Chapter 302

After eating and drinking their fill at the cafeteria, the two drove away from the school.

"Brother, my mom has come to Jiangcheng, and my dad wants us to go over for dinner this afternoon."

In the passenger seat, Xia Nuannuan, who was sending a message on her phone, looked up at Qin Tian beside her and said.

"Auntie is here?"

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly nodded and said, "That's fine, we'll go over after we finish shopping."

"Mm-hmm!"

"Ask Auntie if she wants us to pick up some groceries or something on the way."

"Oh, right!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded in realization and immediately typed out a message.

"My mom said if it's convenient, we can just buy whatever we want to eat."

"Alright then, let's go look at the bicycles first, then go see what groceries to buy."

"Okay!"

"Why did Auntie suddenly come to Jiangcheng?"

Qin Tian asked casually.

"I don't know, maybe she was bored at home alone!"

Xia Nuannuan shared her guess and said with a helpless smile, "I often call her at night, and I feel like she misses me a bit, even though she acts very happy on the surface."

"Looks like mothers are the same everywhere!"

Qin Tian said with a smile.

His own mother rarely called him first, and when he called her every few days, she always maintained the tone that the shop was very busy and she didn't have time to talk to him.

But Qin Tian could naturally feel that his mother was thinking of him and was very happy when she received his calls.

"Yeah, the National Day holiday is coming up soon, and I was saying I'd go back and spend a few days with her, but then she suddenly came here today."

Xia Nuannuan said with a smile.

"Then tonight, we'll have a good meal with Uncle and Auntie."

"Mm!"

"Tomorrow and the day after are the weekend, you can also stay at home for two nights and spend more time with Auntie."

Qin Tian suggested.

"We'll see later!"

"Mm!"

The car drove all the way to the commercial street, and after finding a parking lot to park in, the two got out and started shopping.

They bought two cups of popular milk tea at a shop with a long line and strolled around while drinking them, holding hands.

"Nuannuan, I want to taste yours."

Qin Tian smiled and pursed his lips.

Xia Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then handed the straw of her milk tea to his mouth.

Qin Tian took a big slurp and nodded in praise, "Mm, yours is not bad either."

"You took such a big gulp, mine is almost finished by you."

Xia Nuannuan feigned a look of anger, puffing out her cheeks, her expressive eyes staring at his cup.

"Then you can drink mine!"

Qin Tian smiled in understanding and handed his cup of milk tea over.

Xia Nuannuan lowered her head, learned from him, and took a big gulp, smiling with satisfaction.

Just then, two boys walked past them, and after seeing this scene, they began to whisper to each other.

"Bro, did you see that? There's nothing good about having a girlfriend. If it were me, I'd just buy two cups and drink my fill."

"Can you not be so sour in your tone?"

"Get lost, who's sour? Let's go, let's go buy two cups of milk tea up ahead."

"Two cups each?"

"Are you stupid? Can you finish two cups?"

"If you're treating, don't say two cups, twenty cups would be no problem!"

"Screw you, why don't you treat?"

"Tsk, stingy, no wonder you're single."

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan heard their exchange, looked at each other in astonishment, and then both burst into laughter.

The two boys behind them heard the laughter and immediately realized they had been speaking too loudly; with flushed faces, they quickened their pace toward the milk tea shop.

After finishing their milk tea, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan walked into a Giant bicycle specialty store.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

A female clerk greeted them with a warm smile.

"We're just looking at bicycles."

Qin Tian replied.

"Alright, what kind are you looking for? Let me give you some recommendations."

"Mainly for getting around school."

"I see!"

The female clerk nodded in realization and then recommended a few models to them.

Qin Tian's gaze landed on a mountain bike that was primarily red, priced at just over two thousand.

Giant is an international brand, and this price was only for a basic model; there were plenty of more expensive ones in the store, and there were even ones hanging on the wall worth over a hundred thousand.

Since it was just for commuting at school, Qin Tian didn't need to buy anything too fancy.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford the money, but in a place like school where there were many people and eyes, he couldn't possibly move the bike into the dormitory every day, so buying something too expensive would actually be troublesome.

If it were stolen, the money would be a small matter, but he would have to come back to buy another one, wasting time and energy.

"Nuannuan, how about this one?"

Qin Tian asked Xia Nuannuan, who was beside him.

"It's quite good!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded with a smile.

"Then we'll take this one."

Qin Tian said to the clerk.

It was just a bicycle, as long as it was practical, there was no need to be too picky.

"Alright, do you need me to recommend another one?"

The clerk asked with a smile.

"No need!"

Qin Tian shook his head and asked, "Can you add a seat on the back?"

"Huh?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment.

Qin Tian pointed to the back seat of the bicycle and said again, "We want to add a seat for a passenger, a better one, the kind that's more comfortable. Do you have any in the store?"

"Yes, we do!"

The female clerk nodded repeatedly, looking at Xia Nuannuan beside him with envious eyes.

Xia Nuannuan smiled a bit shyly.

Afterwards, the female clerk took them to the accessories area in the back and introduced a few back seats to them.

The prices ranged from over one hundred to several hundred, and the quality looked decent, but Qin Tian wasn't very satisfied.

His gaze moved upward and landed on a black leather back seat at the very top.

"Can that one be installed?"

Qin Tian raised his hand to point at the back seat and asked the clerk.

The clerk looked up and was stunned again, then kindly reminded him with a smile, "Handsome, this back seat is the most high-end one in our store; it's not very suitable for the bike you chose. Don't misunderstand, I just don't think it's necessary, this one is a bit expensive."

"It's fine, just tell me if it can be installed. This one should be more comfortable to sit on."

"It can be installed, it's just..."

The clerk hesitated, feeling a bit dumbfounded.

This back seat was actually much more expensive than the bicycle itself; it was mainly here for display purposes, and basically no one would buy this thing.

Mountain bikes weren't really suitable for adding a back seat, let alone adding one that was more expensive than the bike itself.

She had been working here for several years, and this was truly the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"As long as it can be installed, we'll take this one."

Qin Tian decided directly.

"Beauty, your boyfriend is truly beyond words to you."

The clerk had a strange expression and said to Xia Nuannuan with eyes full of envy.

Xia Nuannuan smiled sweetly and linked her arm with Qin Tian's.

Afterwards, the clerk called over the technician from the store's repair area to help install the back seat, while she took the two of them to the checkout counter to pay.

The bicycle was 2188, the back seat was 3588, totaling 5776. After a discount and rounding off the change, Qin Tian paid 5500 yuan by card.

The repair technician was very efficient, and in a short while, the back seat was installed.

To be honest, it looked a bit incongruous.

After the back seat was installed, the bike didn't look high-end or classy at all; instead, it felt even lower-end.

However, Qin Tian felt very satisfied; this was the effect he wanted!
