Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Eh?
Should we find a quiet place to continue?
Gu Wanqing was stunned for a moment. Although she kept her face buried in Lin Shen's arms, her ears, which were gradually turning red, showed that she was indeed considering this matter.

Moreover, what Lin Shen said was exactly the same as what she said at school last time!
The answer to the question is always "find a quiet place," and the answer to what to do is obvious.

This is clearly Brother Lin Shen teasing me!

Gu Wanqing felt a surge of resentment, but in the end she didn't say anything to refuse. Instead, she nestled her head in Lin Shen's arms and acted like a cute little kitten.

"Well, I don't know either... it's up to you, Brother Lin Shen."

"Forget it."

Lin Shen knew that Gu Wanqing tacitly approved of all his actions, but he also had his own principles for being a person.

Since we're here to shop, let's have fun!

As for kissing, there's plenty of time for that at night.

So Lin Shen stood up and smiled as he handed his right hand to Gu Wanqing.

"Shall we go and continue shopping?"

"..."

Gu Wanqing was somewhat reluctant to leave.

After all, he had finally mustered up the courage to secretly kiss Lin Shen in the mall, but he immediately gave up the opportunity.

Could it be that Brother Lin Shen saw through my shyness and was deliberately trying to take care of my feelings?
But if you really found a quiet corner and forcibly kissed me, I wouldn't refuse...

Brother Lin Shen is still too gentle!

Gu Wanqing thought to herself with delight, and then swept away her worries and offered her hand to Lin Shen.

"Brother Lin Shen, where are we going next?"

What kind of shops would you like to visit?

"Hmm... let's walk around and see."

Gu Wanqing took Lin Shen's arm and said with a smile.

"As long as I'm with Brother Lin Shen, I'm fine with shopping at any store."

"You..."

Even though Gu Wanqing had said these words many times, they still deeply touched Lin Shen's heart each time, and made him feel a strange sense of self-blame.

After all, dating such an innocent and naive girl, my scumbag behavior will inevitably hurt her.

Although she knew and accepted it, now it was Lin Shen's turn to find it hard to accept.

Fortunately, I've been good to Qingqing anyway.

Let's just say that merits and demerits cancel each other out.

So Lin Shen continued to stroll around the mall with Gu Wanqing, and then they came to a general merchandise store.

These are mostly small items used by girls, such as hair ties, hair clips, and keychains.

There are even some building blocks that boys like.

Lin Shen showed little interest in these items, while Gu Wanqing excitedly selected items carefully from the shelves.

She took off a flower-shaped hair clip, put it on her head, turned around, and asked Lin Shen for his opinion with a grin.

"Brother Lin Shen, is this pretty?"

"It looks good, but it doesn't suit you."

As a seasoned player in the dating game, Lin Shen knew very well that when a girl wore a new hair clip or hair tie and asked him about it, what she most wanted to hear was not a casual compliment, but a well-thought-out opinion.

Praise afterward is more effective than praise at the beginning.

So after browsing the shelves, he picked out a light-colored snowflake hair clip that matched Gu Wanqing's outfit today.

This complements her light gray top and white stockings on her beautiful legs perfectly, creating a very comfortable monochromatic look.

"This one is good."

After Lin Shen put the glove on Gu Wanqing, he pushed her to the full-length mirror.

After carefully examining them, she realized that Lin Shen's choice was indeed prettier than hers.

It's not that the hair clip itself is pretty, but rather that it goes well with my outfit today.

As expected, Brother Lin Shen has great taste in clothing!

Gu Wanqing turned around and smiled sweetly.

"It looks great! I think we should buy the one you picked, Brother Lin Shen."

"Ah."

Lin Shen nodded, then continued to act as her strategist, helping Gu Wanqing choose small items to dress herself up.

When they arrived at the hair tie shelf, Gu Wanqing originally just wanted to pick a hair tie to tie her high ponytail, but Lin Shen suddenly recommended two light-colored plush hair ties to her, which were shaped like rabbit ears.

"Why don't you try this pigtail hairstyle?"

Twin tails?
Gu Wanqing was momentarily stunned.

She had heard of this hairstyle, but she only wore it occasionally when she was in elementary school.

She never wore pigtails again after starting high school.

She felt the design was too childish, making her look like she hadn't grown up.

