42: Okay, okay~ I got it, you gotta find a bargain, right?
"Fine, fine, fine~ You managed to Score a Bargain, alright? Sister understands."
Chen Kai said with a smile, looking at the conceited girl in front of him as if she were an idiot.
"Is your WeChat worth a thousand yuan? You want a thousand yuan just to add a friend?"
"It's just like when you've given gifts, watched a movie, and eaten your fill, only for you to say you want to go home. Is there nobody to eat with me, or am I unable to give away gifts?"
"What do you mean by that?"
The College Girl standing beside Chen Kai was stunned, staring at him in disbelief.
How could he treat her like this? Wasn't he trying to pursue her when he helped her pay the bill? And he only bought one?
There were still 8 others that he had broken, costing six hundred and thirty-two yuan, which was truly unaffordable for a college student at the end of the month.
Chen Kai directly ignored The College Girl and smiled at the Counter Sister, "Then I'll buy one of the broken bottles; I mainly want to scan the code and try the scratch-off."
"As for the others she broke, they have nothing to do with me. We aren't close."
The Counter Sister nodded politely, her attitude completely different from how she treated The College Girl.
"Alright, sir. Please scan the code to pay, and you can just take any one."
Chen Kai paid readily and picked out a foundation bottle cap that was emitting a faint glow from the Counter, which had a lot of spills on it.
He casually wiped the bottle cap, which had already separated from the bottle, with his hand and scanned the code with his phone.
"Huh? What the hell? It seems like I won?"
Chen Kai was stunned for a moment and handed his phone to the Counter Sister to take a look, "This should be the first prize, right?"
The Counter Sister was visibly stunned, confirming twice that what was displayed on Chen Kai's phone was indeed the first prize.
"Yes, sir! You won the first prize. Your luck is too good, isn't it?"
"Do you need me to cash it out for you? Or should I put the black and white bandages into a gift box for you?"
Chen Kai frowned and thought about it; cashing it out would only be four thousand yuan, which was slashed to one-tenth of the original price.
It would be better to... give it to Liu Yunshang.
"Wrap it up."
"Alright! I'll go pack it up for you now."
The Counter Sister called over another Counter Sister to pack a large gift box of black and white bandages. After collecting the bottle cap from Chen Kai, she kept her eyes on The College Girl, afraid that she might run away if she wasn't paying attention.
"You... you just won the first prize? The first prize can be cashed out for four thousand yuan!"
The College Girl's eyes darted around, and when she wanted to use her phone to scan and scratch the prize, she was stopped by the Counter Sister.
"Miss! He paid before scanning to enter the lucky draw. If you want to enter the draw, pay first!"
The Counter Sister said coldly, having no affection for the woman at all.
"Bu-but I don't have that much on me right now."
"Brother~ Can you help me pay for it? Anyway, you've already won the first prize. If you give me these black and white bandages, I... I wouldn't mind trying to be with you."
The College Girl was clearly a little flustered; she only had five hundred yuan left on her.
She looked at Chen Kai and said in an affected, squeaky voice.
Chen Kai turned his head to look; he really could run into anyone. Is the word "Brother" really worth that much?
And she wants him to give her the gift box just to consider being his girlfriend?
Overall assessment: this is a British person named Maddy.
He took the gift box from the Counter Sister and turned to leave.
The College Girl got a bit anxious and wanted to chase after Chen Kai, but she was grabbed by the saleswoman, "Miss, if you want to skip out on the bill, I'm going to call the police to handle it."
"I... I didn't want to run! I'm calling my roommate right now!"
...
Chen Kai sat on a chair to the side watching the show, watching The College Girl make six or seven calls before she managed to borrow a little over a hundred.
After paying and starting to scan the codes, seven out of the eight bottle caps resulted in "Thanks for participating," along with one 79-yuan sample of body lotion.
When she lost her composure and, disregarding her dignity, used her hands to scoop the broken foundation from the Counter into a plastic bag, he felt extremely satisfied.
Chen Kai only wanted to say one thing, "You deserve it."
Carrying the HR black and white bandages gift box, he walked out of the mall and rode his little electric donkey, in a fairly good mood, towards Qingshan Residential Complex.
In less than twenty minutes, the little electric donkey stopped downstairs at Liu Yunshang's place.
He pulled out the key and went upstairs with the black and white bandages gift box.
He knocked on the door twice, but there was no response from inside the room.
Chen Kai simply took out the key to Liu Yunshang's front door.
This was given to him by Liu Yunshang on the day he borrowed money, telling him he could come to check on her at any time.
He opened the door and entered the room, discovering that there was indeed no one inside.
Even Liu Yunshang's bedroom was empty.
He changed into slippers, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and casually placed the HR gift box on the table.
"Click."
"Phew~"
With the cigarette in his mouth, just as he was about to send a WeChat message to Liu Yunshang to ask where she was, he heard the sound of the door lock turning.
Before Liu Yunshang could even enter the door, a pleasant female voice came from outside.
"Little brother, you're here so early. I just got off work. Do you miss your sister that much?"
Chen Kai was stunned, "Sister Liu, are you talking to me?"
"Pfft... who else would I be talking to besides you?"
Liu Yunshang stood at the entryway, carrying a bag of groceries, changing her shoes, and casually hung her sunglasses on the rack by the door.
She took off her sexy high heels and put on cute little orange cat slippers.
"Huh?! Did you install surveillance cameras in your house?"
Chen Kai was stunned, looking around suspiciously.
"No."
"Then how did you know I came?"
"Isn't your ride worth hundreds of thousands parked downstairs? I really can't tell the difference between other people's Electric Scooters, but I can recognize your warhorse."
Liu Yunshang finished changing her shoes, not even bothering to take off her hat, and headed straight for the sofa, plopping down beside Chen Kai.
Her flaming red lips left a faint trace on his mouth.
"Tell me, did you miss your sister?"
Liu Yunshang raised a beautiful, jade-like hand and rested it on his shoulder.
"I did, Sister... How about... holding back for now?"
Chen Kai swallowed his saliva; he had the illusion that he was an appetizer.
"Hehe~ Hmm? Wait, these black and white bandages, did you buy them for me?"
Liu Yunshang's gaze was suddenly drawn to the black and white bandages gift box placed on the table.
A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Yeah!"
"If I remember correctly, it costs forty thousand yuan a box, right? Don't spend so much money; I have everything, I don't lack these things."
Liu Yunshang's face flushed slightly, and her expression gradually became bashful.
"Is Sister this important in your heart? You didn't even think about buying yourself something, but you bought such an expensive thing for Sister?"
She simply snuggled into Chen Kai's arms, acting very intimate.
"Alright, next time you are not allowed to buy something so expensive. It's enough if you just give me the thing you have the most of."
Chen Kai smiled, "It's not expensive. I didn't specifically buy it for you; I just happened to Score a Bargain at the mall."
"Oh? How did you Score a Bargain?" Liu Yunshang asked, half-believing and half-doubting. One could tell from her eyes that she was deeply skeptical.
"I just bought an HR foundation sample, and the Counter Sister said I could enter a lucky draw. The first prize was this black and white bandages gift box."
Liu Yunshang giggled, revealing a mysterious smile.
He really is a stubborn little brother.
"Fine, fine, fine~ You won it in the lucky draw, alright~ Sister knows, Sister understands."
