Chapter 126 Shopping
In the end, it was Grandma Qu who came to Jinran's rescue. Jinran still fled in a panic, making up an excuse and saying, "I still have a lot of things to buy. School is about to start, so I need to get ready. I'll come over for a free meal then."
After leaving Tuantuan's house, with a big tail following behind, Jinran smiled and pretended not to care, saying, "Tuantuan was just joking, don't worry about it. When Tuantuan grows up a bit more, she'll forget about it."
Gu Siyan said with worry, "But it's been several years, and he hasn't forgotten. Moreover, whenever a female classmate appears around me, Tuantuan will chase her away, saying that I am engaged and I must keep my engagement."
Jinran: ".............." Please let her go, okay? Today was too stimulating for her.
Seeing that things were going well, Gu Siyan decided to stop and asked, "Is there anything you want to buy? I'm familiar with the capital, so I can take you around."
Jinran wanted to refuse, but seeing the look on Gu Siyan's face that seemed to say, "You're going to abandon me," she impulsively said loudly, "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Gu Siyan's smile was even more captivating, and Jinran's eyes sparkled. If she could bring this person home, it would definitely be a lot of fun.
Jinran didn't actually want to buy anything; she had just made up an excuse. Since that was the case, she decided to buy clothes for her grandparents and parents.
Gu Siyan took her to a clothing store. The store had clothes at all price points, and the clothes were very fashionable, with many suitable options.
Jinran quickly made her selections. The five pieces of clothing only cost forty-two yuan, and the thick wool sweaters felt soft and luxurious to the touch.
Gu Siyan took the clothes package and asked Jinran, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Jinran thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Everyone says that the hot pot in Beijing is especially delicious. Let me treat you to dinner; you choose the place."
Gu Siyan smiled and said okay.
Jinran couldn't help but ask, "Can individuals open shops now? I was just about to ask that, and the owner was so nice."
"Only a few individuals with connections and audacity are running self-employed businesses. The authorities are now providing some support to see if the development is feasible. Anyway, no one is investigating. At the same time, the authorities are also holding meetings to study whether to completely restore the market, which is probably not far off."
Jinran nodded in understanding. Then she would have to set up a stall and do business. She had a huge amount of gold and silver jewelry, but she had no legitimate reason to do so.
We'll have to figure it out ourselves. Let's wait a bit longer, no rush.
She went to the post office and mailed the clothes and letters she had prepared for her parents and grandparents. Then she skipped and hopped along with Gu Siyan to have dinner.
Jinran was stuffed after the meal; it was so delicious! It felt completely different from the place in the space. This place is great; I'll definitely come back often.
Gu Siyan seemed to see through Jinran's thoughts and said calmly, "This restaurant is owned by my friend. Normally, they don't reserve tables for people who aren't familiar with the place." The subtext was, if you don't bring me, don't even think about eating here.
Jinran understood, and then said ingratiatingly, "Next time I want to buy something, I'll come to you, and we'll come eat again!"
Gu Siyan smiled and nodded. "Okay."
But when it came time to pay the bill, Gu Siyan said, "No need for you. I have money stored here. It would be ridiculous to let a girl pay for my meal. How about you treat me to a movie?"
Jinran thought about it and agreed.
So the two watched another film, *Romance on Lushan Mountain*. When the supposedly intimate scenes came on, gasps erupted in the theater.
Jinran, do you have many children?
Is that all? It's not even as interesting as the comments in her head.
Gu Siyan looked at the little girl sitting next to him and smiled radiantly.
After leaving the movie theater, Jinran breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu Siyan, "Next time, you must let me treat you to a meal. It's better not to come to the movie theater."
Seriously, it's so tiring to watch. It's like when I was broke and found pirated movies on my phone – all shaky and blurry.
Gu Siyan agreed, and the two took the bus back to school, marking the end of the day.
Gu Siyan said to Jinran, "You'll be starting class tomorrow, but there are still so many places in the capital you haven't explored. I'll come find you next week when you have your day off, and I'll take you there."
Jinran did not refuse and simply said yes.
Neither of them resisted the subtle approach between them, and they were quite satisfied with their tentative relationship.
Jinran returned to her dormitory and found no one there. That was great!
I washed and dried the new clothes in the room, then folded and stored them away.
Then I lay in bed reading. But all I could think about were the moments I spent with Gu Siyan today. This man is so handsome it's impossible not to be moved.
Wait... Shen Jinran, stop! At this rate, we'll be getting to the scene with Yama, it's too dangerous. Wiping away his drool, he knew this wouldn't do. He needed to tie him up if he got the chance, not just think about it. He had to take action.
