But now, Tong Sui could not hear any of these discussions.
Bai Xingluo, without a word, had picked him up, and Tong Sui felt so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
He protested softly, “Put me down, I can walk by myself.”
“Didn’t you say your legs are weak?”
Bai Xingluo carried him, stepping down steadily. “Since I am your servant, I should serve you.”
Tong Sui couldn’t argue, so he simply buried his head lower. “But I still want you to act like your previous self; this doesn’t suit you.”
“Do you care about my identity that much?” Bai Xingluo asked. “As long as I can stay by your side, that is enough for me.”
When they reached the last step of the gangway, Bai Xingluo gently set Tong Sui down.
“Be careful.”
He seemed to revert to that inconspicuous servant, following closely behind Tong Sui.
With so many people around, Tong Sui had to temporarily give up on further conversation.
The imperial commercial center was extravagantly luxurious, with a logo on the entrance that exuded grandeur.
To control the flow of visitors, there was a minimum spend requirement, and even this minimum amount was already equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary insect family.
If one didn’t have some assets in their pocket, they would find it impossible to browse here.
Tong Sui had little interest in such things.
Going out amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd felt like walking in a flower street festival, making it impossible to truly relax.
However, he wasn’t out alone, so he had to endure it, thinking that he could pretend to browse for a while longer before withdrawing.
Payne Huana stood behind them, closely watching Tong Sui just like the noble female insects.
Anything Tong Sui glanced at, he would summon his personal attendant to buy it extravagantly, intending to gift it to him later.
This was probably the greatest advantage he could offer.
As Tong Sui passed by a luxury jewelry store display, he abruptly stopped.
In the glass showcase was a silver star necklace.
It sparkled on a black velvet display and immediately captivated Tong Sui at first glance.
The store manager, hearing a visitor at the door, stepped out, initially looking somewhat impatient.
Here, jewelry required prior reservations, and the prices were steep, catering to upper-class clientele.
They would typically overlook walk-in customers without reservations until the moment Tong Sui pushed open the store door.
He was startled by the scene before him, as a group of well-trained guards, weapons in hand, looked solemnly at him.
The store manager raised both hands, trembling slightly, fearing his store had committed a mistake.
“Um, do you sell this display item?”
A gentle voice, like a clear spring, resonated.
The startled store manager came to his senses; upon realizing who stood before him, he covered his mouth in excitement.
The manager opened his light brain and repeatedly compared it, finding it hard to believe that he was actually face-to-face with Tong Sui?!
“Your Highness, do you like this?”
The manager completely changed his demeanor, beaming as he said, “You have excellent taste; this necklace is unique. If you like it, we can give it to you.”
“No need, I can buy it myself.”
“Then I’ll give you a discount! It’s 90% off, not 10% off!”
The manager had become so excited he was almost incoherent. “I’ll throw in some extras; anything you like in the store, just take it!”
“No, I only like this one.”
From the moment he saw the necklace, he had thought of Bai Xingluo.
Dazzling and bright.
No matter how persuasive the manager was, Tong Sui still bought the necklace at full price.
As the manager opened the showcase to wrap the necklace, Tong Sui said, “No need to wrap it; just hand it to me.”
Tong Sui took the necklace.
He didn’t know what metal this star necklace was made of from the insect world, but it felt slightly cool to the touch.
He turned and met those pale blue eyes, holding the necklace up for display.
“Don’t you think it suits you perfectly?”
Both were stars, glistening and bright.
Tong Sui took two steps closer, awkwardly unlocking the chain, threading it around Bai Xingluo’s neck and fiddling as he fastened it behind.
From the perspective of other insects, it looked like Tong Sui was affectionately hugging the neck of his servant.
The surrounding insects gasped and expressed envy.
One insect shared this scene on the star net forum.

“Help, I really want to soul switch with him immediately! Can someone explain why the Prince is so nice to a servant!?”
“Waaah, I’m going to die of envy; is it too late to apply for a job now?”
“He makes me think that even if you’re average-looking, there’s hope; everyone, I’m going to fill out my application right now!”
“Does such a gentle male insect really exist? I suspect I’m watching an idol drama.”
“So who exactly is this fellow, to make Prince Tong Sui dote on him so? Can he release a dating guide? I’ll be the first to buy it!”
……
Bai Xingluo stared at the silver star hanging around his neck, stunned for a few seconds.
“…Did you buy this for me?”
“Do you like it?” Tong Sui asked. “Instead of letting you be my shadow, you’re more suited to be this shining little star.”
Bai Xingluo gazed at the little star, feeling as if molten lava flowed into his chest, and his heart melted with the warmth.
After a while, he managed to find his voice, raspy and incredulous.
“This is the best gift I’ve ever received.”
Tong Sui nodded and looked at the surrounding female insects, thoughtlessly taking Bai Xingluo’s hand.
“Thank you all for your hard work today; let’s conclude today’s itinerary.”
