There were many places to shop in Jianye. The more upscale ones were Dongfang Shopping Mall, Golden Eagle International, and Xinbai. The less upscale ones were Jinqiao and Yuqiao Market. Students from Xianning University City were used to going to Da Ming Stores.
Xiao Rongyu and Bian Shishi had the characteristics of female university students when shopping — they looked more than they bought, and they never stopped eating.
They first went to Da Ming Stores, then turned to Xinbai. Bian Shishi felt that the clothes there were too expensive, so Little Yu'er accompanied her to Jinqiao and Yuqiao Market.
They didn't buy many clothes, but their stomachs were full. When they saw good food from the roadside stalls, they would try it.
In order to make it easier to transfer, Chen Hansheng's Xiali was parked at Da Ming Stores. The three of them went out by bus.
The bus in Jianye was crowded and stuffy. Chen Hansheng and the others didn't get a ride at the terminal, so they basically didn't have a seat. They could only stand in the carriage with their bags and follow the rhythm of the bus.
However, Little Yu'er felt that it was very interesting. The co-driver seat of a car was a symbol of status. However, the advantage of the bus was that she could hug Chen Hansheng as much as she wanted. It was a sweet feeling of being in love.
Of course, this action was not unusual at all, because this behavior was everywhere on the bus. Many student couples were like this. The boy held the boom in one hand and the bag in the other, while the girl didn't care. She just wanted to hug her boyfriend.
These boys occasionally raised their heads. When their eyes met, their first reaction was to size up each other's girlfriend.
There was a kind of comparison here. If one's girlfriend was prettier, he could hold his chest higher. Chen Hansheng deserved to be called the champion of showing off. After all, Little Yu'er was prettier than him.
Of course, there were no losers here. Even if their girlfriend wasn't as pretty as the others, the male university students wouldn't mind. Instead, they would lower their heads and kiss their girlfriend's forehead intimately.
So what if she was pretty? She wasn't theirs. The one in their arms was the one they loved the most.
College students' relationships were so simple. They must have imagined their future life more than once. Although their elders often nagged them that they would definitely break up after graduation, they didn't believe it at all.
Perhaps only when they really graduated and faced the pressure of society would they painfully make a decision. However, first love was always unforgettable.
"Xiao Chen, let's take the bus occasionally in the future."
Little Yu'er looked at the couples around her, and she could empathize with them.
"Sure, we'll definitely do that when we have time."
Chen Hansheng agreed without hesitation, but in his heart, he was thinking that he should take less public transport in the future.
This was because it was easy to bump into classmates on this bus, especially Little Yu'er, who was "naughty" on the bus. She always liked to stick to him. For example, this bus. Chen Hansheng only felt relieved when he saw that there was no one he knew on the bus.
"Hmph, you're just brushing me off when you say you have time."
Little Yu'er hammered Chen Hansheng. She leaned her delicate oval face on his chest. She was calm and dependent, but also seemed to be in a daze.
However, when the bus arrived at the station, Little Yu'er regained her lively personality. She smiled sweetly and went shopping with Bian Shishi.
In the evening, the three of them arrived at Lion Bridge Food Street.
Lion Bridge was not far from Xinshikou. It was a food gathering place where Jianye University students had to check in.
Jianye was an ancient capital of six dynasties. Many of its landmarks were very historical, such as the Ming Tile Corridor, Purple Mountain, Lion Bridge, and Teacher's Temple. There were no strange naming methods. They were very in line with the traditional aesthetic views of Chinese people.
Lion Bridge was especially crowded with students. Along the way, there were groups of three to five dormitory students or couples. It was bustling with activity. Occasionally, tourists would find this place. They had DSLRs around their necks, and they swallowed their saliva as they looked at the wintery stir-fried chestnuts.
Little Yu'er was holding squid skewers in her hand, while Bian Shishi was holding a box of stinky tofu. Their mouths were covered in grease, and their eyes were filled with satisfaction.
From time to time, part-time students would pass out flyers. Usually, Xiao Rongyu, who was walking in front, would receive one. The students who passed out the flyers expressed their gratitude. However, at the entrance of a hotpot restaurant, there was a stubborn mannequin wearing a Kumamon jacket.
Xiao Rongyu and Bian Shishi had already received the flyers, but the Kumamon mannequin continued to block their path.
It looked cute as it stretched out its short and chubby hands.
