Chapter 198 They Bought Them All for Me
“Is this how girls buy clothes?”

"Probably so."

It's about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Luo and Zhao Rongjun sat on a bench in a women's clothing store, watching five girls walking in front of a dazzling array of clothes and choosing.

They have been sitting here for almost an hour.

Next to the bench were seven or eight bags containing their conquests.

They set out from the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School at noon and took the bus to Intime Department Store, where they went to buy clothes for their elders.

Zhao Rongjun picked out two down jackets, while Li Luo picked out one each for his grandparents and parents. It took less than half an hour in total.

And when they were done, it was time for the girls to go shopping.

"So can I leave first?" Zhao Rongjun asked in a low voice, "Anyway, they mainly came with you, so it won't matter if I leave, right?"

"You have the heart to leave me here to suffer alone?" Li Luo grabbed his neck and said, "This is also an opportunity for you to grow, don't waste it."

"Growing up?" Zhao Rongjun was speechless. "Isn't it just waiting here? It was almost like this when I accompanied my mom shopping before."

"You don't understand this, do you?" Li Luo shook his head. "Girls go shopping because they want a sense of satisfaction and identity. Watch carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Chanxi finally picked out a style of down jacket, walked over to Li Luo with two colors in his hands, and tried them out in front of him.

"Li Luo, does this look good?"

"It looks good." Li Luo nodded. "But I think the white one suits your temperament better, and the orange one is more suitable for you, senior."

"Really?" Xu Youyu on the side took the orange one from Ying Chanxi's hand and gestured twice in front of himself.

Ying Chanxi also took the white one and looked down: "Then should I try it?"

"Well, you can try." Li Luo stood up and walked over there, taking down two other down jackets from the hanger. "These are all white. I think you look particularly good in white clothes. You can try them."

"Oh." Ying Chanxi was a little happy and nodded immediately, "Then I'll try it, and you can see which one is better."

At this time, Xu Youyu asked Li Luo: "Does this really suit me?"

"It's suitable, but not particularly suitable." After watching Ying Chanxi change her clothes, Li Luo turned to Xu Youyu and said, "Senior, you look more elegant in warm-toned clothes, but this one looks a bit childish. You can try these two."

As he spoke, Li Luo took down three more down jackets from the hanger and handed them to Xu Youyu: "Would you like to try it on?"

"Oh, okay." Xu Youyu raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Luo a few more times with some surprise, then smiled and nodded, and went to change clothes.

Yan Zhusheng, who had not been very picky, suddenly appeared and asked Li Luo in his ear: "What about me?"

"You." Li Luo glanced at her and helped her pick one up, "This one."

"Why do I only have one?" Yan Zhusheng looked at the beige down jacket in his hand and asked puzzledly.

"You don't usually buy clothes, so you're easier to fool."

Among the five girls, only Yan Zhusheng has always lacked interest in shopping. It is obvious that she is a rare species who has no interest in shopping.

In Li Luo's memory, when she worked under Yan Zhusheng in her previous life, she always wore the same sets of clothes over and over again and rarely had new clothes.

Most of my attention is focused on enjoying the music and I don't care much about my clothes and appearance.

Of course, with her exquisite face that looks like it was carved out, whatever she wears is just the icing on the cake.

Clothes like down jackets can perfectly cover her figure, so it doesn't matter what she wears.

"Shall we go to the store next door later?" Yan Zhusheng simply tried the size and after confirming that there was no problem, he asked the waiter to pack it up and then asked Li Luo.

"What kind of store is that next door?" Li Luo asked puzzledly.

"It's a men's clothing store." Yan Zhusheng looked at the scarf on Li Luo's neck, then looked away, "I want to buy you a piece of clothing as a New Year's gift."

"Hmm? What gift?" Ying Chanxi had just put on a down jacket and ran over to show it to Li Luo, when he heard Yan Zhusheng say, "What is Zhusheng going to do?"

"She wants to buy me some clothes." Li Luo said honestly.

"Oh, that's right." Ying Chanxi reacted at this time and looked at Li Luo, "You only bought clothes for the elders just now, and you didn't buy any for yourself, right?"

"My mother will buy it for me during the Chinese New Year." Li Luo said helplessly.

"That won't work." Ying Chanxi said immediately, "It's a rare opportunity for us to go shopping. After we finish shopping, I'll buy you one too."

"Then let me take a look at yours first." Li Luo waved his hand, helped Ying Chanxi look at the down jacket she was wearing, and then made a few suggestions.

After being busy for about twenty minutes, Li Luo finally got them to choose their clothes and asked the waiter to pack them up.

Zhao Rongjun admired the whole process and could not help but whisper to Li Luo in admiration: "I really can't learn from you. Aren't the clothes the same? How come you can talk so much?"

