Chapter 82: This Content, Can’t I Just Get Svip?
“Alright, put it on, put it on.”
Chi Ye nodded.
“That’s right.”
Jin Xia’s eyes curved into smiles, and she returned to her elegant and dignified appearance, waving to the old man: “essayer des vêtements。（Try on clothes）”
“OK.”
The old man nodded and waved for the store clerk to bring over a set of exquisitely styled European suit.
“We’ll try the general styles first, and once decided, have the master take your measurements for private customization.”
Jin Xia explained to Chi Ye, then turned back and asked the old man in French: “Has anyone else worn this suit?”
“NONO.”
The old man shook his head: “According to your requirements, all the clothes are newly made, and you are the first customers to try them on.”
“Thank you.”
Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction.
Chi Ye listened in a daze on the side, and Jin Xia didn’t explain to him, just stepped aside to let the attendant help Chi Ye change into the clothes.
Then she stood at a distance to appraise, nodding from time to time, shaking her head from time to time.
Finally, out of a large batch of haute couture, the two selected four or five sets.
—Originally they were going to select seven or eight sets, but Chi Ye thought it was too many, so Jin Xia had to “settle for second best.”
“Teacher Chi, this shirt suits you well.”
She picked up the shirt and held it in front of Chi Ye, her lips slightly upturned, coquettishly saying: “Wait a moment, I’ll go pick a tie to match it for you.”
Chi Ye: “Okay.”
Jin Xia walked over and communicated with the old man for a while, and soon after, the store clerk brought a batch of ties.
After careful selection, she chose a deep blue tie with exquisite silver subtle patterns that faintly appeared under the light, full of texture.
“Don’t move, I’ll put it on for you.”
Empress Dowager walked in front of Chi Ye, stood on tiptoe, and gently tied the tie for him.
Her gaze was serious and focused, slowly tying the tie while looking up into Chi Ye’s eyes, asking: “Is it tight? Should it be looser?”
Chi Ye didn’t speak, slightly lowering his head, his gaze locked tightly on her.
At this moment, their distance was so close they could feel each other’s breath.
“Um… alright, it shouldn’t be tight…”
Empress Dowager hurriedly lowered her head, calming her racing heartbeat, secretly annoyed—Jin Xia oh Jin Xia, you pretend to control every day, what can you even control!
So embarrassing ahhhh!!
Her emotion inexplicably became sullen, no longer speaking, just stepping back a few steps to look at Chi Ye wearing the suit she carefully selected for him, with the blue tie, and couldn’t help praising: “Teacher Chi, you look good.”
Chi Ye: “…”
Stop teasing, stop teasing, any more teasing and he’ll really be tamed into a dog.
“Then… master, take measurements, I’ll just watch from the side.”
Jin Xia sat on the side, her beautiful peach blossom eyes staring at Chi Ye.
Stare, stare, stare…
Staring until all the processes ended and the two walked out of the small shop, only then did she withdraw her gaze.
“That… go get the program team’s expenses?”
Chi Ye was surprised to find that he was actually a bit nervous at this moment.
But soon, he adjusted.
What a joke, who is he!
Has anyone who can make him nervous been born yet?
Haha.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Jin Xia nodded like a little chick pecking rice.
The program team waiting outside for half a day: “…”
Damn it, is this a travel show or a dating show!
Tell me! What exactly did you two do in there just now?!
「What happened, what happened!」
「Please let me see, I’ll pay!」
「It’s just SVIP, I’ll subscribe!」
Bullet comments were hyping, but Chi Ye and Jin Xia of course wouldn’t tell the audience what they did in there just now.
The two pretended nothing happened, walked all the way to the check-in spot set by the program team on Champs-Élysées, successfully took photos to check in, and collected a travel expense for the resident guests.
Then, looking at the time, it was almost noon.
The two discussed and decided to simply find a restaurant here to eat.
This time, Chi Ye was unusually generous, finding a luxurious high-end western restaurant that looked very upscale, treating Empress Dowager to a meal.
Of course, be generous when it’s time to be generous, as for specific dishes, Chi Ye knew too well what Empress Dowager liked, so he ordered what she liked to eat, or what she “had no opportunity” to eat before.
Empress Dowager ate very satisfactorily, and when walking out of the restaurant, she was humming contentedly, making Chi Ye laugh.
“Where to next?”
“Just wander around casually.”
“Okay.”
In just a few words, the two decided the next “itinerary.”
Walking aimlessly along Champs-Élysées, when passing a certain store, Chi Ye suddenly noticed Jin Xia’s gaze pause, then shift away, and after a while, sneak a glance back.
“Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Chi Ye looked at that store, surprised and astonished—it was the domestic MINISO!
Damn, it’s even chained to Champs-Élysées?!
Coming abroad once, and still going back to shop at MINISO?
“Um… is it okay?” Jin Xia hesitated: “There’s live broadcast watching.”
“No problem.” Chi Ye waved his hand, signaling the program team: “If inconvenient to broadcast, turn it off.”
Program team: “…”
You two better not go too far!
Of course, Chi Ye was just saying that.
In fact, Empress Dowager didn’t need to worry at all about her “image collapsing,” because ever since Jian Ni aired, all her actions had been known to the outside world.
Her family naturally knew too.
So, it was just her habitual little hesitation and affectation.
But Chi Ye liked her affectation.
“Let’s go.”
He led the way, taking Jin Xia into the MINISO store with pink decor, the warm air conditioning blowing, dispelling the chill from everyone.
As soon as Empress Dowager entered here, her peach blossom eyes curiously scanned around, occasionally trotting over to look closely—actually, MINISO sells retail items like hair clips, cosmetics, perfume and dolls, as well as daily necessities like toothbrushes and cups.
All very cheap and common domestically.
But Empress Dowager obviously had never shopped at such a “cheap” store before, and one’s first time is always memorable, so even though the items inside were ordinary, she still found everything novel.
“Teacher Chi, Teacher Chi, come here.”
Suddenly, Jin Xia waved her little hand to call him: “Come here quickly.”
Chi Ye curiously walked over: “What’s up?”
“Help me put this on.”
Empress Dowager happily stretched out her hand, holding a cute pink rabbit ear hair clip in her small hand.
Chi Ye was stunned, then smiled and took it, noticing her slightly messy bangs, paused.
Jin Xia blinked her peach blossom eyes, tucked her hair behind her ear herself, and coquettishly urged: “Quick, quick.”
Chi Ye came back to his senses and carefully put it on for her.
“Wow~”
Empress Dowager turned around, looked in the mirror, then back at Chi Ye: “Teacher Chi, cute?”
Chi Ye sincerely: “Cute.”
“Then, I’ll put one on you too.”
Jin Xia revealed her little hand hidden behind her back, holding a pink hair clip exactly the same as the one on her head, but one size larger.
Chi Ye: “?”
“Come on, come on.”
Chi Ye admitted, he was a dog.
He leaned in proactively, and Jin Xia seriously tidied his stray hairs before putting on the matching rabbit ear hair clip for him.
“Hm…”
Not satisfied after putting it on, she stood there rubbing her chin, thought for two seconds with her peach blossom eyes, then picked a pair of sunglasses for Chi Ye, put them on again, and happily clapped: “Good looking, good looking, Teacher Chi, good looking!”
Chi Ye: “…”
Looking at himself in the mirror with a bit more “pink vibe,” he nodded along: “Yes, yes, very good looking.”
“Just these, let’s go, let’s go.”
Jin Xia pushed Chi Ye to go checkout together.
“Where to next?” Empress Dowager continued to ask.
“Where do you want to go?” Chi Ye replied.
“I’m thirsty, Teacher Chi.”
“Then let’s buy some water.”
Chi Ye nodded, asked: “Milk tea or coffee?”
Empress Dowager thought long and hard, hesitated: “Can I have both? I’ll drink one by one!”
She was completely dropping the pretense now.
“I’ll buy ten cups for you too!”
Chi Ye was extravagantly generous.
……
Meanwhile.
2:30 PM.
Teacher Wen’s group finally arrived near Mont Saint-Michel Abbey.
The two gazed at the majestic building standing on the Normandy coast, both exclaiming in admiration.
“So shocking.”
This was Jiang Cheng.
“This building is like an isolated fortress emerging from a dream.”
This was Teacher Wen.
Jiang Cheng: “…”
He glanced sideways at old man Wen, cursing inwardly: Damn, you got all the show off.
This journey had been tiring enough; he should’ve refused Wen Lijuan last night!
He plopped down on the ground, without any idol burden—due to network issues, the live broadcast here had switched to pre-recorded, no one could see him like this.
“Arthur.”
Teacher Wen admired the scenery for a while, took dozens of selfies with his phone, then called Arthur over, directing: “You go check in and get the expenses, sis has something to do here.”
“Hm?”
Jiang Cheng puzzled: “What’s up?”
“Sis is going to rest a bit, getting old, too tired.”
