Caught off guard (2)

  Xu Zimo laughed with a sly face, and casually picked out a row of clothes, instructing the salesgirl to try them on one by one. At first, it was okay, but as they tried more, Du Kewe felt more and more that something was off - each piece seemed more revealing than the last, more sensual. By the time they got to the last piece, it had turned into a silk slip dress, the kind that would leave her completely exposed if a gust of wind blew by. She had never worn clothes made of this material before, and she couldn't deny feeling curious. After struggling for a long time, she finally took a deep breath and stepped out of the dressing room. As the bright white light shone down on her, she could even feel several pairs of eyes fixed on her from all around.

  Then Xu Zimo clapped his hands and said, "That's it."

  She couldn't help but take a good look at herself in the mirror. It turned out that the price of the clothes wasn't for nothing, and for some reason, the simple style made her figure stand out even more. This magical change really made her dizzy, and just as she was indulging in self-admiration, a very discordant voice sounded from behind her, "What's so good about this dress? It looks better on the first person who wore it!"

  She knew who it would be without turning her head.

  This damn Li Jiahao, I don't know what kind of wasabi he ate, but if he doesn't face her directly, he won't be at peace.

  After all, she didn't really have to buy it, since owing such a huge favor would make her very uncomfortable. But after being persuaded by Li Jiahao, the stubbornness hidden inside her burst out uncontrollably.

  "It's not up to me to choose? Then I'll take this one." She said resolutely.

  He glanced sideways at the boy next to him with an incredulous stare.

  When the waiter handed over the bill with a bow, Li Jiahao's pen poked out several holes as he signed. He also heavily dotted the last period.

  The atmosphere suddenly became tense. However, Du Ke was a carefree person and calmly put away his clothes, even remembering to check the price tag. His face stiffened as he thought that he wouldn't be able to pay this amount for a while, and he needed to think of a solution.

  Just as he was about to thank him, Xu Zimo had already disappeared without a trace. Li Jiahao stood beside him with an expressionless face and said, "His 88th girlfriend just called, he said he's leaving first."

  Really?

  Du Ke Wei fell silent for a moment before asking with feigned ignorance, "So that leaves... just the two of us?"

  "Your reaction is really quick." Lei Jiahao said sarcastically.

  The crowd on Qingyang Road is still the same, if we put aside the bad mood and don't mention it. Today's sunshine is indeed good. At 3 pm on the pedestrian street, people walk forward with mottled light and shadow under their feet. Lovely girls put their hands on their boyfriends' arms and raise their eyes to smile sweetly.

  Du Kewe thinks that this is indeed a kind of indulgent and wanton feeling. But if it's possible to not have to walk together with Li Jiahao, who has a poker face, time would be even more beautiful.

  She insisted on not letting Lí Jiǎháo send her back, and instead walked to the nearby bus stop. She was afraid that if she were to be squeezed again, she would definitely get hurt internally. Lí Jiǎháo agreed readily and stood with her in front of the bus sign, attracting the attention of many people.

  She tragically thought of the time when she went shopping with Bai Qingzhen, pointing at a couple in the distance and saying, "Why do handsome guys always hang out with ordinary-looking girls?" Her tone was full of teasing and curiosity. But now she herself had inexplicably become the protagonist, and could even hear the surrounding girls whispering to each other about her outfit.

  She dryly laughed twice, and had to change the subject to divert attention, saying to Li Jiahao, "Next time I'll also give you something, and we'll be even."