But since Brother Lin Shen recommended that I give it a try...

"it is good."

At Lin Shen's recommendation, Gu Wanqing took the fluffy hair tie he handed her and tried to style her hair into two high pigtails.

Because they are located on both sides of the head, the cat ears look as if they are growing on Gu Wanqing's head, making her look especially cute.

When Lin Shen saw the girl who had changed so much, his eyes lit up.

I told you my aesthetic sense is fine!

Gu Wanqing usually wears her hair down, or at most, she braids it into a high ponytail.

But now, when she changes to a double ponytail hairstyle, she looks especially cute and well-behaved.

Because her face is naturally small, she doesn't need a lot of hair to cover her sides.

The double ponytail gives a playful and lively feeling, which perfectly matches Gu Wanqing's sweet character.

In addition, this hairstyle is not suitable for most people; it is only suitable for cute girls with round faces.

Gu Wanqing is clearly one of those people.

However, she hadn't styled her hair in pigtails for a long time, so she seemed a little shy. She lowered her head and came to Lin Shen, smoothing her pigtails with both hands while asking quietly.

"Brother Lin Shen, is this pretty?"

"Too beautiful!"

Lin Shen couldn't help but step forward, cupped Gu Wanqing's face in his hands, and kissed her lips. Then he patted her head and chuckled softly.

"I'm serious, you look great in pigtails, why don't you wear them today?"

"Really?"

A glint of light flashed in Gu Wanqing's beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected that simply changing her hairstyle would earn her such high praise from him. Her heart, enveloped in sweetness, was filled with secret joy and happiness.

She jumped up and down happily, her twin ponytails bouncing up and down, looking extremely cheerful.

"Brother Lin Shen, if you like it, then I'll go with this hairstyle today."

"Ah."

Lin Shen smiled and then followed Gu Wanqing to the cashier to pay.

His gaze frequently swept over the girl who was a head taller than him, and a fiery feeling stirred within him.

Because twin tails look completely different from the front and the back.

A man might be attracted by Gu Wanqing's beauty from the front, but from behind, the way her high ponytail sways slightly as she walks will give him a strange sense of restlessness.

Online sources say that pigtails are the most suitable hairstyle for "driving".

Now it seems that it was indeed true.

Lin Shen's lips curled into a wicked smile. Unable to suppress his inner turmoil, he reached out and tugged at Gu Wanqing's pigtails from behind.

This made her instinctively fall backward into Lin Shen's warm embrace. Then she raised her flushed face, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of embarrassment and reproach, and she couldn't help but say coquettishly.

"Brother Lin Shen, why are you pulling my hair?" "Sorry."

Lin Shen wrapped his left arm around Gu Wanqing's slender waist and gently stroked her cheek with his right hand, kneading and pinching it, playing with it incessantly.

"You're so cute, I couldn't resist teasing you a little."

"Woooo..."

Gu Wanqing whimpered like a kitten, but she didn't dislike being treated like a toy by Lin Shen. In fact, she felt a little smug.

However, just as it was time to pay the bill, Gu Wanqing managed to break free from Lin Shen's embrace.

After all, they can be so intimate when no one is around, but Gu Wanqing is quite reserved when someone is watching.

However, just as Gu Wanqing was about to pay, Lin Shen gently grabbed her wrist and immediately pulled out the payment code he had prepared.

"I'll pay for it, as an apology."

"Eh?"

While Gu Wanqing was still in a daze, Lin Shen had already paid and left the general store with her.

Only then did she think to explain.

"Brother Lin Shen, I'm not blaming you! Why are you apologizing to me?"

Gu Wanqing pouted and looked at Lin Shen, whose expression showed slight surprise.

"You don't hate the way I treated you just now?"

"Of course I don't dislike it."

Gu Wanqing took Lin Shen's hand and rubbed her cheek against his palm like a cat.

Even Lin Shen could feel the burning heat emanating from her face, making her look especially adorable.

"Not uncomfortable, not annoying, even..."

Gu Wanqing blushed slightly, but didn't say the rest of her sentence.

Actually, when Lin Shen hugged her from behind and rubbed her face, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

Like a pet that has been pampered and cared for, she developed a stronger sense of dependence on Lin Shen than ever before.

This was a feeling Gu Wanqing had never experienced before.

