Strange Cards

Chapter 32 is so expensive!

After finishing the rice noodles, Bai Yu didn't even leave the water spinach in the noodles behind, eating it all up before drinking a sip of the soup.

"tasty!"

"Boss lady, the bill is due."

At this moment, the proprietress of the snail rice noodle shop came over and, after glancing at the order that Shi Yu had placed, said to Shi Yu.

"Forty-five yuan, scan the code or pay cash?"

"Scan the QR code."

After Shi Yu scanned the QR code on the table and transferred the money, the proprietress looked at Bai Yu, who seemed to be enjoying herself, and said with a smile.

"Young man, your girlfriend can really eat!"

"Four ounces of rice noodles, a fried egg, a tiger-skin pig's trotter, and two tiger-skin chicken feet and two duck feet each—I haven't seen such a big eater in a long time."

"But don't eat too much, or your stomach will get bloated."

Shi Yu glanced at Bai Yu's obviously flat stomach and said.

"If I order her another bowl, she might be able to finish it."

"Never mind then. I know our noodles are delicious, but you can come again next time. Our shop isn't going anywhere, there's no need to rush to eat until you're stuffed today."

"Okay, come again next time."

Shi Yu took a piece of paper, wiped Bai Yu's mouth, threw it into the trash can, and led Bai Yu out of the snail rice noodle shop.

"Are you full?"

"I think I can still eat."

Shi Yu led Bai Yu back into the night market street, and when they came out again, they were both holding an extra-long skewer of grilled meat.

Shi Yu ate his food politely, while Bai Yu, as if released from a prison of hunger, quickly finished his skewer of grilled meat, his eyes still fixed on the one in Shi Yu's hand.

Shi Yu handed the skewer of grilled meat, which she hadn't even finished half of, to Bai Yu.

"I'm full. You really can't eat anymore after you finish this!"

However, Bai Yu did not listen to Shi Yu's advice and had a sudden inspiration after finishing the barbecue skewers.

"I'm so thirsty."

Shi Yu originally planned to harden her heart and take the girl to the mall to pick out a few clothes and go home, but looking at Bai Yu, who was holding her hands and swaying them from side to side while staring at her with wide eyes, she couldn't bring herself to harden her heart.

Shi Yu walked to a nearby milk tea shop and bought her a tub of milk tea. Without saying a word, she took Bai Yu's hand and headed towards the mall.

Shi Yu led Bai Yu straight up to the fourth floor, where they arrived at the women's clothing section.

Shi Yu looked at a women's clothing brand that seemed reasonably affordable, and took Bai Yu's hand as they went inside.

"What to wear outside, what to wear at home, pajamas, skirts, pants, tops, short-sleeved shirts..."

Shi Yu compared Bai Yu's figure and picked out more than twenty pieces of clothing before going to the counter to pay.

Bai Yu was still drinking her milk tea when she saw the invoice in Shi Yu's hand, and she almost dropped her milk tea in fright.

"How many zeros are there?"

Bai Yu counted on her fingers, and soon the CPU started smoking.

Shi Yu said, annoyed, as she tapped Bai Yu on the head.

"I've bought you all the clothes you wanted, and even three or five sets of underwear."

"It's only a little over two thousand yuan, not that expensive."

Bai Yu remembered that she only spent forty-five yuan on a bowl of snail rice noodles, which only occupied two squares of the four numbers in the two thousand, and her heart ached instantly.

"Could these clothes be exchanged for tons of snail rice noodles?"

"If you like to eat, I'll take you, but these clothes are necessary."

"Isn't it too...expensive?"

"I also bought you something very cheap."

Shi Yu, seeing Bai Yu's expression, probably guessed that the girl was worried about the money.

However, what she felt sorry for was the snail rice noodles that had been turned into clothes.

"If it were really expensive, we couldn't afford anything less than several hundred thousand. But the clothes we got for you only cost a little over two thousand, which is pretty good."

"How much is several hundred thousand?"

"I can make you eat snail rice noodles until you throw up, until you don't want to eat them anymore."

Shiyu put all the bags in one hand, took Baiyu's hand (who was still thinking and counting on her fingers), and crossed the road as the light turned green.

After returning home a short while later, Shiyu sorted and put away all the clothes, planning to wash them tonight and dry them tomorrow so they would be ready to use.

After getting Bai Yu a set of underwear, Shi Yu dug out his old shorts and T-shirt, put them in the bathroom, and said...

"Do you know how to take a bath?"

"Probably...."

Shi Yu didn't notice Bai Yu's uncertain tone. After teaching Bai Yu how to use the water heater, she went outside.

Bai Yu looked at the sparse water droplets still falling from the showerhead, took off her clothes, and walked under the showerhead.

Bai Yu turned on the shower head like Shi Yu did, and then a scream came directly from the bathroom.

"ah!!!!"

"What's wrong?"

"These days, can showerheads really come alive and bite people?"

Fortunately, Shiyu knew that something might happen to Baiyu if she took a bath alone, so she didn't lock the bathroom beforehand and just opened the door and went in.

Before Shi Yu could even see what was happening in the bathroom, a white flash rushed into her arms and clung tightly to her.

"Owner!!!"

Shigure looked at the little cat girl crying in his arms, her face streaked with tears, and looked around but didn't see anything.

Shiyu held Baiyu in her arms with one hand to prevent her from falling, and then carefully inspected the entire bathroom.

Forget about leeches and cockroaches, there aren't even mosquitoes here.

"Girl, what's your name?"

"water!"

As Bai Yu spoke, she pointed to her wet cat ears and shook her head vigorously, as if trying to dry them off.

"How do you shower without water? Should I put you in a plastic bag and dry-clean you by rinsing you with water?"

"I don't like water..."

"It's no use if you don't like it. If you don't take a shower, I'll throw you out."

Seeing Shi Yu's expression, Bai Yu knew he was serious, so she jumped down to look for an opportunity to break out of the bathroom.

However, how could Bai Yu, a kitten who was only a little over a day old, possibly be as fast as Shi Yu, an old hand?

Just as Bai Yu transformed into a white flash of light to break through the encirclement, Shi Yu precisely grabbed her tail.

"ah!!!"

Bai Yu instantly bristled and bit Shi Yu's wrist.

Fortunately, Bai Yu was still a kitten before she became a catgirl, and the bite landed perfectly on the bone of her wrist without much force, only causing a slight cut.

Shi Yu looked at the wound on her hand and then at Bai Yu, who was being held by the back of the neck and looked embarrassed. Without saying a word, she turned on the shower and quickly finished washing Bai Yu's face.
