Chapter 24 Couple Outfits (?) “Excuse me, it seems like you were the first…
"I think it's more likely that it's your own sweat." Jiang Ci saw Yu Xiang finished wiping and wanted to retract his claws, but he quickly grabbed his wrist and stopped him. "I have reason to suspect that you are wrongly accusing me and ruining my clothes."
"That must be your saliva... let go." Yu Xiang tried to pull away, but Jiang Ci deliberately pulled him, so he failed and was forced to stick to Jiang Ci's clothes.
Through the thin cloth, he could even clearly feel the smooth and warm skin underneath.
At this moment, there was another sharp turn. Yu Xiang was dragged by Jiang Ci, leaning towards him uncontrollably, and then pressed on Jiang Ci: "...If you hurt the enemy a thousand times, you will hurt yourself eight hundred times. Look, I will crush you to death with my head down——"
Jiang Ci, who was being pressed down, said calmly, sounding completely unaffected: "The possibility of you crushing me to death with your weight is zero."
Yu Xiang: “…” How could this be?
The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while. Jiang Ci refused to let go, and Yu Xiang couldn't get up. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore: "So what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
"No rush, let's settle the accounts first." Jiang Ci said leisurely.
"What the hell?" Yu Xiang recalled all the ways in which he might have offended Jiang Ci in the past few days, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Jiang Ci had been very well-behaved recently and had not found fault. He had even cooperated with Jiang Ci's after-school tutoring. Lei Wanquan would be relieved if he knew that.
Jiang Ci: "Last time, you were sweating and hugged me for so long, and I didn't make a fuss about it. Now you wipe your hands on my clothes. How do I handle this?"
"When did I hug you..." Yu Xiang retorted subconsciously, but stopped himself in time halfway through.
Yes, I did. A few days ago, when I was running a thousand meters.
So he had to change his words temporarily: "Then let you wipe it back? I'll give you a piece of clothing and you can wipe it however you want, even use it to scrub your body."
"don't want."
"I think I heard something really exciting?" Chen Xiaomei turned around again, only to be startled when she saw the posture of the two people in the back row. "What... are you doing? Yu Xiang, why are you lying on Xiao Ci?"
Jiang Ci calmly explained: "We were chatting."
Chen Xiaomei: "Chatting in this position?"
Jiang Ci: "It helps to promote relationships."
"I see." Chen Xiaomei immediately understood. "Just keep chatting and don't argue."
Her son and Jiang Ci loved to bicker with each other whenever they met, so the fact that he was willing to be so close to them was a historic progress - she thought happily.
"Mom, don't be fooled by him. He forced me--" Yu Xiang stretched out his Erkang hand to Chen Xiaomei with the hand that was not controlled by Jiang Ci.
However, Chen Xiaomei ignored him and continued to say to Luo Fang cheerfully, "Kids nowadays love to fight and quarrel all the time."
"Very good, very energetic." Luo Fang replied with a smile.
"There's no vitality, only resentment." Yu Xiang struggled in vain and began to passively resist. "Jiang Ci, don't your hands feel sore?"
"fine."
"But my neck is sore."
"oh."
"My back still hurts."
"oh."
Yu Xiang couldn't stand it any longer: "You're not allowed to do that! Let go!"
Jiang Ci stretched out a hand towards him.
Yu Xiang: “What?”
Jiang Ci asked back, "Didn't you tell me to wipe it back?"
Yu Xiang glanced at Jiang Ci's fair and beautiful hand: "...You want to wipe it now?"
"Or?" Jiang Ci glanced at him calmly, "Are you ready?"
Yu Xiang took a deep breath: "You wipe it." Your hands are not dirty anyway.
But he didn't realize that it wasn't a question of whether his hands were dirty or not. The problem was that Jiang Ci's hands were particularly itchy when they touched his waist.
But Luo Fang and Chen Xiaomei were right in front of him, and he didn't dare to scream out loud, so he could only hold it in.
"Okay, let's call it a day." Jiang Ci withdrew his hand and also let go of the hand that was holding Yu Xiang.
Yu Xiang, who had regained his freedom, immediately sat up straight and looked at Jiang Ci warily: "You said you can't touch me again."
"Excuse me, it seems like you provoked me first?"
"I——" Yu Xiang was speechless for a moment.
As they were talking, their car had already arrived at their destination.
Luo Fang parked the car in the underground parking lot, and then the four of them entered the mall together.
Both women agreed that Yu Xiang's school uniform must be changed, so they went straight to the clothing area and started picking out clothes frantically with shining eyes.
Although it was originally said that it was bought for Yu Xiang, after choosing for a while, I don’t know why it became bought for both Jiang Ci and Yu Xiang - they are both tall and have long legs and good looks. They are definitely walking clothes racks and look good in anything. Most of the clothes are the same style but different colors.
The salesgirl was also very enthusiastic and kept recommending things to them.
"This outfit will look really cool on you." Chen Xiaomei picked up a set of cool work clothes and gestured to Yu Xiang, "Want to try it on?"
Yu Xiang took it helplessly and went back into the fitting room.
He came out soon, and as soon as he came out, he saw Jiang Ci wearing the same clothes as him, coming out of the room next to him.
As soon as they came out, the three people outside praised them generously.
“It really looks good!”
"So handsome, he could be a promotional model!"
"They look like twins wearing the same clothes. It's obvious they're two brothers who have a very close relationship!"
"Yes, although these two sets are couple's styles, they are suitable for both men and women~"
"Ah, it's a couple's pair?" Chen Xiaomei hesitated when she heard these three words, then leaned over to Luo Fang's ear and whispered, "Isn't that a bad idea?"