"You still have a lot to learn." Li Luo rolled his eyes and felt like his throat was about to smoke.

However, the girls were not done shopping, Ying Chanxi took Li Luo to the men's clothing store next door and helped him pick out clothes. In the end, Ying Chanxi bought a down jacket for Li Luo, Yan Zhusheng picked a sweater, and Xu Youyu helped him choose a pair of cotton pants, which was considered a complete set for him.

When they came out of the Intime Department Store building, Li Luo and Zhao Rongjun both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if I had finally seen the light again, as if I had been reborn.

"Then let's stop here for today. See you tomorrow." Li Luo checked the time. It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. "Be careful on your way back."

After saying goodbye to others at the intersection, Li Luo carried eight or nine large bags in each hand and walked home with Ying Chanxi.

Jincheng Community is not far from Intime Department Store, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there.

When they returned home with their bags, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong were already busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Putting the things in his hands on the ground, Li Luo came to the kitchen door and asked, "Do you need help?"

"Oh, you're back?" Lin Xiuhong glanced at Li Luo and nodded towards the sink, "Get a rag and clean the table outside."

"Okay." Li Luo nodded, picked up the rag and washed it.

"Oh, by the way, when are the final exams at your school?" Lin Xiuhong asked Li Luo while cooking.

"In another week," Li Luo responded. "There will be final exams from the 21st to the 23rd of this month, and then there will be another week of classes. At the end of the month, we will have winter vacation."

"Is that so?" Lin Xiuhong nodded, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Then after you finish your exams, I'll take you to buy some new clothes for the New Year."

"Uh..." Li Luo felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, "As for new clothes... I've already bought them."

"Bought? What did you buy?" Lin Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, put the freshly cooked dishes on the plate, and looked puzzled, "Did you buy clothes yourself?"

"Auntie Lin, I bought it for him." Ying Chanxi poked his head into the kitchen and said with a smile, "This afternoon, a few of my good friends and I went shopping at the mall and bought some clothes, so I bought him one too."

"You are such a jerk, kid." Lin Xiuhong laughed and said, "You are so expensive, even buying him clothes."

"It's okay." Ying Chanxi shook his head. "It's not a big deal. Li Luo has always taken good care of me at Bi Hai Lan Ting. I'm just buying a piece of clothing."

"Look at them." Lin Xiuhong walked out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand and pointed at Li Luo, "If you learn this, they will buy you new clothes. What about you?"

After saying that, Lin Xiuhong walked to the living room, put the plates on the dining table, and then saw a pile of bags at the door. She was stunned for a moment, "...What are you doing?"

"Ahem." Li Luo coughed twice beside him. "I also bought some clothes for you and dad, and some for grandparents."

The slap in the face came so quickly that Lin Xiuhong was a little slow to react.

She blinked, a little embarrassed, and whispered in Li Luo's ear: "You spend money recklessly now that you have it, right? How much does it cost to buy so many clothes? You don't know how to save money."

Li Luo: “…”

Okay, okay, you are always right, right?
Li Luo understood his mother's temper quite well, but he was too lazy to say anything to her. He just thought it was funny and laughed happily.

Li Guohong also poked his head out to look at the pile of clothes at the door, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I have some too?"

"Everything is available."

"You have a conscience, kid." Li Guohong laughed, "But it would be better if you could exchange it for cigarettes."

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him. "You smoke and drink all day long, and you don't know how to quit."

"I smoke a small amount, only half a pack a day." Li Guohong argued, "Others smoke two or three packs a day."

"You're still showing off, aren't you?"

The couple had a small quarrel, all about topics they had argued about countless times in their daily lives.

Soon, the food was served on the table.

After the family enjoyed the delicious meal, Ying Chanxi helped wash the dishes and then went back to the house opposite to review his homework.

Li Luo picked up the two bags at the door and handed them to Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong: "I bought these two for you. Check if they fit you. If not, you can return them and exchange them."

"Of the other four bags, these two are for my grandparents, and these two are for my grandparents. I have to go back to school tomorrow afternoon, so I don't have time to deliver them myself. Can you guys help me deliver them?"

"If it doesn't fit, take this note to the store and change the size."

Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong were both very happy at this time. They opened the packages and opened the new clothes in the bags.

Although she said that Li Luo didn't know how to save money, her son bought her new clothes. How could she not be happy as a mother? The corners of her mouth were raised to the sky.

But at this moment, Li Guohong discovered something.

"Li Luo, what about the remaining three bags?" Li Guohong asked curiously, "Xixi bought you three pieces of clothing?"

"Um... well..." Li Luo scratched his head, "This one was bought by Xixi, this one was given by Yan Zhusheng, and this pair of pants was bought by Xu Youyu."

After these words were spoken, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