Previously, her feelings for Lin Shen were more of admiration and respect.

But as they went on a date today and had more and more physical contact, Gu Wanqing gradually developed a sense of infatuation and admiration for him.

It even gradually evolved into submission...

Just like Lin Shen was using her cheeks as a toy, Gu Wanqing didn't even feel annoyed.

Skin touched by his gentle, large hands would feel an unprecedented burning sensation.

She even wanted to be touched more, and her legs felt weak.

Why is that?
Gu Wanqing was a little confused as to why she had this feeling.

After much thought, it's probably related to Lin Shen's actions.

Because when he touched his face just now, it didn't look like he was touching a lover at all; it looked more like he was petting a pet...

If Brother Lin Shen were to take care of me like a kitten, it might not be such a bad idea...

While pondering this in her mind, Gu Wanqing took Lin Shen's hand and continued towards the next store.

However, since Lin Shen had already bought her things, she also wanted to buy some for Lin Shen, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Brother Lin Shen, is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."

"You should keep your living expenses for yourself."

"no!"

Gu Wanqing felt that if she didn't do anything for Lin Shen, it would seem that the relationship between the two of them was too biased towards her.

I can't keep letting Brother Lin Shen take care of me, can I?

I have to be good to him too!

Gu Wanqing clung tightly to Lin Shen's arm and said coquettishly.

"I've been taken care of by Brother Lin Shen all day, it's my turn to 'take care' of you! Tell me quickly, Brother Lin Shen, is there anything you want me to do?"

What I want to do...

Lin Shen pretended to ponder for a while, but the things he wanted to do were indescribable.

The suggestion made to Gu Wanqing was a bit too much of a overreach.

Therefore, Lin Shen thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything he wanted Gu Wanqing to do, which made her pout even more.

"Brother Lin Shen, do you no longer need me?"

“I never said that.”

Lin Shen quickly explained, and then made a suggestion.

"How about I buy you clothes, and you wear them for me?"

what?
Lin Shen's words completely baffled Gu Wanqing.

What do you mean by buying clothes for me to wear?

Is this something I can do for Brother Lin Shen?
Gu Wanqing was a little confused, but Lin Shen explained.

"Just like the game Miracle Nikki that you girls like to play, when you wear the clothes I buy, it's actually a kind of reward for us guys."

"really?"

Gu Wanqing still couldn't quite understand.

"You guys are too easy to please. All you have to do is wear the clothes I bought for you, and that's still you paying for it, isn't it?"

"But we enjoyed it visually."

Lin Shen smiled and took Gu Wanqing's hand.

"Let's go to the clothing store, I'll pick out some clothes for you."

"okay."

Although she still couldn't understand Lin Shen's thoughts, Gu Wanqing felt that as long as Lin Shen liked it, she would do as he said.

So the two of them went into a Moxi women's clothing store.

It's a multi-brand fashion store, mainly featuring schoolgirl style clothing, and even includes some Lolita-style dresses, making it perfect for young girls to stroll around.

Therefore, when Gu Wanqing entered the store, she was immediately attracted by these extremely luxurious-looking dresses.

Wow! These dresses are all so pretty!

"Anyone want to try them on?"

"Um……"

Gu Wanqing looked around and felt that she should try them on, but she was too embarrassed to say so.

However, when she passed a full-length mirror used for changing clothes, Gu Wanqing suddenly stopped and tugged at Lin Shen's sleeve excitedly.

"Brother Lin Shen, let's take a picture!"

Photograph?

Lin Shen was stunned, while Gu Wanqing seemed quite interested in the matter.

After all, she was wearing such a cute dress and even put on white stockings, so Gu Wanqing naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to take pictures.

Moreover, when she flipped through the photo album, she found that she had almost no photos of herself and Lin Shen on her phone.

This made her a little disappointed, and she planned to take some good photos during her date today.

Especially in clothing stores, this is one of the best places for couples to take photos!

After all, it's convenient to have a mirror.

So Gu Wanqing pulled Lin Shen to the full-length mirror, held his arm tightly, rested her head on his upper arm, and took out her phone to take a selfie in the mirror.

She also playfully lifted her left leg, making her look especially adorable.

Seeing this, Lin Shen suddenly walked around behind Gu Wanqing and chuckled.

"How about you take a picture of me hugging you?" (End of Chapter)
