Sun Yi heard the movement behind her and knew Ye Chen had returned.
She turned around and spun in place, batting her eyes, and asked, "Give me your opinion, do I look beautiful dressed like this?"
"Beautiful..."
Hearing this answer, Sun Yi seemed to be in a great mood, humming a tune as she continued with her makeup.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
Ye Chen asked, not wanting Sun Yi to attend any banquets or events dressed like that; it would give too many lechers an advantage!
Although he had no particular relationship with Sun Yi, after spending a few days together, he had come to consider her his closest person in Jiangcheng.
Sun Yi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, turned, and smiled, "A woman puts on makeup, of course, to go shopping..."
"Who are you shopping with?" Ye Chen asked instinctively.
Sun Yi gave Ye Chen a look and explained, "Of course, it's with you. Who else would it be? It's Saturday today, and I finally have a day off. It's the perfect time to take you shopping. You should see what you're wearing—it's a mess. Also, I'll buy you a phone. I don't want to be unable to reach you at crucial moments."
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart; in this city that was both familiar and strange, only Sun Yi cared for him.
Then, he looked at his own attire, feeling quite satisfied: "But I don't like shopping."
"No way, you have to go!" Sun Yi immediately dismissed Ye Chen's thoughts and added, "Actually, I'm just curious about what you would look like if you dressed up a bit? Maybe it could make this lady's heart flutter～"
Ye Chen glanced at the sexy Sun Yi, thought of something, and said, "It's not impossible for me to go, but you change your clothes."
"Deal."
...
An hour later, Sun Yi, dressed in a sports outfit, and Ye Chen walked out of Dadu Apartment.
Sun Yi was completely convinced; there were hardly any girls who went shopping in sportswear. If it weren't for Ye Chen's strong insistence, she would never have worn this outfit in her life.
Fortunately, Sun Yi's figure was too impressive, and even sportswear couldn't conceal her radiance.
Along the way, she did attract many men to look back at her.
Jiangcheng Wanda Plaza.
Sun Yi first took Ye Chen to get a haircut. A clean buzz cut made Ye Chen look more spirited.
Plus his flying, heroic eyebrows, slender yet sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pressed lips, well-defined contours, tall and slender but not rugged figure, he was like an eagle in the night, aloof and lonely yet full of vigor, standing alone and exuding a domineering presence that looked down upon the world.
"I must say, with your hair cut, you look like a completely different person. If you walk around the university now, I'm sure many girls will swarm around you," Sun Yi remarked with some emotion.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she poked Ye Chen's chest and gossiped, "Honestly tell me, do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce one for you? Huamei Group is not short of single beauties, you know~"
Ye Chen shook his head.
These five years, he had been wandering between life and death, and he had been madly cultivating, only thinking about coming back for revenge. He had no time to deal with romantic affairs.
Seeing Ye Chen shake his head, Sun Yi asked out of curiosity, "Ye Chen, you're not a pure young virgin, are you? Haven't you ever been in love?"
Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly thought of a past memory.
Five years ago, when the Ye family was still around, he had a crush on a girl.
That girl, named Chu Shuran, was the school beauty at the time, with countless people harboring secret affections for her.
Although he was born into a prominent family, he was as humble as an ordinary person and dared not confess.
It wasn't until one day when he mustered the courage to secretly slip a love letter to Chu Shuran. He thought the letter would sink into oblivion, but unexpectedly, Chu Shuran actually asked him to meet her at the back of the school that day.
Chu Shuran told Ye Chen that if he could take the microphone from the school leaders the next morning and confess to her in front of everyone, she would be willing to be in a relationship with him.
At that time, Ye Chen, naive and inexperienced, did such a thing for the ridiculous notion of love.
He didn't care about the faces of others mocking him, hoping only that Chu Shuran would keep her promise.
However, he didn't expect that Chu Shuran would reject him in front of everyone and said a sentence while pointing at Ye Chen's nose.
"You, a good-for-nothing, also have the qualifications to pursue me, Chu Shuran! A toad wants to eat swan meat! Don't think that just because you stand behind the Ye family, you are something special. In the eyes of my Chu family, you and your parents are nothing!"
From that day on, Ye Chen began to fall into despair, and his title as a good-for-nothing spread far and wide.
Even on that day, he overheard in the restroom that all of this was just a bet between Chu Shuran and other young masters of Jiangcheng.
They bet on how trash the Ye family's good-for-nothing really was!
And he proved how trash he was.
Until now, he still clearly remembered everyone pointing at him, their mocking faces.
Ye Chen snapped out of his memories, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He might have been a real good-for-nothing five years ago.
But now, what does Chu Shuran matter?
What does the Chu family, the head of the four major families in Jiangcheng, matter?
One day, he will stand at the peak of this world and tell everyone that he, Ye Chen, has been here.
At that time, everything in Jiangcheng will be nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in his eyes!
Sun Yi, seeing Ye Chen's face flicker with different emotions, thought she had touched his pride and quickly apologized, "Um... I shouldn't have said that about you. It's not a big deal if you're a virgin, I'm still a virgin too... Does that make us even?"
Ye Chen looked at Sun Yi's nervous expression and couldn't help but find it somewhat cute, jokingly saying, "Since that's the case, we don't have anything to do tonight anyway, how about... we give each other our first times... That would make us even, right?"
Sun Yi didn't expect Ye Chen to be so bold, her face flushed red to her ears, and she even noticed a few people deliberately turning to look at them. She glared at Ye Chen fiercely, "You talk too much. If you want my first time, you'll have to pluck a star from the sky for me!"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "You won't go back on your word?"
He knew that the supreme realm of cultivation could completely break through the void and control the sun and the moon.
What's so difficult about plucking a star!
Naturally, Sun Yi didn't believe Ye Chen could do it, nodding her head vigorously:
"Alright, alright, I, Sun Yi, am a woman of my word. Okay, stop talking nonsense. Now, let's go pick out some clothes for you. You should see how tattered your clothes are! You wear them all the time! This is a big city, by the way, don't you have some prescriptions or something? You could sell a few, and you might be able to buy this whole Wanda place."
Although she said that, Ye Chen wouldn't do it.
He did have countless prescriptions, but if he casually handed them over to others, it would inevitably attract the covetousness of some forces and might even disrupt the balance of the Chinese circle.
Only when he controlled his own power could he bring out the prescriptions; otherwise, it would only bring disaster upon himself!
As for the low-level face-preserving pill prescription, it's not a precious thing; it only has some miraculous effects on beauty companies.
