Hear this life

Lu Shicheng couldn't find a second handkerchief, so he had to use his sleeve to wipe her tears.

Soon, the cuffs of his shirt were wet with her tears, and a small area of ​​the sleeves of his suit was also wet. He simply used the back of his hand to continue wiping her tears.

This kind of silent tolerance was a new comfort to Wen Tingli at this moment, and her tears became more and more uncontrollable.

It was more like venting rather than crying. I don’t know how long I cried, but I finally felt a little relieved. My crying became softer and softer, and gradually it turned into sobbing. Finally, after a long time, I let out a small whimper.

Finally I've cried enough.

But one of her hands was still holding onto Lu Shicheng's sleeve. After crying so bitterly, she felt completely exhausted. She didn't want to move, let alone talk. It wasn't until Lu Shicheng tried to gently pull his sleeve that she came to her senses.

His entire arm was numb from being held by her.

The key point is that his cuffs were so wet that they had to be wrung out.

Wen Tingli burst into laughter and quickly lifted her head from his shoulder. She didn't know a person could shed so many tears. She looked at his profile shyly. The way he twisted his sleeves seriously was indescribably funny, but she didn't want to cry and laugh at the same time. She just looked at him silently.

After Lu Shicheng adjusted his cuffs, he turned around and met Wen Tingli's gaze. There were tears in her eyes and she looked extremely aggrieved.

She felt uncomfortable, and he felt uncomfortable too. He looked at her for a while, then leaned towards her again.

Wen Tingli's heart trembled as she recalled the embarrassing scene that happened in the stairwell tonight. However, this time, Lu Shicheng did not help her pick the fake leaves on her head. Instead, he stroked the top of her head with great care.

Then, he carefully tucked the few strands of wet hair that had fallen on her cheeks behind her ears.

His eyes were gentler than the moonlight outside.

Wen Tingli's chest began to beat rapidly. At that moment he had indeed noticed her little thoughts.

Unfortunately, her hair was not very obedient. It fell back down after being tucked behind her ears. Lu Shicheng had probably never done such a thing before, so he felt a little helpless. He raised his eyes to look at her and stretched out his fingers to help her tidy up her hair again, but this time, his fingertips almost touched her cheek.

He paused there. In that short distance, she could almost feel the temperature of his fingertips. His eyes were so dark that they made her ears hot and her heart beat fast. For a moment, she thought he would kiss her, but perhaps she looked too nervous, making him think she was not ready yet, or perhaps he did not want to kiss her when she was sad. In the end, he restrained himself and withdrew his hand and sat back up.

She stole a glance at him. His breathing was a little rapid, and he turned his head to look out the window. After a while, he calmed down and looked back at her.

[Do you want to go somewhere else tonight? You are so tired, can I take you home? ]

That night, Wen Tingli was always upset about her slowness.

After Lu Shicheng sent her home, he was worried and stood by the roadside and watched her go up the stairs.

As she walked up the stairs, she turned her head to look at him, reluctant to take her eyes off him.

Lu Shicheng stood under a street lamp, and the light made his attire look extremely elegant and beautiful.

How stupid she must have been to not realize that Lu Shicheng dressed up so formally for this date, which was their first real date.

It's a pity she has messed up his clothes like that.

She wanted to laugh a little, but more of it was relief.

This crying seemed to have cleared away some obstacles between the two of them that had not been explained in the past. During the whole process, he did not express anything in words, but his actions gave her countless heartwarming comfort.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait for the next date. Fortunately, neither of them had anything to do tomorrow, Sunday, so he promised to come to see her early tomorrow morning.

***
As soon as Lu Shicheng arrived home, the steward came out to greet him and said, "Mr. Kuang and several doctors are waiting for you in the study."

Lu Shicheng nodded and wanted to go directly to the study, but he looked down at his wet sleeves and changed his mind and went back to his room to change his coat.

But as soon as he entered his bedroom, he fell headfirst onto the bed.

His mood has not completely calmed down until now. When he saw the business card of Meng Qiguang in her bag, he felt extremely upset.

