Chapter 166: Best Friends Outfit
TL: Etude
Couple outfits were not on Dong Wenhaos list of recommended items.
Although anything related to couples was usually popular among college students, couple outfits were an exception.
When every couple on campus wears identical outfits, it ironically becomes hard to tell who is paired with whom.
Besides, it was embarrassing enough to wear the same outfit as someone else, but doing so with your partner was even more awkward.
Handsome guys paired with beautiful girls fared better; they were like clothes hangers, able to give a completely different vibe even in similar outfits.
But for the less attractive half of a couple, it was embarrassingly tear-inducing.
Such resentment would inevitably be directed at the group-buying platform, so, pass.
Next up, a black, short Korean-style down jacket, model number FZ70513.
Manager Yue paused: If I remember correctly, this down jacket is for women.
Jiang Qin remained expressionless: I know, and I specifically want the womens version.
Alright, the store is just around the corner. Shall we head there now or keep looking?
As Yue Zhu spoke, she suddenly frowned and instinctively held onto a nearby advertising board, then quickly regained her smile as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Qin glanced at her, about to say something, but then realized the small hand in his pocket was gone.
Huh?
Where did my little rich lady go?
He looked around and saw Feng Nanshu had already run towards a couples specialty store, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Manager Yue, you sit here for a while, Ill go take a look.
Okay, go ahead.
Manager Yue found a chair to sit down, taking off her high heels and massaging her sore feet.
Wanzhong Mall was having a promotion recently. Besides advertising on Jiang Qins forum, they were also hosting an exhibition at the entrance, which had been ongoing for three days now.
As the marketing manager, Yue Zhu was the person in charge. She had been wearing high heels for three days straight at the event, and her feet were in agony.
But when Jiang Qin came, calling her directly, she couldnt just not show up.
Such is the unspeakable suffering of a corporate slave.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qin hurried to the entrance of the couples store, where he saw Feng Nanshu talking with a salesperson. After their conversation, they both looked towards him.
Your boyfriend has a good build; an XL should fit him. Our sizes are a bit generous.
The salesperson said this while picking out two pieces of clothing to show the young lady.
Unlike the pale blue ones on the shelf, the ones she brought out were white, a color Feng Nanshu preferred.
What are you doing, little rich lady? Jiang Qin asked knowingly.
Feng Nanshu lifted her beautiful eyes: Jiang Qin, lets buy a best friends outfit and wear it together.
What what outfit?
Best friends outfit.
Oh, so this is called a best friends outfit. But why is there a smaller one? A generation-gap friendship?
Jiang Qin pointed to the nearby parent-child section, where similar hoodies were hung, but the parent-child section also had a childs version, which looked cute on the plastic models, like a family going for a walk.
Among the three maybe one is a short friend.
Feng Nanshus eyelashes trembled slightly, maintaining a serious and aloof expression as she indulged in nonsensical talk.
Dont spout nonsense, lets go. Im not short of clothes to wear.
Jiang Qin reached for her hand.
Big brother, buy it.
Feng Nanshu obediently handed her hand to him but stood firm, her eyes pure and innocent, her face expressing her desire.
Half a month had passed, and Jiang Qin thought the little rich lady had long forgotten her trump card. But her unexpected request nearly drained him of his strength, leaving him feeling weak everywhere except his mouth.
Our couple outfits are really popular. You two are tall, which is why you can find your sizes here. The regular sizes are usually sold out, the salesperson said cheerfully.
Jiang Qin turned to Feng Nanshu: Did you hear what this sister just said it was?
Feng Nanshu, a bit sheepish but assertive, replied: She said its a best friends outfit, right?
Lets buy two then, Jiang Qin murmured, touching his nose.
The salespersons eyes lit up: Would you like to try them on? We have fitting rooms here.
Jiang Qin waved his hand: No need to try, just pack them up. If they dont fit, well come back to exchange.
Alright, please wait. Ill go to the back and prepare your invoice. Oh, and besides couple hoodies, we also have couple hats, shoes, gloves, and bags. Our main focus is on couple items. You might want to take a look.
The salesperson rattled off, using the word couple like a machine gun.
Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu stood motionless, as if they had automatically filtered out certain keywords, acting as if they hadnt heard the salespersons barrage about couples.
