Chapter 18

"Could it be that the location of our little noodle shop has bad feng shui? Ever since this shop opened, things have always gone wrong, sigh."

After Yezi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Xu Wenting left, Wang Guifang couldn't help but sigh, looking at the empty little noodle shop.

Indeed, a lot has happened recently. First, the boss died in a car accident, then the shop was vandalized, the boss's wife was hospitalized, and today...

Xiao Bing clapped his hands, and when everyone's attention was focused on him, he said seriously, "Everyone, trust me. From now on, our little noodle shop will become a place of good fortune. As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. The end of bad luck marks the beginning of good luck."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Bingge, that little beauty who comes every day, is she your girlfriend?"

"Not yet..."

Zhang Jing smiled again, "You're going on a date tonight, and you still say no? Oh, she's the school beauty, and you've already won her over so quickly. Bingge, you really have some skills."

Xiao Bing smiled, not refuting it. Thinking about the date tonight, his mood was greatly improved.

Although there was a small interruption just now, customers soon returned in large numbers. Xiao Bing was busy until evening when Yezi suddenly appeared at the shop door, waving at him with a cute look on her face.

Xiao Bing put down his work, greeted the employees, and walked out to the road with Yezi, asking, "Why aren't Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan with you today?"

"Dummy, today is our date, why would they come and be the third wheel?"

Xiao Bing chuckled, "So you admit that we're on a date tonight? I thought only boyfriends and girlfriends go on dates."

Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and realized she had been tricked by his words. She laughed, "You seem so honest and straightforward, but you're actually a sly one... You think you can make me your girlfriend so easily? Dream on."

Hearing Yezi's words, Xiao Bing also laughed. As Zhang Yizhi said, over the years, there have never been any women missing from his life, and many women even wanted to pursue him, but Xiao Bing has never acknowledged any of them as his girlfriend!

There has never been anyone who made him want to actively pursue them!

Yezi is the first!

The only one!

Xiao Bing looked at Yezi quietly and smiled, "Let's go for a candlelit dinner first, then I'll take you to a movie."

"Sure!" Yezi said with a smile, "You arrange it."

Xiao Bing took out two movie tickets and said with a smile, "I'll take you to see the newly released movie 'Running Holiday.'"

Yezi's big eyes widened, her long eyelashes fluttering as she stared at the movie tickets in Xiao Bing's hand.

Xiao Bing smiled, "Don't look at me like that. These are the movie tickets from that guy earlier. I took them. Since he already bought them, and I think he won't be able to go to the cinema after being beaten up today, let's enjoy them."

Yezi smiled bitterly, "Using someone else's tickets to date the girl they like, Bingge, you're really something."

"Ha ha ha, do you want to go with me?"

"Of course, why not." Yezi proudly raised her chin.

Xiao Bing grinned, "So you're willing to be dated by me? Oh~"

Yezi pinched Xiao Bing's arm hard and huffed, "You really are taking advantage of the situation. I just want to watch the movie. Want to date me? No way! Hmph."

Xiao Bing looked at Yezi's cute appearance and smiled. He hailed a taxi and said to the driver, "I'm not a rich second generation, so we can only take a taxi. Do you mind?"

Yezi got in first and said, "Do you think I'm a gold-digger?"

"Of course not." Xiao Bing sat next to Yezi and said to the driver, "Driver, please take us to Wanda Plaza."

"Sure thing, you two are college sweethearts, right? You're on a date?" the driver asked.

"Yes, big brother, you have a good eye," Xiao Bing couldn't help but praise. Yezi pinched his waist, and Xiao Bing winced.

Yezi huffed, "Big brother, is your eye so bad? Look at his age, does he look like a college student?"

The driver glanced back at Xiao Bing and laughed, "This young man does look a bit mature, hahaha!"

Seeing Yezi giggling, Xiao Bing felt helpless.

The car stopped at the bustling square. After the driver collected the fare, he turned to Xiao Bing, who was about to get out, and said, "Brother, I'm just giving you some advice. Since you're dating, you should dress up nicely. I don't mean you have to wear designer clothes, but at least wear something decent. Look at your clothes, they're even dirtier than mine."

