Chapter 151
Outside the car window, there was a big curve, and the woods on both sides were lush. At this moment, Xiao Qi was sitting on Wei Cheng's lap... That's right, the four of them did not grab the seats, there were only two seats available, Mi'er and Gu Yunshu were squeezing together, and she was with Wei Cheng.
Enhua University was very high-end, but the bus from Luoxi Town was not high-end at all. It was not a big bus, but a minibus. The car shook and there were not many seats. There were also many people standing on the bus.
The four little girls sat close to each other.
Wei Cheng had a larger frame and let Xiao Qi sit on her lap. Xiao Qi actually felt that standing was fine too, but later more and more people got on the bus, probably because it was the weekend and there were too many students going into the city, so the standing spots were very crowded, so she had to sit on Wei Cheng's lap.
Xiao Qi thought that next time, she should get her driver's license earlier, it would be better if she could drive herself.
It was probably because she saw Zhang Juan from the same village driving, and she felt like she really wanted to drive too.
Human nature, still like comparing with people around.
Xiao Qi could not escape the common failing, especially since she was only 17 years old. Deep down in her heart she was very competitive.
The mountains on both sides were a little familiar yet strange. The last time Xiao Qi took the car with the BMW car salesman, she deliberately looked at the roadside, and was a little afraid of being taken the wrong way, but after driving a while, she did not recognize the scenery, it seemed to be another road.
All the way into the city, they arrived at the bus station. The four little girls stuck close together.
Because they had heard from the school staff earlier that the bus station in Meng City was very chaotic, there were quite a lot of pickpockets, who specifically targeted students like them. It seemed that every student had to experience losing a cell phone or wallet before being considered mature.
Xiao Qi had her little bamboo bag in front of her, and the others also carried their backpacks in front.
Among the four, Gu Yunshu was not completely innocent, but she was not very sociable, her usual personality was rather introverted. Xiao Qi and Wei Cheng belonged to the inexperienced type. When they reached the entrance of the bus station, the towering high-rise buildings and crowds across the street were still quite shocking. At this time, the bold little country girl Chen Mier was the bravest.
Without any hesitation, she had done her research on where to go shopping before they came. She was now pulling a passerby asking for directions.
"Sister, excuse me, how do I get to Xinmen Street?"
The girl who was called sister also looked like a young woman. She was surprised to be called sister, but seeing that the one asking for directions was a few little girls, who were clearly students, and also looked quite pretty, she did not get upset.
"Go straight along this road in front, turn left at the street in front of the City God Temple." Chen Mier thanked her and pulled Xiao Qi to cross the road.
Wei Cheng pulled Gu Yunshu and followed behind.
Xiao Qi was fine. She had a daily walking routine, so she was not bothered by the unusually long street, and walked patiently.
But Gu Yunshu could not walk any further. Chen Mier also kept checking the map on her phone, worried that they had gone the wrong way.
They went into a McDonald's by the roadside to rest.
Chen Mier went to buy four McFlurrys, one for each person.
Xiao Qi really liked the Oreo flavor, it was especially sweet and satisfying. Wei Cheng also ate hers bite by bite. Usually the hearty eater Chen Mier ate the most daintily, worried that her lipstick would be gone. In fact, she had been licking her lips along the way, and her lipstick had long faded.
After the girls finished their ice cream, they went out again, thinking it would be endlessly far, but unexpectedly after passing a high-rise building, the street turned and they had arrived.
It turned out they had been right in front of it, just did not see it, otherwise they could have walked over.
After passing the City God Temple and turning left, they quickly arrived at Xinmen Street.
Xinmen Street was a pedestrian street. There were no motor vehicles in the middle of the road, but there were some small electric vehicles and bicycles. Both sides of the street had food stalls, clothes stalls, watch stalls, and many things, dazzling.
And it was cheap too.
It was really cheap. Xiao Qi saw the clothes hung neatly on the wall, labeled 79 yuan for a set, even cheaper than what she bought in Lüshan City. They looked quite fashionable too.
