Do I look poor to you?
Lin Jiage shot a glance at Shi Yao and said, "Kudos to you if you manage to spend it all . "
Ah . . . Am I imagining things? Why does it sound like he's mocking me?
Shi Yao grumbled softly, "I'm just worried that you'll starve at school if you spend your whole allowance here . "
Allowance? What's that? I haven't received anything like that for years now!
Hearing those words, Lin Jiage couldn't bring himself to tell Shi Yao that any project he took on would earn him a minimum of six digits .

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jiage could only use a roundabout manner to assuage Shi Yao's worries, "Don't worry . If I run out of money, I can always sell my grandpa's car at the carpark . "
" . . . " Shi Yao thought that Lin Jiage's joke was really cold .
The elevator arrived on the first floor, and the two of them walked out . Lin Jiage brought Shi Yao into the LV bag store and said, "Since there are too many things that my sis likes, you should just go along with what you like . I think she'll be happy with whatever you get her . "
Shi Yao replied with an "Okay" before she began to browse through the items earnestly .
. . .
Half an hour later, they were finally done browsing through the first floor .
In truth, it wasn't that nothing had caught their sight, but there would always be some kind of dissatisfaction between them . Whenever Shi Yao asked Lin Jiage about the items she'd chosen, he would always reject them .

Arriving on the second floor, before they could even start looking through the stores, Shi Yao's gaze was already captured by a café not too far away .
Lin Jiage glanced at the other young ladies around him and noted that they were all fixated on the myriad of products displayed in the stores around them . Even the conversations they had were about the newest product from some kind of brand . But when it came to Shi Yao . . . This is like the eighth time she's looked at that café after we got on the second floor . . .
Oh well, what else can I do? I'm the one who brought the lady out, so even if I have to kneel down, it's my responsibility to make this shopping trip an enjoyable one for her .
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage said, "You must be exhausted after walking around for so long . Why don't we rest at the café for a bit?"
These words were blatant lies . They had barely walked for half an hour so far . . .
However, seeing how Shi Yao's eyes twinkled brightly upon hearing his suggestion, Lin Jiage thought that it wasn't too bad to lie from time to time .

They first spent half an hour on browsing through the first floor, followed by a forty-minute-break in the café . After which, they took twenty minutes to browse through the second floor, then proceeded to rest in the Hong Kong style café on the third floor for half an hour . Following that, they walked for twenty-three minutes on the fourth floor before sitting in a bubble tea shop for another twenty-five minutes . After that, they moved on to the fifth floor . . . as well as the final level of the shopping mall .
Next to the elevator of the fifth floor was a renowned flower boutique, endorsed by a popular Little Fresh Meat .
Shi Yao suddenly remembered that flowers could be internationally shipped by air, so she suggested, "Why don't we get a bouquet of flowers before picking out a gift? A bouquet of beautiful flowers would complement Sis Jiayi's gift quite nicely . "
"Sure . " Lin Jiage nodded as he gestured for Shi Yao to pick out the bouquet .
Five minutes later, Shi Yao had finished choosing the various flowers for the bouquet .
Ten minutes later, the attendant wrapped the flowers beautifully together .
When Lin Jage went to pay the bill, he took a look at the flowers that Shi Yao had chosen—light pink, light yellow, and light green, a color scheme suited for a youthful girl .
He couldn't help but think that his sister wouldn't like the flower bouquet, but that wasn't a problem . What mattered was that Soft Bun liked it .
After leaving the flower boutique, they browsed through the various shops on the fifth floor before finally arriving at an accessory shop .
While browsing through the various accessories that the store had on display, Shi Yao suddenly stopped . There was a brilliant gleam in her eyes that Lin Jiage had yet to see ever since stepping into the shopping mall .
The accessory she was looking at was a bracelet .
Diamonds embedded on gold; what was notable about the bracelet was that there was a small charm attached to it . It was strawberry-shaped .
To be honest, the bracelet was indeed beautiful . However, it was worth pondering over whether Soft Bun was interested in the bracelet itself or the strawberry charm . This is a Chinese internet slang which refers to handsome, young celebrities, often rising stars .
