It was 9:45 p.m.
At this time, many shops were gradually closing.
All Ji Xiaoli could see was darkness.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed into her sight. A men's suit store had only half - closed its door!
"Hello! I'd like to buy some clothes!"
Ji Xiaoli rushed into the store and gasped to the salesgirl.
The salesgirl, who was about to close the store, rolled her eyes upon hearing this. "Sorry, miss. We're already closed."
"Don't be like this! I just want to buy one piece of clothing. It'll be very quick! Only ten minutes at most, okay?"
This suit store looked very high - end. Buying a set should be enough to meet the order amount, right?
But the salesgirl looked at Ji Xiaoli's shabby appearance with disdain.
Ten minutes? She probably couldn't afford it even given ten hours!
Don't waste her time to get off work, okay?
Just as she was about to open her red lips to refuse, her eyes widened into an "O" shape when she saw the person behind Ji Xiaoli!
It was actually the young master!
The salesgirl gasped. She folded her hands and placed them neatly on her lower abdomen. Just as she was about to perform a greeting, she found that the young master didn't even look at her.
"Xiaoli, what do you want to buy?"
Zheng Nanfeng's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze. He tilted his head and asked Ji Xiaoli tenderly, "A suit? To give to Uncle Ji?"
Ji Xiaoli rolled her eyes impatiently. "For my boyfriend!"
Zheng Nanfeng's handsome face immediately froze. He stared at Ji Xiaoli, who was picking out suits, almost in a daze.
It was over...
She actually had a boyfriend!
She didn't even wait for him!
Zheng Nanfeng suddenly felt so chest - tight that he urgently needed a ventilator to save his life.
"This one! And this one. Wrap them up!"
Ji Xiaoli quickly picked up two suits and handed them to the salesgirl.
The countdown in her mind was still ticking.
[The player has two hours and five minutes left!]
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Oh, okay. What size do you need?"
At this moment, who cared about the size?
Moreover, she had never bought men's clothing before!
Ji Xiaoli gritted her teeth in anxiety. She raised her hand and pointed at Zheng Nanfeng. "Get them in his size!"
"Ah?"
Zheng Nanfeng felt even more dazed.
Ji Xiaoli stamped her foot impatiently. "Hurry up!"
"Oh, okay!"
Zheng Nanfeng quickly walked towards the salesgirl. After giving her a few instructions, the salesgirl immediately went to get a suit and took it to the cashier.
Beep. Beep.
[The player has one hour and fifty - eight minutes left!]
Beep—
Payment successful!
Ji Xiaoli looked at the payment page on her phone and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Fireworks exploded in her mind.
[Congratulations, player! You have spent 16,000 this week and earned 160 good - luck points!]
[Reminder to the player that your total good - luck points are now 216. Keep it up!]
Ji Xiaoli let out a long breath.
Finally, she had completed the task.
But the good - luck points wouldn't be cleared every week? She wondered what would happen if they accumulated to a certain amount...
"Um, Xiaoli, what are you going to do with these two suits?"
And they were in his size...
Zheng Nanfeng was like an innocent high - school student. His heart was pounding so hard that it seemed to jump out of his chest, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
God, please let it be what he thought it was!
"Oh, this..."
Ji Xiaoli came back to her senses and glanced at the suits casually.
She bought these suits simply because this was the only luxury store still open nearby. But...
She didn't have any close male friends to give them to. Was she really going to give them to her father, who she had never even met and was currently digging for oil?
—Impossible!
Ji Xiaoli looked up at Zheng Nanfeng. Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Are you... sick?"
"Ah? No, no!"
"Then why... is your face so red?"
"Is... it?" Zheng Nanfeng quickly touched his face.
Damn it! It wasn't just red. It was freaking hot!
"Maybe... it's because it's hot. It's too stuffy in here!"
"Okay." Ji Xiaoli nodded. She stuffed the packaged suit into Zheng Nanfeng's hands. "Here, it's for you!"
For... him?!
Zheng Nanfeng's face wasn't just red at this moment. It was like it was on fire!
She actually gave this suit to him?
But what did she say before buying it? — She said it was for her boyfriend!
So... was he her boyfriend?
Damn...
His fiancée was so enthusiastic...
But he liked it!
The salesgirl beside them felt increasingly uneasy when she saw the young master's smile.
To be honest, with his looks, the young master was like a sunny and handsome young man. When he smiled and showed his big white teeth, he could easily set hearts on fire. If he were in the entertainment industry, he would surely be a popular star and debut in the C - position!
But now he looked...
Stupid?
That smile was so much like...
The village idiot at the village entrance...
The salesgirl was startled by her own thought. She shrank her neck and quickly said to her colleague beside her, "Do you think the young master is... in love?"
"I don't think so," the colleague whispered. "Didn't the young master say he wouldn't fall in love for ages? He's been waiting whole - heartedly for the girl he was engaged to as a child."
"Come on! You don't understand. How many men are really loyal? The young master has waited for so long. If that girl can't be found, are we going to let the young master be a bachelor for the rest of his life?"
"You're right! I think the girl just now is also very good - looking. She and the young master are a perfect match..."
At this time, Ji Xiaoli, who they thought was a perfect match for Zheng Nanfeng, had already rushed back to her dormitory.
She had almost failed to complete the task today. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
"Phew!"
Ji Xiaoli lay on the bed and let out a long breath. But in her mind, she couldn't help but think of Zheng Nanfeng's appearance.
Wei Yanlan said that when she was a child, she used to run after Zheng Nanfeng...
Brother Nanfeng...
Some dusty memories were quietly unsealed at this moment. She seemed to be back in that summer again.
The cicadas were singing continuously, and the sun was lazy and long.
Zheng Nanfeng was running through the alley in his flip - flops.
And she was wearing a flowery dress and gasping for breath as she followed behind. "Brother Nanfeng, wait for me!"
"Come on! I'll take you to eat bozai gao!"
"No! I want to eat candied haws!"
"Okay, I'll buy them all for you!"
...
Why bozai gao and candied haws?
Because at that time, both the Ji family and the Zheng family were just ordinary entrepreneurs.
They had enough to eat and wear, but they weren't extremely wealthy. But life was still good like this.
It was just a pity that later...
Ji Xiaoli smiled faintly and covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.
"Xiaoli, Xiaoli! Get up quickly!"
The next morning, Ji Xiaoli had no classes. She was still sleeping groggily when she was shaken awake by Tao Tao.
"Let me tell you. A super - handsome guy has transferred to our department. He's so handsome—ah, how can I describe it to you? When he smiles, you feel like the whole world lights up!"
Tao Tao said intoxicatedly.
Ji Xiaoli rolled her eyes. "Is he a light bulb?"
"Don't you dare say that about him!"
Tao Tao, who was a sucker for good looks, slapped Ji Xiaoli on the arm. Then she put on a big smile. "Hey, Xiaoli, let's go and take a look together. Come on, it'll be a feast for the eyes!"
"No!"
Ji Xiaoli pulled the quilt over her head. "I want to sleep."
"Come on! I'm telling you it'll be worth it! That handsome guy not only looks good, but his name is also very nice."
"Nanfeng, Zheng Nanfeng. Wow! So gentle!"
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli suddenly pulled down the quilt. Her eyes widened in shock.
"Zheng Nanfeng?!"