But when she took the initiative to tell her the whole story, his heart seemed to be immersed in the sweetness of chocolate.

How could there be such a lovely girl in the world? Her every smile, her expression, her enthusiasm and sincerity all made him infatuated and unable to extricate himself.

It had been half an hour since he had separated from her, and he actually began to miss her again. Her clear and pleasant voice lingered in his ears, making him smile unconsciously with his eyes closed.

When she opened her eyes, even her shadow seemed to be reflected on the white ceiling.

Her eyes, shining with precious light, looked into his eyes from above.

He simply stretched out his arms and lay flat on the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. He was rarely so irrational, but now he just indulged himself in this state of mind, and heard Manager Xu say outside: "Master Cheng, the guests are here."

Lu Shicheng frowned slightly, and after a long while, he reluctantly got up and changed his clothes. When he went downstairs and entered the study, he saw Kuang Zhilin chatting with the guests.

Lewis was most familiar with Lu Shicheng, and he hurriedly stood up to introduce the two parties. "This is Mr. Lu Shicheng. This is Director Xie, a laryngologist, and this is Dr. Kailin, who is an expert in psychology and just returned from Hong Kong."

Lu Shicheng stepped forward and shook hands with each of them.

Dr. Kailin and Director Xie are both scholars with strong personalities. Normally, they are unwilling to visit dignitaries at their homes to treat them. This time, they made an exception and agreed to come to their homes for a private consultation because of the Lu family's long-term support for medical care and charity.

Dr. Karen was initially not happy about being invited to the Lu family late at night, even though Lu Shicheng had only one request.

【I want to speak.】

However, after just this one encounter, Dr. Karen put aside her prejudice. The young master of the Lu family was unusually gentle and steady, which made her feel good about him at first sight.

After sitting down, Dr. Kailin said seriously, "We have been discussing your condition these past two days. According to Dr. Louis, you spoke while you were in a coma last time, and your pronunciation was very clear. The examination results of Director Xie and Dr. Louis also prove that there is no organic lesion in your vocal organs. So we still tend to believe that your loss of voice is psychogenic, and treatment may have to start from the psychological factors."

Doctor Lewis asked Lu Shicheng, "Since you recovered from your illness last time, have you been unable to speak again, even when you were extremely happy, angry, or sad?"

Lu Shicheng lowered his eyes to look at his cuffs. He had experienced all these emotions tonight. The skin of his wrists still retained the touch of Wen Tingli's tears, but - no matter how deep the emotional ties were, he couldn't successfully utter a word.

He admitted that he was disappointed and shook his head in self-mockery.

"Maybe the stimulus isn't big enough," Dr. Kailin said, "or the sense of crisis isn't strong enough."

【Crisis?】 Lu Shicheng was a little curious.

"Your sudden loss of voice happened to happen when your parents had an accident. Last time, you suddenly talked in your sleep while you were in a coma. From these two experiences, I see a common factor: crisis. Perhaps your instinct can only be stimulated in a very urgent moment. You should know that you have always been able to speak, but this ability is now 'locked'."

After a pause, she added: "The last time I unlocked the lock, it was a coincidence. If I can purposefully induce you to unlock it again this time, maybe I can help you completely overcome your psychological barriers."

Kuang Zhilin said worriedly: "We can't let Mr. Lu go through danger again just to get treatment."

Director Xie shook his head and smiled, "It's not necessarily the same experience. The meaning of crisis is quite broad. It is not limited to physical dangers, but also refers to some major changes or challenges encountered mentally. To put it more broadly, it is not even limited to Mr. Lu himself, but can also refer to the people Mr. Lu cares about. We Chinese have a saying that goes, 'Care leads to confusion.' For people who value friendship and loyalty, danger to those around them can also cause great stimulation to them."

Kuang Zhilin looked thoughtful. Lu Shicheng glanced at him, wrote a line on the notebook and pushed it to Dr. Kailin.

[I am not afraid of danger, nor pain. As long as it can make me speak, I can try any strange method. But I have one request: all treatment measures can only be used on me. I don't want anyone around me to be involved in my treatment.]

