As the provincial capital, Xiang City’s various industries were quite well-developed.
While it couldn’t compare to the prosperity of Yang City, Xiang City had all the requisite shopping malls and skyscrapers.
This was especially true for a local like Lin Feng.
In Yang City, he didn’t know the people or the place.
But in Xiang City, Lin Feng could at least consider himself a host.
The only downside was that it was currently rush hour.
There were a lot of cars on the road, and traffic was heavy.
More cars also meant a much higher chance of accidents.
The three of them were stuck in traffic for over an hour before finally parking in the mall’s garage.
It couldn’t be helped.
There were just too many people out for the National Day holiday.
As Lin Feng walked through the mall with the two young women, he drew a lot of attention.
This was especially true for Lin Xiaoman and Su Ruoxi. Both had incredibly high Appearance, and either one of them alone was stunning enough to capture everyone’s attention.
It was true that Xiang City had many beautiful women.
But in reality, there were only so many beauties who scored above ninety; otherwise, they wouldn’t be considered one in ten thousand.
Although Lin Xiaoman had deliberately made Lin Feng walk a few steps away from them,
he still became the most envied guy in the entire mall.
"Ruoxi."
"If you see any clothes you like, just let me know."
The main purpose of this trip was to pick out clothes for Su Ruoxi.
After all, she had left in such a hurry that she hadn’t brought anything with her. She couldn’t keep wearing his clothes, could she?
Before Su Ruoxi could even respond,
Lin Xiaoman got a little jealous and muttered resentfully.
"My greatest wish in this life..."
"...is for Lin Feng to say something like that to me one day."
The way she said it made it sound as if Lin Feng was constantly mistreating her.
It was one thing when their family was struggling financially.
But now Lin Feng had money. When he came back, he’d even brought her gifts worth tens of thousands.
Yet Lin Xiaoman was still saying things like this.
"Lin Xiaoman!"
"That necklace you wanted, do you not want it anymore?"
Lin Feng glanced back at Lin Xiaoman coolly.
That immediately shut her up.
’A great man knows when to yield and when to stand firm.’
’Even though she wasn’t a man,’
’she knew when it was time to yield.’
Su Ruoxi chuckled as she watched the siblings bicker.
"Which necklace do you like? I can buy it for you."
Su Ruoxi offered to buy the necklace for Lin Xiaoman.
But how could Lin Xiaoman possibly accept?
She made wishes to Lin Feng,
because he was her biological brother.
But what was her relationship with Su Ruoxi?
A sister-in-law, supposedly.
But in reality, the two of them had probably been together for less than a month.
Under these circumstances,
asking for something worth ten thousand?
Never mind Lin Feng disagreeing,
even Lin Xiaoman herself wasn’t that shameless.
’Even though, in her heart, she’d already accepted Su Ruoxi as her sister-in-law.’
"No need, Sister Ruoxi. My brother already promised to buy me a necklace."
"I’m not going to pass up an opportunity like this."
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoman lifted her chin slightly and glanced at Lin Feng.
Buying clothes for Su Ruoxi was relatively simple.
Su Ruoxi herself wasn’t very demanding when it came to clothes.
Besides, she had excellent taste.
You could tell from the time she’d picked out clothes for Lin Feng.
Any outfit that caught Su Ruoxi’s eye,
always looked great when worn.
Just like right now.
Every time Su Ruoxi came out in a new outfit,
both Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoman were left stunned.
Even though Lin Xiaoman herself was a highly-rated beauty,
sometimes, women appreciate beautiful women even more than men do.
"Bro, why do I get the feeling you’re not good enough for Sister Ruoxi?"
Sitting next to Lin Feng and watching Su Ruoxi in the fitting room mirror, Lin Xiaoman suddenly spoke up.
Lin Feng’s face instantly darkened.
"What’s that supposed to mean?"
Lin Feng tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Xiaoman.
"Am I really that bad in your eyes?"
’Okay, if we’re just talking about Appearance, he really can’t compare to Su Ruoxi.’
’But I can make money!’
’A daily salary of tens of thousands is no joke, you know?’
"Of course I’m not saying you’re bad."
Lin Xiaoman giggled. "I’m just saying Sister Ruoxi deserves better."
"Someone less stiff than you."
Lin Feng was, indeed, quite stiff.
He was accompanying Su Ruoxi to buy clothes, yet he just sat in the rest area the whole time.
’But isn’t that normal?’
Lin Feng was about to retort.
Just then, the long-silent system suddenly appeared in his mind.
[DING... Congratulations, Host, for triggering a random mission: Prove that you are the most suitable boyfriend for Su Ruoxi.]
