Li Mu said, "You sit here first, I'll go get the car and go with you to the mall to buy shoes."

Jiang Xiaoguo blushed slightly as she thought of a canvas shoe with most of its sole missing.

"Okay, thank you."

"Don't stand on ceremony with me."

Li Mu picked up the car, and the two went to a nearby shopping mall, to the shoe section.

Li Mu said, "Choose whatever you like."

Jiang Xiaoguo looked around and quickly selected her target.

She once made a wish list in college, and the first thing on the list was to get a permanent position.

The second is to become an outstanding graduate;

The third item was buying my first designer handbag;

In addition, I wrote five articles that garnered 100,000 views each;

Bringing my mother on a trip to Shenzhen;

Fall in love once;

Buy a pair of high heels that fit well;

Learn a musical instrument;

I went on a three-day party with my roommates;

Maintain your weight.

This list of wishes before graduating from university was only completed once: maintaining my weight and experiencing a breakup. None of the other wishes were fulfilled.

With graduation approaching, Jiang Xiaoguo took great care in completing this graduation checklist and put in a lot of effort.

Buying a pair of comfortable high heels was also part of her plan, and she had already chosen her target.

Previously, she was a little short of money, and the pair of high heels she had her eye on cost more than 1,200 yuan, so she couldn't bring herself to buy them.

Now that I've used up my budget for an iPhone to buy a Xiaomi phone, I finally have some extra money, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to buy some high heels and complete a wish list item.

After glancing at the dazzling array of shoes, she walked straight to the one she had already set her sights on: a pair of black high heels.

She took the high heels off the shoe rack, sat down to try them on, and found they fit perfectly. With a slight smile, she walked over to Li Mu in her black high heels.

"How about it?"

Li Mu nodded and smiled, "It's alright!"

Jiang Xiaoguo said, "What's wrong with calling it 'okay'? Doesn't it look good?"

Li Mu said, "They look good. Shall we walk around some more and pick out a couple more pairs?"

Jiang Xiaoguo shook her head and said, "No need. I've had my eye on these shoes for a while now. The price is just right for me. I can't afford anything more."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I never gave you any nice gifts when we were dating. Why don't you pick out two more pairs as compensation?"

Jiang Xiaoguo blushed slightly: "No way! Besides, this pair is fine. I haven't given you any gifts before."

Li Mu smiled and didn't mind: "Alright! The shoes are bought. It's still early today, let's look around some more."

No woman can resist shopping, "Okay!" Jiang Xiaoguo said happily.

The two strolled around the mall for a while, and Li Mu took the opportunity to put together two more outfits. Looking at Li Mu in his new clothes, mature, steady, and with an extraordinary temperament, Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes shone even brighter.

Li Mu said, "Why don't you try on two different outfits?"

Jiang Xiaoguo shook her head reluctantly: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

Li Mu said, "It's okay if you can't afford it. Try it on and mix and match. See what clothes suit you and it's good to broaden your horizons."

Jiang Xiaoguo was momentarily captivated by the dazzling array of women's clothing in the section. Already quite bold, she was further encouraged by Li Mu and confidently walked over.

Half an hour later, after trying on a blue dress and a thin slip dress, Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes lit up and she turned her attention to a beige women's blazer.

How's this suit?

Li Mu smiled and said, "You can try it on and see how it looks."

Jiang Xiaoguo thought so too. She took the suit and went into the dressing room. A few minutes later, she came out again, her demeanor completely changed.

She wore a well-fitting, off-white blazer over a white shirt, complemented by neat, short, ear-length hair, large eyes, a high nose, and cherry-like lips.

The only drawback is her height; she doesn't show off a tall, slender figure, but she has the advantage of being charming and cute.

She was originally thin and petite, looking clever and young. But after putting on a suit jacket, she suddenly exuded the air of a sophisticated career woman.

Compared to before, she has become much more mature and composed.

Li Mu nodded: "Not bad, much cooler than before."

Jiang Xiaoguo liked it very much, looking at herself in the mirror from left to right, but after seeing the price tag, she could only reluctantly take it off.

Seeing Li Mu acting as if nothing had happened, Jiang Xiaoguo felt a little annoyed. She had thought that since he saw how much she liked it, he would offer to give it to her.

Although Jiang Xiaoguo definitely wouldn't agree to accept it, there are two different feelings about giving it and not accepting it versus not giving it at all.

After trying on the suit jacket, Jiang Xiaoguo lost interest in trying on clothes. The two strolled around the mall for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Li Mu took Jiang Xiaoguo back to school.

Jiang Xiaoguo got out of the car in front of the school gate and watched Li Mu drive away. She felt a little disappointed, facing her ex-boyfriend who had become so outstanding after two years of not seeing him.

