"Oh right, our phones were soaked in the lake for too long yesterday and broke, so we'll have to go buy new ones later."
"Sure, we have to go out shopping anyway, so we'll buy them later. Just make sure you don't forget."
"Got it."
"Then eat up quickly, we'll head out as soon as we're done."
At a little past ten in the morning, the three of them went out to the courtyard gate, opened the car doors, and got in.
Su Yang searched on his phone. The nearest mall was on Lin'an Avenue in the Jiangyue District, a little over seven kilometers away from Lianwu Lake.
However, the entire Jiangyue District was essentially a suburb, so the malls there were not very large.
Su Yang searched again and found a commercial street located in the Feiyun District. Although it was a bit further away, it had a wider variety of goods and was much larger in scale. Since it was still early, driving a bit further wasn't a problem.
After confirming the location, he turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road, heading away from Lianwu Lake.
The entire Haicheng City was divided into six districts, which could be grouped into three parts.
The northernmost was Jiangyue District, with Feiyun District immediately to its south. The two old heavyweights, Yonghe and Nanlin, were located in the center of the city, while Qinglian Lake New District and Qingshan District lay to the south.
Ranked by GDP, the order was Yonghe, Nanlin, Qinglian Lake, Feiyun, Qingshan, and finally Jiangyue.
Jiangyue District and Qingshan District were basically the two major suburbs of Haicheng.
However, although Qingshan District was commonly referred to as a suburb, it was quite different from Jiangyue District.
Qingshan District boasted beautiful environments, spacious roads, flat terrain, and a sparse population, making it a popular place for many wealthy people to purchase real estate.
Jiangyue District, on the other hand, was relatively poorer. The roads and buildings in the district center were generally older, and its commercial and entertainment options were somewhat lacking.
Therefore, Su Yang wouldn't choose Jiangyue District for shopping or hanging out.
Twenty minutes later, Su Yang drove to a commercial street located on Gaokang Road in Feiyun District.
This area was a comprehensive commercial hub, bringing together shopping malls, large supermarkets, digital appliances, home furnishings, and food courts.
This location was actually the central area of Feiyun District.
Su Yang drove the car into the underground parking lot of the shopping mall and parked.
Afterward, the three of them entered the mall, chatting and laughing. There was a fruit brand phone store on the first floor, so Su Yang took the two girls to buy their phones first. After buying the phones, the three split up; Shen Yixue dragged Pan Ning off to buy clothes.
Su Yang, meanwhile, walked out of the shopping mall and headed toward the home appliance center not far next door.
Before leaving the house today, he had specifically made a list, writing down everything he could think of that needed to be purchased in his memos.
There were speakers, a coffee machine, a washer-dryer combo, a tea bar machine, a massage chair, and a karaoke machine. After all, the main focus of this courtyard was relaxation and entertainment, so singing karaoke was essential.
In addition to these items, there were also a ping pong table and a pool table. He planned to put the ping pong table in the backyard, while the pool table could be placed in the front yard. The front yard was quite large anyway, so there was more than enough space for a pool table.
However, these two items were sports equipment, so the home appliance center definitely wouldn't have them.
But it was still early, and there was no rush. He would take it one step at a time; if all else failed, he could just buy them online.
Su Yang walked into the home appliance center, went up to the second floor, and looked around. Soon, he walked into a B&O speaker franchise store.
Too lazy to browse slowly, he directly selected a set of home audio equipment worth forty thousand, filled out an address, and left it for the merchant to deliver to his door.
Buying the speakers only took fifteen minutes, mainly because the clerk kept explaining and introducing things to him; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken even that long.
After buying the speakers, he walked out of the store and continued browsing, soon arriving at the Siemens store area.
He went in and bought a washer-dryer combo; this thing was still very necessary.
Ten minutes later, Su Yang continued his shopping and arrived at a store specializing in coffee machines, where he spent over ten thousand to buy a semi-automatic coffee machine.
Another ten minutes or so passed when Su Yang's phone rang. He took it out and answered it.
"Hello, Pan Pan."
"Where are you?"
"I'm on the second floor of the home appliance center next to the mall. Are you done buying clothes?"
"No, we still need to get yours. Do you want to pick them out yourself, or should we buy them for you?"
"Just grab two outfits for me. You know my style, so just use your judgment. Oh, and pick up two sets of pajamas while you're at it."
"Got it."
Su Yang nodded and smiled. "Then you guys keep looking, and I'll continue browsing. Oh, right, buy some other daily necessities as you see fit."
"Got it, nag. Bye." The phone hung up, and Su Yang continued his shopping.
Soon, he had purchased all the furniture listed in his memos.
Fortunately, the range hoods, ovens, and other appliances in the kitchen were complete, otherwise he would have had to buy a whole bunch of them. Today's shopping spree was quite satisfying.
It was already 1:30 PM, and the two girls were still in the shopping mall.
"Man, these two are really slow. I've bought so many things, and they still haven't come looking for me."
Su Yang took out his phone and dialed Pan Ning's number.
After a few rings, the call connected. "Hello, what's up?"
"Are you guys still buying clothes?"
"We finished a long time ago. We're looking at other things."
"Alright, then I'll come meet up with you now. It's about time to eat, aren't you guys hungry?"
"We are, especially Yixue. She's been howling about wanting to eat for ages."
"Haha, I'll be right there. What floor are you on?"
"Fourth floor."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Su Yang quickly left the home appliance center and returned to the shopping mall next door.
He took the elevator to the fourth floor. This floor mainly sold various miscellaneous household items.
After searching for a few minutes, Su Yang spotted the two of them walking out of a household retail store.
At this moment, both of them were carrying a large pile of bags of various sizes.
Seeing Su Yang, Shen Yixue ran up with a beaming smile. "You're finally back. Let's go, let's go, let's hurry up and eat, I'm starving to death."
Su Yang smiled and asked, "Alright, what did you guys buy? So much?"
"Mostly clothes, and some miscellaneous little things."
"Are you buying anything else?"
"No more. Help me carry some, it's so heavy." Pan Ning said, handing the pile of bags in her left hand to Su Yang.
Shen Yixue also handed several bags she was carrying to Su Yang.
Originally empty-handed, he was instantly covered in bags.
"Damn, am I your lackey? You even hung two bags around my neck."
"Hehe, just bear with it for a bit. I'll treat you to lunch later," Shen Yixue grinned.
Su Yang shook his head helplessly. "Fine, fine, let's go. Let's go to the parking lot and put the stuff in the car first."
"Okay." The three of them quickly went down to the parking lot and tossed the pile of bags into the trunk.
"Phew, finally some relief," Shen Yixue clapped her hands.
"Where's the stuff you bought?" Pan Ning looked at Su Yang and asked.
"The things I bought are all large items, so of course I had the merchants deliver them to my door."
"That makes sense. Well then, let's go eat."
"Let's go."
Shen Yixue walked between Su Yang and Pan Ning, grabbing one of them with each hand, and quickly ran toward the elevator lobby.
The three of them walked out of the shopping mall and headed toward the food street across the road.
Just as they reached the other side, Pan Ning's phone rang. She pulled her phone out of her Hermes bag, glanced at it, and answered.
Su Yang was standing right beside her, and with a quick glance, he caught sight of the name on the caller ID.
The contact name was very simple, consisting of just one word: Sis.
Su Yang instantly knew who it was.
Pan Ning brought the phone to her ear and said flatly, "Hello, what do you want?"
Meng Qianyu's voice came through from the other end of the line, "Sister, where are you!?"
