the next day!
Liu Zimu took his wallet out of his pocket, glanced at it, and then closed it again.
Choi Sulli linked arms with him, rested her head on his shoulder, and the two stood at the entrance of Lotte Department Store.
"Oppa, why are you looking through your wallet?"
"Check if you brought your card."
"It's okay, I brought it. I told you I'd take care of you!"
"But you can't just spend it recklessly." Liu Zimu stuffed his wallet back into his pocket, and was pulled inside by her. "I told you I didn't want to come, but you insisted."
Today, Choi Sulli wore a cream-colored short down jacket, black skinny jeans, white canvas shoes, her hair was down, and she wore light makeup.
Liu Zimu thought her clothes today were better than many of the clothes in her walk-in closet at home.
"What are you laughing at?" Choi Sulli tilted her head to look at him, squinting her eyes.
"You look beautiful today, and this outfit suits you well too."
"When am I not good-looking?" She reached out and poked his cheek, smiling broadly.
Liu Zimu slapped her hand away, pushed open the glass door, and was greeted by a warm breeze carrying the fragrance of the mall.
The first floor sells cosmetics, and the sales assistants stand in a row in uniform, bowing to customers as they see them.
Sulli pulled him toward the men's clothing floor. As the elevator went up, she suddenly asked, "Oppa, how long have you been wearing that coat?"
Liu Zimu looked down at the black coat he was wearing.
He already had the original owner's clothes when he transmigrated, and he never thought of changing them: "I don't know."
"You bought this three years ago, right?" Choi Sulli reached out and touched the cuff of her coat; it was already a bit pilled from wear. "I have to get you a new outfit today! No! Three outfits!"
"I think it's alright. You know, I come from a poor family."
"You're the kind of person who doesn't care about anything." Her tone was a bit sharp, but she still held his arm.
On the third floor, in the men's clothing section, Choi Sulli pulled him into a designer brand store.
The sales assistant immediately came up to her, and Choi Sulli took off her mask and smiled at her.
This startled the sales assistant, who opened her mouth and then closed it again, her voice changing slightly: "Choi...Choi Sulli?"
"Yes." Choi Sulli didn't say much, her gaze already sweeping over the row of coats hanging on the shelf.
She pulled out a gray cashmere coat, the fabric of which felt very soft. She held it up against Liu Zimu, tilted her head to look at it for a couple of seconds, and then put it back.
He pulled out a dark blue one, draped it over his shoulder, stepped back two paces to look at it, shook his head, and put it back.
"Oppa! Turn around."
"Choi Jin-ri, do you think I'm a clothes hanger?"
"You're the clothes hanger, the biggest clothes hanger today." She pushed him around and pulled out a black coat. This time, she didn't hold it up, but put it directly on him.
Liu Zimu was being helped into the clothes by her, while Cui Xueli took two steps back, put her hands on her hips, and tilted her head to look.
The sales assistant smiled and said that this was a newly arrived style, the fabric was imported from Italy, and the cut was very good.
Choi Sulli nodded, took two steps forward to straighten his collar, and secretly brushed her fingers against his collarbone a couple of times.
"This one is fine."
"This one is fine then." Liu Zimu also thought it was good.
"What's the rush?" Choi Sulli quickly glared at him, then turned around and went to rummage through her pants again.
Liu Zimu stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror wearing a new coat.
This coat is dark black, the fabric drapes beautifully, and the shoulder line is just right; it looks quite stylish.
He turned his collar up and then down again. Choi Sulli came back carrying two pairs of pants and laughed when she saw him do this.
"Naive." She shoved the pants into his hand. "Go ahead and try them on."
The dressing room wasn't big. Liu Zimu had just taken off his coat when there was a knock on the door, and Cui Xueli's voice came from outside: "Oppa, may I come in?"
"Hey! What are you doing here?"
She said it so naturally: "Let me take a look for you, why are you shy?"
