Chapter 376: Couples?

” Ah ?” Lin Zhiyun was really stunned. Her jaw dropped as she stared at Yang Ming.

“I’m just concerned about you… hehe …” Only then did Yang Ming feel that it was somewhat unconventional for him to say these kinds of things to a girl as a man. “There is a phrase ‘It should never be a taboo to treat a disease…’ or something like that. In short, I’m now asking as a doctor….”

“Okay, okay, can we not talk about this…” Lin Zhiyun saw that Yang Ming was going on and on that she didn’t have to be shy anymore. She said perfunctorily, “I will be fine…”

” Hehe !” Yang Ming chuckled.

“I’m going to clean myself up. You wait for me for a while…” Although Lin Zhiyun hadn’t washed up or combed her hair yet, she didn’t regard it as a matter even though she had an unkempt face in front of Yang Ming.

“Alright, you should go.” Yang Ming nodded and said, “Do you need me to step out for a while?”

“Is it still useful to step out now?” Lin Zhiyun said with a ” Hmph .” She glared at Yang Ming and rushed into the bathroom.

Yang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. What did Lin Zhiyun mean? Did she silently agree that I can peek at her? If I’m allowed, then I can use my special abilities to peek at her? Yang Ming was enjoying his evil thoughts.

Today, Lin Zhiyun didn’t wear her white down jacket but a black coat. This coat couldn’t be said to be of good quality. It should be about ten yuan in the night market, but it was very fitting on Lin Zhiyun’s body.

“Let’s go shopping.” Yang Ming suggested.

“Shopping?” Lin Zhiyun was stunned. She asked, “Don’t you have to accompany your girlfriend?”

“Aren’t you my girlfriend?” Yang Ming said pretentiously.

“…” Lin Zhiyun was speechless and shook her head. “You know what am I talking about.”

“You just put on a coat. Weren’t you planning to go shopping with me?” Yang Ming didn’t answer Lin Zhiyun’s question.

“I was dressing up to go to the university!” Lin Zhiyun said, “I injured my leg and I haven’t been to school in a few days.”

“Let’s go. I’m your boyfriend now. If I don’t accompany you to shop for a few Christmas gifts, Aunty Shen will be dissatisfied with me!” Yang Ming said with a smile, “Moreover, most probably that there won’t be many students who are going to cla.s.s today. Most of the university lectures may have adjusted themselves to be a self-study cla.s.s already.”

“Nonsense. Do you think everyone else will be skipping cla.s.ses like you?” Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, “Alright, where shall we go?”

“Let’s look around on the business street.” Yang Ming suggested, “Let’s buy you two sets of clothes.”

“Buying me clothes…” Lin Zhiyun hesitated. “Yang Ming, in fact, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of us was just a lie to my parents. You don’t have to waste your money…”

“How’s that wasting money? Even if we’re just good friends, we still have to give each other some gifts for Christmas?” Yang Ming interrupted Lin Zhiyun’s words and continued, “Moreover, when I buy clothes for you it serves the purpose of bluffing Aunty Shen! Please, I’m your boyfriend now. I don’t want your mother to roll her eyes at me!”

” Hehe …” Lin Zhiyun couldn’t help but smile when she heard Yang Ming’s words, “Alright, but not too expensive!”

” En , alright. Just take it as the tuition fee for these days. Anyway, this is what you deserved.” Yang Ming nodded and said.

The two of them went out, but unfortunately, they b.u.mped into Aunty Hong from the snack stall.

“Lin Zhiyun, Yang Ming!” Aunty Hong’s memory was particularly good. She could call out the name of the people whom she only met once easily.

“Nice to meet you, Aunty Hong! Merry Christmas!” Yang Ming smiled and greeted Aunty Hong.

“Aunty Hong!” Lin Zhiyun also greeted her. She found it odd. How did Yang Ming get to know Aunty Hong? The two of them only had a meal at Aunty Hong’s stall.

“Are you both going out together?” Aunty Hong asked.

“Yeah, Aunty Hong, where were you going?” Lin Zhiyun nodded shyly and asked.

“I’m going to the vegetable market to get some goods. The ingredients at home are almost finished!” Aunty Hong said.

“Aunty Hong, where did you plan to go?” Yang Ming asked.

“I’m going to take the public bus!” Aunty Hong laughed. “On my way back, I can take a taxi. When I head there, I don’t have to carry anything. Of course, I’ll be taking the bus.”

“Zhiyun and I are heading to the business street which is just opposite of the vegetable market. Let’s go together.” Yang Ming said.

“Okay.” Aunty Hong nodded. He thought that Yang Ming was talking about taking a bus together and didn’t mind.

