The girl with shoulder-length hair was no longer in the mobile phone store. Instead, there was a bald man wearing a vest with a bulging belly. When he saw Ye Shuang and the others coming in, he immediately stood up enthusiastically.

"Need to buy something?"

"Buy a smartphone." Ye Shuang said, "Just a cheaper one."

Seeing the enthusiastic expression of the middle-aged man, Ye Shuang felt like "This is the owner of a mobile phone store". If the service attitude of the girl in the morning was really like that, this store would have to close down sooner or later.

"Yes, look at these iPhones. They are durable, have good signal, and charge quickly." The boss immediately introduced the row of iPhones with a smile, "And they are all mobile phones that girls have used for less than a month, and the prices are affordable."

"This Apple only costs 5,999."

When Ye Shuang heard this, he suddenly fell silent after remembering what the girl said in the morning about "all kinds of problems, just pick one that works."

"Let's get an Android one." Ye Shuang said.

"Okay, just wait." The boss flipped through it, took out the same mobile phone that the girl sold to Ye Shuang that morning, and said,

"This is a recent new model. Many people buy it. Brand new one only costs 1,800."

Ye Shuang was stunned, "So expensive?"

"Oh, how expensive is it? It's been this price all these years." When the boss saw that Ye Shuang couldn't even pay a thousand yuan, his attitude immediately changed a lot.

"This kind of affordable mobile phone is very difficult. They all follow the path of small profits but quick turnover. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Ye Shuang: "..."

He suddenly felt that the girl that morning was quite nice. Although she had a bad mouth, she was a conscientious boss.

The boss in front of me was smiling, and although his service attitude was enthusiastic, he wanted to kill him.

"Then let's look elsewhere." Ye Shuang pulled Bai Yuyou beside him and quickly left the mobile phone store.

It's better to go shopping online. With the speed of logistics here, it should be available the next day.

"What a waste of my time." After seeing Ye Shuang and the others turning around and leaving without hesitation, the boss spat, and then put the phone back.

A few seconds later, he suddenly looked through the inventory in confusion, "That's weird... Why does it feel like one is missing?"

"Forget it, my mother-in-law probably sold it."

After leaving the store, Ye Shuang turned to look at the girl beside him, "Remember, when buying something, you have to tell if the other party is trying to trick you, especially if there is no clearly marked price."

Bai Yuyou seemed to understand, but suddenly asked, "Is foster care also a type of purchase?"

"Um...a bit similar?" When asked this question, Ye Shuang suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"How much does it cost for you?" Bai Yuyou asked curiously.

Ye Shuang was a little helpless. Why did this girl always want to possess him?

Forget it, I'm young and naive.

"People can't be traded." Ye Shuang said, then led Bai Yuyou and planned to go back.

"But...my mother once said she hoped to sell me..." Bai Yuyou's calm words made Ye Shuang stop in his tracks.

After Ye Shuang stared blankly at Bai Yuyou for a while, he suddenly forced out a smile and said, "Your mother was just joking to scare you."

"Really?" Bai Yuyou seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't know where his thoughts were wandering.

"Well, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Instant noodles..." She replied subconsciously.

"no."

"Why?"

"There is no reason, just take my words to heart." Ye Shuang said, after all, it is okay to eat instant noodles occasionally, but if you eat them all the time, you will not be able to keep up with your nutritional intake.

Although Bai Yuyou didn't quite understand, he still nodded obediently when he thought of the delicious food Ye Shuang made.

Suddenly, her eyes were inadvertently attracted by the mother and daughter passing by - the young mother was holding her daughter's little hand while shopping, both of them smiling happily.

This kind of feeling will never be lost to time in a lifetime, but it is extremely strange to Bai Yuyou at this moment.

The girl stood there and watched, as if she was outside the hustle and bustle of the crowd, so clear and cold, as if the sunlight falling on her had turned into moonlight.

It wasn't until they walked away that Bai Yuyou slowly looked at Ye Shuang, and then suddenly asked in a low voice, "Can I hold your hand?"

Ye Shuang naturally noticed this scene. He looked away and didn't say much. He just took Bai Yuyou's slightly cold and pale hand.

Passing the warmth from his palm a little, he asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Instant noodles."

"I told you no."

"oh……"

There were many people around, and the two of them walked gently next to each other without any complicated emotions, just keeping each other warm in the afternoon when it was not cold.

After shopping for groceries and returning to the house, Ye Shuang took out the key and tried to open the door. There was a clicking sound from the lock cylinder, but it was still very difficult to open. Not only that - after pulling out the key, Ye Shuang found that it was wet, as if it was stained with dirt. There was some strange liquid on it.

Ye Shuang frowned slightly. He looked around first, and then let Bai Yuyou enter the room.

Before cooking, Ye Shuang called a locksmith on his mobile phone. Within half an hour, a middle-aged man came over.

"Didn't you unlock the lock?" the master said, putting his tool bag on the ground.

"Master, please remove this lock. I want to change it." Ye Shuang said and handed the other party a cigarette.

After the master took the cigarette, he put it behind his ear and smiled, "Changing the lock, right? Wait a minute, I'll go get a lock from the car."

After a while, the master came back.

His technique was very skillful, and he had pried the entire lock open and dismantled it in a short time.

"Your lock is rusty." The master's voice sounded, "Why is it still wet to the touch?"

Ye Shuang lit a cigarette for himself. He first asked Bai Yuyou, who had stuck his head out, to go back to the room, and then continued to tell the master,

"Master, please see if this lock is artificially rusted."

"The lock cylinder looks quite new, but the lock is rusty." The master took a look at Ye Shuang. The lock cylinder was made of copper, so it was fine, but the entire lower half of the lock was completely rusted, and it was very serious.

He lowered his voice,

"Little brother, did you offend some neighbor and punished you?"

"Probably not." Ye Shuang thought about Bai Yuyou's appearance and asked calmly, "So, this must be man-made?"

The locksmith wasn't very sure, he just said, "It's very likely, otherwise this kind of lock wouldn't be so rusty. Someone should have poured something into it."

"The locks in other people's communities that have been built for decades will not be as rusty as this."

"Okay, master, please help me change the lock first."

"The lock is 150, and the manual fee is 50."

"Can."

While the master was installing the lock, Ye Shuang also picked up the rusty lock on the ground——

[Item: Rusty door lock

It seems to have been corroded by chemicals, but it can still be used reluctantly]

really.

Ye Shuang took a breath from the cigarette in his mouth, squinting slightly amid the smoke.
