On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Su Yuqing blushed deeply, but her eyes were filled with sweetness.

Chen Mo simply smiled, accepting the other party's good-natured teasing with equanimity.

We ate hot pot for a long time, from noon until after 2 p.m.

They talked about their studies, interesting anecdotes, and their imaginations about future university life.

The previous gatherings were just brief chats, but this time the conversation went much deeper.

Stepping out of the hot pot restaurant, the sun was shining brightly, and the autumn air was crisp and refreshing.

"It seems there aren't any unified arrangements for the afternoon?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes, each class might have a small class meeting in the evening, and there will be free time during the day." Li Zhe checked the freshman schedule on his phone.

"How about we go for a walk outside the school? It was too hot and humid yesterday, so we didn't have a chance to go out of the school gates!" Zhou Yue immediately suggested, and the girls all agreed.

Wang Lan and Li Zhe said they needed to go back to their dorm to catch up on some sleep, while Shen Xinghe said he had an online work communication to handle.

Chen Mo looked at Su Yuqing, who nodded slightly. So Chen Mo said to his roommates, "Then I'll go shopping with them."

"Well, what a guy who values ​​women over friends," Wang Lan said, feigning a complaint and winking.

Chen Mo laughed and punched him lightly, then naturally walked to Su Yuqing's side.

The two groups parted ways at the intersection; the boys returned to Xingyuan Apartment, while the girls chattered as they walked out of the school.

Chen Mo followed beside them, listening to their cheerful chatter and looking at Su Yuqing's relaxed and happy profile. His mood was as bright and warm as the autumn sunshine.

His gaze fell on Su Yuqing, who was doubled over with laughter as Zhou Yue amused her.

With her around, the world is a better place.

The commercial street outside the school is not far from the school, only about a ten-minute walk away.

This area is even more crowded with shops than the commercial street inside the school, and there are far more people shopping here.

Besides the usual clothing stores, jewelry stores, milk tea shops, and snack stalls, there are also many unique shops catering to college students, such as murder mystery games, DIY workshops, and cat cafes.

"Wow! The clothes in this store look great!" Lin Xiaoxiao immediately took a liking to a women's clothing store with a very artistic decor.

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look!" Zhou Yue was always a woman of action, and she pulled Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhao Ya inside.

Su Yuqing's eyes were also drawn to a light purple dress in the shop window, and she hesitated slightly.

Chen Mo noticed her gaze and said softly, "If you like it, give it a try."

Su Yuqing glanced at him somewhat embarrassedly and whispered, "It looks quite expensive."

“Money is just an external thing. With a boyfriend like me, it’s not your place to spend money. I’m a very generous boyfriend, so don’t try to save money for me. Shopping is just about seeing what you want and then buying it, right? Don’t worry about these things,” Chen Mo said with a smile, naturally pushing her shoulder to catch up with the group.

Su Yuqing knew Chen Mo's thoughts and also knew that Chen Mo didn't care how she spent his money.

But she herself felt a little embarrassed.

Inside the store, the girls had already entered "battle mode".

Zhou Yue has a sharp eye and picks out clothes very quickly, soon carrying several pieces in her arms.

Lin Xiaoxiao has a lively style and prefers brightly colored clothes, while Zhao Ya prefers a simple and basic style. However, when they saw the prices of the clothes, they both immediately hesitated. "You don't need to look at the prices on the tags, they're fake. These are all counterfeit, and the actual price is only one-tenth of what's on the tag," Zhou Yue said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the people around were all stunned. They felt that the clothes were very stylish and well-made, and they really couldn't tell that they were counterfeit.

At this moment, Chen Mo couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yue again, and he suddenly realized why Zhou Yue had brought everyone in without hesitation.

Although he hadn't spent a very long time with Zhou Yue, Chen Mo had already gained a good understanding of her personality.

She may seem carefree, but she is actually thoughtful and considerate of others.

As a young lady from a wealthy family, she didn't care about the price of things, but her roommates came from relatively ordinary families. If they really went to luxury stores, they might not be able to afford it. Logically speaking, Zhou Yue should have deliberately avoided such stores.

This time, she pulled everyone in without a second thought, clearly having already figured out that everything inside was a fake.

At this moment, the shopkeeper smiled and looked at Zhou Yue, saying, "Young lady, you have a discerning eye. The counterfeit goods I sell here are already considered high-end, and you still managed to spot it."

"Because I have dozens of genuine sets of this brand at home." Zhou Yue smiled nonchalantly, took the counterfeit clothes, and went into the fitting room to try them on.

Su Yuqing heard that the replica was only one-tenth the price, so she no longer felt guilty about the light purple dress.

"Yuqing, this dress will definitely look good on you!" Seeing that Su Yuqing was only looking and not touching it, Chen Mo asked the shop assistant to bring a dress that fit Su Yuqing's size and stuffed it into Su Yuqing's hands, "Go try it on!"

Su Yuqing was pushed into the fitting room by them.

Chen Mo found a chair in a corner and sat down, waiting patiently.

He watched the girls excitedly choosing and comparing, occasionally exchanging opinions in hushed tones. This feeling was novel, a kind of peaceful warmth he had almost never experienced in his previous life.

The curtain of the fitting room was pulled back, and Su Yuqing walked out somewhat shyly.

The light purple dress seemed tailor-made for her, making her skin appear even whiter. The waistline was perfectly cinched, and the skirt length reached her knees, giving her a fresh and gentle look.

She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, and asked softly, "...How is it?"

"It's so beautiful!" Zhou Yue exclaimed first.

"My God, this is a fairy descending to earth!" Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed dramatically, as always.

Zhao Ya smiled and nodded: "It really suits you."

Even the shop assistant couldn't help but praise, "Young lady, this color and style make you look especially elegant."

Su Yuqing subconsciously looked at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with expectation and inquiry.

Chen Mo stood up, walked to her, and looked at her with gentle and focused eyes. As Su Yuqing became increasingly uneasy, he finally smiled and nodded seriously: "Very beautiful."

His affirmation made Su Yuqing happier than any other praise; her smile blossomed completely, like a flower in full bloom.

With everyone's encouragement and Chen Mo's support, Su Yuqing also bought the dress.

Zhou Yue and Lin Xiaoxiao also made some purchases, while Zhao Ya only bought a pair of simple small earrings.

After leaving the clothing store, the group browsed some boutiques, adding some small accessories to their outfits. When they passed a milk tea shop, they naturally each grabbed a cup of milk tea.

Su Yuqing wasn't planning on drinking it, worried about gaining weight, but Chen Mo laughed and said, "Drinking milk tea regularly isn't good for your health, but having it occasionally is fine. Besides, drinking something sweet will make you feel better." (End of Chapter)
