In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since Su Yi transferred to another school. When she and Old Lady Qu came to City S, it was just the beginning of autumn, and now it is early winter.
The winter in S City seemed to be colder than that in the small fishing village by the sea. The leaves on both sides of the street were scattered, but the Xiao family mansion was still lush and green, and the tall trees isolated the noise outside.
The early morning sun shines on the balcony, bringing with it the unique coolness of winter.
Sue yawned and skipped down the stairs.
Today is the weekend, but Su Wanting and Xiao Xing are still busy. She just saw their car leaving home.
Downstairs, Xiao Yan was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, while Old Lady Qu was sitting by the window in the living room, basking in the sun while crocheting a sweater.
Hearing the noise coming from the stairs, she looked up and said helplessly: "You are so old but you still don't walk properly. You will only look ugly when you fall down."
Sue smiled and snuggled up to her, "Grandma, what are you knitting?"
Old Lady Qu picked up the unfinished product in her hand and pouted at the golden retriever in the yard, "It's getting cold. I'll knit a sweater for Mimi."
Su Yi pretended to be unconvinced: "Why give it to me? I don't have anything."
Old Lady Qu smiled and said, "I made it according to Mimi's size. You can take it if you want it, as long as it fits you."
Su Yi snorted twice, ran to the table, said good morning to Xiao Yan, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
Su Wanting bought the golden retriever to accompany Mrs. Qu because she was worried that she would be bored at home. When she first heard that the dog cost several thousand yuan, she said it was a waste of money. But soon she started to buy it for her and even knitted sweaters for it, treating it like her second grandson.
In fact, it’s not that Grandma Qu doesn’t want to knit one for Su Yi. When Su Yi was a child, she made many of her clothes by herself. But now the environment is different. Even if she rarely goes out, she knows that S City and the small fishing village are completely two different worlds. Everything here is novel and fashionable, and people are even more so. If Su Yi wears the sweater she knitted again, she might be laughed at.
"Grandma can't knit anymore," Old Lady Qu said loudly, "I just wanted to bring this up with you. You haven't bought new clothes for this winter yet. Do you want to invite some classmates to go shopping in the next two days?"
Sue swallowed a mouthful of milk and asked, "Aren't you going with me?"
"What's the point of shopping with an old man? I don't understand the fashion of you kids. Besides, the mall here is too big. It makes me dizzy. You should find a classmate to accompany you."
"Okay." Su Yi's mouth drooped, and her mind searched for someone who could go out with her.
Normally, the girls in the class would say they wanted to go shopping every few days, but Su Yi had never gone with them once. Now that she wanted to buy clothes, she couldn't find anyone for a while.
Xiao Yan suddenly asked, "When are you going to go?"
"Hmm?" Sue tilted her head to look at him.
"I'm going out to buy some things this afternoon. Want to join me?"
This was timely, and Su Yi nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
It’s near Christmas and New Year’s Day, and it’s also the weekend, so the shopping malls are crowded with people.
The glass is covered with snowflakes and Christmas trees. Expressionless mannequins are twisting their hips in the windows, and the latest styles of clothes on them are attracting the attention of passers-by.
Sue held the ice cream in her hand and focused on the promotional information in front of each store.
"10% off for one piece, 20% off for two pieces, 30% off for three pieces..."
She read it once, looked up at the clothes in the store, and felt that she couldn't choose three pieces she liked. If she only bought one or two pieces, she wouldn't be at a loss if she couldn't enjoy the highest discount.
So he shook his head and walked to the next one.
"68% off new winter models."
Su Yi's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to walk in, she suddenly saw a small "start" next to "6.8", which meant the new models were 6.8% off!
She paused, frowned and walked away.
This kind of store is very cunning. They use low discounts to fool people. When you really want to buy something, you will find that nothing is really 38% off, because the discount starts at 38%. She has been fooled before and will not be fooled a second time.
"A hundred off for every thousand you spend? That means the maximum discount is only 90%? That's too stingy. No, no, no."
"Double points during promotion? This store is even more stingy, not giving a penny."
Xiao Yan stood aside and watched. He bought everything he wanted within a few minutes of entering the mall. Now he was waiting for Su Yi, who had been mumbling about various discount information for more than ten minutes without entering any store.
Fortunately, he was patient and mentally prepared. After all, he still remembered her bargaining in the small town before.
