To Jiang Xuan's surprise, Lu Shengye withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

He actually withdrew his hand!

What a disgrace!

Jiang Xuan said angrily, "What are you doing? You won't even hold my hand?"

Lu Shengye coughed awkwardly, his ear tips turning red. "I... I'm not ready yet."

Kang Hyun: ! !

Not ready? Your child is already five years old!

She snorted twice, "You, you really are the largest pencil case I've ever seen."

Lu Shengye asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? You're really good at putting on airs."

Lu Shengye: ?

Pretending to be a pen?

What's the meaning?

Why can't he understand?

"Never mind, let's go." Jiang Xuan tilted her head back and walked straight ahead.

Lu Shengye looked at his hand, thought for a moment, then smiled and strode after him.

Feitian Shopping Mall is the largest shopping mall in Ningzhou, with five floors and a very complete selection of goods.

They first went to the women's clothing section on the third floor.

There are many styles of clothing available. It's the height of summer, and the mall is selling both summer and autumn clothes.

She has always preferred neutral colors, so she chooses clothes in white, black, or beige and camel colors.

All autumn clothes are newly released and are not discounted.

After searching for a long time, I finally picked out two styles that were barely acceptable.

A white shirt, a beige cardigan, jeans, and a black midi skirt.

Two short-sleeved base layers, one white and one black.

Two short-sleeved shirts were 50% off, and all the clothes cost a total of 126 yuan.

This was a huge sum of money at the time; many families couldn't spend that much in a year.

Lu Shengye paid the money.

"I've bought them all. Let's go to the fourth floor and buy a few more for you."

Lu Shengye: "I don't need it. Do you think we need to buy anything else?"

Jiang Xuan shook her head, "No need, the clothes here are too expensive, it's not worth it."

"It's alright, just buy whatever you like, I can afford it."

"Is there anywhere around here that sells fabric? I want to make some clothes myself."

"I know a tailor shop where the master tailor is quite skilled. I'll take you there later."

"No, I want to do it myself."

Lu Shengye asked in surprise, "You can make clothes?"

Of course she can; in her past life, she studied fashion design.

Eighty percent of her clothes are handmade by herself.

In fact, Lu Shengye didn't need to be surprised. In this day and age, being able to sew simply wasn't a skill worth showing off.

Otherwise, why would women want a "three-turn-one-sound" wedding gift?

Isn't one of those turns just a sewing machine?

Jiang Xuan nodded, "I've learned some things at home."

"Okay, that works too. We have an old sewing machine from my mom at home. We'll go buy some fabric later, and you can use it for fun. We'll buy you a new one when you get married."

"good."

Upon reaching the second floor, Jiang Xuan saw an underwear store.

She wanted to buy it, but Lu Shengye was there, so she felt embarrassed to go in.

Perhaps sensing her thoughts, Lu Shengye handed her his wallet. "I'll go take a look over there first, then I'll come find you. Buy whatever you want."

"Okay. But it doesn't need to cost money, I brought my own."

"What's yours is yours, take it." With that, Lu Shengye strode away.

Jiang Xuan walked into the lingerie store and bought a white lingerie set and a T-shirt-style cotton nightgown.

Just as she was about to pay, she thought for a moment and then chose a black lace suit.

As she held the clothes and prepared to pay, the female shop assistant in her thirties blushed and her heart raced.

This girl looks to be only a teenager, but I never expected her to be so passionate.

It's hard to say whether any man who marries a woman like this will be happy or sad.

She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xuan a few more times.

Jiang Xuan: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. I just think you're quite pretty."

After leaving the lingerie store, Jiang Xuan went to the other side to find Lu Shengye.

The two went down to the first floor.

The first floor sells shoes, bags, and jewelry.

Jiang Xuan bought another pair of sneakers.

She originally wanted to buy a white one, but considering the strong winds and sandstorms here, she finally chose a black one.

"That looks like the fabric section, let's go take a look."

Lu Shengye: "Let's go."

"Platoon Leader Lu." A girl's voice called out.

Lu Shengye and Jiang Xuan turned around, and He Yan and Li Xiaxia caught up.

They were all members of the performing arts troupe, and they went out shopping after their day off, even dressing up specially.

They were all wearing skirts.

He Yan unbraided her hair, revealing a red headband adorning her waist-length hair.

Li Xiaxia has short hair, adorned with a few pretty butterfly clips.

He Yan glanced at Jiang Xuan and said, "Platoon Leader Lu, it really is you! Xia Xia told me it was you, but I didn't believe it."

"Um."

"Platoon Leader Lu, who is this?"

"My girlfriend, Jiang Xuan."

"Huh? You, you have a boyfriend?" He Yan's eyes widened like saucers.

Li Xiaxia pulled He Yan aside and whispered, "Didn't you say you were going to buy hair clips? Let's go."

"Oh, right, Platoon Leader Lu, did you drive here? When are you going back to the military region? Would it be convenient for you to give us a ride back?"

Lu Shengye replied without hesitation, "It's inconvenient."

"Oh, then we're off. Goodbye, Platoon Leader Lu."

The two of them quickly left.

Jiang Xuan: "Who are they?"

"From the military region's cultural troupe."

"I like you?"

"No."

"Why do they seem so strange, like you can't have a partner?"
