Seeing that it was still early, the two decided to go shopping in the mall. Perhaps because it was almost Chinese New Year, there were promotions everywhere in the mall.
Regardless of food or clothing, the two walked to the entrance of a milk tea shop in the mall and saw that there was a buy-one-get-one-half-price promotion, so Xu Xiu bought two cups without hesitation.
When I got to the clothing section on the second floor, I thought I could take a look at some new clothes for the New Year. I realized that my parents would need to buy some, my girlfriend's mother and grandfather would need to buy some, and my own grandfather and maternal grandfather would need to buy some.
I thought about it and decided against it, as I had too much stuff. Although the store could ship it, I would definitely have to visit different stores due to my age and preferences, and I was afraid my foot would become uncontrollable.
After much consideration, I decided to buy new clothes for myself and my son first.
Upon arriving at a brand-name clothing store, I found they were indeed offering a discount on the second item and a third item.
Xu Xiu pulled Xiao Ruoyan inside. As soon as the shop assistant saw the two of them, he came up to introduce the place to them. It was clear that the boy was the one who would pay.
She kept praising Xiao Ruoyan's beauty and saying that Xu Xiu was lucky. Although she knew that the shop assistant's purpose in saying these things was not pure, she just liked it.
With a wave of his hand, he bought, bought, bought!
Xiao Ruoyan couldn't stop him no matter what she tried, making her seem like a rational guy and Xu Xiu like an impulsive shopping girl.
Xu Xiu only chose a down jacket and a pair of jeans for himself, while the rest of his clothes belonged to Xiao Ruoyan. His previous excuse was that his secretary shouldn't dress too poorly.
Now the reason is even more legitimate: my girlfriend has to dress well!
Xiao Ruoyan was very patient as she tried on each item one by one. Two shop assistants came over to help, realizing that she was a big customer.
After trying on seven or eight outfits, Xu Xiu finally chose three. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a couple's outfit that he had prepared for display, and he bought it without hesitation.
As they paid the bill and left, several shop assistants smiled and watched them go from the doorway.
Do you think this guy is a rich kid?
"This girl is very pretty. I'm so envious."
"Of course, how could a rich man date an ugly girl?"
"Too......"
Xu Xiu carried all the clothes by himself, while Xiao Ruoyan held two cups of milk tea, taking a sip herself and then feeding Xu Xiu a sip.
Just as the two were about to leave, they saw two familiar figures not far away, and they could smell the sweet and sour scent of love from afar.
Xu Xiu glanced at Xiao Ruoyan, who also saw the two people not far away, and nodded to indicate that she understood.
The two walked silently toward the two people not far away.
"Xiao Fan, Meng Qi, what's going on here?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the two quickly turned around and saw Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan with expressions of watching the drama unfold.
"You... what are you doing here?"
Ning Bufan's speech became somewhat incoherent.
"This is a shopping mall, so it's not normal for us to be here. The problem is that it's very unusual for you two to come out together alone."
Xu Xiu countered with a question.
"I was wondering why I hadn't heard from you today. So you were secretly on a date?"
"I... um..."
Ning Bufan's mind went blank; he didn't know how to answer the question.
"Xu Xiu, what are you doing? Do I need your permission to go shopping with Xiao Fan?"
Wang Mengqi said indignantly from the side.
"Oh my, so she's already protecting her husband?"
"Xu Xiu, say that again!"
"That's great news, Wang Mengqi! Congratulations on successfully finding a partner!"
Seeing Xu Xiu's smug expression, Wang Mengqi raised her fist to punch him, but Xu Xiu quickly hid behind Xiao Ruoyan, and they started playing a game of tag.
The four of them went to a dessert shop, ordered some desserts, and none of them mentioned what had just happened.
Seeing the large bags of clothes in Xu Xiu's hands, Wang Mengqi asked, "Xu Xiu, are you buying clothes or going wholesale?"
"I bought it for my girlfriend, why are you jealous?"
"They say you have to do something really wrong to go to such lengths to please your girlfriend!"
"Wang Mengqi, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth, can you?"
Who are you calling a dog?!
Without warning, the two started fighting again.
Ning Bufan and Xiao Ruoyan exchanged a glance and watched the battle with light smiles.
After finishing their snacks, Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi planned to go for a stroll, while Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan prepared to return to their staff dormitory, though they told them they were going back to their dormitory.
The staff dormitory is a secret base for two people, and they can't even tell their closest friends.
After parting ways, they found the old Volkswagen in the underground parking lot. Just as they got in the car and were about to start it, they suddenly realized that the car wouldn't start. Xu Xiu didn't pay attention at first, thinking that the battery was dead.
I found the phone number of a nearby car decoration shop on my phone and called to ask the owner to come and help me set up the power.
The two waited in the car for about ten minutes before the owner of the renovation shop drove over. After jump-starting the car, they found that it still wouldn't start, so it wasn't a problem with the battery. They checked the battery and found it was newly replaced.
The renovation shop owner said he would probably need to find a car repair shop to take a look, and if that didn't work, he would probably need to call a tow truck.
Xu Xiu immediately picked up the phone and contacted a tow truck. The two waited in the car for more than half an hour before the tow truck arrived. Xu Xiu then gave the tow truck driver an address.
At first, the driver didn't notice, but when he had just loaded the old Volkswagen onto the back of the car and was about to leave, he took a closer look at the address.
"Holy crap, Jin Cheng?"
Xu Xiu didn't say where he wanted to take it on the phone, and he hadn't decided yet. While waiting, he thought it best to take it back to the factory and let his father handle it himself.
The driver and Xu Xiu confirmed repeatedly, informing him that the shipping cost was not cheap.
Xu Xiu said he had already spoken to them and assured the driver about the shipping costs.
After confirming everything, the driver stepped on the gas and set off, hoping to get home early that night.
"Xiu, shall we take a taxi back?"
Xiao Ruoyan asked from the side.
Xu Xiu checked the time; the 4S store should still be open.
"We're going to a 4S dealership to look at a car."
"oh."
Xiao Ruoyan didn't think too much about it. She knew she couldn't defy Xu Xiu's decision, so she would obediently listen...
The two took a taxi to the Volkswagen 4S store and chose a Golf with a small body and decent space.
Before the saleswoman at the 4S store could say more than a few words, Xu Xiu said he was going to buy it and that he was in a hurry to go back and cook.
The salesperson was completely bewildered; it was the first time they'd encountered a customer who was more anxious to buy a car than the seller.
Since it was a full payment transaction, the procedures were very simple. Xu Xiu asked Xiao Ruoyan to take out her ID card. Xiao Ruoyan didn't know what it meant and thought that buying a car was like opening a hotel, which required two people's ID cards.
When Xiao Ruoyan saw the car owner's name, she immediately lost her composure.
"Xiu, how could you write my name?"
Why not?
"Your people are all mine, do you think this car can still run?"
Xiao Ruoyan knew that she could never win an argument with him, whether it was arguing or reasoning.
"Don't think about that now. Instead, think about how to drive back later."
"Me drive?"
"Do you expect me to drive your car?"
During the summer vacation, Xu Xiu forced Xiao Ruoyan, Ning Bufan, and Wang Mengqi to take the driving test. Although the two girls went through a lot of twists and turns, they finally passed the test.
What Xu Xiu didn't know was that his decision almost brought him back to life.
