After taking a car to the mall, the four of them had a simple brunch.
It was still early before the movie, so Wen Tingxue and Xu Kexin decided to go shopping.
Yu Wenli and Xing Jiahe had no objections and let the driver go back first.
As they browsed on the third floor, Yu Wenli and Xing Jiahe exchanged glances, feeling a sense of… despair.
They had truly never gone shopping with young ladies before.
It was more tiring than shopping with their parents.
The crucial point was, they didn't buy anything, but they loved to browse.
Parents at least looked around and picked things in one store.
These two would walk into a store, look around, and leave.
They didn't even get a chance to sit down.
It was… tiring, wasn't it? Their hearts were tired.
Especially with the two girls in front and the two guys trailing behind.
Even as brothers, they had nothing to talk about while browsing women's clothing stores.
Only in the cosmetics store or general merchandise stores that sold a bit of everything could they spend more time.
But neither of them had any expertise in these areas, so when the girls asked for their opinions, they could only say—
"It looks good, buy it."
...
Wen Tingxue and Xu Kexin didn't know how to put on makeup and didn't care about it.
But things were different now, they had someone they liked.
They had to learn a little, more or less.
So, the two of them huddled together, researching which brand of lipstick was more moisturizing and looked better.
Xing Jiahe looked at a pile of shades, stroked his chin, and asked, "Brother Yu, can you tell the difference between these colors?"
To him, they all looked the same.
Yu Wenli said, "They're all red."
Xing Jiahe: "..." Isn't that stating the obvious?
"I thought you knew everything," Xing Jiahe sighed. "So, you have your blind spots too."
Yu Wenli: "..."
I'm just a human, thank you.
"Brother Yu," the young lady came over with four lipsticks, looking expectant, "which color do you think looks better?"
Yu Wenli: "..."
He felt all four colors were indistinguishable.
But if asked which one looked better—
"Buy them all, brother will pay."
He patted the young lady's head, deciding to use money to solve the problem of choice.
"Oh."
Wen Tingxue took the four lipsticks back without a change in expression and said to Xu Kexin, "See? I told you he wouldn't be able to tell."
Yu Wenli: "..."
Xu Kexin tsked, "I thought he was omnipotent."
Yu Wenli glanced at Xing Jiahe resentfully: "..."
Xing Jiahe: "It has nothing to do with me."
On the fifth floor, they ran into Chi Zerui and Hao Luo'er.
The two were arguing about something. Hao Luo'er was following behind Chi Zerui as he came out of a men's clothing store, her expression anxious.
Chi Zerui, expressionless, paused for a few seconds when he saw the four of them together and teased,
"Going on a group date? Can we join?"
Hao Luo'er blinked in surprise.
Then she quickly walked over to Chi Zerui's side.
She obediently linked her arm through his and smiled, greeting everyone.
Yu Wenli was now resigned. Since he couldn't do anything, why not have another couple join them?
No one should have an easy time.
Wen Tingxue noticed that Hao Luo'er's face was well-made-up, and her lipstick looked particularly good.
So she pulled Xu Kexin over and asked her what shade she was using.
Hao Luo'er really liked the two of them and enthusiastically led them to her regular brand to try colors.
The three of them chatted merrily, and in the blink of an eye, they forgot about the three boys behind them.
Yu Wenli: "..."
Xing Jiahe: "..."
Chi Zerui looked down at his phone and said, "I think we should call Brother Mu over now, hahahaha."
Yu Wenli said, "He'll tell you to get lost."
Chi Zerui burst into laughter, "Look."
He handed over his phone.
Yu Wenli and Xing Jiahe glanced at it.
Leopard Leopard: [Photo: The three of them sitting on the sofa in a row]
Leopard Leopard: Coming?
Galaxy: ...Where?
Leopard Leopard: [Address]
Galaxy: ...Ten minutes.
Leopard Leopard: [Photo: Three girls huddled together choosing lipstick]
Leopard Leopard: Remember to bring one, or you'll be lonely.
Galaxy immediately replied: Scram.
Perhaps feeling it wasn't forceful enough, he later sent three exclamation marks.
"Hahahaha," Chi Zerui still found it amusing as he recalled.
"Even Brother Xing has found a love interest, and he's still single. I'm really worried he'll never find a girlfriend in his life."
Xing Jiahe: "Mm."
Wait—
"What do you mean?" Xing Jiahe nudged Chi Zerui's head, belatedly calculating.
Chi Zerui said with a sincere expression, "I mean I'm complimenting you."
"Oh." Xing Jiahe actually believed him.
Yu Wenli smiled helplessly and asked, "What were you guys arguing about just now?"
"Tsk."
Chi Zerui ran his hand through his hair irritably, "Breaking up, that's what."
Xing Jiahe looked up, "You're breaking up?"
"Otherwise? When have I ever been dumped?"
Yu Wenli paused for a second, "Why? Isn't the young lady fine?"
Chi Zerui leaned back on the sofa at an angle, saying nonchalantly,
"Got tired of her."
***
Finally, it was time for the movie, and Yu Wenli insisted on... watching SEPARATELY!
Xing Jiahe fully agreed, and Chi Zerui was his usual indifferent self.
Wen Tingxue wanted to watch with the girls, but seeing Yu Wenli's expression, she decided to comply.
"Brother Yu."
The soft voice, with a hint of appeasement.
"What are we watching?"
The young lady peeked out from behind him, her eyes blinking, trying to charm her way through.
Yu Wenli laughed angrily, "You still remember Brother Yu? I thought you only remembered Xin Xin and Sister Luo'er."
Wen Tingxue: "..." What is this.
He's even jealous of girls.
"This jealousy is so unreasonable," the young lady mumbled, holding her milk tea. "It's too much."
Yu Wenli pulled her over and counted, "From Monday to Friday, brother waited five days.
"From morning until now, brother has only said less than ten sentences to you. Who is being unreasonable?"
"..."
Wen Tingxue admitted she was in the wrong and paused for a second, saying, "But I was also looking forward to last Saturday, and we..."
Yu Wenli's expression changed slightly, and he covered her mouth, "Let's choose a movie instead."
Wen Tingxue: "..."
Heh, men.
***
Wen Tingxue chose a romance movie again, just like last time.
On purpose.
She couldn't be the only one crying, she wanted him to cry buckets too!
As a result.
The reality was far from her expectation!
Not only did he not cry!
He even...
When the male and female leads kissed in the movie, he didn't let her go.
When the male and female leads hugged and cried in the movie, he still didn't let her go, claiming it was to wipe away tears, and he didn't have any tissues.
Scoundrel!
What were the tissues in his pocket?!
Did he think she was blind?!
He was just bullying her because she couldn't hold her breath, right?!
Beast!
Outrageous!
Her legs were weak... multiple times.
The updates have been unstable these past two days, I apologize to everyone. Here's a makeup chapter, please don't abandon me~~~ (crying and clinging to your legs)
