19: Can I hold you while you watch a horror movie?
Chen Kai nodded and agreed.
He had earned sixty thousand today, so he could afford to forget his roots for a day.
He had previously spurred himself on not to forget his roots just because he had daily intelligence, but there was no helping it; the system gave him too much.
A daily income of sixty thousand made him realize that he would have to spend ten hours under the scorching sun just to earn three hundred.
His mindset had already undergone a subtle shift.
" Mmm! As expected of Sister's good little brother. Eat up, then accompany Sister out for a stroll later. It's boring to shop alone, and I haven't been out in a long time."
Liu Yunshang raised her jade-like hands to stroke Chen Kai's hand, a trace of affection revealing itself in her eyes.
" Oh right, little brother, what do your family members do?"
Chen Kai smiled helplessly. " My family are farmers."
" Then, do you have knowledge regarding Appraisal?"
" No, I don't. Where did Sister Liu see that from?"
Chen Kai was slightly stunned. This woman seemed quite clever. Had his many times Score a Bargain made her notice something?
" Oh~ I was just asking casually."
A strange look flashed in Liu Yunshang's eyes, and she gradually became convinced in her heart that Chen Kai might be a big shot in the Antique Circle.
The kind who was very proficient in all sorts of bargains.
Half an hour later, Chen Kai had finished every last bit of food on his plate.
He pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth and gave Sister Liu a thumbs up. " Sister Liu, your cooking is really good."
" Isn't it? Then I'll clean up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. You go smoke a... uh, post-meal cigarette. I'll take you shopping later."
Chen Kai gave a sound of acknowledgment, always feeling like he was being treated as prey.
He walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette.
" Puff."
Just as he finished his cigarette, Liu Yunshang had finished cleaning the kitchen and changed into a beautiful purple backless dress.
The first glance Chen Kai took made him feel that Brother Xu was right; purple really did have a lot of charm.
Her snowy white shoulders and a large expanse of her snowy white back appeared even fairer against the backdrop of the purple.
Wrapped in the backless dress, her entire body formed an S-shaped curve, voluptuous.
" Let's go." Liu Yunshang wore sunglasses, walked to Chen Kai's side of her own accord, and naturally hooked her arm through his.
Her heartbeat involuntarily sped up a little, and her expression was slightly stiff.
" What's going on? Why did my heartbeat speed up? Where is that usually cold and aloof female CEO? Hurry and recover!"
Liu Yunshang muttered to herself constantly, and after calming down for a long while, she finally managed to settle her mood.
Chen Kai was led downstairs just like that. Honestly, it had to be said, girls really do smell nice.
Upon reaching downstairs, Liu Yunshang pulled the car keys for the porsche panamera out of her Hermès bag and got into the driver's seat.
Chen Kai simply sat in the passenger seat.
As Liu Yunshang stepped on the gas pedal, Chen Kai finally learned what it meant to be a female driver.
Her driving was way too wild!
...
As a red porsche panamera parked at the mall entrance, Liu Yunshang slowly pushed open the car door, took Chen Kai's hand, and walked into the mall to go shopping together.
" Little brother, accompany me to browse LV, okay? Do you like the LV brand?"
Following the direction of Liu Yunshang's finger, Chen Kai looked into the LV store. The styles and such were all decent.
" Alright, today's time is all Sister Liu's."
Since he didn't have anything to do today anyway, and a beauty had extended such a warm invitation—the flowers were in full bloom, why shouldn't he appreciate them?
" Mmm! Good little brother!"
The two walked into the LV store. The Counter Sister recognized Liu Yunshang at a glance and enthusiastically trotted all the way from the Counter to Liu Yunshang's side.
" Sister! You haven't come shopping in a long time. Is this... Brother-in-law? Brother-in-law is so young and handsome. You two are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman, a golden boy and a jade girl. I don't envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I envy Sister Liu every single day."
The Counter Sister joked teasingly.
Liu Yunshang just responded indifferently and pointed at a trench coat.
" Take that trench coat out of the display case for me to see."
" Alright, Sister, please wait a moment."
Chen Kai watched the Counter Sister take the trench coat out of the display case and curiously glanced at Liu Yunshang.
Her background wasn't simple.
But thinking about it, it made sense; a female CEO worth millions being a regular LV customer was normal.
" Little brother, do you like that shirt?"
Chen Kai's head turned in the direction Liu Yunshang's finger pointed, and a brown shirt priced at twenty-four thousand came into view.
He paused for two seconds and quickly shook his head.
" That means you like it, right? Xiao Li, wrap up that shirt and the trousers too."
" Alright, Sister!"
Ten minutes later, Liu Yunshang walked out of the store carrying three LV shopping bags.
She then turned and led Chen Kai into the Hermès store.
...
After a bout of crazy spending, the two were carrying bags full of items.
The kind that Chen Kai couldn't stop no matter how hard he tried.
Liu Yunshang always had strange reasons to persuade him.
" These pants make you look bigger."
" Sister likes this piece of clothing; can't you satisfy Sister just this once?"
" These crocodile skin shoes match my high heels very well; they must be bought."
" This tie has other uses, let's buy it."
" You don't want it? No way? Can a man say he can't? Sister wants to give it to you, buy it, and you still don't want it?"
Chen Kai was a bit helpless; these bizarre excuses were impossible to guard against.
Buying him so many things must have cost over a hundred thousand.
However, accompanying a girl shopping was truly too tiring; it was more tiring than delivering food for a day.
Fortunately, after this shopping trip, he had somewhat upgraded his gear, even if he wouldn't usually wear these clothes.
" Little brother, it's almost dark. It's rare that we came out, why don't we go watch a movie?"
" I know a fairly private Private Cinema. The environment is quite good, and Sister even has some wine stored there."
" Didn't you say today's time is all mine? Then accompanying me to watch a movie is fine, right?"
Liu Yunshang tilted her head up, her eyes curving as she gradually leaned closer to him.
" Mmm... Alright, Sister Liu."
Since he had eaten her food and taken her gifts, Chen Kai had no way to refuse, and it wasn't an excessive request anyway.
It's not like she told him her cat could do backflips.
He'd just treat it as a rare chance to relax.
The two drove to a Private Cinema that looked very... private.
It also flickered with pink light from time to time; it had quite the atmosphere.
Separated by only a wall next to the cinema was a high-end hotel.
The two walked into the Private Cinema together. Liu Yunshang opened a large private room, which had a big screen in front.
" What should we watch? Little brother, do you like watching horror movies?"
As soon as Liu Yunshang sat in her seat, she couldn't wait to take out the remote control, and the player screen paused on a terrifying ghost face.
" I'm fine with anything!"
Chen Kai naturally wasn't afraid of these things; his courage was incredibly big.
When delivering food, many situations were exactly the same as scenes in horror movies; his courage had been trained over a long period.
Even if he really saw Sadako, he would have to say, "Thanks for nature's gift."
Of course, if he really saw one, he would still have to run; those were two different matters.
" Alright, then let's watch a horror movie. I'm a bit afraid to watch it. Little brother, can you hug me while watching? If we encounter a scary scene, just cover my eyes, okay?"
