Chapter 3 The First Volume of EXO Neers
Leaning against the chair, Lucy looked out of the window in quiet contemtion. She was drumming
her fingers on the table when suddenly she got an idea. She quickly stood up, put on her coat, and ran
downstairs. Behind hery a sea of papers with the word EXO written on them!
The street was bustling with people. Lucy marched to the shopping mall. Warmth from the heaters
enveloped her as soon as she entered the mall. She took a deep breath and stood in the center of the
mall, scanning all the stores until her eyesnded on one store on the second floor. Just what she was
looking for! With a hopeful smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, she headed to the elevator.
"Excuse me, do you have EXO''s poster?" she asked in anticipation.
The shop attendant turned around and saw Lucy''s delicate face. Her eyes lit up and she bowed in
greeting.
"Hello, handsome! Unfortunately, the posters are sold out today and won''t be avable until a week
Lucy was speechless. How could this woman think she was a boy?
Disappointed to hear that there was no poster at the store, Lucy turned around to leave without another
word. The attendant hurriedly called out, "Hey handsome, leave your phone number! I''ll call you when
the posterse in."
Lucy was at aplete loss of words at thedy''s behavior. How could she flirt with someone so
tantly? Not to mention she was a woman. If that attendant knew, she would be red-faced. She
should find a hole in which to bury her head! Lucy chuckled to herself thinking about this. Then she
took out her mobile phone and searched for shopping malls and supermarkets nearby. The cold wind
outside was harsh. She zipped up her coat and shoved her hands into her pockets. Shaking her head
vigorously, she then ran to another shopping mall.
"Sir, do you have the EXO poster?"
"No, it''s out of stock. It will take many days toe."
"Oh. Well, thank you." she left feeling crestfallen. The weather had taken a turn for the worst. It became
colder and colder and her face started turning pale. She shook her head determinedly and continued
her hunt for the poster.
"Sir, do you have EXO''s poster?"
"Sorry, I just sold thest one."
"Oh, that''s too bad. Thanks anyway." Lucy walked out of the store sadly.
Staring glumly at the blue sky, the faces of the 12 boys gradually appeared in her mind. It cheered her
up again and motivated her to not give up.
"Sir, by any chance do you have EXO poster?"
"No, sorry."
Another disappointment. But Lucy still didn''t give up. She went from one shop to another, seeking her
beloved poster.
It was getting dark now. She sighed and thought to herself, ''How popr are they? The poster is sold
out in all the stores!'' She couldn''t get her hands on even one!
Feeling dejected, she was about to go home when she suddenly saw a restaurant, which was covered
in EXO''s posters. Hope sparked in her eyes again and she pushed the door open excitedly.
"Sir!"
The man behind the counter immediately turned around and smiled at her. "Hello, young man, what
would you like to eat?"
Lucy was speechless. "I''m not here for the food. I want to buy all the posters in your restaurant," she
sputtered.
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
A couple sitting next to her overheard her. The girl looked at her contemptuously.
"There are people who go to restaurants to buy posters also. Ha-ha, idiot!"
The boy shook his head, signaling his girlfriend to be quiet. She simply rolled her eyes at him unhappily
and continued to eat.
Lucy stared at the shop owner. Her determined look made the shop owner realize that she was serious.
"Yes, you can but I worked very hard to get these posters. What price are you willing to pay?"
Lucy took out a stack of money from her pocket and threw it on the counter with a sneer.
"One thousand! Is that enough?" She looked at the shop owner in disgust.
When he saw the money, his greedy eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed the money andughed
happily.
"Of course, it''s enough! Ha-ha!"
Lucy narrowed her eyes at him and ordered, "Go and remove all the posters. If you damage any of
them, I won''t take them."
"Ok, ok! Lily, Jenny,e here and take down all the posters. Give them to this young man. Hurry up!
And be careful; don''t tear any."manded the shop owner. The two girls, who seemed to be 17 or 18
years old, dashed across and started peeling off the posters slowly.
Looking at their clumsy movements, Lucy knew that she would have to wait for a long time. As she
hadn''t eaten anything all day, so she decided to grab a bite.
"Sir, I''ll have a banana milkshake and medium-well steak, followed by a slice of ck forest cake."
Sitting at the table by the window, Lucy stared out at the bleak street. It was almost deserted. It was
getting darker and colder, and she was d to be warmly ensconced in this cozy dining room. She
rested her chin on her hand and looked at the sky, dreaming of their beautiful faces. A contented smile
formed on her mouth.
"Here you go, young man."
The shop owner ced the food on her table with a genial smile. Lucy distractedly picked up the knife
and fork and ate the steak. She stopped chewing to sip the milkshake every now and then. Meanwhile,
she turned to look at the two girls, who had been tearing down the posters. One of the girls spotted
Lucy looking at them and quickly turned away. Her head hit the wall. When the girl turned around
again, she noticed that Lucy was still looking at her, and she blushed.
Seeing this, Lucy looked away. ''Why was she blushing as looking at me?''
Lucy regarded herself in the mirror. She had to admit, she did look like a boy. With her short red hair
and casual clothes, she wasn''t exactly oozing feminine grace. It was natural for people to think that she
was a cool guy. Watching the two girls pull down all the posters, she finished eating her cake. Then she
walked over to the counter.
"Please pack these for me. How much is the meal?"
"It''s 384 in total."
Nodding, she took out 400 dors from her pocket, put them on the counter, and walked out of the
restaurant with the posters in her hand. When she crossed the road, she turned to see the name of the
restaurant.
Exo Sweet Home
By the time she got back home, Sean and Molly were asleep. Lucy tiptoed upstairs softly. Once in her
room, she spread out all the posters and began pasting each one on the walls. When she finished, the
whole room instantly became a kingdom of EXO. Beautiful faces smiled down at her from all directions.
"EXO, please wait for me."
