The temperature gradually rises, the morning coolness has faded away, and the sun hangs high in the sky, bringing the essence of a scorching summer day—it's hot, unbearably hot.
Lin and Mengyuan stand in the shadow beneath the bus stop, avoiding the blazing sunlight.
By this time, the work hours have already passed, and the old street is empty. In such heat, no one wants to go out, except for two oddballs.
One is Lin, who is determined to cultivate Dream Source, and the other is naturally Dream Source Sister, who is full of curiosity about this world.
……
Dream Source holds a popsicle in her hand, her pink tongue licking it repeatedly like a cat drinking milk. With her oversized clothes, it gives the impression that this girl was casually picked up by Lin on the street.
"Boyfriend, this popsicle is really delicious! I've never had anything like this before!"
After finishing her popsicle, Dream Source lingers over the wooden stick, continuing to gaze at Lin with longing eyes.
"Oh!"
Lin Lian doesn't even turn her head, just looking in the direction of Zipline.
In fact, Lin Xin is secretly mumbling: you only have three memories in total; you've only had a cup of sour plum soup—what could possibly be so good?
Having sold half of her cuteness without getting a glance from Lin, Dream Source can't hold back anymore. She reaches out to tug at Lin's sleeve and tries hard to widen her eyes.
Her amber eyes sparkle with light, blinking rapidly and exuding a striking charm.
But unfortunately, Moe Source is challenging the icy demeanor of Lin. She merely turns her head slightly and lazily asks, "What do you want?"
The tone is flat enough to drive anyone crazy, automatically immune to Dream Source's cuteness attack.
"I still want to eat..."
"No way!"
"Why? Boyfriend, do you hate me now..."
"Eating too much will cause a stomachache, so no more eating!"
In the distance, the Zipline rushed over, bringing a gust of warm wind that blew up Lin's bangs and stirred the wide sleeves of Dream Source.
The two stood under the bus stop sign, like a pair of celestial lovers. Their simple conversation warmed the heart, reflecting a boy's clumsy care for a girl.
...
"The bus is here, let's get on!"
Clearly, Lin did not want to continue discussing this issue with Dream Source. He had vaguely noticed that Dream Source had a hidden foodie trait, with her own obsession for delicious food.
Without waiting for Dream Source to respond, Lin reached out and pulled her smooth hand, naturally leading her forward.
"Stay close to me and don't wander off; if you get lost, no one will come looking for you!"
Lin's flat tone finally showed some variation, filled with strong admonition. Unknowingly, he had placed Dream Source in a very special position—behind him, where she needed care and protection.
As Lin's words echoed in her ears, Dream Source looked at his back with the tousled hair flying in the wind. For a moment, she was entranced; the pure-hearted girl did not quite understand what love was. Yet just moments ago, a strange feeling had bubbled up inside her, warming her all over.
It felt like she had eaten a piece of milk candy, sweeter than the popsicle from earlier.
"Did you hear me?"
Lin waited for half a moment without receiving an answer from Dream Source. He turned his head to reveal his wooden-like profile. Sunlight flickered beside him.
"I got it, boyfriend!"
Dream Source smiled sweetly and tightly grasped Lin's sturdy hand. The two walked into the Zipline one after another.
"Ding! Attention passengers, the next stop is Southwest Bridge Road..."
The prompt sound of the Zipline echoed as it continued to move forward.
Today, there seemed to be an unusually large number of people. The usually empty Zipline was now filled to capacity, with hardly any empty seats in sight.
After searching through two carriages, Lin finally found a single row seat. He squeezed Dream Source into the seat and stood beside her, shielding her from the surging crowd.
The window was open, and Dream Source gazed outside with curious eyes, a smile spreading across her face.
Lin couldn't help but smile at Dream Source's excited cheeks.
"Wow! The Zipline is so high! The city is so beautiful!"
Dream Source exclaimed like a child, marveling at the view. This was her first time riding the Zipline, and she was naturally filled with wonder.
Passengers nearby cast curious glances, speculating about where this exceptionally beautiful white-haired girl came from.
"An alien, so ignorant..."
Feeling those intense stares, Lin couldn't help but turn his head away, appearing to avoid the awkwardness. However, his smile remained, and he leaned closer to Dream Source, blocking those annoying gazes.
...
The distance they needed to travel wasn't far; it was only two stops. If it weren't for the heat, they could have walked there.
Not far from the old street was a large shopping mall. In fact, it was more of a self-produced and self-sold integrated store, with shops located close to the factories.
In this era, shopping had become less popular unless it was for girls looking to unwind.
Most stores sold their products online after production, and each shop had a small Noodle Shop to cater to certain special needs.
This could be a Pedestrian Street, crowded with Noodle Shops, where you can find both high-end and low-end options.
Of course, these are divided into areas, with the High-End Area in the center and other scattered Noodle Shops on the outskirts.
After getting off the car, Lin Ye didn't linger outside but directly pulled Dream Source towards the High-End Area.
The so-called High-End Area is only considered high-end for ordinary people; for someone like Lin, who has millions, it is still affordable. More importantly, Lin has a belief.
The more you spend, the more it stimulates your desire to earn money and develop your abilities. Therefore, he never fusses over money.
Money? Spend it and earn it back later!
Fortunately, Lin is a talented chef; otherwise, with this mindset, he would definitely be living a life of feast or famine.
As they walked along, the various Noodle Shops dazzled Moe Source. She felt like a puppet being pulled by Lin, stumbling into this "New Territory."
Eventually, Lin brought her to what looked like the largest Noodle Shop, which had some strange symbols painted on it that Lin couldn't understand.
"This one will do; it looks pretty good."
Muttering softly, Lin led Dream Source into the shop.
The purchasing process was nothing special, except for the Saleswoman's strange gaze at Dream Source; after all, Dream Source's outfit was quite odd.
Whenever Dream Source showed interest in a piece of clothing, Lin wouldn't even glance at it; he would just grab it and throw it to the sales assistant, flatly saying, "Wrap it up."
"Wrap it up." "Wrap it up." "These few as well!"
In no time, Lin's repeated phrase "wrap it up" became a catchy tune.
Dream Source's inner shopping mania was finally triggered by Lin. In just over ten minutes, she learned this magical phrase.
"Pack it up!" "Pack it up!" "I want it all! Pack it all for me!"
Holding a mountain of clothes in her arms, she tossed them into the Sales Assistant's embrace, her face blooming with joy. That sweet voice made one feel weak in the knees.
After seeing those dozens of pieces of clothing, Lin finally realized something was off. He cracked a smile and secretly picked up a piece of clothing to check the price tag.
"Ten thousand?" he mumbled, picking up a few more items to inspect. "Twenty thousand?" "This one's even pricier, thirty-eight thousand?"
After examining several pieces, Lin let out a sigh of relief; these clothes weren't too expensive. They weren't crafted by some renowned master; they were just ordinary high-end garments made with pure craftsmanship.
When he realized he could afford these clothes, Lin straightened his back and pulled out his Identity Crystal Card, saying calmly, "Charge it to my card, please."
As a result, the Sales Assistant's face lit up with joy, the cashier beamed with happiness, and even the store manager rushed out from the break room, bowing and smiling broadly.
What a beautiful world this is, where everyone smiles at you like flowers.
"Being rich feels so good!"
Scratching his chin, Lin sighed softly. Today, he finally experienced the luxurious lifestyle once again, completely breaking free from the hardships of his old life in the alley.
Today was truly a lucky day—he had escaped poverty and singledom!
