Chapter 77 Ambiguity
Cen Nian didn't dare to look at him. Her eyes fell on Jin Siyang's collarbone. The warmth in his hand reminded her that their relationship seemed a little different.
After pondering for a few seconds, she slowly spoke, her voice a little sticky: "Actually, I have a question."
"Tell me."
"Jin Siyang, you just said that we are in a relationship where we can hold hands. Such a relationship includes family, friends, or boyfriend and girlfriend."
Jin Siyang didn't know how much effort Cen Nian put into saying these words.
Sometimes she feels like dough, and she will become whatever others knead her into. Occasionally she will feel dissatisfied or angry, but it seems no different.
Cen Nian asked again: "Can I ask what level of relationship we are in?"
Jin Siyang suddenly let go of his hand. Cen Nian caught a glimpse of him struggling and her heart slowly sank. The next second, the hand was placed on her head, and Jin Siyang swayed slowly from left to right.
Cen Nian was puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Jin Siyang said indifferently: "Look at what your girlfriend's brain is made of."
"Hmm?" Cen Nian opened his eyes wide, and his falling heart climbed back to the clouds.
"Cen Nian, you're such an idiot." Jin Siyang raised his eyebrows, "Putting aside our romantic relationship, can other boys hold your hand like this?"
He took Cen Nian's hand again, and as if demonstrating to her, he carefully stroked Cen Nian's soft knuckles.
Cen Nian quickly shook his head: "Of course not!"
"Now you know?"
"Yeah." Cen Nian nodded.
Jin Siyang asked back: "Then what do you think my identity is?"
Cen Nian uttered a short "ah" and mumbled shyly, "Boyfriend."
"Yeah." Jin Siyang responded.
There are a constant stream of people coming and going in the mall. A pair of beautiful young lovers walking hand in hand are the focus wherever they go, especially since the boy looks cold and the girl is sweet and lovely. They seem to be a completely different and incompatible pair, but they look so compatible when walking together.
The boy is indifferent to everything except when girls are talking, he will lean over slightly and listen attentively.
As they walked, they somehow reached the top floor, where the food was gathered, and Cen Nian could hardly walk.
Jin Siyang looked straight ahead and said lazily, "Would you like some ice cream?"
"eat!"
"Where's the soufflé?"
Cen Nian's eyes sparkled: "Eat!"
"cake?"
"eat!"
Jin Siyang smiled faintly: "What a pity, you can't eat these."
"..." Cen Nian was speechless. Ever since she came back from Ningcheng, and with the changing weather, her stomach had been feeling uncomfortable. Aunt Liu controlled Cen Nian's diet at home every day, and she hadn't had any snacks for a long time.
Jin Siyang had just teased her on purpose, and seeing her angry and helpless look, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You're still laughing!" Cen Nian grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why are you asking if you won't let me eat? Why did you bring me here?"
Jin Siyang raised his eyebrows: "Cen Nian, who pressed the top floor button when we got into the elevator just now?"
"..."Okay, it was her. She had a glimmer of hope, but she didn't expect Jin Siyang to be so heartless and not let her eat anything!
At the top floor at the same time.
Qin Zhouyan broke free from the crowded shop, holding two cups of lemon tea in his hands: "Zhu Zhiyao, this is for you."
"Oh my god, there are so many people in this store, I'm almost squeezed to death." He took a big sip of lemon tea and finally felt relieved.
Zhu Zhiyao unwrapped the straw and took a sip: "How are we going to find them?"
Qin Zhouyan sighed: "Forget it, if someone like Jin Siyang wants to hide, we won't be able to find him."
"How could he just take Nian Nian away!" Zhu Zhiyao muttered, "He won't bully Nian Nian, will he?"
"Don't worry, I guarantee you he still has some humanity, though not as much as me."
Zhu Zhiyao was amused by him.
"You're finally smiling? You were frowning just now." He tilted his head to look at her smiling face.
Zhu Zhiyao touched her face in surprise: "Really?"
"Yeah, just smile. My dad said that if you go out with a girl, you have to make her happy, otherwise you're not a real man."
Qin Zhouyan took two more sips and said, "Let's go play now that we're here."
Zhu Zhiyao hesitated for a second and finally nodded.
The two of them somehow ended up at a high-end custom-made suit shop. The receptionist greeted them warmly, and Qin Zhouyan felt embarrassed to just leave, so he actually went in to try it on.
He wore a dark blue suit and stood in front of Zhu Zhiyao with his head held high and his chest puffed out. "How about it, handsome?"
Zhu Zhiyao observed carefully and shook her head: "Looks like an insurance salesperson."
"Change into another set!"
He changed into a finely tailored black suit. Qin Zhouyan looked like a sunny boy, with fair skin and handsome features, which looked even more so when he smiled. He put on the suit, brushed his bangs, stood in front of Zhu Zhiyao, and asked with a smile, "How about this suit?"
Zhu Zhiyao's eyes flickered, and her memory seemed to have gone back many years, overlapping with the silhouette of a sunny boy.
"Zhu Zhiyao?" Qin Zhouyan took a few steps forward and swung in front of her. "Isn't his handsomeness making you stupid?"
Zhu Zhiyao came back to her senses and nodded with a smile: "This set looks good!"
"OK, this is it, help me wrap it up."
Zhu Zhiyao asked: "Do you want to buy it?"
"Yeah, you're so handsome, and you picked it out. I trust your taste. You can wear it at your senior year coming-of-age ceremony."
As Qin Zhouyan was talking, the two of them walked to the cashier. The cashier smiled and said, "Hello, the total is 37,800. How do I pay?"
Qin Zhouyan said casually: "Just sweep it."
After buying the suits, they went shopping again. In the end, after two hours, they gained a lot.
*
Jin Siyang and Cen Nian took the elevator to the first floor, where there were many famous brand clothing and shoes. Jin Siyang held Cen Nian's hand and stopped suddenly when they passed by a shoe brand.
Cen Nian asked doubtfully, "Do you want to buy shoes?"
"have a look."
"oh."
Jin Siyang was very quick in picking out shoes, and Cen Nian admired him a little. He could always accurately pick out the best-looking and most suitable pair for him from a pile of items.
He took a quick look and asked the waiter next to him, "Do you have any women's clothing?"
"Yes, this style is available for both men and women, and it's a new style we just launched."
He reported two sizes and the waiter brought the shoes quickly. Jin Siyang didn't try them on, but just took the women's shoes and suddenly squatted in front of Cen Nian, which scared her.
Cen Nian leaned to the side: "What are you doing?"
Jin Siyang held her ankle with one hand and said, "Try it?"
"I...I can do it myself." She withdrew her foot shyly.
Jin Siyang didn't give her the chance and chuckled, "Why are you shy?"
"you..."
He gently took off Cen Nian's shoes, revealing white socks with a pink pig pattern on the toes.
Cen Nian blushed deeply. He didn't say anything, but just put her shoes on and tied the laces: "Take a look, do you like it?"
The white sneakers have an unclear brand logo and some simple line designs, which make the feet look smaller and more delicate.
Cen Nian didn't answer, but just threw the question to him: "Does it look good?"
"Yeah, not bad."
There are some differences between the men's and women's styles, but not much. From that day on, Jin Siyang and Cen Nian would occasionally wear the same shoes to school.
A certain relationship and ambiguity was vaguely revealed in the class.
