Ji Tian contentedly received one hundred yuan and asked Uncle Zhou to head to a more ordinary mall.
The T-shirts there were having a clearance sale, with the cheapest ones going for ten yuan each.
Of course, Ji Tian wouldn't buy something so cheap, nor would she buy something too expensive, something moderate was just right.
The book mentioned very little about Qin Jiangsheng's youth, mostly because he had suffered inhumane treatment, it mostly wrote about how cold-blooded and ruthless he became later on, extremely bloodthirsty, almost single-handedly destroying the Bai Family, a truly tragic yet powerful figure.
Buying something too expensive would make him feel like Ji Tian was offering him charity.
Ji Tian considered every aspect, almost analyzing Qin Jiangsheng down to his underpants, and eventually bought an eighty yuan pure cotton white T-shirt, definitely better quality than his.
With the remaining money, she smelled the scent of deep-fried skewers outside the mall, it had been a long time since she last ate that stuff.
Before crossing into the book, she was an orphan, grew up in an orphanage, always busy with how to study, how to get scholarships, how to make her life sufficiently well-off, she was like a spinning top, endlessly busy, and fate was not kind to her.
After crossing into the book, Ji Tian in the book was a young lady, so she would never touch such junk food, but in her eyes, it was delicious.
She swallowed, hesitating for even a second felt disrespectful to the deep-fried skewers.
She spent her last twenty yuan and bought ten skewers.
Uncle Zhou was almost shocked speechless, "Miss, the young master forbids you from eating these, he'll scold you if he finds out."
Ji Tian, with her mouth full of oil, finally burped, "Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, we just won't tell him." After saying that, she squinted her eyes, "Uncle Zhou, you wouldn't betray me, right?"
Uncle Zhou: "..."
What could he do?
Taking Ji Tian to this place was already inappropriate, if it became known that he didn't stop her from eating these oily foods, he thought having his salary docked would be the least of his concerns, he feared direct dismissal.
His heart was crying, but what's done was done, he could only help cover it up.
"Miss, I am forever sincere to you."
Alright, with those words, Ji Tian began to let herself go.
She used the remaining twenty yuan in her WeChat to buy a ten yuan bubble tea, enjoying it so much that her eyes squinted in pleasure.
How could anyone resist the temptation of deep-fried skewers and bubble tea?
After eating her fill, Ji Tian went home.
Ji Weinan had been waiting for her for quite a while and immediately showed his displeasure when he saw her, "Where have you been?"
Ji Tian looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"I should be asking you what's wrong! Why are you getting so close to Qin Jiangsheng? Brother Yu wasn't pleased when he saw you together," Ji Weinan complained.
Ji Tian couldn't help but roll her eyes; Ji Weinan was truly naive. Currently he thought Bai Tingyu was all-powerful, obediently following his commands, yet he himself also had the status of Ji Family's third young master, certainly no less than Bai Tingyu.
Currently, Bai Tingyu hadn't yet reached the stage where he dominated the Four Major Tycoons, one couldn't help but wonder if Ji Weinan would still tail him if he knew Ji Family was ruined by Bai Tingyu's hands.
She gave him an odd look, "What? You want to manage who I befriend too?"
Ji Weinan choked, his eyes widening; suddenly, he thought a quieter and more reserved sister was better… This sudden assertiveness was something he was unaccustomed to.
"My point is, don't get too close to Qin Jiangsheng, he's the Bai Family's illegitimate son, with Brother Yu around, what do you think his end will be? Don't get the Ji Family involved too."
Ji Tian rubbed her chin, seriously saying, "I don't know if Qin Jiangsheng's end will be miserable, but I know your Brother Yu will have quite a tragic future."
Ji Weinan: "..."
"Anyway, you are not allowed to interact with Qin Jiangsheng."
Ji Tian couldn't be bothered with this naive guy, sold by others yet helping them count the money.
"I'll warn you too, stay away from Bai Tingyu and Shen Zhiyi, lest you end up bringing two sets of breakfast to people later on."
Ji Weinan: "???"
What is this supposed to mean?
Don't they have their own homes? And yet they want him to bring breakfast.
Unable to grasp Ji Tian's intention, Ji Weinan immediately got angry, "Ji Tian, are you teaching me how to handle things? I won't allow you to speak about Brother Yu like that!"
Ji Tian took a few steps and finally stopped, sighed, and accepted that it was difficult to persuade Ji Weinan back; he was now Bai Tingyu's most loyal follower, and a few words couldn't change his relationship with Bai Tingyu. Ji Tian couldn't tell him that in a book, they were all characters who met tragic fates.
She might be taken as possessed by a ghost.
She turned around, and Ji Weinan bristled with anger, resembling a husky more than ever. Crossing her arms, she asked, "Is Bai Tingyu the emperor? Do you have to kneel and bow, following behind him and making pilgrimages to his house every morning?"
Ji Weinan, "...Isn't that what friends do? Ji Tian, you wouldn't understand because you don't have friends!"
"Fine, let's change the topic. You're so supportive of him, he must have some extraordinary qualities. Does he fart rainbows or wave his hand to produce flowers?"
Ji Weinan, "...?"
Ji Tian raised her head and asked, "Can he?"
Ji Weinan, "...No."
Even though he had no idea what rainbow farts or waving flowers meant, he knew from the names they sounded crude.
Ji Tian snorted haughtily, her eyes shifting before she said with a smile, "That's it? Brother, can you wave flowers?"
Ji Weinan had grown numb, "No…"
"Bet me one hundred yuan, and I'll teach you."
"Who would want to learn that!"
Ten minutes later.
Ji Tian earnestly taught, "First like this, then like that, and then this way. Have you learned it or ruined it?"
Ji Weinan, "..."
Watching Ji Tian's hands move eloquently, he said in despair, "What use is this?"
Ji Tian, pleased as she watched the one hundred yuan come in, responded nonchalantly without looking up, "If you shake fast enough, you can rise to the sky."
Ji Weinan looked down at his hands and then at the ceiling, questioning if shaking could really make him ascend.
No dog would fall for such a clumsy trick.
Ultimately, he tried waving his hands and gradually found the rhythm, joyfully waving downstairs.
[Host, you're too wicked.]
King of Competition commented as he witnessed the whole scene.
Ji Tian looked innocent on the outside but was probably a Black Heart Lotus inside.
She tricked Ji Weinan out of one hundred yuan without any guilt!
Ji Tian hummed, "I'm educating him in another way. When he encounters this trick again, he won't be deceived. When the male and female leads manipulate him in the future, he should outgrow his current naivety."
King of Competition: [You cannot change the plot.]
"Which eye of yours saw me changing the plot? I'm just helping him grow up. He's been too gullible all the time. Isn't that allowed?"
King of Competition pondered for a moment and felt Ji Tian's words were reasonable; hence, he compromised: [Alright.]
"By the way, since the plot in this book is ridiculous, can the male lead perform a hundred Thomas Flares?"
King of Competition heard her and seriously considered for a few seconds, flipped through the original book, [No, but he can spin 360 degrees in the air.]
Ji Tian, "???"
This is absurdity opening the door for more absurdity, utterly ridiculous.
