Chapter 50: Three Couple's Outfits

Facing the expectant gazes of the two beauties, one big and one small—Tan Zhizhi's sweetness and Xie Silu's dazed cuteness—Yang Tianxing had no choice but to blurt out, "I really give up on you two."

Seeing Yang Tianxing obediently go to queue for ice cream, Tan Zhizhi smiled and high-fived Xie Silu.

Yay~

Yang Tianxing bought a family bucket for lunch while he was at it, and Tan Zhizhi asked from the side, "Where are we going this afternoon?"

"Staying right here in KFC is fine; it's crowded and packed outside."

Yang Tianxing was definitely unwilling to go shopping anymore, preferring to blow the air conditioning in KFC.

Tan Zhizhi ignored him and turned to look at Xie Silu: "Silu, shall we go shopping this afternoon? Big sister will buy you new clothes."

"Okay!" Xie Silu raised both hands in approval.

The voting result was 2 to 1, and Yang Tianxing had no choice but to continue his life of "three-fold companionship." While at Kaiyuan Mall, Tan Zhizhi took a fancy to a down jacket.

"This down jacket comes in men's and women's styles; how about we get one each?" Tan Zhizhi asked.

Yang Tianxing was not very willing: "I'm not short on clothes; you just buy your own."

Seeing a sale at hand, the saleswoman wouldn't give up and hurriedly advised: "A cold front is coming soon. By then, the whole city of Chang'an will be below ten degrees, and the temperature will be even lower in the morning and evening."

"Your girlfriend is so beautiful and has such a good figure. I've been selling clothes for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a fairy like this from a painting. If she puts on this down jacket, she'd be a fairy descending to earth."

"Besides, if you each buy one, it'll look like a couple's outfit when you go out. How well-matched you'd be."

The saleswoman grabbed onto Tan Zhizhi and showered her with compliments. Of course, the key was that Tan Zhizhi had a good foundation and could withstand the flattery.

"So a cold front is coming."

Yang Tianxing thought silently to himself.

For Tan Zhizhi, she was basically immune to being praised for her beauty, but being treated as a couple with Yang Tianxing in public made her feel both unaccustomed and inexplicably expectant.

Tan Zhizhi no longer hesitated; she nudged Yang Tianxing: "Which color do you think looks better?"

The saleswoman at Kaiyuan Mall was very polite and showed her professionalism at this moment: "You have a melon-seed face, your skin is tender and white, and your dimples are sweet when you smile. Light pink suits you best."

"What about him?"

Tan Zhizhi pointed at Yang Tianxing and asked.

"Black is fine for me."

Yang Tianxing said indifferently.

The saleswoman sized up Yang Tianxing and also agreed: "Your boyfriend looks very dashing in black."

"Then I'll go try on the clothes first; you keep an eye on Silu."

Tan Zhizhi took the light pink down jacket and walked toward the fitting room, while the saleswoman continued to chatter with praise: "Your girlfriend is truly prettier than a celebrity, and her temperament is so good..."

As he listened, Yang Tianxing suddenly interrupted: "Can you help ship the clothes here?"

The saleswoman was stunned for a moment: "It is possible, but you have to pay first."

"Paying is no problem."

Yang Tianxing coughed and said: "I think that royal blue one is also not bad. I want to buy another one in this size, but I want to do it quietly..."

"We understand. You intend to give your girlfriend a surprise, so you plan to keep it from her?"

The saleswoman reacted as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Uh..."

Yang Tianxing thought to himself, I hadn't even found an excuse yet, but you helped me round it off. He decisively nodded: "If you can talk like that in the future, say more of it. I think you'll definitely be a floor manager within three years."

"Oh, not at all."

The slightly plump saleswoman's face bloomed like a flower, and she followed up: "You're not very old but so romantic; whoever is your girlfriend is truly happy."

At this time, Tan Zhizhi came out after changing her clothes and asked somewhat shyly: "Xiao Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Tianxing looked over. The down jacket was indeed quite good; the cinched-waist style highlighted Tan Zhizhi's figure, and her fair face was set off by the light pink down jacket, looking delicate and charming.

"Oh my, this is truly a fairy descending to earth. The down jacket brand really should have you as their spokesperson."

The saleswoman hurriedly walked up to flatter her.

Tan Zhizhi didn't want to listen to the saleswoman and looked at Yang Tianxing.

Yang Tianxing said with a grin: "Pretty is pretty, and I also hope you're a fairy, not a spirit reincarnated from *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*."

"Hmph."

Tan Zhizhi raised her chin haughtily and returned to the fitting room to change so she could buy it.

"Let's pay."

Yang Tianxing turned to the saleswoman and said: "One black, one light pink, one royal blue. But the royal blue one needs to be mailed over."

The saleswoman sent an "I understand" look and nimbly went to the counter to issue the receipt for Yang Tianxing.

Tan Zhizhi had already changed and walked out. Finding that Yang Tianxing had already paid, she didn't say anything, only asking: "Do you want to try on the black one?"

"Are you in such a hurry to wear a couple's outfit with me?"

Yang Tianxing asked back with a cheeky grin.

"Whatever you want."

Tan Zhizhi spat, but the words "couple's outfit" really made her heart race.

They strolled through a few nearby malls in the afternoon. Tan Zhizhi even bought a pair of shoes for Xie Silu. By the time they sent the little chubby girl home and returned to school, it was already past 10 o'clock.

…………

Kaiyuan Mall's efficiency was quite good; the royal blue down jacket arrived in Yang Tianxing's hands three days later, and they actually used EMS express delivery.

Yang Tianxing took the down jacket to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory and called Liu Jiaoyue down. She was still wearing that loose, old school uniform.

Yang Tianxing wanted to touch the thickness of the fabric, but Liu Jiaoyue blushed and stepped back a few paces.

"What are you doing."

Yang Tianxing said with a stern face.

Liu Jiaoyue twisted her body slightly and whispered, "There are too many people."

Yang Tianxing smiled; Liu Jiaoyue must have thought he was going to do something bad, but he had things to do later, so he placed the down jacket directly into Liu Jiaoyue's hands: "A cold front is coming in the next two days, remember to wear this thick one."

"If I find out you aren't wearing it, then don't even think about attending class."

After saying this, Yang Tianxing left; Liu Jiaoyue couldn't even manage to decline in time.

This down jacket was from a big brand, the style was also very novel, and it didn't look cheap at all.

Liu Jiaoyue stood silently for a good while, then walked to the small shop downstairs: "Hello, do you have yarn for knitting scarves and gloves?"

…………

At the beginning of November, the cold front indeed arrived in Chang'an, the temperature at night dropped directly to around 7 degrees, the whistling wind already carried the chill of winter, and Yang Tianxing was huddled in his dormitory, not wanting to go out.

"Ring-a-ling."

His cell phone suddenly rang; the call was from Tan Zhizhi, and as soon as it connected, Tan Zhizhi said in surprise: "Little Yang, I discovered something very coincidental today."

"What is it?"

Yang Tianxing asked with a yawn.

"This afternoon I was buying things at the snack street by your school's north gate and saw a girl; she was actually wearing that same style of down jacket we bought at Kaiyuan Mall that day, though hers was royal blue."

Yang Tianxing was startled into a shiver, his sleepiness instantly gone, and he asked casually to probe: "She isn't as pretty as you, right?"

"She kept her head down the whole time so I didn't see her face clearly, but her figure was quite good; she certainly wouldn't be ugly."

Tan Zhizhi exhorted him earnestly over the phone: "Be careful at school, don't just walk around with others, otherwise it's very easy for people to mistake it for a couple's outfit."
