After school, the two did not go home the same way they came, but instead took a roundabout route to a small shopping mall. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were not many people around.
"Not many people, perfect." Wen Mo stood at the mall entrance, smiling as he looked at the bright lights shining through the glass doors. "Let's go in."
"Not going home...?" Xia Lian asked, somewhat puzzled, but still followed behind like a penguin.
"We have other things to do, so we're not in a hurry to go home."
Wen Mo led the way, glancing at the navigation on his phone every now and then, and finally stopped at a store. "Okay, this is it."
Xia Lian tilted her head. "A lingerie store?"
"I already said it's a swimsuit."
Wen Mo smiled and shook his head, then pulled her forward.
Even in winter, swimwear shops remain open, though customer traffic is low, there are occasionally a few customers who want to go winter swimming.
The shop assistant, who was sitting at the counter playing on his phone, immediately put down his phone with a smile and walked over while rubbing his hands together when he saw a customer.
"Welcome, welcome! Are you here to buy a swimsuit?"
The shop assistant was a pretty woman in her early twenties with a professional smile, but beneath that smile lay an undeniable hint of curiosity.
Are two young people going winter swimming?
Although it has happened before, most young people only have a three-minute attention span. They get frozen solid as soon as they touch the ice water, let alone go for a swim.
Wen Mo coughed twice, pulled Xia Lian to his side, and replied with a smile, "Yes, please help her pick one out."
The shop assistant's eyes lit up. She bent down slightly to examine the little girl closely. Although staring at her for too long would seem a bit impolite, she was still captivated by her face for a long time.
Seemingly a little nervous from being stared at, Xia Lian lowered her head and looked at her toes, her left hand tightly gripping Wen Mo's clothes.
"Ah... I'm so sorry." The saleswoman smiled awkwardly and scratched her head, resuming her usual business mode. "Little sister, how tall are you? Let's buy something that fits you. First, see if there are any styles you like."
Upon hearing this, Xia Lian slightly raised her head, and after a while, she whispered, "159..."
"Oh, I see. Now take a look and see if there's anything you like, and I'll get it for you."
The shop assistant followed by him with a smile, her gaze shifting back and forth between Wen Mo and Xia Lian.
Student couples, how novel!
And since they're even wearing swimsuits together, their relationship must be more than just close.
Wen Mo had never accompanied a girl to buy a swimsuit before, but he still had a good eye for them, and he looked around the one-piece swimsuit section with great interest.
"This white one looks nice... but it seems a bit too ordinary." He muttered to himself, taking off the one-piece swimsuit and about to call Xia Lian over, when he noticed that the girl was already holding a pink bikini that didn't suit her age.
"Wenmo, this."
"...Isn't this one a little too mature?"
Wenmo pinched his chin, not to belittle his beloved, but if she were to wear this bikini... he probably wouldn't even be able to fill it out.
"Doesn't it look good?" Xia Lian tilted her head, holding the bikini up to herself.
"It's not that it doesn't look good, I just mean it doesn't suit you." Wen Mo put the bikini back in its place, turned around and handed Xia Lian the white one-piece swimsuit he had just picked out. "This one should look good on you."
First of all, the style is very conservative and doesn't reveal too much skin.
In addition, it's quite form-fitting, so it should be quite comfortable to wear.
After all, with a height of 159 cm, even the smallest person can fit into the clothes.
Xia Lian nodded and, without any hesitation, took the swimsuit and went into the fitting room.
Wenmo paced back and forth at the door, chatting with the shop assistant for a while.
"Are you two a couple?" The shop assistant handed him two tangerines.
Wenmo stared at the counter full of orange peels, his eyelids twitching wildly.
"yes."
"Really? How long have you been together?" The shop assistant seemed very curious about the topic of love and asked with a smile.
We've been together for almost a month.
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant looked surprised. "You've only been together for a month and you're already so close that you're buying swimsuits?"
Wen Mo choked on his words, feeling an explosion of sweet and sour orange flavor, while his eyes darted around guiltily. "It's probably because we were quite close before we got together."
"Oh my god, look at this handsome guy, he's so good at talking, hehehe..." The shop assistant patted his back with a smile, "So, which one of you pursued whom?"
Wen Mo paused, unsure how to answer the question for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he blushed and said, "It should be... I was the one who pursued her."
The two chatted for a while, and then a quiet reply came from the fitting room.
"Wenmo, all changed."
"You've changed it? Does it fit... Holy crap!"
Wen Mo responded from outside, but unexpectedly, the shop assistant threw away the orange peel, suddenly pushed him into the fitting room, then drew the curtain, clapped her hands, and called out with a smile, "Just go in and take a look, and you'll know whether it fits or not."
The space inside wasn't large. Wen Mo pressed himself against the wall, barely daring to breathe. Looking awkwardly at Xia Lian, who was staring at him with a puzzled expression from the corner, he said, "Would you believe me if I said I was pushed in?"
Fortunately, Xia Lian didn't care too much. Her skin was already fair, and after putting on that pure white swimsuit, she looked even fairer. There wasn't an ounce of fat on her thighs and waist. She twirled around in front of him.
Xia Lian's expression remained unchanged as she twirled her little feet around. Her hands were obediently placed beside her thighs, and she stared blankly at Wen Mo.
"Is it pretty...?"
Glug...
Wen Mo swallowed hard, wanting to look away but unable to look away. After a long while, he slowly nodded, "It's...it's quite beautiful..."
After saying that, he realized that he was still in the fitting room, but he didn't dare to make any rash moves. He waited until Xia Lian had changed her clothes before lifting the curtain and coming out.
The shop assistant stood in front of the counter, seemingly anticipating what Wen Mo would say, and smiled obligingly as she took out the QR code.
Do I need to exchange the size?
"No need, it's just right." Wen Mo said with an embarrassed smile, after all, he had already seen it clearly, and it really was just right. "Wrap it up for me."
After collecting their packed clothes, the two left through the door amidst the shop assistant's ambiguous gaze.
"This older sister is really interesting." Perhaps feeling a little awkward, Wen Mo took the initiative to change the subject.
"Hmm." Xia Lian nodded, hugged his arm, and a hint of doubt appeared on her expressionless face. "Are we going swimming?"
"Hehe, I guess so."
Wen Mo smiled mysteriously, took out his phone and dialed a familiar number. It took a while for the call to be answered.
"Hey Mom, are you and Dad home tonight?"
"Not home? That's great!"
"Ahem, that's not what I meant. You can continue playing mahjong." Wen Mo smiled. "I just wanted to say that my water heater is broken. Could I borrow your bathroom?"
