At the convenience store downstairs, Qi Sheng casually grabbed some water and ice cream.
When it came to buying ice cream, there was no need to hesitate.
He just followed a simple principle: if there’s Häagen-Dazs, get Häagen-Dazs; if not, buy Magnum.
’Is a one-yuan old-fashioned popsicle something a person of my current status should be eating?’
Although Qi Sheng had only recently become rich, he felt his lifestyle choices had to keep up.
Qi Sheng went upstairs carrying a bag of Magnums and a case of mineral water.
When the girls saw the ice cream bars, they were naturally tempted yet fearful.
"Go ahead and eat. Worst case, you can just eat a little less for dinner."
Qi Sheng said without a second thought, tearing open a Magnum for himself.
Truffle chocolate flavor. It was actually pretty good.
The price, though, was a little unfriendly.
A box of four was 60 yuan, making each one 15 yuan.
Qi Sheng didn’t even really look, just casually picked out five different flavors.
The freezer could fit them anyway.
"Wow, I haven’t had a Magnum in ages! Thanks, Handsome Qi!"
Xu Ying took a bite of a vanilla-flavored Magnum bar. It was the flavor she loved.
Normally, she couldn’t bring herself to buy one.
An ice cream bar for 15 yuan? It was practically an "ice cream assassin."
Never mind those other expensive brands; compared to Magnum, they were trash.
Pei Yinyin quietly ate her matcha-flavored ice cream bar.
Come to think of it, this was the first time she’d ever eaten such an expensive ice cream bar.
Coming from an ordinary family, she had never been short of admirers growing up.
But a smart girl knows that it’s hard to turn someone down after accepting their gifts.
No matter how expensive a gift someone gave her, she never dared to accept it.
She was afraid that if she did, it would be difficult to reject them later.
Her parents had drilled it into her since she was a child: a girl must have self-respect.
Only when she was sure a boyfriend was marriage material could she give herself to him.
As a dance teacher, Pei Yinyin’s figure was, needless to say, flawless.
Her skin was fair as jade, her curves enchanting.
And as for her flexibility, that went without saying.
Things like doing the splits were a piece of cake.
As she got older, her parents started pressuring her to get married.
They even arranged blind dates for her, which annoyed her to no end.
Within her parents’ social circle, the men her age they could introduce her to were all just average.
Before, she didn’t have precise requirements for her other half.
But today, she suddenly had a clear target in mind.
Both she and Tan Hua were in the category of top-tier beauties.
Naturally, she didn’t want to fall too far behind when it came to boyfriends.
"You all worked so hard today, especially Qi Sheng. I’ll treat you to a big meal."
Having saved on agent fees, moving fees, and the time it would have taken to find an apartment, Xu Ying naturally wanted to thank Qi Sheng and Tan Hua properly.
"A casual bite is fine."
Qi Sheng waved his hand, having no intention of making Xu Ying splurge on him.
Stylish white-collar workers like her basically lived paycheck to paycheck and couldn’t save much money.
"That won’t do! I’m treating you guys to an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet. I’ve been dying to try this place, and today’s the day I’m finally doing it!"
Xu Ying sent the restaurant’s location to Qi Sheng, telling him to navigate there directly later.
"Alright, then. You’re treating, so you call the shots. It’s been a while since I had a buffet, anyway."
Qi Sheng actually quite liked buffets.
Especially when he was single.
You could eat whatever you wanted, however you wanted, without having to consider a girlfriend’s feelings.
"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! I’m starving."
Xu Ying put the key in her bag. She just needed to find some time to let the landlord know.
As far as the landlord was concerned, as long as the rent was paid, it didn’t matter who was renting.
...
Youfang Shopping Center.
This was Qi Sheng’s first time here, too.
Taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, a Japanese restaurant called ’Crafted Japanese Cuisine’ came into view.
After being led to their reserved private room, the young waitress said something in Japanese.
"Welcome, we are very happy to serve you."
At a Japanese restaurant of this level, the waitstaff could usually only manage a Japanese welcome phrase.
"So, just how happy are you, exactly?"
Qi Sheng, feeling playful, replied to the young waitress in Japanese.
"Huh?"
The young waitress was dumbfounded.
Hearing Qi Sheng’s fluent Japanese, she thought he was actually a guest from Japan and instinctively wanted to call for the manager.
"Alright, I’m just teasing you."
