80: Meet the girl at the fish shop
Chen Xiangbei left the Omega specialty store carrying 9 watches.
Everyone passing by cast envious glances, assuming anyone who could buy so many watches at once must be wealthy and influential.
After leaving the Omega specialty store, Chen Xiangbei went to the mall's navigation map to see if there was an outdoor goods store.
He wanted to buy some sun protection gear to wear during his graduation trip.
The destination for the graduation trip was in the southernmost part of the country, which belongs to a tropical climate zone.
Summer there is the hottest time of the year with the highest temperatures, and failure to take sun protection measures can cause severe skin damage.
Looking at the floor map, most of the displays on the clothing floor were in foreign languages, which he couldn't understand at all.
He could only choose stores with Chinese names to look at.
Finally, he chose a relatively familiar outdoor sports brand with a Chinese name—Decathlon.
Decathlon has a certain level of popularity online, but their prices are not very friendly to students.
Now, well, it's just okay.
He went up to the third floor and arrived at the Decathlon specialty store.
The scale of this offline specialty store was quite good, with a store area of about 1000 square meters.
There were quite a few customers in the store, and the sales assistants had a very good service attitude.
The most important thing he valued when buying things was the service attitude; if the service attitude was poor, he wouldn't even glance at the store.
He walked into the store and grabbed a shopping cart at the entrance.
He went to the men's section and found the sun protection series area.
The first thing he saw was sun protection clothing.
Sun protection clothing includes sun protection tops and pants, sun protection hats, sun protection masks, sun protection gloves, sun protection glasses, and other sun protection gear.
As a man, the main thing was to prevent sunburn; whitening effects were not necessary.
So he only took sun protection tops and pants, hats, and glasses, and didn't need the others, using magical defense to replace them.
He found sunscreen and took a few bottles of SPF50+ sunscreen and a few bottles of sunscreen spray.
These were the 'magical' sun protection products with the highest sun protection level and the most ideal sun protection effect.
After picking and choosing for a while, he was almost ready to go to the cashier to pay.
Just as he turned around and prepared to walk away.
Suddenly, a pleasant and melodious voice, like a yellow warbler leaving a valley, reached his ears.
"Hey! Handsome Brother, could you please wait a moment? Could I trouble you to help me get that hat on the very top?"
The voice seemed to carry an irresistible magic, causing him to involuntarily stop and look towards the source of the sound.
He saw a familiar and beautiful girl standing behind him, looking at him with anticipation.
However, as their eyes met, both their expressions turned to surprise, and then they laughed in unison.
It was as if fate had already arranged this encounter, making one sigh at the wonder of destiny.
It turned out that this graceful young girl was none other than Ouyang Shengde's cherished daughter!
He recalled that afternoon, sunlight dappling on Baiyun Lake, the shimmering water reflecting the bustling urban life.
And at that time, they had met once in a fish shop at Baiyun Lake Market.
"What a coincidence!"
They both said this simultaneously.
The moment the girl's eyes met his, it was as if an invisible force spread through the depths of her heart.
It was an indescribable feeling; through her eyes, it seemed possible to see the hidden emotions and thoughts deep within.
However, in this brief exchange of glances, there was a clear hint of avoidance and evasion.
Her eyes flickered, like a startled bird searching for a safe place to rest.
Chen Xiangbei seemed to notice the change in her expression and spoke.
"You just said there was something you wanted to get? I'll help you."
"Oh... oh... I wanted to get the hat on the very top, but I can't reach it," she said somewhat awkwardly.
Chen Xiangbei smiled at her, walked over, reached up, and took the hat down for her, handing it to her and saying, "Here you go."
"I've finished buying most of what I need and am going to pay. If there's anything else you want that you can't reach, you can ask a sales assistant to help you."
"Thank you~! I know!"
"Then I'll be going now. I'll come find you at your dad's fish shop sometime."
Hearing Chen Xiangbei say he would come find her, her heart began to look forward to it, and she said happily, "You must remember to come find me!"
"I will remember, bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye~"
The young girl watched his tall, sturdy figure gradually move away, and for a moment, her eyes were lost in thought.
Deep within her heart, a strange energy seemed to be breaking free from its cocoon.
She tried hard to recall the scene from just now, as if to paint it into a picture and imprint it in her mind.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Why is my heart beating so fast when I see him again? I feel like I can't breathe."
The young girl murmured curiously.
She continued shopping and bought everything she needed for the day.
Just as she was about to go to the cashier, she suddenly remembered something and shouted.
"Oh no! I forgot one important thing!"
"I forgot to add his contact information!"
"Wuwuwu~"
When she hurried to the cashier, Chen Xiangbei was already gone.
Feeling a bit disappointed, she paid and went home.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiangbei had already finished paying and was in a luggage store.
Regarding this second encounter with the young girl, he didn't feel too much.
He just thought the young girl had a pretty good personality, somewhat simple and not pretentious.
Plus, she was the daughter of a business partner, so he felt they had a good connection.
He liked dealing with people who were simple-minded and not scheming; it didn't require much thought and was quite interesting.
He thought to himself: I'll find time to have a deeper chat with her later.
The luggage brand he chose was called "Rimowa", a globally renowned luxury luggage brand.
Both its craftsmanship and quality are at the forefront of the industry.
It is the preferred luggage for many celebrities and artists.
It is also a special partner brand of Hollywood; many cases used in movies are specially manufactured and provided by this brand company.
This graduation trip would definitely require bringing a lot of luggage, and his old luggage was old and worn, no longer matching his taste.
So, he decided to buy a few suitcases to keep at home for future travel.
As everyone knows, men exclusively love black, white, and gray, so he also chose his luggage from these three colors.
But gray suitcases weren't very appealing, so he only chose black and white styles.
To avoid worrying about luggage in the future, he decided to buy enough at once.
He asked the sales assistant to get one black and one white suitcase of each size from 24 inches to 30 inches.
