It turns out that the temperature has been dropping steadily since the beginning of November. By mid-November, the daytime temperature in Haishi had dropped to around 17 degrees Celsius, and the nighttime temperature had also dropped to around 10 degrees Celsius.
Not only Haishi, but the entire Qinghua Kingdom has entered "late autumn mode", and some places have even entered "early winter mode".
So everyone took out their long-sleeved shirts and trousers, and when they put them on, they found that the shirts were too small and the trousers were too short.
Then, someone posted their findings online, and more and more comparison photos appeared.
And that's how the "nine-point photo" became a hit!
After numerous photos surfaced, netizens discovered that, following the "energy rain," men's height generally increased by 3 to 5 centimeters.
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating their increased height. Some of the guys even cried tears of joy because they had finally shed the label of "third-class disabled"...
While growing taller is a good thing, it also revealed another problem: there aren't any suitable clothes at home...
While the top can be made do, you can't wear these cropped pants from late autumn to the dead of winter, can you?
However, buying pants isn't so easy, because everyone has a quota!
If you're going to buy them, you'll need several pairs, inside and out. Are you planning to buy one pair of pants and never change them?
Before, I at least had a few pairs of pants to rotate, but now I plan to wear the same pair of pants until they're completely worn out.
Netizens commented that growing taller is a good thing, but it makes your pants wear out faster!
Since it's hard to buy pants, netizens came up with a solution: "change" them!
Strictly speaking, it can't really be considered an exchange, Bi Qiaoan thought; it was more like a gift.
Because the methods suggested by netizens can only be implemented in families with many siblings.
Well, specifically, taller people give their pants that they can't wear to shorter people, so that the shorter people have something to wear.
What about tall kids? Of course, the whole family pools their resources to buy them a few new pairs of pants!
However, the current clothing sizes in Qinghua Kingdom are determined based on the average height and weight statistics collected over the past twenty years. Therefore, the most common clothing sizes in Qinghua Kingdom are size 175 for men and size 160 for women.
Therefore, those who were originally short were basically unaffected, but those who were tall couldn't even buy ready-made clothes. They either had to wait for manufacturers to produce according to the new height standards, or they had to go to a tailor shop to have them custom-made.
This approach works for families with many siblings, but most people in Qinghua Kingdom are only children, and many don't like wearing other people's clothes. So how can this be resolved?
It's very simple, just splice it together, add another piece to your pants!
Although it's ugly, everyone does it, and being ugly becomes a fashion trend, leading the fashion trend in Qinghua Kingdom!
This development made Shen Yanming feel fortunate that he had bought plus-size clothing abroad, otherwise he would have had to wear patchwork pants.
However, appearances must be maintained; they still need to go shopping, and maybe they can find some plus-size clothing on the spot.
On Friday after get off work, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan shopping at Times Square, their usual haunt.
Times Square is the closest to Qingyu Community, and it has abundant supplies. However, due to its relatively high prices, the foot traffic is not very high.
Shen Yanming led Bi Qiaoan around for a while, and finally found two pairs of size 190 pants. Faced with a five-figure price tag, Shen Yanming paid without hesitation.
As for Bi Qiaoan's clothes, they were relatively easy to buy. However, Bi Qiaoan strongly stated that she didn't need them and gave her share to Shen Yanming, giving him two sets of plus-size thermal underwear.
Actually, all these clothes are in the space, but the two of them need to find a source for them.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan didn't linger in the clothing section; after all, just looking without buying was a bit tedious.
So, Shen Yanming dragged Bi Qiaoan to stroll around an unrestricted shopping area, only to find that the price of gold had actually doubled.
Well, this only shows that the international situation is uncertain, and people are starting to develop a sense of risk aversion.
Ignoring all that, Bi Qiaoan focused solely on admiring the beautiful jewelry. Just as she was about to ask the sales assistant to bring out a particular bracelet, she noticed Song Wenwen and a handsome man selecting jewelry not far away.
Bi Qiaoan frowned, took out her phone and called Jiang Shanshan, "Shanshan, is Miss Wen Nuan in a relationship?"
"No, she was complaining to me last night about how her family is pressuring her to go on blind dates! Why are you suddenly asking this?" Jiang Shanshan was a little surprised after receiving the call.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw a girl on the street from behind who looked a bit like Wen Nuan. There was a handsome guy next to her, so I thought it was Wen Nuan and her boyfriend. That's why I called you to gossip a bit," Bi Qiaoan said, half-jokingly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shanshan laughed and said, "I thought you were going to share some big secret with me. Hehe, I'll call you when Wen Nuan has something to say."
"Okay!" Bi Qiaoan hung up the phone after chatting with Jiang Shanshan for a few minutes.
Bi Qiaoan didn't go up to greet Song Wenwen again. She had already recognized that the man next to Song Wenwen was the same man who had sat opposite Song Wenwen at the Western restaurant that day.
Moreover, it seems that the two are more familiar with each other than they were that day.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanming asked when he saw Bi Qiaoan lost in thought.
Bi Qiaoan snapped out of her daze and pointed to the backs of the two people in the distance, saying, "Miss Wen Nuan and her friend."
Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further questions.
The two strolled around Times Square for another half hour before finally heading home with their bags full of purchases.
Once they were in the car, Shen Yanming said to Bi Qiaoan, "If you're curious, give her a call."
Bi Qiaoan shook her head. "Song Wenuan didn't tell Jiang Shanshan either. Maybe she really has nothing to do with that man, or maybe she doesn't want us to know about her relationship with him. I think I'd better not bring it up!"
Shen Yanming nodded. "That's fine too. No matter what, it's their private matter."
Meanwhile, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were speculating about the relationship between Song Wenwen and the handsome man in the car, while Song Wenwen was saying goodbye to the handsome man beside her.
"Brother Wei, I'm home now. You should go home too!"
Wei Liang nodded, "Wen Nuan, thank you so much for today!"
Song Wenwen smiled gently, "Husbands and wives should understand each other. Fangjie is just too insecure. Go back and comfort her, and you'll definitely be able to make up!"
Wei Liang stroked the small box in her hand and smiled, "I hope she will like this gift!"
Song Wenwen nodded, turned and went upstairs. Jiang Shanshan was already waiting for her at the door. "Oh my, you're back from your date?"
I was wondering why Qiao An was calling me. Turns out there's something going on with you. You're in a relationship, so why are you keeping it from me?
Darling, I won't fight you for it!
