Tried a portion, wanted her to taste the flavor.
Ivy probably had never had authentic Chinese food, so she ordered some too.
She must have had Chinese food before, but Chinese food abroad is completely different from domestic, and she ended up chugging water from the spiciness, but it felt quite satisfying.
After breakfast, Gu Chen continued to take her out.
“Come on, I’ll take you to buy clothes.”
Gu Chen normally never paid attention to where lingerie stores were around, after all, those places were something he wouldn’t care about.
Fortunately, there was a mall not far from the neighborhood, so there should be stores.
The well-fed Ivy sat in the back seat, her legs too long that she had to curl them up, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, it wasn’t far.
A few minutes later they arrived at the mall.
It had just opened, so there were few customers.
That was good, at least it saved him from the awkwardness of going in with her.
After searching around, they finally found a lingerie store at the far right of the second floor, which had just opened for business.
“Welcome. Who is buying?”
The salesgirl immediately came forward to greet them, smiling at the two.
“Her.”
Gu Chen pointed at Ivy.
The salesgirl was a bit speechless.
‘Did she look like someone who would buy this kind of thing? A pair of A-cups, still need to wear this? What a waste of fabric. Clearly, wearing an extra layer of clothes would make it unnoticeable.’
“Okay, what style do you like? What cup size do you need? We should have everything here.”
The salesgirl immediately started introducing products, pointing at the dazzling array of underwear on the shelves like reciting a list.
Gu Chen felt a bit awkward following behind, not knowing where to look.
Back when he was a guy, he would sneak a few glances, but now he felt embarrassed.
For such specialized shopping for intimate apparel, he couldn’t offer any help, just watching Ivy discuss and choose with the salesgirl, hearing many professional terms he didn’t understand.
He simply found a seat to rest, waiting for her to finish buying so he could pay.
“How about this one? The fabric is breathable, made of silk material. It’s comfortable to wear and not stuffy.”
Finally, the salesgirl took out a black bra to introduce.
This was one of the largest cup sizes in the store.
The salesgirl even had a hint of envy in her eyes.
“Okay, thank you.”
Ivy nodded, feeling the fabric, quite satisfied.
“Done buying? Then pack it up.”
Hearing that they had chosen, Gu Chen quickly went over to ask, pulling out his phone to pay.
“Handsome, you definitely need to try it on. If it’s uncomfortable, you can exchange it for another on the spot.”
The salesgirl immediately saw that Gu Chen was a typical straight guy.
“You need to try this on too?”
Gu Chen was stunned.
‘With such a small piece of fabric, wouldn’t all styles be about the same? After all, I buy my own underwear online, as long as I can fit into it. It’s never this troublesome.’
“Of course. Looks like you’re not attentive enough to your girlfriend.”
The salesgirl teased with a smile.
Gu Chen coughed lightly, about to explain: “Cough, no, we—”
But then he thought, why explain to a stranger?
He just shut up.
“Then go try it on first.”
Ivy nodded, took the bra, and walked into the fitting room.
“How much is this set? I’ll pay first.”
To save time, Gu Chen went to the register to ask.
“One set is 340. If you’re a member of the store, you can get a 10% discount.”
“How much?!”
Gu Chen almost dropped his phone, thinking he misheard.
‘Just this little piece of fabric dares to cost over three hundred? I could buy a bunch online for nine ninety-nine with free shipping! No wonder brick-and-mortar stores are being crushed by e-commerce. This price is truly outrageous.’
“Handsome, this set is made of special fabric, so it’s a bit more expensive. After all, you’re buying for your girlfriend, you can’t be too stingy, right?”
The salesgirl continued to explain.
Clearly, she was trying to rip him off, but it was hard to just refuse.
“Well… let’s wait until she tries it on. If it doesn’t fit, we can change it.”
Gu Chen took a deep breath.
‘Want me to be a sucker? Dream on. Besides, she didn’t say she definitely wanted this set, so no rush.’
He sat back down in the waiting area outside the fitting room, waiting for Ivy to finish trying.
“Strange, why isn’t she done yet?”
After waiting several minutes, Ivy still hadn’t come out.
Gu Chen was getting impatient.
‘How long does it take to change underwear?’
Bored, he took out his phone to kill time.
Suddenly remembering that encrypted website, he decided to browse it again, hoping to find some clues.
After all, he had to return the phone in a couple of days, so better make use of the time.
After last night’s search, the big data was still pushing local content.
Similar to before, various bizarre voyeuristic videos were popping up.
Until he scrolled to a live stream title:
[Live stream candid footage inside a lingerie store, satisfying everyone’s desires]
“Huh?”
Gu Chen frowned.
‘I’m in a lingerie store right now, and this is pushed to me?’
He looked at the pricing: one virtual coin per minute.
According to Guo Ming’s exchange rate, this price was indeed outrageous.
But there was still over a hundred balance in the account.
After all, it wasn’t his money, so why not click in and take a look?
‘Cough, mainly to confirm if it’s a scam.’
As the screen appeared, the camera seemed to be looking down from above, and there happened to be a figure inside.
‘Damn, is this for real?’
Such blatant voyeurism was utterly lawless.
Gu Chen was about to exit immediately, but just as he was about to tap, his gaze suddenly froze.
‘Why does this look so familiar?’
Looking closer, it was actually a woman with long blonde hair.
“Ivy?!”
Gu Chen almost fell off his seat.
The person in the fitting room was none other than her.
In other words, the camera in this live stream was pointing right at the place where she was changing clothes.
And at this very moment, she was being watched by countless viewers on the encrypted website!
Fortunately, in the footage, she hadn’t started changing yet.
She was on the phone.
When she first entered the fitting room, she received a call from her father, so she hadn’t changed yet.
“Oh no!”
Thinking of this, Gu Chen’s expression changed drastically.
He immediately exited the live stream and rushed directly to the fitting room.
“Dad, don’t say anymore! I’ve already made up my mind and won’t change it. Even if you freeze all my accounts, it’s fine. I can work to earn money on my own. I won’t go back until I find that person!”
Inside the fitting room, Ivy’s expression was grim.
The person on the other end was still trying to persuade her to return.
The two argued for a long time, and eventually parted on bad terms.
After hanging up, she let out a soft sigh.
“I’m sorry…”
She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she had no other choice.
