But this doesn’t stop the fact that there were several rows of glass slippers that belong only to her in the dressing room at home.

They stayed there quietly, mostly acting as decoration.

But Chen Jinyao didn’t think this was a waste. Rather than a waste, it was like a collection. A woman always needs one more blouse, one more skirt, or one more pair of shoes in her dresser, but there’s no helping it. Just like when you’re in your student years, you still won’t be able to help yourself from browsing the bookstore for pretty-looking books and pens even if you had plenty. You don’t have to use them, but you have to buy it because it fills you with joy.

This “glass slipper collection” was all bought by Chen Jinyao out of her own pocket.

Yan Cheng would never be stingy about buying her anything, but the only thing he refused to buy were shoes. He did buy them in the past, but once, after watching a Korean drama with her, there was one episode where the protagonist bought her boyfriend the latest brand of running shoes.

Then, during the narration, the translated subtitles wrote, They say if you buy shoes for your other half, then your other half will run away with someone else with those shoes.

Chen Jinyao remembers that clearly. Yan Cheng even scoffed at her back then, seemingly finding the thought of such superstition laughable.

Materialism isn’t a surprising thing. What’s more, sometimes, it’s better not to take the plotline of these dramas too seriously. But in the next episode, the protagonist’s boyfriend really happily cheated on her and dumped her unceremoniously.

“Tsk.” Yan Cheng frowned. He narrowed his eyes with an indiscernible look on his face.

After a moment of silence, he took out his phone and looked down, tapping on the calculator. After calculating the ones she bought him and deducting out what she bought him, he pushed the five digits in front of her eyes and said casually, “Transfer this amount to me and consider those shoes bought from your own money.”

“…” She had just praised him but now he’s already exposing his inner self. He was being so childish that it made her grit her teeth to hold herself back from beating him to death.

But the man was still insistent. “Hurry up.”

Chen Jinyao cursed him but she still transferred the money to him.

After two minutes, a ding sounded. The money was transferred over along with a few extra thousand bucks to round up the number. The transfer note was a smiley face. Chen Jinyao swept a glance at the screen, mouth twitching, and looked at Yan Cheng with a probing face.

But Yan Cheng was cool as usual. He licked his teeth and said in a low and just voice, “New Year’s money for next year.”

This time, even the corners of Chen Jinyao’s eyes were twitching. “…”

And it was from then on that Yan Cheng never bought shoes for her ever again.

Of course, he similarly would not allow her to buy him any.

She can swipe her card at will any other time, but this is the only thing that they have to pay separately.

She heard that Shao Chongsi even laughed at how petty Yan Cheng was when he found out about it.

Thinking about it now, “petty” was an understatement.

The hotel wasn’t far from Chen Jinyao’s alma mater, East China University of Medical Sciences. It was only a ten-minute walk there. Walking together in such a large group, they looked more like they were on a group tour rather than returning to their alma mater for nostalgia’s sake.

It was the middle of June and the school had already entered its final examination period.

The final exams have already ended for some majors and they have already packed up and left for home early on, so the large campus was empty and quiet. Only the fallen branches on the roads constantly made creaking sounds as they were stepped on.

“Li Dan, how’s civil work?”

The majority of those who come out of medical sciences will be engaged in their major-related careers, and it’s said that dentistry pays the best. You only live once so mundane things like these are usually what most people work towards. It was unexpected however that someone would actually end up working as a civil servant.

Being the only one who had gone down that path, she naturally received a lot of attention.

Li Dan smiled. “It’s all about making a living.”
