I became a cannon fodder and watched the drama in the period novels.

Chapter 18 Pretending
Shen Feifei, who was doing high school homework at home, sneezed and wondered who was scolding her.

In the blink of an eye, midsummer is coming to an end with the turning of the month, and the hot temperature is gradually dissipating.

Shen Feifei stood up and looked at the big trees outside the window that were still lush in the sunlight. The leaves on them reflected spots of light. She changed her clothes and walked out of the room. After washing up, she went to the dining table to eat.

Chief Shen and Song Qingfei went home after exercising together. After washing their hands, they sat down to eat with everyone.

At the dining table, Duran looked at Shen Feifei's clothes and said, "It's almost autumn, Feifei doesn't have any thick clothes yet, and Yueru hasn't bought clothes for a long time. I'll take you to the mall to buy clothes during this week's break."

Shen Yueru's eyes flashed: "Mom, have you forgotten that you have to go to Uncle Hou's house for the rest of the week? Aunt Chen asked you to go shopping together."

"Oh, I almost forgot." Duran held his forehead with his hand, "Then how about this, Feifei will go shopping with us then."

"Mom, Aunt Chen didn't ask you to go shopping for clothes. This is not good." Shen Yueru acted coquettishly to stop her again.

Duran thought about it and it was true. That day was specifically to discuss Yueru's marriage, and they also had to buy some things for Yueru. It was really inappropriate for Feifei to go: "Then Feifei, Mom will give you money and tickets. You can go to the mall and buy it yourself, okay?"

Shen Feifei agreed with a smile. It was good that no one cared about her. She could buy whatever she wanted. At this time, Song Qingfei interrupted: "It just so happens that I have a day off tomorrow. Why don't I take Feifei to the mall?"

Du Lan was a little surprised, because Song Qingfei never liked shopping, and she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to accompany Feifei to buy clothes. She thought that Feifei was unfamiliar with the place and he might want to take care of Feifei, so she happily agreed.

After finishing the meal, Shen Yaoyang pouted and asked Song Qingfei unhappily: "Brother, why did you accompany her to buy clothes?"

"That's your second sister. She's a nice person. There were some misunderstandings between her and your eldest sister before. You, a child, shouldn't get involved."

After Song Qingfei finished educating Shen Yaoyang, he looked at the unhappy Shen Yueru and said, "You are sisters after all. I know you may not like her. If you don't like her, just ignore her. In the eyes of your brother and parents, you have always been our little princess. No one can change this. So don't always think about comparing yourself with others, okay?"

Song Qingfei's words made Shen Yueru feel much better. She was also confused. Her parents had always loved her and her brother was on her side. There was no need for her to compete with a guy who came back from the countryside.

After persuading Shen Yueru, it was getting late and everyone hurried to go to work and school.

Shen Feifei was left alone at home again. After Aunt Li finished her meal and washed the dishes, she went out to buy groceries.

Shen Feifei recalled the gossip on Song Qingfei's head that she had just seen at the dinner table, and knew why he wanted to accompany her to buy clothes tomorrow. He just wanted to ask for her help.

Humph, thinking of this, Shen Feifei made up her mind. She could help him, but it couldn't be for free. She had to give her some benefits anyway.

After dinner in the evening, Song Qingfei came to the next room and knocked on the door. Shen Feifei opened the door and let him in, asking knowingly: "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Song Qingfei didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Let's go to the mall together to buy you clothes tomorrow. I just happen to need your help with something."

He told her about asking Shen Feifei to pretend to be his girlfriend. Shen Feifei pretended to be in deep thought and spoke after a while: "It's okay to ask me for help, but what good will it do me?"

Song Qingfei was prepared: "Dad has bought you a house, it's already in your name. The house is located next to the main entrance of Jingcheng University, and there is a primary school and a middle school nearby, which completely meets your requirements.

The house is a two-story courtyard with a good layout and terrain, but it is a bit shabby and needs to be repaired. He plans to give you the house deed after you finish your exams.

I know some people who can help you tear down that house and rebuild it. Then it can be built the way you want it. How about that?
Of course, if you don't need it, you can ask for other benefits." After that, he waited for Shen Feifei's reply. Shen Feifei saw that the words on Song Qingfei's head were consistent with what he said, and thought that this was not bad.

Asking for money would make me seem too mercenary, and I don't know how much is appropriate. It would be better to rebuild the house for her. After all, even if I have money, I will have to spend a lot of effort to find people and prepare materials, and I also have to monitor the progress of the project.

Shen Feifei readily agreed: "Brother, you are so kind! Don't worry, your business is my business. I will definitely do my best tomorrow and complete the task perfectly."

Song Qingfei now knows Shen Feifei better. Even though she is so attentive now, if he hadn't promised her benefits and there was a carrot hanging in front of her, she would not bother to pay attention to him.

The next day, in the first shopping mall in Beijing, Shen Feifei looked at the clothes on the first floor and asked someone to help her get a brown cardigan to try on. After putting on the clothes, Shen Feifei asked Song Qingfei: "Brother, what do you think of this one?"

Song Qingfei had to admit that Shen Feifei had a good eye for choosing clothes. Every piece of clothing she picked out this morning was very pretty and suited her very well.

Song Qingfei looked at his watch and urged her: "It's very nice. I bought this one too. It's getting late, almost noon. We should go."

Shen Feifei changed her clothes and walked to the counter. The salesperson calculated the price of the clothes and said, "Two sweaters, three pairs of trousers, two skirts, and four shirts, a total of 90 yuan plus seven cloth coupons."

Song Qingfei didn't let Shen Feifei pay, he just took money out of his pocket and paid for it: "You haven't got a job yet, keep this money for your pocket money."

The saleswoman at the counter was a young girl who said to Shen Feifei enviously, "Your brother is so good to you."

She also took advantage of Song Qingfei's inattention to ask her if Song Qingfei had a boyfriend. Shen Feifei said she wasn't sure and couldn't handle it. She thought that this guy was too attractive and it would be troublesome. Now there was another person who was confused by him.

Shen Feifei followed Song Qingfei to the state-owned restaurant. As soon as they entered, they saw the girl sitting in the corner. Shen Feifei couldn't help but tease Song Qingfei: "She is so pretty, she is a good match for you, why don't you just give in."

Song Qingfei glanced at her and said, "Did you forget about your house? Be careful and don't let yourself be fooled."

After saying that, Song Qingfei took Shen Feifei's hand. He felt the soft and boneless little hand in his palm. He felt a little nervous for no reason, but his face was calm.

Shen Feifei was also stunned by being held by the hand, and felt the warmth of Song Qingfei's palm. His calm voice sounded above her head: "We have to pretend to be closer now."

These words were spoken to Shen Feifei, but it also seemed as if he was talking to himself.

Shen Feifei looked up at his serious expression and couldn't help wanting to tease him, so she tickled his palm with her little hand that was wrapped in hers.

This made Song Qingfei feel as if a warm current rushed to his head. He tried to calm himself down, but his red ears showed how turbulent his heart was.

He quickly pulled Shen Feifei to Hao Xiaofeng.

As soon as they came in, Hao Xiaofeng saw them and noticed at a glance that they were holding hands.

Hao Xiaofeng remembered that when he pretended to be Song Qingfei's boyfriend and was brought to the Shen and Qian families, he asked Song Qingfei whether they should hold hands when entering the ward. Song Qingfei said it was not necessary.

And now he appeared in front of her holding hands with another girl. The girl was very beautiful, with big blinking eyes. She called her Sister Xiaofeng, and when she smiled, she showed two dimples, which made her look even sweeter and more lovely.
