.

His gentle and polite attitude made the female shopping guide relax her guard: "Sir, you are so humble. Please follow me. I will select a suitable gift for you."

The three of them walked to a display case, and the clerk gently took down a silver-white wristband women's watch from the shelf. After showing it for a while, he began to introduce it: "If you prefer a gorgeous and exquisite design style, then this watch will be a timeless classic choice..."

At the same time, Li Guanqi is concentrating on checking the shell, mirror, pointer and other parts...

The selling price is: 130,000.

After seeing the price tag, Li Guanqi couldn't help but look at Su Cheng beside him hesitantly.

Is this price enough to empty his coffers?

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng did not show any concern or think that the watch was expensive. After listening to the introduction, he picked up the watch without hesitation and examined it in detail.

In this regard, Li Guanqi chose not to interfere; after all, this was Su Cheng's birthday gift to his friend.

His own choice should be respected.

But then her expression suddenly changed...

The clerk then said, "It is crafted with gold and silver, symbolizing purity and strength accompanying the heart; the diamond embellishment increases its precious meaning, just like the morning dew dripping with love..."

Be alert when watching chess.

So, Li Guanqi gently reached out and pinched Su Cheng's arm.

Su Cheng was brought back to his senses by this sudden action. His eyes quickly flashed from the watch to the clerk, and he said in a calm but slightly dissatisfied tone: "Change it."

The clerk was obviously a little stunned, but her professionalism helped her recover quickly. She carefully took back the watch in her hand, and with a professional smile on her face, she continued to introduce: "Okay, then, we also have a smart and beautiful watch in our store. This watch uses a white ceramic base, and is matched with a silver..."

As he spoke, the clerk walked to the display cabinet and took out a watch that cost more than 50,000 yuan.

Li Guanqi once again looked at the watch, the design was indeed fascinating, elegant and pure. However, this wonderful feeling was soon broken.

"This co-branded watch is limited to 520 pieces!" The clerk spoke again, interrupting Li Guanqi's thoughts.

520.

Element awareness.

Li Guanqi couldn't help but frown. She stretched out her finger again and poked Su Cheng gently.

"Change to another one."

Su Cheng looked at Li Guanqi and nodded to the clerk, "Okay, then take a look at this one..."

Li Guanqi didn't wait for the clerk to finish speaking, and poked Su Cheng again.

He spoke again, "Change to another one."

The clerk was obviously a little embarrassed, but he still accepted it with a smile, "Okay, then take a look at this one."

Then, the clerk spoke again: "Look, there is a verse engraved on the back of this watch in smooth and passionate handwriting. This is the most beautiful promise under the emerald starry sky, affectionate and romantic."

Li Guanqi's heart was alerted again. However, just when she was embarrassed to reach out and poke Su Cheng again, Su Cheng seemed to have awakened in advance and said in advance: "It's for a friend, don't put any love in it."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Li Guanqi looked relieved as if a spring breeze had blown across his face, and the frown on his brows instantly relaxed.

In the end, Su Cheng chose a women's quartz watch that cost 48,000 yuan.

What makes it special is that the back of the watch can be signed and engraved, which is a special service of their store.

Well, this is the Su Cheng signed commemorative edition, one of a kind in the world.

But in the end, when Su Cheng left his signature sample, the clerk recognized him and insisted on taking a photo with him and signing. After some effort, Su Cheng finally got away from the clerk, and the most important point was that the watch would be personally engraved by the craftsman and delivered to his house at noon tomorrow.

If this special and thoughtful watch is given to Xuanying, I think she will like it very much.

A good surprise indeed.

"What about you?"

Su Cheng held Li Guanqi's hand again and asked her, "Have you thought about what to give her?"

"Yeah." Li Guanqi nodded slightly, and then suddenly said, "I'll go to the bathroom first."

Afterwards, Li Guanqi quietly returned to the watch store again and bought the same watch that Su Cheng had just bought. He paid for it, left his signature, and then walked out very satisfied.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the store, he ran into Su Cheng head-on, and his little plan was discovered.

This made her both upset and embarrassed.

Chapter 457 Going Home

Li Guanqi had no ill intentions in her heart, she just simply wanted to give Xuanying the same gift, which was why she went shopping quietly alone.

However, she did not expect that her actions would be caught by Su Cheng.

"Sorry." There was a hint of regret and sadness in Li Guanqi's eyes, and she didn't dare to look directly at Su Cheng.

However, to her surprise, Su Cheng smiled and chuckled, "As expected, you chose to come here. There are too many people in the public restroom."

