Actually, right now, Magong Tong was——

Super! Ultra! Nervous!

She wanted Beichuan Si to see her shrewd and competent side, but on the other hand, the nervousness in her heart was leaking out uncontrollably like water spilling from an uncapped bottle.

She was never this nervous when dealing with other clients!

Magong Tong clenched her fists.

"Ahem."

Beichuan Si coughed dryly.

Yet Magong Tong was immersed in her own thoughts.

Originally, the reason she had come to work was to have an equal, normal exchange with Beichuan Si, but she became nervous the moment she saw him——

That was practically working for nothing!

Although, working for her own family couldn't really be considered working for nothing...

Beichuan Si coughed again.

But Magong Tong still felt somewhat discontent... after all, she had come here to work just to interact normally with Beichuan Si.

With this strange feeling, Magong Tong continued to lead Beichuan Si forward.

Then——

Beichuan Si stopped in his tracks and asked in a steady voice, "Haven't we already passed it?"

"Eh?" Magong Tong's eyes widened as she realized.

She had actually already led Beichuan Si past the electronics counter.

Even Beichuan Si had seen the brand-new Switch displayed on the game stand.

But Magong Tong was still taking him further in.

Just to save a young girl's fragile pride, Beichuan Si didn't point it out directly, only giving light coughs along the way, hoping to draw some attention from Magong Tong.

What Beichuan Si did not expect was that Magong Tong completely disregarded him and continued inward.

In just a short time, they had almost reached the food section.

Would there be a Switch for sale here?

Truth be told, Beichuan Si didn't believe it.

"So, so sorry!" Magong Tong hurriedly bowed her head and apologized to Beichuan Si repeatedly.

Seeing Magong Tong like this, Beichuan Si slightly shook his head and waved his hand nonchalantly, "No problem, and about the Switch..."

"I'll take Beichuan to it right away!" Magong Tong turned around sharply, taking Beichuan Si back to the gaming area.

After some negotiations, Beichuan Si spent a sum of money and got the Switch console.

During this time, he also explained to Magong Tong why he needed the Switch console.

"So, it is because of Sister Shihui that you're buying it..." Magong Tong hesitated with her hands in front of her, "Um... if Beichuan doesn't mind, I can pay for the Switch. After all, it is for Sister Shihui..."

Should one say that the rich really are worthy of their wealth?

A regular high school student purchasing a Switch might break the bank, but Magong Tong readily shifted towards the financial aspect.

But...

"Speaking of which... this supermarket is owned by Magong's family, right?" Beichuan Si said with a peculiar expression.

He vaguely remembered Magong Tong mentioning this before.

"Er——" Magong Tong's small frame stiffened.

She averted her gaze, answering somewhat awkwardly, "That's right... and for that reason the owner does take good care of me... but it's somewhat inappropriate to give away items from the store, so I'm planning to buy it at market price."

As she spoke, she began to reach for her wallet.

However, her movement was quickly stopped by Beichuan Si.

"It was just a casual inquiry, Magong doesn't need to worry about it," Beichuan Si said with a wave of his hand: "I can afford a Switch myself, and since Shenzhu has been a great help to me as well, buying this for her isn't a big deal."

Indeed, Shenzhu Shihui had helped Beichuan Si a lot, so he wouldn't skimp on just a Switch.

"Is that so...?" Magong Tong nodded thoughtfully.

"Yeah." Beichuan Si responded lightly, and then checked the time.

It was almost 8:30 PM, not early by any means, and he thought he could go dine at any nearby restaurant... he should be able to get home before 9:00 PM.

With that in mind, Beichuan Si didn't hesitate to speak:

"Magong must still be busy with work, right? I won't disturb you any further."

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Magong Tong hastily say:

"Please wait a moment, Beichuan."

Hmm?

Beichuan Si stopped, turning back to look at Magong Tong.

Under his gaze, Magong Tong looked somewhat embarrassed as she lowered her head, taking about ten seconds before speaking, "I'm about to finish my shift... could I ask Beichuan to wait a little longer? I have some matters to discuss with you."

She had some matters to discuss?

Beichuan Si instinctively glanced at Magong Tong's expression.

He noticed that in addition to her shyness, there was also a hint of unease.

He stayed silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Magong Yongshi and Shenzhu Shihui had looked out for him more than once in the spiritual realm, so naturally, he felt obliged to take good care of their sister, Magong Tong; it was another way of returning the favor.

Since only by repaying that favor could he expect their help in the future, this was also a sort of mutual benefit.

But first——

"Could I grab something to eat at the restaurant over there first?" Beichuan Si pointed towards a restaurant not far from the Magong Family supermarket.

He hadn't had dinner yet, and although he could handle it, it was still safer to eat something.

"Ah..." Magong Tong blushed slightly, "Please, please feel free, Beichuan! I'll be right there."

After leaving those words, she bowed to Beichuan Si and then hurried back into the supermarket.
