Chapter 24: Expedition? Online Shopping for Expedition Goods

  The days passed by in a lively and exciting manner, with Liu Ya watching the beautiful sisters and the four most popular boys on campus going in and out of pairs. It was quite habitual for her. Most importantly, every morning, facing a table full of delicious breakfast food, Liu Ya could turn it into a breakfast party. Watching those foodies surrounding her table, opening their arms and eating with abandon, was truly exhilarating. Of course, Liu Ya's image in front of these foodies became even more impressive.

  "Aya, this, this is not bad, try it, try it." Zi Qing handed a shaomai to Liu Ya's mouth, and Liu Ya slightly frowned, pouted her small mouth, and quickly dodged to the side.

  "Thanks, I'm afraid of getting fat." Liu Ya smiled faintly, thanked Zi Qing's kindness, turned around and stuffed a large piece of butter cake into her mouth.

  "Ah——!!" This scene was seen by Liu Jiawei and Xiao Yu who were standing on the periphery, both of whom involuntarily took a cold breath.

  "Hey, which one has more calories, the shaomai or the butter cake?" Liu Jiawei asked Xiao Yu with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

  "Seems like, butter cake?" Xiao Yu was stunned by Liu Ya's words and his brain seemed to short circuit as he asked Liu Jia Wei with a questioning gaze. In the end, both of them burst out laughing foolishly at the same time.

  "Valentine's Day is almost over, and there's nothing worth remembering at all. It's a bit of a failure." Zi Qing stuffed a large siu mai into her mouth, complaining to Mu Lin Feng beside her.

  "Ah!?" Mu Lin Feng took a big bite of the egg tart, glaring at Zi Qing and said: "Every day accompanying you to go shopping, chatting, watching movies, finding good food, are you still not satisfied?!" After finishing, he lightly pointed at Liu Jia Wei and Xiao Yu, "Look at them, they only accompany us to watch movies, but they don't say anything."

  "Can you be any more like that?!" Zi Qing said, "Others go to the cinema to watch movies, or 3D movies. But you, you set up a 7-inch computer, and it's already so big, but you still fight with me for the channel...!!"

  "Quick, quick!" Mu Lin Feng hastily cut in, having experienced Zi Qing's temper before. To avoid her exposing his secrets again, he decided to let her choose a program instead. "So, what do you say? What kind of program can give our Miss Lei something worth remembering? How about going to watch a 3D movie?"

  "Ugh! They've all seen it, how boring!" Zi Qing gave Mu Lin Feng a glance, then continued to search for her favorite food in the pile, saying in a nonchalant tone, "If you really want to take me out to play, why not take me on an adventure to 'Tiger Wolf Cliff' instead?" Mu Lin Feng slowly closed in on Zi Qing, who felt slightly tense and asked, "W-what are you doing?"

  "Yessss!" Mu Lin Feng's eyes sparkled with green light, "Darling, you and we are on the same page! We're indeed a high EQ couple duo!" Mu Lin Feng pointed to Liu Jia Wei, Xiao Yu, Li Jin Yi, and Xia Tian, saying: "We were just planning to organize an expedition to 'Tiger Wolf Cliff'!"

  "Really? Really?" Lu Xuan, Huang Ying, Liu Fang and Hai Ou asked Mu Lin Feng excitedly.

  "Of course!" Mu Linfeng said, "Always have to leave you guys some 'valuable' memories."

  "Yah, you come too!" Liu Fang looked at Liu Ya with expectation, "We've never all gone out to play together before."

  "I won't go then." Liu Ya continued to calmly bite into her butter cake, "You're all in pairs, I don't want to be the third wheel."

  "That's easy, as long as you're willing, I'll find one for you, guaranteed to be satisfied." Mu Lin Feng said confidently, "What type do you want? I'll search the entire Jianghu for it right away."

  "Hehe, forget it. Liu Ya was amused by Mulin Feng's expression and smiled lightly, 'I still want to live a few more years, I don't like taking risks, so I won't bother with you guys.'"

  "What's wrong!" Lu Xuan looked at Liu Ya with a dissatisfied expression, saying, "We're going on an adventure, not taking risks! Alright, young lady?"

