Chapter 48: I Really Like It
Upon hearing Qiao Jiusheng’s question, Qi Bufan asked, “Expensive or middle-cla.s.s?”
Qiao Jiusheng thought about it and answered, “Something more expensive.” Wei Shuyi had taken her in for two months, so it was only right to buy more expensive clothes for him in return.
Qi Bufan told her the brand name, and Qiao Jiusheng recalled that there was a shop in this mall that had this brand. The three of them arrived at the men’s clothing shop together. When the employees in the shop saw Fang Yusheng’s heaven-defying outfit, they hesitated for a moment. However, in the end, they shyly smiled and greeted the group. “Welcome. Do you want to buy men’s clothes?”
“Yeah,” Fang Yusheng replied.
“What type of clothes do you want to buy?”
Fang Yusheng heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “I’ll take a look myself.”
Fang Yusheng smiled even more brightly.
Qiao Jiusheng brought Fang Yusheng to a single leather chair and sat him down. She then said to him, “Just sit and wait for me.”
She’s even worried that I’m tired. Ah Sheng is really considerate.
Fang Yusheng could not control the smile on his face. He nodded. However, as if he felt that it was not enough, he said, “I’ll wait for you.”
“Okay.” Qiao Jiusheng turned around to look at her clothes.
Fang Yusheng p.r.i.c.ked up his ears and heard the conversation between Qiao Jiusheng and the sales a.s.sistant. Because of the rejection, he could only hear a few blurry words.
“About 1.84 meters tall, medium build, and a quiet and serious personality…”
Fang Yusheng curled his lips. So this is what she thinks of me.
He could not help but adjust his posture and try to look like a serious person.
Qi Bufan glanced at Fang Yusheng and smiled.
After hearing the sales a.s.sistant’s recommendation, Qiao Jiusheng walked to the left side of the shop. She chose for a long time and finally picked a brown leather jacket. The design of the s.h.i.+rt was good, and the s.h.i.+rt was not cheap. Qiao Jiusheng took the s.h.i.+rt and sized it up.
She thought: Wei Shuyi and Fang Yusheng are about the same height. Since Wei Shuyi is not here, Fang Yusheng can try it on.
She took the clothes and walked to Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng heard her approaching and looked up to ask her, “Done choosing?”
“Yeah.”
Qiao Jiusheng hesitated before continuing, “Yusheng, can you stand up and help me by trying on these clothes?”
Fang Yusheng got excited and instantly stood up, completely ignoring the word ‘help’ in Qiao Jiusheng’s sentence. On the other hand, Qi Bufan was a little surprised. He looked at Qiao Jiusheng more.
Fang Yusheng reached out, and Qiao Jiusheng handed him the leather jacket.
He was a little surprised to discover that the material of the clothes was leather.
Could it be that Ah Sheng likes men in leather clothes?
Without thinking much, Fang Yusheng put on the leather jacket. He touched the length of the jacket and moved his arms, feeling that the size and the length of the s.h.i.+rt’s shoulders were just right. Ah Sheng’s taste is excellent. The clothes she chose are just right. They are neither big nor small and fit me perfectly.
The corners of his lips curled up because of his good mood. Without waiting for Qiao Jiusheng to speak, he said, “It’s just right. Thank you! I like it very much.” Then, he handed Qi Bufan a card and said, “Bufan, go pay the bill.”
What a joke! As a man, how can I let a woman pay the bill?
Qiao Jiusheng had originally reached out with the intention of taking off Fang Yusheng’s clothes. However, when she heard his words, she could not react in time.
Qi Bufan looked at Qiao Jiusheng’s hands and then at the happy Fang Yusheng. After thinking about it, he decided to pretend that he did not know anything. Taking the card from Fang Yusheng’s hand, he ran away to settle the bill.
Qiao Jiusheng opened her mouth, and her tongue moved. In the end, she dryly replied, “You’re welcome.”
When Qi Bufan returned, he had a bag in his hand with the clothes inside.
