Chapter 46: Miss, You Are Very Lucky

Su Ruan took a deep breath, enjoying the cool, fresh air around her. From where she stood, Su Ruan could hear the sounds of the birds chirping happily.

She looked at the scenery in front of her and thought of how relaxing it was to stay in this town. It has only been a day but she was starting to love this town more and more.

"Sister Ruan, let's go."

Hearing her voice, Su Ruan turned to her cousin and halted. She stared at the girl beside her and couldn't help but think that there was something different about her.

"Yu Xi, you've grown taller."

Ma Yu Xi rolled her eyes. "Sister Ruan, I'm wearing a high heel."

Su Ruan shifted her gaze and finally noticed that the sneakers that Ma Yu Xi wore a while ago were now switched into a pair of high heels.

"I didn't wear them just now because I was driving," Ma Yu Xi explained. She grabbed Su Ruan's arms and giggled happily. "Come on, I'll take you around this place."

Su Ruan raised her brow. "You mean, you're going to take me to that bakery?"

"Sister Ruan, don't tease me. Grandma was joking. Don't listen to her words." Ma Yu Xi pouted. "I only wanted you to try their chocolate rolls. They're delicious."

"Alright." Su Ruan laughed. "I believe you."

The two of them walked along the sidewalk beside the lake water and Ma Yu Xi continued to show her around the place.

It was a small town but there were all kinds of shops around the place. Su Ruan looked at the shop lot lining along the street and finally understood what did her grandpa meant by this town belonged to the Long family.

The signboard already told her that the shops belonged to their family. From the convenience store to the workshop… each and every one of them had the name 'Long' on the signboard.

Su Ruan continued to look around the town and suddenly felt as if she was being watched.

Her steps halted. Su Ruan turned to scan her surroundings but could not find anything suspicious.

The people around her continued to go on their way. No one was looking at her or acting suspiciously. The frown on her face deepened. Su Ruan could not help but feel as if this feeling was very familiar…

"Sister Ruan, what's wrong?" Noticing that her cousin had suddenly stopped, Ma Yu Xi began to worry.

"Nothing." Su Ruan flashed a smile, deciding to discard that feeling.

It was the first time she came and visit this town. Perhaps the local here was curious to see her, an outsider walking around and taking a few glances at her.

She shouldn't be thinking too much.

Ma Yu Xi stared at her cousin's expression for a few seconds longer. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, Ma Yu Xi began to relax.

After listening to her grandpa about how her cousin's traumatized experience, Ma Yu Xi was a little worried that Su Ruan would suddenly recall that awful memory and started to behave strangely.

"That's right… didn't you tell me that you're going to take me to the shop to repair my phone?" Su Ruan said.

Yesterday, she fell into the water along with her phone. Su Ruan waited for the whole night and wait for her phone to dry. This morning, she tried to switch it on but it was not working.

Since they were visiting the town center, Su Ruan was planning to look if they could repair her phone. Or else, she might need to buy a new phone.

She did not care much about her phone but the most important thing is her sim card. As long as it was still working, she would be very thankful.

Or else, they might need to head to the nearest city to get a replacement card.

Ma Yu Xi slapped herself on her forehead. "That's right. I almost forgot." She pointed in a direction and spoke, "The shop is just around the corner."

Su Ruan followed her cousin to the shop and looked around.

A young man with shoulder-length hair approached and Su Ruan a look over. Then, he shifted his gaze to Ma Yu Xi and smiled. "Ma Yu Xi, why are you here?" He glanced at Su Ruan and asked, "Who is this?"

"Chu Jin, this is my elder cousin, Su Ruan," Ma Yu Xi introduced. "She's Auntie Zheng Zheng's daughter. Sister Ruan, this is Chu Jin. He was my classmate in high school."

The two of them exchanged polite greetings.

"What brings you here?" Chu Jin asked.

Su Ruan took out her phone and explained her problem. Chu Jin took her phone and brought it over to the counter.

"Let me look at it first and see if it can be fixed." Chu Jin flashed a smile. "It will only take a while."

"Alright." Su Ruan nodded. While the boy was looking at her phone, Su Ruan took the chance to look around the shop. It was then that she noticed that this shop too had the name 'Long' on its signboard.

"I'm sorry, it doesn't look as if this phone is repairable," Chu Jin spoke, gaining Su Ruan's attention again.

Su Ruan looked at her phone on the counter and sighed. "Then, what about the sim card? Can it still be used?"

Chu Jin moved to take a phone under the counter to test the sim card.

The smile on his face told Su Ruan that it was still working.

"Then, I'll just buy a new phone. What type of model do you have here?"

Chu Jin moved quickly and took out a few latest models from their shop. He began to explain each of the phone's features and recommended two models.

"Chu Jin, this is my cousin, remember to give her a big discount," Ma Yu Xi reminded him.

Chu Jin scoffed. "I know. This is the first time that your cousin came to this town. Of course, I will give her a good discount." He looked at Su Ruan again and smiled. "Miss Su, which one did you like best?"

After comparing the two models that Chu Jin recommended, Su Ruan finally made her decision. She took out her card and sighed thinking of the amount of money she had to spend when she was still jobless.

Chu Jin was bout to take her card when the landline phone rang. He asked Su Ruan to wait and pick up the phone call.

Su Ruan did not know what was going on, but she could see that Chu Jin's expression changed slightly as he answered the phone call.

The call only took him a minute. Chu Jin came back to the register and settled with Su Ruan's payment.

Just as she was about to pay, Su Ruan noticed that the total she had to pay was different than what they had agreed on.

"Are you sure you have keyed in the right amount?"

"Uh-huh." Chu Jin nodded. "My boss called just now and said to give this discount to the first customer today.. Miss, you are very lucky."
