I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 288 Liao Xuexue’s Gift

Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Liao Xuexue’s Gift

The whole person was bouncing and jumping around, excited like a little bunny frolicking in the grass.

She held shopping bags in both hands, circling around Ye Chen for a while, then running back and forth around him.

At the same time, her face carried an excited expression; she felt utterly content.

"Mr. Ye, that was just too awesome!"

"Did you see the expression on that lady in red just now?"

"I almost burst out laughing! It really was satisfying. Could this be the legendary ’power of money’ they talk about?"

Ye Chen helplessly pursed his lips.

Really, there’s no dealing with this girl.

Was it just buying a few clothes? Was it worth getting this excited?

But thinking about it, Ye Chen soon came to terms with it.

It’s actually quite understandable.

For women buying clothes, it’s like their group of fishermen buying new fishing rods.

Moreover, the clothes we just bought for Liao Xuexue,

In the world of fishing rods, they would be considered a second-tier luxury brand.

No wonder Liao Xuexue was excited.

Thinking this, Ye Chen inexplicably started to laugh.

Seeing Ye Chen suddenly chuckle, Liao Xuexue blinked her watery eyes, and asked curiously, "Mr. Ye, what are you laughing at?"

Ye Chen: "Nothing, I just thought of something happy."

Liao Xuexue gave Ye Chen a sidelong glance and then said to him, "Mr. Ye, to thank you, I’ll treat you to hotpot, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen just happened to feel a bit hungry.

To tell the truth, accompanying a woman on a shopping trip is really a physically demanding task.

So, he didn’t refuse.

The two of them, carrying these items, took the escalator to the top floor of the mall to find a hotpot restaurant called "Hedi Lao."

Ye Chen hadn’t eaten at this place before, but he had seen it online.

"Hedi Lao" is particularly popular, with branches all over the country, and is especially loved by college students.

However, when Ye Chen looked at the prices of dishes on the tablet inside the restaurant, he couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.

It was just regular hotpot, but they were selling it for such a high price; a serving of vegetables cost more than twenty yuan.

Then there were beef, lamb, tripe and the like, all with an average price of over fifty or sixty yuan.

Perhaps sensing Ye Chen’s hesitation, Liao Xuexue, who was sitting opposite him, said to him with a beaming smile.

"Mr. Ye, please don’t be polite. Just order whatever you want, eat whatever you like, I still have plenty of pocket money this month!"

"Then I won’t be polite, right?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

"Not at all!" Liao Xuexue waved her hand generously.

Thus, Ye Chen ordered according to his normal appetite.

In the end, when Liao Xuexue saw the dishes Ye Chen ordered, she almost fainted on the spot.

In the lower right corner of the tablet, it read, total bill: 720 yuan!

Good Lord!

Are you here to be ripped off, buddy!

Although Liao Xuexue’s heart was bleeding, she didn’t say anything.

After all, Mr. Ye had just bought her clothes worth over fifty thousand, nearly sixty thousand yuan!

Seven hundred yuan for over fifty thousand, not a bad deal!

Liao Xuexue comforted herself.

Then, when the dishes were all served, Liao Xuexue turned her sorrow into appetite and started competing with Ye Chen for the meat.

"This should be cooked by now, right?" Ye Chen questioned doubtfully as he picked up a piece of marbled beef from the bubbling, buttery hotpot.

"It’s not ready, not ready, needs to cook a bit longer. If it’s half-cooked, it can easily upset the stomach!" Liao Xuexue said earnestly.

"Alright, then let’s cook it a bit longer." Ye Chen put the slice of marbled beef back into the pot.

But the next second, Liao Xuexue snatched that piece of marbled beef into her bowl with her chopsticks.

The steaming piece of marbled beef was dipped in sauce by Liao Xuexue, and then she popped it into her mouth.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Liao Xuexue showed a face of satisfaction.

True to its eighty yuan price tag, this premium marbled beef really tasted different!

I’ve got to eat more!

Ye Chen twitched the corner of his eye at the sight.

This little wench...

"Weren’t you saying it wasn’t cooked? Why are you still eating?"

"It’s okay, I just like them half-cooked like this!"

"You’re such a naughty girl, it’s obviously cooked!"

"Lalala!"

...

The two rushed through the Hedi Lao hotpot meal, getting red in the face with urgency.

Through this meal, Ye Chen also realized.

Don’t be fooled by how demure this little wench seems usually.

But when it comes to eating, she’s really damn hearty!

So much so that during this hotpot meal, Ye Chen didn’t get much meat to eat; it was all snatched away by this little wench!

"I’m full, so full!"

"Truly satisfying! Hedi Lao hotpot is indeed delicious!"

After paying, Liao Xuexue, holding the clothes she had bought earlier, stood in front of the Hedi Lao hotpot store with a satisfied expression on her face.

Ye Chen touched his stomach, which had only had a few bites of vegetables, and sighed helplessly.

Well, buddy, even though you invited me to eat.

All the meat was almost eaten by you, this little wench!

"Let’s go, let’s head back!"

After saying this, Liao Xuexue turned and gave Ye Chen a sly wink.

Ye Chen sighed and followed behind Liao Xuexue, carrying the clothes in his hand.

When the two were taking the shopping mall’s escalator down to the first floor, preparing to continue to the underground parking garage,

This little wench suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and bounced over to Ye Chen.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

Liao Xuexue’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents, and she said cheerfully, "Just wait here for me a moment, I’ll be right back!"

"Hey..."

Without waiting for Ye Chen to speak, Liao Xuexue put the shopping bags in front of Ye Chen, turned around, and ran off, disappearing around a corner.

This little wench...

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to wait for her as she had instructed.

Could it be that she got a stomach ache from the half-cooked meat she ate earlier?

That shouldn’t be the case...

That meat was clearly cooked...

Ye Chen stood in place and waited for about five or six minutes.

Soon enough, Liao Xuexue came scurrying back around the corner toward Ye Chen.

She had her hands behind her back, as if holding something.

"What did you go do?"

Ye Chen looked at Liao Xuexue, puzzled, and asked.

Liao Xuexue then asked Ye Chen to stretch out his left hand and close his eyes.

Although puzzled, Ye Chen complied.

Wondering what this little wench was up to.

Soon, Ye Chen felt a cool touch spreading from his left hand to his wrist.

"Okay, open them now!"

Liao Xuexue said.

When Ye Chen opened his eyes, he saw a new watch on his left wrist.

An electronic watch.

The brand seemed to be Kadon Europe.

The model was a classic one, probably priced around two to three thousand.

Ye Chen had previously studied watches a bit.

Seeing the watch on his wrist, Ye Chen was taken aback.

"This..."

"I just went to buy it! Consider it a gift for Teacher Ye."
