Meanwhile,

Fuya was brought out by Zhiye to buy things because of Yujie's instructions. Fuya pouted unhappily and said, "Sister Zhuye, why did you bring Fuya out? Fuya wants to watch TV."

Zhiye handed the freshly bought apple candy to Fuya and said, "Everything has its limits. Watching too much TV is bad for your eyesight. Besides, do you want to be criticized by Jerry?"

Fuya looked a bit scared and said, "Fuya won't watch TV today."

Zhiye smiled and said, "Then Jerry might praise Fuya for being a well-behaved child."

Fuya's eyes lit up upon hearing this and she said, "Yu Jie will praise Fuya?"

Zhiye nodded with a smile and said, "Of course."

Fuya felt a bit happy and said, "Then Fuya will be a well-behaved child, but only for today." Fuya took a bite of the apple candy and said, "It's so sweet and sour."

"Don't you like it?" Zhiye saw Fuya wrinkling her face because of the sourness.

"I like it. Although it's a bit sour, it's also a bit sweet. Fuya really likes the sour and sweet taste," Fuya took another bite.

"If Fuya likes it, then it's not in vain for me to bring you here," Zhiye also took a bite of the apple candy and enjoyed it.

Just as they were about to leave this snack street, a bearded man walked up to Zhiye in a sneaky manner and said, "Miss, do you want to buy something special?" He opened his jacket, revealing vibrators, contraceptives, and other things. "Cheap and guaranteed to satisfy you."

"Sorry, I don't need those things," Zhiye politely refused and held onto Fuya's hand. "Let's go, Fuya."

"Oh..." Fuya followed with a confused expression.

The bearded man stopped Zhiye and said, "Miss, don't you..."

Zhiye looked puzzled and asked, "Do we know each other?"

The bearded man nodded vigorously and said, "Didn't you follow that young man the other day? You were wearing a beautiful kimono."

Zhiye remembered and said, "You're that man..."

The bearded man laughed and said, "I didn't expect to meet again today."

Zhiye remembered something important and asked, "That day, you said the confession was successful..."

"You're referring to that matter," the bearded man recalled and smiled meaningfully. "That girl wasn't you."

Zhiye was surprised and said, "He confessed to another girl?"

"Well, about that..." the bearded man seemed hesitant to speak.

"What do you want?" Zhiye asked.

"At least do some business with me. It's not easy for me to make a living," the bearded man said.

"I'll consider whether what you say is true or false and decide whether to do business with you."

"I knew you would say that," the bearded man said helplessly. "That day in public, I saw that young man confessing to a blonde girl, expressing his deep love. Although the girl didn't agree and even beat him up, the young man followed her afterwards. I don't know if the confession was successful or not, but it doesn't seem like it now."

"I can't believe Jerry lied to me," Zhiye's face turned ugly. "Why would he lie to me?"

"That guy is your boyfriend, right?" the bearded man asked.

"He's my fiancé," Zhiye's inner turmoil was difficult to calm.

"I see. This guy is two-timing, quite impressive," the bearded man praised. "I myself don't even have a girlfriend at this age."

"Alright, now that I've listened to you, let's make a deal," Zhiye opened her coat on the left side.

Zhiye glanced at the items without much interest.

"I knew you wouldn't be interested in these," the bearded man laughed unseriously and opened his coat on the right side. There were anti-wolf sprays and electric batons. "These will satisfy you."

Zhiye looked at the electric baton taken off the coat and said, "This..."

The bearded man smiled and said, "You have good taste. This thing is absolutely effective against bad people."

Zhiye put the electric baton in her pocket and asked about the price. After giving the money, the bearded man looked happy and said, "Thank you for your patronage," then left.

Zhiye didn't linger on him for too long and turned to Fuya and said, "Let's go home."

Fuya was confused and asked, "Are we not buying anything?"

Zhiye didn't say anything but just kept walking home.
