Lai Meiqi replied, "Like what?"
"Bending over again is like that meme of someone struggling through the storms of life."
"You know, it really does look a bit like it." Lai Meiqi covered her mouth and chuckled.
Luo Shimiao put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's go, let's help him bargain."
Five or six minutes later, Yao Bin came out of the store dragging a 28-inch navy blue suitcase.
After buying clothes and shoes for the children, they went to a clothing store for the elderly.
Seeing the clothes with various patterns, Luo Shimiao said, "If my third brother were here, his eyes would light up and he would buy, buy, buy."
The proprietress, a woman around 45 years old, greeted them warmly as they entered, saying, "Welcome, please feel free to look around."
"Wow! I've seen you in TV shows." Her eyes lit up when she saw Yao Bin, and she walked up to him with her phone: "Can I take a picture with you?"
"Of course." He put his suitcase aside, smiled, and looked at the camera.
After taking a photo together, he asked, "Big sister, you still like watching idol dramas? My mom is about your age, but she doesn't like watching the dramas I act in. She prefers dramas like 'Country Love'."
Which show are you watching?
The proprietress opened the player and showed it to him: "This is it, 'The Secret of Love.' I've been enjoying dramas about older women and younger men lately, and the male lead you played is so handsome."
"It made my eldest sister's long-dormant heart pound."
Yao Bin froze when he heard the title of the drama, and when he saw the male lead, he felt like a thousand alpacas were flying overhead.
"Hehehe." He laughed awkwardly.
Luo Shimiao and Lai Meiqi noticed his reaction and came over to look.
The proprietress said, "Look, isn't he even more handsome in person? But..." She frowned and glanced at Yao Bin, "You haven't had plastic surgery, have you? Your face shape in person seems a little different from the one on TV."
Good heavens, these are clearly two different people, how did she know they were the same person?
"Sister, you should go to the hospital to get your eyes checked."
This is absolutely outrageous! It's utterly absurd!
Yao Bin shook his head and denied it: "I haven't had any plastic surgery, it's my natural skin."
Luo Shimiao touched her neck and said cautiously, "Big sister, didn't you...never suspect that they weren't the same person?"
"Not the same person?" She paused the video, held the phone next to Yao Bin's face for a close comparison, and after a moment said, "It really isn't the same person. Sorry, I have a bit of face blindness."
"It's alright, it's alright."
After the little misunderstanding passed, everyone started picking out clothes for Xiaojun's grandmother.
Luo Shimiao looked around but couldn't find the little cutie. She turned to the composed and handsome man and asked, "Where's Luo Luo?"
Gu Nian tilted her chin slightly towards the fitting room.
What was she doing in the fitting room?
As soon as she finished speaking, the fitting room door was pushed open, and Luo Luo walked out wearing a pair of black high heels, the heels dragging on the ground with an unpleasant scraping sound.
Her small feet were encased in oversized shoes, with a large gap at the back, as she dragged her shoes toward Luo Shimiao.
"..."
Luo Luo raised her face, her smile bright: "Auntie, I want to buy shoes."
"You're still young, you can wear them when you're older." Luo Shimiao picked her up and handed her to Gu Nian, put the high heels back, and took out her shoes.
"You want to wear high heels before you can even walk properly? Aren't you afraid of falling?" He grabbed her feet and put the shoes on her feet.
Lai Meiqi handed the clothes she had chosen to the shop owner and turned around to say, "That's how kids are. My mom said that when I was little, I often secretly wore her high heels."
Gu Nian looked at Luo Shimiao, his eyes like deep pools: "Miaomiao, you must have worn a lot of these when you were little, right?"
"No, no, no." Luo Shimiao held up a finger and shook it from side to side, raising her eyebrows slightly: "You guessed wrong."
"Oh?" the man said flippantly. "That's not like you."
“When I was little, I liked sparkly things. When she wasn’t home, I would sneak into her walk-in closet and take off all the beads and diamonds from her high heels.”
"I still have it." She smiled mischievously. "I could sell it for a lot of money."
"You," Gu Nian said with a smile.
“Buzzing…”
Luo Shimiao took out her vibrating phone, saw the caller ID, and almost dropped it.
"who?"
"My mom!"
Luo Luo swiped her little finger across the screen and said sweetly, "Grandma, I miss you."
Luo Shimiao turned on speakerphone, and a gentle female voice slowly came through: "Little liar, you missed me so much that you left your grandma to go play with your aunt?"
"Mom, are you really that bored?" She looked at the camera and continued, "You keep an eye on me every day, I don't even dare to say anything bad about you anymore."
“I’m looking after my granddaughter, who’s looking after you?”
"Why did you call me? Do you need my daughter's help?"
Ye Shujun: "I saw an outfit that would suit your grandfather very well, the beige floral one. Ah Nian, could you help your aunt try it on?"
Luo Shimiao looked at him with schadenfreude.
"Okay." Gu Nian agreed without hesitation, his expression unchanged.
The proprietress looked at the tall man and said, "You're too tall; I'm afraid we don't have your size."
Ye Shujun's gentle voice came through the phone: "My dad wears an XL size, I'd like to see how it looks on him."
“We have XL sizes. I thought your father was the same height as this handsome guy.” After saying that, the proprietress took down an XXXL dress and handed it to Gu Nian: “You have broad shoulders, go in and try it on first. If it doesn’t fit, I’ll get you a size up.”
"Okay." Gu Nian took the clothes and walked into the fitting room.
The group stood not far from the fitting room, their eyes all fixed on the door.
The sound of clothes being undressed could be heard coming from inside.
Live broadcast room
[Miao's mother's voice is so gentle; you can tell she's a kind and virtuous woman just by listening to it. I feel like I know what she looks like.]
[Just look at Sister Miao and Third Brother, she must be a beauty.]
[Is Miaomiao a hater of Luo's mother? She portrays Luo's mother as a fierce shrew.]
A few minutes later, Gu Nian appeared before everyone wearing a beige fleece-lined Zhongshan suit.
The smooth fabric was embroidered with intricate patterns, and a small section of fair skin was exposed on the calves and arms. Paired with the man's aloof expression, it had a strangely comical quality.
The people outside the door were trying to suppress their laughter, their lips twitching slightly.
Gu Nian walked in front of the camera and showed off her clothes from every angle, looking a little awkward: "Aunt Ye, is this okay?"
Luo Shimiao's phone, held in his palm, was still on a call.
"It looks great." Ye Shujun's tone was slightly amused. "Miaomiao, buy it for Mom."
"Okay." Luo Shimiao hung up the phone and looked the man up and down: "Boss lady, do you have a pajama version of this?"
The proprietress: "No."
"What a pity." She patted the man's chest and said, "If the color were a bit more yellow, and the sleeves were a bit bigger, it would look like the Emperor's pajamas."
Gu Nian revealed a smile that was hard to decipher.