"Huh?" Li Guanqi didn't react for a moment.

"Wait over there for a while. I need to go to the restroom too." Su Cheng took her hand and walked into the watch shop, whispering, "I remember there's a reception hall inside. We should be served tea and snacks after we buy something, right?"

"That's right..." Li Guanqi wanted to say something, but Su Cheng had already let go of her hand and walked straight towards the bathroom, getting farther and farther away.

Now Su Cheng's actions were like those of a slow-witted male protagonist, as if he had not seen through her little thoughts at all.

Then, Li Guanqi found a clerk.

"How can I help you?" The clerk recognized Li Guanqi at a glance and asked enthusiastically.

"I want to rest here for a while." Li Guanqi replied indifferently.

"Then please follow me." The clerk guided Li Guanqi to the sofa area. After she sat down, the clerk served her tea and fruit snacks.

Li Guanqi raised her eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was still early, a little after five in the afternoon, so she simply lay lazily on the sofa and waited.

Only a few minutes later, Su Cheng walked out of the bathroom, but was unexpectedly surrounded by several shop assistants who asked for his autograph.

Apparently, the previous clerk had spread the news that Su Cheng came to the store to buy a watch.

Moreover, people shopping outside also heard the noise inside and came in to ask for autographs and take photos.

This episode provided Li Guanqi with an opportunity to observe Su Cheng. Even when he was surrounded by people after using the restroom, he was not annoyed. He behaved elegantly and at ease in the crowd, smiling at every clerk and fan who asked for his autograph, without any annoyance.

Li Guanqi looked at him and nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that he now seemed to be able to maintain his composure in any situation.

"Awaited."

The corners of Su Cheng's mouth rose slightly, revealing a warm smile, and then he gently sat down next to Li Guanqi.

He crossed his legs elegantly, looked at the surroundings calmly, then turned to Li Guanqi and said, "This place has a nice environment, let's take a rest here."

Li Guanqi nodded in agreement, her eyes falling on a plate of fresh tangerines on the table. "Okay."

She responded softly, then picked up a tangerine from the table and peeled it carefully. After peeling it, she handed a slice to Su Cheng, "Try this, it's for you."

"Thank you." Su Cheng took the orange slices, gently pulled down his mask, and took a small bite. He closed his eyes, savored it comfortably for a while, and then immediately admired: "The sweetness is just right, very delicious. You should try it too."

Li Guanqi smiled, gracefully lifted the remaining citrus segment, took a light bite, and then savored it carefully as if he was tasting a precious wine.

After tasting it, she handed Su Cheng another slice of tangerine, her eyes full of anticipation.

Su Cheng took the tangerine and asked with a smile: "How is it? How does it taste?"

Li Guanqi nodded and answered simply: "It's delicious."

Su Cheng smiled again and continued, "The quality of the oranges provided by this store is really good. It may be purchased from a special place. We can ask them where they purchased them, and we can prepare some at home to entertain guests."

Li Guanqi nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Li Guanqi and Su Cheng were chatting and laughing in this quiet corner.

About ten minutes later, they stood up from the comfortable sofa and prepared to leave. Before leaving, they asked the waiter about the address of the citrus purchase and learned that it was nearby. They secretly made a note of this information.

"Can eating the tangerines in this store make you immortal?"

Su Cheng walked into the orange shop and looked at the orange varieties that cost hundreds of dollars per pound. He couldn't help but be amazed and complained to Li Guanqi speechlessly.

"Well, the price is too high." Li Guanqi, who was standing nearby, also expressed the same sentiment.

The oranges they had just eaten in the watch shop, although they both thought they tasted good at first, they did not expect the price to be so high.

This directly exceeded their expectations.

"Let's go." Su Cheng turned around first, holding her hand and walking out the door. "The oranges at the fruit shop near my house are just as delicious, and they're only three dollars."

"Okay." Li Guanqi followed her obediently.

They walked outside, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them, but it brought an inexplicable melancholy to Li Guanqi. She didn't know why, today's sunset always seemed to carry a sad atmosphere.

They were on the bus, preparing to return to Su Cheng's apartment. They sat in the same seat they usually sat in before, but this time there was a clear difference from before -

They held each other's hands tightly throughout the whole process, just like a couple in love. Even when they sat on the seats, they still did not loosen their grip on each other's hands, as if this was their mutual dependence and trust.

"Aren't you worried?"

Li Guanqi suddenly fell into deep thought.

"What are you worried about?" Su Cheng asked back.

"You know what I'm talking about."