Once they were out of the alley, Yang Ming opened the Jetta car door and said to Aunty Hong, “Aunty Hong, get into the car. This car is a bit old. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Ah ? You both have a car?” Aunty Hong was a little surprised. Although this car was quite average for a small family like hers. It would be unrealistic to maintain a car.

“Yours?” Lin Zhiyun was a little surprised too because Yang Ming was always driving Zhang Bing’s Pentium in the past.

“No, it’s my friend’s.” Yang Ming said.

Lin Zhiyun had become accustomed to Yang Ming’s statement. From the time Yang Ming encountered her until now, Yang Ming had already driven three cars. Initially, it was a Buick minivan, then a Pentium, and now followed by a Jetta.

Aunty Hong didn’t care. Many of the conditions of the taxis weren’t as good as this one! Yang Ming started the car engine. He first dropped Aunty Hong at the vegetable market before driving to the business street.

After he parked the car in the parking lot, Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun got off the car together. The strange thing was that even though this was a paid parking lot, the parking fee collector turned a blind eye to Yang Ming’s car. After he collected the fee at the side, he went around Yang Ming’s car to collect from other vehicles.

Obviously, it can’t be the mistake of the parking fee collector! Yesterday, Yang Ming was skeptical of the behavior of the security captain at the hotel entrance already. Thinking of today’s events, Yang Ming was sure that these people obviously knew this was Hou Zhenhan’s car. It seemed that Hou Zhenhan’s reputation had already reached the public. Of course, it couldn’t be denied that this parking lot could be the premise of Bao Sanli’s and the rest. Even if it wasn’t, public places like parking lots were p.r.o.ne to disputes, especially by the punks who didn’t want to pay for their parking. Therefore, more or less this place had a connection to Bao Sanli and the rest.

The parking fee of three yuan to five yuan for each car shouldn’t be underestimated. In one day, it could mean the income of tens of thousands of yuan.

It’s even better if no one came to collect the parking fee. Yang Ming was too lazy to ask for the reason too. He took Lin Zhiyun to the business street right away. Both of them randomly walked into a shop selling casual clothes. The clothes in this shop weren’t very expensive, and the quality was satisfactory. Yang Ming always bought clothes from such places.

“Sir and ma’am, there’s a special Christmas promotion for couples. If you were to buy a set of couple s.h.i.+rts, we’ll give you a couple concentric lock necklace!” A staff member welcomed them warmly. Most of the low-end casual shops were frequented by students and couples. So, in order to attract more customers, these stores had to rack their brains to come up with some special offers.

Generally speaking, these stores had promotions all year round, but this was also an important reason why these types of stores had a lot of customers.

“Couple s.h.i.+rts?” Lin Zhiyun was stunned. Yeah, it’s Christmas. For a man and a woman to go shopping, it’s easy for others to regard them as a couple.

“What designs are there?” Yang Ming asked casually.

“Student [1], please take a look here. These are all at the Christmas sale price. These couple vests cost ninety-nine yuan a set, and these couple windbreakers cost 268 yuan a set. If you buy a set of couple vests, we’ll give you a lover concentric lock necklace. If you buy a set of couple windbreakers, we’ll give you two lover concentric lock necklaces.” The staff member promoted skillfully.

“Zhiyun, what do you think about this small vest?” Yang Ming was thinking that this set of vests was good. It’s just nice that he had such a thing, so he can buy one. Moreover, the price wasn’t expensive either.

” Ah ? I…” Lin Zhiyun suddenly lost her mind for a moment. A couple set! But Yang Ming and I… Ai, we’re becoming more and more like a real couple!

“It’s alright student. You can try it on. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it.” The staff member said.

” En , then can you find us a set. If you look at our figures, what sizes do you think will be suitable for us?” Yang Ming asked.

” Hehe , both of you can wear the L size. Students, you two really match each other well. Unlike some couples whose body sizes are quite distinct and it’s hard to find matching couple attire…” The staff member didn’t forget to compliment them.

Yang Ming chuckled twice after listening, and Lin Zhiyun lowered her head.

Not to mention, the staff member’s eyesight was pretty good. The two of them tried the vests on and they fit very well. So, Yang Ming didn’t intend to take his off. He asked Lin Zhiyun, “Zhiyun, how do you feel about it?”

“I think… it’s okay…” Lin Zhiyun felt that the style of this small vest was pretty good and it helped to keep warm too. But since it was a couple set, Lin Zhiyun was also embarra.s.sed to say that it was particularly good.

” En , then we will buy it. Just keep it on you.” Yang Ming nodded to the staff member.

“Okay, please come here. Let me bring you to the payment counter.” The staff member brought Yang Ming to the payment counter. After he paid the money, the staff member gave the receipt to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming turned around. When he was about to leave, Lin Zhiyun suddenly recalled that the staff member had mentioned that there were complementary gifts! She was originally a conscientious girl so she quickly asked, “What about our gifts?”
