Before leaving, the two reached an agreement: Firefly would pay two-thirds, and Lin Yuyou would cover the rest.

Their arrangement left the cashier at a loss, but in keeping with the principle that the customer came first, the cashier accepted their payments as requested.

Once they left the café, Lin Yuyou grabbed Firefly and headed straight for a clothing store. "Come on, Sister Firefly, let's go over here!"

As soon as they entered, the dazzling array of clothes stopped Lin Yuyou in her tracks. "Ooh! There are so many pretty clothes!"

It couldn't be helped. Girls simply had no resistance to pretty clothes~

Still, the money her brother had given her wouldn't support a shopping spree, though buying one outfit was possible.

Lin Yuyou wandered around the store, picking out all kinds of clothes, while Firefly followed beside her, catching everything Lin Yuyou handed over. She looked just like a boyfriend accompanying his girlfriend shopping.

"All right, Sister Firefly, take these and try them on." Lin Yuyou waved her hand, motioning for her to go try them.

"Huh? You picked all these out for me?" She had thought Yuyou had chosen all the clothes in her arms for herself. After all, she had mainly come out to keep Yuyou company, so she was merely tagging along.

"Of course! Sister Firefly, you're so pretty. Wearing such frumpy clothes is a waste of your looks!"

"All right, enough of that. Hurry up and see if they fit!" Lin Yuyou pushed Firefly into the changing room.

Inside the changing room, Firefly looked at the pile of clothes in her arms and let out a long sigh. What else could I do? Time to change!

Firefly tried on one outfit after another, the swish of the curtain opening sounding again and again. Sweet girl looks, mature and elegant looks, office wear, school outfits-Firefly could pull off all sorts of styles. The clothing store instantly became her personal fashion show. It had to be said that Firefly really was beautiful, and with her absolutely stunning figure, she looked good in anything. This drew quite a few customers over, thinking some celebrity had come shopping.

But quite a few of the guys could tell the two probably weren't celebrities. If they really were, how could they go shopping so openly without even a few bodyguards? Besides, they seemed to be just two girls. They might even be single!

A group of single dogs began itching to go ask for their WeChat, but not one dared approach. Still, they were right not to make a move. Otherwise, all that awaited them would have been merciless rejection and social death.

Yet there was always someone brave enough to step forward and stick his neck out.

A handsome young man with side-parted hair and a frequent smile stepped forward, walking straight toward Firefly and Lin Yuyou.

His name was Wang Chengxu, and he had just broken up with his fifteenth girlfriend today. He had been wondering where to find his next girlfriend, only to find her right here. And she was prettier than any girlfriend he'd ever had! He was determined to win her over!

He glanced back at the other guys behind him and shook his head in disappointment. They didn't even dare approach her. A bunch of losers! How could they date without any courage?

He walked up beside Lin Yuyou and tapped her shoulder with a smile. "Hello there, little girl~"

Lin Yuyou, who had been taking pictures, stopped at his tap. She turned to look at Wang Chengxu, her expression unchanging. "Uncle, do you need something?"

Everyone around them snickered at her response.

U-Uncle!? Did I look that old?

Wang Chengxu's mouth twitched at that, and even his smile froze. He didn't know what to say.

Having spoken, Lin Yuyou turned away and ignored him. She could tell at a glance that this guy was after Sister Firefly.

How could she let him succeed? Sister Firefly was someone she had her eye on! Besides, Sister Firefly liked her brother. How could she possibly say yes to this guy?

Hopefully, he would know when to give up.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuyou had underestimated his shamelessness. Not only did he stay, but he went a step further and grabbed her wrist.

"Little girl, I'm no uncle~ Could you introduce that big sister to me~?" Wang Chengxu pointed at Firefly a short distance away.

"Oh~? Big brother? Sorry, I couldn't tell. If you want her contact info, why don't you ask her yourself? Oh, I know. Could it be that you're scared, big brother~?"

Seeing that he hadn't given up, Lin Yuyou sharpened her words considerably, making Wang Chengxu seethe.

No one had ever spoken to him like that in his entire life!

He seized Lin Yuyou's hand forcefully, his voice angry. "Little girl, what kind of way is that to talk? Why is your mouth so nasty? I'll teach you a lesson on your parents' behalf!"

Just as Wang Chengxu was about to strike, Firefly suddenly appeared and stopped him. "What are you trying to do?!"

Firefly had been feeling rather shy while trying on clothes with a crowd around her. She had wanted to find Yuyou and see if they could leave, but when she looked over, she spotted a man beside Yuyou who was about to hit her.

Oh no, Yuyou's in danger!

Without another word, Firefly rushed over and grabbed his outstretched hand.

"What are you trying to do to Yuyou?!" Her gaze was icy, her low voice so sharp it seemed ready to slice him to pieces.

Both Wang Chengxu and Lin Yuyou were startled by Firefly.

Although Lin Yuyou had only known Sister Firefly for half a day, she had always thought of her as gentle, shy, and cute. The contrast with how she looked now was far too striking!

Unlike the stunned Lin Yuyou, Wang Chengxu immediately prepared to flirt and show off when he saw the person he wanted right before him. But he probably hadn't imagined that a welcoming smile wasn't what awaited him.

"Hello, beautiful miss. Interested in getting to know each other~?"

"I asked what you were trying to do to Yuyou." Firefly's voice remained icy, paying no attention to what he was saying.

When things didn't go as he had imagined, Wang Chengxu began to stammer.

"N-Nothing. I just wanted to pat her head. Haha..."

Wang Chengxu laughed awkwardly and tried to pull his hand free, only to discover that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break her grip.

Hearing Wang Chengxu's words, Lin Yuyou immediately ran behind Firefly and poked her head out to complain to her.

"You're lying! You were clearly reaching out to hit me!"

At Lin Yuyou's words, another trace of coldness entered Firefly's eyes. "Is what she said true?!"

"Uh... well, um..."

Wang Chengxu was speechless, because what she had said was true. Besides, Firefly was very strong. If he lied, she might beat him into a foldable phone!

"Apologize!"

"Huh...? Oh, sorry! I shouldn't have tried to hit you!" Coming to his senses, Wang Chengxu immediately apologized.

Lin Yuyou said, "Fine. Since you've apologized, I'm not someone who fusses over every little thing. I forgive you!"

"You can go." Firefly released Wang Chengxu's hand.

Wang Chengxu rubbed his aching wrist, but instead of leaving immediately, he leaned toward Firefly. "I've apologized, so could this beautiful miss add me as a friend? When there's time later, I can make it up to both of you~"

Despite what he said, Wang Chengxu was thinking of asking only Firefly out when the time came!

But Firefly still said nothing, merely staring coldly at him until he felt unnerved.

"Ahaha, looks like you're not interested. Th-Then forget it. I'll get going~"

With that, Wang Chengxu fled the scene. This was the first time he had ended up in such a sorry state while hitting on someone, and the experience dealt quite a blow to his pride.

Once he had left, Firefly turned anxiously toward Lin Yuyou. "Yuyou, are you all right? Are you hurt? That man didn't do anything to you, did he?!"

"Oh, I'm fine~ Sister Firefly, you're too sensitive."

"How could I not be! If something happened to you, how would I explain it to Lin Yu?!"
