Since the system became my girlfriend

Chapter 115 Shopping

"Since we're going shopping, of course we should go to Tianjie!" Feng Lixi said with a smile. Tianjie is the commercial core of the entire B City, and it can even be said to be the most prosperous pedestrian street in the surrounding area.

“Okay!” Su Rui nodded. If Feng Lixi had specifically mentioned a luxury store, Su Rui might not have been able to find it. But if she mentioned Tianjie, even people who had just moved to B City would have heard of it, let alone Su Rui, who was born and raised in B City.

However, driving in the city presents a problem: whether you drive a top-of-the-line sports car or a basic car that can be bought with two months' salary, your experience is pretty much the same. In this congested city, reaching speeds of 40 km/h is a luxury, so even the best sports car is useless.

Of course, if you're looking to turn heads or feel superior, then a sports car is the best choice no matter how congested the area is.

"Seriously, City B has been congested for almost a hundred years, hasn't it? The city has undergone dozens of renovations, but it hasn't made any difference!" Su Rui habitually started his rant.

"..." Feng Lixi couldn't give a proper answer to Su Rui's complaints. She couldn't even understand it herself. In today's world of highly developed artificial intelligence, designing a transportation network is actually not difficult. She had consulted the data of City B, which contained no less than a dozen excellent plans for the transformation of the transportation network. However, these plans were ultimately shelved and not implemented.

The final solutions chosen for each renovation were all drawn up by human engineers, and these engineers were not even the most outstanding ones.

Instead of using a superior plan, they chose this one that looked like it came from an amateur. Feng Lixi couldn't understand it at all. But if Boss Su knew the inside story, he would definitely look at Feng Lixi like she was a child and say: "Girl, you're too naive. You've perfected the city plan all at once, so what excuse will you use for future renovations? Without renovations, where will the projects come from? Without projects…"

Humans are far more complex than machines; for them, the optimal solution may not actually be the optimal solution!

An hour later, Su Rui and Feng Lixi finally arrived near Tianjie. Su Rui then parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and the two of them walked towards the pedestrian street.

"What do you want to buy?" Feng Lixi asked Su Rui.

"I don't think I need anything." Su Rui shrugged. He stayed at home all year round and didn't need anything at all.

"Alright then, let's go shopping first." Feng Lixi smiled and took Su Rui's arm. Judging from her posture, she planned to walk from one end of the street to the other.

Men and women are very different when it comes to shopping. Men only go shopping when they have a real need, so they go straight to their goal, buy what they need, and leave. But women are different. They may not actually have a need when they go shopping, but as they go, they will discover that they do.

Actually, shopping was a first for Feng Lixi, so she was full of curiosity about everything.

Although Feng Lixi had already found all the information about shopping online, she was still captivated by the novel experience when she actually walked into each store while holding Su Rui's arm.

Wow! Do I look good in this?

"Brother Rui, what do you think of this?"

……

Since we were going shopping, women's clothing stores were a must. Feng Lixi seemed to have found an ocean of joy. She plunged in and never came out. Although it was her first time shopping, Feng Lixi was completely captivated!

Unlike most girls, Feng Lixi doesn't care about pretty clothes. These clothes mean nothing to her, and she wouldn't feel uncomfortable even if she wasn't wearing any clothes.

The pleasure she enjoyed while shopping came entirely from Su Rui's company and the joy of sharing every little thing with him. This was the factor that Feng Lixi was so captivated by.

As a super artificial intelligence that has awakened self-awareness, nothing external can really attract Feng Lixi's attention. The only thing that can fascinate her is that kind of emotional, unprecedented experience!

For example, right now, Feng Lixi tries on more than a dozen outfits in every brand store. She's not particularly interested in the clothes themselves; what she cares about is how amazed Su Rui looks when she puts on the beautiful clothes. Seeing the appreciation, happiness, and even a hint of desire in Su Rui's eyes gives Feng Lixi a great sense of satisfaction.

As an AI that longs to become human and hopes to have human emotions, Feng Lixi particularly enjoys the emotional exchange with Su Rui when shopping, which is why she is so enthusiastic about shopping.

"This looks good. I prefer you in this one. It suits your skin tone perfectly!" As a womanizer, it's normal for Boss Su to accompany women shopping.

Therefore, he would never make any basic mistakes, because he knew that when a girl asked him if this dress looked good, or which of several dresses looked good, she actually thought this one was pretty good. So if he said it didn't look good, he would definitely be walking into a trap.

Of course, if you say they all look good, the girl will think you're just brushing her off, which is also a wrong answer. So, if the girl chooses one item, just praise it. If she chooses several items, just pick one at random and then lavish praise on its merits.

Of course, if your wallet is deep enough, after you've praised this item and the girl decides to buy it, you can casually mention that although this one is the most suitable for her, the others are also good, and she looks good in them too, so why not just buy them all?

With Mr. Su's deliberate cooperation, Feng Lixi's shopping experience was naturally perfect, and the girl's heart was fully satisfied!

As the saying goes, a woman dresses up for the one she loves. Wearing beautiful clothes and being praised by someone she likes would make any girl happy, let alone a complete newbie like Feng Lixi.

As Mr. Su strolled around, his shopping bags piled up, but his wallet grew increasingly empty. After just three women's clothing stores, he estimated that he would be completely broke after another six months of living expenses.

"Sigh! I really shouldn't have bothered to scam money from this rich girl..." Su Rui sighed inwardly. His savings over the years probably didn't even amount to her monthly allowance. It was indeed beyond Su Rui's financial means to offer to pay the bill.
