Hearing the shout, Su Yang also turned his head to look, and this glance immediately made his eyes light up.
He saw that this Xiaotang, whom Zhuang Mengli had mentioned, was absolutely stunning. Both her figure and her looks were top-tier.
With just one glance, he had a basic assessment of the girl in front of him: At least 90 points.
Zhuang Mengli had already stepped forward quickly and was chatting with the girl with a bright smile.
Su Yang stood behind them and observed for a few seconds. Although this girl was very beautiful and had an amazing figure, after looking at her, he felt that she wasn't the type he would like.
However, out of curiosity, he still called out in his mind.
—System, scan her.
[Jiang Xiaotang, Age: 22]
[Height: 170cm]
[Weight: 55kg]
[Appearance: 92]
[Figure: 90]
[Relationships: 1, Single]
[Combat Count: 0]
[Traits: Sexy, Cheerful and lively, Chatterbox]
—Just as I guessed.
[Jiang Xiaotang has met the binding requirements. Do you wish to bind?]
—Not right now. I only have one binding slot left, I'll save it.
As he was thinking, Zhuang Mengli, who was a few meters away, pulled Jiang Xiaotang and walked toward Su Yang.
"Su Yang, what are you spacing out for?" Zhuang Mengli called out.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something else."
"You aren't secretly checking out my friend, are you?"
Su Yang gave a speechless smile: "Secretly checking her out? If I'm going to look, I'll look openly and honestly."
"Mengmeng, is this handsome guy your boyfriend?" Jiang Xiaotang, who was beside Zhuang Mengli, asked with a deliberate smile.
Hearing this, Zhuang Mengli shot Jiang Xiaotang a sideways glance: "Don't talk nonsense, he's my friend."
"Friend? Do you think I'd believe that? When have you ever gone shopping alone with another guy?"
Zhuang Mengli was left speechless by Jiang Xiaotang's words, but she still argued: "Oh, stop making blind guesses, he really isn't my boyfriend, just a friend."
"Haha, fine, whatever, I don't believe it anyway."
"Believe what you want."
"Oh right, let me introduce you. His name is Su Yang."
Jiang Xiaotang looked Su Yang up and down, stepped forward, held out her hand, and smiled: "Hello, handsome Su Yang. I'm Mengmeng's bestie, Jiang Xiaotang. This is our first time meeting, but since you're Mengmeng's boy... no, friend, right? Then we're friends from now on too. You can call me Xiaotang."
Su Yang smiled, nodded, and reached out to shake Jiang Xiaotang's hand: "Hello, hello. Xiaotang, right? That's a really nice name."
After the two got to know each other, Zhuang Mengli spoke up: "By the way, Xiaotang, why are you out shopping alone?"
"Didn't you tell me a while ago that you caught some skin disease? You wouldn't let me come see you, so I had to come out shopping by myself. Also, why didn't you tell me when you recovered?" Jiang Xiaotang said with a pout.
Zhuang Mengli grinned: "Ah, I just forgot. Do you have plans later?"
"What plans could I have? I haven't left the house for days. I really couldn't stand staying in today, so I came out for a stroll."
"Then hang out with us. I'll treat you to dinner later."
"Sure! But won't me tagging along be a third wheel for you guys?" Jiang Xiaotang said, looking at Su Yang with a smile.
"What third wheel? I told you he and I are just friends. Stop overthinking it and let's go."
"Where to?"
"I'll put these bags in the car first, then we'll come back and keep shopping."
"Okay."
The three of them walked out of the mall, quickly reaching the nearby parking lot and tossing the pile of bags into the car.
After finishing, they returned to the mall. Zhuang Mengli looked at Su Yang and smiled: "Let's go, up to the second floor."
"Lead the way."
"Up to the second floor? What do you want to buy?" Jiang Xiaotang asked.
"Just gonna check out Hermes."
"Works for me. It's been a while since I bought a bag anyway. Let's go!" Jiang Xiaotang said as she linked arms with Zhuang Mengli, and the two took the lead toward the escalator.
Su Yang followed behind, thinking to himself: She's probably a rich young lady too. Yeah, definitely, otherwise the two of them wouldn't be hanging out together.
The three of them took the escalator up to the second floor. It seemed Zhuang Mengli and Jiang Xiaotang frequented this mall, as they knew exactly which store was on which floor.
A minute later, Su Yang followed the two girls to a massive Hermes storefront.
Zhuang Mengli turned to look at Su Yang and smiled: "You said I could pick whatever I want, right?"
"Whatever you want," Su Yang smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaotang's eyelids twitched as she cried out: "Wow, Mengmeng, and you still say Su Yang isn't your boyfriend!"
"He really isn't."
"Then why are you having him buy you bags?"
"Uh... ah, it's too hard to explain. Originally I was going to buy something for him, but somehow it turned into him buying things for me."
Jiang Xiaotang frowned: "That explanation is worse than saying nothing. Isn't you buying things for him the same thing? Who buys these kinds of luxury goods for each other if they aren't dating?"
Zhuang Mengli didn't know how to explain for a moment. She said anxiously: "Ugh, you talk too much. Stop nagging and hurry up."
After saying that, she grabbed Jiang Xiaotang and quickly walked into the store.
Su Yang gave a helpless smile and followed them in. After entering the store, he simply found a seat in the resting area to wait.
The two girls had disappeared into the store.
As they shopped, Jiang Xiaotang relentlessly pestered her with questions, but Zhuang Mengli absolutely refused to admit anything, mainly because the two of them really weren't boyfriend and girlfriend.
After asking for a long time without getting a clear answer, Jiang Xiaotang stopped pushing. In her heart, she was already convinced that the two were a couple anyway.
Half an hour later, Zhuang Mengli had picked out five bags of completely different styles.
Jiang Xiaotang had also picked out three.
After making their selections, the two followed the sales associate toward the checkout counter. Su Yang happened to be sitting in the resting area not far from the register.
Seeing them approach, he stood up, walked over, and asked: "Done shopping?"
"Mhm," Zhuang Mengli smiled and nodded. "Just these five."
"I thought you would pick out dozens."
"I wanted to, but the limited editions are temporarily out of stock. After looking around, these five were the ones I was most satisfied with. I didn't like the others."
"Alright then, let's pay."
The group arrived at the checkout counter. The sales associate first placed Zhuang Mengli's five bags on the counter to calculate the total.
At this moment, Su Yang looked at Jiang Xiaotang beside him and said: "Xiaotang, let's do yours together too."
"Mine too?" Jiang Xiaotang pointed at herself, stunned.
"Yeah, you guys are besties anyway, so I'll just pay for them all together."
"Uh... I don't know about that. These bags aren't cheap."
Su Yang said nonchalantly: "It's fine. Just consider it a meeting gift from me since this is our first time meeting."
Jiang Xiaotang looked at Zhuang Mengli and said: "Mengmeng, this..."
"Oh, why are you dawdling? Su Yang already offered, just give them to him."
