Chapter 12 Don't Cry

Back in the car, Lucy and Lin Weiwei still felt as if they were in a dream.

There are many types of shopping experiences. The kind like that of Patek Philippe is probably something that can never be experienced in ordinary shopping malls.

Lin Weiwei took a quick glance at Alex through the rear-view mirror and suddenly felt that this young man in front of her was simply unfathomable.

He was dressed in clothes bought from street stalls, yet he could walk in there with great composure, his face unchanged throughout the process and handling everything with ease.

He didn't say much, but he always stepped forward at crucial moments, making a decisive decision within five minutes. That decisiveness was really something.

Lin Weiwei wasn't unfamiliar with rich people. However, having money doesn't mean spending it in a stylish way.

Every detail in the process of spending money reflects a person's own qualities and mentality.

What amazing luck did little Lucy have?

Just by taking a ride, she casually bumped into such an impressive junior...

Now, Lin Weiwei didn't think Alex was unworthy of Lucy at all. Even when she thought about her previous contempt for Alex, her face felt a bit hot.

Not to mention his family background. Just that calm and composed demeanor alone was more than enough for anyone.

Alex didn't notice the change in Lin Weiwei's attitude at all, nor did he know that his image in her mind had become so tall.

Calm and composed?

It didn't exist at all!

Being calm and composed is a state of complete detachment in mentality, while Alex was just looking calm on the surface. Actually, he was excited inside!

A young man from an ordinary family background couldn't even afford an iPhone a week ago, but now he was already wearing a watch worth 500,000 yuan.

Who could remain calm in such a situation?!

Now Alex was sitting upright, but his heart was excited. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as "mentally twisted".

Among the three people in the car, Lucy was actually the one with the healthiest mentality.

After getting over the initial awkwardness, she quickly came to her senses: His money is his own.

Anyway, I don't plan to take advantage of Alex. We'll just get along as usual!

So she was the first to ask, "Where are we going next?"

Lin Weiwei subconsciously looked back at Alex, and the meaning was clear: What do you have in mind?

Alex was quite puzzled: Weren't you going to go back to drop off the luggage?

However, since they were asking for his opinion, he might as well speak up freely.

He casually replied, "First, I'll get you settled. Then we'll go shopping. I need to buy a new set of clothes and also prepare a gift for the birthday princess."

Lin Weiwei immediately turned the steering wheel and headed towards Wangfujing.

"Then I'll accompany you to buy clothes first. There are no big shopping malls in Wudaokou. It would be exhausting to go back and forth."

Naturally, Lucy didn't have any objections. She was busy typing on her phone with her head down, too occupied to pay attention to Alex.

At this moment, a big difference emerged in their mentalities. Lin Weiwei began to focus on Alex, taking care of his needs and emotions.

However, Lucy remained the same as before.

These two mentalities actually have no right or wrong. It's just that their personalities are different.

Except for Lin Weiwei, neither Alex nor Lucy even noticed the difference.

Especially Alex. Once he got busy, he even forgot to continue interacting with Lucy while the iron was hot. Given this situation, it's no wonder he was still single.

What was he busy with?

He was busy calculating experience points.

Last night, the experience value was 29. Adding the expenses of eating in the morning, buying train tickets, and the 488,000 yuan that was just spent, it's now 78,100.

There's still a consumption shortfall of less than 220,000 yuan before reaching level 6.

The remaining loan balance is 27,000 yuan, and the breathing salary has increased to 95,279 yuan.

The gap is quite large.

Then just leave the system aside for now and spend according to normal needs.

After going back on Monday and signing contracts with any two companies casually, the money should be enough.

First, book the return train ticket for tomorrow noon, and then buy two sets of clothes.

Once the plan was set, Wangfujing was already in sight. It was quite close to Qianmen.

Lin Weiwei pulled over and let the two of them get out of the car. Then she waved her hand and said, "You two go shopping first. I'll go find a place to park. We'll keep in touch by phone!"

Opposite was the entrance of the pedestrian street, crowded with people like a surging tide, which was a bit intimidating to look at.

Lucy excitedly grabbed Alex's hand and was about to rush in. Alex quickly stepped on the brake, grabbed Lucy's hand in reverse, and turned into the Intime Department Store beside them.

