CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: HE WANTS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER

Lu Shinian instinctively wanted to shake off the person’s hand, but the next second, he heard a familiar voice.

"Is this the model from your store?"

It was his Ruan Ruan.

Lu Shinian subtly eased his grip, raising his gaze to look at the girl standing not far away.

Compared to reality, her features on the Virtual Star Network were sharper, and the faint baby fat on her cheeks had disappeared, with a gentle hint of coldness in her brows and eyes.

Although she still had a smile on her face, it gave off a faint sense of distance, and the look she gave him carried a hint of unfamiliar scrutiny.

Lu Shinian’s body tightened, suddenly realizing that now he was a stranger in Ruan Ruan’s eyes, and this meant he could see more sides of her.

For instance, now, instead of the scared yet ingratiating demeanor she had in front of him before, he could see her true self, somewhat distant and even could be called cold.

Lu Shinian subtly pressed his lips together, not revealing his identity.

He wanted to understand her more, and with this identity, it was perfect.

Perhaps, there could be unexpected surprises. Holding this thought, Lu Shinian unusually refrained from calling his Ruan Ruan.

Between the two observing each other, the shopkeeper holding his arm spoke up.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper said fawningly, "Look at the model in my store; isn’t the figure great, standing so straight!"

"The price is very fair too! Ten thousand Virtual Points a month."

This price couldn’t be called expensive, but it certainly wasn’t cheap.

Ten thousand Virtual Points could buy quite a number of good things.

And she only needed to rent him for two hours a day, why so expensive?

Su Ruan decided to negotiate the price, she walked in, scrutinizing Lu Shinian, trying to pick some flaws.

But the person in front of her, with his tall stature, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long straight legs, hidden beneath the black trousers, the tense muscle lines were faintly visible.

Just from the body alone, it was hard to find any flaws, but for the sake of bargaining, she had to pick out some imperfections.

Su Ruan withdrew her gaze, speaking as if in disdain: "He’s too tall; it will increase my workload."

"I’m designing uniforms, and what soldier is as tall as he is?"

The shopkeeper inspected Lu Shinian and agreed with Su Ruan’s words internally, but outwardly, he wouldn’t say so since this was a financial transaction!

"Who says soldiers can’t be this tall?"

The shopkeeper put his hands on his hips, looking justified.

"Our Commander Lu is just about his height, isn’t he?"

"If in the future your designs catch Commander Lu’s eye, you’d have to come back and thank me!"

Su Ruan: ...

It’s true; this person and Lu Shinian’s height are almost the same.

Although virtual data can be modified in the Virtual Star Network, it’s usually not more than ten percent, so this person must be pretty tall in real life too.

But Su Ruan didn’t care much about his real-life stature; she just needed him as a model in the Virtual Star Network.

Seeing this wouldn’t work, Su Ruan said, "He’s wearing a mask, I can’t see his face, and it will affect my inspiration."

The shopkeeper was even more justified, "Just imagine him as Commander Lu!"

Lu Shinian: ...

Realizing that if this conversation continued, his real identity would be exposed, he proactively spoke up: "Five thousand a month."

Su Ruan’s eyes instantly brightened.

The shopkeeper heard this and got anxious.

"No, no!"

"Eight thousand!"

"Can’t go any lower!"