A hint of guilt flashed across Kuang Zhilin's eyes, and he quickly drank a sip of tea to cover it up.

Dr. Kailin looked at Director Xie and said excitedly, "Mr. Lu's cooperation is great, but this case is rare after all, and it is very difficult to treat. Let's discuss it with several disciplines first, and then develop a specific diagnosis and treatment plan for you."

***
Wen Tingli slept until after eight o'clock.

I slept exceptionally well last night and felt refreshed when I woke up. I got up and looked in the mirror and saw that my lips were rosy and my teeth were white.

After washing up, she didn't even have time to eat breakfast. She opened the closet excitedly to choose clothes. After choosing left and right, she picked out a bud yellow long-sleeved cheongsam. This dress was made by her father last year using the only piece of French Chantilly lace fabric in the store and silk. It was her most expensive dress.

Seeing that the weather outside was a bit chilly, I found a pearl white sweater to match it, and prepared to wear pearl white leather shoes underneath.

Then she sat down at the desk, opened her precious pink enamel box, and put on the necklace.

As she was looking at herself happily in the mirror, Xiao Taozi jumped in like a fat frog, carrying a small cross-body bag.

"Where is Mrs. Zhou?" Wen Tingli asked casually.

"Buy vegetables. Oh, sister is going to take Xiao Taozi out to play!" Xiao Taozi clapped her hands and circled around the house excitedly.

Wen Tingli blushed and pulled Xiao Taozi to her knees to discuss with her.

"Sister has something to do today, can you let Sister Zhou take Xiao Taozi out to play?"

Xiao Taozi was stunned and then shook her head.

Wen Tingli bit her lip in embarrassment. What Xiao Taozi looked forward to most was Sunday, because only on this day could she spend more time with her sister.

However, she finished work so late last night, and in the end she and Lu Shicheng were only together for more than two hours. Perhaps for her and Lu Shicheng, they could only have a good date on Sundays.

The key point is that she and Lu Shicheng had already discussed it yesterday.

She pointed to the locked suitcase under the bed and tempted Xiao Taozi: "How about this, sister opens the treasure box and takes out some money for Xiao Taozi, and lets Sister Zhou take Xiao Taozi to buy new toys."

In the past, Xiao Taozi always saw her putting money into this box, so she simply taught Xiao Taozi a new word - "treasure box".

Today, Little Peach had no interest in the treasure box at all, and her little head was shaking like a rattle.

Wen Tingli was at a loss. At this moment, Mrs. Zhou came back with a basket of vegetables. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said, "Miss, Mr. Lu is downstairs."

Wen Tingli carefully discussed with Xiao Taozi again: "Sister is really busy today, next Sunday, next Sunday sister must take good care of Xiao Taozi, okay?"

"Woooooo!" Little Peach twisted her body and started crying.

***
Just as Lu Shicheng parked the car, he heard a child crying from inside the building. From the sound, it seemed to be coming from the window where Wen Tingli was that night.

He looked up curiously and saw the child crying loudly, which lasted for a long time and refused to stop.

After a while, Wen Tingli came out with Xiao Taozi. Xiao Taozi's nose was still red, and her left hand was tightly holding her sister's hand.

The two sisters were followed by Mrs. Zhou.

Wen Tingli walked straight up to Lu Shicheng and looked up at him, her expression funny and helpless, as if to say, "There's nothing I can do. I can't coax him."

Mrs. Zhou was even more amused: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Lu. Little Taozi insisted on following her sister out, but it doesn't matter, the child can be coaxed and she will be fine. You just go on your way, I will carry her upstairs later."

Xiao Taozi glared at Lu Shicheng with hostility.

Wen Tingli looked helpless, leaned over and gently warned her sister: "Xiao Taozi, this is very rude, have you forgotten that Mr. Lu taught you to read last time."

Lu Shicheng did not show any displeasure. He just squatted down and looked at Xiao Taozi curiously. Xiao Taozi's eyes followed his movements.

