043 Straight male aesthetic
An Ran’s mother’s birthday is Friday this week. Xia Kun and Lin Anran only have to pick gifts after school in the evening.
There are many boutique shops opposite the school, but women of their mothers cannot be very interested in the things of the little girl.
"What about your opinion?"
"I've thought about it all," said Xia Kun, "It's winter almost, and I'm going to buy a scarf for my aunt."
"Ah?! I said that if you asked you a while ago, you wouldn't say anything. You have already made up your mind and don't want to tell me, right?"
Xia Kun nodded, "If you use my ideas, I have to think of other ideas."
"What's there to hide? Isn't it just a scarf..." Lin Anran thought for a while, "But there are many special things for adults. My mother will look better with a plain scarf."
"Low-colored scarf..."
Xia Kun wrote down the key points mentioned by Lin Anran.
"Hey, you're plagiarizing ideas!"
Lin Anran reached out to grab the note written by Xia Kun. Of course, Xia Kun didn't let him succeed. The two of them were making trouble in the seat, which led to the management order of squad leader Ji Xiaoxuan.
"You two, be quiet during self-study time."
...
Xia Kun hid the note without blushing, and then lowered his head and started to write the questions; Lin Anran, who could not stand the misunderstanding of others, buried his head directly and couldn't get up.
"San Ran, go?"
After school at night, Lin Anran would walk with Zhu Li - although they were just around the corner of the school, they could indeed say a lot on the way.
"Well, I'm now..."
Lin Anran suddenly remembered that she wanted to buy gifts with Xia Kun, and she was immediately worried.
"You have to wait for someone tonight?"
Zhu Li's eyes were as sharp as a rookie. She could tell at first that Lin Anran seemed to have something to do. She was also quick and she kept throwing her eyes at Xia Kun. Lin Anran was about to explain, but she didn't expect Xia Kun to run away with her bag first.
Hello! This guy didn't agree to be together-
Lin Anran had no choice but to go down the slope and said that he was not waiting for anyone.
Walking with Zhu Li on the way home, Lin Anran kept looking around, hoping to find Xia Kun, but there were too many people coming out of school together at night. If you want to find Xia Kun in the crowd, it was almost no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Ask a question! I asked Lin, why did I have a full stomach?"
Lin Anran responded casually, "Because, because... Is it snack?"
"Wrong!" Juli held Lin Anran's arm, "because I have been eating someone's dog food since school!"
"ah?"
Lin Anran tilted her head, looking puzzled, "What, what does it mean?"
As he said that, Julie kept sticking on Lin Anran's arm and said, "When will you two get along? I won't bother you anymore."
"Don't talk nonsense! Xia Kun and I are just the same deskmate, don't think too much."
"Tsk tsk... people obviously didn't say it was Xia Kun."
Lin Anran immediately stopped talking, turned his head and murmured, "Julie, you plot against me..."
"Who made you a love brain? You are so beautiful... I didn't expect to fall in love with Xia Kun. Although that guy is not bad, he is obviously a straight man who doesn't understand the charm! Did he really fall in love over time... I didn't expect that even Xia Kun, the first straight man in our class, could not resist your temptation. You are such a great sinner."
"Okay, OK-"
Lin Anran has been dealing with gossip Zhu Li. When the two of them walked to the school gate to say goodbye, Lin Anran realized that she had lost Xia Kun - but just when she was looking around and was at a loss, she suddenly patted her shoulder from behind her.
"Let's go and pick gifts."
"Where did you come out?" Xia Kun's sudden appearance scared Lin Anran. She patted her chest and pushed Xia Kun hard, "How could you run away by yourself?"
"Don't you want to avoid suspicion?" Xia Kun asked in confusion, "You usually have to go home with Zhu Li, so it's not very embarrassing for me to be with you."
"Then we have no place to make an appointment, what if you don't find me?" Lin Anran was very angry with her face bulging.
"So I'm waiting at the school gate." Xia Kun said, "Sometimes I walk slowly. I often see you and Julie saying goodbye nearby, so I'm waiting for you here."
"Hmph... tell you, the suspicion of following me has not been cleared yet!" Lin Anran threw the schoolbag he was carrying to Xia Kun, and he naturally took it and carried it on his shoulders.
