Chapter 2008: You Are You, One of a Kind

This question, however, added a touch of tenderness to Li Xingyan's voice: "Dressing more plainly will shorten the distance between Yangyang and me."

Li Xingyan was currently a bit desperate and clutching at straws.

Once he thought of an idea, he had to try it.

It was just that the method he had thought of this time...

Made Jiang Motian shake her head repeatedly as she listened.

Seeing this, Li Xingyan asked: "Is something wrong?"

"Changing clothes can shorten the distance? Brother, your logic is a bit ridiculous."

"Then you suggest a non-ridiculous idea."

Hmm...

Jiang Motian didn't have any ideas for the moment.

But there was one thing she had to remind Li Xingyan of: "Stop messing around, or you'll scare Yangyang."

Scare Wei Yangyang?

What kind of talk is that!

He wasn't wearing anything bizarre; he was just dressing more low-key, so how could that scare anyone?

Maybe Wei Yangyang would find it pleasing to the eye when she saw it!

Li Xingyan did not accept Jiang Motian's warning.

He only minded it more the more he thought about it.

Finally, Li Xingyan waved his hand outward and frowned, saying: "Nothing else, right? Then you go out; I have an online meeting to attend in a while, let's stop chatting."

"Are you... sure you want to stop chatting?"

"Yes, sure."

As Li Xingyan said this, he lowered his head and began to rummage through documents.

Jiang Motian didn't know if Li Xingyan was really looking for documents.

But it was true that he wanted to shoo her away!

Jiang Motian felt very depressed.

She felt that her good intentions had been trampled upon!

Since that was the case...

She couldn't be bothered to care anymore!

Jiang Motian turned and left.

And the moment she left, Li Xingyan stopped his rummaging.

Afterward, he walked to the wardrobe and looked at the clothes he had recently bought.

Would these... really scare Yangyang?

No, they wouldn't.

These were clearly very normal clothes.

When Yangyang saw them, she should find them approachable.

To verify this, Li Xingyan decided to find an excuse to meet with Wei Yangyang tomorrow.

As for what excuse...

Li Xingyan thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Wei Yangyang.

On the phone, Li Xingyan asked: "Are the health supplements for Father almost finished?"

"I remember there is one bottle left."

"It just so happens that I entrusted a friend to get a few more bottles; come with me to pick them up tomorrow."

"This... does it really require both of us?"

Wei Yangyang's implication was that she wanted Li Xingyan to go alone.

She felt that such a small matter wasn't worth wasting both of their time.

But Li Xingyan had finally found an opportunity to openly ask Wei Yangyang out, so how could he change his mind?

Li Xingyan just said: "Asking you to go together saves me from having to deliver them to you; this way, we both save time."

"... Alright then."

Li Xingyan was helping Wei Baba pick up the health supplements after all, so Wei Yangyang couldn't be too coy.

She agreed on a time and meeting place with Li Xingyan and hung up the phone.

As for when they met the next day...

Wei Yangyang was dumbfounded the moment she saw Li Xingyan.

This guy was actually wearing a plaid shirt and jeans.

He was wearing sneakers on his feet.

It really was... the standard programmer outfit!

Although it wasn't ugly, this wasn't Li Xingyan's usual style!

Wei Yangyang was full of suspicion.

Yet at a certain moment, she suddenly thought of Jiang Motian's warning...

Well, it really was quite surprising.

After Li Xingyan exchanged greetings with Wei Yangyang, he secretly observed her reaction.

Naturally, he also saw Wei Yangyang's surprised expression.

This made Li Xingyan feel a bit uneasy in his heart.

He asked calmly, "Do I look... strange today?"

Wei Yangyang shook her head and said, "Not at all, quite unique. But... why did you buy these clothes?"

"Just wanted to change my style and try something new."

"Oh."

Li Xingyan pursed his lips and, emboldened, asked, "Does it not look good?"

"You look good in anything, it's just... I feel this style doesn't really suit you."

Wei Yangyang did not understand why Li Xingyan wanted to dress like this.

But since a friend had asked, she still decided to speak her true thoughts.

Only, these true thoughts... made Li Xingyan feel a bit hurt.

The tone of his voice dropped a little: "Then what do you think I should wear?"

"Just the clothes you had before; your style of dress is already very mature, no need to keep changing it."

"Mm, I see."

Li Xingyan's mood became somewhat low.

Seeing this, Wei Yangyang hurriedly said, "Um, just take what I said earlier as casual talk; I'm someone who doesn't have much of an eye for aesthetics."

"How could that be? I think the advice you gave is quite good."

"But advice is just advice after all; as long as you like it, you don't need to care about other people's opinions!"

Li Xingyan certainly would not care about other people's opinions.

But if that person was Wei Yangyang...

Li Xingyan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then do you like it?"

Wei Yangyang didn't react for a second and asked, "Like what?"

"This style of dress."

Wei Yangyang originally wanted to answer the question truthfully.

But in a flash, she suddenly discovered something.

And this discovery made her tentatively ask, "You dressed like this... because of me?"

Suddenly being seen through, Li Xingyan felt extremely awkward.

However, he did not choose to evade, but instead murmured, "I thought you would like it."

This...

Wei Yangyang looked Li Xingyan up and down again.

She really wanted to find some redeeming quality to praise him for, to give him some confidence.

But she didn't find any redeeming qualities, and instead, Wei Yangyang laughed out loud.

This laughter made Li Xingyan even more awkward.

He sighed and asked, "Is it that funny?"

Wei Yangyang hurriedly reined in her smile and then shook her head.

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"It's just... looking at your back right now, I suddenly thought of several colleagues' names."

These colleagues are all tall and thin, and they love plaid shirts.

Wei Yangyang had even called them by the wrong names before.

If Li Xingyan were among them...

She was afraid she would call him by the wrong name again.

Thinking of this, Wei Yangyang wanted to laugh again.

Fortunately, she held it in this time.

Clearing her throat, Wei Yangyang continued, "But your previous back, I could tell it was you at a glance, and I would never associate you with anyone else."

"Why?"

"Because that version of you is one of a kind."

One of a kind...

Yes, he was unique to begin with, why bother trying to blend in with the crowd?

In this instant, Li Xingyan suddenly realized.

His depressed mood was also swept away.

He even took the initiative to say to Wei Yangyang, "Let's go, let's go pick up the things."

Wei Yangyang could feel that Li Xingyan's mood had suddenly improved.

But why did it improve?

Wei Yangyang did not know.

She followed Li Xingyan suspiciously to meet his friend.

The other person was a very talkative individual, and upon seeing Wei Yangyang, they wanted to chat with her for a while.

And incidentally, find out what the relationship between the two was.

Could Li Xingyan give the other person a chance to gossip?

With just a few words, he brushed them off.

Then he dragged Wei Yangyang away.
