Xiao Ruan and this auntie were indeed very close. Hearing this, she acted as if she were pouting at a familiar elder, stomping her foot and saying in a spoiled tone, "Oh! Auntie~"
The auntie turned her head with a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, alright!"
"The little girl is shy~"
Seeing Xiao Ruan's flushed cheeks, she turned around with a smile, "I must say, that young man was really handsome! If I were younger, I would have pursued him!"
When these words reached Xiao Ruan's ears, she lowered her head, her eyes flickered, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
When Xie Yan bought the sponge cake, she glanced at the tickets Gu Che had paid out and found they were all sorts of things.
I threw them all into my spatial storage, picked out the tickets, and specifically chose those that were about to expire, planning to spend them all later.
He doesn't pick and choose; he buys whatever tickets are available.
When Yuehui, carrying four cans of food and sweating profusely, squeezed through the crowd, Xie Yan had already brought quite a lot of things: candy, cakes, cookies, melon seeds, peanuts, hawthorn candy, and dried persimmons, piled up like a small mountain.
Yu Yuehui looked at the huge pile of things, her eyelids twitching involuntarily. She quickly ran over, took the things from his hands, frowned, and scolded, "Why did you buy them yourself?"
"With so many people jostling around, what if someone bumps into an injured hand?" Her eyes were full of worry as she looked Xie Yan up and down, carefully checking him for any injuries.
Xie Yan calmly explained, "I was careful, and I didn't go to any crowded places!"
"I only go to deserted places, and besides, I can't do anything reckless after I've bought everything. I'm just waiting for you!" he said, shaking his hand in his pocket to indicate that he was alright.
Yu Yuehui took his hand out of his pocket, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright. She then asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Xie Yan produced the tickets in his hand as if by magic, and said excitedly, "There are a few cloth tickets here. Let's go see if there are any nice cloths to buy."
This time, Yu Yuehui stood closely beside Xie Yan, like a loyal guard, constantly watching the surrounding crowd to ensure that Xie Yan's injured hand was well protected and that no one's clothes were touched.
There weren't many people buying fabric today, but the shelves were overflowing with a dazzling array of fabrics in various colors.
Everyone else is visiting relatives, and there aren't many people as free as Xie Yan.
Just as they were choosing fabric, they unexpectedly ran into Gu Che.
To be honest, Xie Yan was a little surprised. He was slightly taken aback, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Gu Che's gaze inadvertently swept over Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui. After a slight pause, he put down the fabric he was carefully examining and strode steadily toward them.
Amidst the bustling crowds and the cacophony of conversations and footsteps in the department store, Gu Che's gaze remained fixed on the two individuals.
As he approached, Gu Che first nodded slightly to Xie Yan, the gesture extremely simple, with a hint of barely perceptible stiffness.
Then, he turned his gaze to Yu Yuehui and asked with a slightly serious expression, "I want Zhang Shiyu to make clothes, and I'll send her some fabric as payment. What kind of fabric do you think she likes?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan was suddenly struck by a realization: the root of everything was Zhang Shiyu!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant: Why is Gu Che so concerned about Zhang Shiyu?
These two people should have had no connection before.
Yu Yuehui explained that Gu Che's loss of composure today was not solely due to the dark pattern on his clothes.
To be honest, if Gu Che hadn't specifically pointed out those dark patterns a few days ago, he wouldn't have noticed them at all.
How could Gu Che have noticed such a well-hidden pattern at a glance?
There must be something fishy going on here; this is definitely not normal!
Xie Yan didn't believe a word Gu Che said about his mother or grandmother.
This sounds plausible at first glance, but it doesn't stand up to close scrutiny.
Xie Yan and Yu Yue had been very attentive to this leather jacket for quite some time, but neither of them noticed the hidden pattern.
Gu Che noticed it with just a glance!
The reason he could perceive it so vividly is not because of what he said, but rather because he observed it every day and repeatedly depicted it, which is why he was so familiar with every detail and every change.
It has a deeply unforgettable feeling.
Thinking of this, Xie Yan's DNA immediately kicked in, and the story of a resilient female protagonist saving an injured tycoon came to mind.
According to the timeline, it should be around the time Zhang Shiyu was in school.
Zhang Shiyu, who was going to school alone, encountered Gu Che, a special forces leader who was injured and had fainted.
She saved Gu Che.
During his recovery, Gu Che gradually became attracted to the resilient and courageous Zhang Shiyu, and through his deliberate flirting, the two gradually developed feelings for each other.
During that period, Zhang Shiyu must have made clothes for Gu Che, and she also embroidered this kind of subtle pattern.
But after Gu Che recovered from his injuries, he left without saying goodbye in order to carry out his mission.
Zhang Shiyu waited for him in the rented room for a while, but he never showed up. Disheartened, she returned to school.
When Gu Che finished handing over the task and came looking for Zhang Shiyu, she was already gone.
He searched frantically, but couldn't find Zhang Shiyu.
Unable to find the girl he loved, he began to suffer from anxiety and insomnia, only able to fall asleep each night by holding the dress his beloved had embroidered.
That's why I have such a deep and unforgettable familiarity with the dark patterns.
Thinking this, Xie Yan glanced at Gu Che over there. He had to admit, Gu Che had the air of a special forces boss!
Perhaps this story might actually be true!
Xie Yan's mind was racing with thoughts, but he remained calm on the surface, showing no sign of anything amiss.
He deliberately cast his gaze toward the pile of cloth beside him, as if he wasn't the one who had just been lost in thought, sparing Gu Che not even a spare glance.
Regardless of Gu Che's unspeakable difficulties, the fact remains that he caused his own injury.
Even though Gu Che offered compensation, his wrist still stings. This pain cannot be soothed by money, and no one can bear it for him.
He loves money, but he's even more afraid of pain.
Therefore, no matter what Gu Che's reasons were, he could not easily forgive Gu Che's insane behavior today.
Xie Yan suppressed his emotions and began rummaging through the pile of fabric.
He found a few pieces of pure cotton fabric, mainly black and white, but felt it was a bit too little. It wasn't easy to come to the city, so he wanted to find some other fabrics that felt better against the skin. His fingers ran through the fabrics, feeling their texture.
As I was rummaging through the fabric, I found a piece of white and blue printed cloth underneath.
The elegant color and unique pattern instantly attracted him. Xie Yan's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a treasure. He pulled out the fabric and said to the salesperson, "I want five feet of each of these three types of fabric."
