This was a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen, with a delicate appearance, her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a floral dress, and carrying a cute bear bag at her waist.
After asking her question, the girl’s gaze was fixed on Jian Sheng, her eyes practically sparkling.
Seeing a customer arrive so quickly, Xiao Yu Feng hurried forward.
“You have good taste, little sister. We just opened today, and our first customer gets a buy-one-get-one-free offer!”
The girl’s gaze was momentarily pulled away from Jian Sheng, and when she turned to look at Xiao Yu Feng, she was stunned again.
“Wow, so handsome!”
Xiao Yu Feng’s forced smile froze on his face.
—What a beautiful passerby! I’m in love!
—This is hilarious. Is this sister not a fangirl? She stared at Sheng Bao first, and now she can’t take her eyes off Xiao Yu.
—Speaking of which, doesn’t this sister even recognize Xiao Yu?
—The sister is probably not of legal age yet and is still in school, so it’s normal she doesn’t know Xiao Yu Feng.
—I’m so jealous that she can get so close to Xiao Yu.
—New fans are still jealous, while old fans are already calling for cabs to try and bump into them.
Xiao Yu Feng suppressed the urge to turn and leave, and then, with a smile, asked again, “So, little sister, do you want to buy a painting?”
The girl glanced at the only finished painting of a cabbage placed on the ground, her eyes showing a strange expression.
But in just a moment, her attention was once again captured by the little girl sitting cross-legged on the ground, propping her chin with one hand and holding a brush with the other.
This time, the girl simply squatted down and reached out, intending to touch the girl’s face, which looked so soft and pleasant to the touch.
Sensing the sudden pounce, Jian Sheng instinctively leaned back.
The girl exclaimed, “Be careful!”
As Jian Sheng’s upper body leaned back until it was almost parallel to the ground, she finally saw clearly that her attacker was a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Damn it, someone’s always coveting this ancestor’s face!
Straightening up again, Jian Sheng wrinkled her small nose, tilted her little face up, and turned her head away, leaving behind only a disdainful snort from her nostrils.
Jian Sheng, who had already turned her head, did not see that the girl, who was about to look at Xiao Yu Feng again, suddenly had her eyes light up. She cupped her chin with both hands, a mischievous, aunt-like smile spreading across her face.
—Holy cow, did Sheng Bao learn dancing? Her core strength was so strong during that dodge.
—How many people have ravaged Sheng Bao’s face for her to dodge so skillfully?
—Ahhh! How can you be so cute, baby! That娇 and soft snort, it’s just perfect!
—The sense of immersion is strong. I almost reached out to the screen. If I went there myself, I probably wouldn’t be any better than this girl.
Xiao Yu Feng: “……”
“Sister, do you still want to buy a painting?”
Xiao Yu Feng asked expressionlessly, successfully drawing the girl’s attention to him for two seconds, after which the girl returned her gaze to the little cute baby sitting upright.
Another two seconds passed, and the girl softly said, “Ah?”
“What did you just say.”
Xiao Yu Feng endured the urge to vent his frustration, silently chanting:
‘The customer is God, the customer is God! I still need God to earn my travel expenses. I can’t scare her away like this. If I scare her away, I won’t have money to go to the new home.’
After reinforcing his psychological defenses several times, Xiao Yu Feng repeated the line that had become tiresome to him.
The girl tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion:
“If you want me to buy a painting, you should show me all the paintings to choose from, shouldn’t you? How can I choose with just one cabbage?”
Xiao Yu Feng’s expression stiffened again: “We paint and sell on the spot.”
Although this sounded unreliable, since the customer had asked, he had no choice but to continue.
To his surprise, the girl was not only not displeased but her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Then I’ll take all the paintings you make today! I’ll watch you paint!”
Xiao Yu Feng: “…Sister, aren’t you going to ask the price?”
The girl looked at him vigilantly: “You’re not going to take advantage of my innocence and sell me one painting for tens of thousands, are you?”
“That would be consumer fraud, and I’ll report you to the Administration for Market Regulation.”
Xiao Yu Feng’s expression was blank; he didn’t know whether to call this girl smart or foolish.
—This is hilarious. Xiao Yu is being played, he doesn’t even bother with his expressions anymore.
—Is this girl actually an actress hired by the show? How can her thought process be so quirky?
—This girl has some brains, but not much.
The amusement in the comments continued as Xiao Yu Feng, with a stiff face, discussed the price of the paintings with Jian Sheng.
The older and younger one put their heads together, whispering and calculating the travel expenses needed for their journey.
The girl wasn’t unhappy at all, and she consciously kept her distance, watching the scene from afar with an unceasing aunt-like smile.
“Sheng Sheng, you painted it yourself, how much do you think it should cost?”
“How much will it cost to get from here to the bus station in the south of the city?”
“It’s only a few yuan by bus, but I don’t know the way, so I might get lost. A taxi might cost tens of yuan?”
“To be safe, let’s estimate the fare at a hundred, and if it’s not enough, I’ll sell more paintings on the way.”
“How long does it take you to paint one? Can you maintain the speed you had while painting the cabbage?”
“It’s a bit difficult. The cabbage was the simplest thing I learned in my first class, but I only paint ink wash paintings, so it won’t take much time.”
“This sister just directly said she’d buy all the paintings. She looks quite rich, should we price them a bit higher?”
“I haven’t sold any before. Brother, how much do you think is appropriate?”
“Twenty? But if we earn a hundred yuan and leave, even with the buy-one-get-one-free for the first customer that I mentioned when I brought people in, we’d only need to paint six paintings. Isn’t that too few? It feels like we’re ripping people off.”
“Then ten yuan?”
“This price should be acceptable. It won’t take you long to paint eleven paintings, and if she can’t accept the price, you can keep painting, and eventually, some rich sucker will come and buy them.”
Listening to them secretly plotting loudly through their earpieces, the viewers in the live broadcast:
—I’m on my way to give you money, am I the sucker?
—Does the pretty little sister know she’s about to be milked like a leek?
—If I remember correctly, Xiao Yu originally said it was the first customer who got buy-one-get-one-free, not the first painting, right? Why has it changed now?
—Understandably, if the sister was just playing around, it’s fine, but if she’s serious, we can’t let Sheng Bao send paintings all day for free, can we?
—Pfft, why does it sound so wrong when you guys say it?
—Hilarious, the sister is too captivated by the beauty of Xiao Yu and Sheng Bao to care about these details.
—Although I don’t understand traditional Chinese painting, I think the paintings Sheng Sheng made look quite good. Ten yuan each is a bit of a markup, but it’s not that expensive, right?
—I agree. With Sheng Bao’s added charm, I would definitely buy a painting for ten yuan.
—But Sheng Bao just said that this was the most basic thing she learned in her first class. She can’t guarantee that all the subsequent paintings will be of the same quality, can she?
Those who had previously said it was worth it fell silent.
At this moment, Xiao Yu Feng and Jian Sheng had finished their discussion and settled on a price.
Xiao Yu Feng said, “Randomly painted pictures are ten yuan each, specified content is twenty-one yuan, and the first one is buy-one-get-one-free.”
After hearing this, the girl decisively produced a card: “I’ll take all the paintings today!”
