Liu Chao's words genuinely surprised the female shop owner.
Then, Liu Chao went ahead, took out his phone, and paid. And surprisingly, the payment went through.
Liu Chao was thrilled and urged the shop owner to pack up the shoes for him, looking impatient.
But just then, Li Lingyu's phone beeped with a notification of a deduction.
Li Lingyu quickly grabbed her phone to check—it turned out the payment had come from her account.
Only then did she recall that Liu Chao had activated the "intimate pay" feature on her phone earlier. Previously, Liu Chao would always ask directly for things, so Li Lingyu had forgotten about this arrangement.
As soon as Liu Chao realized what was happening, he grabbed the shoes and tried to run.
Wang Xinxin, who was chatting with the female college student and was close to the entrance, rushed to stop Liu Chao.
"Get out of my way!" Liu Chao yelled as he attempted to shove Wang Xinxin aside.