After looking at each other for a while, Lu Shicheng looked up at Wen Tingli with a smile. He didn't know that a child's eyes could contain so much vigilance and dissatisfaction.

He stood up, opened the car door, and asked Xiao Taozi to get in.

Little Taozi's eyes lit up and she immediately looked up at her sister excitedly.

Wen Tingli's face was already full of smiles. She lowered her eyes, took her sister's hand and got into the car.

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and hurriedly stuffed Xiao Taozi's small bag in from outside: "Listen to your sister outside and don't be rude to Mr. Lu like you did just now."

As soon as the car door was closed, Lu Shicheng and Wen Tingli looked at each other.

With Xiao Taozi around, they couldn't watch the movie. Lu Shicheng had no experience as to where children liked to play. He carefully observed Xiao Taozi for a while and asked Wen Tingli with his eyes.

Where are we going now?

Wen Tingli said shyly: "Why don't we go to the Great World Amusement Park?"

When Xiao Taozi heard the words "big world", she jumped in her seat with excitement. Wen Tingli tried to stop her with her eyes, but Lu Shicheng smiled and nodded to Xiao Taozi, and drove away from the alley where the Wen family lived. Xiao Taozi was very encouraged and clapped her hands and said, "Let's go, big world, let's go!"

Wen Tingli just smiled.

They soon arrived at the Great World. When they got off the car, they felt the sun was so bright that it was blinding. It had been autumn for quite some time, but the weather was still a bit hot and humid. Lu Shicheng parked the car, bought two ice creams at the entrance and handed one to Xiao Taozi.

Little Peach patted her belly with joy.

"You haven't said thank you yet." Wen Tingli reminded her sister.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Xiao Taozi no longer had any hostility towards Lu Shicheng.

Lu Shicheng handed another ice cream to Wen Tingli. Wen Tingli felt sweet in her heart, but she didn't dare to take a big bite after taking it in her hand. She was afraid of staining the cherry red lipstick on her lips.

The three of them walked in side by side.

"There will be more and more people here soon. You take Xiao Taozi and wait under the tree over there for a while. I'll go line up to buy tickets first." Wen Tingli pointed to the front and said to Lu Shicheng. She used to bring Xiao Taozi here often to play and was already quite familiar with the layout of the entire garden.

After saying that, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Shicheng. He glanced at the burly men and ruffians mixed in the queue.

[You take Xiao Taozi and wait for me here. I will go buy the tickets.]

Wen Tingli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said "hmm".

But after waiting for a long time without seeing Lu Shicheng come back, Wen Tingli couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have gone with Lu Shicheng. He probably had never been to the Great World before, and the queues alone were enough to make people dizzy.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, Wen Tingli had no choice but to take Xiao Taozi to the nearby store to buy soda. Suddenly, she saw a group of people coming up the path behind the store.

Several people who looked like managers surrounded Lu Shicheng eagerly.

"If we had known that Mr. Lu was coming to play today, we would have made some arrangements in advance..."

Because they were quite far away, the voices were a bit intermittent.

Lu Shicheng walked towards this side while listening. Several people wanted to follow him, but Lu Shicheng politely stopped them, and the managers stopped.

When he came over, Lu Shicheng was holding a few colorful bills in his hand.

Wen Tingli's eyes widened immediately. It turned out to be a long ticket for the Great World. This ticket allowed free entry to the Great World all year round, and there was no need to queue up for many facilities. In the first few years when the Great World opened, Xiu De's classmates from wealthy families tried every means to get long tickets through connections, but in the end they didn't get many. Lu Shicheng didn't explain where this thing came from, but just handed the long ticket to Wen Tingli.

Wen Tingli didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked up and saw sweat on Lu Shicheng's forehead, so she quickly handed the ice soda in her hand to Lu Shicheng.

"It's really hot, quench your thirst first."

Lu Shicheng took the soda and drank it, then lowered his head and saw Xiao Taozi waiting anxiously, so he pointed to the carousel over there.

