Chapter 4: Expensive Baby

  Chapter 4 Baby

  After a few flashes, Ye Bai stopped at the end of a small alley with no one under his eyes, and after glancing around, he walked towards one end of the alley.

  Out of the alley and onto the main street of Xueyuan Road, it was already evening at this time. The sky was pitch black, with no stars or moon visible, but the streets were brightly lit.

  Ye Bai walked for about twenty minutes and arrived at the front gate of a residential area.

  There is a horizontal stone beam above the main gate of the community, with four large characters "Tianfu Mingyuan" written on it. Due to the colorful lights on the gate head, those four words are particularly clear.

  Ye Bai pulled out the photo from his pocket, glanced at the back of it and nodded: "Tianjing City, Xueyuan Road, Tianfu Mingyuan, this is the place."

  Apart from these messages, Ye Bai also knew that the girl in the photo was called Yang Qing, and nothing else.

  But on the way, Ye Bai already had a plan... Lao Jiaohua has never given him an easy task, and this time going down the mountain to tease his sister is definitely a tough battle. To fight a hard battle, he must be prepared, and he can't be as naive as when he was a child and touched the tiger's legs.

  When craftsmen wish to do good work, they must first sharpen their tools!

  Ye Bai stood at the entrance of Tianfu Mingyuan for a while, then resolutely turned around and left.

  Across the street, there was a clothing store, and Ye Bai prepared to change into a new outfit first.

  Ye Bai didn't even look at the sign of the clothing store and directly pushed open the door and walked in.

  There were two female sales clerks in the store, both very young girls. They were originally chatting and laughing with each other, but as soon as Ye Bai walked in, they both fell silent at the same time.

  "Get out! Get out! We don't have any change for you here!" one of the female clerks yelled at Ye Bai.

  "Sister, I'm not..."

  "Sister? Who's your sister? Get out of here!"

  Ye Bai's words were not yet finished, when the salesperson wearing a short-sleeved uniform dress, had already taken over the conversation, with a look of disdain on her face.

  This little girl must have thought I was a beggar!

  Damn it, have you ever seen a beggar as handsome as me?

  Ye Bai was not pleased in his heart, but he endured it. After all, his outfit was indeed too shabby. He still had a faint smile on his face and said as gently as possible: "Don't you guys do business anymore?"

  At this point, Ye Bai had already taken out a stack of red banknotes from his pocket.

  "Huh?"

  The salesperson who had just told Ye Bai to get out was immediately stunned, she looked at the stack of cash in Ye Bai's hand and thought... this thick stack should be around 30,000 yuan.

  However, this store is a high-end fashion brand, and the sales staff here naturally have some vision, and they won't be too surprised by a stack of cash. It's just that such a thick stack of cash appears in the hands of someone who looks like a beggar, and they can't help but feel out of place.

  "Sir, what style of clothes would you like to buy? Please take a look over here. These are all the new summer men's wear that just came out this year."

  Another female salesperson reacted relatively quickly, walking briskly to Ye Bai's side. Despite catching a whiff of body odor, she steeled herself and led Ye Bai to the side.

  Ye Bai hadn't worn anything good before, so he wouldn't be picky either. With the help of the two sales assistants, he quickly picked out a summer outfit that fit him quite well... A short-sleeved shirt with floral patterns and a pair of slim-fit trousers, paired with a free white leather belt, made Ye Bai look much more presentable at once.

  "Sir, would you like to choose another pair of shoes?" a salesclerk asked politely.

  "Good."

  Ye Bai nodded and suddenly asked: "Where is the restroom?"

  "Over there, sir."

  A salesperson pointed to a passageway on the left side of the counter.

  Yè Bái first expressed his gratitude and then went into the restroom. As for the separation of male and female restrooms in the city, he had already read about it in books, so naturally he wouldn't make a mistake and walk into the wrong one.

  Close the bathroom door, Ye Bai let out a mouthful of turbid air, he didn't come to relieve himself, but to wash his feet.

  After walking for a day, even if he thought he was an expert, he knew his feet stank, so he wanted to come and wash them first, and then wash his face as well. Being all dusty and dirty really wasn't like him.