Su Yi finally chose a store that offered a 50% discount on all items. She also researched it and found that it didn't have any special charges or hidden costs, so she was finally willing to go in.
After that, things went very quickly. Old Mrs. Qu asked her to buy at least two or three sets of clothes. She walked around the store, selected a few pieces, tried them on, and decided to buy them when she thought they were pretty good. It took her only about ten minutes, most of which was spent on trying on clothes.
Xiao Yan was a little surprised that she finished so quickly. After all, judging from her previous posture, it seemed that she was prepared to spend the whole afternoon here.
But when I think about the fact that it was Su Yi who did this, I don’t think it’s strange. From the first day I met her, she seemed to have two completely different sides.
The two took the elevator down to the first floor. On the huge screen in the center of the mall, a preview of the New Year's Day performances in a few days was being shown.
Maotuan, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly called out to Suyi in his mind: "Yiyi, look, it's the male lead!"
Su Yi subconsciously looked up, and happened to see the face of a young male star flash by, "What male lead?"
"..." Mao Tuan was speechless for a while before he said, "Have you forgotten the hero of this book we're in?"
Su Yi suddenly realized, "Oh..."
She really forgot.
But now she remembered it again. She remembered that she was a cannon fodder. What was Xiao Yan? He seemed to be a supporting male role
She frowned and poked the ball of hair in her mind, "Xiao Yan is the male supporting role? Does it mean that whoever the female lead chooses in the end will be the male lead?"
"Uh... I can't really say that. It depends on the role, but Xiao Yan is indeed the supporting actor."
After hearing this, Su Yi stopped and stared at the advertisement on the screen for a while. When the male star appeared again, she looked at him, then turned to look at Xiao Yan, and became even more confused.
"I think he seems uglier than Xiao Yan and older. Why would the heroine choose him?"
Maotuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.
This statement is too subjective. The Great Devil now regards Xiao Yan as someone who is in the same faction as him, so his ass is crooked.
In fact, the male protagonist debuted as a child star, and he is one of the few who did not grow up to be a bad person. He graduated from a serious professional school, has both acting skills and good looks. He is different from the other young actors who rely solely on their looks. He is just in his early twenties this year, is very popular, and has a bright future waiting for him. How come he is ugly and old in Su Yi's mouth
When it comes to age, who could be older than herself
Of course, Mao Tuantuan didn't dare to say this.
Come to think of it, during this period of time, I have been following the devil's fall. Not to mention her, even it itself almost threw the plot to Java. Just now, when I caught a glimpse of the hero's face on the screen, I suddenly remembered it.
It dug out the plot in the corners, sorted it out, and then answered Su Yi's question: "Yi Yi, you are wrong. It's not that the heroine didn't choose Xiao Yan. In fact, she liked Xiao Yan from the beginning and liked him for most of the book. It was Xiao Yan who was always cold and indifferent and didn't respond to her. The heroine chose the hero later."
"Is there any male supporting actor who doesn't like the female lead?" Su Yi raised her eyebrows. This was different from the TV shows she watched.
"You've watched too little. This kind of white moonlight plot has been popular for a while. For example, the hero has a white moonlight in his heart, but he can't get it, so he uses the heroine as a substitute and abuses her eight hundred times. When the heroine leaves, he finds out who he really loves, so he plays I love you, you love her, she doesn't love you, etc. She loves you but you love me, and I don't love you anymore... If the heroine has a white moonlight in her heart, then you have to change the routine—"
"Stop," Su Yi stopped it from talking nonstop and asked directly, "The male lead has appeared. Is the plot about to begin?"
Maotuan counted on his fingers and said, "It's still early."
Su Yi nodded and put the matter aside.
Seeing her staring at the screen, Xiao Yan also stopped and took a few glances.
Just then, Su Yi came back to her senses and saw him looking at her, so she reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, he's not as handsome as you."
Now, even if Xiao Yan was used to her abnormality, he could not understand the meaning of this nonsensical sentence.
However, he himself did not realize that, because of her words, he unconsciously turned his head several times to look at his reflection in the glass while walking out of the mall.
The author has something to say: Su Yi: I caught you being conceited~
Xiao Yan: …
ps: Some babies have reported that the author updates too slowly. It is true, because of some special circumstances. After dawn, the author will get married.
