At seven o'clock, the nightlife in the mall has not yet begun.
The air was humid, and even the wind blowing in my face couldn't erase the burning sensation brought by the humidity.
Sweating profusely is not just an exaggeration. You can smell the sweat even if you are close to her, let alone being on He Wenxiu's back.
Xie Zhiyi frowned, feeling the pressure of the crowd. Some people pointed at him with ill intentions, and some took out their phones to take pictures. He even heard people around him whispering about him.
"How old are you and still want someone to carry you on their back, especially a man?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. This is a pleasure between two men."
"What kind of fun is that? Don't you feel disgusted in public?"
"I don't think so. Don't you think he's quite good-looking? So handsome."
"It's because he's so handsome that I feel it's a waste."
The handsome ones will either be handed over to the country or become gay. It is a loss for the majority of women.
"Brother." The girl with a lollipop in her mouth looked at Xie Zhiyi and said in a baby voice: "Is your foot broken?"
Xie Zhiyi suddenly felt his blood boiling and he was a little at a loss.
"Come back." The adult who saw the girl pulled the little girl over and apologized. "I'm sorry, the child is ignorant."
Xie Zhiyi stopped talking just as he was about to speak because he saw the contempt in the woman's eyes.
The apology was not sincere. As ordinary people, they could not stand the fact that an adult should bear the consequences of his behavior.
If it was a mentally retarded person, it would be understandable, but the problem is that he doesn't have any problems at all, it's them who have problems.
Why do you look at him with contempt? Is he that great?
He struggled to get down, but was held down by He Wenxiu. "Ignore them. Just do what you want to do and see what you want to see."
"He Wenxiu." Xie Zhiyi called out, her face flushed, a little shy and a little embarrassed, and she wanted to find a place to hide in embarrassment. "It's not good for us to do this."
"What's wrong with that? Isn't it right for a brother to take care of his mentally retarded brother?"
"You're the one with a brain defect." Xie Zhiyi patted him on the back of the head and said unhappily, "Can you say something nice?"
"Don't pay attention to them. They are just passers-by in your life. Just ignore them if you meet them."
Xu Jing carried him into the mall and dropped him off in the lounge area of a sportswear store. "Time is running out, we still have to go to the amusement park."
Yes, time is tight and there is no need to waste your emotions on passers-by.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Xu Jing asked: "Do you have any sneakers? I want a sports suit. No, I want two."
Even though the distance was short, Xu Jing was sweating all over after carrying someone on his back, and he was eager to change his clothes.
The salesperson led the two to the changing room with a smile. Xie Zhiyi had never experienced this before, and was a little overwhelmed in the haste, like a rag doll being manipulated at will.
Seeing this, Xu Jing showed him his clothes. "Do you have slippers?"
"Yes." The salesperson took out a pair of slippers, and Xu Jing took them and put them on for the customer. "Go and have a look. Are there any clothes you like?"
After changing into slippers, he moved much more freely.
Xie Zhiyi looked around curiously. There were sportswear, shorts, swimming trunks, shoes, everything.
Colors were no longer limited to black and white; there were now vibrant blues, purples, and reds. Even blue came in different shades, from dark blue to light blue, and many other shades he didn't recognize. Colors that once existed only on television and phones, in the virtual world, now appeared before his eyes, visible and tangible. What could he not be satisfied with?
"Do you like it?" Xu Jing watched him pause on the dark blue sports T-shirt and asked the salesperson to take it away. "Go to the fitting room and try it on. Also, change your pants as well."
The salesperson was good at color matching and matched everything for him in no time.
Xie Zhiyi changed her clothes and came out, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze.
"You didn't expect to be able to go from Black Widow to Smurf, did you?"
Things like Black Widow and Smurf, can they talk?
Xie Zhiyi glared at He Wenxiu, who was always unkempt, and put on a light blue sportswear. He looked much more energetic. If he could change his hairstyle, he would instantly become a handsome gym student.
"Why are you fascinated by me?"
Xie Zhiyi immediately averted his gaze and explained stubbornly, "No, I just think this outfit is much better than a beggar's outfit."
"Correction, it's not beggar clothing, it's a Taoist priest."
They're all pretty much the same, all sloppy.
Seeing him turn and leave, Xie Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, and then she caught up with him. "Where are you going?"
At this moment, Xie Zhiyi was like a primary school student who had strayed into an unfamiliar environment. The only person he knew in the entire mall was He Wenxiu. If he left him behind, he really didn't know what to do.
He didn't bring his cell phone with him, and more importantly, he had no money and couldn't go home.
What awaited him on his return was bound to be a storm, a price he couldn't bear. The only person he could hold onto was He Wenxiu, hoping she wouldn't abandon him just because of his bad temper. If that were to happen, it would be terrible.
"Idiot, go pay the bill." Xu Jing rolled his eyes and stopped. "Slow down, I can't run."
"Could you tell me in advance next time? Could you respect me?" Xie Zhiyi was so angry that he wanted to cry again. It was not good for a grown man to always cry and worry about gains and losses, but for some reason, he was just depressed and didn't want to experience the feeling of being abandoned.
"I'm sorry." Xu Jing grabbed his shoulder and their eyes met. "It's my fault for not considering your feelings. If there's anything I did wrong, just tell me and I'll change."
"Don't leave me, I'm scared." Xie Zhiyi grabbed his arm and whispered, "The more people there are, the more scared I am."
"Okay, follow me." He slowed down, hooked his hand, and changed from grabbing to holding.
The warmth passed through his palm and into his heart. Xie Zhiyi felt as if he had taken a tranquilizer and completely calmed down. "Where are we going next?"
“To McDonald’s.”
Isn't McDonald's a Western fast food restaurant? Why go there? Shouldn't we go to an amusement park?
Xu Jing was helpless and pointed at the clock in the mall. "Baby, it's already eight o'clock. The amusement park is closed."
"Oh." Xie Zhiyi sighed, unable to hide his disappointment.
It seems that I still can't fulfill my wish.
"But," he changed the subject and said, "I'll take you to a place later that's no worse than an amusement park."
"Stop keeping me in suspense. Where are you going?"
"Let's buy some ice cream cones first, then go to the Ferris wheel to watch the fireworks."
It was very old-fashioned and had no originality. Xie Zhiyi didn't even bother to complain. He had already seen these things on TV and there was nothing interesting about them.
"That's because you haven't met the right person." Xu Jing touched his head and said with a smile. "It's different when you meet me."
