With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

What was originally a perfectly normal sentence caused her to explode with anger on the spot.

Her eyebrows shot up, and she glared at Shen Ci, loudly demanding, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying I'm talking nonsense? Have you never seen shoes that cost two yuan a pair before?"

As she spoke, she gave Shen Ci and Shen Li a disapproving once-over. Their youthful and beautiful appearances fueled her jealousy, and she let out a disdainful snort: "I bet you two are still college students, right? Call your parents and pay them back, or I'll call the police."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. The woman's face darkened upon seeing this: "What are you laughing at?"

"Are you deaf?" Shen Ci's patience ran out. Originally, she thought that her sister was in the wrong and that she could just politely negotiate compensation with the other party. She didn't expect that this woman's thought process was so strange that she couldn't understand human language at all.

So Shen Ci's tone turned cold: "Don't even mention shoes that cost two yuan a pair, I can afford to pay twenty or two hundred yuan, but I need to see the order price or the official website price. My request is very reasonable, so what are you barking about?"

Who are you calling a barking dog?

The woman's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had been deeply humiliated. She was about to raise her hand to beckon Shen Ci when the man behind her reacted quickly and grabbed her.

"Oh dear, it's no big deal. They already said they'd compensate us."

"Are you even useful? They're insulting me right in front of my face, and instead of helping me, you're blocking my way!" The woman struggled and pounded on the man's chest, her shrill voice hurting everyone's eardrums.

The other customers at the surrounding tables all looked over with displeasure before the waiter and manager finally arrived.

Just then, two boys in a corner of the restaurant recognized Shen Ci.

"Qu Yang, isn't that Shen Ci?"

The boy named Qu Yang had noticed it all along, but he hadn't said anything, focusing intently on cutting the steak in front of him.

"Hey, you weren't at school yesterday, so you don't know, but Shen Ci returned all the things Li Xiao gave her to Li Xiao. They probably broke up."

Upon hearing this, Qu Yang paused in his steak-cutting motion, looked up at Shao Yu across from him, and asked, "You broke up?"

“Yes, that’s what everyone’s saying.” Shao Yu kept an eye on Shen Ci’s situation, but he didn’t forget to say to Qu Yang, “It’s strange, the day before yesterday Li Xiao was showing off his love in the dormitory, and the next day the two broke up. I don’t know what happened.”

Qu Yang then raised his head and looked at the girl's face under the dim light.

Her skin was porcelain white and translucent, and the warm light gave her features a halo, making her look even softer.

His mind flashed back to that sweltering summer when he first entered university. He was sweating profusely on the basketball court when he looked up and saw a girl sitting on the stone steps, lost in thought with a serene expression. The afternoon sunlight shone brightly on her face.

He was completely distracted during the game that afternoon.

The second time I saw her was on the school forum. Someone took a picture of her, which caused quite a stir on the forum.

Later, she became the girlfriend of her roommate, Li Xiao.

"It seems like she's run into a difficult person. Should we help her?" Shao Yu suddenly asked.

Qu Yang put down his knife and fork and was about to get up when he saw Shen Ci suddenly smile.

Shen Ci held up the results on her phone and said to the unreasonable woman, "So it's a model from two years ago. No wonder I couldn't find the information on the official website."

The other party, looking both ashamed and indignant, retorted, "So what? Wasn't the price 1.9888? Didn't you say you could afford to pay? Hurry up and pay!"

"You said it was the first time you wore this two-year-old style. I won't question the truth of that statement for now, and I'm too lazy to argue about the depreciation fee. Just show me your payment code."

Shen Ci's words seemed harmless, yet they all struck at the woman's pride. In particular, her nonchalant and indifferent demeanor made the other woman appear to be an unreasonable shrew.

The woman was about to start cursing, but the man felt uncomfortable and embarrassed under the stares of the restaurant customers. He quickly showed his payment QR code and said, "Transfer it to me."

Shen Ci had no objection and transferred 1.9888 yuan directly.

Seeing that the transfer was successful, the man grabbed the woman and left without saying a word, without even eating.

Shen Ci's expression returned to normal, thinking to himself that he hadn't checked the almanac before going out today, and had instead encountered a series of oddballs.

The restaurant manager also made sure to soothe Shen Ci's emotions and even gave them a salmon salad.

"It's alright, let's continue eating." Shen Ci smiled at her sister, telling her not to be affected.

It was just a minor incident.

Shen Li had never experienced anything like this before, and was still a little shaken, but her sister's calmness reassured her a lot. She nodded and continued eating in silence.

As if sensing the gaze of others, Shen Ci instinctively turned her head to look inside, only to meet Qu Yang's gaze, which he had not yet been able to withdraw.

Shen Ci was slightly taken aback. Qu Yang?

She didn't know him personally, but she knew who he was.

Not only because Qu Yang is Li Xiao's roommate, but also because he is the vice president of the school basketball club and a prominent figure at school.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wheatish complexion, and a height of about 1.85 meters, he is the type that many girls like.

Even Wang Hou, a hardcore otaku who only likes to watch BL dramas in her dorm every day, would often go to the court to watch him play.

Shen Ci guessed that the other person had recognized her and that's why they were looking over. She didn't think much of it, simply looked away naturally, and continued talking to her sister with a smile.

"Did you hear that clearly? Shen Ci seemed to have given that woman two yuan!" Shao Yu whispered, "Isn't her family's financial situation quite ordinary?"

As he spoke, Shao Yu's eyes widened as he looked at Qu Yang as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, and he said, "She broke up with Li Xiao, could it be because she hooked up with an even richer tycoon?"

Qu Yang's face darkened, and he raised his head impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense without any evidence. Are you going to eat or not? If not, let's leave."

"Eat, eat, eat." Shao Yu quickly shrank his neck and chuckled, "It's rare to be able to eat at such a good restaurant, it's all thanks to you. If you keep hanging around behind me during my live stream tonight, you'll definitely receive another carnival."

After dinner, Shen Ci took Shen Li back to school and watched her carry a bunch of things into the dormitory building before turning around and leaving.

After returning to the hotel, she took a bath first, and then curled up on the sofa and started scrolling through Douyin videos out of boredom.

After scrolling through the page a few times, I came across a live stream from Li Xiao's roommate in the dorm.

Shao Yu sat in front of the camera, while Qu Yang sat behind and next to him. The live stream chat was full of people coming to see the handsome guy, and gifts were flying everywhere. Shao Yu was so happy that his mouth stretched to his ears.

Qu Yang sat there blankly, like an emotionless model.

Shen Ci found it a bit funny and casually deposited ten yuan into the live stream, sending 20 Carnival gifts in the live stream.