Lin Anran took Xia Kun to the Sandian Department Store at the intersection. The department stores sold here are based on the needs of men and women aged 15 to 33. There are many things and the prices are relatively affordable. An Ran and Xia Kun can choose from here, and the only thing they are worried about is meeting acquaintances.
"Listen, let's go in later, and then meet inside. Even if you meet an acquaintance, you can pretend that you just happened to meet. That's it, I'll go in first."
Xia Kun quietly watched Lin Anran walk into the Sanpian shop unnaturally, glanced at Lin Anran's shoulder bag he was carrying. After Lin Anran completely entered, he walked in slowly.
Sandian Department Store is a shopping mall that sells everything. Their product partitioning seems to be quite unruly to the general public. Now that the third year of high school is over, it is a small peak of customers, and there are crowds everywhere, which is tantamount to increasing the difficulty of meeting the two.
Lin Anran turned left and right, and the idea of meeting Xia Kun was gradually attracted by the dazzling array of products.
How long has it been since she visited the mall well... She has already remembered it very vaguely.
My father has been in a coma for more than three years. Since then, she has occasionally gone shopping by herself, but she has gone out shopping with her mother for a few times.
The last time I went shopping was during the Chinese New Year, and my uncle and aunt accompanied her to shop.
The sensible Lin Anran never took the initiative to beg her mother to buy clothes for her. As this was the most nervous time in her senior year, she didn't have the heart to think about anything else.
But the girl's love for beauty could not be stopped. Lin Anran stopped in the bracelet and jewelry section as she strolled around.
What attracted Lin Anran's attention the most was a cherry blossom bracelet.
This bracelet is made of sterling silver and is inlaid with seven diamonds, three of which are pink diamonds. The surroundings are decorated with transparent glass into the shape of cherry blossoms. The white diamonds and pink diamonds are connected by silver buckles, making them beautiful jewelry that makes people feel full of girlish hearts when they see them.
She stopped here for a long time and was reluctant to leave.
"Well, this really matches you."
Xia Kun's voice suddenly appeared behind Lin Anran, which scared her to scream "ah".
"Can you stop being elusive? It's scary."
"I didn't suddenly appear," Xia Kun said aggrievedly, "I have been standing behind you for a long time."
"Tsk..." Lin Anran glared at Xia Kun, "Let's go and pick gifts for mom."
"Don't worry, if you like this bracelet, just put it on and have a look." Xia Kun said.
"I don't like it very much, just, just..."
Lin Anran was weaving lies for himself, but Xia Kun took off the bracelet directly.
"Come on, try it."
"Then try it."
Lin Anran took the bracelet from Xia Kun's hand, wrapped the chain around his white and smooth left wrist, then gently buckled the silver chain with his right hand.
"Xia Kun, Xia Kun, do you think it looks good?" Lin Anran hung the cherry blossom bracelet in the air and admired it from different angles. She wanted to consult Xia Kun's opinion, but Xia Kun stopped on another bracelet and was not looking at her bracelet at all.
"Lin Anran, look, I think this one is very suitable for you."
"Didn't you just say this one matches me?"
"It doesn't feel good when worn. After all, it's a cheap domestic craft rhinestone, which looks quite cheap." Xia Kun took a bracelet and prepared to give Lin Anran a try. "If you want style, this one should be more suitable for you..."
"You still understand aesthetics, straight man." Lin Anran murmured and mocked, but his hands were honestly taken.
Xia Kun touched the back of his head and said helplessly, "I will express my personal opinion, you may not accept it."
"Then, is it so good-looking..."
"not bad."
"Why do you say those words when you praise me? When you hurt me, you will be very sarcastic?"
Xia Kun and Lin Anran visited the bracelet all night, and when they were about to close the door, they remembered the matter of picking birthday gifts. Just when Lin Anran was very upset, Xia Kun handed her the scarf.
"Take this to my aunt as a birthday gift, just treat it as you gave it."
"What do you do?"
"I'm fine," Xia Kun shook his head, "I thought about it and felt that I could easily misunderstand my scarf to my aunt."
"Then...thank you first, I will repay you another day." Lin Anran took the scarf, looked at the color, and got angry at that time, "Don't choose the white one! It's easy to get dirty-"
"Ah, isn't plain color just white? You said that your mother is more suitable for a plain color scarf."
