Chapter 263

After arriving in the city, Zhu Shuangyan took them to the International Trade Center.

Ji Wanmei strolled around the second floor and bought Lei Tingjun a few pairs of socks and a pair of leather gloves.

When Lei Tingjun drives in winter, he wears the kind of rough hemp gloves that are used on construction sites. Although they are durable, they are not warm enough.

Ji Wanmei had seen him wear those gloves a few times and had always wanted to buy him a pair of genuine leather ones.

I happened to be at the China World Trade Center today and saw this, so I bought it.

After browsing for a while, Ji Wanmei bought two more bottles of insecticide and air freshener, as well as a box of soap and a bath towel.

She discovered that in Lei Tingjun's dormitory at the construction site, because there were many workers living together, fifteen or sixteen people, if the men didn't care about hygiene, the smell was indeed not very pleasant when you went in.

Since the men couldn't possibly use perfume, we bought an air freshener. As for the insecticide, we took it back to their work shed kitchen.

There are many workers eating on the construction site, and sometimes they buy ingredients and vegetables by the kilogram, which can easily attract mosquitoes and cockroaches when piled up there, so insecticides are very necessary.

As for the soap and bath towels, those were bought separately for Lei Tingjun.

He was a very simple person, both in terms of clothing and personal hygiene.

With just a towel and a bar of soap, you can wash your entire body.

Although Ji Wanmei liked the smell of his dry soap, it was best to keep hair washing and bathing products separate, so she bought this for him.

Zhu Shuangyan, who was watching from the side, said to Aqiang, "Miss Ji is so good to your Brother Lei."

The things she bought were all everyday items; she was so thoughtful. It made Zhu Shuangyan reflect on herself, realizing she hadn't been as considerate of A-Qiang.

Ah Qiang said, "My brother Lei treats her even better. He handed over all his assets to Miss Ji to manage a long time ago."

Zhu Shuangyan exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Ah Qiang quickly replied, "But don't worry, I'll give you my salary to manage later. Right now, our hometown is under construction, and I don't have much money left. Once the house is finished, I can start saving money."

Zhu Shuangyan blushed: "Who wants your money?"

Ji Wanmei came over with her purchases: "I've bought everything. Do you want to buy anything?"

A-Qiang and Zhu Shuangyan both shook their heads: "We don't need to buy anything."

They both live in the school dormitory, and since they're about to graduate, buying too much stuff would be a waste. They might as well save more money now.

As for A-Qiang, he lives with Lei Tingjun, so he can use the things Ji Wanmei bought.

"Alright, it's about time, let's go back," Ji Wanmei said.

Ah-Qiang drove back to the construction site.

After resting for a short while, Lei Tingjun returned.

He parked the pickup truck not far from the factory, quickly braked, opened the door, and strode out to walk over.

Ji Wanmei saw him from afar and went to greet him cheerfully.

Lei Tingjun was dressed in a black leather jacket, the zipper of which was solemnly and austerely zipped up, revealing a bronze-colored, cold face with deep and rugged features. He wore dark blue jeans and high-top leather boots. Tall and long-legged, he strode across the sandy construction site, exuding a cold aura with every step.

However, his aura softened instantly when he saw Ji Wanmei, and his entire face became gentle.

"Did you go out to play this morning?" He held Ji Wanmei's hand and asked softly.

"How did you know?" Ji Wanmei asked in surprise that he had guessed it so quickly.

"Your hair smells wonderful," he said.

Ji Wanmei realized that he was referring to her wearing perfume. Indeed, she had a habit of spraying a little perfume behind her ears before going out.

Lei Tingjun didn't understand these things. When he got close to her, he smelled the fragrance of her hair.

Across from them, A-Qiang and Zhu Shuangyan watched as the two of them walked over, chatting and laughing. A-Qiang raised his chin and said to Zhu Shuangyan, "That's my brother Lei."

Even without A-Qiang's introduction, Zhu Shuangyan guessed that it must be A-Qiang's Brother Lei when she saw a pickup truck that was driving very fast and wildly stop.

When Lei Tingjun stepped out of the car, Zhu Shuangyan was actually a little frightened when she saw Ling Zhou's sharp and cold aura and his expressionless face.

Ah Qiang always said how heroic and righteous his Brother Lei was, and how much he cared for his brothers.

Therefore, Zhu Shuangyan imagined him to be a very kind and cheerful person.

I never expected that meeting him in person would be like this...

Before the thought had even finished flashing through her mind, Zhu Shuangyan saw Ji Wanmei running over in small steps.

Then, the man who looked fierce and sharp, upon seeing Ji Wanmei, instantly lost all his coldness and hardness, and his gaze turned into one of deep affection and tenderness. When he looked at the woman beside him, his eyes were so gentle that they could melt hearts.

Zhu Shuangyan was surprised.

It's astonishing how much a person's aura can change over time.

When Lei Tingjun and Ji Wanmei approached, A-Qiang greeted them with a smile and asked, "Brother Lei, how did today's business deal go?"

"It went fairly smoothly," Lei Tingjun said.

As he spoke, his dark, deep gaze swept indifferently toward Zhu Shuangyan.

Zhu Shuangyan subconsciously shivered: "..."

A-Qiang took Zhu Shuangyan's hand: "Brother Lei, she's the Shuangyan I mentioned to you before. We're together now."

As Zhu Shuangyan approached, she felt the intimidating aura grow stronger, and she mustered her courage to say, "Hello, Brother Lei."
