Ignoring the female clerk at the jewelry store, the five of them went upstairs to the second floor of the mall.
The second floor was indeed filled with clothing stores, but they were all selling women's clothing.
Upon seeing this scene, the store clerks immediately associated Ningchuan, an unremarkable-looking man accompanied by four stunning beauties, with the jewelry store on the first floor.
They assumed that Ningchuan was a wealthy local, a nouveau riche, being used as a walking ATM by the four beauties.
"Ladies, please take a look at the clothes in our store!"
"We have a new dress in our store. Ladies, come and have a look!"
"Come and see the underwear in our store. We are a high-end brand that only high-end women can possess..."
The enthusiastic store clerks rushed over, hoping to lure the four girls into their respective stores.
However, Jiang Churan and the other three girls simply frowned and refused, saying, "We're here to buy men's clothing."
Amid the puzzled gazes of the store clerks, the five of them finally arrived at the fourth floor, the men's section.
Men were always the least favored group in shopping malls. Men's clothing was always placed behind women's clothing, and even children had a higher consumer index than men.
The female store clerks in the men's clothing stores on the fourth floor were also taken aback when they saw the four stunning beauties surrounding Ningchuan.
Meanwhile, Jiang Churan and the other three girls quickly began picking out clothes.
"Ningchuan, how about trying on this suit? Take off your jacket and put this one on."
Jiang Churan pulled Ningchuan into a suit store and picked out a suit to hand to him.
She was indicating that she would be responsible for washing Ningchuan's upper garments from now on.
"I think these casual pants are okay. Ningchuan, try them on and give me your dirty pants."
Mo Wanqiu also picked out a pair of casual pants for Ningchuan, indicating that she would take care of washing his pants from now on.
"These shoes and socks in this store are not bad. Ningchuan, come and try them on. If they fit well, take off your current ones and give them to me."
Xie Yanran chose shoes and socks to wash.
"Um... I have no experience with men's underwear. Ningchuan, you can pick them yourself. Once you've chosen, put on the new ones, and then give me the old ones to wash."
He Lingling was a bit slower and ended up with only the option of washing men's underwear.
The four girls pushed Ningchuan to the dressing room entrance, handed him a whole set of brand new clothes from inside to outside, and then closed the dressing room door, waiting outside.
The store clerks from several stores were curious and gathered around, discussing and speculating about the relationship between Ningchuan and the four stunning beauties.
After two minutes, Ningchuan finished changing his clothes and walked out of the dressing room.
"Wow!"
A female store clerk looked at Ningchuan in astonishment, her eyes shining.
Other female store clerks also turned their gaze towards him, their faces filled with surprise.
Jiang Churan, Mo Wanqiu, Xie Yanran, and He Lingling, along with the female store clerks present, were equally amazed as they looked at Ningchuan.
Their eyes were filled with admiration.
At this moment, Ningchuan, dressed from head to toe in new clothes, looked incredibly handsome!
Radiating with sunlight, charm, and masculinity, he exuded a sense of male magnetism.
However, he was fundamentally different from those so-called fresh-faced youngsters.
He emitted a sharp and imposing aura, the true essence of a man!
Jiang Churan and the other three girls, as well as the female store clerks present, were all stunned.
It took them a full minute or two to snap out of their daze.
"Let's pay."
Ningchuan just wanted to quickly get away from Jiang Churan and the other three girls, so he said to the store clerks.
The store clerks quickly started calculating the bill.
"I'll pay for the suits." Jiang Churan took out a bank card and handed it to the store clerk.
"I'll pay for the casual pants, scan my Alipay." Mo Wanqiu took out her phone.
"I'll cover the cost of the shoes and socks." Xie Yanran said.
"I'll handle the payment for the underwear." He Lingling blushed and spoke.
The four of them simultaneously pushed Ningchuan aside, allowing the store clerks to quickly process the payments.
The store clerks received the payments in astonishment, and Ningchuan could only shake his head and smile wryly.
Are all the girls nowadays so assertive?
After settling the bill, Jiang Churan and the other three girls separately asked the store clerks for four bags.
The bags contained the clothes, pants, shoes, socks, and underwear that Ningchuan had changed out of.
Carrying the bags, the four girls and Ningchuan left happily together.
In the shopping mall, several female store clerks suddenly realized something.
"Oh my god! This guy is living off women!"
"Living off women? He's living off four women? And they're all such stunning beauties!"
"Incredible! Truly incredible!"
"I thought he was a newly wealthy person or a second-generation rich kid, being used as a walking ATM by those four women. Who would have thought he's the king of living off women, having one meal and four meals!"
"I thought he was standing on the third floor, but little did I know he was already on the eighth floor!"
"The joke's on me!"
Ningchuan couldn't hear the discussions among the store clerks, but from that day on, a story called 'The King of Living off Women' began to circulate within the mall.
...
After leaving the mall, Jiang Churan and the other three girls had achieved their goal and completely ignored Ningchuan. They returned to school together.
"Women, even these young girls, can change their attitudes faster than flipping a book!" Ningchuan sighed.
Checking the time, it was almost noon. Ningchuan randomly found a restaurant to have a meal.
Next to the restaurant was a budget hotel.
Just as Ningchuan sat down, he noticed a few familiar figures at the entrance of the hotel.
Those figures were tall and dark-skinned, the black students from the Foreign Language Department he encountered while playing basketball before.
They were accompanied by several female students from the Foreign Language Department.
Among them, one girl's figure and face surpassed the others.
She was not inferior to Jiang Churan and the other three girls in any way and even excelled in certain aspects, such as her body's curves.
Ningchuan had a faint impression of this girl. He recalled hearing Wang Xianmin mention her before.
She was a beauty in the Foreign Language Department named Ouyang Xue.
"Johnson, weren't we supposed to come to the street to practice spoken English? Why did you bring us here?" Ouyang Xue frowned, looking puzzled.
"Of course, we're here to learn English. I think learning English in the hotel room will be undisturbed!" Johnson, the black student, said in semi-fluent Chinese.
From his pitch-black face, it was apparent that he harbored ill intentions.
"Why do we need to book a hotel room to learn English? No, I'm not going." Ouyang Xue furrowed her brows and shook her head.
The other female students also shook their heads one after another.
The black students immediately surrounded Ouyang Xue and the others, forcefully trying to drag them into the hotel.
"Hehe, you Chinese women don't need to pretend. Everyone knows that learning English happens in bed, right?"
"Let's go, let's have a good exchange of English on the bed!"
"Since you came out with us, you must have been mentally prepared, right? In your own words, don't act like a saint while being a whore."
