Chapter 226 Buying a Set of Clothes



Chapter 226 Buying a Set of Clothes

Ma Junjie was taken aback and subconsciously said...

"Give...to you?"

Li Xuemei widened her eyes and laughed.

"Brother Jie, what's wrong? You're still not willing?"

"What are you doing with a woman's pants, you grown man? Could it be that you...?"

Li Xuemei hesitated, looking at Ma Junjie with a half-smile.

Ma Junjie was speechless for a moment, and could only reply,

"Fine... I'll take it."

"I... I don't really have any use for it."

"That's right!" Li Xuemei chuckled.

I really like the two you chose.

"Brother Jie, consider this a gift from you."

Ma Junjie nodded and said...

"Okay, Xuemei, whatever you like."

"You've helped me so much in the past, I feel a little embarrassed to give you these little trinkets."

"Hahaha!" Li Xuemei burst into laughter.

"Enough! Enough!"

"Here you go, take this to the checkout!"

Li Xuemei stuffed two pairs of pants into Ma Junjie's hands.

Ma Junjie glanced at it, smiled faintly, picked up the item, turned around, and went to find the female sales clerk from before.

The female sales clerk was standing not far away.

She saw Ma Junjie walking over.

He glanced again, subconsciously, at Li Xuemei not far away, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Handsome, you got a really good deal here."

"You've got one, and you've got a girlfriend too!"

"She..." Ma Junjie blurted out, wanting to explain, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Li Xuemei was in the distance and didn't hear it; she also didn't know.

The sales clerk helped Ma Junjie pack his things and then said,

"Handsome, come on, let's settle the bill."

Ma Junjie followed her toward the exit.

At the cashier, Ma Junjie handed her 100 yuan, and the cashier gave him 1 yuan in change.

At this moment, the sales clerk handed two pre-packaged bags to Ma Junjie.

"Happy holiday, handsome! Have fun today!"

Looking at the saleswoman's smiling face, Ma Junjie suddenly felt that this female saleswoman was quite enthusiastic and provided very thoughtful service.

Ma Junjie was carrying things when Li Xuemei also came over.

Ma Junjie handed her the bag.

"Xuemei, here you go."

Li Xuemei, however, did not reach out to take it.

He simply said,

"Brother Jie, when you're shopping, there's no reason for a girl to carry things."

"Come on, let's continue exploring..."

Before Ma Junjie could react, Li Xuemei had already walked out with a smile.

Ma Junjie was indeed speechless.

He only now truly realized that Li Xuemei was a natural person.

When we first met, Li Xuemei was aloof and silent, giving off a very cold and distant vibe.

Now that we're familiar with each other, wow, they're incredibly proactive.

Ma Junjie thought to himself, "Li Xuemei is such a careless person."

Doesn't she even know what holiday it is? She expects me to go shopping with her!

Sigh, this girl, she's never been in a relationship before, she's just different!

Just as she was pondering this, Li Xuemei returned, somewhat annoyed.

"Brother Jie, what are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Li Xuemei puffed out her cheeks slightly and widened her eyes, looking just like a goldfish.

Ma Junjie could only laugh.

He sighed and replied.

"Alright, I'm coming, I'm here!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei said softly.

"Hmph, that's more like it!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Ma Junjie slowly followed, walking behind Li Xuemei.

Li Xuemei stopped and waited for Ma Junjie to catch up.

The two walked side by side like that.

Today is Qixi Festival, and it's also a weekend.

Countless migrant workers celebrated as if it were Chinese New Year.

Now, a narrow commercial street is almost completely packed with people.

People inside were wriggling around like sardines.

This was also the first time Ma Junjie had ever seen so many young men and women.

Moreover, it was the first time I had ever seen people hugging and kissing each other in the street, and touching each other all over, without caring about other people's opinions.

If this happened in the countryside, she would have been drowned in the spittle of the village aunties long ago.

Ma Junjie had actually been browsing around for quite a while, and many things had become rather boring.

In addition, it's very crowded outside.

So he said to Li Xuemei.

"Xuemei, I want to buy a new outfit. Will you come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei immediately responded with some excitement.

"Sure!"

"Brother Jie, do you remember when you first came to Xingda Toy Factory, I was the one who took you to buy clothes?"

Ma Junjie suddenly realized that Li Xuemei was right.

At that time, one of his clothes was torn in a fight, and he was also short of money and couldn't afford to buy expensive clothes.

Fortunately, Li Xuemei took her to a stall at the night market and she bought a t-shirt for fifteen yuan.

Thinking of this, Ma Junjie smiled.

"Xuemei, you'll have to work hard again today!"

Li Xuemei didn't seem to care and said...

"It's okay, I have the day off anyway."

"Let's go. I'm not very familiar with this area, but I do know where to buy cheap clothes."

"Come on, Brother Jie, come with me!"

As she spoke, Li Xuemei seemed rather impatient.

Some were even worried that Ma Junjie's slow walking would waste time.

She simply grabbed Ma Junjie's hand.

"Brother Jie, hurry up, don't waste time!"

"If you go too late, all the nice clothes will be gone."

"I... Xuemei... I want to..." Ma Junjie wanted to tell Li Xuemei.

This time, he doesn't want to buy cheap clothes; he wants to buy expensive ones.

But Li Xuemei was extremely enthusiastic and had already taken his hand.

Ma Junjie found it difficult to speak.

"Sigh, never mind, I'll go take a look first!"

After weaving through the crowd for about ten minutes, Li Xuemei finally stopped.

"Brother Jie, look, there's a clothing store here. They have lots of clothes, and the styles are really nice!"

Ma Junjie looked ahead.

Sure enough, I saw a very large shop.

The shop was densely packed with all kinds of clothes.

Some clothes were simply piled on the ground, and many people were rummaging through them, then trying them on.

Ma Junjie glanced at it and seemed somewhat reluctant to go in.

"Brother Jie, come on, there are plenty for you to choose from!"

"Look, they're having a promotion today! Buy three or more items and get a 10% discount!"

Seeing Li Xuemei's enthusiasm and excitement, Ma Junjie felt a little guilty.

But after thinking about it, I still think it's better to just talk to Li Xuemei directly.

He paused, then said,

"Xuemei, I'm not going in."

"Huh?" Li Xuemei's eyes widened.

"Xuemei, you know I recently changed jobs, and I want to buy a nice outfit to wear to work."

Li Xuemei had also heard from Pang Hu and some other people that Ma Junjie had left Xingda and gone to work elsewhere.

Hearing Ma Junjie say this, Li Xuemei's face showed embarrassment.

She smiled wryly.

"Hehe, Brother Jie, then... then I'm really sorry."

"I completely forgot, you're no longer a factory worker at the toy factory, nor are you the same guy who used to buy clothes from roadside stalls."

Ma Junjie shook his head.

"Xuemei, don't say that. I'm still the same person. I haven't changed. It's just that you know, sometimes you do need to dress nicely, otherwise people will look down on you."

Li Xuemei nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing her like that, Ma Junjie didn't say anything more.

He turned his head and looked around, and suddenly noticed a clothing store across the street. It looked like a wolf logo with a few small words written on it: Seven Wolves.

"Xuemei, come on, let's go inside and take a look!"
