Shopping. A mysterious and bizarre daily activity.
Its specific manifestation:
Your normally cute girlfriend instantly transforms into a female warrior, holding a cup of milk tea and furiously charging twenty thousand steps without a change in expression, followed by a boyfriend, panting and looking pale.
Lu Xun once said that there are two ways to test if a couple is harmonious: one is to travel, the other is to go shopping.
If he didn't say it, then Lu Xing said it.
As a professional simp, Lu Xing was basically not presentable.
Of course, the clients also didn't want to take such a person out. It would be awkward if they ran into an acquaintance.
Lu Xing was already used to it.
"What kind of madness has possessed all of you recently?"
When Lu Xing saw the graceful and generous Wen Lingxiu at the school gate, he still couldn't help but exclaim.
First, it was Song Junzhu who, on a whim, took him out to eat and watch fireworks. Now, it's Wen Lingxiu taking him out shopping and to watch a performance.
Before, these clients wished they could stuff him in the house and not let him see anyone. Now, why were they all taking him out for a stroll?
Women are so strange.
Countless little people were complaining in Lu Xing's heart, but his face still wore a professional smile, like being bathed in a spring breeze.
"CEO Wen, good afternoon."
Although the weather in March was already transitioning from spring to summer, there was still a hint of chill in the air in the evening.
Wen Lingxiu wore a long coat over her white shirt and black long skirt. The wind gently blew through her slightly curly long hair.
The charm of a mature woman bloomed quietly like a white magnolia, with a faint, orchid-like fragrance.
Seeing Lu Xing walk over, Wen Lingxiu gave him a gentle and generous smile, and smoothly took his schoolbag and placed it in the back seat.
"Good afternoon. I've gotten my driver's license. I'm trying out this car first."
Lu Xing's smile froze.
You just got your driver's license yesterday, and you're already driving today? And you're using an Audi as a practice car? You really have the nerve to say that!
Lu Xing was panicking in his heart, but he couldn't say it. He even had to mindlessly praise her.
Lu Xing quietly took a breath, naturally sat in the passenger seat, looked at Wen Lingxiu with sparkling eyes, and clapped his hands happily.
"Wuhu! Congratulations on getting your driver's license, CEO Wen! I told you, CEO Wen, you're a natural-born driver!"
"After a couple of days of getting familiar with it, CEO Wen, if you wear sunglasses and drive a convertible, you'll definitely charm a whole bunch of people."
Wen Lingxiu was amused and laughed, lifting the corners of her mouth and deliberately saying.
"I'm already old. What's the point of charming others? Why don't you work hard, and then you can drive me around in a convertible?"
When a woman says she's old, you must investigate the underlying reason for her saying it.
(TL : This is some real advice guys.)
Lu Xing's brain instantly tensed up. He immediately turned his head to stare into Auntie Wen's eyes, his brow furrowed, looking very worried.
Being stared at so intensely, Wen Lingxiu felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away.
"What are you looking at?"
Lu Xing sighed and said solemnly, "Heaven is indeed fair."
She said she was old just to test Lu Xing. How did it suddenly turn to this?
Lu Xing smiled with relief. "Heaven gave you outstanding looks and a unique temperament, but it didn't give you a normal sense of aesthetics."
Wen Lingxiu was stunned. She had learned to paint and do calligraphy since she was young. At the very least, she had grown up immersed in art.
"How did it not give me a normal sense of aesthetics?"
Lu Xing explained slowly.
"CEO Wen, for someone with your looks and temperament to say you're old, isn't that a lack of normal aesthetics? I'll buy you some art books to look at later. We can't just have outer beauty; we also need to cultivate our inner beauty."
Rebellion against the heavens!
This is simply rebellion against the heavens!
Wen Lingxiu understood, but she didn't want to reply.
If you say he's praising her, it seems like he is.
If you say he's scolding her, it seems like he is too.
Wen Lingxiu was neither angry nor amused, so she reached out her finger and poked Lu Xing's head.
