Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Long Lines? Not When You Have Money!



Wu Wei stepped forward and leaned in to take a careful look at her face: "I don't see that, your skin looks great."

Sun Yi hadn't expected Wu Wei to suddenly lean in, and seeing his face so close, her heart fluttered in panic.

"I'm wearing makeup today, of course you can't tell."

Sun Yi quickly turned her head away, "Let's go have dinner first, I've made a reservation at a restaurant nearby."

"Sounds good."

Wu Wei smiled: "I'm feeling a bit hungry too."

A moment later, the two arrived at a nearby Shandong cuisine restaurant.

Upon entering, Sun Yi went straight to the front desk and said to the waiter, "Hello, I've bought a group deal on Meituan."

"You bought a group deal?"

Wu Wei hurriedly came forward, "Didn't we agree that I would treat you?"

"You're visiting me, I have to show the hospitality of a host. Besides, you've already treated me to milk tea."

Sun Yi showed the group voucher to Wu Wei, "This Shandong restaurant is really good, authentic and not expensive. Our dorm used to come here a lot for group meals."

Wu Wei listened, somewhat helpless.

How come he couldn't seem to spend any money when he wanted to?

But this was also good. If she treated him first, he could treat her next time, and she would not be able to refuse.

Wu Wei took a look, Sun Yi had purchased a deal for two, the original price was 258, the group-buy price was 178.

The price was not expensive, but definitely not cheap either.

After scanning the group-buy code, they found a seat by the window and sat down.

Soon, the dishes arrived.

Sweet and sour Yellow River carp, casserole pork backbone stew, cucumber in a rough coat, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, plus two bowls of old Jicheng sweet foam, all very authentic Jicheng dishes.

They chatted while eating.

Talking about their recent lives, and then about the fun times they had when they were desk mates in school.

Gradually, the atmosphere got better and better.

The initial reserve disappeared without notice, and they became more and more natural with each other.

After dinner, Sun Yi took Wu Wei to the most famous attraction in Jicheng—the Baotu Spring.

"Baotu Spring actually has more than just the springs; there are many attractions here, including more than a dozen of the 72 famous springs, and the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall..."

They entered from the south gate, visiting the surrounding attractions as they made their way towards Baotu Spring.

All along the way, Sun Yi's eyes sparkled with joy as she intermittently shared various facts about Baotu Spring with him.

They weren't rushing from one spot to another like special forces, but leisurely strolled for almost an hour before finally arriving at Baotu Spring.

Watching the triple streams shoot up high from the water's surface was quite a marvelous feeling.

They admired the spring for a while under the covered walkway.

They each took several photos and short videos.

At that moment, Wu Wei noticed that on the bridge to their right, quite a few people were holding ice creams, taking photos with Baotu Spring and the Guanlan Pavilion in the background.

The temperature in Jicheng was not too high today, only 28 degrees.

However, it was quite hot under the noon sun, and after an entire round of sightseeing, they had both worked up some light sweat on their foreheads.

Wu Wei turned to Sun Yi and said, "It's a bit hot, let's go buy some ice cream as well."

Sun Yi, however, shook her head, "Nevermind, that's Baotu Spring's creative ice cream, it's very expensive."

Expensive? That's even better!

"Plus, it will probably take a long time to queue, it's not worth it for an ice cream," added Sun Yi.

Wu Wei gave a faint smile.

A queue?

It didn't exist for him!

It was time to show the power of money!

"Let's just go take a look,"

Wu Wei said, "Besides, it seems like the view of Baotu Spring is even better from there."

When they arrived at the ice cream selling spot, there was indeed a long line at the entrance, stretching so far back they couldn't see the end.

"There are too many people. Let's forget it and buy ice cream when we leave."

As soon as Sun Yi spoke, she turned to leave.

"No problem, you rest here for a while, I'll be right back," said Wu Wei.

He immediately walked to the front of the line, addressing the guy at the very front, "Bro, can I discuss something with you?"

The guy looked at him warily, "What's up, you trying to cut in line?"

"Not cutting, I want to pay for your spot."

"Pay for my spot?"

