Even after leaving the dealership and walking under the streetlights as snowflakes danced, Lin Mo still couldn't believe that Xu Lin, who had always been so rude to him, had actually come to him and said she wanted to spend New Year's Day with him! And, she even held his hand...
The young man's face flushed and he felt like his head was starting to smoke.
Suddenly, there was a noise all around. He looked around and realized something was wrong: "Lin, Linlin, we are in the wrong place. The rental house is not in this direction."
People were coming and going under the rows of small sheds in front, eating barbecue, fried rice, and candied haws wrapped in sandpaper. The air was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of food, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Xihe knew that Lin Mo had been working hard to make money every day since following Xu Lin to the imperial capital for three years, and had never been to a place like this. Her heart softened and she said gently:
"Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, we can come back later. Now let's go buy clothes."
As he said that, he pulled him into the elevator of the nearby shopping mall and pressed the button for the third floor.
"Yes, it's time to buy clothes, Linlin. Take a look and see what you like and let's buy them." Lin Mo was immediately annoyed and secretly cursed himself for being irresponsible and forgetting to buy clothes for Linlin!
"Um."
Xihe smiled without saying anything. After the elevator stopped at the third floor shopping mall, she pulled Lin Mo straight to the men's clothing area.
"Miss, are you looking for a coat or inner wear? Your boyfriend is tall and has long legs, so anything he wears will suit him." The salesperson's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them. He ran over and began to enthusiastically introduce the clothes in the store.
Although she was also very curious why the young lady was dressed so well, her boyfriend was wearing a tattered old cotton jacket that looked not warm at all.
But guests are welcome!
"No, I'm not..."
"Look at the coat first."
Lin Mo was interrupted by Xihe before he could finish his refusal. She walked over and took down a black down jacket from the rack: "Go try it on."
Lin Mo waved his hands hurriedly: "Linlin, I don't want it, my clothes are still wearable... No, don't be angry, I'll go right away." Seeing Xihe's gloomy face, he suddenly became anxious, quickly took the clothes and ran to the fitting room.
Linlin finally managed to smile at him. He absolutely couldn't possibly make her angry. He could just buy the clothes first and return them later. But...the new clothes were so warm.
Lin Mo took off his cotton coat and carefully put on his down jacket. Suddenly, his whole body was wrapped in the soft duck down. Warmth swept over him, and he couldn't help but sigh in comfort. It's so warm.
“Knock, knock.”
The sudden knock on the door startled Lin Mo. He quickly zipped up his pants and said, "Hey, that's good." Then he lifted the curtain.
"Linlin."
Unexpectedly, Xihe was right at the door. Lin Mo tugged at his sleeves and asked nervously, "What, what's going on?"
"Not bad, try this sweater and these pants again." After looking them up and down, Xihe nodded and handed the clothes in his hand over.
"Oh, okay."
Since he had already put on all the clothes, he wouldn't make a difference with just one more. Lin Mo took the clothes, returned to the fitting room, and quickly changed.
He was only wearing four pieces of clothing, so it was easy to take them off. He soon opened the curtain again.
The young man was tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He wore a gray turtleneck sweater with woolen trousers of the same color and a black cotton jacket. He looked completely different from the image he had just seen when he came out of the refugee camp.
Especially when he raised his cheek at this moment, his angular face was completely exposed under the light, with sword-like eyebrows, straight nose bridge, lips of appropriate thickness, and especially his eyes, which were as clear as a stream.
Even though his skin was a little dark and he had frostbite on his cheeks, it did not diminish his handsomeness at all.
"Good, so handsome!"
The salesperson who had been following next to her was stunned and couldn't help but look at Xihe with admiration. The young lady really has a good eye for talent.
"It looks good." Xihe also smiled.
When she first saw Lin Mo sitting at the door in his dirty work clothes, staring blankly outside, with his ankles and wrists exposed to the cold air, she decided that she had to buy her man some clothes first!
"Really?"
Lin Mo's face flushed red from the praise, and his eyes were so moist that he looked around, but he didn't dare to look at Xihe.
"Yeah, really." Xihe stepped forward to zip up his clothes, then turned to the salesperson and said, "I want all the clothes, and another set of pants and sweater."
"Okay, okay! I'll pack the clothes inside for you as well." The salesperson was very enthusiastic.
