After unpacking his things, Han Haoran clapped his hands, smiled, and said, "Let's go and have lunch!"
"Aren't you going to buy some daily necessities first? "Arthur asked.
"I am not in a hurry. The school supermarket is not far from the dormitory. I can go buy those any time!"
"Then, let's go and eat!"
As soon as the two walked out of the school, Han Haoran asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
Arthur said, "Let's go to the Golden Eagle Shopping Center. I'll just buy some clothes there after we eat."
"Hey! Are you determined to squeeze me dry?" Han Haoran said in a complaining tone.
Golden Eagle Shopping Center is a high-end mall in Xianlin University Town. The shops in that mall are all international brands and the prices of the restaurants aren't cheap.
The two took a taxi and arrived there in just a few minutes.
When the couple walked into the seafood restaurant, Arthur didn't order much food, just a seafood platter that costs more than 200 yuan.
Han Haoran patted his chest and said in a relieved tone: "I was scared to death. I thought you wanted lobster and abalone!"
"That sounds good. I'll ask the waiter to add an Australian lobster!" Arthur joked.
Hearing Arthur's joke, Han Haoran gave him an angry look.
Arthur smiled and said, "How about it? I'm still here. Don't worry. I will buy you a pair of gloves. Then, you won't hurt your hands when you wash the dishes."
Han Haoran stopped talking. He was afraid that he would kill this bastard if he continued.
The seafood shop is very efficient because not for long, the waiter brought the seafood platter.
Arthur tasted a few bites but felt a little disappointed.
The taste is ordinary. The key is that the seafood is not fresh.
Eating seafood means eating fresh.
Arthur can distinguish the taste of frozen seafood vividly.
After lunch, Arthur asked, "Are you going back to school or walk around with me?"
"It's all here. Let's take a stroll!"
Today, he is particularly free, so Haoran decided to accompany Arthur around.
…
Han Haoran then found something very wrong about the way Arthur experiencing shopping.
Very wrong!
Arthur shopped very quickly. He walked into the store and glanced around. He didn't even ask about the price when he came across the clothes he liked, after trying it out, he immediately swiped his card to pay. If he didn't find anything suitable, he turned around and left.
Before Han Haoran could even thing, Arthur had already bought three sets of clothes.
'Is this called shopping???'
"The bitter taste of capitalism!" Han Haoran sighed, feeling his understanding of Arthur once again refreshed.
Seeing his reaction, Arthur bought two cups of milk team and after handing him one, he said, "I still have to buy two pairs of shoes and a shoulder bag. You help pick one, alright?"
"You can count on me!"
After strolling around several stores, the duo arrived at a Prada store.
Half an hour later, Arthur swiped his card to pay for a shoulder bag.
Until four o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur finally bought everything he has to buy.
And under Haoran's urging, he bought another set of summer clothes and a pair of AJ sneakers.
All the boys seem to have huge obsession with Air Jordan sneakers. What's more, Han Haoran is definitely a basketball boy!
"Arthur! What else do you need to buy?" Han Haoran asked looking all excited. There was a sense of eagerness in his eyes.
This afternoon, he got quite addicted. Even though he was not a vanity person, the experience of no restraints in spending money was a huge impact for him.
Childish as it might be, Haoran must say it was really cool!
Han Haoran glanced at Arthur, seriously considering his 'boytoy' proposal for a second…
Seeing the contemplating expression on Haoran's face, Arthur carried the bags and said weakly, "I think the most pressing thing to do right now is to find a place to rest."
Truth must be told, walking around for such a long time while holding these loads of newly-bought really exhaust him quite a bit.
"Why are you such a weak man? I am not even tired." Han Haoran said contemptuously.
Arthur was about to complain when he suddenly saw a Cartier store in front of him.
He then said, "Then let's go to that store in front for a stroll!"
Han Haoran's eyes lit up and said excitedly: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Walking into the Cartier store, a shopping guide greeted them warmly.
Needless to say that Arthur was holding branded paper bags in his hand, the Vacheron Constantin alone is enough to catch the female shopping guide's attention.
Being faced with a customer with a high-paying capacity, the shopping guide immediately became attentive.
The female shopping guide smiled and said, "We have a new batch of coffee in our store, would you like to taste it?"
Arthur only intended to come and sit, and rest for a while in the waiting area, but he didn't expect the female shopping guide to be so caring.
For a while, he had some good feelings on the Cartier store.
Arthur gratefully glanced at the female shopping guide and then said to Han Haoran, "Let's have a cup of coffee first."
"All right!"
Han Haoran had no idea and just thought that the service of this store was surprisingly good.
"Coffee for the two of us please!"
