“I’ve already promised Yanqing to acpany him tomorrow. Let’s hang out some other time,” Lin Gantang said.
“Hah… You lovebirds don’t have freedom at all. Fortunately, I’m still single.” Bei Bei shook her head. “I’ll head to the bar tomorrow night to see that handsome young man. Who knows? Maybe he’ll be that outstanding figure swimming in riches who’ll e to love me at first sight, just like it always happens in those novels. I can’t wait!”
“Oh? A young man?” Lin Gantang chuckled, intent on destroying Bei Bei’s cute fantasy. “Outstanding men are all busy running their lives and handling serious matters. How could they have the time to hang out in bars?”
“Ah, shut up! You’re so cruel! Now there’s nothing for me to dream about tonight…”
Lin Gantang could not help but laugh.
Her laughter was lighthearted and cheerful, attracting Wen Yanqing’s attention multiple times.
While Lin Gantang spoke on the phone, Wen Yanqing fed Big Mi his dried fish. He stroked Big Mi from head to tail and asked, “Who’s this young man you were talking about?”
“Hmm?” Lin Gantang was still looking at her phone. “Oh, it’s just someone at a bar I go to,” she replied. “Bei Bei said she’s going to the bar tomorrow night to meet that handsome young man.”
“And she asked you to go with her, I presume?” Wen Yanqing asked casually.
“Well, she did, but I told her I was going out with you. Besides, I promised you not to return to that bar again.”
Wen Yanqing smiled, expressing his satisfaction with her response.
Wen Yanqing had not forgotten his promise to go shopping with Lin Gantang the next day. He was already thinking about where they would go and what they would buy. Lin Gantang was unsure why Wen Yanqing seemed so eager to go out with her. Was he bored at home?
It just so happened that summer was around the corner. Lin Gantang thought it was a good time to update her seasonal wardrobe. She had always liked wearing fashionable yet fortable clothes at home or outside.
The next day, the two of them arrived at Beaver Square.
The fountain in the middle of the square spewed columns of water high into the air, and the falling droplets formed a light mist, which allowed rainbows to form. It was a beautiful sight.
Winds carried the mist from the fountain to their side, creating a cooling and refreshing feeling.
Footsteps clattered along the pavement, and children’s laughter as they chased one another brought joy to people’s hearts, relaxing in the early summer morning.
Lin Gantang finally understood why her Dad wanted her and Yanqing to go out more often. Life was so full of color beyond what they had grown accustomed to in their little bubble; it was vastly different but no less enriching.
“Hand on tight, or we might get separated.” Wen Yanqing gripped her hand firmly.
“Haha!” Lin Gantang chuckled. She was in a good mood. “Alright, if you say so. I doubt I’d lose sight of you, though. You’re the shining star in my heart; I’d always find you at a glance.”
Her fingers twined around his as she spoke, interlocking in a crisscross of thatched lines.
Wen Yanqing smiled, revealing his dimples. A faint light seemed to overflow from his eyes.
Lin Gantang led the way to the mall. She browsed through the displays, eyeing several shops with new outfits that dazzled her. “I’m having a hard time choosing. Why don’t I take a catalog home to pick the ones I like? Asking me to choose one or the other on the spot is too hard!”
“Am I not rich enough?” Wen Yanqing suddenly asked.
“What?”
“How can a rich person have difficulty choosing? Just have them pack up everything. How long has it been since I gave you that black card?”
“… You’re not joking.” Lin Gantang tugged his sleeve. “e, the weather is warm. I’ll help you pick a few clothes. I don’t think I’ve picked out anything for you before…”
“No, we weren’t together last summer.”
“You remember.”
Lin Gantang entered the men’s clothing section and was instantly attracted by a particular piece on display. She glanced at Wen Yanqing and giggled.
For some reason, Wen Yanqing felt Lin Gantang was exceptionally fast at picking out clothes that day. Since they were done, he gestured for them to head to the cashier.
They encountered no difficulties along the way.
“What have you picked out for me? What do they look like?”
Lin Gantang chuckled. “Trust me. They’re amazing. You’ll be the most eye-catching man around.”
‘But there’s something wrong with your laughter…’ Wen Yanqing thought..