Chen Hansheng did not take it seriously. However, the Kumamon mannequin did not know the rules. It was fine if it blocked their path, but it kept blocking their path.
When Xiao Rongyu and Bian Shishi turned left, the Kumamon mannequin was blocking their path. When they turned back, the Kumamon mannequin was blocking their path. Chen Hansheng thought that the Kumamon mannequin was trying to act like a pervert. He found it amusing and disdainful. Without saying a word, he grabbed the Kumamon mannequin's head and threw it backward.
The Kumamon mannequin took a few steps back and sat on the ground. The flyers in its hand were scattered all over the floor.
Chen Hansheng did not want to cause any trouble. If he had used his legs, the Kumamon mannequin would have been lying on the ground.
"Xiao Chen, why did you use so much force? We could have just walked around it."
Little Yu'er said reproachfully.
The Kumamon mannequin did not expect Chen Hansheng to hit it. It sat on the ground and clumsily took off its hood, revealing a familiar face.
"Eh, Tangtang?"
When Little Fishy saw that it was actually Sun Tangtang in the mask, she immediately ran over to help her up. Chen Hansheng was also a little stunned. Why was Sun Tangtang here pretending to be a Kumamon?
Bian Shishi did not know who Sun Tangtang was. She only knew that Sun Tangtang was the granddaughter of Professor Sun Biyu from Eastern University. She could not believe it.
Firstly, Professor Sun's granddaughter was of mixed blood. Secondly, Sun Tangtang wanted to work part-time here.
Professor Sun was a professor who received subsidies from the government. He also owned many books and copyrights. He should be earning a lot of money.
"Tangtang, why are you here?"
Little Yu'er pulled Sun Tangtang to a nearby McDonald's and sat down. She reached out and helped Sun Tangtang to clean the dust on her body.
"To earn money."
Sun Tangtang's face was covered in sweat. It was because she was wearing a hood.
"Grandma said that I have to pay for my living expenses every month."
Sun Tangtang explained. Her Chinese was average, and she could only express simple meanings.
"I see."
Little Yu'er was surprised. She raised her head and looked at Chen Hansheng. She did not know what to say at this time. Professor Sun should not be so cold.
Chen Hansheng had an important question in his mind. "Does Professor Sun know that you are pretending to be a Kumamon?"
Sun Tangtang replied, "Yes."
After Chen Hansheng heard this, he did not want to care anymore. Since Professor Sun knew, it meant that his grandma had her own ideas.
However, seeing the concerned look on Little Fishy's face, and the fact that it wasn't a good idea to leave immediately, Chen Hansheng picked up the flyers and asked, "Is this your mission today?"
Sun Tangtang blinked her blue eyes.
"How about this?"
Chen Hansheng thought for a while and said, "The three of us will help you distribute the flyers and then treat you to a meal. You can leave early today."
Little Yu'er found a chance to ask quietly, "Xiao Chen, is this all right?"
"Yes, it is not good to stand by and do nothing, but it is not good to interfere too deeply. This is the best way for me to do it."
Chen Hansheng thought for a while and said, "Send a message to Professor Sun later. But don't say that you are helping to distribute the flyers and treat her to a meal. Let Sun Tangtang take the initiative to do this."
The three of them helped a lot. Soon, they finished distributing the flyers in Sun Tangtang's hands. Chen Hansheng took Sun Tangtang to eat Shandong cuisine.
When Sun Tangtang returned home at 9 o 'clock in the evening, Professor Sun was in the study room. When she saw her mixed-race granddaughter, she pointed to the kitchen and said coldly, "There is still food. Go heat it up."
"I have eaten."
Sun Tangtang replied.
"Oh?"
Professor Sun asked, "Did you buy it yourself?"
Sun Tangtang shook her head. "I met Chen Hansheng and Little Yu'er sister. They helped me distribute the flyers and treated me to a meal."
"En."
Professor Sun turned around and went into the study room. He picked up his phone and looked at the message sent by Xiao Rongyu again.
"Professor Sun, today we saw Tangtang working part-time at Lion Bridge. Xiao Chen knows some friends outside of school in Jianye. If you need, Xiao Chen said that he can arrange a better place for you."
"Sigh."
Professor Sun sighed. "I always feel that I owe them a favor."
Professor Sun took out a copy of from the folder on his desk. He looked at it and put it back.
It was too early. Xiao Rongyu was only in her second year. She would need to be at least in her third year to use this thing.