"No need, I can see it myself." The person was resisting with all their might.
Just as he finished putting on his pants, Choi Sulli suddenly pushed the door open and came in. The dressing room became even more cramped, and the two of them were almost touching, their noses filled with the scent of her perfume.
She squatted down, touched the hem of the pants to measure the length, and looked up at Liu Zimu: "These pants are too long, they need to be altered. The black ones will fit perfectly, you look good in black."
She was crouching down, looking up at him from an angle where her chin was pointed and her lips were covered with a thin layer of lip gloss.
Liu Zimu was somewhat dazed; Cui Xueli today had truly captivated him.
He knew she was trying her best to be a good girlfriend, or even a wife.
He couldn't help but reach out and rub her head: "Get up, the ground is cold."
Cui Xueli stood up, but swayed slightly. Liu Zimu supported her waist, and she leaned into his arms, burying her face in his chest.
"Oppa, can you please be kinder to yourself in the future?"
Liu Zimu lowered his head, resting his chin on the top of her head: "Buying clothes is just treating yourself?"
"It's not just clothes." Choi Sulli's voice muffled against his chest. "You're the kind of person who doesn't care about anything. You don't care about eating, you don't care about what you wear, you don't even care if you're doing well or not."
She suddenly looked up, meeting his gaze: "Now, you can't be indifferent to everything; you still have me."
Liu Zimu looked at her, about to say something, when Cui Xueli laughed first and reached out to pinch his nose.
"Alright, stop being so sentimental. Hurry up and get changed. I still need to pick out shoes for you."
She turned around, opened the door, and went out.
Liu Zimu stood in the dressing room, facing the not-so-large full-length mirror.
The person in the mirror was wearing new pants and a new coat, and definitely looked much more energetic than before.
Push the door open and go out.
Choi Sulli was already waiting by the cashier, holding a dark gray scarf, which she wrapped around his neck.
"I want this one too."
The sales assistant smiled and nodded, then began calculating the bill.
Cui Xueli took out a card from her bag and handed it over, but Liu Zimu stopped her, saying, "I can do it myself."
"What do you mean, 'you'? I haven't bought you anything yet. I'll manage all the household expenses from now on!" She brushed his hand away and shoved the card into the sales assistant's hand.
The sales assistant smiled and said, "Shirley, you're so good to your boyfriend!"
Sulli smiled happily: "My oppa treats me even better!"
Then she turned to Liu Zimu triumphantly and said, "Now you have clothes that I bought for you. If you dare to run, take them off completely before you run."
"Choi Jinri."
"Huh?" She tilted her head.
"Isn't your possessiveness a bit excessive?"
Choi Sulli snorted, took his arm, and walked out: "It's not excessive. What's this? I have many more excessive things I haven't done yet."
The two then visited several more stores.
As Liu Zimu emerged from the last store, he was carrying several shopping bags in one hand, while Cui Xueli was holding his other arm.
As she walked through the courtyard, Choi Sulli suddenly stopped.
Liu Zimu followed her gaze and looked over.
Two women were standing on the escalator, coming down from the fourth floor.
The one on the left is wearing a black baseball cap, a long down jacket, and a scarf casually draped around her neck; she looks gentle and kind.
Lim Yoon-a.
The one on the right is wearing a military green parka, her hair is tied in a low ponytail, and she has a serious expression. She is turning her head to talk to Lim Yoona.
Kwon Yuri.
The four people's eyes met in the air.
Choi Sulli didn't move, nor did she let go of his arm; she just stood there watching.
Lin Yoona's expression changed slightly. Her gaze shifted from Choi Sulli's face to Liu Zimu, and then back to Choi Sulli's face.
She smiled.
Liu Zimu had seen that kind of smile before, and it made her unhappy.
Kwon Yuri's face was somewhat pale.
Because of her brother, her recent schedule has been suspended, and she has been constantly apologizing to the public.
