School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 5: Shopping with Su Qingqing

Chen Nan averted his gaze almost immediately, his eyes darting away lest he start to have a nosebleed from prolonged staring.

Completely unaware of any impropriety, Su Qingqing’s mind was racing: she had hit the jackpot! Chen Nan was a treasure, not only pure but also incredibly capable; he would surely be fun to tease!

Su Yixuan approached with a smile, asking, "Are you convinced now?"

"Completely," Su Qingqing replied, nodding with a smile. Thievish glints danced in her eyes as she glanced at Chen Nan, her heart already brimming with glee.

Su Yixuan sighed with a helpless smile, accustomed to her sister’s antics. "Chen Nan will be staying here from now on. Go with him and buy some daily necessities. I have other matters to attend to and cannot accompany you."

"No problem at all," Su Qingqing readily agreed.

Feeling rather pleased with herself, Su Qingqing grabbed Chen Nan’s hand and practically dragged him outside. "Pure Brother, let's go!"

Pure Brother?

The nickname struck a chord of helplessness in Chen Nan. Was he truly pure? He felt utterly debauched.

While Chen Nan's hand was warmed by Su Qingqing’s soft grasp, a sense of helplessness washed over him; he had not a single cent to his name. What could he possibly buy? Making a fool of himself seemed the most probable outcome.

"Well, young lady, I actually don't need anything. Let’s just head back home, shall we?"

"Don't call me 'young lady,' just call me Qingqing," Su Qingqing replied, blinking at Chen Nan in confusion. "We have most necessities at home, so you’re right, we don’t need to buy those. However, you don't seem to have any luggage. Shouldn’t we at least buy you some clothes to wear?"

"This… Maybe another day…"

Before Chen Nan could finish his sentence, Su Qingqing pulled him along, starting to move forward. "Why wait for another day? It’s so hot right now. What will you wear after showering tonight?"

Chen Nan was left speechless. He wanted to buy clothes too, but he could hardly ask this young lady to lend him money…

After considerable hesitation, Chen Nan steeled himself. He had already endured the humiliation of hunger; what was one more instance of losing face?

"Qingqing, do you happen to have any money on you? Could you lend me… lend me five hundred…"

Su Qingqing paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter. "Haha, you’re hilarious."

*Hilarious while completely broke? I’m dealing with your sister here!* Chen Nan inwardly cursed, though his face wore an expression of resigned helplessness.

Accepting the five hundred yuan from Su Qingqing, Chen Nan felt a surge of confidence. However, the moment he stepped into a high-end clothing store, his spirits plummeted once more—everything was exorbitantly expensive! The cheapest garment cost several hundred, if not thousands. The five hundred yuan he had wouldn't even cover a small accessory.

*Too greedy, they’re definitely swindlers!* Chen Nan turned to leave, intending to seek out cheaper options, but Su Qingqing caught his arm. "Pure Brother, what’s wrong? Don’t you like the clothes here? I think this one looks good. Try it on."

Chen Nan took the offered clothes, glanced at them, and casually tossed them aside. "I don’t like this style." The clothes were indeed appealing, but unfortunately, utterly unaffordable…

Pouting slightly, Su Qingqing nudged Chen Nan towards the fitting room. "I think it looks quite nice; just try it on."

"Alright then…" Chen Nan reluctantly entered the dressing room.

A minute later, Chen Nan emerged in the new attire, and in an instant, the world seemed to hold its breath. Even Su Qingqing stared at him, dumbfounded, taking a moment to recover. The transformation was truly striking.

"Hehe, who knew you could look so handsome?" Su Qingqing giggled, patting Chen Nan’s chest and giving him a knowing wink.

Chen Nan chuckled, scratching his head sheepishly.

"My taste is good, right? Hehe, I’ve already paid for it. Consider it a gift from me. Let’s go." Patting Chen Nan on the shoulder, Su Qingqing smiled triumphantly and led him out of the store.

"A gift for me? I don’t have to repay it?" Chen Nan’s face lit up with surprise.

Su Qingqing was utterly speechless. The man became so cheerful at the mere thought of not owing money. Did he possess any semblance of masculine pride? "Of course, you don’t have to pay back a gift. By the way, Pure Brother, what’s your phone number?"

"Um, I… I don’t have a phone…"

Su Qingqing suddenly felt that, aside from his martial arts prowess, this guy seemed to possess nothing else…

"Shall we go take a look at some cell phones then?"

Having intended to purchase a mobile phone, Chen Nan readily agreed to the suggestion.

Before long, they found themselves at a bustling mobile phone store.

As Chen Nan held a phone with a five-inch screen, he assessed its weight, deeming it substantial enough; in a pinch, it might even double as a makeshift brick. "Can this phone be used for striking someone?" he inquired of the saleswoman.

The saleswoman paused, a flicker of hesitation crossing her face, before she eventually shook her head. "Sir, this item is not designed for striking; it would likely break."

"In that case, do you perhaps carry any phones that *can* be used for striking?" Chen Nan pressed further.

His genuine interest lay in acquiring a device that could both make calls and function as a defensive tool. Beside him, Su Qingqing listened with a puzzled expression, wondering if this man possessed a violent disposition. Why else would he need a phone capable of hitting someone?

"I apologize, sir, but we do not stock any phones intended for striking purposes," the saleswoman replied, her tone laced with helplessness.

Chen Nan let out a sigh. After surveying the display counter for a moment, he finally selected a five-inch screen model, tossing it lightly from hand to hand. The weight felt acceptable; if he found himself needing to strike someone with it, he could simply discard it afterward.

This action caused the saleswoman standing nearby immense consternation, fearing he might accidentally fling it away during his casual tossing. She quickly interjected, "Sir, please be aware that this cannot be used for striking."

"I never said I intended to strike anyone," Chen Nan responded with a touch of exasperation. "What is the price of this device?"

"Sir, this particular model is priced at three thousand six hundred and eighty yuan," she informed him.

Without another word, Chen Nan placed the phone back on the counter with a thud and turned to leave. The exorbitant price astonished him; his meager five hundred yuan couldn't even cover the final digit!

The saleswoman stood in stunned silence, utterly bewildered. She felt she hadn't misspoken; why was he reacting with such anger?

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Su Qingqing called out from behind him.

"I'm feeling hungry and need to get something to eat."

Hungry?

Su Qingqing's brow furrowed for a moment before understanding dawned. The man likely didn't have much money on his person. She turned to the saleswoman. "I'll take this phone. And please include a SIM card as well."

The saleswoman blinked in surprise. A man browsing, but a woman paying? Had the world turned on its head? For a woman to support her man like this – was he utterly spineless, she mused!
