Buling flashed a bright smile: "Sister Sun, I'm here!"
So, Ling Wei watched helplessly as the person who had just been impatient with her completely changed their attitude.
"Little Bu's here? What would you like to buy?" Sister Sun asked with a very warm smile.
Ling Wei turned her head following Sister Sun's gaze, and her smiling face immediately darkened.
Pretending not to notice Ling Wei's change in expression, Bu Ling stood in front of the counter: "Sister Sun, didn't we hear that the department store got a new batch of fabrics? So I came with my colleagues to take a look!"
Sister Sun laughed and said, "Then you're too late! All the good fabrics were snapped up this morning!"
"Ah~" Bling said pitifully.
Sister Sun changed the subject: "However, I've saved some for you."
Buling immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Sister Sun, have some candy!" She stuffed two candies into Sister Sun's hand.
Sister Sun put away the candy, bent down and took out a roll of army green fabric from under the counter: "Look! Isn't it rare?"
Wu Yuanyuan and the others stared wide-eyed at the military green fabric. Goodness, military green is even rarer than bright red.
Of course, Buling knew: "Oh, it's military green! Thank you so much, Sister Sun. When you come to the state-run restaurant another day, we...we'll...treat you to a meal!" With outsiders present, Buling changed her approach.
Sister Sun smiled warmly: "Oh, Xiao Bu, why are you being so polite with me?"
Buling waved her hands repeatedly: "How could that be? You're my own sister. I wouldn't be polite to anyone else but you. It's just that I, as the younger sister, want to get closer to my older sister."
Sister Sun was so pleased with her that she handed the fabric to Bu Ling, saying, "There's not much fabric, little Bu, you can share it with your colleagues."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Sun!" Bu Ling quickly took the fabric.
She and Wu Yuanyuan spread out the fabric and measured it; it was about five feet long. She then looked at the other three and said, "How about this, you each take one and a half feet, and I'll keep the rest?"
Everyone knew that Buling's brother was in the army, so they didn't refuse her offer. The four of them divided the fabric on the spot, and then asked Sister Sun to help cut it up. They each paid their share of the money.
During this time, Ling Wei watched from the side.
Bu Ling pretended not to see her. After the fabric was divided, the four of them said goodbye to Sister Sun, and Ling Wei did not say a word.
The group moved toward the clothing counter, and Wu Yuanyuan leaned closer to Bu Ling: "Isn't this the woman who picked a fight with you last time?"
“Yeah, what bad luck to run into her!” Bling said.
Little did she know, Ling Wei also felt unlucky.
But over the past year, countless facts have taught her a lesson. For example, the incident with the fabric just now—if she had just transmigrated, she would definitely have demanded justice from the salesperson.
She finally had a chance to catch her breath today and didn't want to ruin her mood.
Although my mood was ruined the moment I saw Bling.
Watching the four figures walk away, Ling Wei said to Sister Sun, "Excuse me, could you please get me that piece of gray fabric?"
Sister Sun glanced at the two of them and asked crisply, "How many feet do you want?"
Ling Wei thought of the money in her pocket and Han Weiguo's instructions before she left: "Two feet will do."
Ling Wei suppressed the bitterness in her heart, paid the money, took the fabric handed over by Sister Sun, turned around and left the counter. As she was about to go downstairs, she couldn't help but glance in the direction of Bu Ling and the other three. The envy and jealousy in her eyes were impossible to hide.
Bu Ling was unaware of the female lead's thoughts; she was currently trying to persuade Zhu Zhizhi to buy clothes with Wu Yuanyuan and the others.
"Sister Zhizhi, really, this dress suits you perfectly!" Buling held up a black dress with white lace trim and held it up against Zhu Zhizhi.
Zhu Zhizhi looked embarrassed: "Xiao Bu, I... I guess I won't~" She had never worn a skirt before.
Buling said with certainty, "Sister Zhizhi, why don't you give it a try?"
Zhu Zhizhi is actually not bad-looking. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is the kind of appearance that people like the most nowadays. However, she has a square face, which makes her look a bit dull. In addition, she has broad shoulders and wide hips, which makes her look a bit burly. As a result, she has been regarded as a man since she was a child.
Sister Ma and Wu Yuanyuan both nodded in agreement. It has to be said that Bu Ling has a good eye. The off-the-shoulder dress perfectly conceals Zhu Zhizhi's broad shoulders, and the waist-cinching design further hides her wide hips. This dress is really suitable for Zhu Zhizhi.
Encouraged by the three, Zhu Zhizhi bit her lip and agreed. She took the dress, went to the cubicle to change, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.
When Bu Ling saw her come out, she gave her a thumbs up: "Sister Zhizhi, you're very pretty!"
"Yes, Xiao Zhu, this dress suits you very well!" Aunt Ma also complimented.
Wu Yuanyuan also said, "Bu Ling has a really good eye!"
Zhu Zhizhi stood there, stunned, amidst the three people's praise.
Seeing her like this, Bu Ling took two steps forward and pulled her in front of the mirror: "Sister Zhizhi, look for yourself!"
Zhu Zhizhi obediently looked up at the mirror.
The person in the mirror was tall and slender, wearing a long black dress, with two braids hanging smoothly in front of her chest. She stared wide-eyed at Zhu Zhizhi outside the mirror, seemingly wondering if she could be so beautiful.
"So, Sister Zhizhi, do you believe me now?" Buling asked with a smile.
Zhu Zhizhi nodded quickly. She really had never imagined that she would one day wear a dress: "Buling, thank you!"
Bu Ling waved his hand: "Hey, it's nothing!"
Finally, Zhu Zhizhi bought the dress almost with a grateful heart, carefully putting it in her bag as if she had received a precious treasure.
After browsing around and buying everything they needed, the four of them went downstairs. At the pastry counter on the first floor, Sister Ma thought of her children at home, gritted her teeth, and bought a pound of peach shortbread.
Zhu Zhizhi and Wu Yuanyuan each bought a pound, but Bu Ling didn't buy any. She still had some at home, given to her by her brother and mulberries. There were still quite a few left.