Xiao Bing felt embarrassed. With so many things happening recently, he hadn't had time to buy new clothes. Hearing the driver's words, he remembered that these clothes were from a mission in Africa and were indeed a bit worn out. He humbly agreed, thinking that a man who wants to date should pay attention to his appearance.

Wanda Plaza is the most bustling area in Jinsha District, with a wide range of dining, entertainment, and shopping options. Xiao Bing had been busy for the past two days and hadn't had time to explore. Walking down the street, Yezi pointed ahead and said, "The fourth floor of Wanda Plaza is the Wanda Cinema. I'll go with you to buy a new outfit, then we'll go for dinner."

Yezi spoke tactfully, saying "I'll go with you" instead of "I'll buy for you," which showed her consideration for a man's dignity and feelings. From her way of speaking, it was clear that she was a very considerate girl.

On the third floor of Wanda Plaza, there was a men's clothing store. What impressed Xiao Bing even more was that the clothes here were not overly expensive, but the styles were very new.

"Bingge, what do you think of the clothes in that store? I think they suit you."

Yezi was referring to a sea-blue shirt. She pulled Xiao Bing into the store and pointed to the shirt, saying to the female staff, "Please get one of this style, choose a size that fits him, and let him try it on. Oh, wait, get a pair of those pants too, and let him try them on together."

The female staff smiled, "Miss, you have such good taste. This shirt is our most popular style this summer, and many people like it. Your boyfriend will look great in it. Please wait a moment, I'll get a size that fits this gentleman."

Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "Bingge, do you like it?"

Xiao Bing looked at her with a gentle smile and said softly, "As long as you choose it, I like it."

Yezi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes darted away. Xiao Bing saw her rare bashful look and felt his breath stop. He couldn't help but take a step forward, and they were so close that he could even feel the faint fragrance of her breath.

Looking at Yezi's rosy lips, Xiao Bing swallowed hard. Yezi's eyes widened as she watched Xiao Bing's lips slowly approach, closer and closer, almost touching...

"Sir, here are the clothes you chose."

The sales staff, at an inopportune moment, brought the clothes and interrupted.

The two quickly stepped back a bit. Xiao Bing said, "Oh," and took a deep breath. Damn, he had seen many things in his life, but why was he so nervous just now... He didn't even feel this nervous when he spied on the British princess taking a bath.

Xiao Bing was about to take the clothes when Yezi suddenly grabbed him and pulled him out, saying, "I don't feel like it anymore. We won't buy them."

What the... Xiao Bing didn't even understand what was happening and was forcibly pulled out by Yezi. The sales staff was also confused and, when she realized what happened, angrily shouted, "What kind of people are these? They're so young, and if they can't afford the clothes, they should say so. They pick and choose but don't even try them on, and then say they won't buy them. It's infuriating!"

After being pulled out by Yezi, Xiao Bing couldn't help but laugh bitterly, "My dear, why do you act so impulsively? The sales staff must be unhappy."

"Who cares if she's happy or not?" Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and smiled, "Do you like her?"

"How could I?" Xiao Bing said, laughing and crying, "I didn't even see what she looks like, how could I like her?"

"Then that's settled. There are so many stores in the mall, I'll take you to another one to choose."

Yezi started bouncing and walking ahead, looking happy. Xiao Bing smiled and shook his head, finding it harder and harder to understand this girl.

After visiting five or six stores, they finally found a set of clothes they liked. When Xiao Bing came out of the fitting room, Yezi's eyes lit up, and even the sales staff was impressed.

They say a man is judged by his clothes, and a horse by its saddle. Xiao Bing was already very handsome and masculine, but the old, worn-out clothes he was wearing before didn't show it much. Now, in a new outfit, combined with his unique military aura, he exuded an irresistible masculine charm.

His face, with its sharp features, and his eyes, which occasionally revealed a hint of arrogance and confidence, made him look both upright and a bit rebellious.

The sales staff sincerely praised, "Sir, you look so handsome in this outfit."

Yezi was initially stunned, but when the sales staff's voice brought her back, she smiled, "Alright, we'll take this one."
