On the sidewalk, autumn leaves were falling like the sorrow of parting lovers.
Lin Baici and Ji Xinyan, a handsome man with a beautiful woman, caught the eyes of many passersby.
To be honest, based solely on clothing, Lin Baici was quite lacking and seemed to inadequately match Ji Xinyan, but he prevailed because of his high attractiveness.
"Class President, if you changed your clothes, there would definitely be a lot of girls chasing after you!"
Ji Xinyan pointed with her lips towards a girl at ten o’clock: "See? That girl in the trench coat has looked at you three times already!"
"I think this outfit is pretty good too!"
Anyway, no matter what he wore, once he entered God’s ruins, it would all get dirty.
"What’s good about it? It doesn’t showcase your temperament at all!"
Ji Xinyan showed a face full of disdain: "If I had your looks and paid a bit more attention to how I dress, not to mention making a splash in my freshman year, even those slick senior sisters wouldn’t be a match for me!"
At that time, he wouldn’t even need to worry about abortion money since someone would offer it voluntarily.
Lin Baici gave a perfunctory smile.
"Class President, why don’t we go to the big shopping mall in the city center?"
In a spur of the moment, Ji Xinyan dragged Lin Baici towards the curb, ready to hail a taxi.
"No, what time is it now?"
Lin Baici shook his head.
"It’s not lights out until ten, we can shop a bit and have dinner on the way, plenty of time!"
Ji Xinyan, the more she looked at Lin Baici, the more she felt it was a waste of his model-like proportions.
"Ah, what a waste of heavenly gifts!"
A taxi pulled over. For original chapters go to novel⟡fire.net
Ji Xinyan gripped his arm and dragged him into the car.
"I really don’t want to go!"
Having grown so big, Lin Baici had hardly ever been to a shopping mall; he’d always worn his school uniform, and even if he bought clothes, he’d buy them from roadside stores.
So, he was somewhat resistant to it mentally.
"In life, you have to experience many firsts. Leave buying clothes to me this time, and I guarantee you’ll have a pleasant experience."
Ji Xinyan was usually very perceptive, but this time, she felt a bit doubtful.
Lin Baici shouldn’t be short of money, but his behavior resembled kids from ordinary working-class families.
Ji Xinyan never called a driver "master," but rather, sweetly addressed them as "uncle," as per her experience.
This could make the taxi drivers consciously raise their quality of service, avoiding exposure to foul language.
However, Ji Xinyan only occasionally took taxis as she usually drove herself.
With Ji Xinyan’s father’s connections, getting a driver’s license was no problem at all.
After a thirty-minute drive, they arrived at the Wanda shopping mall.
Ji Xinyan paid by scanning a QR code and pulled Lin Baici inside, randomly roamed half a circle, and headed straight for the third floor.
"First-floor clothes are more expensive. Regardless of whether you can afford them or not, it’s better not to wear them in university!"
Ji Xinyan shared her experience.
Lin Baici looked at the clothing Ji Xinyan was wearing. He didn’t recognize the brand, but judging by the fabric and tailoring, it shouldn’t be cheap.
"Don’t look at me; I’m different from you; I don’t pursue being low-key."
Ji Xinyan accepted Lin Baici’s scrutiny without hesitation, even struck a fashion model’s pose with her right hand behind her head and her left hand on her hip.
"A girl wearing expensive clothes can deter many suitors, otherwise it would be death by annoyance."
Ji Xinyan shared her secret.
Lin Baici moved his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
"Are you trying to say that I’m materialistic? That I’ve tarnished love?"
Ji Xinyan shrugged: "Seeing a wealthy girl and still daring to pursue her, the guy is either a toad lusting after a swan, or confidence borne from talent."
"But if a guy dares not pursue her, he definitely lacks courage, so I think even if I miss out, there’s no need for regret!"
"What if that man becomes successful later?"
"Even if he becomes successful, it has nothing to do with me!"
Ji Xinyan laughed: "You don’t think I would regret it, do you? A girl who regrets her choices is living poorly and also has poor judgment."
"Sorry, I spoke out of turn!"
Lin Baici found Ji Xinyan to be quite a thinker.
"Why apologize? It’s just a normal conversation!"
Ji Xinyan covered her mouth with the back of her hand and giggled: "Of course, with my personality, I’d definitely curse that successful man and transfer his good fortune to my husband."
[An interesting woman, wouldn’t you take a bite?]
"Let’s go to this one!"
Spotting a brand, Ji Xinyan pulled Lin Baici inside: "You sit; I’ll find some clothes!"
The sales associate, seeing this dynamic, knew this man had no say and went straight to Ji Xinyan to recommend the latest autumn and winter fashion.
Lin Baici sat on the sofa provided for customers inside the shop, a bit bewildered.
He couldn’t believe he was actually shopping at the mall with Ji Xinyan.
Feeling somewhat restless,
he couldn’t just leave Ji Xinyan and go, so with no choice, Lin Baici took out his phone, ready to read some novels and pass the time. He had only read two Chapters when Ji Xinyan came back with several pieces of clothing, followed by the sales associate holding seven or eight more.
"To the fitting room!"
Ji Xinyan instructed Lin Baici on which tops went with which trousers.
"Isn’t that too much?"
It was a hassle, and Lin Baici was grateful for his ability to recall information; otherwise, he would’ve been completely confused.
"Being able to wear something and wearing it well are two different concepts!"
Ji Xinyan was like a fashion queen, leaving no room for Lin Baici to argue: "Go on!"
She pulled Lin Baici up and pushed him into the fitting room.
He was there anyway, might as well try them on!
Lin Baici began changing his clothes.
