The Beautiful Time With You

Observing Shi Yao’s gaze, Lin Jiage turned to the female shop assistant attending to them and pointed to the bracelet which Shi Yao was staring intently at and said, “May I take a closer look at that?”

“Of course, sir. Please give me a moment,” replied the shop assistant with an amiable smile. She walked up to the display cabinet and took out the bracelet.

At this moment, Shi Yao couldn’t help but glance at Lin Jiage.

Is he thinking the same thing as me—that the bracelet looks beautiful too?

Noticing her gaze, Lin Jiage leisurely moved his lips, speaking words that were contrary to what he believed, “I think that bracelet isn’t bad.”

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Lin Jiage’s fashion sense isn’t too bad after all!

Feeling a connection, Shi Yao nodded excitedly. “Isn’t it? Isn’t it? I think that it’s not bad too. Especially that strawberry over there, isn’t it cute?”

In the end, it really is just the strawberry charm that she’s interested in…

Lin Jiage calmly lowered his gaze to conceal the look of silent helplessness reflected in the depths of his eyes.

“Sir, this bracelet is one of our latest products that came in just this spring, and it was designed by our chief designer. It comes in a set with a necklace, earrings, anklets…” As she spoke, the shop assistant took out the other products one by one, not forgetting to promote them at the same time. “… The strawberry is often viewed as a symbol of romance, and its shape is extremely similar to a heart as well. For that reason, it’s also termed as the Fruit of Love. Therefore, the name of this set of accessories is Strawberry Love.”

Lin Jiage initially felt that he was going against his heart for saying that the bracelet was not bad, but after hearing the shop assistant’s statement, the bracelet mystically looked more and more satisfactory to him. Thus, he turned to Shi Yao and asked, “Which one do you think we should go with?”

Shi Yao initially thought that there would only be a single bracelet, but after watching the shop assistant take out a set of accessories, each with a strawberry charm attached… she suddenly didn’t know which one to choose.

Faced with Lin Jiage’s question, her eyes swiftly darted from accessory to accessory, but even after a long moment of hesitation, she still couldn’t give an answer. She eventually resorted to examining the price tags, and in view of Lin Jiage’s finances, she pointed to the cheapest anklet and spoke hesitantly, “This one?”

Taking in her entire reaction, Lin Jiage couldn’t help but remember the day of their physical education lesson, when Lu Benlai offered her a bag of drinks and asked her to pick one.

Back then, she also had on the same conflicted expression she’s making now… Did the price scare her this time around? She didn’t even ask whether she could only pick one like she did last time.

Since she’s being so hesitant, not knowing which one to pick or which one she likes better, isn’t it obvious what I have to do?

Lin Jiage didn’t reply to Shi Yao’s questioning look. Instead, he turned his gaze to the shop assistant and said, “Help me wrap up the entire set.”

Of course, the solution was to buy, buy, and buy! What else to do since Soft Bun likes them?

On the other hand, the shop assistant had managed to accomplish her monthly sales target quite easily. She responded with a delighted “I’ll have them wrapped up nicely for you!” and then led Lin Jiage away to settle the bill. Shi Yao was left standing dumbfounded on the spot, mentally calculating the amount of money that Lin Jiage just spent within a single minute.

As expected of the Lin Family! I could feast on whatever I wanted for several months with the amount Lin Jiage spent on his sister’s ‘simple’ gift!

But speaking of which, did Lin Jiage really get that much of an allowance every month? Is this how wealthy families raise their children?

…

After leaving the accessories store, Lin Jiage went to the men’s room.

While Shi Yao was waiting for Lin Jiage outside the bathroom, she caught sight of a familiar face.

She wasn’t really surprised to meet that familiar face here.

What did surprise her was the duo accompanying that familiar face.

Why would she be together with them?