  "Really?" Liu Ya still had a smiling face, calmly said, "In my opinion, going with you guys, the exploration level things can directly upgrade to adventure level. Me? I'd rather not. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of that mountain valley."

  "You're underestimating people too much." Li Jin patted Liu Ya's shoulder lightly, "After all, there are one or two three-generation military families in here, and some wilderness survival skills have been touched upon."

  "Is that so?" Liu Ya swept her gaze across Li Jin Yi and the other four boys, asking, "Besides you, who else?"

  "Hmm." Xiao Yu gave a charming smile, ruffled the bangs on his forehead with his hand, and threw a flirtatious glance at Liu Ya, asking, "Do you think I'm handsome?"

  "Awesome!" Liu Ya's mouth twitched, and she said very seriously: "It's simply a big 'show-off'!" After hearing Liu Ya's words, Xiao Yu's mouth corner twitched. Looking again, Liu Jia Wei and the other classmates were all laughing so hard they fell on their desks.

  "Now, you don't have to worry anymore, right?" Liu Fang asked with a gentle tone, her eyes filled with expectation as she wrapped her arm around Liu Ya's shoulder. "They went on an expedition last year too, so they should still have some experience. I really hope you can come and play with us."

  "Going out to play, how easy it sounds," Liu Ya said, looking at Liu Fang. "This girl seems to be unaware that exploration is a very dangerous activity. This isn't just a casual outing; those explorers who get lost in the wilderness are not uncommon. Moreover, the environment outdoors isn't something these young ladies who grew up with silver spoons in their mouths can handle."

  Liu Ya was deeply concerned, but seeing Liu Fang's expectant gaze, she couldn't bear to refuse.

  "Alright." Liu Ya reluctantly agreed, but quickly added, "However, if something special happens, you must not abandon me!"

  "That's for sure, don't worry." Liu Jia-wei solemnly swore, pointing at Xiao Yu and Li Jin-yi, "If something like that really happens, I, Xiao Yu, and Li Jin-yi will be responsible for your safety."

  Actually, when Liu Ya first came to him saying she wanted to pair up with EQ as a couple, Liu Jia-wei was so happy he couldn't sleep all night. His mind was filled with visions of Liu Ya's gentle smile. He spent the whole night fantasizing about how to spend a meaningful Valentine's Day with Liu Ya.

  But when the next day arrived and Liu Ya assigned Liu Fang and other beauties from their dormitory to be paired up with them, the four boys were stunned. Because they had promised Liu Ya two days ago, the four boys reluctantly agreed to pair up with the girls.

  Xiao Yu and Li Jin-yi were also in the same situation. They originally thought they would be paired up with Liu Ya, but it turned out they were paired up with Hai Ou and Lu Xuan instead. However, they had already promised Liu Ya, so they just went along with it.

  It's just that every time they went out to play, Liu Ya always found excuses to avoid them. So the four popular boys, under the guise of gratitude, not only brought breakfast for their own girlfriends but also prepared all sorts of breakfast treats for Liu Ya every day.

  So when Liu Jia-wei said this, he immediately got Xiao Yu and Li Jin-yi's agreement.

  "Never mind." Liu Ya smiled faintly, thinking about this event. Liu Fang had specifically stated that she wanted to be EQ lovers with Liu Jia Wei. On the one hand, Liu Ya found that her sister seemed to have deeply fallen in love with Liu Jia Wei. On the other hand, Liu Fang was relatively young and should have someone by her side to take care of her. Although Liu Ya also quite liked Jia Wei being able to take care of her, but another consideration was that she was her own younger sister. If it were this kind of situation, Liu Ya decided to give up. "Having Xiao Yu and Li Jin Yi is enough, however, you two must listen to me."

  "It's okay, shouldn't be a problem." Xiao Yu and Li Jin responded in unison.

  "Little princess..." Lu Xuan and Hai Ou disguised themselves with a pitiful look, saying "You can't issue an edict to abandon the two of us."

  "Ah!" Liu Ya looked at the two pale and foolish girls, reached out and patted each of their faces, saying: "How can I bear to abandon you? What if a monster comes, who will we throw out to distract it?"

  "What?! ---" The crowd, faced with such a "toxic" princess, had rows of black lines on their faces. This remark reminded one of the movie "Beauty and the Beast", no, considering the current situation, it should be renamed to "Beauty and the Monster"!

