Chapter 583: Chapter 372: The Person Paying the Bill_3
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Fourth Middle School is quite wealthy now, you should suggest to the class teacher to give it a try."
Xue Yuantong immediately recoiled, looking evasive, "Let’s talk about that later."
...
Sunday afternoon, inside Jiang Ning’s room.
Xue Yuantong was playing a game, "Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, a big supermarket has just opened near our school. Want to check it out together?"
She had just seen classmates discussing it in the class group chat, clamoring to explore the supermarket together. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Jiang Ning asked, "Do you want to go?"
"Yes," Xue Yuantong counted how much spending money she still had.
"Alright, let’s go early in the afternoon."
Jiang Ning also liked to roam around supermarkets, especially when not short on money.
...
The supermarket was brightly lit, and in the snack section, the shelves on both sides were filled with a dazzling array of snack packaging, for reference only.
The air conditioning was on full blast, even making one feel chilly.
Dan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan walked among the aisles, checking out the assortment of snacks—chips, dried fruit, cured meats, chocolate, bread.
Dan Kaiquan had intended to carry a basket but couldn’t find one, so he had to push a shopping cart instead.
Guo Kunnan inspected the snacks on the shelves while searching on Taobao with his phone. Pointing to a box of biscuits, he exclaimed, "Damn, that’s a rip-off! The same thing on Taobao is 21 with free shipping, but they’re selling it here for 26."
Dan Kaiquan, expressionless, picked up the box of biscuits and tossed it into the shopping cart.
Guo Kunnan, feeling like he’d been conned, said in distress, "Brother Quan, Brother Quan, don’t let them trick you!"
Dan Kaiquan replied, "I’m willing to be tricked."
Guo Kunnan fell silent.
Whenever Dan Kaiquan encountered snacks he liked, he would throw them straight into the cart. Only such rampant spending could stir ripples in his stagnant heart, giving him a sense of what it meant to live.
Along the way, Guo Kunnan ran into Lu Qiqi from their class, who was with Jiang Yanan, another who had come to shop at the new supermarket that drew many Fourth Middle School students.
Guo Kunnan greeted, "Lu Qiqi, where’s your boyfriend?"
Lu Qiqi replied with displeasure, "We broke up."
Without a boyfriend, she had to buy her own snacks, and the quality of her life had dropped by two notches.
She urgently needed to find a new boyfriend to ease the financial pressure.
Lu Qiqi looked at the shelves, filled with many snacks she liked. She used to grab whatever she wanted, but now, she could only select carefully.
Suddenly, a tall and burly boy appeared from behind the shelves. Guo Kunnan spotted him and said, "Tianpeng, I thought you got lost."
They were boarding students. After Guo Kunnan had mentioned leaving the cafeteria, Yan Tianpeng had followed him, but they had not stuck together in the supermarket.
As soon as Yan Tianpeng saw Lu Qiqi, he approached with a fawning eagerness to greet her.
Lu Qiqi gave him the cold shoulder; she knew how stingy Yan Tianpeng was.
However, Yan Tianpeng was unexpectedly generous today. He pointed at the shelves and declared with authority, "Qiqi, pick whatever you like!"
Lu Qiqi’s eyes lit up.
Yan Tianpeng casually picked up a pack of spicy chicken legs, priced at 16. Without even blinking, he placed it into Lu Qiqi’s shopping cart.
In that moment, he looked particularly cool while buying something.
Lu Qiqi’s perception of him improved a lot. A bad person can do countless bad things, but doing one good thing can make you think highly of them.
Yan Tianpeng picked out a lot of snacks for her. As long as Lu Qiqi liked them, he didn’t look at the prices. This generous approach, coupled with his towering and muscular figure, made Jiang Yanan want a boyfriend as well.
Before long, Lu Qiqi’s shopping cart was filled to the halfway mark.
Yan Tianpeng waved his hand again, "Whatever you want to eat, whatever you want to use, just choose!"
Lu Qiqi then went to buy skincare products with her cart.
Yan Tianpeng lingered behind and left the supermarket with Guo Kunnan.
When they got to the supermarket entrance, Guo Kunnan suddenly exclaimed, "Tianpeng, you didn’t pay?"
