Chapter 23: Pretty face and hotness
"Didn't I ask you to go back first?"
As soon as he got in the car, he heard this sentence.
Lu Yao wiped his face with rainwater and now his mind gradually cleared up.
After hearing this, he thought for a while and said:
"It's raining heavily, I'm afraid you won't be able to use the car."
"Ha~"
Hai Hou chuckled.
His expression became brighter.
"Sister Li, shall I take you back to the hotel?"
"Well..."
Hai Hou thought for a while, but suddenly shook her head:
"If you want to go shopping, go to Hang Lung."
"Okay."
Plaza 66, one of the best shopping malls in Shanghai.
"Lu Yao."
"Eh...huh?"
Lu Yao, who instinctively agreed, was stunned.
This was the first time Haihou called his name instead of "Xiaolu".
Looking at his surprised look, Hai Hou smiled and shrugged:
"Your name is quite nice. "The Ordinary World"..."
"I can't compare with this great writer."
"You are much more handsome than him."
"Uh..."
Lu Yaoxin said this could be compared?
At this time, Haihou continued:
"Can you eat spicy food?"
"...It's okay. I quite like Sichuan food."
In his previous life, he stayed in Sichuan and Chongqing for many years, and he could almost be said to be half a Sichuan and Chongqing native.
For the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine, it is now possible to judge the spiciness not just by simple spiciness, but after taking a bite, you can tell how spicy the paste of chili is, whether it is fragrant or not, and what about the sea pepper...
I'm not a gourmand, but after you get used to living in a place, you will naturally take its mark.
After hearing this, Hai Hou said directly:
"Shall we have hot pot tonight?"
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao was stunned again.
Are you asking me to eat together?
This...
Although what he wants most now is to go home and sleep, he still nodded:
"Okay."
"Well, the hot pot restaurant above Hang Lung is very spicy, so be prepared."
It seems to be solved directly in the mall.
Lu Yao smiled and said:
"Okay, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman."
Hu Li also showed a smile, then lowered his head and opened his cell phone. He didn't know who he was sending a message to.
"Sister Li, do you want to listen to some music?"
"Okay."
Soon, music started playing in X6.
……
The city is very congested at night during peak hours, but the traffic is orderly.
I received the call at around five o'clock, and by the time we arrived at Plaza 66, it was already past six o'clock.
Lu Yao thought she would go directly to eat, but she didn't.
After parking the car, the two went directly into the mall.
Lu Yao has a very clear positioning of himself.
Driver, carry your bag and move forward with heavy load.
After Hu Li entered the mall, the first thing he did was go to the first floor, where Lu Yao queued up to buy two drinks.
She drank an iced Americano.
Lu Yao, considering his sleep plan, just asked for a cup of lemon tea.
Holding lemon tea, he followed Hu Li.
Hu Li's goal was to go straight to the first floor.
The first floor is full of luxury goods counters, which in Lu Yao's opinion are in line with her worth.
After all, everyone’s pocket money exceeds hundreds of millions...
It's really an exaggeration when you think about it.
How rich a family must be to be able to support her spending so much?
Sure enough, after the two of them got to the first floor, Hu Li's first target was Hermès at the elevator entrance.
The counter lady at Hermès who took turns to receive customers seemed to know Hu Li.
The moment he saw her, those eyes... looked like Ultraman in Lu Yao's eyes.
The light came on directly.
"Sister, you're here. I haven't seen you for a long time. Jesse, go get two bottles of water..."
"Yeah."
Hu Li nodded, but his reaction was dull.
He took Lu Yao and walked directly in.
"Sister, we just got a few bags today..."
The counter girl was very attentive, but Hu Li's reaction was still mediocre. She didn't even linger in the luggage area, but turned directly into the ready-made clothing area.
On the left is the men's ready-to-wear section, and on the right is the women's section.
The counter sister instinctively walked to the right, but she saw the God of Wealth walking to the left.
As for Lu Yao, he played the role of "assistant" very honestly. As he walked towards that station, he had nothing but a polite smile to the counter sister. As a result, Hu Li looked around the men's ready-to-wear area and started pointing.
"This one, this one, this one..."
