Although these items were the best of everything he owned, they just looked strange together.

Xiao Liu didn't know the word "collation," and there was a big question mark on his big head.

"Of course! Look how nice this black coat is! And look at this bright red sweater, which Auntie just knitted for you! And these trousers, so crisp and clean! Paired with this green scarf and glasses, it looks amazing!"

After being praised by his comrades, the question mark on Xiao Liu's head was gone, replaced by a strong sense of confidence.

I'm definitely the most handsome.

Pushing his glasses up his head, Xiao Liu said confidently, "Brothers, wait for my triumphant return!"

Xiao Liu strode out, confident that his outfit today would absolutely stun the girls.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao, sister-in-law, I'm sorry I'm late."

Gu An'an was whispering something with Xiao Yuheng when she heard Xiao Liu's loud voice and looked up. She was almost blinded by the red and green toad in front of her.

The round, small sunglasses perched on the big head already looked ridiculous, but with the green scarf, red sweater, and green pants, plus a touch of yellow, it really looked like a traffic light.

"Hey Liu! Are you planning to wear this to your blind date?"

Xiao Liu lifted his sunglasses up again, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't I look great in this outfit? Everyone says I'll definitely succeed in my blind date if I wear this."

Gu An'an: ...Who exactly gave you this confidence?

Well, the individual items are all good, but when put together, they're a joke. I don't know if those who say it looks good really have bad taste or are just deliberately making fun of it.

"Um, why don't you go back and change your clothes?"

Instead of receiving the praise he expected, and even sensing disdain, Xiao Liu's malicious expression vanished instantly. "Sister-in-law, isn't this pretty?"

Xiao Liu looked down and examined it again and again. It couldn't be that bad, could it?

"Well, it's not that it looks bad, but if you wear this to a blind date, you're likely to fail."

Anyway, if Xiao Yuheng had met her dressed like that, even if he had a good face, Gu An'an would probably have had to think twice. After all, having no sense of aesthetics is quite a headache.

But they all say...

Xiao Liu had already been brainwashed by his comrades and still wanted to prove something with his clothes, but Xiao Yuheng kicked him in the butt.

"Just go and change it when I tell you to. Why are you making so many questions?"

Xiao Yuheng also disliked this outfit. He was the one who introduced the person, and if he were to wear this, he would be the one to lose face.

"I'll change it, okay? But sister-in-law, what kind should I get?"

He genuinely didn't know what to wear, after all, straight men don't really have much of an aesthetic sense.

"Go and help him put together an outfit."

Having known Xiao Yuheng for so long, Gu An'an recognized his impeccable fashion sense and decided to have him accompany her.

When the two returned, Xiao Liu had changed his clothes. Although they weren't as new or fashionable as the previous ones, at least he didn't look like a traffic light or a green toad.

"Sister-in-law, is this outfit really okay?"

This is too ordinary and doesn't highlight his unique features at all. What if the girls don't like it?

"Okay! You trust me."

Gu An'an's affirmation gave Xiao Liu a bit of confidence.

"Hurry up and get on the bus. If you're late and make the girl wait, the blind date is definitely going to fall through."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu immediately stepped on the gas, and the car shot off with a "whoosh".

Xiao Yuheng grabbed Gu An'an in time, "Don't be afraid! That's just how he is. He drives fast whenever he says he's in a hurry, but he's a very good driver, so don't worry about An'an."

Xiao Liu was a little embarrassed, since he wasn't as rugged as before, so he quickly slowed down. "Sorry, sister-in-law, I was just used to it."

Gu An'an was not angry about this. Besides, she had driven many flying cars in her previous life, so what she just did was nothing.

"Don't worry, drive. It'll be fine."

Xiao Liu's driving skills were indeed excellent. He drove very fast but smoothly, and arrived at his destination twenty minutes earlier than scheduled.

"Xiao Qing".

Liu Xiaoqing took a special leave of absence, but they still met at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Sister, brother-in-law."

After greeting him, Xiao Qing's eyes unconsciously drifted towards Xiao Liu. He was a bit dark-skinned, but tall and good-looking. More importantly, his clear and honest eyes gave her a sense of security.

"This is Liu Xiaoqing, who works at the supply and marketing cooperative. Xiaoqing, this is Platoon Leader Liu. Please get to know each other."

The two young people seemed to have a good first impression of each other, which was evident from their shy expressions.

"Alright, we two have things to do. You two find somewhere to chat, and we'll meet here at 2 PM."

"OK."

Xiao Liu responded somewhat impatiently.

After Gu An'an and the other person left, Xiao Liu took the initiative and suggested, "How about we find a place to sit down?"

“Okay, there’s a pavilion up ahead, we can go sit there.”

As soon as she sat down, Liu Xiaoqing talked about her previous relationship. "I'm telling you this now just so you know about it. If you mind, we can just consider ourselves friends."

Lately, some people have introduced her to potential partners, but after learning about what happened before, they all backed out. Some even thought she was too unreasonable and that it was no wonder she was dumped.

Despite her anger, she decided to bring the matter up openly, otherwise she would only hurt herself if she regretted it later.

Moreover, that incident was also a good way for her to screen potential partners; she would reject anyone she couldn't accept.

“You did the right thing. Since the money was borrowed, even if the two of you are a couple, you still have to pay it back, let alone the fact that you two broke up.”

"Besides, he's trying to climb the social ladder, wanting more than he has. That's a matter of character. Why should we let him go just because he paid back the money? I think you did the right thing. At least it lets other girls see his true colors. Otherwise, maybe another innocent girl will be deceived by him."

The more he talked, the brighter Liu Xiaoqing's eyes became. "You really think I did the right thing?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you about something like this? If you choose to swallow your anger, I'll have to find a reason to go back now. There's no point in forcing people to stay together if we're not on the same path."

"By the way, if he ever comes to you acting all high and mighty again, just tell me, and I promise I'll make sure he never dares to show his face again."

Liu Xiaoqing was genuinely happy. She had originally thought that it would be fine if the other party didn't mind, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so supportive of her actions and even want to help her "get revenge".

"You don't need to lift a finger. Last time, my eldest brother beat him so badly he was screaming for his mother. If he dares to come again, my second brother is waiting for him."

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically, and before they knew it, it was time for dinner.

"Let's go eat."

"Walk!"

There was only one state-run restaurant here. When Gu An'an saw the two of them chatting and laughing as they entered the restaurant, a smile appeared on her lips. This was going to be interesting!
