Chapter 20: Don’t Have Useless Things
The white snow-capped mountains towered into the clouds, under the light blue sky, snowflakes danced endlessly, and the world was blanketed in white…
Cough, cough.
Cu changed into the blue and white clothes that Chen Yuan had picked for her.
These items matched her dressing style, similar to what she wore when she arrived in this world.
It seemed the teacher liked this style…
After changing her underwear, she dressed and stepped out.
Although it was hard to see from the outside, Chen Yuan knew she must have changed successfully.
He felt a certain satisfaction inside, though he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly it was.
The last time he felt so happy spending money on someone else was when he bought a certain earring for Yu Enqi.
d*mn, why did he think of that stupid woman again…
It felt as if he had become less mature after returning this time. Was it because his body was still that of a young boy?
However, looking at Cu dressed in her simple modern outfit, stylish and beautiful, Chen Yuan felt something was missing…
It wasn’t the skirt, it was… the decorations!
Her crown was gone, and she lacked many shiny ornaments, giving her a plain feel.
Of course, people who saw her for the first time in this world wouldn’t think so.
“Cu, do you want to look at earrings or bracelets?” Chen Yuan asked.
“Sure.” Cu agreed without hesitation, as if it were second nature to approve all of Chen Yuan’s suggestions…
“Alright, let’s go.”
Clerk: “Thank you for your patronage, take care~”
Chen Yuan carried the bag, while Cu attempted to help him, but he shot her a glare to refuse.
Mainly, because it contained her changed clothes, including intimate garments, she wasn’t too comfortable letting Chen Yuan carry them.
What if Chen Yuan accidentally took them out to smell…
She hadn’t showered in a few days, and had been sleeping in a filthy alley at night…
Chen Yuan: ??????
How careless would I have to be to do that…
Only a pervert would do something like that, okay?!
On the way, Chen Yuan also bought two bottles of water and glanced through every clothing store to see if there was anything he needed to buy for her.
At one shoe store, he went in and grabbed two pairs.
Then, about ten minutes later, he had two shoe bags in hand and got her a few pairs of little white socks that fit her perfectly.
They looked clean.
Mainly because she was too pale; other colors didn’t look quite right on her.
After a trip out, she was now brand new from head to toe…
Whether inside or outside…
Now even her feet were new too…
All from the teacher…
Thinking about this, she suddenly felt a bit happy, repeating to herself in her mind: Everything about me now belongs to the teacher…
…
Arriving at the jewelry store, Chen Yuan casually looked around with her.
The clerk warmly introduced the products in the store.
Although his current budget wouldn’t allow for anything particularly expensive, he could still afford a few small items made of gold.
He just overlooked one point; how could a former queen like Cu find these trinkets attractive…
Her previous crown alone was worth far more than these rings and bracelets…
These things didn’t even compare to the surprise she felt while eating barbecue that Chen Yuan took her out for.
“Is there anything you like?” Chen Yuan gently asked.
Cu shook her head honestly, not only did she not like them, but she also did not like the prices.
The barbecue they had together only cost 188 per person, while here everything was at least one or two zeros more…
Even though she had just arrived in this world, she already had a rough judgment about the prices here.
A queen wasn’t an innocent girl; she had been diligent in understanding her people’s needs.
Such items were unnecessary; she would rather let Chen Yuan take her out for more delicious food…
She was no longer a queen, and these luxurious decorations that she used to wear were the most useless things…
Chen Yuan understood and then asked, “Is this bracelet a new model?”
It was called Starry Sky Romance Phase 3; Yu Enqi had hinted to him how much she liked it countless times.
Each time a new model came out, she would say she wanted to go shopping.
“Yes, sir, I think I’ve seen you somewhere before…” the clerk smiled, “Your girlfriend is really beautiful…”
Saying this, he gestured for Chen Yuan to follow him to another area.
“It’s normal to feel familiar; this isn’t my first time here.” Chen Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, glancing back at Cu to keep up.
This time, he overlooked what the clerk said afterward.
However, Cu, who didn’t miss it, felt a small flutter in her heart at this remark, and while she tried to suppress a smile, it still subtly lifted at the corners…
It wasn’t that Chen Yuan ignored her, it was just that so many NPCs had said things like that today; even a dog would get tired of it.
He was too lazy to refute; every time he tried to deny it, it made it seem like he wanted to distance himself from Cu.
Being so deliberate would make anyone a bit unhappy.
Standing straight and tall, he let those rumors flow as they would.
“Sir, this is the Starry Sky Romance Phase 3 bracelet, it also comes with matching earrings and rings… its design concept is %…￥%”
“Stop!”
Chen Yuan made an authoritative gesture to halt, telling him to stop talking.
He had no interest in your design concepts; no need to introduce this.
“Uhm… how about this? Is it nice?” Chen Yuan gently asked Cu.
The three pieces displayed on the table were crafted from gold, platinum, and diamonds that sparkled under the light, which naturally made them look beautiful.
The clerk was quite confident about this set, as it had always sold well with every new release, mainly purchased by boys for their girlfriends.
No young girl would dislike such glittering decorations; after all, people are inherently vain. Wearing these items on the street would always make one feel more confident.
As for the prices, they were set at a reasonably moderate level, targeting young people like Chen Yuan, who had a little money but not much.
This order seemed promising.
“Not good-looking.”
Clerk: ?!
Not sisters?!
Your boyfriend obviously wants to buy this for you, and you’re refusing? What the hell???!
Cu shook her head and replied flatly.
Such items weren’t even as good-looking as her own ice crystal pendant…
Moreover, she glanced at the price, 13145.20…
That could buy… meals of barbecue many times over…
Even in her own kingdom, as a queen, she would never make such an unprofitable transaction.
With that money, she would certainly choose to give it to her people!!
There were still many subjects struggling to fill their bellies!
