Hearing the gushing water from the bathroom, if it were when he was a teenager full of vigor, most people would surely feel their hearts race, but Chen Kai wouldn't.
After all, this was his second life.
His mindset and way of thinking were definitely not comparable to those of boys his age.
He wouldn't have any other thoughts just because Qin Xiaoyu was taking a shower inside.
Chen Kai planned to go to a nearby Shopping mall to buy clothes for Qin Xiaoyu. The family was holding a celebration banquet for him tonight, and he definitely had to bring Qin Xiaoyu along.
If Qin Xiaoyu wore his clothes when they went, what would that look like?
It would be hard to explain later.
Qin Xiaoyu's personality, of course, wouldn't care about these things, but Chen Kai still had to consider Qin Xiaoyu's reputation.
Chen Kai stood outside the bathroom and told Qin Xiaoyu that he was going out for a bit and would be back soon.
"Oh, okay, Old Chen, you go ahead, but come back early!" Qin Xiaoyu said while showering inside, "After all, Old Chen, you know that your brother here is quite timid, and I'm new to this place, so go and come back quickly! I'll give you 10 minutes to return."
After Chen Kai left, he went directly to a nearby Shopping mall and picked out a set of clothes for Qin Xiaoyu: a short-sleeved top, pants, and shoes. It cost about seven or eight hundred yuan, which wasn't very expensive.
After all, Chen Kai had a lot of money in his card now.
At least for an 18-year-old who had just graduated.
Having 100,000 yuan in his card was already quite affluent.
After buying the clothes, on his way home, Chen Kai received a call from his mother. There was nothing else, just checking if he had arrived home yet, as it was raining outside.
"Mom, I just got home! I didn't get a chance to tell you I was safe, sorry."
As soon as Chen Kai finished speaking, his mother on the other end of the phone said, "It's okay, son, it's good that you're home. Mom feels relieved once you're home and won't worry about you anymore! Also, it's getting late now, so go wash up, change into some clean clothes, and at 8 PM, go to Shuntian Hotel, room 301 upstairs. Tonight, our whole family is holding a celebration banquet for you there!"
"Okay!" Chen Kai agreed. As his mother was about to hang up.
Chen Kai suddenly said, "Don't hang up yet."
"What's wrong, son? Is there anything else?"
His mother asked, puzzled, from the other end of the phone.
"Mom, it's like this, there's something I need to tell you! I have a classmate, we're very close at school. Isn't today graduation day? She didn't get a train ticket, so she might need to stay at our house tonight. I just wanted to let you know."
His mother replied, "A male classmate, right? Alright, no problem! But we only have two bedrooms, so your classmate will have to share a room with you. Ask him if he minds."
"Oh, and bring your classmate over for dinner tonight."
"Mom, a customer just came into the shop, so I can't talk now. See you tonight! Son."
After his mother finished speaking, she hung up the phone without asking for details. She absolutely did not expect that the classmate Chen Kai just mentioned on the phone was actually a girl!
Otherwise, with his mother's personality, she would have definitely blown up.
Although Chen Kai's mother had a strong personality, she was also quite interesting. In some ways, her personality was similar to Qin Xiaoyu's; she was very easygoing with people.
After Chen Kai hung up the phone, he went straight home. Within a few minutes, he was back in the Living room, just as Qin Xiaoyu finished her shower and came out of the bathroom.
She was wiping her hair with a towel.
She sat on the sofa in the Living room.
"Old Chen, you're back?" Qin Xiaoyu's gaze immediately fell on the shopping bag in Chen Kai's hand. "Old Chen, what did you go out for just now? What's that you're carrying? Food? Quick, bring it over, let me try a couple of bites, I'm starving."
Qin Xiaoyu was a little surprised.
"Old Chen, why are there girl's clothes in here?"
"Did you buy them for me?"
Qin Xiaoyu had a surprised expression.
She didn't expect Old Chen to be so thoughtful! He just said he disliked her wearing his clothes, but now, not only did he lend her clothes, he even bought her a new set!
"Wuwuwu, Old Chen, you truly are my best brother."
"You're really good to me."
"These clothes must have cost a lot, right? I'll transfer the money to you later."
Chen Kai waved his hand and casually said, "No need, it didn't cost much. I bought them on the street, just a few tens of yuan."
The reason he deliberately understated the price was mainly because he understood Qin Xiaoyu's personality too well.
If Qin Xiaoyu knew that the clothes he bought her cost several hundred yuan, she would definitely find an opportunity to buy him something in return.
Reborn Chen Kai only wanted to dote on Qin Xiaoyu and not repeat the mistakes of his previous life.
Only a few tens of yuan? Qin Xiaoyu looked at the quality of the clothes, pants, and shoes. It didn't seem like it; they should cost at least a few hundred yuan.
Are you sure it only cost a few tens of yuan? It doesn't look like it!
"But it doesn't matter, I don't mind even if it's only a few tens of yuan!" Qin Xiaoyu's face was very happy. Then she went into the bathroom to change her clothes. After she came out, she said, "Old Chen, take a look, how do I look in them? Don't I look pretty good?"
Chen Kai commented, "The clothes look very nice."
"Old Chen."
"What do you mean 'the clothes look very nice'? I'm such a beautiful, stunning, and gorgeous girl, and your focus is on the clothes?"
"Old Chen, is it really that hard for you to admit I'm pretty?" Qin Xiaoyu said self-admiringly.
Qin Xiaoyu pouted her lips, then said nothing and tugged at Chen Kai's clothes.
As if saying, 'Old Chen, put your hand on your heart, were you being honest just now? I'm clearly so beautiful, why do you deliberately not admit it and only praise the clothes? Are you trying to hide something?'
"Qin Xiaoyu, what I meant just now was that while the clothes look good, it mainly depends on who wears them," Chen Kai said.
Qin Xiaoyu burst into laughter, "Oh, that's more like it, Old Chen, you really know your stuff! Don't praise me so much, I'll really get arrogant!"
"But, Old Chen, your best and greatest quality is that you speak the plain truth."
Qin Xiaoyu thought, it's not easy to be praised as beautiful by Old Chen!
"Beep, beep, Qin Xiaoyu has emotional fluctuations. Host gains one chance to modify investment success rate."
"Reward explanation: For any investment made by the host, regardless of its original success rate, it can be modified to a one hundred percent success rate."
Wow, this reward is good.
Chen Kai smiled with satisfaction.
He planned to find a suitable project next and invest all the money in his card, going all in.
Anyway, with a one hundred percent investment success rate, he would definitely make a profit, and he could double, or even multiply, his current assets by N times.
Qin Xiaoyu sat next to Chen Kai at this moment.
Then she clung to him like a burr.
"Old Chen, quickly tell me, in your eyes, how beautiful am I exactly? I want to hear the details, tell me the details."
Before Chen Kai could say anything, the next second, Qin Xiaoyu looked at him thoughtfully, then spoke, suddenly saying, "Old Chen, I feel like you like me."