[This is a limited-time mission. Duration: one week.]
[After one week, a reward score will be calculated based on Lin Xiaoman’s and Su Ruoxi’s satisfaction with the Host.]
[Mission Reward: Unknown.]
[Note: The reward will vary based on the level of satisfaction.]
’A mission was triggered?’
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback.
’Who knew Lin Xiaoman could be useful like this?’
’And this time it’s a timed mission, giving me a week to work on it.’
’The only frustrating part is not knowing the reward.’
’But that’s what makes it fun.’
’Because usually, when the system doesn’t specify the mission reward, the final prize ends up being very generous!’
’The prerequisite is that I have to get a high rating. Otherwise, it’s all for nothing.’
Accompanying them shopping, wandering around, eating and drinking.
’By walking this path of a professional companion, I wonder what kind of rating I can get.’
’But just doing this might be enough to pass, but getting a high score will be difficult.’
Seeing that Lin Feng had gone quiet,
Lin Xiaoman got up and walked over to Su Ruoxi.
Lin Feng sat there alone, watching Lin Xiaoman and Su Ruoxi pick out clothes. Suddenly, he stood up and walked out of the store.
Neither Lin Xiaoman nor Su Ruoxi noticed that Lin Feng had left.
’A good man should show he cares about a woman through the details.’
’To get a high score...’
After leaving the store, Lin Feng ducked into a shop that sold women’s lingerie.
’Su Ruoxi didn’t bring anything with her.’
’She didn’t even bring a change of clothes, so naturally, she didn’t bring any underwear either.’
’Besides, with Lin Xiaoman around, Su Ruoxi would probably be too embarrassed to buy these things herself.’
’So, I have to buy them for her.’
’What can I say? I’m a good man!’
’I wonder how many points this will add to my score.’
’It should be a lot, right?’
’I don’t have any weird fetishes. I’m just doing this for the reward.’
Repeating this silently to himself, Lin Feng strode inside.
However, Lin Feng had overestimated himself.
After entering and seeing all the different kinds of lingerie,
Lin Feng was once again completely lost. He could only raise his hand to call over a sales associate.
"Hi handsome, can I help you with anything?"
The sales associate, in her uniform and stockings, thought Lin Feng might have walked into the wrong store.
But when she saw him beckoning to her, she had no choice but to walk over and ask.
"Um, could you please help me get two sets in 34C?"
"Nothing too flashy."
Lin Feng couldn’t bring himself to go any further into the store, so he just didn’t.
He stood four or five steps from the entrance and had the associate do the picking.
"Of course, sir."
"Did you want a matching top and bottom?"
The associate asked again, and Lin Feng nodded.
’When buying this kind of thing, it’s better to get a matching set.’
’Two sets should be enough for a week.’
’She just needs one to wear while the other is being washed.’
Lin Feng stood there, waiting for the associate to bring the items over.
To avoid any awkwardness, Lin Feng could only look down and pretend to be playing on his phone.
Just then, two young-looking women walked toward him.
"Lin Feng?"
A female voice called out from in front of him.
Hearing the voice,
Lin Feng looked up and was instantly embarrassed.
"What a coincidence. You guys are here too."
Having been recognized, Lin Feng had no choice but to put his phone away.
He greeted them.
But the two women across from him seemed oblivious to his discomfort.
One of them let out a hollow laugh. "Running into you in a place like this... it really is a coincidence, isn’t it?"
If he couldn’t detect the mockery in her tone,
Lin Feng would have to be a complete idiot.
His brow furrowed slightly. "No matter what, we were once classmates. Is this really necessary?"
"Heh, I’m just showing some concern for you."
"What? You’ve started buying women’s underwear now?"
"Don’t tell me you have a girlfriend?"
The one speaking was named Wang Shan.
Like the woman next to her, she was one of Lin Feng’s high school classmates.
But due to some past events, this Wang Shan held a bit of a grudge against Lin Feng.
Hearing her words, Lin Feng didn’t bother to respond.
"What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?"
Lin Feng didn’t want to engage, but Wang Shan had no intention of stopping.
"You don’t really have a girlfriend, do you?"
"No way. A guy like you could actually find a girlfriend?"
Wang Shan’s words were filled with condescension for Lin Feng.
"And why couldn’t Lin Feng find a girlfriend?"
But just as his old classmate was mocking him, Su Ruoxi’s voice sounded from behind him.
Lin Feng turned around.
He saw Lin Xiaoman and Su Ruoxi walking into the store.
Su Ruoxi walked right up and linked her arm with Lin Feng’s.
"What did you just say?"
"That Lin Feng can’t find a girlfriend?"
