Chapter 16 Why don't you put your clothes on first?
The capital city, Xidan commercial district.
"Tangtang, look at this store! The dresses inside are so pretty! Come on, let's go in and have a look!"
Mao Junjie was about to invite Tang Yan to go shopping at the women's clothing store when she turned around and saw that Tang Yan had already walked into a men's clothing store on her own.
Mao Junjie sighed helplessly and followed Tang Yan inside.
"I'm really fed up with you. You said you'd come with me to buy clothes, and it's been all morning just shopping for men's clothing with you!"
She looked at the shopping bag in Tang Yan's hand, "You bought a top, pants, even socks, why didn't you just buy underwear too!"
Mao Junjie had always had a loud voice, and as soon as she spoke, Tang Yan blushed instantly. "What nonsense are you talking about? Keep your voice down."
"You know, Lao Xu is really lucky. You've almost bought him all his summer clothes."
"I've noticed he's been wearing long sleeves the past few days," Tang Yan said, holding up a polo shirt. "Do you think this color looks good on him?"
"Everything looks good on you! Everything your family wears looks good!"
"Boss, could you get me a size 185, green one?"
After paying and leaving the men's clothing store, Mao Junjie breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Tang Yan's hand, and said, "Can you come with me to look at clothes now...?"
"Oh, and the shoes!"
Tang Yan turned around and walked towards the shoe store next door.
"Sigh, he values women more than friends!" Mao Junjie said, hands on her hips. "Xu Jingxing, you just wait!"
......
That evening.
Xu Jingxing looked at Zhang Jiani, who was still fast asleep beside him, and thoughtfully covered her with a blanket. Then he got up, dressed, and quietly opened the door and went out.
They fought from morning until noon, and didn't even have time to eat lunch before falling asleep together.
When Xu Jingxing arrived in the morning, he noticed that there was a commercial street not far from the hotel, so he planned to go out and buy some food so that Zhang Jiani could have something to eat after she woke up.
The commercial street wasn't very big, and most of the shops sold clothing and shoes. Only at the very end did we find a shop selling rice noodles.
Just as I was about to go inside, the phone suddenly rang.
The landline number starts with 0579 and is from Baohua City.
"Hello, is this Mr. Xu Jingxing?" a male voice came from the phone.
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"My name is Li Liang. We've worked together before, I wonder if Mr. Xu remembers?"
Xu Jingxing remembered that when he was filming GG with Tang Yan, Li Liang was the assistant director on set.
"Brother Liang, of course I remember."
"Hehe, that's good." Li Liang paused for a moment, "It's like this, Mr. Xu, Director Cheng has a new drama, a Investiture of the Gods themed drama, and there's a role in it that Director Cheng thinks is quite suitable for you. I wonder if you have time to come to Hengdian recently so we can audition."
"Brother Liang, just call me Xiao Xu." Xu Jingxing said politely. "Of course I have time for Director Cheng's film, but I have some things to take care of in Linxiang right now. I can go there in four days."
"Okay, I understand."
A sound of writing came through the receiver, and then Li Liang continued, "Then let's set it for next Wednesday. I'll send you the address via text message in a bit."
"Okay, Brother Liang, thank you for your help."
"fine."
After hanging up the phone, a text message came shortly after.
Xu Jingxing walked into the rice noodle shop while looking down at his text message, completely unaware that someone was walking out of the shop, and bumped right into him.
The rice noodles that the other person had just bought for takeout were also poured all over Xu Jingxing.
"what!"
Two cries of pain rang out simultaneously.
Xu Jingxing was somewhat relieved that he had worn a coat when he went out, as the soup had been splashed onto the waterproof coat; otherwise, the freshly cooked rice noodles would have scalded him so badly that his skin would have peeled off.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," the other person quickly apologized. "Did I burn you?"
"It's nothing." Xu Jingxing took off his coat. "I was just looking at my phone and didn't notice you."
The girl who was hit looked up and revealed a face that perfectly matched Eastern aesthetics.
Xu Jingxing was somewhat surprised and paused for a moment.
Liu Shishi?
Their eyes met.
Xu Jingxing then noticed that Liu Shishi's face turned red at a visible speed.
Then, Liu Shishi quickly looked away, trying to pick up the rice noodles that had fallen on the ground, but ended up stepping on the rice noodle soup.
He swayed, lost his balance, and was about to fall.
Xu Jingxing quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm:
"Watch out!"
"Ah...th...thank you!"
Liu Shishi was still in shock and stammered as she spoke.
But she didn't dare look at Xu Jingxing; her eyes were always looking elsewhere.
Xu Jingxing was somewhat puzzled.
He's not that handsome yet, so why are you embarrassed to look at yourself?
"There's a men's clothing store next door. How about I buy you a new shirt?"
Liu Shishi pointed to Xu Jingxing's coat, which was still dripping with soup, and said, "You can't wear this anymore."
"It's okay, it's okay, I still have... Oh my god!"
Embarrassed.
Xu Jingxing suddenly remembered that he hadn't even had time to take off his shirt before he went into battle at the hotel that morning.
As a result, Zhang Jiani got the hem of her shirt wet during the battle, so she just put on a jacket when she went out.
"Why don't you wait for me? I'll go buy a shirt first, and then I'll buy you a bowl of rice noodles when I get back."
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Shishi's objection, he hurriedly ran towards the men's clothing store next door.
Upon entering the store, under the strange gazes of the staff, I casually picked up a T-shirt displayed at the entrance, checked the size, and without even trying it on, prepared to take it directly to the cashier to pay.
"199 yuan, sir." The cashier looked at Xu Jingxing with a half-smile. "We have a promotion going on right now: top up 500 yuan and get a 85% discount."
"Just pay now, I need to get dressed quickly."
"Okay, sir, here's your 200."
Just as the cashier was about to take the two hundred-yuan bills from Xu Jingxing's hand, Liu Shishi, who had just finished tidying up the rice noodle bags on the ground, came in and snatched the money from Xu Jingxing's hand.
"I got it dirty, so I definitely have to buy you a new one."
After saying that, he prepared to take out money from his wallet and hand it to the cashier.
"Really, you don't need to. I was the one who bumped into you."
"No, I have to pay for it, otherwise I won't feel right."
"Need not......"
"use......"
Xu Jingxing, shirtless, started arguing with Liu Shishi inside the shop.
"Sir, we also have women's clothing in our store," the sales clerk interrupted the two who were arguing. "Why don't you pick out another one for your girlfriend? Buy two and you'll get a 9% discount."
"You've misunderstood, I didn't..."
While Liu Shishi was explaining to the shop assistant, Xu Jingxing quickly stuffed the money into the cashier's hand.
"Keep the change, please!"
Before the price tags were even torn off, he picked up the clothes, grabbed Liu Shishi, and walked out.
"etc!"
Liu Shishi called out from behind.
Xu Jingxing quickly stopped and turned around, about to ask what was wrong, when Liu Shishi, who hadn't reacted yet, suddenly bumped into Xu Jingxing's arms again.
Seeing that she was about to be knocked backward again, Xu Jingxing quickly grabbed Liu Shishi and pulled her into his arms.
The atmosphere froze instantly.
Xu Jingxing's arm was wrapped around Liu Shishi's waist, and he could feel her back suddenly tense up through the thin fabric of her clothes.
Her forehead rested on Xu Jingxing's shoulder, and her breathing was noticeably erratic.
People were coming and going around them, and many were looking in their direction.
"Why don't you put your clothes on first..."
