On his way home, Zhong Yuan was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
Dafu complained, "Look at how smug he is!"
Zhong Yuan walked backwards and said to them, "Hey, buddy, I'm got a girlfriend now!"
Jiang Xiaoli shook Zong Jiayu's hand, "Comrade Zong, make sure to close the doors and windows when you go to sleep tonight. I'm really worried that Brother Yuan will be so excited that he won't be able to sleep and will want to chat with you guys all night."
Zong Jiayu chuckled and nodded. "Received."
Zhong Yuan was in a good mood today and ignored their back-and-forth. He held his guitar to his chest and started playing the same song he had sung when he confessed his feelings.
Jiang Xiaoli asked curiously, "Brother Yuan, when did you learn to play the guitar?"
Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow smugly. "You didn't know, did you? Our 'Yu Jia Technology' is full of talented people. A young man in logistics taught me!"
She covered her mouth and laughed, "Is this the only song you can play?"
Zhong Yuan's eyes widened. "This song is really difficult! I've been learning it for days!"
In that tense moment, he only played a few wrong notes and sang a tiny bit off-key, which is really amazing!
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at Zong Jiayu, "Look at him!"
Dafu couldn't help but tease, "Brother Zong, you've got those moments where people tell you to look at other people's kids too!"
Zong Jia rubbed his nose. "What songs does Little Pear like?"
She deliberately made things difficult, saying, "I like songs that belong only to me."
Sure enough, Zong Jiayu's brows furrowed into a knot. "I...I'll try my best..."
...
Time quickly came to the day when "Five," a women's clothing brand under the 307 Clothing Company, opened for business.
Early in the morning, Zhong Yuan was busy in the house, changing clothes every now and then.
Dafu was dazzled by what he saw. "I said, it's a women's clothing store opening, not a men's clothing store. What are you doing here?"
Zhong Yuan rolled her eyes at him. "To be honest, you really don't understand anything. Today is the first time I've accompanied Xin Xin to such an important event. It's so memorable! I have to dress myself up nicely, right?"
Dafu felt that he had been persuaded by him. This seemed to be the first time he had accompanied Changyue to such an event. Thinking of this, he went back to his room to change his clothes and get ready.
When Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jiayu returned from their run, they found their home looking like a fashion show, and they criticized each other's clothes.
Upon seeing them return, Zhong Yuan hurriedly pulled Jiang Xiaoli to his room. "Xiaoli, you're finally back! Please give me some advice: should I dress more formally or more casually today?"
Jiang Xiaoli looked at his clothes scattered all over the bed. "Brother Yuan, I didn't expect you to have so many clothes!"
She picked out a few outfits and put them together. "I think this outfit is fine. We're opening a new store, not holding a press conference, so we don't need to be so formal. Besides, you're dressed so formally standing next to Xin Xin, it doesn't look good, right?"
Hu Jingxin's usual style of dressing is sweet and cute.
Zhong Yuan thought for a moment, then gave her a thumbs up, "Little Pear, you're so thoughtful!"
He was already four or five years older than Hu Jingxin. If he dressed too maturely and was mistaken for her older brother or even her uncle, he would feel like dying!
After finishing her work with him, Jiang Xiaoli was pulled to his room by Dafu.
This time, without him even having to say a word, Jiang Xiaoli immediately picked out an outfit for him. "Brother Dafu, you and Xiaoyue look absolutely perfect together in this!"
Dafu grinned so hard his eyes disappeared. "Really? Then I'll try it on!"
After resolving their clothing issue, Jiang Xiaoli went to the restaurant for breakfast.
She glanced at Zong Jiayu, who was dressed in sportswear, and asked, "Comrade Zong, what are you planning to wear today?"
Zong Jia took a sip of soy milk and said, "We have to listen to Xiao Li. We can't just pair them up and then ignore me, can we?"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, almost choking on her soy milk. "Why are you jealous of everyone?"
Zong Jiayu hummed in agreement, "Anyway, I don't care, you take responsibility!"
After dinner, Jiang Xiaoli smiled and went to Zong Jiayu's bedroom. She rarely saw Zong Jiayu buy clothes, but his clothes were all very nice, and there were many styles that could not be bought in China at the moment.
Jiang Xiaoli asked curiously, "Does your mother still buy you clothes?"
He nodded. "I told her I didn't want to, but she wouldn't listen, so I gave up."
Jiang Xiaoli leaned against the wardrobe and looked at him. "Does she know you're dating someone?"
Zong Jiayu patted her hair. "Neither my dad nor my mom can make decisions about me. You know my relationship with them. If you care, I'll talk to them."
She turned around and continued rummaging through the clothes in the closet. "I was just asking casually. You can answer if you want, or you don't have to if you don't think it's necessary."
Zong Jiayu held her shoulders and turned her around to face him.
He explained, "I really didn't think that much about it, Little Pear. If you care, I'll give them a proper introduction of you."
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly recalled her less-than-pleasant meeting with Zong Ze last time.
She shook her head. "Let's forget about it. I don't know about your mother, but your father definitely doesn't like me."
Zong Jiayu hugged her tightly, saying, "Little Pear, other people's opinions don't matter. What matters is that I only want you."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "I know."
After they finished talking, they didn't continue the discussion. Jiang Xiaoli picked out an outfit for him, and when they got home, she wore an outfit in the same color scheme as his clothes.
The "Five" women's clothing flagship store is located on Wangfujing Street.
At 9 a.m., a lot of people gathered outside the store, pointing and discussing.
"Look, this store seems to have opened today."
"Look at the clothes in his shop window, they're so beautiful!"
"Yes! Yes! I really want to try on that white wool coat!"
"I love that light green sweater; it looks so warm and cozy."
"I just don't know if the clothes in this store are expensive."
Amidst the discussions of the onlookers, Jiang Xiaoli and her four friends pulled down the cover from the shop sign.
Jiang Xiaoli walked to the store entrance and said to the crowd, "Ladies, our 'Five' women's clothing is a fashion brand that mainly sells clothing and accessories for young women. All the clothes and accessories in the store are exclusively designed."
Today, we are opening three stores simultaneously in Kyoto. For the first three days, all clothing items are 20% off, and there are also various lucky draws with amazing prizes waiting for you. Welcome to visit our stores and shop!
After saying that, she moved aside at the store entrance and gestured for customers to come in and shop.
The girls who had been watching from the doorway entered the store and exclaimed in amazement, "Wow! This dress is even prettier than it looked outside! It feels so comfortable! I want to try it on!"
