Oatmeal milk…
Jiang Ran looked at that clump of barley tea, chose to scoop a mouthful with a spoon.
Though it didn’t look like much, it tasted surprisingly not bad.
“Any part of the taste you’re still not used to?”
Su Wanqing peeled an orange and placed it in Jiang Ran’s hand.
Jiang Ran held the orange with her small hand, the confusion in her eyes deepening.
“I think it’s fine.”
Jiang Ran didn’t really understand what Su Wanqing was worried about.
In her opinion, it was definitely fine, but Su Wanqing just wasn’t satisfied.
“You liking it is good. I’ve eaten here for a long time, gotten used to the flavors here, but I didn’t know if you’d be used to it or not.”
“I like it. And the environment here is really nice.”
Su Wanqing smiled.
“As long as you like it. We’ll go to the second floor after we finish eating.”
“Okay.”
Stirring the rice porridge with her spoon, Jiang Ran noticed Su Wanqing watching her out of the corner of her eye.
She didn’t really understand why Su Wanqing liked to do this so much, but she just pursed her lips and agreed.
She pondered this while thinking about another matter: what to do next.
“I’m done eating. Are you done?”
“I’m done. Let’s go.”
“Give me your hand?”
“Huh?”
Su Wanqing grabbed Jiang Ran’s hand, her grip unexpectedly strong.
“You’re squeezing me too tight.”
“Well, I’m afraid you’ll get lost, aren’t I? Let’s go.”
Su Wanqing pulled Jiang Ran to the second floor and started browsing among several clothing display cases.
In no time at all, Jiang Ran had acquired a jacket and a hat.
Su Wanqing even urged Jiang Ran to try on a skirt.
“Do I have to change too?”
Jiang Ran looked deadpan.
She actually wasn’t very fond of shopping, especially wearing women’s clothing.
These clothes always felt drafty.
“That’s right. You need to change your clothes. Your old clothes made you look like a high school student just standing there. You’re not a high school student anymore, so you need a different style to be appropriate.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Ran took the skirt and went to the inner area where there was a full-length mirror.
She examined herself in the mirror.
Her thighs felt completely bare, a sensation she had never experienced before.
Jiang Ran walked out of the fitting room and noticed Su Wanqing’s gaze directed at her.
“Not bad at all. This outfit seems to suit you quite well. Come on, let’s go buy the next piece of clothing.”
“Huh? We’re buying it just like that? Don’t you want to try more?”
Jiang Ran held Su Wanqing’s hand, her eyes full of reluctance.
“Why bother? If it fits, just buy it. You might need it sometime.”
Is… is this how rich people think?
This was Jiang Ran’s first time encountering someone like this.
She just found it so exaggerated.
“Time is the most important thing. Let’s go, don’t just stand here. There are so many people around.”
The two arrived at a new stall.
The selection of clothes here was no less than before, if not more.
“Come try these. These few school uniforms seem like they’d suit you too.”
Su Wanqing tossed over a few pieces of clothing.
They all looked quite new.
“These are the new styles. Go try them on.”
“So fast?”
Jiang Ran hadn’t expected to be told to try on clothes right away.
“Yeah, what else were you thinking?”
“Got it. I’ll go try them on.”
Jiang Ran took the clothes back to the fitting room.
This one was much larger than the last, and the fabric in her hand was much softer too.
Jiang Ran didn’t think too much about it; it just felt soft in her hand.
Outside, Su Wanqing asked a staff member for something suitable for herself and also entered a fitting room.
When Jiang Ran came out, she found Su Wanqing was gone.
After a moment, Su Wanqing emerged wearing the same outfit.
Seeing Su Wanqing come out, Jiang Ran was stunned because Su Wanqing was dressed almost identically to her.
“Why is your outfit the same as mine?”
Jiang Ran hadn’t expected Su Wanqing’s clothes to match hers.
“I was just trying it on in advance. If it looks good, I’ll buy one too. Jiang Ran, do you think it suits me?”
Jiang Ran looked at the other’s clothes, then compared them to her own.
She felt the other person looked much better.
She couldn’t pull off this outfit at all; Su Wanqing was far more suited to it.
“I think it looks very good on you.”
“Really? That’s good then.”
Su Wanqing smiled and turned around.
“Speaking of which, there’s something I haven’t told you yet. It seems we’ll probably be on stage together this time. You probably didn’t know, right?”
“Huh? When was this decided? No one told me at all.”
“Why would they tell you? We only found out internally.”
Jiang Ran looked at the other’s attire and still felt a bit of headache.
“I feel like standing next to you, you still look better.”
“Not at all. You have a certain presence. I think your aura isn’t any worse than what I feel.”
“Hmm, maybe.”
Jiang Ran thought of the times she’d seen Su Wanqing dressed up before and knew Su Wanqing was truly beautiful.
Su Wanqing was also thinking a lot at this moment.
She still felt she should buy more things that could form matching sets with Jiang Ran.
When they go on stage later, they’ll probably get photographed by a lot of people.
Of course, that’s all for later.
The prerequisite is that Jiang Ran is willing to wear them.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ran was absentmindedly looking at her phone.
She wasn’t very concerned about buying clothes.
In her spare time, she’d rather go clear her stamina in a mobile game.
After a while, Su Wanqing came out holding the receipts for the purchased clothes.
“All bought. These are for you.”
“Ah? I just tried them on. I didn’t say I wanted them yet.”
“Whether you want them or not can be decided later. You don’t have many clothes to begin with. Consider this supplementing your wardrobe. Don’t wear your old clothes to school anymore. Change into new ones more often.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Ran sighed and followed Su Wanqing.
After that, Su Wanqing’s shopping pace slowed down.
Instead, she started picking out a lot of extra accessories, like scarves and hats, and began giving them to Jiang Ran like crazy.
The two strolled down the street, their bags growing heavier and heavier.
Jiang Ran didn’t feel it was too much at all.
“Hehe, Jiang Ran, do you want to eat a roasted sweet potato?”
“Not really. I’m actually full. I’ve already made you spend a lot today.”
“Have you? The one thing I’m least short of is money. If you’re short on money, I can give you a card. You can swipe it as much as you want.”
“This… I… I’m not really short on money either. You don’t need to give me anything. Actually, I’m just frugal!”
It feels strange saying I’m frugal.
Jiang Ran thought this to herself.
Beside her, Su Wanqing said carelessly:
“Well then, if I give you the card, you can save money for me, to avoid places where money might be needed later.”
Jiang Ran bit her lip.
Actually, the card Su Nian had given her earlier was already enough to spend, even covering medical expenses without worry.
“No need. Actually, I have money. Look, my bank card is still here.”
Jiang Ran took out her bank card.
Su Wanqing looked at it and said,
“Huh? Why does your bank card look so much like the ones from my family?”
