Chapter 152
Did I choose this name for him?
Ji Wanmei thought to herself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Isn't it because his own name is Lei Tingjun?"
After finishing their meal, Ji Wanmei was about to call the owner to settle the bill when Lei Tingjun stopped her.
He took out some change from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper, then stood up with Ji Wanmei and said, "I'm done eating, let's go."
"Are you going back to Pingdong City tonight?" Ji Wanmei asked him from the doorway.
When Lei Tingjun heard her ask that question, he suddenly looked up at her.
Ji Wanmei paused, realizing that her words might be a bit ambiguous, so she added, "If you're not going back, while I still have time, I'll go buy you some things so you can take them back to Pingdong to eat."
"The pastries at Wuguifang are quite good," she added unnecessarily.
"What time are you going back to school?" Lei Tingjun asked as they walked forward together.
"The school dormitories close at eight o'clock at night." Ji Wanmei had to go back before that.
"Then I'll stay with you until 7:50, and then I'll go back to Pingdong."
Ji Wanmei noticed that Lei Tingjun looked tired, indicating that he hadn't rested well. He had driven for several hours to come here, just to see her, and then had to drive back overnight. How could his body handle that?
She said, "Why don't you rest for the night and leave tomorrow morning? I'll accompany you to find a guesthouse near the school so you can rest for the night before going back."
“I couldn’t sleep when I got to the guesthouse,” Lei Tingjun said.
The thought that she was just a few hundred meters away on a university campus, with so many younger, more outstanding, and better-off guys admiring her, while he lay in a guesthouse outside the university, powerless to do anything about it, was agonizing.
How could he possibly sleep?
Lei Tingjun could only rush back overnight, work overtime, earn more money, and improve himself more quickly, so that he would be strong enough to stand by her side and openly block the gazes of those who admired and coveted her, before he could sleep peacefully.
But Ji Wanmei insisted that he must rest for one night before he was allowed to go back.
Driving at night is dangerous enough, let alone when he was driving while fatigued.
Lei Tingjun naturally couldn't do anything about Ji Wanmei; if she wanted him to stay, he naturally had to stay.
Even though he was suffering in his heart, as long as he wanted, he could be only a few hundred meters away from her, instead of hundreds of kilometers away. This close distance always made Lei Tingjun feel at ease.
At least, she's very, very close to me.
He was so close that with just a little more effort, he could pull her into his arms.
This sweet hope filled Lei Tingjun with motivation, as if he had endless energy.
When Lei Tingjun arrived, he parked his old pickup truck on a road outside the school and did not drive in. Outside vehicles are not allowed to enter the vicinity of the school.
Ji Wanmei then took Lei Tingjun by bus to the nearest city center.
She noticed he was wearing worn-out leather boots, which must have been uncomfortable in the sweltering summer heat, especially since he had to drive every day.
Ji Wanmei wanted to buy him a pair of comfortable and breathable sneakers.
After arriving at the market, Ji Wanmei pulled Lei Tingjun into a men's clothing store, wanting to help him choose two summer outfits that fit.
Lei Tingjun let her do whatever she wanted; if she asked him to try on clothes, he would try them on.
He has a great physique, with broad shoulders and long legs, and is a clothes hanger. He doesn't have an ounce of excess fat on his body; he looks slim when dressed but muscular when undressed.
Ji Wanmei had excellent taste, choosing a dark blue casual T-shirt and a simple shirt for him. Considering that he often drives, she picked out a pair of jeans and a pair of gray sweatpants with double stripes on the side.
Two tops and two pairs of pants can be matched to make two outfits.
Lei Tingjun has a tall and upright figure, and he looks good in anything.
When he wears casual sweatpants, he looks very sporty and sunny, which, combined with his tall stature and tanned skin, makes him look like an athlete.
When he wears a shirt and jeans, he exudes a calm and profound aura, not the kind of bookishness, but an attractive sense of composure and restraint.
Lei Tingjun wore that casual outfit so that it would be easier for him to drive tomorrow.
He felt a little uncomfortable, tugged at the hem of his shirt with both hands, and asked Ji Wanmei uncertainly, "Do I really look good in this?"
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "It looks good. It looks sunny and youthful. It's a different style altogether."
When Lei Tingjun heard her say that she looked younger in that outfit, he smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, if you think it looks good, then it looks good."
Ji Wanmei called over a shop assistant to pay the bill.
But Lei Tingjun stopped him again, saying, "You can choose for me, I'll buy it myself."
Ji Wanmei looked up at him: "You're starting a business now, which is exactly the time when you need money. Two sets of clothes won't cost much, I'll buy them for you."
Ji Wanmei's shop earned several thousand yuan, but her father didn't take a single penny; he gave it all to her.
It's September now, and by the 7th, the store will have another month's worth of revenue.
But Lei Tingjun insisted: "Even if it's buying clothes, I should be the one buying them for you, not the other way around."
Lei Tingjun took out his wallet, paid without giving him a chance to refuse, and then walked out of the store with the bag.
Then Ji Wanmei went to help him choose shoes, picking out a pair of black Warrior mesh sneakers, which are more breathable for summer wear and less likely to get dirty while driving.
However, Lei Jun prefers to wear leather boots, probably because he thinks they are sturdy and durable. When walking on the construction site, he may step on broken glass or nails, and the soles of his boots are not easily punctured.
