Buying a Bathtub

After daybreak, Lu Siye left Unit 703 and arrived at the entrance of Jucai District.

Since he had money in his pocket now, Lu Siye wasn't planning on riding a shared bike this time. Instead, he chose to call a Didi.

It might have been the morning rush hour, as Lu Siye waited for five or six minutes before a driver accepted his ride.

Another five or six minutes passed, and the driver arrived. Lu Siye opened the back door and got in. He rolled down the window, rested his elbow on the sill, and propped his head up with his hand.

He felt the not-so-cool breeze, watching the slow-moving traffic on the road, and the motorcycles and electric bikes weaving through the cars.

He watched the breakfast vendor on the street, sweating profusely under the scorching steam as they took money and made change.

He watched the crowd rushing to buy breakfast, hurrying to the bus stop without even time to eat, eager to get to work.

Lu Siye sighed, his heart filled with emotion.

A little over a week ago, he had found a job. On his first day of internship, he had also bought a few steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, eating on the go while rushing to the bus stop.

However, he only interned for half a day before his supervisor told him he was unqualified. He was unemployed less than half a day after starting his career.

He originally thought he would just be one of the masses from now on, but then he encountered an Evil Ghost and received the System.

Lu Siye looked down at the date on his phone: July 25th. Exactly one week had passed since he met the Takeout Ghost.

In just seven days, Lu Siye felt like a lifetime had passed.

Ding dong~

A notification sound came from his phone. It was a message from Chen Feiguang.

Lu Siye exited the calendar and tapped on the message. It was a link with a message below it.

"Brother Lu, here's the website link for the welfare coupons you wanted."

After reading it, Lu Siye replied with an OK emoji.

The welfare coupon website Chen Feiguang mentioned wasn't actually a legitimate site. It was a website established by the Luo Net.

The money that appeared out of nowhere in the accounts of the seven victims of the jumping incident and Chen Feiguang's group was received after they purchased welfare coupons on this website.

For others, this welfare coupon website might be a life-devouring Evil Ghost; for the Town Demon Suppression Division, it was a thorny problem.

But for Lu Siye, it was an ATM that he found pleasing no matter how he looked at it!

"Damn it, this road is always jammed! Always jammed!" The driver's annoyed voice echoed in the car.

Lu Siye looked up ahead and saw a long line of vehicles. He glanced around and realized they were still stuck in the same spot, not moving at all.

Lu Siye's face twitched. He felt like he was out of his mind for taking a Didi during rush hour.

After waiting a few more minutes, the car remained completely still. Lu Siye started to idly look at the shops lining the street.

Suddenly, Lu Siye noticed a large furniture store, and his eyes lit up.

He remembered his rather spacious bathroom. Now that he had money, shouldn't he get himself a bathtub?

Having made up his mind, Lu Siye discussed it with the driver, changed his destination, paid the fare, and got out of the car right where they were.

Lu Siye walked past the many unmoving cars and headed towards the furniture store once he reached the roadside.

The furniture store wasn't far from Lu Siye. Before long, he arrived inside.

Because it was early in the morning, there weren't many other customers in the furniture store. Most of the staff were bored, playing on their phones.

The newly arrived sales assistants at the information desk were chatting together. When they saw Lu Siye enter, a beautiful young lady with long legs enthusiastically walked over.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the sales assistant asked with a smile.

Lu Siye looked down at the sales assistant, who was shorter than him, and frowned slightly.

Why does it feel like the activity of ghosts has become more frequent lately?

The reason for this question was that he saw a faint trace of Yin energy on the sales assistant in front of him.

"Sir?" The young lady felt a bit shy from being stared at and turned her head away shyly.

"Oh! Sorry, do you have bathtubs?" Lu Siye snapped back to reality. Staring at someone like that was indeed a bit rude.

"It's okay, sir. The bathtubs are on the third floor. Please follow me!" The sales assistant wasn't angry; she was even a little delighted.

Lu Siye was over 1.8 meters tall and had a naturally sunny disposition. After practicing martial arts, he exuded even more masculine energy. Coupled with his well-defined muscles, he could be called a handsome man.

Humans instinctively pursue beauty. Most people don't get angry when they are stared at by a handsome or beautiful person.

He followed the sales assistant to the third floor. Lu Siye was dazzled by the numerous bathtubs and didn't know which one to choose.

Finally, upon the sales assistant's recommendation, Lu Siye bought a bathtub costing over six thousand yuan. It came with free delivery and installation services. Afterward, he got an invoice at the front desk.

The two returned to the sales desk. Lu Siye looked at the sales assistant and boldly took out his phone, saying to her, "Miss, would you mind adding me on social media?"

The sales assistant seemed a bit stunned, standing there blankly, unsure of what to do for a moment.

Her colleagues behind her, who were watching, were more anxious than she was. They quickly nudged her from behind.

The sales assistant suddenly came to her senses. She couldn't believe that the scene she had imagined was actually happening to her today.

Blushing, she took out her phone and handed her QR code to Lu Siye.

Lu Siye reached out, supporting her hand, and raised her phone slightly. Then, he subtly circulated the Northern Darkness Divine Art, silently absorbing the Yin energy from her body and leaving a trace of internal energy in her hand.

The sales assistant's heart raced when Lu Siye's palm touched hers. She felt her face flush even more, and the chill that had been occasionally emanating from her body vanished.

Beep~

Her phone made a sound – the friend request was successful!

"Um... my name is Zhuang Xiaoman!" the sales assistant shyly said.

"Lu Siye!"

After they both updated their contact names, Lu Siye, adhering to the principle that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, reminded Zhuang Xiaoman before leaving: "It's been a bit unstable at night lately. Try to finish work early and stick to crowded places when you go home."

Is he worried about me?

Zhuang Xiaoman's eyes widened, her heart pounding like a startled deer. She nodded with a blush.

Seeing that Zhuang Xiaoman had taken his words to heart, Lu Siye left the store with peace of mind.

Less than three seconds after Lu Siye's figure disappeared at the entrance, a burst of howling erupted from inside.

"Nice one, Xiaoman! You've got skills! When can we expect the official announcement?"

"Yeah, yeah, Xiaoman! How did you manage it? Teach us!"

"N-no, that's not it!"

"Oh, come on~ Still playing coy!"

Lu Siye, standing at the entrance, twitched the corner of his mouth as he listened to the voices behind him.

I just genuinely wanted to save someone.
