Quick Wear: Domineering System on Your Own

With Zhang Zhiyan and Fang Yi suddenly showing up, Ning Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't just go grab a street food snack like she usually did. Fortunately, she still had enough money on hand, so after some thought, she decided treating them to a stir-fry would be a good option.

Ning Xiaoxiao picked up her phone and carefully browsed through various food recommendations and reviews, carefully selecting a restaurant with a good reputation. Then, the four of them walked towards the restaurant together, ready to enjoy a delicious lunch.

When they arrived, they found the shop was incredibly busy. The shop was bustling with activity. The laughter of customers and the busy work of waiters blended together to create an atmosphere brimming with life.

The four of them finally found a private room after some effort. Ning Xiaoxiao was very polite. She smiled and handed the menu to Zhang Zhiyan and Fang Yi, saying, "Take a look at what you want to eat." Fang Yi quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not picky about food. Anything is fine with me. You guys order!"

Zhang Zhiyan took the menu without hesitation and immediately began scanning it. She seemed to have no regard for other people's feelings and started ordering directly.

After a while, she ordered almost all the signature dishes in the restaurant. Fang Yi felt a little embarrassed when he saw her doing this. He gently tugged at the corner of Zhang Zhiyan's clothes, trying to remind her to pay attention. Zhang Zhiyan looked up in confusion and said, "It's not too much! After all, Xiaoxiao has a big appetite. I'm just thinking about Xiaoxiao."

Ning Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say when she heard this. She could only force a smile and say, "It's okay, I'll take care of you if you can't finish it." However, her heart was filled with worry, and she was secretly worried about her wallet. She calculated how much this meal would cost and whether it would exceed her budget.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyan seemed to realize she'd ordered too much and stopped ordering. Ning Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief at this, a heavy weight lifted from her heart. She began to look forward to a pleasant lunch, and she also hoped her wallet would withstand the test.

"Zhang Zhiyan is a bit too tactless."

"Yanyan just wanted Ning Xiaoxiao to eat more."

"In the final analysis, it's all because Ning Xiaoxiao eats too much."

"Hasn't Mr. Zhang ever heard that the guest should follow the host's wishes?"

"Is it necessary to say this, even though we only ordered a few dishes?"

"I don't know what's going on, but I feel like Zhang Zhiyan's performance has been pretty average lately."

"I think so too. I didn't think there was anything wrong with her before, but lately I've been losing my good impression of her."

When Ning Xiaoxiao finished eating and paid the bill, she felt a pang of pain in her wallet. This meal had cost over six hundred yuan.

Fortunately, with only one day left, the money was still enough. However, her joy was a little premature. After dinner, Zhang Zhiyan used the crowds as an excuse to keep pestering Ning Xiaoxiao. Ning Xiaoxiao, embarrassed to refuse, had no choice but to let her go. Fang Yi tried to leave several times, but Zhang Zhiyan stopped him every time.

That evening, Zhang Zhiyan got another free meal as she had hoped. But this time, Ning Xiaoxiao was smart and ordered the dishes herself, at least to ensure that she would have enough money to eat the next day.

On the last day, Lingjiu wanted to go out to the movies. Lu Huai quickly bought the tickets, and the two of them headed to the theater together. They stood out so much that many people recognized them along the way. Some even shouted in their faces, "Lu Duidui, you better keep up the good work!" "I'm championing nostalgia!" Lu Huai gave the person who called out an admiring look.

Bai Xingzhu held the seventy yuan in her hand and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. How should she spend so much money? She glanced at Shen Jiqing, who was sitting at the table drinking milk, and asked, "How about we go to the mall for a big meal?"

Shen Jiqing expressed doubt about her words and said, "But we only have 70 yuan now."

Bai Xingzhu patted his chest and said confidently, "It's not a big deal, leave it to me."

Seeing her confident look, Shen Jiqing recalled that he had spent the past two days quite well and felt that his life experience had increased. In the end, he chose to believe her.

Bai Xingzhu led Shen Jiqing to the largest membership store in the area. Upon arriving at the door, the staff asked to check her membership information. She calmly presented her phone and successfully entered the store. Bai Xingzhu looked at the membership information on her phone, which didn't belong to her, and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, I hadn't returned the membership I borrowed from a friend.

Shen Jiqing seemed a bit bewildered upon entering the store. He usually shopped without checking prices, grabbing whatever he wanted. But today was different. He watched Bai Xingzhu walk toward the tastings and instantly understood what she meant by "a feast." He had never experienced anything like this before, and his eyes followed Bai Xingzhu closely as she expertly navigated the tasting booths, stopping only when her hands were full. He couldn't help but wonder about her past life.

"Hahahaha! Bai Xingzhu is really down-to-earth!"

"That cake is so delicious, I always buy it every time I go there."

"That's what they call a big meal! You can really eat a lot after going through the whole mall."

"He's really a talented person."

“It turns out celebrities also try food samples.”

Bai Xingzhu had a good harvest. She smiled at the stunned Shen Jiqing and said, "Look, there are so many varieties, and they're all delicious. I'm sure you'll be full today, and it won't cost you anything!"

Shen Jiqing didn't know why he felt a pang of heartache when he saw her smile. Her life before must have been difficult!

He took the sample from Bai Xingzhu and ate it bite by bite, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's really delicious." The cake was obviously sweet, but it tasted a bit bitter. Bai Xingzhu saw that he was eating quickly and thought he was hungry. He was about to get more, but was stopped by Shen Jiqing.

"what happened?"

Shen Jiqing threw the paper cup into the trash can, looked at her gently and said, "Let's go together!"

"Okay!"

He remembered Bai Xingzhu's smile that day—it was exceptionally bright and beautiful. He remembered that smile for a long, long time. Every night, as he tossed and turned in bed, he would think of that smile. But at the time, he didn't realize that he had already, unknowingly, gradually, been enmeshed in someone's heart.

Bai Xingzhu never revealed her past to anyone. Despite her financial hardships, she cherished every penny she earned, earning it through tireless effort. She cared little for public opinion and took no criticism from others to heart. Her only concern was remaining true to herself and striving to survive.

Once, at that company, she endured immense oppression and was bound by unjust terms and conditions. Those who tried to force her into submission, but her inherent stubbornness refused to yield. Fortunately, fate had not forgotten her, allowing her to escape the cage that had tormented her for five years. Now, she has been reborn, determined to live a more vibrant and beautiful life.
