Chapter 57: Chapter 0057: Lingerie Store

"Haha, it looks like Tang Ming shamelessly followed Liu Mengting and them—this guy has a thick face. He definitely got rejected by me and then switched targets, what a shameless move." Xia Wei’er suddenly realized.

In the middle of the snack street, there were many accessory and souvenir shops, and recently a women’s exclusive lingerie store had opened. After finishing her snacks, Li Xiaoli directly dragged Liu Mengting to the lingerie store ahead.

"Meng Meng, the lingerie from this brand is so pretty. I saw a girl wearing it during gym class, and her figure looked so much better instantly."

Li Xiaoli said excitedly.

"Really?"

Liu Mengting was somewhat skeptical.

"Why would I lie to you? Come on, try some on inside. The items in this lingerie store really do help a lot with a girl’s figure. Haven’t you always wanted to make your bust look bigger? Wear their lingerie, and I guarantee it’ll look much bigger than before."

Li Xiaoli giggled as she spoke.

Liu Mengting blushed, looked at the shop’s decor, which indeed appeared quite upscale, and seeing that many girls were inside, she believed it somewhat, "Alright, I’ll try some on later."

As the two of them chatted, they completely forgot about Tang Ming following behind. At that moment, Tang Ming, holding several mutton and spicy skewers, was eating happily. Seeing Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting enter a store, he thought it was another snack shop and quickly chased after them.

The inside of the store was spacious and warmly lit, with many girls picking various bras and panties. One fashionable young woman in her twenties, wearing heavy makeup, was standing by the door, hesitating over which pair of shorts to choose.

Tang Ming, eating his skewers, walked in, threw away the long bamboo sticks he was holding, and looked for Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting, who had gone inside to check out some unusual bras.

Only then did Tang Ming realize this was not a snack store and was about to leave, but the woman holding the shorts suddenly asked,

"Xiaofang, can you help me pick the sexier one?"

As she spoke, she reached out to grab someone, and it just so happened to be Tang Ming’s shoulder. Tang Ming wanted to cry but had no tears; talk about frustration—he had accidentally run into a lingerie store, and the two who led the way didn’t even give him a heads-up, leading to this embarrassing situation.

The flustered Tang Ming could only respond,

"Sister, you’re beautiful, just buy whichever one you like."

The woman turned her head, saw that she was holding onto Tang Ming, and immediately turned pale, letting out a sharp scream, "Ah!"

Tang Ming quickly ran out of the store and stood by the roadside, patting his chest, thinking to himself, "What the hell is this? Last time I was stopped, and this time I followed them in and made such a joke. Looks like I need to be more careful when shopping with these two beauties in the future. Luckily this is just a women’s lingerie store. If it had been a women’s bathhouse and I had followed them in without paying attention, the joke would have been even bigger."

After twenty minutes, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli came out. As soon as they saw Tang Ming, they burst into laughter. They had seen the scene of Tang Ming running out earlier from not so far away and found it quite amusing.

Tang Ming approached them as Li Xiaoli was still covering her mouth, giggling. Tang Ming watched her chest heave as she laughed, and asked, "Can you give me a heads-up next time? It’s so embarrassing to just barge in like that. Besides, we’re together, it doesn’t look good on you either, does it?"

"Okay, next time we’ll give you a heads-up to prevent you from running away in panic."

Li Xiaoli handed Tang Ming all the paper bags she was carrying, saying, "Carry these for me."

"What?"

Tang Ming hesitated, saying, "Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

"What’s the big deal? I, the young miss, am tired, and you’re not even willing to carry something for me?"

Li Xiaoli pouted while Liu Mengting frowned nearby. Intimate apparel like this, how could they let Tang Ming carry it?

"Sure, carrying stuff for a beauty is my honor."

Tang Ming happily took over a few paper bags, fully aware of his role as a follower, and then asked:

"Now that we’ve bought stuff and had snacks, can we go home?"

"It’s still early, there are still lots of delicious things over there. We haven’t even had dinner yet. If we don’t fill up now, we’ll end up snacking later, and that’ll just make us gain weight."

Li Xiaoli pointed towards the front of the snack street: "It’s okay if I get a bit fatter, just not the chest!"

"Uh..."

Tang Ming didn’t know how to respond.

"Xiaoli, don’t talk nonsense, Tang Ming is here!"

Liu Mengting reminded her.

"Oh, Tang Ming isn’t an outsider, and isn’t he our bodyguard? It’s fine."

Li Xiaoli said carelessly, "So, are we going to eat or not?"

"Let’s go then!"

Liu Mengting thought about it and realized it made sense; better to eat their fill and go home. Although the snack street’s quality wasn’t the most reliable, eating there occasionally wasn’t a big deal. For Tang Ming, as long as he had enough to eat, where it happened wasn’t a big issue.

"Tang Ming, you eat a lot. You won’t be full following us around. Better find your own place to eat. We’ll meet later at the Peninsula Café ahead."

Liu Mengting knew about Tang Ming’s appetite and finally came up with a solution after thinking for a while.

"Oh, alright then."

Tang Ming was a bit disappointed, as it meant no one would be paying for his dinner.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli linked arms and walked ahead, chatting and laughing, while Tang Ming headed to a rice noodle shop nearby, where the rice noodles were cheap. With his appetite, five yuan a bowl, about ten bowls would be enough to fill him.

The noodle stall didn’t have a storefront but was set up on a flat piece of ground. Despite the simplistic environment, it attracted many customers. Tang Ming took a seat on one side and immediately ordered two bowls.

The rice noodles required a bit of a wait. Tang Ming’s eyes wandered over the bustling night scene within the snack street, slowly getting lost in it.

"Where abroad could you have such a comfortable life, quietly enjoying a meal without worrying about gunfire and bullets?"

While waiting for the rice noodles, Tang Ming reflected on how much easier life was now, only those who had experienced life-and-death situations could truly appreciate the value of a peaceful and quiet life.

"If it could stay like this forever, it wouldn’t be too bad."

Tang Ming thought about his past life, although thrilling, it became tiring after a while. Only in tranquility could he think more.

"No wonder the old man said if he ever got rich he would bring him out to enjoy life, the current days are indeed much more comfortable than before."

Tang Ming watched the many beautiful women passing by, each wearing sky-high heels and extremely revealing clothes, almost drawing the eye as if they wore nothing, a stark contrast to his past life’s monochrome.

Tang Ming had also stayed in some of China’s major cities before, but it was always a brief visit, never staying long in one city, let alone integrating into it and living the life of an ordinary person.