【Let’s go. 】

Before Wen Tingli could answer, Xiao Taozi had already rushed out.

When they reached the entrance, Wen Tingli held her sister's hand tightly and walked inside, but she knew that Lu Shicheng would never be interested in this kind of game. When she turned around, she saw that Lu Shicheng was standing far away as expected. She could only hold back her smile and said to him, "Wait for us outside for a while."

After riding the carousel twice, Xiao Taozi had a great time and went to play the bumper cars excitedly. As usual, Lu Shicheng was not going to go in, but Xiao Taozi suddenly ran back and grabbed him.

"Together, sister, let's take Mr. Lu to play together."

"Mr. Lu doesn't like to play this."

Xiao Taozi's eyes widened. How could anyone not like to play bumper cars? She looked up at Lu Shicheng and clenched her little fist to encourage him, "Don't be afraid, bumper cars are fun."

Lu Shicheng was stunned. Everyone around him looked at them, some laughed quietly, and some talked in a low voice with good intentions.

"Little Peach!" Wen Tingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Lu Shicheng had already half-knelt down and clenched his fist towards Xiao Taozi.

【Okay, I’m not afraid. 】

In this way, Wen Tingli took Xiao Taozi in a bumper car, while Lu Shicheng sat in another.

Wen Tingli looked back at Lu Shicheng from time to time.

Lu Shicheng turned the steering wheel out of boredom, bumping it here and there.

It was the first time that Wen Tingli saw the word "bored" on Lu Shicheng's face.

She suppressed the urge to laugh and made a face at him.

Lu Shicheng raised his eyebrows and saw Xiao Taozi looking back at him frequently. He suddenly turned the car and crashed straight into the sisters' car.

Little Taozi was so amused that she cried out, "Sister, run, run."

"Run, run, run." Wen Tingli turned to the left as if she was very nervous.

"They are chasing us." Xiao Taozi looked behind her, her face flushed with anxiety, "Sister, this way, run."

Wen Tingli quickly turned to the other side, laughing as she turned.

Lu Shicheng was very good at playing, and after dodging a few times, Wen Tingli really felt excited. A few times, even though she had dodged, she was hit by Lu Shicheng's car. Every time this happened, not only would Xiao Taozi jump up like a little frog, but Wen Tingli herself would also shout with joy.

She was determined to hit Lu Shicheng with her car. She suddenly turned the car and aimed it at the side of Lu Shicheng's car. Xiao Taozi was so nervous that she clenched her fists again. "Sister, come on!"

However, as soon as Lu Shicheng stepped back, the car slid flexibly to the back.

Wen Tingli smiled and slapped the steering wheel: "Don't run, don't run."

Xiao Taozi followed her sister's example and patted the steering wheel. "Don't run."

Lu Shicheng smiled and let go of the steering wheel, lazily raising his hands on both sides. Wen Tingli's car finally hit the target successfully, and Xiao Taozi jumped up on her chair excitedly again.

They played for nearly two hours. Wen Tingli kept smiling the whole time, and her face was still red when she got off the car.

Lu Shicheng went to the western restaurant and bought them some jam, bread and milk for lunch, and the three decided to continue playing other things.

When passing by the bumper car area, Lu Shicheng suddenly glanced inside thoughtfully. Wen Tingli looked over and saw a short-haired lady in cheongsam sitting in one of the bumper cars.

Wen Tingli couldn't help but stare at the other person. For one thing, she rarely saw a single lady playing bumper cars alone, and having such fun and excitement.

Secondly, I feel that this person looks very familiar.

The most crucial point is that the middle-aged woman was also looking at her with great interest.

After taking a few glances, Wen Tingli suddenly remembered that she had seen this lady at Lu Shicheng's birthday party that night.

[Do you know her?] Lu Shicheng turned around and asked Wen Tingli with his eyes,

"No, do you know her? She was at the Lu family's dinner that night."

Lu Shicheng pondered. [I'll go back and check.]

"It's okay. I'll go back and ask Sister Huang." She could see that the man looked very kind, so Wen Tingli didn't take it too seriously. "I saw her talking to Sister Huang that night. Sister Huang must know her."