Qiao Jiusheng glanced at the clothes and realized that they were the same style as Fang Yusheng’s. This surprised her, and she looked at Qi Bufan without batting an eyelid.
Qi Bufan gazed back at her with a complicated expression.
Qiao Jiusheng could see many things in his eyes.
For example: ‘Don’t hurt Mr. Fang.’
Qi Bufan handed the bag to Qiao Jiusheng, who took it. Qi Bufan then handed the card to Fang Yusheng, who did not accept it. Instead, Fang Yusheng said to Qi Bufan with a smile, “Choose one for yourself.”
It was rare for a rooster to voluntarily pluck its feathers.
Qi Bufan did not stand on ceremony. He immediately turned around to pick his clothes. He was very fast, afraid that the Eldest Young Master would regret the decision.
Qiao Jiusheng carried the bag and lowered her head in a daze.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her head. Qiao Jiusheng looked up in surprise and realized that the hand was Fang Yusheng’s. Fang Yusheng gently patted her, then asked, “What color is the jacket?”
“Brown.”
“Brown… is a good color.” Fang Yusheng pursed his lips and retracted his hand. He touched his clothes and repeated, “I really like it.” He decided to wear more brown clothes in the future.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at his happy face but could not say anything.
Fang Yusheng seemed to be in a good mood the entire afternoon.
Qiao Jiusheng did not dare to think about why he was in a good mood.
After returning home, Fang Yusheng took off his clothes, hung them up, and wiped them flat. He acted as if he were treating a treasure. Qiao Jiusheng stood in the bedroom and silently watched this scene. Her feelings were indescribable.
When dinner ended, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said that she was going out.
Fang Yusheng subconsciously wanted to object, but he held back his words.
“Where are you going?” he asked in a normal tone.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “I’m going to see a friend.”
“Alright, come back early.”
“Yeah.”
Qiao Jiusheng carried the bag and left.
Fang Yusheng sat alone on the sofa and thought about it. He remained silent.
She is Qi Yunsheng now, so what friends does she have?
He regretted agreeing to let Qiao Jiusheng go out for a walk.
Suddenly feeling a little vexed, Fang Yusheng stood up and walked into the meditation room. The Heart Cleansing Incantation that could soothe his heart in the past was no longer effective now. Fang Yusheng threw down the scriptures and walked to the kitchen. He opened the third cabinet and took out a bag of cat food.
After carrying the cat food to the entrance of the house, he sat down and softly called out. In response, a group of stray cats approached him.
Fang Yusheng scattered cat food all over the floor and said, “She’s worse than a cat. She even ran out at night…”
Qiao Jiusheng returned to the house covered in silver light.
From afar, she saw the man sitting at the entrance of the house.
Fang Yusheng was wearing a cotton s.h.i.+rt and a slightly thick knitted jacket. A group of wild cats surrounded him. He kept muttering, but because his voice was soft, Qiao Jiusheng could not make out his words. She lightened her footsteps and walked closer, only to hear Fang Yusheng say to a yellow cat, “Second Black, this belongs to the Third Idiot. You’re not allowed to s.n.a.t.c.h it!”
Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.
“It’s a yellow flower cat, not a small black cat.” After saying that, Qiao Jiusheng sat down beside Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng suddenly shut his mouth.
He remained silent for a moment before asking, “What time is it?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “10: 30 pm.”
Fang Yusheng did not say anything and got up to walk into the house. Qiao Jiusheng followed him. Just as she entered the house, the man in front of her suddenly asked Qi Bufan in a loud voice, “Bufan, what time is the entrance ban? Tell Madam.” From his tone, he seemed a little unhappy.
Qi Bufan was a little confused, and Qiao Jiusheng was also surprised.
When did their family have access rights?
Qi Bufan met Qiao Jiusheng’s puzzled gaze and replied in all seriousness, “Nine thirty.”
Fang Yusheng turned around and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Since this is your first offense, I won’t punish you. If you make another mistake next time, I’ll deduct 10,000 yuan!”
There was no punishment more severe than deducting a pauper’s money.