  After washing his feet and face clean, Ye Bai came out of the bathroom, and at the same time, he praised in his heart: "The toilets in the city are all fragrant!"

  Back in the store, the two female sales clerks looked at Ye Bai with a different gaze.

  Yè Bái was still wearing his new clothes, and the dirt on his face had been washed away. As the saying goes, "clothes make the man," and at this moment, Yè Bái looked nothing like a beggar or a vagabond. Although he appeared somewhat thin, his features were well-proportioned, with a pale complexion, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, red lips, and white teeth. Except for some dandruff on his black hair, which was slightly unsightly, he basically looked like the standard handsome guy that modern girls would fall for.

  What's more worth mentioning is that Ye Bai had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth all along, also giving people a feeling of being extremely easy to get close to.

  "It's time to choose shoes." After washing his feet, Ye Bai also felt a lot more confident.

  The two female shop assistants finally came back to their senses and hastily led Ye Bai towards the shoe rack.

  She also chose a pair of red casual flat shoes, and the salesgirl kindly gave her shoe pads and a pair of socks, which made Ye Bai very satisfied.

  It was okay until the bill came out, then Yeh Bai wasn't satisfied.

  A plaid shirt, slim trousers and casual leather shoes, these three items together cost 23,500 yuan, which is the total price after a 10% discount.

  Fortunately, Ye Bai had 250 banknotes in his hand, which was equivalent to 25,000 yuan.

  The money was easy to come by, and Ye Bai didn't have a specific concept of cash either. Although the sudden loss of more than half of his cash made him unhappy, he still settled the bill very efficiently.

  At least I'm somewhat like a city person now.

  Nor did he take off his clothes, pants and shoes to pack, Ye Bai also learned from the books he had read, casually throwing two red banknotes on the counter as a tip.

  "Sir, we don't accept tips." A salesperson hastily said.

  It's actually a clothing store, not one of those entertainment venues.

  "Not receiving?"

  Yè Bái's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, but then he said: "I'll ask you guys something, and if you tell me the truth, I'll consider this money as a consultation fee, how about it?"

  The two female shop assistants looked at each other in dismay and then nodded simultaneously.

  "Across from Tianfu Mingyuan lives a girl named Yang Qing, do you know her?" Ye Bai asked with an expectant face.

  The reason why he chose to buy clothes in this clothing store was that it faced Tianfu Mingyuan, and Ye Bai thought that he should be able to get some information here.

  To fight a well-prepared hard battle, it is better to know oneself and know others.

  "Do you know Yang Qing?"

  At some point, a young girl appeared in the store and asked curiously.

  Ye Bai turned his head and took a glance, a girl wearing a sky blue short-sleeved T-shirt on top and a light yellow seven-eighths sports pants on the bottom, carrying a small exquisite leather bag in her hand, entered his line of sight.

  The girl student had a round face, with a few baby fats, looking very tender and delicate. She also had a pair of big round eyes, with clear and bright pupils, looking like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, giving off a vibrant and youthful aura.

  "Bei Bei, how did you come?" A female salesperson greeted with surprise and delight.

  "Yang Qing and her friends went to watch a movie, no one is at home, so I came out for a stroll."

  The girl called Beibei responded gloomily at first, then looked at Ye Bai and said, "Do you know Yang Qing?"

  "Let's just say we know each other." Ye Bai shifted his gaze and replied.

  "Knowing is just knowing, what's the point of calling it knowing?" Beibei was clearly very dissatisfied with Ye Bai's answer.

  "It's just that I know her, but she doesn't know me." Ye Bai replied with a bitter smile.

  "Oh." Beibei seemed to have realized something, a hint of a smile rising on her face, "You also want to pursue her, don't you?"

  Babe looked Ye Bai up and down again, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Not bad, at least much better than Jiang Xuan, and can rival my brother! However, I have some bad news to tell you, Yang Qing is currently watching a movie with Jiang Xuan... By the way, Yang Qing doesn't even know you yet, your pace is too slow, are you a turtle or a snail?"