We played a lot of facilities in the afternoon. The most exciting one was a game called water gun, in which players shot at each other with water guns.

Lu Shicheng's shooting skills were accurate, and Wen Tingli's shooting skills were not bad either. They were not usually so crazy, and today they both played like children. Lu Shicheng was hit by Wen Tingli and Xiao Taozi's water guns in many places, and Wen Tingli's skirt was also wet. However, Xiao Taozi didn't get wet much because Lu Shicheng and Wen Tingli protected her.

When she came out, Wen Tingli was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. She looked up and saw that Lu Shicheng's hair and eyebrows were wet. She smiled and joked, "How many times did I shoot you?"

Lu Shicheng smiled and shook off the water drops on his forehead, then looked for a handkerchief to wipe his face. Wen Tingli took out her handkerchief and wanted to help him wipe it. At this moment, two children rushed over like a whirlwind, throwing mud at each other, and were about to hit Wen Tingli's back.

Lu Shicheng was quick to pull Wen Tingli behind him, but that didn't stop the child's mud from getting on her skirt.

A brand new yellow cheongsam was immediately stained with a large spot.

Wen Tingli cried out in panic. The two children ran away in fear when they saw that they had gotten into trouble.

Wen Tingli was both angry and anxious. It was her first time wearing it and it turned out like this.

Lu Shicheng pulled Wen Tingli in front of him and looked at her. Wen Tingli leaned over and wiped it hurriedly with a handkerchief, but it became dirtier and dirtier.

"What should I do?" From a distance it looked like it was covered in a large amount of "poop".

Lu Shicheng thought about it calmly and suddenly pointed forward.

[Wait for me over there, I'll drive over right away.]

After getting in the car, Wen Tingli couldn't help feeling a little depressed. She had made up her mind to have dinner with Lu Shicheng today. How could she walk around the street in this state? Lu Shicheng was probably going to take her home directly. It was only a little after four o'clock.

It was rare that she had such a good time today, so she didn't want the date to end so early.

Then I heard Xiao Taozi say to the window: "Baby."

Looking outside, we found that we had unknowingly driven to the Bund. In front of us was a quiet road with many foreign goods stores with crystal chandeliers. What Xiao Taozi was pointing at was the porcelain doll in the window of a high-end Western clothing store.

How did you get here?

Lu Shicheng parked the car at the corner of the street and got out to help Wen Tingli open the door.

Wen Tingli was confused and took Xiao Taozi out of the car. The clerk in the tailor shop could tell at a glance that Lu Shicheng was a rich man, and for the first time ever, he took the initiative to open the glass door and come out.

"Sir, Miss, our shop sells authentic Parisian goods. Come in and have a seat."

Lu Shicheng looked at Wen Tingli inquiringly.

[Why don't you change these dirty clothes first. ]

Wen Tingli was just stunned.

Lu Shicheng looked at the clothes in the window and thought for a moment.

[Don't like this one? Then try another one? ]

Wen Tingli shook her head and said with a smile: "I can't afford the clothes here."

Lu Shicheng lowered his eyebrows to look at her, took out the pen that Wen Tingli gave her from his jacket pocket, wrote a line of words and handed it to her.

[It happened suddenly, I'll help you pay for it today, can you treat me to a meal some other day? ]

Wen Tingli felt as if her heart was gently scratched by a feather.

So gentle and decent.

"I--"

“Wen Tingli!” A modern girl dressed in red suddenly ran out of the store. “It’s you! Hahahaha, what a coincidence! Come in quickly. I can’t decide which one to buy.”

It was Gao Xiaowen.

She came forward and pinched Xiao Taozi's face.

"Oh, who is this little one? It turns out to be our little Taozi. Come on, let Sister Gao give her a kiss."

Finally, she modestly greeted Lu Shicheng softly: "Mr. Lu."

Anyone who comes in front of Lu Shicheng will involuntarily become a lady, and Gao Xiaowen is no exception.

