âI also want to buy a Li Ning sports outfit.â Xiao Su, holding Yang Pingâs hand, nestled close to him.
Yang Ping, indifferent, responded, âIn that case, stay close. Sports outfits should be the right size. Too big and they look ugly, too small and they get in the way of movement.â
Xiao Su leaned closer, snuggling tightly against Yang Ping.
At the Li Ning specialty store, in the ladiesâ section, Xiao Su merely eyed the dazzling array of clothes, not reaching out to select any. âYou pick for me!â she said.
She wanted to see if Yang Ping was bluffing.
The clothes were neatly hung up. Yang Ping asked, âWhich style do you want?â
âYou pick anything!â Xiao Su waited for him to slip up.
Yang Ping just casually glanced around and picked out a jacket and a pair of pants. He didnât even look closely at the clothes, let alone check the size on the labels.
âThis set suits you best, whether weâre talking about style, color, or size.â Yang Ping handed the clothes to Xiao Su.
Xiao Su took them and immediately checked the size inside. Just as she thought, he was guessing. This wasnât her usual size. What a trickster he was.
After seeing through Yang Pingâs trick, Xiao Su laughed and said, âThis isnât the size I usually wear! Mine is smaller than this.â
âTake both this set and the one in the size you think suits you and try them on. Youâll know once you do.â Yang Ping seemed very confident.
What a sly fox, acting so calmly. Xiao Su thought, giggling to herself.
Laughing while picking out clothes, Xiao Su chose another set of the same style but a different size.
Still somewhat skeptical but also curious, she found an open dressing room and brought both sets in to try them on.
Yang Ping sat on the stool to rest as a sales associate tried to make conversation, âSir, your girlfriend is really pretty!â
âHmm.â Yang Ping answered curtly.
âSee, sir, this section houses this monthâs new arrivals. Theyâd look even better on her. For winter sports, she should stock up on more sets.â The sales assistant suggested.
âOkay, sheâll pick them out later.â Yang Ping wasnât talkative and didnât quite like talking to strangers.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Su came out. She returned one set to the sales associate and asked her to bag the other.
âHow did it go?â Yang Ping was confident, but still wanted to know the answer.
âYou were wrong this time, itâs not the right size!â Xiao Su said triumphantly, intentionally trying to knock down his confidence.
Yang Ping shook his head, âImpossible!â
âAre you so sure?â asked Xiao Su.
âIâve never been wrong before!â Yang Ping murmured.
Xiao Su glared at him. Her gaze seemed a bit unusual, with a hint of anger.
Xiao Su didnât say anything else, only coldly admitting, âYou win, this set that you picked truly fits the best.â
Then she turned to the sales assistant and asked, âI buy all my sports outfits here. Why do I need a larger size today?â
She was confident that she had maintained her figure very well, she hadnât gained weight. If she chose to work part-time, she could definitely qualify as a womenâs fitness trainer.
âOh! Iâm sorry. The dimensions of this line are all slightly smaller than usual!â The sales assistant explained.
Xiao Su finally believed him. He could determine her size just by hugging her, it was like the high IQ weirdos on TV. Remembering how he could determine sizes just by hugging, she found it laughably absurd.
On remembering Yang Pingâs words just now, she couldnât help but feel a little jealous.
Fortunately, he was right. Thanks to the systemâs intensive training program, Yang Pingâs observation and thinking ability had significantly improved. Not only could he accurately grasp the 15-degree angle during puncture, but he could also apply this ability in daily life.
After buying the sports outfit, they left the Li Ning Flagship Store. Xiao Su then dragged Yang Ping around for a stroll, without buying anything else. It seemed like women never got tired of shopping.
A few times they passed by high-end womenâs fashion brand stores, but Xiao Su ignored them. Yang Ping tried to pull her in to buy something pricier. She turned her nose up, âThis stuff doesnât look good; it lacks vitality!â
By noon, the two went to a noodle shop for shrimp dumpling soup, then ran to an old-style diner for tri-color ice cream. These were time-honored eateries known for delicious food, a great reputation, and reasonable prices.
âYou must be tired. Letâs take a break and have a cup of coffee.â Xiao Su led Yang Ping.
The two of them found a coffee shop to sit down and rest, had some coffee, and chatted. The sun outside the window was perfect, and the architecture had a lot of character.
Being with Xiao Su was indeed very relaxing and cheerful for Yang Ping. He didnât feel awkward or uneasy, and he didnât have to consciously take care of her feelings or worry about making her angry.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIs that all youâre buying? I came prepared, so you can shop freely!â Yang Ping weighed the bag of clothes in his hand. Everything fit into one bag.
Isnât a womanâs shopping trip supposed to involve many bags, large and small?
âToday, Miss Su is feeling merciful. You can keep your money for now, let it earn some interest.â Xiao Su ripped open a sugar packet and added it to Yang Pingâs coffee.
Yang Ping felt his neck, âIâve stuck my neck out, and youâre not making a move?â
Xiao Su made a chopping motion on Yang Pingâs neck with her delicate hand, âLetâs fatten you up first, then weâll deal with you!â
âNo need to deal with me!â Yang Ping shook his head helplessly.
âYou think Miss Su is too merciful? Fine, next time weâll go to DaTang!â Xiao Su huffed.
DaTang! Thatâs a luxury shopping center in G City. A piece of clothing there easily costs tens of thousands, and a bag can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The Hermes flagship store is located there.
This little girl, she didnât often shop, but when she did, she left no stone unturned.
âNo, Miss Su, take it easy, letâs fatten me up first. I donât think my card can handle a swipe at DaTang.â Yang Ping hurriedly stirred his coffee.
