Chapter 196 Encounter
Chapter 196 Encounter
The two groups of people met unexpectedly in the busy department store. He Yuzhu took a look at the people around Xu Damao and knew what was going on, so he didn't go up to disturb them.
He just smiled and nodded to Xu Damao as a greeting. Then he turned around and left with Liu Xiuxiu.
Qin Jingru looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She turned to Xu Damao and asked, "Damo, do you know those two people?" There was a hint of inquiry in her voice.
Xu Damao replied casually: "I know them. They are from the same courtyard as us. The one is my good brother Sha Zhu, and the one next to him is his wife." After that, he took Qin Jingru's hand and walked towards the garment area with firm and powerful steps.
In the ready-to-wear area, Xu Damao picked out two coats at a glance. He glanced at Qin Jingru and had a rough estimate of her size.
He said directly to the salesperson: "Give me a red coat and a plaid coat, the size should be according to her figure." After that, he took out the bills from his pocket and handed them to the salesperson.
Qin Jingru was happy and distressed when she saw Xu Damao paying the money so readily. She scolded him coquettishly, "Why are you spending money so recklessly? If you buy cloth, you will have to make so many clothes."
Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru's slightly shy yet expectant expression, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: Although Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu are sisters, their personalities are really different.
Qin Huairu would do anything to achieve her goal, while Qin Jingru was more straightforward and honest. This kind of character made him feel more sincere and fond of Qin Jingru.
He smiled and handed the clothes the salesperson handed over to Qin Jingru, and said gently: "Okay, the money has been paid, you can wear it without worry. It can't be returned, just think of it as a gift from me."
His voice was full of doting, which made Qin Jingru's cheeks slightly flushed. She smiled sweetly, with happiness shining in her eyes.
Afterwards, Xu Damao took Qin Jingru's hand and walked towards the pastry area. They walked and talked, enjoying this rare shopping time.
On the other side of the department store, Liu Xiuxiu and He Yuzhu were carrying things out of the building. Liu Xiuxiu looked at the backs of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru leaving and said to He Yuzhu, "This Damao is quite good to his partner. I just saw them go directly to the garment area and bought a lot of things."
He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu with a hint of smile in his eyes. He asked, "Xiuxiu, are you pointing at me? I still have to work hard and not be outdone by others."
"Xiu Xiu, slow down!"
"Xiu Xiu, wait for me?"
"Xiu Xiu..."
Liu Xiuxiu noticed that everyone nearby was looking at her, so she stopped and waited for He Yuzhu. When he caught up with her, she whispered, "Can you please stop shouting? Don't you see that everyone is looking at us?"
"I know? But who told you not to wait for me?" He Yuzhu teased Liu Xiuxiu.
Liu Xiuxiu looked at He Yuzhu speechlessly, gave her a look, and followed the person away.
He Yuzhu knew that Liu Xiuxiu would really get annoyed if he kept making such a fuss, so he decided to quit and started to change the subject.
Liu Xiuxiu looked at He Yuzhu's serious expression, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She deliberately put on a stern face, but raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "Huh, you just talk nonsense."
After saying that, she gently broke free from He Yuzhu's hand and walked quickly forward, as if she wanted to teach He Yuzhu a little lesson.
He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu's back, and he quickly chased after her, keeping a certain distance, and shouted from behind:
"Xiu Xiu, slow down!"
"Xiu Xiu, wait for me!"
"Xiu Xiu..."
Finally, Liu Xiuxiu stopped, turned around, looked at He Yuzhu behind her, and sighed softly. She whispered, "Can you please stop shouting? Don't you see that everyone is looking at us?" There was a hint of blame and shyness in her voice.
He Yuzhu then realized that his behavior was indeed a bit excessive. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't notice it. Wasn't I afraid that you would ignore it?"
Liu Xiuxiu glanced at He Yuzhu speechlessly. She knew he was just trying to make her happy. She gave He Yuzhu a helpless look and motioned him to follow. The two began to chat about other topics.
"This young couple has such a great relationship!" said Passerby A
"Oh, I'm embarrassed to look at this, an old lady!" said an old lady. However, if she could restrain her eyes and suppress her smile, it would be more convincing.
"Look at that, her boyfriend, and then look at you, humph!" A young woman was getting angry at her boyfriend.
