"He..."
Ling Xuejiu completely lost her composure, uttering just one word before she stared wide-eyed!
Was that the same boy in the white shirt and black tight slacks as the rustic student Leng Xuan from before? It was too unbelievable!
"He what?" Li Mengjie asked curiously, turning her head to glance at Ling Xuejiu, saw the surprised expression on her face, then followed her gaze. Just as Leng Xuan walked up close, his handsome appearance and his faint aura suddenly made Li Mengjie’s eyes light up!
Seeing the two young ladies staring at him, dumbfounded, Leng Xuan wondered if he had grown a sore on his face. He unconsciously touched his face before asking, "So, how do I look? Does this outfit fit me well?"
"Cold Bodyguard, you’ve turned handsome!" Li Mengjie blurted out without restraint.
Leng Xuan, after all, was human. Being praised by Li Mengjie made him blush slightly, yet he pretended to be very serious and said, "Really? I was handsome to begin with, wasn’t I?"
"Pfft!" Li Mengjie nearly burst out laughing. She had never realized that Leng Xuan could be so thick-skinned when bragging about himself.
Rolling her eyes, Ling Xuejiu had to admit Leng Xuan indeed had changed, and drastically so. But for her to compliment Leng Xuan was much harder than going a day without food. With a snort, she put on her young mistress demeanor and asked accusatorily, "Where did you go just now?"
Leng Xuan looked at her puzzledly and said, "Didn’t you see? I was buying clothes!"
Ling Xuejiu responded, "Why did you go buy clothes without saying anything?"
Leng Xuan was speechless, thinking to himself, wasn’t it you who left without saying a word, and now you’re blaming me?
Ling Xuejiu seemed to realize there was a problem with what she said, so she changed tack, "From now on, don’t you fall behind without my permission, got it?"
Leng Xuan felt helpless. The young mistress was simply not a reasonable person. No matter how much he talked, it was useless. He just gave a wry smile and stayed silent.
"Cold Bodyguard, that outfit of yours looks quite nice, how much was it?" Li Mengjie said, and then something occurred to her, "Right, where’s my card?"
"Card? What card?" Leng Xuan asked, puzzled.
Li Mengjie was taken aback and said, "Didn’t I give my card to the cashier to help you pay and then..."
"Sir, please wait a moment!" Before Li Mengjie could finish, she saw the earlier cashier running over with a card, out of breath, "I’m sorry, I forgot to swipe your card just now."
Leng Xuan was truly bewildered, touching his nose. Just then, Li Mengjie walked over, took the card from the cashier’s hand, and asked, "Cashier, you didn’t charge his card?"
The cashier’s face turned red. When Leng Xuan came out earlier, he was indeed quite shocked. After all, Leng Xuan was just a bumpkin, but once he changed his clothes he looked so handsome. It wasn’t until Leng Xuan walked past him and directly settled the bill at the front desk that the cashier snapped out of his daze and hurried after him. Faced with Li Mengjie’s question, the cashier was so flustered that he stuttered, "I’m sorry, just now... I..."
"You had a memory lapse, didn’t you?" Li Mengjie said, irritated.
"Ah, no, no!" The cashier’s face grew even redder.
"Forget it, you can go!" Li Mengjie didn’t want to dwell on it, but she was really annoyed inside. She had intended to buy Leng Xuan some clothes, but who would have thought there could be such a foolish cashier?