Wearing the same clothes isnt a big deal, right?
If the shoe fits, wear it. Love whoever you want.
After getting the items, Jiang Qin, pulling Feng Nanshu, exited through the back door and headed to the Korean womens clothing store across the street.
An hour later, Yue Zhus soreness had eased, but she was puzzled about where Jiang Qin had gone. Just as she was about to call him, she saw him pushing a cart piled high with merchandise.
Sorry, Manager Yue, I just wandered around and got lost. It took me an hour to find my way back.
Yue Zhu waved it off: The store you were looking for is just ahead. Ill take you there for the womens clothing.
Jiang Qin shook his head: No need, Ive finished choosing. Everything I need is in the cart.
Thats a lot. Well, how about this, Mr. Jiang, Ill have someone deliver it to the parking garage for you.
Manager Yue felt a bit taken advantage of but maintained her polite demeanor.
After all, in business, reciprocity is key. Even if they take a small loss this time, they could offset it in future advertising fees. No one loses too much.
But to her surprise, Jiang Qin refused her offer, insisting on paying. No amount of persuasion worked.
Manager Yue, your gift of an electric pot was a gesture of friendship, but I cant take advantage of that. I remember your kindness, but I still need to pay whats due.
Seeing him heading to the queue to pay, Yue Zhu was slightly taken aback: Mr. Jiang, really, you dont have to pay.
Jiang Qin smiled: Id rather pay. Im afraid you might not want me to visit again otherwise.
How could that be, Mr. Jiang? Youre quite the joker.
Oh, by the way, I saw these on my way here. Theyre supposed to make wearing high heels less painful. Im not sure if they work, but consider it a small gift.
Jiang Qin fished out a colorful pack of soft pads from the cart and handed them to Yue Zhu, then pushed his cart to pay.
Yue Zhu held the soft pad, stunned for a moment, before realizing that Jiang Qin had noticed her foot pain earlier.
His claim of getting lost was just an excuse to give her more time to rest.
As the marketing manager of Wanzhong Mall, Yue Zhu had hosted many clients, but this was the first time she felt a genuine warmth from the bottom of her heart. And it came from a college student, no less so pure, kind, and sincere.
Wait a minute, he didnt pay for this, did he?! Could this be the legendary borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?
Time swiftly moved to 2 PM.
Jiang Qin bid farewell to Yue Zhu, leaving Wanzhong Mall with the little rich lady and returning to Linchuan University.
After unloading the selected items from the car, Jiang Qin let everyone pick one to use for a while.
Hearing about free items, everyones interest was piqued. They picked one after another until it was Lu Feiyus turn, and only a pair of black stockings was left on the table.
??????
Boss, I cant really use this, can I?
Jiang Qin glanced at him: Why not? Dont you have legs?
Lu Feiyu turned pale: But these are for girls. Wearing these around campus will be social suicide!
Look at you, so ignorant. Stockings were originally invented for noble gentlemen to wear. It was shameful not to wear them if you werent noble or a gentleman.
Boss, youre more noble, you should wear them. Then you can share your experience with me. Its all the same.
Jiang Qin insisted he take them without being shy: If youre worried about being seen, wear them under long johns, wool pants, and trousers. Nobody will notice. For all you know, your strong and mighty roommate might secretly be wearing a pair himself.
Lu Feiyu felt his scalp tingle at the thought: Isnt that perverted?
Dong Wenhao patted his shoulder: If you dont want them, Ill swap with you.
I damn, Brother Dong, you like wearing stockings? Didnt see that coming!
No, I just dont like my item.
Dong Wenhao solemnly pulled out three lipsticks: The boss is right. Stockings can be hidden under pants, but what about wearing red lipstick? Isnt that even more bizarre?
Lu Feiyu took a deep breath: Fine, Ill wear the stockings.
The next evening, a post recommending good products went online. The title was provocative, blatantly recommending comfortable, warm, and fairy-like stockings for sisters. The post, with its beautiful writing and stunning pictures from various angles, attracted a lot of views.
The comments section quickly surpassed a thousand messages, most of them from burly men.
Brothers, learning fashion tips again?
Well written, write more, love it!
Lu Feiyu felt tainted, but when he glanced again at Dong Wenhaos red lips, he thought he had gone blind.
