7. A Golden-maned Lion_4

It seems like just a tourist wandering in for a look.

Ye Shiyu has been categorized as such in the minds of others.

"Welcome!"

Listening to the voice of the store employee welcoming other tourists at the door, Shiyu silently observed the merchandise around her, until in a corner, she finally saw the item that had previously caught her interest.

It was a blue jellyfish keychain, underneath the jellyfish tentacles several keys could be hung, intricately crafted with a crystal-like texture, hanging lonely on the edge of a shelf.

Shiyu didn't hesitate, like an explorer who had discovered some sort of treasure, her eyes slightly lit up as if they were captivated by the jellyfish.

Immediately, she reached out eagerly to take it down and buy it.

However, at that moment, by her side, and almost at the same time, another fair hand also grabbed the jellyfish keychain.

One on each side, they exactly managed to keep the jellyfish from leaving the shelf.

Shiyu, who had already grabbed the keychain, was slightly stunned, then turned her head, only then noticing another tourist she had not seen due to her concentration.

There stood a girl of the same age, who also seemed to be momentarily stunned.

The first thing that caught the eye was her thick, slightly curly natural blonde hair, followed by a beautiful face that was close at hand.

Her facial features were more three-dimensional than Shiyu's, and her pupils emitted a sparkling clean blue, clearly of a different race than Shiyu.

Thus, compared to Shiyu's delicate beauty, the features of the blonde woman appeared more vigorous and more aggressive.

She was about the same height as Shiyu, dressed in a light, sporty black short tee, and wearing a black duckbill cap with some kind of signature.

Her figure had more curves, and her muscles were tighter, suggesting she exercised regularly.

When she realized someone else was grabbing the keychain as well, her eyebrows slightly raised, her pink lips parted slightly, revealing a particularly prominent canine tooth.

Like a little golden-haired lion, the girl spoke with a tone slightly higher than usual,

"Hmm?"

"..."

Shiyu remained unmoved, just holding onto the keychain.

And the blonde girl did the same, clearly showing no intention of letting go.

Their identical choice subtly filled the air with a scent of gunpowder and, after a silent moment, the blonde girl softly "tsk"ed.

She glanced at the price tag of the keychain, then raised her head and said to Shiyu,

"I really like this one, it's mine now. Pick another item of the same price, I'll pay for it, deal?"

The allure of getting a free souvenir to avoid the conflict of fighting over it was strong, unfortunately, the seemingly generous offer did not work on Shiyu.

Shiyu steadfastly watched her, seemingly unresponsive to the irritation in the other's tone, her voice not sounding as if she was conversing with someone she was in conflict with...

Of course, not even like she was speaking to a person.

She softly said,

"No."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the blonde girl's face immediately darkened, and she scoffed,

"Interesting... what if I really want this one today?"

She gradually increased the force in her hand, making Shiyu's fingers holding the keychain turn gradually white from the pressure, clearly showing her great strength.

Shiyu, expressionless, seemed to sense the change in her emotions, her phone in her hand eerily lit up on its own...

And yet her tone remained the same.

"I said, no."