The guy frowned upon hearing this, annoyed, "I've been in line for half an hour, finally got to the front, not selling!"

Wu Wei held out five fingers: "I'll give you five hundred."

"Five hundred?"

The boy was instantly stunned, looking at Wu Wei with a face full of surprise, "Are you for real?"

"Of course, I am."

Wu Wei said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, show me the payment QR code, and I'll transfer the money right now."

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone around couldn't help but be shocked.

This guy is actually willing to spend 500 yuan just to buy a spot in line!

That's way too extravagant!

At that moment, a girl standing behind the boy said loudly, "Handsome guy, if he doesn't want to, you can buy my spot!"

As she said it, she presented her WeChat payment code to Wu Wei.

"Who said I don't want to!"

The boy, hearing this, immediately became anxious, shot the girl a glare, then quickly displayed his own payment code, smiling at Wu Wei, "Brother, scan it, please!"

Without another word, Wu Wei scanned the code and transferred 500 yuan.

The girl behind him sighed in disappointment upon seeing this.

After receiving the money, the boy was grinning so widely he could hardly close his mouth, and he immediately gave up his spot to Wu Wei.

Half an hour in line, a clean profit of 500 yuan!

Money so easily earned!

Today is really a good day!

Those around were even more astonished.

Man, he really made the payment!

This must be the son of a tycoon!

Money sure brings caprice!

Wu Wei, standing at the very front of the line, couldn't help but feel in his heart that having money was truly damn good!

While others were still painstakingly queuing up, he could directly make the purchase upon arriving.

The experience of playing around was far better!

Arriving at the counter, Wu Wei looked at the price and couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

A price of 20 yuan would have been considered expensive in the past, but now he found it too cheap.

Can it not stab me in the back once, give me a surprise?

After buying the ice cream, Wu Wei saw Sun Yi standing beside the Laihe Bridge, watching the fountain, and took steps toward her.

"Ta-da-da-da!"

Wu Wei approached Sun Yi from behind, tapped her shoulder lightly, then shook the ice cream in his hand.

"Ah? How did you manage to buy it?!"

Sun Yi turned her head in surprise, her beautiful eyes wide, "You didn't pay someone else to buy it for you, did you?"

"Something like that."

Wu Wei smiled, "I bought the spot from the person at the front of the line."

"Ah?"

Sun Yi never expected that and immediately widened her eyes, "That must have cost a lot of money!"

"Don't worry about that."

Wu Wei told Sun Yi, "Having fun is what matters most when you're out!"

Sun Yi felt quite distressed, "But spending so much just for two ice creams, that's just not worth it."

"As long as you like it, then it's worth it!"

Wu Wei said as he handed an ice cream to Sun Yi, "Do you want the strawberry flavor? I remember you used to like strawberry-flavored stuff."

Sun Yi hesitated for a moment but still took the ice cream, somewhat astonished, "You remember that?"

Wu Wei looked into Sun Yi's eyes, earnest and determined, "Of course, I remember everything about you!"

Listening to Wu Wei's somewhat ambiguous words, Sun Yi couldn't help feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

She took a closer look at Wu Wei's expression, then quietly lowered her head and began to unwrap the ice cream.

"This ice cream looks so nice!"

As Sun Yi admired the beautifully designed patterns of Guanlan Pavilion and the Triple Water Streams on the cultural ice cream wrapper, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Let's go take pictures and check-in!"

Sun Yi, looking up at Wu Wei, said excitedly.

"Sure!"

Seeing Sun Yi so happy, Wu Wei felt very joyful as well.

The two of them went to the middle of the Laihe Bridge together.

Watching Sun Yi smiling and holding the cultural ice cream with Guanlan Pavilion and the Triple Water Streams as a backdrop for photos felt heartwarming.

At that moment, Wu Wei seemed to see the sunny, sweet and adorable girl from their school days.

While Sun Yi was taking photos, Wu Wei also opened his camera, capturing a beautiful profile shot of her.

Right then, Sun Yi truly looked gorgeous!

A real-life, charming smile blooming like a flower!
