After eating the ice cream, the two packed up their picnic mats, and Ouyang Guang suggested, "Nuna, do you want to go shopping in the nearby mall?"

Jin Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "Oh! I haven't been to the mall for a long time."

The two walked side by side along the Han River, the sun shining on them, and their shadows stretched long on the ground.

After arriving at the mall, they first went to the bookstore, which was quiet and cozy. As soon as Ouyang Guang entered the store, he walked to the study materials area with a clear goal and carefully read the Korean and mathematics reference books. Jin Zhiyuan stood aside, looking at his focused profile, and couldn't help laughing: "SUNxi, you look handsome when you read seriously."

Ouyang Guang calmly replied, "Because the exams are about to start, what about Noona? What book do you want to read?"

"Novels, especially romantic comedies." Kim Ji-won smiled as she walked towards the literature section and pulled out a book. "I've read this one. It's so funny!"

Ouyang Guang leaned over to take a look, and their shoulders lightly touched.

"Then I'll buy one too." He picked up the sample book, the corners of his mouth raised, "I can read it when I'm tired of studying."

After buying the books, Kim Ji-won passed by a cute jewelry store and was attracted by the plush dolls in the window.

"Wow, that's cute!" She picked up a little bunny doll and pinched its ears.

Ouyangguang stood behind her, looking at her childish smile, and couldn't help but reach out and poke the bunny's face: "Like Noona."

"Huh?" Jin Zhiyuan looked up in confusion.

"Cute." He said with a smile, then quickly turned to look at other accessories, pretending that he had said nothing. Jin Zhiyuan smiled and quietly put the rabbit into the shopping cart.

Kim Ji-won was carefully selecting in the jewelry area, and suddenly she was attracted by a pair of simple cross earrings. She picked them up and compared them to Ouyang Guang, her eyes sparkling: "This suits you very well!"

Ouyangguang slightly bent down to match her movements, and asked with a smile: "Nuna, do you want to buy it for me?"

"Yes! Just consider it as...a return gift." Kim Ji-won nodded with a red face and packed up the earrings.

Ouyang Guang stood there waiting for her obediently. After Jin Zhiyuan came back, she handed him the packaged earrings: "I hope you like it."

"Thank you, Noona!" Ouyangguang took it happily, and suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, "Don't you have pierced ears, Noona?"

Kim Ji-won shook her head, her expression becoming a little scared: "Because I heard it hurts... and my skin is sensitive, I'm afraid it will get inflamed if it doesn't heal well."

Ouyang Guang nodded in understanding, then pointed to her ear piercings and said, "I had my ears pierced when I was six."

"Six years old?!" Kim Ji-won opened her eyes wide in surprise, "She got her ears pierced at such a young age?"

"Yes, it was my grandma who pierced my ears." Ouyang Guang's eyes became gentle, "According to the custom in my hometown, children get their ears pierced when they are young to ward off evil spirits, bring wealth, and bless peace and health. My grandma used tea stems to help me keep them for a long time."

Jin Zhiyuan couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his earlobe, then quickly retracted her hand: "Does it still hurt now?"

Ouyangguang's ears felt hot from her sudden action, and he shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore... But if Noona wants to make a call, I can go to a professional place with you."

Kim Ji-won waved her hands quickly: "Forget it, I'll just look at the pretty earrings." She turned and pointed to another row of earrings, "Look at this bow-tied one, it's so cute..."

Ouyangguang looked at her evasive look and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, when Noona wants to fight, tell me anytime."

The two continued to shop in the jewelry store. Ouyangguang would occasionally pick up various earrings and put them in Jin Zhiyuan's ears, making her laugh. When they finally checked out, in addition to the pair of cross earrings, there was also a bow ear clip in the shopping bag - Ouyangguang insisted on buying it for Jin Zhiyuan.

"Now we all have new earrings," he said with satisfaction.

Looking at his smile, Jin Zhiyuan suddenly felt that maybe one day, she would be able to muster up the courage to get her ears pierced if he was there to talk to her.
