School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 568 - 570: The Gift

"I don’t mind at all!" Liu Sisi quickly got into the passenger seat and then smiled, "Shopping with you, I’m happy even just walking!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han felt a sudden thud in his heart. It seemed that Liu Sisi had really taken a liking to him.

Xiao Han said awkwardly, "Is that so?"

"Of course!" Liu Sisi nodded.

"Then... shall we walk to the shopping street?" Xiao Han asked.

"Get out of here, would it not take over an hour to walk there?" Liu Sisi pouted and said, "Are you trying to make fun of me? Can’t we take the bus or a taxi instead?"

"Hehe..." Xiao Han chuckled with a smirk.

Liu Sisi didn’t have much concept of cars, only knowing this one was rather luxurious. Sitting in it was also very comfortable.

The car arrived at the pedestrian street. Xiao Han parked the car, and the two began to stroll around.

"Yo, isn’t that Sisi?" A few guys with dyed yellow hair gathered around at the street corner.

"What do you want?" Liu Sisi glared at them. Despite her baby face, she was far from polite to these thugs, fierce-looking: "Are you guys asking for a beating?"

"We wouldn’t dare!" They shook their heads quickly and said, "Sister Sisi, isn’t this your boyfriend?"

The guys looked at Xiao Han with smiles on their faces.

"Is it any of your business?" Liu Sisi replied irritably, "Keep talking nonsense, and next time I’ll stitch your mouths shut!"

"No... we daren’t!" As soon as they heard her, the guys quickly covered their mouths and ran off.

These few were local hoodlums, often visiting Kangning Clinic to get stitched up, which is how they got to know Liu Sisi. They were quite intimidated by her, so they treated her with a lot of respect, greeting her whenever they saw her and asking after her warmly. They especially couldn’t stand to see Liu Sisi angry; whenever she got mad, they would immediately go weak at the knees.

Of course, Liu Sisi was also a kind-hearted girl. Even though she must charge people from the streets, her prices were fair, unlike some other clinics that would hike up prices as soon as they saw thugs or gangsters coming in for treatment.

As a result, Kangning Clinic’s business was much better. Not only that, but Liu Sisi had also made the acquaintance of many people from the streets through this. They respected her immensely and were very courteous towards her. They never showed her any disrespect.

Walking on the pedestrian street,

Liu Sisi was like an exuberant little bird, hopping and skipping down the street.

Sometimes she would cling to Xiao Han’s arm, sometimes she would let go and run wildly. She seemed like a canary that had just escaped from its cage, exceedingly ecstatic and jubilant. Xiao Han watched Liu Sisi, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth: "Have you not been out shopping for a long time?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Liu Sisi blinked her cute eyes and said, "It’s been at least a month since I last went out. Every day, I’m stuck in the clinic dealing with patients. I’m on the verge of losing it!"

"You’ve really had it tough," Xiao Han said sympathetically, looking at Liu Sisi.

For a young girl in the prime of her youth, to be unable to go shopping with friends or to indulge in retail therapy seemed unimaginable, almost like a restriction for a girl.

"Eh, it’s nothing much!" Liu Sisi shook her head and then said, "After all, it’s the healer’s heart that matters, dedicating oneself to saving people."

"There aren’t many doctors with your kind of thinking anymore," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Hee hee..." Liu Sisi giggled.

In the pedestrian street, Liu Sisi liked to browse shops but was not good at buying. She enjoyed wandering in every store but was reluctant to spend money. The Kangning Clinic might be bustling and the business decent, but Liu Sisi was not good at managing it, so not much money was made.

After deducting rent, utilities, and costs, her monthly earnings were barely enough for basic living. If she wanted to use that income to buy a car or a house, that was even more out of the question.

Liu Sisi was a very naive and kind-hearted girl. She would not cheat or fleece people. A medicine that cost ten yuan in purchasing price, she would sell for no more than twelve or thirteen yuan.

Sometimes, she would even provide stitches and treat wounds for free. It was precisely because of her skilled medical practice and excellent medical ethics that Kangning Clinic had an endless stream of business. Many came by reputation. The local residents would also prefer going to Kangning Clinic for minor ailments like a fever or a cold because the prices were low.

A simple trip to the hospital for a common cold might cost three to five hundred yuan, but at Kangning Clinic, the same could be resolved for thirty to fifty yuan.

Sometimes, seeing a patient would not only earn Liu Sisi no money, but she would also end up paying out of her own pocket. Being too naive and too innocent, she would offer treatment for free if she saw that someone couldn’t pay. Though she accumulated a lot of good reputation, it left her financially strapped.

