Ye Chen was approached by several women after leaving a store, including two young girls who boldly asked him to be their girlfriend. He managed to escape their advances by claiming to be married with children. Shortly after, Ye Chen encountered his old college classmate, Zhao Qing, and Zhao Qing's friend, Liu Xia. Liu Xia showed immediate admiration for Ye Chen, much to Zhao Qing's displeasure.

Ye Chen totally ignored Zhao Qing and Liu Xia’s amazed expressions; he had long anticipated their reaction.

Ye Chen knew exactly what kind of person Zhao Qing was, after all, they had been schoolmates for so many years.

It’s often said that birds of a feather flock together, naturally someone like Zhao Qing would find a girlfriend who is equally snobbish.

Not to mention, just earlier when Liu Xia met Ye Chen, the fact that she deliberately hid being Zhao Qing’s girlfriend told Ye Chen a lot about her.

"Zhao Qing, I have things to do, I’ll take my leave now." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Qing wanted to taunt Ye Chen, but Ye Chen was not going to give him that chance.

Ye Chen felt that saying even one more word to these two would be a waste of his time and life.

Zhao Qing was just about to open his mouth to mock Ye Chen, but realized the other party was already gone.

"Honey, your classmate is dressed as decent as a gentleman, yet turns out to be a delivery guy; it’s really unbelievable, I almost got fooled by him," Liu Xia said covering her mouth.

She also realized she had behaved a bit too obviously earlier, and hurriedly explained.

"Wasn’t it you who couldn’t take your eyes off him earlier, and deliberately didn’t say you were my girlfriend? I thought you wanted to run off with him," Zhao Qing said irritably.

"How could I? My husband is so amazing, how could a lousy delivery guy compare to you, besides my heart belongs to you," Liu Xia said, leaning her head on Zhao Qing’s shoulder.

This statement gave Zhao Qing the sense of admiration that all men are very concerned with.

He nodded with great satisfaction, feeling quite proud.

Thinking of Ye Chen then comparing to himself, although they attended the same university but upon entering society, the difference between them was stark.

At least Zhao Qing was a departmental leader at a company, whereas Ye Chen was just a delivery guy.

Back in university, Ye Chen was always outshining him in every way, yet now Ye Chen was inferior in every aspect, making Zhao Qing feel ecstatic.

However, thinking of his girlfriend’s earlier behavior made him still feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Liu Xia knew Zhao Qing was petty and wouldn’t forgive her so easily.

"Besides, when I checked out handsome guys, isn’t it the same nature as you checking out pretty girls? I didn’t get mad because of that," Liu Xia said with a grievance on her face.

Seeing his girlfriend’s expression and hearing her say this softened Zhao Qing’s heart, and he no longer blamed her.

Yet he remained somewhat resentful over the missed chance to taunt Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at the time, estimating Su Wanyi should be about finished.

Moreover, wearing this suit was drawing too much attention, and there were many people in the mall, better to avoid trouble.

He headed towards the escalator intending to go downstairs. Ahead of him stood a girl with long flowing hair, dressed very fashionably.

Just looking at her back, one could guess she’s a beauty, Ye Chen wouldn’t care surrounded by many pretty ladies.

However, the gentlemen opposite were ogling, even fantasizing about how nice it would be if that beauty were their girlfriend.

Some men’s eyes were glued to the beauty, making their girlfriends beside them feel envious and jealous.

Some even wanted to push forward on the escalator just to get a closer look at the beauty.

Of course, those with such thoughts found it difficult to act; in the narrow confines of the escalator, one would need the other person’s permission to move forward, everyone was in a hurry, nobody was willing to yield.

Ye Chen was on the descending escalator with the beauty, and on the opposite ascending escalator, was a cute Monchhichi.

Of course, this wasn’t real but played by a person, as Monchhichi itself is adorable, seeing such an adorable figure in the mall naturally attracts the affection of girls.

That beauty was no exception, regardless of what type of temperament a girl has, in her heart she’ll enjoy cute things.

The girls on the escalator waved and shouted at Monchhichi.

"Monchhichi, I love you."

"Wow, look she’s so adorable!"

"I want to take a photo with her and tug on her tail."

The men found those frantic women childish.

But that beauty didn’t act as wildly as those girls, she simply nodded and smiled at Monchhichi, her smile instantly melted the hearts of the surrounding gentlemen.

This behavior also underscored her uniqueness.

Monchhichi likewise waved at the girl.

Don’t be fooled by Monchhichi’s cute appearance, behind that adorable headpiece, nobody knows whether it’s hiding a man or a woman.

Malls place no gender requirement on these cartoon character performers, if you want to do it, anyone can.

After the excitement, the escalator quickly returned to calm as everyone waited to reach the end.

But then suddenly there was a surprise; one of Monchhichi’s hands quietly reached towards the hand of the beauty holding the escalator.

This scene occurs frequently in many TV shows or movies.

The beauty was entirely unaware, after all, who would reject such an adorable figure?

Every time in malls or streets when there are such cute mascots, many girls would congregate around them, either to seek a photo or a hug.

This is also a common tactic used by some merchants to attract customers by drawing them into stores with these charming mascots.

Occasionally, malls hosting events would hire mascots to liven the atmosphere.

On the upper and lower escalators, those closer to the beauty and Monchhichi saw this scene, Ye Chen included.

The beauty, however, remained entirely oblivious.

These adorable mascots would use this opportunity to take advantage of beauties, and they’d never miss, nor would they be held accountable.

The pervert beneath the cute mascot head often did this; being hired by various malls to play mascots not only to earn money, but more to take advantage of girls.

When encountering a girl with a relatively nice appearance, he would actively hug her, even briefly, satisfying his wicked heart.

When faced with unattractive girls, he would certainly keep a distance, but this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl.

In the current situation, unable to hug the beauty, seeing her opposite made his heart itch unbearably; all he could do was touch the beauty’s hand.

This could help him balance his feelings somewhat, though he was still regretful, beauties like this are rare.

It’s a matter of serendipity, not something you can seek.

If wanting to see such beauty again might be challenging; it might happen who knows when, and not only the pervert, but other men’s eyes seemed fixated on the beauty, unable to lift their gaze away.

Yet the beauty felt numb towards those men’s attitudes, even indifferent.
