Accompanying Xu Xiaoyan Shopping (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Ticket! Seeking Recommendation Ticket!)
"Xiaopeng, Shaoyu, I'm hungry. Let's go have lunch!" Wei Dayong rubbed his stomach and said with a simple grin.
"Sure," Jing Shaoyu agreed with a nod, then asked curiously, "Big guy, why are you calling me Young Master Jing?"
"Huh?" Wei Dayong froze, then sold Duan Xiaopeng out without the slightest hesitation. "Xiaopeng told me to call you that."
"Big guy, you!" Duan Xiaopeng stared at Wei Dayong, speechless.
"Hahaha, all right, don't call me Young Master Jing. Just call me Shaoyu," Jing Shaoyu said, unable to keep from laughing.
The cafeteria of Eastsea Academy's Intermediate Department had three floors, and the first floor was for First and Second Year cadets.
The cafeteria had three windows, offering Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C food respectively. Grade C Meals were provided for free, and there was no limit—you could eat as much as you wanted. However, they were all ordinary ingredients, and aside from filling the stomach, they had no other effect.
Grade B Meals and Grade A Meals both had to be paid for. As the highest-grade meal, the Grade A Meal cost an astonishing one thousand Federal Currency per serving. Of course, you got what you paid for. The ingredients in Grade A Meals were all excellent special ingredients with nourishing effects.
Wei Dayong and Duan Xiaopeng each ordered a Grade B Meal worth one hundred Federal Currency, while Jing Shaoyu ordered a Grade A Meal.
"Shaoyu, and you still say you're not some rich family's young master! This is a Grade A Meal!" Duan Xiaopeng couldn't help crying out when he saw Jing Shaoyu's Grade A Meal.
"I really am from an ordinary family," Jing Shaoyu said, shaking his head helplessly as he explained, "I just happen to have a little pocket money on hand."
"A little? Heh!" Hearing this, Duan Xiaopeng couldn't help exchanging a bitter smile with Wei Dayong. Clearly, neither of them believed Jing Shaoyu.
Jing Shaoyu did not offer any further explanation. He did indeed have a rather sizable amount of pocket money, but he had earned all of it himself, not received it from Jing Ziyuan. After all, no matter how one put it, he had been collecting the Federation's Soul Master Subsidy since he was six.
At one ring, he could receive two thousand five hundred in Soul Master Subsidy every month from the Federation and East Sea City Lord's Mansion. After reaching two rings, that increased to four thousand a month. Over three years, it was enough to save up a considerable sum.
What was more, he had other, faster ways of making money.
"Oh my god, he can eat way too much!"
After Jing Shaoyu and the other two finished eating and were preparing to leave, they saw quite a few people faintly gathered around a table, letting out surprised exclamations from time to time.
"What happened?" Wei Dayong was the sort who loved watching excitement, so he immediately headed over. Duan Xiaopeng followed close behind, while Jing Shaoyu walked over unhurriedly. He could vaguely guess the reason.
Sure enough, just as Jing Shaoyu had guessed, Tang Wulin had eaten too much, which had attracted quite a few cadets to gather and watch. Perhaps everyone had never seen someone who could eat this much before, especially a child about the same age as them.
"Oh my god, that guy looks so frail. How can he eat that much?" On the way back to the dormitory, Wei Dayong still had not recovered from his shock and said this to Duan Xiaopeng.
"How would I know? Maybe there's a dragon living in that guy's stomach!" Duan Xiaopeng rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
"Heh, maybe there really is!" Hearing Duan Xiaopeng's jab, Jing Shaoyu revealed a strange smile, then said, "That guy isn't as frail as the big guy said. Remember the group fighting on the second floor before lunch? He was the winner."
"Huh?" Wei Dayong and Duan Xiaopeng both froze. Earlier, they had both been paying attention to the guy embedded in the wall and had not noticed at all who had done it. Now that they heard Jing Shaoyu say it was actually Tang Wulin, the guy Wei Dayong thought looked frail, both of them found it somewhat hard to believe.
"Haha, you'll know in the future," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, Jing Shaoyu received a call from Xu Xiaoyan. Thus, he left the dormitory again and went to the academy gate to wait for her.
After rejecting two senior schoolgirls who had come up to chat with him in succession, Xu Xiaoyan finally arrived late.
"Little Yu Brother, you really are popular!" As soon as Xu Xiaoyan appeared, she hugged his arm as if declaring ownership, her pretty face brimming with a joyful smile.
"Haha, it's all right," Jing Shaoyu said, paying no mind to the faint jealousy in Xu Xiaoyan's words. He laughed aloud and asked, "What did you call me out for?"
"Can't I come find you if there's nothing?" Xu Xiaoyan said, somewhat dissatisfied as she shook her little braid.
