“Shopping is fun! We can find pretty clothes and enjoy ourselves!” “I’m just not sure if it’s the right time for that,” Lei Tianye replied hesitantly.
“But Tianye, we need to take a break sometimes. It’s good for us,” Leng Youlan insisted, her voice cheerful yet persuasive.
Finally, Lei Tianye relented with a sigh. “Alright, let’s go shopping, but it better be quick.”
As they walked through the bustling streets, Leng Youlan’s excitement was palpable. She pulled Lei Tianye along with her, pointing out various shops and window displays.
“Look at that dress! It would look perfect on you!” “I think you mean perfect on you,” Lei Tianye said, attempting to steer the conversation away from himself.
Leng Youlan laughed, “You always know how to make me smile.”
Eventually, they came across a boutique that caught Leng Youlan’s eye. The window was adorned with beautiful garments that seemed to sparkle under the afternoon sun.
“Let’s check this one out!” she exclaimed, tugging on Lei Tianye’s arm as they stepped inside.
The interior was filled with an array of colors and fabrics, making it a treasure trove for any fashion enthusiast. Leng Youlan immediately began browsing, picking up dresses and accessories, while Lei Tianye observed quietly.
“Do you think this looks good?” Leng Youlan called out from behind a dressing room curtain.
“Everything looks good on you,” came Lei Tianye’s response without hesitation.
With each new outfit, Leng Youlan’s joy seemed to multiply. Shopping had become not only a chance to find beautiful pieces but also a way to share moments with someone she treasured.
After several outfits and much laughter, they left the boutique with their arms full of bags, both feeling lighter in spirit.
Have you gone shopping with many women before and are afraid of running into them?” “No, I’ve only gone shopping with one person.” Thinking of Xia Xuaner, Lei Tianye felt uncomfortable.
“One person?” Leng Youlan felt a sourness in her stomach, her heart feeling stuffy.
“Darling, let’s not go shopping. There’s a banquet tonight; I’ll take you to attend, how about that?” Lei Tianye said somewhat placatingly. “Okay!”
