"They're in the drawer," Li Yan pointed at the checkout counter.

"When are you heading back?" Gu Fei asked Li Yan.

"You don't have to worry about me." Li Yan continued to move forward on the skateboard gruelingly. "I've made plans to eat with Liu Fan in a bit. You two wanna come?"

"I won't go," Jiang Cheng remarked.

"Can't." Gu Fei pulled Li Yan off of the skateboard, "We have midterm exams tomorrow."

"What do the midterm exams have to do with you?" Li Yan asked, "He's a xueba, so it's only natural that he wants to study, but you're the king of blank exam papers..."

"I've never turned in a blank sheet before," Gu Fei corrected him.

"Oh, right, you'd always fill something in." Li Yan nodded his head understandingly.

"Yeah." Gu Fei also nodded.

"Alright then, if you guys can't go, then you can't go." Li Yan picked up his jacket, "I'm heading out."

Jiang Cheng roamed around the shelves twice and picked out some daily necessities and food. Gu Miao followed beside him curiously the entire time, staring intently at his sunglasses.

Finally, he had no choice but to take off the sunglasses. It had been quite a while, so his eyes shouldn't be that red anymore. He placed the sunglasses on Gu Miao's face.

Gu Miao pushed the glasses up – expressionlessly.

"Very cool." Jiang Cheng gave her a thumbs up, "You will definitely be much cooler than your brother when you grow up, and very handsome too."

Gu Miao didn't speak, just turned around, grabbed her skateboard, and walked out.

"Ay!" Gu Fei shouted, "Take off the sunglasses! They'll break if they fall to the ground!"

Gu Miao ignored him and confidently slid out wearing the sunglasses.

"It's fine," Jiang Cheng said. "If they break, they break. I've been wearing them for a long time anyway."

"Geez, you were only willing to buy a bike for 200 RMB just a moment ago." Gu Fei leaned against the checkout counter and shot him a glance, "If the sunglasses actually break, you won't be able to afford another pair."

"If they break, then shouldn't you be the one to compensate?" Jiang Cheng laughed.

"Oh, that's right." Gu Fei thought about it, "Yeah."

Jiang Cheng placed the goods that he had picked out on the counter, "Checkout."

"Then..." Gu Fei was a bit hesitant.

"No," Jiang Cheng said.

Gu Fei laughed. He walked behind the checkout counter and started to scan the barcodes one by one, then put everything in a bag. "It's a total of 123.2 RMB. I'll just take out the small change, it's 120 RMB."

"Okay," Jiang Cheng handed him the money.

With no one watching the shop, Gu Fei had Gu Miao return home by herself and closed up the shop.

"Have I delayed your business?" Jiang Cheng felt a bit embarrassed.

"There's not much business around mealtimes, and the only people that come around at this time are those who realized they've run out of salt or oil while cooking." Gu Fei said nonchalantly as he straddled his bicycle and rode out.
