Chapter 21 (Surprise, surprise, surprise...)
The moment the door was closed, Yu Li tightened and looked at Huo Chen with shock. Huo Chen nodded slightly, acknowledging that the person outside was the nineteen-year-old.
Yu Li swallowed silently, thinking that Huo Zhenyu shouldn't have seen her, otherwise with his temper, the ceiling would have been raised and he would not have turned around and left. Huo Chen saw her nervousness and touched her head comfortably: "He didn't see us, we'll wait for him to leave before going out."
Yu Li nodded obediently, put the sweatshirt into his hand, and silently signaled him to put on the clothes quickly. Huo Chen chuckled and put on the clothes: "Is it okay?"
"...It's pretty good," Yu Li looked him from head to toe, with a subtle expression, "I just can't tell you what's strange." He had a exactly the same face, but Huo Zhenyu was more suitable for these than him. Of course, it's not that he is not good-looking. A clothes rack like him looks good even if he is wearing a sack.
"Maybe it's because I haven't worn casual clothes for too long that you feel that something is wrong." Huo Chen helped her think about the reason.
Yu Li nodded: "Maybe, but it's still good."
"Just look good," Huo Chen raised the corners of his lips happily and put on the mask he took off again, "That's it."
Yu Li nodded, and the two of them stayed in the fitting room for a while. They heard the movements of Huo Zhenyu and others and left before leaving.
When he went out, Yu Li secretly opened a small crack in the door. After confirming that there was no one outside, he quickly got out and pretended to have been waiting outside. After Huo Chen came out, he looked at her funny and went straight to the cashier. Seeing this, she quickly followed her.
"Pay the bill." Huo Chen put the picked tag on the table.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you now," the clerk said, looking up. After seeing Huo Chen wearing a mask, he couldn't help but exclaim. Then he realized that his reaction was too strange, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly to explain to himself, "Sorry, sir, I thought you were the customer just now."
What she said should be Huo Zhenyu. Yu Li coughed and laughed dryly: "This person in my family has a popular face, and people often say that he looks like others."
The clerk was speechless for a moment, thinking that although he didn't see the face, this person was obviously not a public face, right? But she was not serious either. After hearing Yu Li's words, she smiled and settled the bill neatly: "The pants, sweatshirt and down jacket are a total of 3,700."
Yu Li was originally taking out a bank card, but when she heard the amount, she froze: "How much?"
"Three thousand seven." The clerk repeated again.
Yu Li swallowed: "...Is a trendy brand so expensive?"
"You are joking. Our price has always been like this. In fact, it is not expensive in the mall." After saying that, the clerk looked at Huo Chen with a smile, obviously waiting for him to pay the bill.
Yu Li pressed her temples with a headache, turned her head to look at Huo Chen: "I don't have that much money." Her monthly living expenses are only more than 1,000 yuan. Recently, she spent basically on private money from childhood to adulthood, but even private money is not much, and she has spent almost the same amount during this period.
Although there are still some left in the card, there are definitely not three thousand seven.
"It's okay, I'll pay the bill," Huo Chen pinched her face, "You use your phone for me."
Yu Li hesitated: "You don't want to log in to your previous payment account, are you?" After that, she glanced at the clerk and pulled him into the corner, "You can't use his account. If he finds it, you can arrest us as soon as you call the police."
"Don't worry, no." Huo Chen chuckled, took her cell phone and dialed a phone number. After chatting for a few words, he turned around and asked her, "Is the account you pay for is your mobile phone number?"
Yu Li nodded, and then said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Yes, it's this mobile phone number. Just transfer the money directly, as soon as possible."
Yu Li frowned and looked at him. After a while, he hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to ask: "Who are you calling?"
"Ah, my boss during this period." Huo Chen raised his lips and replied.
Yu Li's expression was a little weird: "Where do you have a boss?"
"Of course, otherwise why do you have the money to buy air tickets to find you?" Huo Chen looked at her with a funny look, "He should have given me this money some time ago, but I was."
Yu Li blinked and was about to speak, when she paid the account, she let out a ding dong. She looked down at the amount and couldn't help but open her mouth. After a while, she looked at Huo Chen blankly: "...What are you doing illegal or disorderly?"
Huo Chen was speechless for a moment: "I am so bad in your heart?"
"Yes, but there are 20,000 here..." Yu Li's last word "10,000" was about to break the sound, "You don't have any documents, who would spend so much money to hire you?"
Huo Chen laughed: "I only gave this little money to help build a complete office system. Even in 2013, it would be considered a loss-making business."
Yu Li thought about it, and after confirming that he had not done anything bad, he felt relieved and took his cell phone to transfer the money.
When they checked out, Huo Zhenyu and Fatty had already arrived at the first floor and passed the jewelry store just now. Huo Zhenyu suddenly stopped this time.
"Boss, what's wrong?" the fat man asked curiously.
Huo Zhenyu glanced at him: "I'll go in and buy something."
Fatty: "?"
After Huo Zhenyu finished speaking, he went in directly. The fat man looked at Wangcai speechlessly: "What did he buy when he goes in?"
