It wasn't until 2 PM that Bai Qianmo, along with Gu Shenglin and Zhu Qinghan, emerged from the roast duck restaurant.
Gu Shenglin was carrying a bag containing a packaged roast duck.
He ate three today, while Zhu Qinghan, though much more refined in his eating manners, also ate one.
Bai Qianmo only ate some other specialty dishes.
After eating their fill, the three of them stood lazily by the roadside. It was a rare treat to have good weather in winter, and although it was still a bit dry and cold, it was quite comfortable to stand in the sun.
Gu Shengling grabbed Bai Qianmo's sleeve, pulling her a few meters away from Zhu Qinghan, and asked in a low voice, "Junior Sister, how did you persuade Zhu Qinghan last time? Why is she even more determined to stay in China after your persuasion? If this continues, I won't be able to go back and explain myself."
"I didn't try to persuade her." Bai Qianmo glanced at Gu Shenglin with a cold expression.
"No way, Junior Sister, didn't you say you were going to try to persuade her? I had all my hopes on you. Wait... what did you say to her? Suddenly she's like she's swallowed a magic needle, refusing to leave no matter what."
Bai Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled lightly, "I let her bravely pursue true love."
Gu Shengling: "..."
Suddenly, I felt a sense of despair.
I knew my junior sister was unreliable, but I didn't expect her to be this unreliable.
Rongyi then drove the car over.
"Get in the car."
"Where are we going?" Gu Shengling and Zhu Qinghan followed closely behind Bai Qianmo.
"You'll see when you get there."
...
A large shopping mall
Men's clothing store
Bai Qianmo selected two outfits that suited Gu Shengling: "Go and try them on."
Gu Shenglin was overjoyed: "Junior Sister, you're still the best to Senior Brother. You even thought of buying me clothes to wear."
"You're overthinking it. I just don't want to attract too many strange stares when I walk down the street."
Senior Brother: "......" Can't I let him be moved for a while?
The eldest brother's aesthetic sense is like living in the old society a hundred years ago, with only Zhongshan suits as the style and only black and white as the colors.
Bai Qianmo chose two sweaters, one blue and one dark green. Gu Shengling was fair-skinned, and with his naturally handsome inverted triangle figure, he looked very young in these two sweaters.
The saleswoman kept praising him, and Gu Shenglin looked at himself in the mirror.
"I feel like this outfit looks weird on me, I'd better change back..."
After being glared at by his junior sister, Gu Shengling swallowed the rest of his sentence.
Bai Qianmo said, "That's good, wrap it up."
While Gu Shenglin went to change his clothes, Bai Qianmo picked out two more pairs of pants for him.
During that time, I happened to glance at a gray men's shirt in the closet. The color was hard to describe with specific colors; it was gray with a hint of dark green. In short, it was very special, and the style was very good-looking. It stood out even just by being worn by the mannequin.
The sales assistant in the store noticed Bai Qianmo's gaze and immediately came over with a smile.
"Miss, you have excellent taste. This shirt is one of the newest items in our store, and it's a limited edition."
Gu Shenglin came out and saw the female sales assistant introducing men's shirts to Bai Qianmo. He was moved and walked over.
"Junior sister, I know you miss your senior brother, but I'm leaving in a few days, so two outfits to alternate will be enough."
Bai Qianmo ignored Gu Shenglin, her mind flashing to the size of Gu Jueye's shirt: "Get me a size 44."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
"Hey, wait a minute, junior sister, I can wear size 43."
Bai Qianmo finally looked away from the shirt and turned to Gu Shenglin: "It wasn't bought for you."
Gu Shengling: "..."
So he was just imagining things?
After choosing the shirt, Bai Qianmo went to the checkout counter to pay.
"Miss, your total bill is 137,999." The sales assistant's eyes almost disappeared from smiling.
Gu Shengling and Zhu Qinghan both widened their eyes in surprise.
"Junior sister, how many roast ducks can you buy at this price?"
Upon hearing the price, Bai Qianmo didn't even flinch, simply taking out a card and handing it over.
After swiping the card, I glanced at the bill.
Sure enough, the most expensive item was the shirt, which cost 88,000 yuan. Although it couldn't compare to the gift Gu Jueye gave her, it was still the first luxury item she had ever given him.
After buying men's clothing, Bai Qianmo led Gu Shengling and Zhu Qinghan, two simpletons, into the women's clothing store.
A female shop assistant stepped forward, her sharp eyes quickly sweeping over Bai Qianmo, Gu Shenglin, and Zhu Qinghan.
Bai Qianmo's outfit was relatively decent: a down jacket from a mainstream brand, a backpack costing a little over two thousand yuan, and pants and shoes from very ordinary brands.
Gu Shengling was dressed in a strange black Zhongshan suit, while Zhu Qinghan's clothes were even more like cheap street vendor items.
Therefore, after the three of them came in, the shop assistants basically categorized them as "people who can't afford it," and their attitude was naturally not very enthusiastic.
"What kind of clothes would you like to choose, miss?"
Bai Qianmo saw through the saleswoman's thoughts at a glance. Her gaze swept over the dazzling array of clothes, and she turned to Zhu Qinghan to ask, "Should you choose for yourself or should I help you choose?"
"Me?" Zhu Qinghan was stunned, pointing back at herself in astonishment.
"Now that the Yin family knows your whereabouts, it will be safer for you to wear women's clothing again."
Zhu Qinghan understood what Bai Qianmo meant, but she had been wearing men's clothing for many years, and suddenly changing back to women's clothing felt a bit strange.