Wen Lijuan sighed, rubbed her old cold leg.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng’s dissatisfaction vanished, thinking Teacher Wen at this age was still sacrificing so much for her show-off career, he couldn’t outdo her, so what was there to complain about?
“Okay, I’ll go first, you rest well.”
Jiang Cheng nodded, immediately heading to the program team’s fixed spot to collect expenses.
Teacher Wen watched him leave, then suddenly stood up energetically, striding in another direction.
“Uh… Teacher, aren’t you resting?”
The PD following him was dumbfounded.
“Rest? Didn’t I just rest for five minutes?”
Teacher Wen smiled slightly, pointing not far away: “I heard Mont Saint-Michel hill over there is nice, let’s go climb it…”
Everyone: “?!”
Teacher Wen said nothing, just briskly headed to the distance.
Over an hour later.
Teacher Wen reached the top of Mont Saint-Michel hill, overlooking the scenery below, full of vigor.
Took out his phone, snapped a few selfies, posted on Weibo:
【Finally summited Mont Saint-Michel hill, the ancient abbey beside me stands quietly, witnessing my arrival. From here looking to the distance, the world unfolds centered on me. Turns out, the feeling of conquest is so wonderful.】
Weibo posted, comments exploded.
「Sis is too awesome!」
「Wow, at such an age still climbing mountains, admire!」
「Before live cut off I reminded sis to check in at Mont Saint-Michel hill, didn’t expect sis really went!」
「So beautiful, really want to be on site.」
「This moment, understood the meaning of travel show.」
「Where’s young Jiang Cheng? Too lame.」
Wen Lijuan saw and replied: 【Arthur is still a child.】
Your child my ass!!
At the foot of the hill.
Jiang Cheng saw Teacher Wen’s summit selfie, eyes went dark, nearly spat blood.
Damn, Wen Lijuan, playing like this?!
No martial virtue!!
He’d just returned from check-in spot, exhausted panting, then saw #Arthur is still a child# on hot search, blood pressure surging, nearly cried.
Couldn’t win, he really couldn’t outshow Teacher Wen.
—She used every nasty trick on me!
Arthur furious, but saw the summit “not far” from him, inspiration struck—can’t be first, second is fine!
Thinking this, suddenly full of energy, not tired, stood up waving: “Let’s go climb too!”
PD: “?!!”
Dad, rest, you’re dying!
But Arthur silent, full sprint.
Young stamina strong, under 40 minutes, he rushed to summit, saw… Teacher Wen who just boarded sightseeing cable car to descend.
By now, Teacher Wen had posted second Weibo: 【Elegance, never out of style.】
Then saw panting Arthur arriving, surprised: “Arthur, how’d you get up?”
Arthur sneered: “You can climb, I can’t?”
Teacher Wen more surprised: “You climbed up?!”
Arthur: “Ah?! What else?!”
“There’s sightseeing cable car, why not take it up?”
Teacher Wen dumbfounded: “Why climb yourself?”
Arthur heart sank, lips trembled, asked: “You… took cable car up?”
“Yeah.” Teacher Wen puzzled: “Sis this age, how could I really climb.”
Arthur eyes bloodshot: “Then… why post Weibo an hour later?”
“Sis was busy taking photos checking in along the way, posting after an hour seems real!” Wen Lijuan lectured: “Don’t you get this?”
Damn!!!
Arthur mouth agape, plopped on ground.
Teacher Wen shook head, cable car moved, shouted: “Arthur, sis waiting below, remember take cable car down, or sis eats first!”
Arthur: Aah! Damn!! Pissed me off!!
After this episode aired, two Weibo tags appeared.
#EleganceNeverOutOfStyle# #SillyDogNeverReflects#
Who is elegance, no need to say.
Who is silly dog, no need to mention.
Arthur like a toy, toyed by Teacher Wen in her palm, lost all strength and means.
……
Seine River Bank.
Shang Youshu wearing thick black sunglasses, walking ahead blowing wind.
Behind, You Han stuck close, occasionally showing off his “sexy low husky” bubble voice, expecting top streamer’s favor.
Unfortunately, compared to favor, Shang Youshu now more wanted to drown him in Seine—stop sexual harassing me, please, I can’t take it!
Sigh, wonder how #Chi Ye and Jin Xia# doing now… because of last night, she really embarrassed to approach Chi Ye.
Too hellish.
But thinking what would happen with those two alone today?
Thinking this, Shang Youshu felt her eyes hallucinating.
Because she seemed to see not far away, two familiar figures chatting and laughing walking this way.
Two updates today