There was also a wide variety of snacks, all kinds of milk tea, chilled bamboo shoots, soy sauce mango, grilled lobster...
For each item, Chen Mier was drooling.
Having a foodie roommate resulted in them trying a little bit of almost everything.
For the chilled bamboo shoots, there were little sea creatures inside. Xiao Qi had some trouble accepting that, although in their Gumu Village there was a tradition of eating insects, she was still very afraid of bugs.
As for the grilled lobster, no wonder it was so cheap, 20 yuan each, it was just the shell, almost no meat, felt like eating a nest of garlic paste.
Xiao Qi thought the soy sauce mango was a dark cuisine, but it turned out to be surprisingly tasty, and very affordable too, 5 yuan a serving, enough for several bites for each dorm mate. It was sour, salty, and had a slightly sweet aftertaste.
After eating up a storm, they had basically passed lunchtime.
Of course Xiao Qi gave herself extra portions, eating another glutinous rice ball and a flatbread.
In the end, Chen Mier felt the Hongze Chicken Feet tasted the best. She bought a big bag and nibbled on them all the way.
The taste was really great. Even the reserved Gu Yunshu was holding one and nibbling on it. With a chicken foot each, they ate happily and contentedly.
In between, Wei Cheng would also rush to pay. They were not expensive items, but it made her feel better.
With oily hands, the group did not go into the clothes stores. They went to small goods stores to look at desk lamps and such. Chen Mier was very familiar with these. Although her hometown was just a small town, it was basically Taobao Town, Taobao Village, so her family business was able to thrive. There were not only textile factories, but also all kinds of small commodity manufacturing factories, a wide variety.
Xiao Qi picked a desk lamp suitable for reading and studying, already the most expensive in the store at 168 yuan. She also bought an emergency lamp.
These were a bit heavy. After everyone had picked something, they left them in the store first and continued browsing, planning to grab them when leaving.
After finishing the chicken feet, the girls finally rushed into the clothes stores.
The wealthy lady Gu Yunshu rarely went out shopping like this herself. Every time she went with her mother to various boutiques and bought clothes, it was boring. She did not expect that going out with her roommates, although not spending much money, was very fun.
And she looked especially good today. In these inexpensive clothing stores, no matter what clothes she tried on, looking in the mirror, she felt that everything looked good on her, resulting in a surge of desire to shop.
Chen Mier was quite knowledgeable about clothes. She not only picked styles, but also felt the fabrics, whether they were breathable or not, whether the workmanship was good or bad. For clothes at the same tens or hundreds of yuan price range, she could pick out the first, second and third tier.
With her as an advisor, Xiao Qi and Wei Cheng each bought two sets of clothes.
Gu Yunshu and Chen Mier bought even more, very extravagant, almost 4-5 sets each.
Gu Yunshu probably felt these clothes were so cheap that she bought blindly.
Chen Mier simply loved dressing up, buying and buying.
The group returned fully loaded, and went back to the lamp shop.
Everyone was already carrying a lot of stuff. Seeing the lamp shop owner had packed everyone's desk lamps and emergency lamps into a box, Wei Cheng said, "Let me carry it, I'm stronger."
Among the four dorm mates, Wei Cheng was the tallest and most sturdy looking, seeming quite strong.
But when she squatted down, she did not manage to pick up the box in one go, mainly because the emergency lamps were too heavy, and the bases of the desk lamps were also quite heavy.
Her face instantly turned red.
Xiao Qi handed her stuff to Wei Cheng and said, "Help me carry my things, I'll take this box."
Since it was hard to walk carrying it, Xiao Qi asked the owner to tie a handle with rope, then lightly lifted the big box before the eyes of everyone.
With an unchanged expression.
Seeing her roommates dumbfounded, Xiao Qi said, "Let's go, or we'll hit rush hour again for the shuttle bus and have to line up."
