Chapter 159: Global Extreme Cold 2
Whether she was sick or not, Chu Yian successfully moved in.
Finding a place to stay meant she could save another sum of money. She entered the guest room, looked around, and then took out her treasure box.
“Third Grade Winter Holiday Homework · Math Edition”
“Note: To be collected after this round of the game ends”
“Good Item’s Thoughts: Grandpa Treasure Box doesn’t know why it appeared, perhaps it hopes you’ll gain some knowledge in the icy wilderness.”
…Useless.
Touching this treasure box almost extinguished the joy she felt from meeting Teacher Lu. Yet, in the short time it took them to return to Lu Qingyuan’s villa, the weather outside had already changed.
The sky was dark, and dark clouds gathered. Strong winds made the trees outside sway, as if a downpour was imminent.
Was the temperature going to drop starting now?
Chu Yian remembered that she hadn’t stocked up on anything all afternoon, and she felt a little anxious. Thinking of this, she quickly ran out to find Lu Qingyuan.
“Go out to buy things? Can’t you go yourself?”
“The villa area is strictly managed; if I go out, I won’t be able to get back in.”
She looked at him, “Let’s go. The temperature is going to drop soon, and you probably have a lot of things you need too.”
Lu Qingyuan was speechless.
She didn’t know that the things he needed would be specially delivered to the villa; this place was usually just for sleeping and working.
“Come on, let’s go.”
Chu Yian didn’t care about any of that; she dragged Lu Qingyuan out. Compared to reasoning with him, direct force was more efficient.
The largest Shopping Mall in the city
Chu Yian first frantically stocked up on enough instant food and biscuits for two people for 15 days in the basement, and then found discounted hand warmers in a corner of the supermarket.
The moment she saw the hand warmers, she felt as if she had seen a relative. She took all two boxes of hand warmers.
This left Lu Qingyuan, who was beside her, dumbfounded.
Besides hand warmers, Chu Yian also bought two thermos cups and discounted down quilts.
Lu Qingyuan, who had been observing her behavior, finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are you preparing for winter?”
“Yes.”
Chu Yian nodded, then looked at the already full shopping cart again, “You watch the things; I’ll go get another cart.”
Lu Qingyuan looked at the cart full of things and remained silent… Who would want all this junk?
Flashlights, batteries, radios.
Chu Yian bought all these miscellaneous items too.
Lu Qingyuan went from surprise to incomprehension, and now he was considering whether to fire this employee who seemed to be mentally unstable.
The trunk of the car he drove was already packed full, but Chu Yian’s urge to buy hadn’t stopped.
Right in the lobby on the first floor of the Shopping Mall, a national brand of down jackets was having a 50% off sale! At a time like this, it was like a timely help in snowy weather.
“I need thick ones, windproof, rainproof, and waterproof.”
Chu Yian stated her requirements, making the sales staff’s eyes light up. They carefully selected several items, but only realized when checking out—they were so expensive!
Each of these down jackets cost one to two thousand!
Chu Yian had already spent several hundred in the supermarket, and now she didn’t have enough money to buy even the cheapest one.
Today, she only encountered Teacher Lu; she hadn’t stocked enough supplies and hadn’t gotten any money.
“Teacher Lu…”
“No borrowing.”
Chu Yian hadn’t even finished speaking when Lu Qingyuan interrupted her thoughts, “Autumn hasn’t even arrived yet; why are you buying so many winter items? A discount doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good deal; it’s just a tactic for businesses to stimulate your consumption.”
Winter hadn’t arrived, but the severe cold was coming soon.
It was a bit inconvenient to find a pawn shop to sell Grandpa Treasure Box right now, so she slowly moved closer to Lu Qingyuan, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, “Lend me some money, or I’ll hug your leg in public and embarrass you.”
