This high-end clothing store, located in a shopping mall, is large and very quiet.
Lin Qingyan had some impression of this brand; it was quite well-known in China. However, no matter how she looked at it, the clothes with their unique designs didn't seem to be the style Gu Fei would wear.
However, given Gu Fei's height and physique, he's practically a walking clothes hanger; he looks good in anything. I wonder what he would look like if he took off his formal shirt and trousers and put on a trendy T-shirt.
Lin Qingyan became interested and began carefully selecting clothes.
On the other side, Gu Fei stood to the side, his gaze casually sweeping over the row of men's clothing in front of him.
The sales assistants and store manager were all busy with their own things and didn't come forward to disturb them. However, if you looked closely, you would notice that their eyes would occasionally sweep over Gu Fei and Lin Qingyan.
"I've picked out an outfit, what do you think?"
Gu Fei shifted his gaze to Lin Qingyan, and to the outfit he was holding: a blue tie-dye short-sleeved T-shirt and black cargo pants. He glanced at it briefly and asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Qingyan said honestly, "I think it looks great. You'll definitely look cool and handsome in it."
Gu Fei said, "Okay, go and give it a try."
Lin Qingyan:?
Wasn't it supposed to be clothes for Gu Fei? How did it turn into him trying them on?
However, he quickly understood Gu Fei's intentions. This gentleman originally wanted to buy him clothes. Lin Qingyan was about to refuse, but before he could speak, Gu Fei pointed to the location of the fitting room.
"Give it a try."
His tone was calm, but it conveyed an undeniable authority. Gu Fei possessed a powerful aura befitting someone in a superior position; just standing there made him stand out from the crowd.
Lin Qingyan didn't want to spoil his mood, so he obediently nodded, turned around and walked into the fitting room. He was about to close the door when he didn't expect Gu Fei to follow him in.
Not only did she come in, but she also conveniently closed the door for him.
"..." Lin Qingyan subconsciously took two steps back, nervously gripping the clothes in his hands. How could he try on clothes with Gu Fei standing there? "Is there anything else?"
Gu Fei took two steps forward, closing the distance between them again.
The fitting room was small and enclosed. A tall man stood in front of Lin Qingyan, exuding a strong aura of masculinity. The man looked calmly at the boy with his deep eyes, creating a powerful sense of pressure.
The atmosphere between the two was strangely awkward.
Lin Qingyan took several steps back until her back hit the cold wall. Her dark, clear eyes widened slightly as she looked at the man in front of her with a mixture of confusion and nervousness.
The frightened little rabbit has returned.
Gu Fei thought to himself.
"What are you afraid of?" He walked up to Lin Qingyan, leaned forward slightly, and looked directly into the boy's eyes without any hesitation. His thin lips moved slightly: "Yan Yan?"
Lin Qingyan's heart skipped a beat.
It was because he heard the word "Yan Yan"—this was the first time Gu Fei had ever called him that. Although many people had called him that before, it sounded different coming from the man in front of him.
Perhaps it was because they were too close, their breaths seemed to intertwine, making this ordinary form of address feel intimate and ambiguous, like sweet nothings.
"Yan Yan," Gu Fei called out again.
This sound snapped Lin Qingyan back to reality. He hurriedly looked away and focused his gaze on the green potted plant in the corner. He pursed his lips and whispered, "I don't know what you're talking about."
But he knew his ears must be very red right now, probably because it was so hot and he was sweating, so he awkwardly changed the subject: "It's so hot here, let's go out first."
Gu Fei continued to look at him. "Answer me, what are you afraid of?" His deep, calm eyes were like a vast ocean, seemingly able to penetrate the skin and see into the boy's heart.
Lin Qingyan knew that his slightly abnormal reaction just now had not escaped Gu Fei's notice. What he was afraid of was actually something that did not exist. What he was more afraid of was the inferior and cowardly self deep inside him.
She didn't even dare to look up when others were staring at her.
Lin Qingyan's eyes were complex, containing a hint of pain and vicissitude that did not suit his age. He gritted his teeth, his facial lines were tense, and a blush rose on his fair cheeks, spreading to the tips of his ears, but he remained silent for a long time.
Gu Fei couldn't help but raise her hand and gently pat his head, saying softly with a hint of comfort, "I was being presumptuous. Please try on the clothes first."
Without pressing the previous question, Gu Fei turned and left.
The moment the door closed, Lin Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and placed it on the head where the man had touched him, slightly stunned.
His heart was beating faster than usual.
He didn't know if it was because the man noticed his abnormality, or because of the almost ambiguous distance between them just now, and that low, magnetic "Yan Yan," that made him lose his composure.
There was a full-length mirror in the fitting room. Lin Qingyan looked at herself in the mirror, her cheeks were flushed, and she was sweating profusely. She looked utterly disheveled.
He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
Gu Fei remained as calm as ever outside. Amidst the surprised and puzzled gazes of the sales assistants, he calmly emerged from the fitting room and waved to two of them without changing his expression.
"Mr. Gu, what are your orders?"
Gu Fei glanced around, pointing to the expensive clothes in front of him one by one, and casually said, "This one, this one, and this one... pack them all up, I'll give you the address later."
By the time Gu Fei finished speaking, the clothes in the hands of the two sales assistants had piled up into a small mountain. They were numb, completely numb.
After lingering inside for a while, Lin Qingyan finally changed her clothes and came out of the fitting room. The chaotic scene from before had long since returned to normal, and the sales assistants were still busy with their own work.
Because of what had just happened, Lin Qingyan was still a little reserved, while Gu Fei leaned lazily against the wall with his arms crossed, as if nothing had happened, and quietly looked at the boy for two seconds.
Lin Qingyan wasn't very tall, but he was slender and thin, with the youthful innocence and resilience of a teenager, so he looked tall and upright. Coupled with his fair and beautiful face, he could walk the runway.
Gu Fei said very bluntly, "It's beautiful."
Any clothes look good on a boy; it seems I should have picked out a few more outfits earlier, Gu Fei thought.
He then instructed the sales assistant, "I'll take this set too."
Lin Qingyan's mind was still a bit confused, and he even forgot to refuse. It wasn't until he changed his clothes and followed Gu Fei out of the store that he belatedly realized how much money Gu Fei had just spent on him.
He felt it was too expensive.
Gu Fei said, "This brand was acquired by the Gu family two months ago."
"..."
Lin Qingyan was speechless for a moment.