"What are you doing?" Lucy pouted unhappily. "It's much more interesting inside the pedestrian street!"

Alex quickly pleaded, "Sister Three Ten Thousand, I'm just buying two sets of clothes. Is it necessary to go shopping in such a big way?

Think about how many of your girlfriends are waiting for you two. Let's quickly get things done and leave. I'll accompany you to shop again when there's a chance."

Lucy finally came to her senses and replied sullenly, "Oh."

Alex secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that this young lady was really cute. So he shook her hand.

Lucy then realized what was going on and quickly shook off Alex's hand, glaring at him fiercely.

"Watch out!"

"I'm afraid of getting lost." Alex said with a mischievous smile. "It's my first time entering such a big shopping mall. I'm nervous!"

"Annoying!"

Lucy was so angry that she slapped him.

Like hell I believe you!

You weren't nervous when buying a 500,000-yuan watch, but you're nervous about shopping in a mall?

You just want to take advantage of me!

Although a bit angry, she wasn't really annoyed. Except for his ordinary looks, Alex was good in every other aspect.

Lucy was just being reserved because she thought things were progressing too fast, not because she had no feelings for him.

If she really had no feelings, she wouldn't care where he lived.

Just like Will, go and stay wherever it's cool!

After having her hand held by Alex, Lucy felt a bit flustered. She quickly changed the topic.

"Hey, Alex, what exactly do you want to buy?"

Alex looked up and saw an ice cream shop on the second floor. He immediately grabbed Lucy's hand and led her onto the escalator.

"My stuff is simple. I'll buy you an ice cream first! Look, you're sweating on your neck."

The feeling of being cared for was sweet. Lucy gently struggled twice but couldn't pull her hand out, so she pretended to forget that her hand was being held by this little rascal again.

"I want the vanilla chocolate flavor! Half, no, one-third of it! And the rest..."

"I'll eat the rest."

Alex reacted very quickly, and thus received a satisfied smile from Lucy.

After buying a cup of vanilla chocolate ice cream, Lucy insisted on paying for it. Then she ate five spoonfuls with relish.

After thinking for a while, she scooped out a little more.

"Last spoonful!"

There was at least three-quarters of it left, and she reluctantly handed it to Alex.

"You eat it. I'll watch!"

Lucy had her own persistence. Alex wouldn't persuade her to eat more because that wouldn't be good for her but rather disrespectful.

However, Alex could praise her.

"Lucy, you're amazing! I've never seen such a self-disciplined girl like you. You're both beautiful and ambitious. The nickname 'For the Love of Lucy's Thirty Thousand Acres' is really fitting."

"Don't you call me sister anymore?!"

Lucy gave him a sideways glance, seemingly not falling for this at all. But then she actually took the initiative to hold his arm.

Alex, however, sensed something unusual from her silence.

Alex quickly looked down and saw that she was biting her lips tightly and her eyes were slightly red.

After a little thought, Alex understood her emotions and pressure.

She wanted to eat but couldn't, wanted to let loose but couldn't, and didn't even know if her persistence would bear fruit.

She could only be so confused.

Usually, she could control herself not to think about these things. But after pouring out her feelings on the train before, these emotions came back now, even more strongly.

Alex had just come out of that kind of confusion. How could he not understand?

He stood facing her, gently embraced her petite body in his arms, and comforted her softly, "You're the best girl I've ever seen. You'll surely succeed."

"Keep on persisting. Don't give yourself a chance to regret. When you're tired, my arms will always be open for you."

Lucy was almost on the verge of crying.

Among all the boys who liked her, none of them really understood her. Those so-called likes were probably just about her appearance and body.

When she poured out her feelings to Alex on the train before, Alex's reaction made her a bit disappointed.

Now, she finally understood that Alex wasn't ignorant. He just didn't bother to show off or preach big principles!

"For the Love of Lucy's Thirty Thousand Acres"...

Thirty thousand acres means vast and boundless...

Just when Lucy's tears were about to fall, Alex suddenly lifted her face, glaring at her fiercely.

"Don't cry. If you dare to cry, I'll kiss you!"

"Pfft!"

Lucy immediately burst into laughter, hitting him softly a few times, and acting coquettishly.

"You're such a tease!"
