Xiaoting noticed that Mr. Zhuâs car hadnât followed, and she dialed a call directlyâ¦
The sweetness filling the car was interrupted by the discordant ringtone of the phone.
Jian Dan quickly adjusted her emotions and pressed the answer button, âHello, Xiaoting, whatâs up?â
Jian Dan was really afraid that if she talked on the phone too long, Xiaoting would come back directly.
âJian, why didnât you guys follow?â
âOh! We got stopped by a traffic light just now!â Jian Dan made up a lie hastily.
âIs that so? I thought something happened to you guys.â
âNo, donât worry!â
âThen okay, weâll drive slower, you guys catch up quickly!â
âAlright!
Uncle, letâs catch up quickly!â
Chu Liyuan, reluctant, buckled up his seatbelt, started the car, and followedâ¦
The five of them quickly prepared everything they needed for the next day.
After shopping, there was still plenty of time left, so Xiaoting dragged Jian Dan to the nearby mall, and she even forbade the men from following.
âXiaoting, whatâs with all the secrecy?â She made a simple trip to the mall seem so mysterious.
âJian, did you bring your swimsuit?â
âSwimsuit? Why bring a swimsuit? No!â
âWeâre going to the beach tomorrow, of course, you need a swimsuit! I didnât bring one either, so I plan to buy one.â
âOh!â
The two entered a swimsuit shop.
And as fate would have it, they ran into Wu Shanshan and her entourage right there!
âYou guys are also buying swimsuits?â one of the hangers-on started.
âNone of your business!â Xiaoting shot back directly.
âI wasnât planning to mind your business! I was just thinking, with your kind of figures, any swimsuit would be a waste on you, right? Haha!â Another follower chipped in.
The others laughed along.
âDonât say that, their kind of figures are just fine for childrenâs swimsuits!â Wu Shanshan said in a tone that feigned innocence.
âHahaha- Shanshan is so right! The childrenâs swimsuits are over there, do you want to go have a look?â
âYouâ¦â Xiaoting was beginning to lose her patience.
âXiaoting, why lower yourself to their level?â Jian Dan grabbed Xiaoting, âEven if we wear childrenâs swimsuits, so what? At least weâre real! Unlike some people who have nothing and yet insist on squeezing something out.â Jian Dan spoke with an obvious glance at their chests.
She had lived a few years longer than these young girls; if she couldnât tell that their chests were padded, she would have lived in vain!
Struck where it hurt by Jian Danâs words, Wu Shanshan and her group recoiled a bit, looking guilty.
âHah! Thatâs just you being sour because you canât have grapes!â Despite this, they still tried to maintain their composure.
Jian Dan gave them a meaningful look and a smile, said nothing more, and left with Xiaotingâ¦
âJian, was what you just said true?â
âTheir reaction just now answered your question.â
âDamn, so all of theirs are fake?â
Jian Dan just shrugged.
Xiaoting burst into laughter in the middle of the mall, unconcerned about appearancesâ¦
âXiaoting, this is a public place; can you be mindful of your impact?â Watching Xiaoting laughing so hard she was almost doubled over, it really wasnât a pretty sight.
âSorry, I just couldnât help myself!â Xiaoting covered her stomach.
Jian Dan facepalmed, âAre you still buying a swimsuit or not?â
âOf course! Why wouldnât I? I donât want to lose to them!â
The two entered another swimwear store.
Seeing Xiaoting pick up a bikini, âXiaoting, do you have to be so exaggerated?â It really was too much for a high schooler to wear a bikini.
âOf course not for me, Iâm picking it for you!â she said, sizing it up against Jian Danâs body.
âGive it a rest! Stop teasing me! I absolutely canât do this!â Jian Dan pushed away the bikini in front of her with a hand.
âIt looks so pretty!â
âIf you like it, you wear it! I cannot indulge in such luxury!â
Jian Dan went over to another section and picked up a short-sleeved, boxer-style swimsuit, âThis seems okay!â
Chu Li shouldnât say anything about this style, right?
âJian, why are you buying a diving suit?â
âHow is this a diving suit?â
âIt doesnât look much different, does it?â Xiaoting commented, looking at the very conservative swimsuit in Jian Danâs hand.
âThereâs a big difference, okay?
I like this one!â Jian Dan said and went to check out.
Xiaoting watched Jian Danâs retreating figure and a smile curled at the corner of her mouthâ¦.