"If you won't say it, then I'm going back to cultivate," Jing Shaoyu said at once, pretending to be displeased and putting on a stern face.
"No!" Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan immediately grew anxious and said, "I'll say it, I'll say it, okay? Little Yu Brother, honestly, you have no sense of romance!"
"Then say it," Jing Shaoyu said in a flat tone, while secretly holding back laughter.
"I want you to go shopping with me," Xu Xiaoyan said coquettishly, hugging Jing Shaoyu's arm.
"That's it?" Hearing this, Jing Shaoyu was somewhat speechless.
"Please? Please?" Xu Xiaoyan shook Jing Shaoyu's arm and asked in a sweet, tender voice.
"All right!" If Jing Shaoyu still refused, then he really would have no sense of romance. He nodded and agreed.
"Yay!" Xu Xiaoyan immediately cheered happily and jumped while holding Jing Shaoyu. Afterward, she blushed shyly and made a request. "Then, can we ride a bike there?"
"So this was your real goal!" Jing Shaoyu immediately understood. Looking at Xu Xiaoyan's nervous yet somewhat expectant eyes, he did not answer right away whether they could or could not.
"If it's inconvenient, we can walk too!" Seeing Jing Shaoyu fall silent, a trace of dimness flashed through Xu Xiaoyan's large eyes, then she pretended not to care and said this.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it." Jing Shaoyu noticed the disappointment in the girl's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little pained. He sighed and said this.
A moment later, Jing Shaoyu rode his bicycle out of Eastsea Academy. On the back seat of the bicycle, Xu Xiaoyan's pretty face carried satisfaction and delight. She wrapped her arms around Jing Shaoyu's waist, her eyes curved into crescents, and the corners of her mouth looked as if lanterns could be hung from them.
The first time—Xu Xiaoyan would never forget it. This was her first time sitting on Jing Shaoyu's back seat. In the past, when Na'er was around, this had been Na'er's exclusive seat, and no one else could sit there at all. And now, this spot finally belonged to her!
Thinking this, Xu Xiaoyan tightened her arms around Jing Shaoyu's waist a little more.
The two arrived at East Sea City Pedestrian Street. This street had every kind of shop and facility for eating, drinking, and entertainment, making it very suitable for young couples to visit during holidays. Jing Shaoyu had come here many times before, sometimes with Na'er, sometimes with Xu Xiaoyan. In short, he was already extremely familiar with it.
The two played and fooled around, and time quickly reached evening. Only then did they return to Eastsea Academy, still somewhat reluctant to leave. Eastsea Academy had School Rules, and those who stayed out overnight would be punished. Jing Shaoyu did not want to carry a disciplinary mark right after school started. That would be far too embarrassing.
"Goodbye, Little Yu Brother!" Jing Shaoyu escorted Xu Xiaoyan to the girls' Dormitory Building. Xu Xiaoyan's pretty face showed a bit of fatigue, but her excitement could not be hidden. After saying goodbye to Jing Shaoyu in a sweet voice, she stood on tiptoe and left a fragrant kiss on Jing Shaoyu's cheek before blushing and running into the Dormitory Building.
Jing Shaoyu savored the feeling of Xu Xiaoyan's soft, plump lips and couldn't help revealing a heartfelt smile.
Just as he turned around and prepared to leave, he saw Xu Xiaoyu with eyes blazing and Ouyang Zixin covering her mouth as she snickered. In an instant, Jing Shaoyu wanted to flee this place.
Awkward. This was too awkward. He had lured away someone's little sister, only to be caught red-handed by her older brother. This really was too awkward!
"Xiao Yu Ge, Sister Zixin, what a coincidence! You two are on a date too, haha. Well, uh, I'll head back first. Bye!" Jing Shaoyu could only bite the bullet and greet them, then immediately turned around, got on his bike, and fled.
Xu Xiaoyu watched Jing Shaoyu leave in a hurry, feeling a surge of anger—but even more than that, helplessness. His little sister was way too foolish. How could she let that brat get away with it so easily? She was only nine! How had they already kissed? In a few years, was she going to give him a nephew? No. He had to properly educate Xiao Yan and absolutely not let her mess around!
Thinking this, Xu Xiaoyu turned and left.
"Huh? Xiao Yu Ge, where are you going?" Ouyang Zixin stood there, a little at a loss, and called out.
"Home. Go eat by yourself first!" Xu Xiaoyu shouted without looking back.
"Seriously! You stupid siscon!" Ouyang Zixin stamped her foot angrily, then ran into the Dormitory Building with a dejected look on her face. She wasn't in the mood to eat anymore either.
If Jing Shaoyu knew what Xu Xiaoyu was thinking and doing, he would definitely tell him helplessly, Brother-in-law, you're overthinking it. We're still just kids!