"This is really pretty," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Liu Sisi’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at the shiny silver earrings. Girls naturally found such glittering things intriguing, but the price tag made Liu Sisi hesitate. She said with a smile, "It’s too expensive. A pair of silver earrings for over two hundred is just too much!"

"It’s not expensive," Xiao Han shook his head, "Didn’t you notice the ruby embellishments?"

Liu Sisi paused for a moment, then said, "That’s still too expensive."

Xiao Han saw through Liu Sisi’s thought and immediately stood up, saying, "Wrap up this pair of earrings for me."

"Yes, sir," the waiter immediately nodded.

Liu Sisi hurriedly said, "Xiao Han, this is too expensive."

"Fool, if you like it, let’s buy it," Xiao Han smiled and said, "Besides, consider this pair of earrings a gift from me."

"Ah..." Liu Sisi’s face flushed slightly upon hearing this.

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, your girlfriend is very beautiful, and these earrings suit her well. Why don’t you put them on her yourself?"

After hearing that, Sisi’s face turned even redder, and she hung her head silently without explaining.

"Sure!" Xiao Han immediately nodded.

The corners of the waiter’s mouth lifted into a smile before saying, "Sir, that will be two hundred fifty-six in total. Will you pay with card or cash?"

"Cash," Xiao Han took out three hundred and handed it over.

A hint of covert joy flashed in Sisi’s eyes. Deep down, she was very happy. A blush surfaced on her cheeks, and she gazed at Xiao Han curiously, seemingly looking forward to him putting on the silver earrings.

The waiter took the money and processed the card transaction.

Xiao Han took the earrings out of the small box and personally put them on Liu Sisi. She lowered her head, her face flushed, looking very shy. After putting them on, the waiter hurriedly said, "So beautiful, miss, these earrings suit you perfectly."

"Is that so?" said Sisi, lowering her head, even more bashful now.

"Of course!" the waiter nodded, saying, "Your taste is really good."

"Thank you!" Sisi nodded.

Leaving the silver jewelry store, Sisi clung to Xiao Han’s arm, and the pair seemed as though they were made for each other.

The two strolled along the pedestrian street for over two hours until it was after five in the afternoon. Xiao Han took Sisi to a restaurant in University Town for dinner. As the saying goes, why let outside forces benefit from one’s own resources?

"When did University Town get such a big restaurant?" Sisi asked in surprise.

Hanmen Restaurant had expanded to over a thousand square meters. The original Yujian Restaurant had been completely taken over by Hanmen Restaurant and had become another branch. The two restaurants were only separated by an alley. The old Hanmen Restaurant’s sign had been removed, and this enormous sign was relocated to the entrance of University Town. They had replaced it with a super-sized sign visible from hundreds of meters away at night.

"It’s been around for a while," Xiao Han laughed, "Have you not been here for a long time?"

"Yeah!" Sisi immediately nodded, saying, "I haven’t been here in a long time."

"No wonder you didn’t know!" Xiao Han laughed, "Come on, I’ll take you to try the dishes here."

"Okay!" Sisi nodded.

They entered the restaurant, where the new manager didn’t recognize Xiao Han. Yang Lu would come over to supervise the place on weekends, and the work here was basically under her guidance. The new manager was a girl who had just graduated from university, majoring in hospitality management. Although she was new, after several times of Yang Lu’s guidance, she had become a complete professional and managed Hanmen Restaurant extremely well.

The peak dining hour was approaching. With several schools around and tens of thousands of students, although most dined in their school canteens, many would still go out for meals in groups or small gatherings, especially on weekends. Hence, the business at Hanmen Restaurant was always booming.

Xiao Han and Sisi found a booth, and Xiao Han was familiar with the place.

"Do you come here often?" Sisi asked.

"Yes," Xiao Han nodded, "I know their manager."

"Liar," Sisi murmured with pursed lips.

Xiao Han ordered several signature dishes like Peking duck, roast suckling pig, and grilled lamb chops...

"That’s too much..." Sisi protested that it was wasteful.

But Xiao Han didn’t mind; after all, it was his restaurant, and it was the first time he was formally treating Sisi to dinner, so he definitely couldn’t be stingy. Xiao Han smiled and said, "This is the first time I am formally inviting you out to dinner. You have to give me some face."

"Alright then," Sisi didn’t know what else to say.

Or rather, this was her first time dining alone with a boy, so she felt somewhat nervous and was extraordinarily shy. Her face flushed, she looked left and right.

She interjected, "There are quite a few people eating here, aren’t there?"

"It’s not too many right now," Xiao Han laughed, "The peak period is coming; there will be quite a line at the door soon."

"Really?" Sisi was surprised, "This restaurant is so big, if it’s full, how much money does it make in a day?"

"Probably over a hundred thousand," Xiao Han replied.
