Chapter 182: "The necktie is a set with the dress." (3)
The dress that the Art Committee girl had pointed out was beige. Its design was overall very simple and suitable for students their age, but also a little bit European retro style in some of the details. It was somewhere between a casual dress and a gown. The dress, adorned with plaid decorations, lace and bows made it look playful and lively without being too overly old-fashioned.
It was quite pretty.
Gu Xi smiled and thought to herself.
Gu Xi tried it on and made up her mind. Okay, I will take this one!
I think that will work!
Me too! Lets go with it!
Oh right, this plaid pattern seemed to be a series. Lets pick up some matching accessories too.
Right, right, right. We will need those as well.
As such, the three started looking at accessories.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
What about this one? Its so cute. Dong Mingming grabbed a butterfly hairband with the same design and asked Gu Xi and the Art Committee girl.
Looking at the enormous butterfly hairband, Gu Xis lips twitched.
It was cute, but
Its a bit over the top. Especially when the hairband came with a pair of cat ears.
What about this one? This butterfly is smaller.
Nevertheless, after hesitating for a few seconds and looking back and forth between the dress and the necktie, Gu Xi liked them both very much.
She finally gritted her teeth and bought both of them.
Can I pay for part of it in cash and the remainder with my card? asked Gu Xi.
She still had some of her money remaining plus part of them was from her prize money from her previous competition. Lo and behold, that was only enough to cover half of the amount.
She would have to pay for the remaining half with her bank card.
Gu Xi never checked to see how much allowances did Gu Xi put on the card for her so she had no idea.
She hoped she had enough.
Gu Xi was a bit nervous and failed to notice the surprise that crossed the store clerks face when she handed the card over.
You sure you dont need any other accessories? asked the store clerk with a smile.
No need. Gu Xi shook her head in a very determine manner.
Some store clerks ability was to convince the customers, after they had already bought what the need, to also buy stuff that they never planned to and didnt even need. It was vital for Gu Xi to hold her ground.
Of course, mainly also because she does not have a lot of disposable income.

Gu Xi was concerned about making up for this unexpected income with future prize money. This was, after all, her future rescue money.
What she didnt know was that the amount that she had spent, when compared to the total balance in the account, was so immaterial that one couldnt even tell the difference.