She pointed seven or eight times, and the counter sister nodded seven or eight times.
Then, Hu Li pointed at Lu Yao behind him:
"Take his size."
This was said to the counter sister.
Then she said to Lu Yao:
"Go and try it out. It should suit you very well."
"...???"
Lu Yao was stunned.
Both eyes were a little straight, and they subconsciously pointed their fingers at themselves.
That means:
"Me?"
Hu Li nodded:
"Go and change."
"Sister Li..."
"Go quickly."
Lu Yao wanted to say something else, but Hu Li didn't give him a chance and waved directly.
"Jesse, take Mr. to the fitting room."
The counter sister also spoke, and then climbed up the pole:
"Sister Li, your taste is as good as ever..."
"..."
Hu Li glanced at her but didn't respond.
Then continue to circle around.
Lu Yao was brought to the door of the fitting room by the young counter sister in front of him with a speechless face, and a black shirt was stuffed in his hand.
"Sir, you try this one first, and I'll get the others for you."
"..."
Lu Yao looked down at the shirt in his hand.
Just black.
No decoration, no stripes or anything like that.
Just an ordinary shirt.
The price on the collarable tag is 13850...
He recognized the value of product brands, but these luxury goods, which were beyond his recognized price, still gave him a sense of déjà vu that was rubbing off his IQ.
But he still walked into the fitting room.
Soon, black replaced white.
When he opened the door and walked out, Jesse was already waiting for him with a pile of clothes. Hu Li and the counter girl were standing next to them.
Hu Li looked Lu Yao up and down and said with a smile:
"I just realized that your shoulders are very broad and you look like a standard dresser."
"Indeed, Sister Li has good taste, and this gentleman has a very good figure..."
Just as the cabinet sister spoke, Hu Li glanced at her again.
The sound stopped suddenly.
So, the queen of the sea licked the straw with her red lips:
"Try putting these pants on again."
"...Okay."
Lu Yao entered the fitting room again with a pair of 18,000 yuan.
Then there is a pair of shoes worth nine thousand.
Then, there was another short-sleeved shirt worth six thousand sixty-six dollars.
Another pair of 7,500. Another nine thousand three.
And...
Double...
Three more.
Four again...
Waiting until Lu Yao himself became a little impatient, Hu Li nodded:
"Well, wrap them all up."
"Sister Li, don't!"
Lu Yao stopped him immediately.
Although he had begun to feel numb, he clearly remembered the approximate prices of the dozen or so pieces of clothing he had purchased.
The average price is at least around 10,000.
He exchanged more than ten pieces, and Hai Hou wants them all?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This power was too great and he couldn't bear it.
But after Hu Li heard this, his face became tense:
"Then I threw it away?"
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
Then... the sister handed the card to the counter sister.
"Put everything you can fit together. I'm too lazy to take so many boxes. Send Versace to me after finishing it."
Only then did Lu Yao see that what she took was not a credit card, but a shopping mall shopping card.
After finishing her words, she pursed her lips to Lu Yao:
"This looks good. Let's put it on first. Your shirt is wet and it's uncomfortable to wear. Let's go~"
Then he walked towards the exit on his own.
Lu Yao really had to bite the bullet and keep up.
Because the people around him looked at him with something obviously wrong.
After walking out of the store, Lu Yao quickly stepped forward and said:
"Sister Li, this... is really inappropriate. This dress is too expensive..."
"Then will you have dinner with me later?"
Faced with his embarrassment, Hai Hou asked with a smile.
"Aren't they next to each other?"
"No, come next to me. You can treat me to that meal later."
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
But the rich woman smiled even brighter:
"Not to mention, it's quite enjoyable to watch you try on clothes. Let's go... Versace's clothes are good-looking and more suitable for you."
"But you can't buy it like this..."
"Well, then buy less."
"That's not what I meant..."
"Okay, mother-in-law, I'm in a bad mood today, please let me vent."
"..."
Lu Yao was speechless for a moment.
So...
Four thousand, eleven thousand, seven thousand, Armani, LV, Valentino...
Midway, Lu Yao struggled again:
"Sister Li, if you buy any more, I really can't fit it in my wardrobe..."
"Can the wardrobe still hold it?"