"It should be fine. Anyway, the salesperson said there are no separate men's and women's styles, so both can be worn. This set is really nice."
"Why are they so obsessed with making us wear the same thing?" Yu Xiang's attention was all on Jiang Ci, and he didn't listen carefully to the specific content of their praise.
Jiang Ci shook his head: "I don't know."
"Ask them if they like it. If they do, we'll buy these two sets." Luo Fang said as she walked towards them. "What do you think? Do you like this set of clothes?"
Yu Xiang carefully examined the full-length mirror. Both the style and comfort were indeed quite good. Furthermore, he was already trying on clothes until he was almost worn out. He nodded and said, "I think this one is pretty good."
"Where is Xiao Ci?" Luo Fang then looked at Jiang Ci again.
"Me too."
"Okay, check out!" Luo Fang said to the salesgirl cheerfully, "I'll get them new ones later."
"Huh? Change again?" Yu Xiang's eyes went dark, and he almost fainted. "Do you really want to wear the same thing?"
"It's different, the colors are different. You are both tall and handsome, and it will match well when you wear it out. You will definitely get a lot of attention." The shopping guide said to him with a smile.
Yu Xiang nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
After coming out of the clothing store, they began to wander around other areas aimlessly.
Luo Fang and Chen Xiaomei are both young at heart, and they dress up carefully before going out. Jiang Ci and Yu Xiang have also been "transformed" just now, which has made their already high rate of turning heads even higher. This makes the two mothers feel inexplicably proud and in a better mood.
"So boring." Yu Xiang followed them listlessly, already carrying several bags in his hands. From the expression on his face, it was clear that his limited patience was almost exhausted. He looked like a wilted cabbage. "Aren't you done shopping yet?"
"You've only been here for a short time and you're already complaining. Look, Xiao Ci wouldn't be like you." Chen Xiaomie responded with her hands on her hips.
"He just doesn't say it." Yu Xiang sighed, his eyes casually darting around. When he saw some figures, he was startled. His pupils dilated and he reflexively dodged behind Jiang Ci, grabbing his clothes on both sides of his waist with both hands, as if he was using him as a temporary shield.
The latter was confused and stopped, half turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Yu Xiang hid behind him and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "People from our class."
"Who?" Jiang Ci glanced around upon hearing this, and then saw several teenagers not far from them. Zhang Miao was among them, as well as two girls in the class with more cheerful personalities.
The other party had obviously noticed him and seemed to be hesitating whether to come over. However, several others had already made their decision before him. They all walked towards them at once and greeted them.
"Hi! Jiang Ci!"
"Are you out playing too?"
"Wow, you look so handsome today—"
"Is this your classmate?" Luo Fang and Chen Xiaomei turned around and asked them at the same time. However, Chen Xiaomei turned around and saw Yu Xiang sneaking up behind Jiang Ci, looking unwilling to see anyone, with his hand on Jiang Ci's waist. She was immediately furious. "Yu Xiang, what are you doing with your arm around Jiang Ci's waist? Come out."
Yu Xiang stuck his head out in disbelief, as if he had suffered some great injustice, and complained: "I didn't put my arm around his waist—" I was clearly grabbing his clothes!
But when he leaned forward, his eyes met those people in the class: "..."
Those people didn't know whether they were shocked by the name "Xiao Ci", which showed that the relationship between the two families was not simple, or by the "arm around the waist". They all stood there blinking, their brain CPUs almost drying up.
They stared at each other for a while, and finally the girl reacted first and called out "Hello, Auntie" to Luo Fang and Chen Xiaomei.
"Hello, hello." Luo Fang nodded at them in a friendly manner, and then said to Jiang Ci and Yu Xiang, "Would you like to play with your classmates for a while and come back to see us later?"
Yu Xiang's first reaction was to refuse: "No..."
Jiang Ci: "Anything is fine."
The second half of Yu Xiang's sentence got stuck in his throat.
So naturally, they stayed together with several classmates for a while.
"Brother Yu, your clothes..." Zhang Miao's eyes flickered back and forth between Jiang Ci and Yu Xiang, pondering for a long time, "Are you wearing the same clothes?"
"Sanshui, can you use your brain? They're obviously doing this on purpose." One of the girls mocked him half-heartedly, then cast a gossipy look at Jiang Ci and Yu Xiang, "Was that your mother just now? So you're...relatives?"
Lu Ziyang touched his chin and analyzed: "Cousins."
Huang Xingqiang nodded in agreement: "It must be."
Only Zhang Miao firmly denied it: "Impossible! How could I not know they are cousins?!"
"We are good neighbors." Jiang Ci answered their questions calmly.
After hearing this, several people pondered over this sentence again and again, and then turned their backs together in tacit understanding and discussed in a low voice.
"A good neighbor?"
"Then why did they seem to have such a bad relationship in class before?"
"Is there a conflict?"
"The conflict won't last a year, right?"
Yu Xiang: “…” Hey, you guys are plotting in front of us because you’re afraid we won’t know.
"Sanshui." Yu Xiang called Zhang Miao, "Come here."
"Ah? Okay." Zhang Miao turned around immediately and went there happily.
"What are you doing here today?"
"Ah? We were planning to hang out together, and Ning Anyan's birthday is coming up, so we came to pick out a present for her," Zhang Miao explained. Then he remembered something and said, "Brother Yu, I didn't mean to not invite you. You said you couldn't go out, so I didn't ask."
"I don't blame you." Yu Xiang said helplessly, "When is Ning Anyan's birthday?"
"Next week, I think."
"Did she give you a gift before?"
"No. But I see they all sent gifts, so it seems a bit awkward if I don't... By the way, Brother Yu, are you sending one?"
