    The florist looked at the order and said, "The signature is from CID Unit D of Kowloon City Police Station. Inspector Zhou also asked me to tell you that they're busy with an investigation and can't make it to the scene. They're very sorry."

    "Oh, I see," Chu Yuening said, waving it off. It didn't bother her.

    Just then...

    Fei Yu entered the shop with his girlfriend, a pink Pixiu pendant hanging from his waist. He grinned and said, "Master, the Pixiu you prepared for me really works wonders. I was all alone before, but look, less than a week later, I've found a like-minded girlfriend."

    Fei Yu's boastful remarks drew the attention of customers in front.

    Someone asked, "Master, your fortune-telling sessions have long queues and are limited to three per day. Why not sell us some pendants instead?"

    "Yeah, that's right," others chimed in.

    "That way, everyone gets something."

    Since it wouldn't consume much of her magic power, Chu Yuening agreed with a smile. "Alright, wait a moment. I'll get the pendants."

    With that, she took out all the small pendants from the cabinet.

    The guests were all very orderly, lining up one by one.

    Feiyu busied himself with packing the charms.

    Soon enough, all the luck-enhancing accessories were sold out.

    "Master."

    After finishing his work, Brother Feiyu stood up and massaged his shoulders, looking at Master Chu a little awkwardly as he asked, "Actually, there's something else I'd like to ask for your help with."

    Chu Yuening glanced at him and then at the slightly bashful girl beside him. The girl had a plump, round face with short hair, and when she smiled, dimples appeared on her cheeks.

    She picked up the display tray of charms and placed it back on the showcase. Turning around with a smile, she said, "Is it about the Pixiu?"

    "That's right, nothing escapes Master's notice," Feiyu chuckled, feeling a bit embarrassed. He secretly glanced at his girlfriend. "It's just that... it seems to attract too much romantic luck. My partner here tends to get jealous."

    To outsiders, he was the fierce and intimidating Third-in-Command of the Fourteenth Gang.

    Internally, he was indeed inexperienced in dating.

    Despite his age, this was his one and only serious relationship. When other women approached him, he would become nervous, fearing that his girlfriend might get jealous.

    Now, with the Pixiu attracting romantic interests, he was in for a tough time.

    "I want to ask Master if Pixiu can be worn by Shuangshuang," Chu Yuening inquired.

    Shuangshuang was the name of Feiyu's girlfriend.

    Taking another look at their faces, Chu Yuening nodded. "Your auras complement each other, so there shouldn't be any problem with exchanging the pendants. However, the wearer will likely attract more attention from the opposite sex."

    Upon hearing this, Shuangshuang panicked and quickly responded, "N-No, it's not necessary. Let's not wear them, both of us."

    "Foolish talk," Feiyu said as he took off the Pixiu and placed it on Shuangshuang's wrist, gently patting her head. "Didn't you always say that no boys chased after you before? Give it a try."

    In reality, Shuangshuang had never been very popular with men. Though her face conveyed an air of fortune, she wasn't considered attractive to the opposite sex.

    Feiyu was aware of this fact since he first met her.

    Still, he didn't mind at all.

    Looking at the Pi Xiu, Duoduo blinked curiously, "Aren't you worried?"

    "Worried? You must be joking." Feiyu chuckled nonchalantly, "Just let them chase, we'll see who can catch up to me."

    Duoduo stroked the Pi Xiu, deeply touched.

    Feiyu was truly different from other boys; who could accept their girlfriend being pursued by other men?

    Chu Yuening watched from the side with a smile.

    As she had said before, these two were a perfect match fated to be together.

    Outside Chu Ji's Fengshui Shop, some customers had already purchased their charms and left, while many others were waiting to buy the sweet soup.

    Chu Yi and Wei Yanlin worked together efficiently, one preparing the sweet soup and the other packing it, ensuring a relatively quick service.

    In the crowd,

    A girl with a hat finally reached the front of the queue. She wore thick glasses, straining to read the signboard to discern the varieties of sugar water available.

    Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Pointing at the unique series, she inquired, "Boss, could you tell me what the Bright Vision brand of sugar water is for?"

    Wei Yanlin, holding a red plastic bag on his head, leaned over to look. Scratching his bare scalp, he was also somewhat confused.

    "Wait a moment, I'll go ask someone for you."

    Just as he was about to step out, Chu Yuening entered.

    "What's going on?"

    Pouring a bowl of sugar water for a customer beside him, Wei Yanlin explained, "Someone asked about the purpose of the Bright Vision brand."

    Chu Yuening looked at the girl, who was young and wore heavy spectacles, her gaze filled with curiosity at the signboard.

    Bending down, she took a apron from the cabinet and put it on, then patiently explained, "Bright Vision sugar water has the effect of improving eyesight. If you've been using your eyes excessively or feel fatigued, you can give it a try. A bottle of this sugar water can help your eyes return to their optimal state."

    "Certainly, if your myopia is severe, prolonged use might help reduce your prescription."

    Reducing the prescription!

    The girl's eyes lit up. There was nothing more desirable for someone with severe nearsightedness.

    It had to be reducing the prescription!

    "How much is a cup? I'd like to try it."

    "A cup costs fifty-one dollars. Our store only allows three cups per type of functional drink, and one person can only purchase one cup per month." Chu Yuening took out a cup bearing the Bright Vision logo and smiled slightly. "Are you sure?"

    "Yes!" The girl was a manga artist and often overused her eyes due to frequent drawing, causing her already nearsighted vision to worsen over time.

    Although she had heard of eye surgeries that could treat her condition, she was still hesitant to try them out due to their novelty.

    To prevent her prescription from increasing, she had tried various methods, including a friend's suggestion that believing in God could heal her eyes.