  Of course, since they had made up their minds to go on an adventure, the things needed for the adventure must be fully prepared. They were all in school and couldn't personally go or were too lazy to run around buying the necessary items. So, everyone decided to shop online! The sentimental people were really lazy, and three or two of them lay down over there watching movies, leaving Liu Ya alone to search and purchase one by one according to their list. After nearly two hours, only the adventure suit had not been purchased yet. The boys already had this outfit from last year's adventure, now they needed to buy it for the girls. After almost half an hour, Liu Ya started complaining.

  "This store is really annoying, every time I ask a question, they have to repeat it twice before they understand. Honestly." Liu Ya said discontentedly.

  "What's wrong, little princess?" Jia Wei and Xiao Yu came over with concern.

  "Look at this." Liu Ya showed the chat record to Jia Wei and Xiao Yu with a dissatisfied face. If you don't look, you won't know; if you look, it's hilarious!

  "You ask people like this, they will definitely misunderstand." Jia Wei pointed to one of her chat records and burst out laughing.

  "It's just that this input method has some problems." Liu Ya glared at Jia Wei, who was laughing so hard he was almost crying, "Is it that funny?!"

  "Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha......" Then look down and see Liu Jiawei and Xiao Yu laughing on the desk.

  "What's so funny?!" Liu Fang and Lu Xuan rushed over to take a look, what was it that made these two guys, who were usually so bland, laugh so uncontrollably. But when Liu Fang and Lu Xuan saw the chat record between Liu Ya and the seller, they also burst out laughing. What were they laughing at? The others couldn't help but stare at the group of people laughing hysterically. Hai Ou was relatively calm, reading it out loud instead.

  Ya'er: Shopkeeper, is this the temptation I chose?

  Shopkeeper: Temptation

  Yah: ... Is this one in stock?

  Shopkeeper: I have goods!

  Yah: Is there an auntie?

  Shopkeeper: Dear, our customer service staff is at most 27 years old (cool!).

  Yaer: Do you have large sizes? (Cold tone).

  Shopkeeper: Yes!

  Yaer: Can you survive until payday?

  Shopkeeper: ... (Poor me) I'll try my best!

  Yah: I mean, can it be cash on delivery?

  Shopkeeper: Alright...

  Shopkeeper: Dear! Taobao doesn't allow selling that...

  Yaer: I mean physical stores.

  Shopkeeper: Yes, we have some.

  Yah: When did you get angry?

  Shopkeeper: (sighing) When giving a bad review!

  Ya: I mean shipping (cold sweat)......

  Shopkeeper: Uh!...... It will be sent in a moment.

  Yah: I bought five pieces in one breath, can you keep up with me?

  Shopkeeper: ...eating should still be okay.

  Yaer: (coldly) Discount?

  Shopkeeper: Oh! No.

  Ya'er: Dear, bless me.

  Shopkeeper: (greatly shocked) Ah! I don't have such magical power!

  Yah: Free shipping!

  Shopkeeper: No guarantee!

  Yaer: Can you send a divine child?

  Shopkeeper: Dear, we run a legitimate business, we don't sell children (big sweat).

  Yah: It's all settled...

  Shopkeeper: Uh-huh.

  Ya'er: I want to kiss you.

  Shopkeeper: Ah?! Isn't this a bit...?! (blushing)

  Ya: I said I wanted to ask you something!...

  Shopkeeper: (sorrowfully) Please, I beg of you, stop typing! I want to get angry but I'm afraid of bad reviews. Spare me! I'll help you send out the goods today.

  Haha... haha... Haha... Haha... Everyone burst out laughing.

  Liu Ya's face turned black with anger, "Hmph! You're all so lazy! Someone finally managed to buy it down, and you're still laughing!"

  "Yaer, you bought something online, it's really not easy!" Lu Xuan slowed down her laughter and looked at Liu Ya with admiration.

  "Of course!" Liu Ya looked at the laughing crowd with disdain, "Is it easy for me? Me?"

  "It's really not easy!" Everyone replied in unison, "It's that store owner!"

  Digression

  It's really not easy to run an online store, if you encounter a freak like Little Princess, the shop owner will probably die from anger... Anyway, I wish all the online store owners good luck and success!
