I loaded the character design panel.

Chapter 5 Scam

"Was my praise too direct just now?"

Seeing her turn and run away, Ang Lee did not chase after her, but instead reflected on his words and actions.

There shouldn't be any problem with my attitude, after all, praising is the most basic social etiquette.

This is like seeing someone wearing new clothes, getting a new hairstyle, or buying new things, and then complimenting them.

"She's probably just too shy."

After a brief review, Ang Lee stopped worrying about it.

Everyone has a different personality and a different persona, so it's impossible for a single sentence to have the same effect on everyone.

Anyway, he can't be wrong to say nice things when he sees changes in others.

Putting that aside, he fell into deep thought and began to ponder the character design panel.

Having helped Zhong Lixue escape the danger of the car accident, the progress of the "Prince Charming" character has reached 50%. I wonder what changes and rewards will come with the character upgrade.

Is the effect further enhanced? Or is it a reward of something else?

And what about his "sports genius" persona? How can he maximize his value?

A man drinking milk tea is like a cow chewing on a peony.

While pondering, Ang Lee finished his milk tea and came back to his senses.

He looked up at the bar and saw that Zhong Lixue was busy working and making milk tea, and didn't have time to come over and chat with him, so he got up and walked over.

"Zhong, thank you for the milk tea. I have to go now, you can continue with your work."

Upon arriving at the bar, Li An lightly tapped the table with the back of his hand, attracting Zhong Lixue to turn around, and then explained his purpose.

It's no use for him to stay in the bubble tea shop any longer; they're still at work. He can talk to them later.

"Are you leaving? Okay."

It was after dinner, the peak time for the milk tea shop. Zhong Lixue, who was busy with takeout orders, glanced at him, then at the empty cup he had left on the table, before obediently nodding in response.

"Bye-Bye."

Realizing she had no intention of stopping him, Li An paused for a moment, then waved goodbye to her.

"Bye-Bye."

Zhong Lixue nodded and waved to him.

After saying hello, Ang Lee didn't linger and turned to leave.

"Xiaoxue, why don't you go see him off?" Seeing the handsome young man walk out of the store, the girl still didn't take any action, and Lu Yao, who wanted to ship them as a couple, couldn't stand it anymore.

It's such a pity that this story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress ended so abruptly.

"But I haven't finished making this milk tea yet..."

Zhong Lixue actually wanted to see the person off, but she was still at work and happened to be making milk tea.

If left unattended, not only will the milk tea take a long time to be served, but it may also result in a poor flavor.

"But what but? You almost got into a car accident today, and you also got caught in the rain. I'm giving you the night off so you can go and thank them properly."

Seeing that she clearly wanted to go but was hesitant and timid, Wu Lingling raised her eyebrows and spoke up on the spot.

As a mother of two, she has been married for nine years and knows a lot about dating.

As the store manager, she is also very knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships.

That handsome young man waited for half an hour, but Xiaoxue was like a blockhead, only focused on working and making milk tea, and didn't know to take a break to chat with him.

Now, the handsome young man couldn't wait any longer and made an excuse to leave.

"Have a holiday?"

Zhong Lixue was taken aback by her words, not expecting her to say such a thing.

The store manager gave her a great job: she works from 6:30 PM to 11:30 PM on weekdays, and from 10:00 AM to 11:50 PM on weekends, with a half-day off every Tuesday, and receives 70% of the salary of a regular employee.

Her part-time job mainly involved handing over shifts with the store manager.

If she has the day off tonight, wouldn't the store manager be working for her?

"Xiaoxue, dating isn't just about boys pursuing girls; sometimes girls also need to take the initiative."

Faced with her surprise, Wu Lingling gave her a lecture, sounding somewhat exasperated.

The idea that women should be reserved is, in her view, the biggest deception throughout history, which has harmed countless people.

She had several relationships when she was young, all of which ended in breakups. Now, she pursued her husband and they got together, and she is living a very happy life.

"Manager, you've misunderstood. Although he and I are classmates, we only spoke for the first time today. There's really nothing between us."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixue quickly offered her explanation and clarification.

"I'm not saying you two are dating, but that if you want to be with him, you should make your move when the time is right."

Wu Lingling was taken aback by their relationship and paused for a moment, but still gave them a serious lecture.

The pursuit of happiness, like the pursuit of dreams, is an inherent right of everyone.

"Yeah, you should go see that handsome young man off, treat him to a meal, thank him properly, and if possible, the two of you can go shopping and see a movie."

Lu Yao wholeheartedly agreed with this statement and chimed in to support it.

Upon hearing her suggestion, Zhong Lixue remained silent, her mind filled with images of her dining, shopping, and watching movies with Ang Lee.

"Stop daydreaming, hurry up and chase after them, or they'll be far away."

Seeing her stunned expression, Wu Lingling, wanting to help her, directly reached out and snatched the milk tea cup and spoon that she was making from her hands.

"If I leave, will you be able to manage?"

Zhong Lixue was tempted by what they said, but she still had doubts.

"Hurry up, you still owe them a favor. What kind of talk is it to just let them leave like this?"

Seeing that she was still worried about others at a time like this, Wu Lingling could only glare at her and urge her fiercely.

"Oh, oh!" After being scolded by her, Zhong Lixue nodded and turned around and ran into the staff backstage area.

In no time, she had taken off her apron, put on her glasses, and was holding an umbrella.

"Manager, Sister Yao, thank you."

Zhong Lixue didn't just leave. Before crossing the bar, she bowed her head to thank the two older women before running off.

"He was heading towards Jiangda University."

As she ran off, Wu Lingling gave her a hint to make sure she couldn't find her.

"Xiaoxue is good in every way, except that she is too timid... I hope she can successfully win the heart of her hero."

Watching her run out of the store, Lu Yao leaned against the bar, filled with emotion.

"Great, that saves us one staff meal." Wu Lingling didn't turn around, but took over the unfinished drink making and muttered to herself.

"Sister Ling, you're just being a bit arrogant." Seeing her say that, Lu Yao was immediately amused.

How could the store manager possibly care about the cost of a staff meal? Her husband funded the milk tea shop for her to run as a hobby.

……

Holding an umbrella, Ang Lee walked out of the milk tea shop and strolled in the rain, surveying the scattered passersby.

Few people are out walking in this kind of weather; most are young couples sharing an umbrella.

Whenever someone comes into his line of sight, he will look at them, hoping to trigger the "Prince Charming's" superpower of foreseeing the princess's impending doom.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't trigger it even once.

Perhaps the determination of being a "princess" is not so easy, or perhaps accidents and dangers are always rare in daily life.

"What should we eat today?"

Turning his gaze away, Ang Lee pondered a difficult question.

When a man is acting alone, he can be perfectly content with a bowl of braised pork trotters and rice. He has no time to be picky about food; he'd rather eat his fill and get to work.

He usually does this, just grabbing whatever's convenient at the school cafeteria for lunch and dinner.

But he left school early today. Instead of going back to the school cafeteria to find something to eat, he decided to grab a bite outside.

This was a difficult question to answer. He looked around at the shops, struggling to make a decision.

To be honest, his feelings at that moment were quite complicated.

Reasoning is a man's basic logic. He could understand that Zhong had to go to work, but the fact that the heroic rescue ended so blandly still left him feeling empty inside.

"Tap tap..."

Just then, Ang Lee suddenly heard faint running sounds coming from behind.

Looking back, he saw Zhong Lixue holding an umbrella, running towards him across the wet ground.