Lu Shicheng had no choice but to nod to Gao Xiaowen, and Gao Xiaowen dragged Wen Tingli and Xiao Taozi into the store without any explanation.

There was another familiar face inside, Dong Qinfang, the eldest daughter of Xinxin Department Store.

"Sister Qinfang!" Wen Tingli was overjoyed.

Dong Qinfang looked at Lu Shicheng and winked at Wen Tingli: "Come out and play?"

This sentence deliberately omitted the subject at the beginning, which made it more ambiguous. Wen Tingli coughed lightly: "Hmm."

Gao Xiaowen suddenly cried out in surprise: "What's wrong with your clothes? They look like you rolled in mud. Be careful not to dirty our skirts. Change them quickly!"

Lu Shicheng glanced sharply at the clerk who had been following him. The clerk understood and hurriedly invited Wen Tingli to the rows of clothes.

"Miss, please tell me your size and I will help you take the clothes to the fitting room."

Wen Tingli is still a little shy, and she hasn't decided whether to accept Lu Shicheng's feelings.

Gao Xiaowen pushed her inside and said, "Why are you standing there? Are you showing everyone the mud on your cheongsam? I think this dress is very suitable for you. Take it in and try it on. You can also help me take a look at this one."

The clerk brought in more than ten sets of clothes for Wen Tingli, including skirts and autumn dresses.

Every time Wen Tingli put on a dress, Gao Xiaowen and Dong Qinfang would praise her endlessly. No matter what style of clothes Wen Tingli wore, it would be eye-catching.

Lu Shicheng took Xiao Taozi to play in front of the window, looking back from time to time, sometimes just a quick glance, but more often, his eyes would linger on her for a while.

Wen Tingli had already made up her mind. After trying around, she finally picked out a very unique lily-colored dress.

When she came out to check out, she saw the clerk stuffing the skirts she had just tried on into a cloth bag one by one.

Wen Tingli said hurriedly: "You don't need to pack these, I only need this one."

The clerk smiled and said, "But Mr. Lu has already paid."

Dong Qinfang said, "Gao Xiaowen originally wanted to pay for your beige dress because she said it looked best on you, but Mr. Lu bought all of it."

Gao Xiaowen whispered to Wen Tingli, "You don't think they'll let you pay for it yourself, do you? How could a great Lu Shicheng do such a thing?"

Wen Tingli's face flushed. She didn't know how many banquets she would have to treat Lu Shicheng to.

She looked around awkwardly and suddenly realized that Lu Shicheng and Xiao Taozi were not in the store.

"Where is Xiao Taozi?" she asked hurriedly.

The clerk said, "Just now the little girl said she was hungry, so Mr. Lu might have taken her to the store across the street to buy food."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Taozi came in skipping and pulling Lu Shicheng's hand.

She was holding a lot of food in her arms, and her small cross-body bag was also stuffed full.

Lu Shicheng was holding a large box of chocolates for her.

"Sister, eat, eat." Xiao Taozi ran towards Wen Tingli.

Wen Tingli embarrassedly took Xiao Taozi into her arms and said, "No need to ask, these were all bought by Lu Shicheng."

Gao Xiaowen deliberately teased Xiao Taozi: "You bought so much food, we want to eat too, Xiao Taozi, will you give us some?"

This time, Xiao Taozi not only looked at her sister, but also at Lu Shicheng who had just paid. After getting permission, she generously distributed the chocolate in her bag to Gao Xiaowen and Dong Qinfang.

The three of them were laughing and joking over there. Wen Tingli looked up at Lu Shicheng, who was looking at her new clothes with his head lowered. She asked him, "Does it look good?" Lu Shicheng nodded to her, and Wen Tingli smiled.

Later, they parted ways with Mr. Gao in front of the dress shop.

After getting in the car, Wen Tingli naturally suggested to Lu Shicheng that they go to Kangle Restaurant for dinner.

"It's not far from here anyway." She said to Lu Shicheng, "I'll treat you."

Before he started the car, she half-closed her eyes and asked him softly, "Are you free tomorrow night?"
