In the living room, Mr. Lin was chatting with an old friend on WeChat. He noticed Lin Gantang leading Wen Yanqing downstairs and heading straight for the door.
âDad, weâre leaving,â Lin Gantang said, slinging on her small backpack.
Mr. Lin observed that Lin Gantang had changed her clothes and asked, âWhere are you two going so late?â
âOn a date, Dad. Otherwise, what should we do, save the earth?â Her daughterâs straightforward response left Mr. Lin speechless.
Mr. Lin grumbled in dissatisfaction, âItâs late at night, what kind of date is this?â
Why was it considered late? The nightlife for young people had just begun, and Lin Gantang retorted, âDad, you need to keep up with the trend. Auntie Cen has long grasped the essence of square dancing. She dances ballroom dancing with everyone in the villaâs small square every night. Dad, you should go dance when you have free time.â
âGo, go, go, just leave quickly. Iâm an old man, what am I going to dance for?â Mr. Lin, who was never too happy to see her, hurriedly ushered her out.
Lin Gantang got into Wen Yanqingâs car, fastened her seatbelt, and said, âMy mom isnât around anymore, and my dad has taken over my momâs role. Donât mind his nagging.â
Wen Yanqing couldnât help but laugh. âI wonât. Uncle is very amiable.â
The villaâs location was excellent, and if they drove, it wouldnât take too long to reach the food street.
Lin Gantang glanced at Wen Yanqingâs attire. He had just returned from a social gathering, dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He looked very handsome, but he might not be suitable for shopping.
âLetâs go buy some clothes first,â Lin Gantang suggested.
Wen Yanqing thought Lin Gantang wanted to buy clothes for herself, so he was quite surprised when she led him to the menâs clothing section.
âYou have quite a few formal outfits. Add a few casual ones,â Lin Gantang said, taking him inside the store. The enthusiastic salesperson immediately approached to introduce them.
With such a vast selection, Lin Gantang didnât need to ask for Wen Yanqingâs measurements this time. She simply showed him the items she liked. She always felt that everything suited him.
The sharp-eyed and shrewd salesperson noticed her indecision. The handsome man beside her was all smiles, letting her take the lead. The salesperson then suggested, âMiss, the item you have in your hand is also quite nice. It complements your outfit very well. When you two wear it together, youâll look like a couple.â
Lin Gantang was wearing a loose beige sweater that reached her thighs. She wore it as a dress, paired it with an exquisite bag, and tied her hair into a lively bun.
Upon closer examination, Lin Gantang found that it was indeed a good match. She asked, âWould you like to try it?â
Wen Yanqing smiled and took it to the fitting room.
When he emerged, Lin Gantangâs eyes lit up. She was used to seeing him in a white shirt, but now that Wen Yanqing had changed his attire, he reminded her of his youthful and inexperienced self back when he wore sweaters.
Lin Gantang looked up and helped him adjust his sweater and hat. Her fair and tender hands occasionally brushed against Wen Yanqingâs neck, and his gaze darkened.
âIt looks great. Let me go pick out a pair of pants for you,â Lin Gantang said with a smile.
Wen Yanqingâs gaze remained fixed on her.
The coupleâs intimacy caught the attention of the salesperson, who was now full of enthusiasm. Young love? Young love was great! She wasnât afraid to enjoy the benefits of their romantic spark!
The salesperson wore a beaming smile, showing all eight teeth. She was enthusiastic and said, âMiss is right. It would go well with a pair of casual pants. Additionally, we have some new shoes here. Would you like to take a look?â
Lin Gantang didnât buy any clothes for herself. Instead, she focused on selecting items for Wen Yanqing.
Afterward, she handed the clothes to Wen Yanqing and looked at him with satisfaction. âNow you look ready for the food street. Go ahead and put on the clothes. Just remember to wash the others before wearing them.â
Wen Yanqing was in a great mood. He lowered his gaze and noticed that half of her shoulder was exposed. His gaze darkened as he adjusted her neckline.
âThis is an off-shoulder outfit,â Lin Gantang said and pulled it down..
