Luo Jingyan has some cloth coupons and wants to buy a dress for Xue Yanchen. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was already 3 p.m.

Let's go there now.

"OK."

Luo Jingyan put on a thick cotton-padded coat, a cotton hat, a scarf, and gloves. She told Shen Ruyi that she was going to see a movie in the county town and might be back a little late that night, so she asked her to leave the door open for her.

Although she could bypass the Great Firewall, it was not a legitimate reason, so she needed to find a proper excuse to avoid giving anyone a reason to use against her.

Shen Ruyi didn't say anything. It was just a young couple going on a date, and she couldn't stop them, as long as they didn't come back too late.

There are no oxcarts going to the county town at this time, so they have to walk.

Halfway there, Xue Yanchen was worried that Luo Jingyan would get tired, but he couldn't carry her in broad daylight. He decided to make her a means of transportation when he returned at night.

"Are you tired?" he asked her.

"Not tired." Luo Jingyan shook her head: "We haven't gone very far yet. My legs are fine. I probably won't be tired when we get to the county town."

In an era when walking was the primary mode of transportation, most people had excellent stamina, and Luo Jingyan was not lying.

It was a little past four o'clock when they arrived in the county town. Luo Jingyan said, "Yanchen, it's still early. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first."

"Walk."

Once inside, Luo Jingyan led Xue Yanchen directly to the clothing section, specifically the men's clothing area.

Luo Jingyan pointed to the men's clothing and asked Xue Yanchen, "Which one do you like? Pick one, and I'll give it to you."

At this moment, Xue Yanchen felt incredibly happy; he was already very satisfied that she had this thought.

"Jingyan, you don't need to spend money on me."

“This isn’t about spending money. I want to buy clothes for my boyfriend as if I were buying clothes for myself. If you don’t like the clothes I buy for you, then I won’t buy them.” Luo Jingyan used reverse psychology.

"That's not what I meant. How could I not like it? But I still prefer you to pick it for me."

"Oh well."

Luo Jingyan looked through the clothes again and again, and finally chose a military green Type 65 military uniform. There was no other way, at that time, the clothing styles were either military uniforms or Zhongshan suits, and the colors were only military green, gray, blue and black, so there wasn't much room for choice.

"Do you like it?" Luo Jingyan asked him.

Xue Yanchen was overjoyed: "I like it, of course I like it."

"Won't he be allergic to this color?" After all, he wears clothes of this color so often.

"I originally liked this color, but I can only say you know what I'm thinking and have a good eye for choosing."

"What if I don't choose this color?"

"I like that too. I like anything you pick."

"Glib-tongued".

Luo Jingyan asked the sales clerk to get her a similar size and handed it to Xue Yanchen: "Try it on."

Xue Yanchen took off his military overcoat and put on the jacket. It fit him perfectly. His tall and well-proportioned figure, coupled with his handsome and extraordinary appearance, immediately made the jacket look very high-end.

Luo Jingyan shook her head; this man was practically a walking clothes hanger.

Luo Jingyan then had him try on the pants, which fit him well.

"Is there anything else you need?" Luo Jingyan asked.

"No need."

Luo Jingyan took the clothes, paid the bill, and left the supply and marketing cooperative. It was already past 4:30 in the afternoon.

Xue Yanchen said, "Let's go to the state-run restaurant to get something to eat first, otherwise the state-run restaurant will probably be closed by the time we come back after the movie."

At this time, the state-run restaurant had just opened after its afternoon break, and there were only one or two diners inside.

They found a seat by the window and sat down. Xue Yanchen asked Luo Jingyan, "What would you like to eat?"

Luo Jingyan wanted something vegetarian, "Just a plate of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar and a bowl of rice."

"That's it?" The man frowned, glancing subconsciously at her thin frame, which still looked frail despite wearing a cotton-padded coat. "Don't try to save money for me. I'm going to take care of you for the rest of my life. I can't let you suffer."

"Then let's have sweet and sour pork ribs too."

Luo Jingyan smiled, her eyes curving into crescent shapes. Her boyfriend cared about her, and she couldn't be too rude to him, otherwise he would definitely feel bad.

"OK."

Xue Yanchen then smiled and went to the window to order. He told Luo Jingyan what she had ordered, and he also ordered a tofu fish and a plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers.

At this moment, a few shady-looking young men entered. The man in the lead had seen Luo Jingyan sitting by the window from outside, and that's why he specially brought a few of his cronies in for a meal.

This person was none other than Li Jianguo, who had previously pursued Qin Zhenzhen but was rejected.

After Xue Yanchen ordered the food, he came back and sat down with Luo Jingyan. Only then did Li Jianguo realize that Luo Jingyan had a man with her. The beautiful woman actually had a boyfriend. How hateful!

He and the other thugs sat not far from Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen, separated from them by only one table. He would occasionally glance over their side.

The food Xue Yanchen ordered was prepared first, and Luo Jingyan went with him to the window to bring it over.

During the meal, because Xue Yanchen was sitting with his back to Li Jianguo, Luo Jingyan was facing the group of people. She noticed Li Jianguo's ulterior motives, but she didn't want to ruin the beautiful moment. As long as the other party didn't do anything rash, she could pretend she didn't see anything.

Xue Yanchen took care of her, carefully picking out the fish bones and putting them in her bowl to eat, and occasionally serving her other dishes.

She smiled and said, "I'm a grown woman, not a child. I don't need you to take such good care of me."

“Me.” The man’s movements suddenly stopped. “I know you can do anything, but I just can’t help wanting to take care of you and help you with things.”

Seeing that he looked a bit silly, Luo Jingyan compromised and said, "Alright, alright, you can take care of me if you want, I won't object."

The man seemed to come back to life, continuing to take care of his little girlfriend with unwavering diligence.

They ate slowly, while Li Jianguo's group ordered later than them. By the time they finished eating, Li Jianguo and his thugs were still eating.

It was already past five o'clock when they left the state-run restaurant. Xue Yanchen said, "Let's go to the movie theater first and wait inside for a while. If we wait until the movie starts, we might miss the beginning. If I don't watch the beginning of a movie, I might not understand what the story is about, and I'll be completely confused and frustrated."

"Me too, let's go then."

As soon as they left, Li Jianguo wiped his mouth and said he was about to leave with a few of his brothers. They pretended to be strolling around and followed Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen all the way until Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan entered the movie theater.
