Chapter 4: Buying a Luxury Car, Starting a Livestream, and Encountering the Handsome Man Again!

The handsome man, however, remained silent. After ten seconds or so, he calmly withdrew his gaze and returned his attention to the counter in front of him.

The sales clerk assisting Xia Huajiao was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting her to make a decision so quickly. Then, the clerk’s eyes lit up, her polite, practiced smile transforming into something genuinely radiant. "Certainly! Please wait a moment; I’ll go get it for you right away."

A small sense of triumph flickered in Xia Huajiao’s heart, and the corners of her mouth curled upward.

Just then, the phone of the handsome man in the sky-blue shirt rang. He answered it, murmured a greeting, and listened for a moment before nodding. "Fine, I’ll go order it for you in a bit. Hopefully, they have it in stock. You’re sure you need it today? Eleven o'clock? All right, I’ll arrange to meet her then."

Xia Huajiao’s gaze sharpened in surprise as she turned to look at him. That magnetic, resonant voice sounded just like her new landlord from last night! But it was more expressive, and perhaps even more pleasant to listen to. The first part of his conversation had been soft and melodious, but the final sentence had carried a hint of reluctance.

She shook off the thought, mocking herself silently. "My hearing must be getting worse. A young, handsome man like him? How could he possibly be interested in buying an old house like Aunt Chu’s?" It must have been a coincidence.

Turning back to the MateBook laptop display on another counter, she fiddled with it for a moment. Satisfied with its processing speed, she said to the clerk, "Is there any stock left for this MateBook X Pro? I’d like to buy one." She was unaware that the man in the sky-blue shirt had glanced at her again, his expression shifting from confusion to a flicker of realization.

The clerk’s eyes sparkled once more, and she replied happily, "Yes, we do! Please, just a moment."

At that moment, the handsome man in the dark brown shirt spoke up at a third counter: "Excuse me, miss, get me one of these sports watches for 8,000 yuan, and wrap it up."

The clerk was delighted, but turned to Xia Huajiao with an apologetic look. "Oh, miss, would you mind waiting a moment? Let me help this gentleman with his watch first!"

Since the computer needed to be prepped, Xia Huajiao nodded understandingly. "Of course!"

The man in the dark brown shirt gave her a look of appreciation, his eyes clearly brightening as he gave her a thorough once-over. Today, Xia Huajiao was wearing a modest blouse, tight cropped jeans, and a pair of affordable mid-heeled leather pumps. She looked radiant—her posture was elegant, her waist slender, and her legs long and straight.

The man in the dark brown shirt strolled over toward her with a light step. "Hey, beauty, out early to buy a computer and a phone?" His voice, while not as resonant as his companion's, was cheerful and clear.

Xia Huajiao smiled politely. "Yes, my old one has been acting up for a few years, so I thought it was time for an upgrade."

The man in the dark brown shirt asked casually, "Which phone are you getting?"

When she told him, he raised his thick eyebrows in surprise. "You’re getting that one too?"

Xia Huajiao nodded. "If you’re going to buy, you might as well buy the best!"

A spark of interest appeared in the man’s eyes. "You look a bit familiar. I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before..."

Xia Huajiao offered a light smile. "There are so many people in this world who look alike. Perhaps you’re thinking of someone else."

Just then, the clerk returned with the watch for the man in the dark brown shirt. Xia Huajiao stepped away to attend to her new phone. The man watched her with a playful look, smiled to himself, and turned his attention back to his watch. Half an hour later, he and his companion left the store with their new purchases.

Xia Huajiao waited another half-hour, watching the donations from her livestream reach over 4,000 yuan before paying the 30,000 yuan for her items. With her new laptop and phone packed away, she stepped out of the store.

The sun was out, and it was scorching. The harsh rays made her skin itch with discomfort. She decided that for her next stop, she would skip buying clothes and go straight for a car.

She quickly hailed a ride-share, spent about thirty yuan, and arrived at the BMW dealership. After paying the driver, she moved twice as fast, using her new phone to log into her livestream. "Babies! After surviving an electric shock last night, my mind is clear and my spirit is high. Today is all about living large and spending with joy!"

As she livestreamed, she walked confidently into the showroom. "Come, everyone, I’ve arrived at the famous BMW showroom. Take a look—these are the latest, most beautiful cars..."

As she spun around to give the viewers a 360-degree view, she was surprised to see the two handsome men from the phone shop walking through the entrance.

Seeing her wide, almond-shaped eyes in shock, the man in the dark brown shirt smiled and greeted her in surprise. "Hey, beauty, what a coincidence! Meeting again? Are you doing a livestream here?"

Xia Huajiao glanced at the composed man in the sky-blue shirt and smiled brightly. "I am! I’m sharing the joy of spending money!"

Watching the two men walk toward a new vehicle, she looked at her phone screen and froze. Her typically quiet stream was suddenly flooded with comments.

"So handsome!!"
"Wild hunk spotted!"
"Sister Jiao, go for it! Forget the luxury cars, we want to see the handsome guys!"

The donation counter, which had just been cleared, began to climb again.

*Heh...*

After a moment of excitement, Xia Huajiao felt a mix of temptation and hesitation. "Um, I don't actually know these two gentlemen..."

In the chat, a royal-tier member named "Meilili" quickly gifted a yacht. A message followed: [Jiao Jiao, be a bit more thick-skinned! Go ask that handsome guy in the sky-blue shirt if he’s here for business or to buy a car. If he answers you himself, I’ll gift you another ten yachts!]

Xia Huajiao gasped. A yacht cost 5,000 yuan; ten of them would be 50,000! With her 20/80 revenue split, that would be 10,000 yuan for her! Even though she didn't lack money anymore, why not earn while chatting with handsome guys? Besides, she wasn't bad-looking—surely the guy wouldn't ignore her, right?

Another royal member, "Taomeijia," chimed in: [That's right, Jiao Jiao, go ask! If he answers, I'll gift ten yachts too!]

The other viewers joined in. Some men in the chat sounded sour: [You guys are crazy! Gifting yachts just to see a handsome guy? You can see him, but you can't touch him—what's the point?]

The point? It was plenty of fun! After all, the man was genuinely stunning.

Xia Huajiao shifted her gaze to see the two men standing in front of a new BMW 740Li, priced at one million yuan. She clenched her fist and grinned. "Fine! For all of you, Sister Jiao will go for it!"

Clutching her phone, she took a bold step forward, stopping two paces away from them, and said loudly, "Excuse me, gentlemen, sorry to bother you!"

The man in the sky-blue shirt didn't move, still focused on the car. The man in the dark brown shirt, however, looked at her in surprise, his peach-blossom eyes filled with scrutiny.

Xia Huajiao quickly offered her most sincere, charming smile. "Earlier, some viewers in my livestream saw you two and thought you looked very dashing—like successful businessmen. They’re very curious: are you here to scout the market, or to buy a new car?"

She then politely gestured toward the man in the sky-blue shirt, putting her most engaging smile on display. "They were hoping to hear the answer from this handsome gentleman himself."
