Lin Hai walked up to Chu Lin’er.
“Hey, what do you women like?”
Chu Lin’er’s eyes lit up.
“Pretty clothes, of course! Are you going to buy me some?” Chu Lin’er blinked repeatedly, acting cute.
“You’re overthinking it. I was just asking.” Lin Hai said casually and left the villa.
He had just worn Xian’er’s clothes last time and promised to bring her something nice next time, so he might as well buy her some clothes.
Lin Hai hailed a taxi and headed straight for Hualin New World.
Now that Lin Hai was rich, he could frequent such high-end places.
After some searching, Lin Hai stopped in front of a yellow cheongsam.
“Xian’er is a classic beauty. This cheongsam not only flatters her figure but also suits her temperament perfectly.”
Lin Hai decided to buy this cheongsam.
Cheongsams are very form-fitting; too big or too small, and Lin Hai was now troubled.
What to do? He couldn’t very well let Xian’er come out of the Holy Realm and try it on herself.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, a tall, stunningly beautiful girl with a beauty mark between her eyebrows passed by the shop entrance, immediately catching Lin Hai’s eye.
Although the girl was dressed simply and wore no makeup, her outstanding temperament was undeniable, especially the melancholy that emanated from her very being, which was incredibly attractive to men.
“The melancholy campus belle, Ling Chuchu!” Lin Hai recognized the girl.
She was one of the four campus belles of Jiangnan University, on par with Liu Xinyue. They used to talk about her quite a bit in the boys’ dormitory. “Lin Hai?” Ling Chuchu noticed Lin Hai and walked towards him.
“You know me?” Lin Hai was surprised. He didn’t seem to have any connection with Ling Chuchu.
Ling Chuchu smiled gently. “Who doesn’t know our school’s singing champion?”
“Uh…it’s just what my classmates call me.” Lin Hai scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
“Huh?” Lin Hai suddenly noticed that Ling Chuchu and Xian’er had very similar figures.
“Um, Senior Ling Chuchu, could I ask you for a favor?” Lin Hai said somewhat awkwardly. After all, they hadn’t known each other before, and he felt a little embarrassed to ask for help so abruptly.
“What favor? Tell me.” Ling Chuchu smiled slightly, revealing two dimples.
“Um, could you help me try on this yellow cheongsam?” Lin Hai pointed to the cheongsam and said.
Ling Chuchu gave Lin Hai a meaningful look.
“You bought this for Xin Yue, right? Xin Yue and I have almost the same figure.”
“Uh…yes.” Lin Hai nodded somewhat guiltily.
“Okay, let me help you try it on.” Ling Chu Chu nodded and reached for the cheongsam.
“Chu Chu? What a coincidence? Buying clothes? Which one do you like? Pick whatever you like, I’ll give it to you!” A man’s voice called out with surprise.
Ling Chu Chu frowned immediately.
“Thank you, no need.”
“Chu Chu, why are you being so polite with me? I’m not bragging, but my family…”
“Huh? Damn it, it’s you?” Zhao Kun suddenly saw Lin Hai in the store and immediately remembered what happened at the gate of Jiangnan No. 1 Middle School that day.
“Oh, isn’t this Young Master Zhao? How’s the dog you bought for 5 million? Are you satisfied? Hmm? Wearing floral shorts today, quite unique.” Lin Hai mocked sarcastically.
“What a load of rubbish!” Zhao Kun was furious at the thought of that dog.
At the same time, his legs suddenly tightened.
“Damn it, how did he know I was wearing flowery shorts today?” Zhao Kun glared at Lin Hai.
“Chu Chu, let’s go to another place. Stay away from this guy, he’s awful.” Saying this, Zhao Kun reached out to grab Ling Chu Chu.
“Zhao Kun, I don’t know you, don’t pull me around.” Ling Chu Chu quickly hid behind Lin Hai.
“Chu Chu, you…”
“Get lost! Do you have to have people write their dislike on their faces before you understand? You’re a pig-brain!” Lin Hai rolled his eyes at Zhao Kun.
“You, who the hell are you calling a pig-brain!”
“Sigh, calling you a pig-brain isn’t unfair. I’ve made myself perfectly clear, and you still don’t understand who I’m talking about?” Lin Hai chuckled and shook his head.