Jiang Xiaoguo did have fantasies of rekindling their past relationship. Seeing how good Li Mu's attitude was towards her, she assumed he also had such thoughts. However, after spending half a day together today, he didn't show any intention of taking things further.

This made Jiang Xiaoguo feel anxious and uncertain.

Today, the other party fulfilled a promise made several years ago to treat her to a big meal. Will they continue to be so enthusiastic and maintain contact with her in the future?

Jiang Xiaoguo was unaware that the other person's excellence made her insecure.

……

Back in the dormitory, Liang Shuang wasn't there; only Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao were present. Jiang Xiaoguo took a deep breath and cleared her mind of all distractions.

Curious, she asked, "Where's Liang Shuang? Isn't she in her dorm?"

Luo Yan raised her chin: "Let's go to the library."

After saying that, he said with a gossipy look, "You really saw Golf being intimate with other women."

Jiang Xiaoguo waved her phone: "Isn't there a video? I've already sent it to the group."

Luo Yan sighed, "It's just a little hard to believe that Chen Zhuo would cheat on Liang Shuang, who is so beautiful."

He shook his head and said, "But thinking about Liang Shuang's bad temper, who could stand it? It's not easy for Golf to have lasted this long."

Duan Jiabao said, "Yes! Look at Liang Shuang's temper, how many people can stand her? But, wasn't it said that she and Golf had a good relationship? They were showing affection this morning, how did this happen? Chen Zhuo was actually two-timing her."

Jiang Xiaoguo sighed and said, "Who says otherwise! What do you think we should do now? Should I tell Liang Shuang?"

Luo Yan said, "Xiao Guo, when did you become so concerned about Liang Shuang's affairs? She said those things about you this morning."

Jiang Xiaoguo sighed: "No, we are in the same dormitory after all. Although she has a bad temper and I hate her, I can't just watch her get scammed."

"I'm hesitant now about whether or not to tell her."

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said, "I think we should forget about it. Liang Shuang has such a bad temper. If you really tell her, it will probably lead to a tragedy!"

Duan Jiabao nodded in agreement: "Xiao Guo, I think we need to be careful about this matter. It would be best to find out Liang Shuang's attitude."

“If they have a good relationship and Liang Shuang deeply loves Chen Zhuo, what you said is tantamount to breaking them up directly, leaving no room for reconciliation.”

"If their relationship isn't working out, their public displays of affection are just for show. If you confront them directly, given Liang Shuang's bad temper, you won't get any credit for telling the truth."

Jiang Xiaoguo said, "Then what should I do? Should I tell her or not? I can't just watch Liang Shuang jump into the fire."

Luo Yan said, "The key is to figure out Liang Shuang's attitude."

"We can't let her be deceived by Chen Zhuo, but we also can't just kill her off without giving them a chance to recover."

"This is no easy task! Xiao Guo, you need to handle this carefully. It might be a thankless task, and Liang Shuang might even hate you one day."

Jiang Xiaoguo patted her head, starting to feel troubled. What was going on? She almost wished she hadn't seen anything.

That evening, Liang Shuang returned to her dormitory. Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a long time, still unable to figure out how to bring it up.

At this moment, Liang Shuang finished applying the face mask and checked the time.

"It's 10:30, turn off the lights!"

Upon hearing Liang Shuang's words, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, who were still not used to going to bed so early despite having adjusted for a few days, both looked at Jiang Xiaoguo. As the most quick-witted of the three and possessing such a big secret about Liang Shuang, she couldn't afford to back down now.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xiaoguo said:

"Liang Shuang, isn't turning off the lights at 10:30 too early? Which dorm is dark by this hour? Besides, if you want to sleep, just wear an eye mask and you can still get your beauty sleep, right? You can rest as you please, it won't bother us. After all, this is everyone's dorm."

Upon hearing this, Liang Shuang immediately sat up, staring directly at Jiang Xiaoguo with her large eyes, and said, "What you're saying is your reasoning, not mine."

"First of all, this complies with school regulations. Moreover, wearing an eye mask is not effective, and the light will inhibit the secretion of melatonin in my body. Less secretion will lower my immunity and increase my chances of getting cancer. Eleven o'clock at night is when melatonin secretion is at its peak, so I must go to bed at 10:30!"

Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated and said, "Then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Shuang interrupted him.

"Furthermore, I applied a face cream containing retinaldehyde today, so I must strictly avoid sunlight. Also, I..."

"Stop talking, I...I'll lock you up, I'll lock you up!" Jiang Xiaoguo quickly raised her hands in surrender.