They followed the shopping guide into the rest area. Arthur sat down on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
Han Haoran asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"A pen!"
Arthur actually doesn't want to buy anything but now that he is there, he decided to buy something!
Just recently, he practiced hard pen calligraphy and he did very well as the days passed by. He wanted to practice some more and it is very practical to buy a good pen.
In addition, the road to LV4 of the system is only 10,000 experience away.
He shall strive one-time big time and completely rise to LV4.
Han Haoran was taken aback and wondered: "Cartier sells pens?"
Arthur pointed to the showcase in front of them and said, "There, take a look. They showcase some small objects over there."
Han Haoran didn't believe it and came to the booths to take a look.
In the showcase booths were all kinds of small things like keychains, money clips, tie pins…
Glancing at their prices, an Haoran to the rest area.
'Excuse me, goodbye!'
The cheapest button is worth more than two thousand yuan, and the most expensive one is worth 55,000 yuan.
As for the money clips and tie pins, none of them are lower than 5,000.
In the shops like Prada and Versace earlier, Han Haoran also found the products very expensive. But it was still acceptable. After all, a piece of clothing is already worth tens of thousands because of its quality.
But for such small items, the big man Haoran couldn't understand why they were so expensive.
He returned to the rest area and sat down on the sofa. Han Haoran sighed and said, "I'm so frustrated. I can't even afford even a button for my monthly living expenses.
"Don't be discouraged! Jinling University is a 985 college anyway. When you graduate and work, that's when you will find out that you can't really afford it."
Han Haoran originally thought that Arthur would comfort him, so he was a little moved. But it turned out that it was a poisonous bowl of chicken soup in the end. (T/N: "chicken soup" means some encouragement, typically by citing some inspirational words)
After staring hard at him, Han Haoran said with emotion, "Now I know why many young men are selling themselves for money. I saw in the news that some well-known male university students are being fostered by some old women. I didn't understand before why those dudes were willing to sell themselves."
"Now I understand why. It's really hard to resist the temptation!" Haoran sighed pretentiously.
It's not wise for Arthur to reply to Haoran's words since if he did, Han Haoran would definitely have more to say.
"Why are you not speaking? Are you guilty?" Haoran asked excitedly, looking at Arthur as if accusing the representative of evil capitalist.
'What am I supposed to say…'
Arthur was speechless as he already chose to be silent, yet Han Haoran still came back to him.
"Why should I be guilty?"
Haoran snorted coldly and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Boys at this age could hardly control their lower body!"
"Sorry for the wait!"
At this moment, the female shopping guide arrived with two cups of steaming coffee.
"Thank you!"
Arthur expressed his thanks and took the coffee and sipped it to conceal his guilty conscience.
To be honest, the reason why he applied for JinCai was that JinCai's students comprised mostly girls.
And there's the iron law that: Boys may be rare at girl-dominant schools, but they are gay and superb!
The choice of applying school is set before his first love came round, so it's not his fault!!!
After a while, the female shopping guide asked, "What specifically are you looking for?"
Putting down the coffee, Arthur said, "I would like to buy a pen!"
"Okay, please, sir!"
The female shopping guide was not disappointed. As employees of top luxury stores, they have a long-term vision and that is not to make a one-time deal but establish a continuing relationship.
They always choose to establish a good relationship with customers and keep them feel comfortable at all times.
Even if Arthur didn't buy anything, she would still be very enthusiastic.
This is one of the gaps between top luxury brands and other small-time brands.
Of course, that applies to everyone, not only to Arthur.
There are many types of Cartier fountain pens. Arthur finally chose a gold-plated fountain pen which costs 18,600!
He swiped his card to pay!
After buying the pen, Arthur glanced at the time and said, "It's late, let's have dinner together!"
Han Haoran shook his head and refused.
"No, I have to go back to school."
After all, if he went to a dinner with Arthur, chances are that Arthur would choose a luxurious restaurant and paid wholly for the meal. If it were another bro of his, Haoran would definitely not be embarrassed.
But in the case of Arthur, instinctively, a tiny bit in him wanted to maintain some macho majesty of a man. Accompanying Arthur to go shopping in the afternoon as a kind of help among friends or acquaintances.
But if he eats dinner with him and stayed with him until night, he could not say things explicitly but he felt it would make him a little confused.
Arthur didn't force him either, "Okay, then you go back and pay attention to your safety."
After Han Haoran left, Arthur randomly found a hotel near the Golden Eagle Shopping center where he plans to stay the night.
What sets star-rated hotels from other express hotels is that they are much better in terms of security.
When he came to the hotel room, Arthur closed the door and casually ordered a takeaway online, and then opened the system interface.