“Are you fucking asking for it!” Zhao Kun’s face turned fierce.
“Oh ho, I’m asking for it, so what? Come on, come at me if you dare!” Lin Hai beckoned with his finger.
“I, I, I’m a gentleman who uses words, not fists!” Without any lackeys following him, Zhao Kun wouldn’t dare lay a hand on Lin Hai even if he had the guts. After stammering for a while, he blurted out this.
Pfft! Ling Chuchu couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Lin Hai stared at Zhao Kun with a strange expression.
Damn, this is too bizarre! Can people really be this shameless?
Seeing Ling Chuchu laugh, Zhao Kun immediately shamelessly moved closer.
“Chuchu, please give me a chance, I’m sincere towards you, I…”
“Brother Kun!” Suddenly, a woman’s sad voice came from the doorway.
Lin Hai looked over, and holy crap, isn’t that Amei from last time with Zhao Kun? Wasn’t Zhao Kun wearing her underwear?
“Damn, this guy is shameless, utterly shameless! He’s actually flirting with other girls! Unbelievable!”
“Shut up! Chuchu, I was just playing around with her. My heart belongs only to you, I…”
“I already have a boyfriend. Please stop bothering me,” Ling Chuchu suddenly said.
“You…you have a boyfriend? Who?” Zhao Kun was stunned, then saw Ling Chuchu’s small hand hook around Lin Hai’s arm.
“Chuchu, you…” Zhao Kun’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Lin Hai was also dumbfounded.
Feeling the cool, smooth sensation on his arm and the faint fragrance that occasionally wafted into his nostrils, Lin Hai felt his body stiffen.
“Damn it, first Liu Xinyue, now Ling Chuchu, is brother a shield for the school beauty?” Lin Hai immediately understood what was going on.
“You, you fucking let go of Chuchu!” Zhao Kun reacted, pointing at Lin Hai and shouting angrily.
Lin Hai rolled his eyes. “Damn it, please look carefully! Who’s holding whom here?”
“You son of a bitch, I’ll give you one more chance. Let go of Chu Chu, or I’ll kill you!”
“Slap!” Lin Hai slapped Zhao Kun across the face.
“Get lost!” Lin Hai realized that with this kind of guy, you had to be tough.
“You, you dare hit me?” Zhao Kun covered his face, looking incredulous.
“Slap!” Lin Hai slapped him again.
“Get lost or not!” Lin Hai shouted angrily.
“You, you, you…” Zhao Kun pointed at Lin Hai, his lips trembling.
Lin Hai raised his hand again, ready to strike.
“Oh my god.” Zhao Kun quickly covered his face in fright.
“Tch, coward.” Lin Hai withdrew his hand, saying disdainfully.
“You, you, you…” Zhao Kun seemed to feel endless humiliation, his eyes reddening.
“I’ll ask you one more time, are you getting out or not!” Lin Hai glared, raising his hand again.
“You, you, you…”
“Damn it, can’t you say anything else? You’ve been babbling on and on for ages.”
“I, I, I…”
“Ugh.” Lin Hai slapped his forehead, utterly exasperated.
“Shut up! If you keep babbling on and on, I’ll slap you!” Lin Hai was on the verge of a breakdown.
“Waaah!” Unexpectedly, Zhao Kun burst into tears.
“You wait, I’m going home to tell my mom. Waaah… Mom…” Zhao Kun ran away crying.
Lin Hai and Ling Chuchu were both dumbfounded.
“Were we just… bullying a kid?” It took Lin Hai a while to realize what was going on.
“He… he’s not underage, is he?” Ling Chuchu was also at a loss for words.
Suddenly, they realized their arms were still linked.
Ling Chuchu quickly let go.
“I’m sorry, I used you as a shield. I was just so fed up with Zhao Kun,” Ling Chuchu said apologetically, her face flushed.
“It’s okay, I bet every boy in the school would be eager to be a shield like that.”
Ling Chuchu smiled slightly, not replying, and turned to take down the yellow cheongsam.
“I’ll go help you try it on.”
“Okay.” Lin Hai nodded.
Less than ten minutes later, the fitting room door opened.
Lin Hai looked up and was immediately stunned.
