Chapter 81: Showed off by a young couple

Yucheng isn't big; riding a small electric scooter around it doesn't even take half a day.

However, as one of the mid-sized cities in the city circle accelerating its construction with Jiangcheng as the center, Yucheng's development speed has been quite fast in recent years.

The most bustling commercial street in the city center isn't too far from Yucheng No. 4 High School, about a thirty-minute walk.

After discussing it, the two decided to just walk there.

In any case, the weather was perfect today, with clear skies for miles and a temperature of over ten degrees—neither cold nor hot.

Passing by a popular roasted snack shop near the school, Qin Tian went over to buy some sugar-roasted chestnuts, while Xia Nuannuan bought two cups of lemon tea at a shop nearby.

Afterward, the two of them, each carrying a cup of lemon tea and happily eating the sugar-roasted chestnuts, strolled slowly toward the commercial street.

"Here."

Qin Tian peeled another chestnut and handed it to Xia Nuannuan beside him.

"You eat it, I won't have any more. I ate quite a bit for breakfast; if I eat any more, my calorie intake for the day will exceed the limit."

Xia Nuannuan waved her hand with a radiant smile.

"It's fine, you're already in great shape; there's no need to be so strict. Besides, a cheat day for fat loss is necessary too."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed slightly, but she took it and put it in her mouth.

With a light bite of her teeth into the soft, glutinous chestnut meat, the sweet flavor overflowed on the tip of her tongue, sweetening all the way to her heart.

Xia Nuannuan tilted her head to look at his handsome profile and smiled sweetly: "It's really delicious."

Qin Tian peeled another one, popped it into his own mouth, and laughed: "You haven't had this shop's roasted chestnuts before? No way? Everyone from our school should have tried them, right!"

"Of course I have!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded and smiled amusedly: "It tastes even better today."

"Is that so? I have that feeling too."

Qin Tian took a sip of lemon tea and added: "In the winter, these are even better when they're fresh out of the oven. Their roasted sweet potatoes are also a specialty, but it's a pity they aren't selling them now. I used to buy one often after school to take home and split with my mom."

"Mm-hmm!"

"It's a pity we're graduating soon..."

"It's okay. When we come back during winter break, we'll come here together and eat roasted sweet potatoes."

Xia Nuannuan blurted out.

Then she saw that Qin Tian's face was already wearing a rather subtle smile.

Xia Nuannuan's exquisite little face turned red again. After rolling her eyes at him, she shyly lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Does this count as our second promise?"

"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about."

"No way? Forgot so soon?"

"Ahhh... I can't hear you, I can't hear you."

"Haha..."

When you are with the person you like, you always feel that time passes very quickly.

The thirty-minute journey was spent chatting and laughing, and it felt like they reached the commercial street in the blink of an eye.

"Do you want to go buy a phone first?"

Xia Nuannuan asked, looking at Qin Tian beside her.

"Yeah!"

Qin Tian nodded.

"Then let's go behind the mall; that's where all the phones and appliances are sold."

Xia Nuannuan raised her hand and pointed in the direction behind the mall ahead.

"Okay!"

Qin Tian replied, and together with her, he walked to the zebra crossing at the intersection to wait for the green light.

This was the busiest city center, and since it was a weekend, there were many people like them out shopping.

Soon, there were quite a few passersby standing around them who were also heading to the mall.

Among them were several young couples holding hands and laughing; there was even a pair who looked younger than them.

Xia Nuannuan glanced at the young couple holding hands out of the corner of her eye, and then subconsciously glanced at Qin Tian's hand beside her.

The lemon tea was finished, and he was carrying the remaining sugar-roasted chestnuts in his hand.

Xia Nuannuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but sneak a peek at that young couple again.

The next second, her large, watery eyes suddenly widened.

She saw that young couple, who definitely looked like junior high students, actually kissing in public, and then the girl hugged the boy's arm with a happy and sweet expression.

"The light is turning green soon!"

Qin Tian's voice suddenly sounded beside her.

"Ah? Oh, oh!"

Xia Nuannuan hurriedly withdrew her gaze and stepped forward to cross the street.

"Wait a second!"

Qin Tian suddenly reached out and grabbed her little hand.

The plastic bag he had been carrying in his right hand had somehow been switched to his left.

Feeling the temperature of his palm, Xia Nuannuan's cheeks flushed instantly, and she looked at him with a gaze that was both shy and puzzled.

"What are you thinking about? I said it's almost time, it hasn't turned yet!"

Qin Tian explained with amusement.

"Oh!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded in realization and looked up at the traffic light across the street; sure enough, it was only just turning green.

"Alright, let's go!"

Qin Tian said with a smile, and like the other couples around, he held her cool, soft little hand and walked across the street.

On the other side, where Xia Nuannuan couldn't see, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

In fact, he had seen all of Xia Nuannuan's little actions, including that shameless young couple who had shown off in front of him.

If he knew their parents or teachers, the first thing he would do after buying his phone would be to call and report them.

They hadn't even grown all their hair yet, and here they were learning to show off their affection—it was simply outrageous!

And there was no need to doubt it; he had intentionally spoken early just now.

He had to thank that "normie" roommate in college who had made him envious for teaching them, a few miserable single dogs, many techniques for picking up girls.

Of course, every time that guy spoke in that smug tone, he never escaped the "fists of justice" from the rest of them.

After crossing the street, Xia Nuannuan was still standing there in a daze, looking down at their joined hands.

"There are too many people here, I'd better hold your hand!"

Qin Tian said in a feigned calm tone.

Xia Nuannuan came back to her senses, her little face turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mm..."

She replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.

Just like that, the two of them walked hand-in-hand to the back of the mall and entered a phone store.

This was probably the largest phone store in Yucheng; looking around, there were sales areas for all the currently popular phone brands.

In 2012, the phone industry was undergoing a major revolution, and the market share of major domestic phone manufacturers in the smartphone market was growing rapidly.

However, there was no doubt that at this time, domestic phones still had a long way to go compared to Apple in every aspect.

The hottest-selling phone right now was undoubtedly the iPhone 4S, released last October.

At this moment, there were quite a few customers consulting at the counter in the Apple sales area.

Qin Tian walked straight over, holding Xia Nuannuan's hand.

Without needing the salesperson to introduce anything, he directly asked for a black 4S, the same model as Xia Nuannuan's.

The young saleswoman looked at him with obvious surprise; buying a 5,000-yuan phone without hesitation—could he be some spoiled rich kid?

Surprise was surprise, but the young lady wouldn't be foolish enough to look down on a customer. With a professional, enthusiastic smile on her face, she quickly wrote up the receipt and took him to the cashier to settle the bill. ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