The rich woman said the words "Are you kidding me" in a tone that made Lu Yao worried about myocardial infarction.
No, sister.
Do you have any misunderstandings about wardrobes?
Are the wardrobes we are talking about the same thing?
Something like a wardrobe...a rectangular shape with a mezzanine on top for bedding, a few clothes hanging in the middle, folded pants underneath the clothes, some seasonal clothes stuffed into the squares below, and pants and socks in the drawer. .
It should be... like this, right?
Isn’t it your wardrobe?
And in the end...the shopping trip finally ended when Lu Yao tried his best to stop the Rolex she wanted to buy for herself.
Hu Li's intention is still not over.
Lu Yao was messy in the air-conditioned wind.
The Hermès store is already filled with shopping bags from various peers.
"Give them the keys, tell them the parking space number, and let's go have hot pot. Your treat!"
"..."
The speechless Lu Yao obediently handed over the key.
When they walked over, the counter girl, Jesse, and a guy with a luggage trolley looked at Lu Yao in a way that couldn't be described as something wrong.
Emotions run the gamut.
Especially that dude.
The look in Lu Yao's eyes seemed to say:
"Three Thousand Dao, congratulations, brother, for your arbitrariness for eternity in the way of the pretty boy, and for becoming the Emperor of Heaven."
Lu Yao was unable to respond.
……
The hotpot restaurant was bustling with people.
But Hu Li's appearance still attracted a lot of people's attention.
The rich woman has become accustomed to it.
Sitting on the small bench, the first thing I said:
"Hot."
After saying that, he took the menu and started ordering.
Hot pot, Lu Yao naturally consumes it.
It's just that I'm feeling a little on pins and needles at the moment.
However, the rich woman ordered the food very quickly. After finishing the order, she handed it to Lu Yao:
"Look at what you want to eat."
Lu Yao looked at the contents on the menu and found... the rich woman was quite good at ordering.
Rocket squid, xuewang, hairy tripe, bean sprouts, tender meat slices... I didn't even look at the "Inner Mongolian lamb" recommended on the menu.
Not to mention, he is an expert.
After he symbolically added some rattan vegetables, he asked the waiter to place his order.
After the waiter left, Lu Yaocai said:
"Sister Li, today..."
"Okay."
As if she guessed what he was going to say, Hu Li waved her hand:
"Eat well. Let's go and mix the oil dishes."
"...Okay."
Lu Yao followed her to the condiment table.
And when I came back, the pot was already on the bottom.
Lu Yao didn't feel anything special about the hill-like butter base and red pepper.
I was used to staying in Sichuan and Chongqing in my previous life, and all the locals started out very hot. Sometimes I feel that the pot bottom is not flavorful enough and I will take the initiative to tell the boss and ask him to bring a ladle of pot bottom to add more spice.
Hu Li, on the other hand, looked at the unboiled bottom of the pot and swallowed his saliva.
"Xiaochu doesn't like spicy food very much, you know?"
"Uh..."
"When we go out to eat hot pot, I have to accommodate her and order the mandarin duck pot."
“Actually, I can eat spicy food very well.”
"...?"
There is nothing wrong with what I said before.
But this last sentence sounded a little confusing to Lu Yao.
Why do you always feel that the rich woman is a little guilty?
Then...
"Hiss~"
"Ha..."
"Chichi."
Lu Yao looked at Haihou's nose, which started to turn red, and his head was sweating profusely, especially when his red lips, which were eager to be bitten, were swollen, and he thought to himself, "What a bean sprout, sister."
You've been doing this for bean sprouts, and you still say you can eat spicy food?
Chang Wei, it seems like you really don’t know how to do martial arts.
"Sister Li, why don't you change it to slightly spicy?"
"Hiss...it's okay, the spiciness is just right."
Lu Yaoxin said, just be tough.
Your eyes are red...huh?
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.
However, Hai Hou, who refused to change the bottom of the pot, took another chopstick of bean sprouts.
After taking it into his mouth, he started to hiss.
Then, she put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue, wiped her eyes, and saw Lu Yao looking at her, smiling slightly:
"This is how I eat spicy food...hehe."
She smiled happily.
It's like really enjoying this hot food.
