A Girl Who Wants to Be a Beneficial Person to Society

Chapter 247

After eating, Xiao Qi decided to take Jiajia shopping.

Lin Minji had accumulated a day's worth of work that was not done, so he could only go back to work, but he was in a very good mood. His roommates rarely saw him with a full smile on his face. Usually he had a stern face, even when teachers praised him, they didn't see him so happy.

There were just too many shopping malls in Meng City. Xiao Qi just chose a nearby one, Longhua Department Store.

Mainly because she was very curious, where was the prize running shoes?

Although there was an icon of running shoes on the interface, it was gray, and the item did not exist.

This was the first time the system had rewarded such a physical item. Xiao Qi guessed, did she have to buy it herself before it counted?

She was going to buy shoes anyway. She ran every day and went through shoes quickly. But she was also worried that if she bought new shoes, even if she practiced running these days, when it came to the marathon, the shoes would still be too new.

Brand new shoes can rub your feet when running, old shoes are better.

Longhua Department Store was huge, with fast consumer brands, Uniqlo, ZARA, H&M, probably also because there was a nearby university, these brands could all be considered good value for money. Especially ZARA and H&M, they kept up with fashion trends. The quality of the clothes was average, but the styles were very trendy. With some effort you could pick some very nice and unique outfits.

After entering such fast fashion clothing stores, shopping felt completely different from buying clothes in Lvshan City. Here it was like a self-service supermarket, choosing clothes very freely, you could just take the nice ones to try on, without feeling awkward with one or two service staff following you if you didn't buy anything.

The only problem was there were too many people, possibly also because it was National Day, in addition to local people in Meng City, there were many tourists too.

Jiajia and Xiao Qi took turns picking out clothes to help hold places in line, which saved some time.

The two bought two or three sets of clothes each.

Jiajia didn't have much concept, Xiao Qi was quite busy, and didn't often come to Meng City. It was changing seasons again, so she picked a little more.

Then Xiao Qi went to Uniqlo to get some basic pieces. After being with Honey for a while, she felt like she had learned a little about looking at fabrics and such. She felt Uniqlo's clothes were a little better in terms of quality and so on.

At least some of the clothes wouldn't rip like the ones at the other store if she pulled on them a little hard.

Then they went upstairs to buy shoes, there was a special sports store on the fifth floor.

Xiao Qi and Jiajia walked around together, and finally at the Nike store, she saw a pair of shoes.

In the corner, not obvious, looking a little dirty, it seemed to have originally been white but accumulated dust from sitting there so long.

But Xiao Qi's heart beat a little faster, she felt like this was the pair of shoes.

She asked how much they were, she didn't expect these shoes to be on sale, buy one get one half off, but after the discount they were still 1,800 yuan, no wonder they were in the corner, even the shoelaces looked old.

She tried them on, they fit perfectly. The shoe upper was very soft, the inner lining of the shoe felt very smooth, no rubbing at all, it wrapped her foot shape very nicely.

The elasticity of the sole was also great, wearing them made her feel like jumping around.

The sole was also very stable, not like those dancing shoes that were extra thin.

The breathability overall was very good, the shoes were also very light, they didn't feel heavy when held in the hand.

It was as if they were custom designed for her. Her feet were wrapped very comfortably.

She bought them without hesitation.

Sure enough, after paying, the icon for those shoes lit up on the interface.

Xiao Qi felt this kind of reward method was pretty good, very natural.

Because autumn and winter were approaching quickly, Xiao Qi also chose a pair of short leather boots.

Probably influenced by her parents, she just felt that leather goods were better, always feeling they were higher quality.

But the little boots were not as expensive as the running shoes.

Jiajia didn't consider money at all. She picked out a beautiful pair of sandals, shiny ones, with little decorations like gelatin jello on top. She didn't feel like it was already autumn in Lvshan City at all. Sandals like these probably wouldn't get worn much.

She just wanted to wear these shoes walking on the beach, stepping in the sand, it would definitely look beautiful.

The two had done quite a bit of shopping. Xiao Qi called a Shenzhou car again to take them back to school.

In the car, Jiajia tilted her head and fell asleep.

Xiao Qi didn't sleep, after all it was a strange car with a strange driver, she wasn't as carefree as Jiajia. She turned on a speech audio file on her phone and listened seriously with one earbud in.

There was the whistling sound of cars passing by outside the window, and a rosy little cheek leaning on her shoulder.

The feeling of deep night and quiet, Xiao Qi listened to the speech coming through her earbuds, this time it was a speech by a man with a broken leg, it seemed he made a living by giving speeches now. He spoke very passionately, the first time Xiao Qi listened she was also very moved, feeling that even though this person's body was like this, only half, he was still so inspirational.

But after listening many times, she started to feel tired.

It was probably similar to the way of dealing with people and feelings.

At first hearing someone close praise someone, she would also be curious to learn more, and then feel they were really amazing, but after hearing it many times she became numb to it. If some bad news suddenly came out about that person one day, she would suddenly have a bad feeling.

Xiao Qi still didn't fully understand these complex emotional changes, but she would remind herself, do more and show off less, focus on the fundamentals.

When they arrived at the school, Jiajia groggily got out of the car. Xiao Qi took today's haul, and the two went back to the dorm together.

After taking a shower Jiajia finally woke up again. After shopping all day she really was very tired, too lazy to even move.

Xiao Qi looked at her step count - women could walk over 20,000 steps shopping, no wonder Jiajia was exhausted. She still needed about 13,000 steps to reach her goal, so she went for a run wearing the new running shoes she bought today to break them in.

After changing shoes and clothes, Xiao Qi went downstairs.

Jiajia couldn't come along to take photos today, soaking her feet. She was lying in front of the computer in the teacher's dorm sorting through the photos and videos from today.

Xiao Qi really felt like running today. And not just around the dorms, as she ran she went outside. The new running shoes fit her feet very well, she felt like she was running lighter and faster than usual. Indeed, upgrading her equipment seemed to have increased her stats, making her whole being seem to have increased a level.

Running around campus gave her a different feeling.

Compared to Qingmeng University, Enhua University was like a child that hadn't grown up yet. The trees were all small, transplanted, but it was very spacious everywhere, open and broad, leaving lots of room for new developments.

Xiao Qi envied Qingmeng University's reputation, and the strong academic atmosphere inside, but coming back to Enhua, she still felt more intimate, liking the openness and grandeur here, also the inclusiveness. She would probably feel more stressed at Qingmeng with the pressure being too great, but Enhua was relaxing, the feeling of autonomous learning and striving made her feel very comfortable too.

The place you're in may not be the best, but it's suitable for you.

Xiao Qi suddenly had this feeling.

The little seed in her heart seemed to have broken through another layer of its wrapping, growing upward a bit more.

The night breeze was very warm, not cool or hot, just right.
