Fairy Senior Sister Can Haggle

The next morning, Fan Jian bought breakfast for everyone.

The average person could eat their fill for less than five yuan, a price that couldn't be envied in the city.

Fan Jian owned a house in the city; he had only returned to the village this time to deal with his sister's affairs. Su Baizhou's aunt, who was his wife, had not returned and was still working in the city.

Sitting at the table, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Luo Ye and Su Baizhou both unconsciously recalled what had happened last night, neither daring to look at the other.

Their relationship felt like it had instantly dropped to freezing point, yet there was no sense of impending conflict.

Fan Jian couldn't quite describe it, but Fan Xinya understood immediately.

This wasn't a bad relationship at all; it was on the verge of a breakthrough.

As long as these two young people could get through this stage, their relationship would advance further.

Fan Xinya smiled and handed Luo Ye an egg, saying, "Xiao Ye, you look a bit weak. You should get more protein."

"Thank you, Auntie," Luo Ye replied politely.

He stayed up late every day and truly didn't look energetic.

As she spoke, Fan Xinya added, "Xiao Ye, you go to the same school as our Fanfan. Please take care of her. This girl has an irregular schedule. Even though you're young, you should think about the future."

"You're right, Auntie. I'll definitely remind Senior Sister often," Luo Ye said.

Fan Xinya's health wasn't good. In her youth, she was a workaholic, a strong woman who was extremely popular at her company, which is why her husband became dissatisfied.

Not everyone liked strong women, and not everyone liked women who were stronger than them.

After breakfast, Fan Jian called out to Luo Ye and Su Baizhou and got on his electric tricycle.

Sitting behind him, Luo Ye asked, "Uncle, where are we going?"

Hearing the word "Uncle," Su Baizhou glanced at Luo Ye but said nothing.

Fan Jian said, "Fanfan said yesterday that you didn't have any spare clothes. Today, Uncle will take you to town to buy a couple of sets."

Hearing Fan Jian also refer to himself as "Uncle," Su Baizhou looked ahead again.

When did these two reach some kind of understanding?

And yesterday, Fan Jian had been quite harsh with Luo Ye. How did their relationship suddenly improve today?

Soon, the tricycle stopped in town.

Today was a special day for the town.

It was market day!

The market was crowded, a sea of people. At a glance, there weren't many people dressed lavishly or appearing wealthy; everyone was simple and unadorned.

The sounds of bargaining filled the air, and some people were even yelling at the vendors to haggle.

Su Baizhou calmly observed the scene.

Today, Su Baizhou was dressed simply as well: a plain white long-sleeved shirt and simple, loose black pants.

She wore no makeup, and her hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head, giving her a demure appearance.

At this moment, Fan Jian received a phone call.

It was from Fan Xinya.

Whatever was said on the phone caused Fan Jian's expression to change, and he looked at Luo Ye and Su Baizhou.

Then, he spoke loudly to himself, "Ah! Something happened at home? You want me to go back? Okay, okay, I'll be right back."

Without giving Luo Ye and Su Baizhou time to react, Fan Jian got on the electric tricycle and said, "Fanfan, buy Xiao Ye a couple of outfits and take him around. Call me when you're done, and I'll pick you up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the electric tricycle seemed to transform into a motorcycle, letting out a roar. With a 360-degree turn, it sped away instantly.

Only Luo Ye and Su Baizhou were left, staring blankly at the disappearing tricycle...

"Um... Senior Sister?"

Luo Ye glanced at Su Baizhou's profile, and the events of last night flooded his mind once more.

He lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at his Senior Sister again.

Su Baizhou turned around and said calmly, "Let's go."

Su Baizhou walked ahead, with Luo Ye following behind, curiously looking around.

Beside them, an auntie grabbed Luo Ye and said enthusiastically, "Young man, fresh bighead carp, want one?"

"N-no, thank you," Luo Ye politely refused.

But the surrounding noise made him feel a little flustered.

"Clearance sale! Everything nine yuan ninety!"

"Snails! Fried snails! Young man, want a portion?"

"Bargain prices, bargain prices, watermelons at bargain prices. If they're not sweet, you don't pay."

The enthusiasm from everyone around was overwhelming for Luo Ye. He flinched, quickly moving to Su Baizhou's side and standing closer to his senior sister.

He felt like if he didn't stick close to her, he'd be lured away by the eager stall owners.

Looking at Luo Ye beside her, Su Baizhou's lips curved upward, as if she might break into a smile at any moment.

She softly asked, "What color do you like?"

By now, the two had arrived at a street dedicated to buying clothes.

All sorts of clothes were on display, a dazzling array that Luo Ye could barely take in.

And the prices were incredibly cheap. The pants next to Luo Ye were three for ninety-nine yuan.

Wasn't that practically free?

"Anything... anything is fine. What do you like, Senior Sister?"

Hearing this, Su Baizhou began to walk, heading towards one of the vendors.

At some point, Luo Ye noticed that Su Baizhou had rolled up her sleeves, giving off the impression she was ready for a fight.

Su Baizhou pointed to a pink top priced at 300 yuan and said, "This one."

"Will you sell it for 50 yuan?"

Luo Ye's eyes widened instantly.

F-fifty?

A sixfold price cut?

Would she really not get beaten?

The vendor's expression shifted, clearly having met his match.

He hadn't expected this young girl to be so bold when bargaining.

"Fifty, little girl, that's not even the cost price. How about this, 260, and you can take it."

"80 at most. If not, I'm leaving."

Su Baizhou turned and started to walk away.

"Hey, how about 150? 120?? 100!!??"

Based on the bargaining mechanics, Luo Ye felt his senior sister would turn back.

Cutting the price from 300 to 100 was already a miracle.

But.

Su Baizhou didn't look back.

The stall owner gritted his teeth and shouted, "80 it is!"

Luo Ye's mouth formed an "o" shape, completely stunned.

Fairy Senior Sister... amazing!

Luo Ye gave his senior sister a thumbs-up in his heart.

After that, he followed her around, bargaining for prices.

In the end, Su Baizhou bought him two outfits, costing less than three hundred yuan in total.

Although the clothes weren't particularly stylish, they suited Luo Ye perfectly.

And besides, they were bought by Su Baizhou, imbued with the "Senior Sister Halo."

Afterward, the two went to browse other places and bought a lot of food.

Su Baizhou was going to cook herself today.

Seeing how happily Luo Ye had eaten the meal prepared by Fan Xinya yesterday, Su Baizhou felt a little unconvinced.

So, Su Baizhou bought a fish and a chicken.

Luo Ye carried the fish in one hand and the chicken in the other, standing with Fairy Senior Sister outside the market, waiting for his uncle to pick them up.

Both the fish and the chicken were still alive.

Luo Ye asked, "Are we killing them when we get back?"

"Mmm... I'll personally send them on their way to reincarnation."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye was first stunned, then he burst into laughter.

The awkwardness between them seemed to have vanished.

And shopping at the market together felt like an old married couple.
