Chapter 218 - Awkward

Qin Shu tilted her head and glanced at Jun Li. She saw that his purple eyes were still filled with anticipation and a hint of fatigue. His overly pale face seemed to have lost its color.

This made her feel pity for him.

She reached into the pocket of her shirt, took out the hard candy, and handed it to him.

"It's green apple flavored."

Jun Li's purple eyes flashed with excitement. He reached out his well-defined fingers and picked up the candy from her palm. He was about to open the wrapper and place the candy in his mouth when someone said,

"Young master, it's time."

He was interrupted by a calm male voice.

Qin Shu turned her head when she heard the voice and saw a man in a black suit standing behind Jun Li. His eyes were calm and reserved.

Jun Li stopped what he was doing and held the candy in his hand. He looked up at Qin Shu with a gentle gaze. "Thank you for the candy. When you come to Imperial College and need any help, you can look for me."

Jun Li stood up and left.

The man in the black suit glanced at Qin Shu before following Jun Li.

Qin Shu turned around to look at Jun Li's departing figure. When she retracted her gaze, she saw that Ye Xue was walking toward her. Qin Shu felt that the conversation with Jun Li was just a small interlude.

Ye Xue's face was very red as if she had just confessed.

When Ye Xue got closer, Qin Shu asked, "What did you talk about?"

Ye Xue shook his head: "Nothing much. Let's go back to the classroom."

Qin Shu glanced at Ye Xue in confusion. When she saw how Ye Xue did not want to say much about it, she dropped the topic, stood up, and went back to the classroom.

After school

Qin Ya did not rush home but went to the mall with Mo Feifei. They were going to buy some new summer clothes.

The two of them came from a similar background. On the surface, they seemed to be on good terms with each other. In reality, when they were shopping, they were motivated by vanity. They never bought clothes or cosmetics that were cheaper than the other party.

They were both very famous at Lin Xi. The boys flattered them. The two of them did not want to be inferior to the other party in any aspect.

Some time ago, because of the posts in the school forum, Qin Ya became the talk of the town.

Mo Feifei was the happiest person when that happened. Because during that time, Mo Feifei was surrounded by boys while Qin Ya was all alone.

The two of them walked into a designer clothing store. The store had the latest summer clothes hanging on the wall, and every one of them looked particularly good.

Mo Feifei glanced at the summer clothes on the clothes rack and said, "Qin Ya, let's purchase more than usual today. The summer clothes are all very pretty."

Qin Ya sneered in her heart. "Sure, it's no problem to buy a few more pieces than usual. I still have quite a lot of pocket money in my card."

"Then let's begin."

The two of them began to pick out clothes to try on. They were inside the store for more than an hour. During that time, they tried on too many clothes to count.

Then, the two of them took the fruits of their battle to the register.

"I'll go first."

Qin Ya took the lead and walked to the register. She put the clothes she had chosen on the counter and waited for the final bill.

After the cashier finished scanning the clothes, she said, "There are a total of five sets of clothes. The total is $69,986."

"Card."

Qin Ya took out the card from her bag and handed it to the cashier.

When the cashier swiped the card, a warning sound came out of the card machine.

The cashier maintained her professional smile. "I'm sorry. This card does not work. Do you have another card?"

Qin Ya was at first shocked, then she said, "How can it not work? I used it yesterday and it was fine. You must have made a mistake."

The cashier tried the card again. "Your account is frozen. This card does not work."

Qin Ya was shocked and couldn't react for a moment.

Mo Feifei walked over. When she looked at Qin Ya, the corner of her mouth curled into a mocking smile.. "Qin Ya, use another card. You should have more than one card, right?"