"You bad thing, so glib-tongued."
Lu Xing followed the movement of Auntie Wen's poking and swayed his head, saying in a lazy and languid manner.
"I wash my face and brush my teeth seriously every day. How am I glib-tongued?"
Wen Lingxiu was amused. "Alright, alright, you're not glib-tongued. I wronged you. I'll buy you a few more well-fitting clothes later to compensate you."
Lu Xing sighed in his heart.
If you rich people want to compensate someone, can't you just throw banknotes in his face?
Always giving these things that can't be eaten. He still has to go to Kate's second-hand luxury store to sell them.
What a pain in the ass!
It wasn't until he entered a custom tailor shop that Lu Xing suddenly understood.
‘So when these rich people say 'buy a few more well-fitting clothes'...
–you mean custom-made!’
When the tailor was measuring his body data, Lu Xing truly felt like he was going to shatter.
Too naked, he can't accept it!
But the tailor was very natural, and even said with some surprise.
"Sir, your various data are very standard. You will definitely look very good in a suit."
Lu Xing covered himself. "Thank you, but do you have to be naked to be measured here?"
The tailor smiled without thinking.
"Some require it, some don't. But it's all for the accuracy of the measurements, to make the clothes fit well."
The tailor asked again, "By the way, sir, do you prefer to place it on the left or the right?"
Lu Xing was confused. "Huh?"
The tailor pointed to little Lu Xing. "This also needs to be measured properly. Otherwise, if the fabric is used incorrectly, it will be too tight for you."
Is this some new kind of humiliating obedience experiment?
After Lu Xing emerged from the measurement room, having endured the ordeal...
Wen Lingxiu already had a freshly printed copy of "Lu Xing's Body Data" in her hand and was looking at it seriously.
Shoulder width is good, chest circumference is good, waist circumference is good, leg length is also good, and that part is also quite impressive. (TL : (⊙_⊙) )
Wen Lingxiu nodded with satisfaction.
They say you have to try before you buy to know if it's suitable. She has a better and more accurate method!
Lu Xing's various data are very suitable for being Nannan's father.
"CEO Wen, I'm done being measured."
Lu Xing walked out a little awkwardly and stood beside Wen Lingxiu.
Wen Lingxiu smiled gently.
"I've chosen some comfortable and high-quality fabrics for you. If the clothes are rushed, you can probably get them in about two weeks."
Seeing that Lu Xing's collar was turned up, Wen Lingxiu stood in front of him, reached out her hands, and focused on tidying his clothes for him, saying gently.
"Isn't your school's coming-of-age ceremony coming up soon? You can wear that then. It will be very handsome."
Lu Xing was much taller than Auntie Wen.
Looking down from his angle, Auntie Wen's already gentle face was enhanced with a bit more charm and wifely virtue.
Lu Xing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and smelled a rich fragrance.
The surrounding staff all showed doting "auntie" smiles, their eyes revealing envy.
What were they envious of?
Envious that Lu Xing knew the goodness of a rich lady at a young age and didn't waste his youth on the wrong things.
Only Lu Xing's mind was exceptionally clear at this moment. His lips were smiling, but his eyes revealed a cold color.
He had never told Wen Lingxiu when the school's coming-of-age ceremony was.
The only time he could think of was when he had brought the school calendar home in his schoolbag.
Wen Lingxiu had gone through his bag.
(TL : Bro run! One is crazier than the other.)
Lu Xing put on a smile and said obediently, "Okay, I'll take a picture for CEO Wen to see then."
Wen Lingxiu finished tidying Lu Xing's clothes, tucked her long hair behind her ear, and smiled gently.
"Of course, that's great. I'm looking forward to it."
As expected of a young man, so easily smitten by a gentle older sister.
But that's also good.
The purer one is, the more suitable they are to be Nannan's father.
She doesn't need a man with wild ambitions in the family. She just needs a simple, family-oriented man.
Lu Xing is the most suitable candidate.
