"Don't worry, I'll definitely repay you, tenfold."
"No need for tenfold. Just repay me the amount you borrowed."
Ye Chen knew that although Li Zhiyu seemed capricious, she was genuinely a good girl. If she had just asked the girl who took her bag to pay her back, she wouldn't have needed to borrow money from him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Ye Chen watched as Li Zhiyu entered the basement, then shook his head and followed her in.
Back in the dormitory, Captain Li Gang asked, "Ye Chen, what did Miss Li want from you?"
"Nothing much, just needed a small favor."
"She didn't ask to borrow money, did she?" Fuzhu interjected.
Ye Chen glanced at him. This guy was spot on, but Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, she wanted me to help sell her bag."
"Oh, I see!" Captain Li Gang nodded.
As security guards in a luxury mall, they were all familiar with Li Zhiyu's bag. It was worth a fortune.
"Alright then, I'll ask around and see if any counters will take it." Captain Li Gang was always helpful.
"No need, Captain. Think about it—who comes here? Nobody's going to want a second-hand bag, so I'll try selling it online."
Captain Li Gang nodded. "You're right. Ye Chen, you must help her with this."
"I will."
They all went to eat. In the cafeteria, they ran into Li Zhiyu again, who was with a few girls from the dormitory.
Seeing Ye Chen, she ran over.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Ye Chen asked her.
"Are you going to work right after eating?" Li Zhiyu asked.
"No, I start at ten."
"Can you come with me to buy some things then?"
Seeing Ye Chen hesitate, Captain Li Gang nudged him and said to Li Zhiyu, "Sure, he can go with you."
"Okay, thank you." Li Zhiyu said, "I'll eat first, then find you."
After eating, just as they returned to the dormitory, Li Zhiyu came over. She wasn't shy at all.
"Ye Chen, let's go," Captain Li Gang urged him.
"Alright."
Li Zhiyu was unfamiliar with the area, indicating she hadn't been here much, if ever. This was why she wanted Ye Chen to accompany her.
Ye Chen hadn't been here long either, but as a security guard, he needed to know the surroundings well. He had scouted the area soon after arriving.
About two hundred meters north, across the street, was a Carrefour supermarket, which stayed open late, so he took Li Zhiyu there.
"Why are there so many people?" Li Zhiyu asked upon seeing the crowded supermarket.
"You don't go to supermarkets often, do you?"
Ye Chen was being polite. She probably never went to supermarkets. As a privileged young lady, shopping for essentials was never her task.
Hearing Ye Chen's question, Li Zhiyu blushed and said nothing.
"What do you need to buy?"
"Toiletries and bathing products."
"Okay, let's go."
Ye Chen grabbed a shopping cart and led Li Zhiyu to the personal care section.
Seeing the items in the personal care section, Li Zhiyu frowned. Ye Chen noticed and said, "Miss, this isn't the time to be picky."
Honestly, seeing her like this, Ye Chen wanted to say: if you're going to be picky, just go home. But he couldn't say that. As Captain Li Gang had said, they needed to be considerate and kind to girls.
"I've never used these before. I don't know how good they are."
Ye Chen shook his head, grabbed some body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, and a toothbrush, and put them in the cart, not giving Li Zhiyu a chance to choose.
After getting those, they bought a plastic basin and towels. He then returned to the personal care section and grabbed a bottle of Dabao and a bottle of Yumeijing.
Then he took Li Zhiyu to the underwear section. "You pick this yourself."
Ye Chen's assertiveness left Li Zhiyu stunned and a bit at a loss. This was too overbearing! Whose shopping trip was this? She didn't even have the right to choose her own items.
"Okay," Li Zhiyu, blushing, glanced at Ye Chen and went in.
This time she didn't complain about unfamiliar products, fearing Ye Chen would just grab anything like before.
After buying those, Ye Chen led her to the clothing section. While the supermarket didn't have fancy clothes, it had decent quality items like sportswear. He picked a few pieces and, after checking the fit on Li Zhiyu, threw two sets into the cart.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyu finally understood. "You're not making me wear these, are you?"
"What else would you wear? You're not going out, so why wear a dress in the dorm all day?"
"Uh, okay."
"Anything else you need?"
Li Zhiyu quickly shook her head. "No, that's all."
"Alright."
Then Ye Chen took her to the snack section. Not being a fan of snacks, he just grabbed a few and put them in the cart.