"Buy a gift for my sister-in-law." Wangcai replied.
Zhugan was puzzled: "But when he came, didn't he say that my sister-in-law doesn't need those things?"
"Who can tell the truth?" Wangcai glanced at them. In order to avoid them asking more unnutritional questions, he followed Huo Zhenyu directly.
When Wangcai entered, Huo Zhenyu was standing in front of a row of hair accessories to choose. Wangcai picked up a daisy hairpin and asked, "Boss, how about this?"
Huo Zhenyu took a look: "Xiaoyu has this."
"Then choose something else, this duck looks good too." Wangcai helped choose.
Huo Zhenyu thought it was pretty good, so he took it and put it in a small basket and picked other things again. The two big boys chose it seriously for a long time, and finally chose a bunch of things. The girls next to him looked here from time to time. When they saw them holding another big bow, an enthusiastic little girl couldn't help but say, "Did you take it for your sister at home?"
Huo Zhenyu is usually quite cold to strangers, both men and women, but at this moment he just paused and looked up at the other party seriously: "It's for your girlfriend."
His eyes were beautiful and naturally casual, but he seemed particularly serious when staring at someone. The little girl blushed when she saw him and coughed: "Since she is a girlfriend, I think she should not give it that kind of exaggerated one. It is not available in ordinary occasions, and it is difficult to wear it, so it takes up space when you buy it."
Huo Zhenyu didn't take it seriously when she heard that she couldn't use it in general, but when she heard it was difficult, she hesitated a little. Xiaoyu just told him that her hair was not good.
"...Of course, I just suggest that it depends on what your girlfriend likes." Seeing that Huo Zhenyu didn't say anything, the little girl hurriedly added and left in a hurry.
Wangcai looked at Huo Zhenyu: "Boss, then don't want these."
"Yes," Huo Zhenyu stopped him from putting his hand back in place, "Buy it first."
Wangcai: "?"
On the other side, at the men's clothing store on the third floor, Yu Li took the bag containing Huo Chen's clothes and walked out with Huo Chen. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Huo Chen asked.
Yu Li thought for a while: "We might as well walk through the stairs. It's not high anyway, so we can avoid the same as before and almost bump into it."
Huo Chen paused after hearing this, staring at her with his arms leisurely. Yu Li felt guilty when he looked at her. After coughing, he asked, "What are you looking at me?"
"I found you are very well-behaved," Huo Chen was quite satisfied. "I thought you would be very curious about the nineteen-year-old me, but I didn't expect that I would just listen to me like this and I would just walk around him."
"…I've listened to you."
"I performed very well, my husband will remember you. I will reward you after I returned to 2020." Huo Chen said happily.
Yu Li: "..." What rewards do you need to be given until 2020? She doesn't want to know, but she can guess it casually, and it must be restricted and not allowed to broadcast.
The two of them walked the stairs together, took a taxi from the back door of the mall to a nearby mobile phone store, bought Huo Chen's mobile phone and card, and some other daily necessities. When they finished all this, they were getting dark, so the two of them simply had dinner together. As a result, when Yu Li was having dinner, she accidentally got Huo Chen's new clothes dirty.
Looking at the little oily spot on his white down jacket, Yu Li was very upset: "I just bought it and it became dirty."
"It's okay, I'll go back to the hotel and ask them to clean it up." Huo Chen didn't care much.
"No, it's just a little bit worth it. Let them wash the whole piece. This way, you give me the clothes when you arrive at the hotel and I'll take them back to wash them with a toothbrush." Yu Li suggested.
Seeing that she was quite concerned, Huo Chen agreed happily. After the two agreed, they went to the hotel first. After Yu Li got his clothes, she returned to school alone.
The sky was completely dark, but fortunately the road was brightly lit and the public security was pretty good. Yu Li was quite relieved to walk on the road, but the cold made her speed up.
When she was about to arrive at school, her cell phone suddenly vibrated. Yu Li picked up the phone and saw that it was Huo Zhenyu's phone number and quickly picked it up: "Hey?"
"Are you in school?" he asked.
Yu Li was a little guilty, but she still replied with a stingy head: "Hey, I've been in school."
"Then you..." Huo Zhenyu suddenly got stuck in the middle of his speech, and then his voice sank, "Lie, you've just come back."
Yu Li was stunned for a moment, and as soon as she looked up, she saw him at the school gate, and was answering the phone with her cell phone.
Her mouth twitched and she walked forward speechlessly.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you lying?"
The voices of the two people rang at the same time. As soon as they finished speaking, Huo Zhenyu's eyes fell on the bag in her hand.
A bag from a men's clothing store.
Noting his gaze, Yu Li subconsciously hid behind her back. Before she could hide it, she heard his subtle voice asking: "Is this what I bought for me?"
Yu Li froze.
"So are you lying to buy clothes for me?" Huo Zhenyu didn't hold back and suddenly laughed. Her neat and white teeth were quite obvious in winter nights. "Do you want to surprise me?"
Facing his smile, Yu Li remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded dryly: "Yes, are you surprised or not? Are you surprised?"
