You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

"Su Qinghe".

Jiang Che called her name very seriously, his tone a little harsh.

Su Qinghe immediately quieted down and looked at him with pitiful, aggrieved eyes.

This left Jiang Che completely speechless. Why was this girl so stubborn?

Even though they're in such a terrible state, they still insist on being strong and refuse to accept other people's kindness.

Jiang Che felt a little helpless. He walked up to her, squatted down, and gently placed his palm on her shoulder.

"Su Qinghe, listen to me."

Jiang Che softened his voice and reasoned with her earnestly, "I'll buy you clothes, so don't feel guilty. Just consider it a gift between friends."

"If you really can't accept it, then consider it a loan from me, and you can pay me back when you have the money."

Jiang Che knew she was embarrassed, so he had to make up an excuse.

"Besides, you can't keep wearing this shirt all the time, can you? What if you need to go out? You agree, right?"

Su Qinghe kept her head down and didn't speak, and judging from her expression, she didn't seem to have any intention of giving in.

Jiang Che was getting a little anxious. Why wouldn't this girl give in?

"Please accept my help; it's nothing to me."

"Besides, since you're living in my house, I can't let you dress in rags, otherwise people will think I'm abusing you." Jiang Che tried to persuade her from another angle.

These words did have an effect; as soon as the words were spoken, Su Qinghe's body trembled.

She lifted her small face slightly, her eyes filled with worry, "Really?"

Su Qinghe thought that it didn't matter if she didn't have clothes to wear, but she absolutely couldn't let Jiang Che be implicated.

She would feel terrible if Jiang Che were to be pointed at and gossiped about because of her.

Seeing that Su Qinghe was finally showing signs of relenting, Jiang Che immediately nodded vigorously and increased the output power, "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"

Su Qinghe knew that she could not and should not cause Jiang Che any more trouble.

Even though she repeatedly rejected Jiang Che, he still insisted on being so good to her.

She... didn't want to refuse Jiang Che's kindness anymore.

Su Qinghe thought, let her be selfish just this once.

After a moment, the girl slowly nodded. "Then... thank you."

When Jiang Che heard the girl agree, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay, stop thanking me."

"Hurry up and drink your milk, we need to get ready to go out," he said, standing up.

Su Qinghe obediently held the milk cup and said, "Okay."

After she finished her milk, Jiang Che had already tidied up the table.

"Su Qinghe, you should wear this for now."

Before leaving, Jiang Che took out an old sweatshirt and a pair of old sweatpants from the closet and handed them to Su Qinghe to change into.

This sweatshirt is a bit small, and since sweatshirts are generally loose-fitting, it shouldn't fit her too well.

Su Qinghe took the clothes, held them in front of her and gently smelled them, as if the boy's fresh scent still lingered on them.

"it is good."

She went to the guest room to change her clothes, while Jiang Che waited in the living room.

After a while, Su Qinghe came out of the room, moving very slowly and carefully, as if afraid of getting her clothes dirty or damaged.

Jiang Che looked her up and down carefully. Although the hoodie was still a bit big, it looked much better overall.

After thinking for a moment, he gave his evaluation: "It looks great and makes you look especially cute."

Su Qinghe was suddenly flattered by Jiang Che's praise, and her cheeks and the tips of her ears turned slightly pink.

Jiang Che walked over and grabbed her wrist. "Let's go to the mall."

……

After leaving the residential area, Jiang Che called a ride-hailing car on the app, and the car quickly stopped in front of the two of them.

He helped Su Qinghe into the car, gave her the last four digits of her phone number, and then the car drove off with the two of them inside.

Su Qinghe sat in the back seat, clutching Jiang Che's clothes tightly, her body leaning against his shoulder, as if Jiang Che was her only support.

Jiang Che could clearly sense her nervousness, so he gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon."

Su Qinghe softly hummed in agreement, then tentatively rested her head gently on the boy's shoulder.

The moment they touched, Jiang Che's arm tensed for a second, but he didn't push her away.

Su Qinghe gently pursed her lips, then took advantage of the situation and rested her head on his shoulder with peace of mind, even nuzzling him gently, like a little girlfriend being affectionate.

Jiang Che's ears felt a little hot, so he turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.

It's currently the transition between autumn and winter, and the weather is unpredictable.

Sometimes it gets so cold it drops below zero, and other times it can reach temperatures in the teens.

Jiang Che silently planned in his mind that today he not only needed to buy Su Qinghe warm clothes, but also some little dresses and such, so that she could wear them when it was hot.

The car arrived at the mall quickly.

Today is Saturday, and the mall is crowded and noisy.

From the moment Su Qinghe got out of the car, her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her small hands gripped Jiang Che's arm tightly, and her big eyes looked around blankly and helplessly.

These noises interfered with her judgment, so for her, Jiang Che was now the only beacon that could guide her.

Jiang Che was well aware of this, so he simply let Su Qinghe link arms with him, making it easier for them to walk.

He led Su Qinghe into the mall.

The mall was very warm, which made Su Qinghe's cheeks flush slightly, making her look less pale and more vibrant.

Jiang Che led her directly up to the second floor.

The second floor is all women's clothing area. The area near the elevator is for dresses, and further in are the thick winter clothes.

So Jiang Che decided to start by browsing dress stores, and led Su Qinghe into one.

Upon seeing the two, the shop assistant immediately greeted them warmly, "Welcome! Which style would you like to see?"

Jiang Che stood there and looked around. He scratched his head, looking a little troubled.

He's a grown man, how could he possibly pick out a dress? And Su Qinghe is blind now, how is she supposed to choose one?

The sales assistant seemed to sense his predicament, so she proactively walked over, picked up a dress, and handed it to him with a smile, "Sir, this style is one of our best-selling items this season, and it suits your girlfriend's style perfectly. Would you like to try it on?"

Upon hearing the words "girlfriend," Su Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and her already flushed face turned even redder.

She waited anxiously for Jiang Che's response, but Jiang Che seemed oblivious to these details. He took the dress from the sales assistant, looked at it, and then stuffed it into her hands.

"Su Qinghe, what do you think of this dress? I think the fabric is alright."

Su Qinghe was still basking in the joy that Jiang Che hadn't denied that she was his girlfriend when she heard Jiang Che's words, and her body trembled violently.

She immediately waved her hands, saying, "No, thank you. I don't like wearing skirts."

Jiang Che was a little surprised. She didn't like wearing skirts?

I've seen her wear skirts before.

He remembered that she wore a beautiful white long dress at the opening ceremony of her first year of high school.

The gown, combined with the way she played the piano, made her look incredibly elegant.

Is it because I can't see it now that I don't like it?

Jiang Che had some doubts.

"Why don't you like it?" he asked curiously.

Su Qinghe lowered her head, racking her brains for a moment before coming up with a very lame excuse: "I... I don't look good in skirts."

None of the three people present believed him when he said that.

The sales assistant maintained her smiling demeanor and said, "Miss, you're too modest. I've worked here for five years, and this is the first time I've seen a customer as beautiful and with such a great figure as you!"

Jiang Che nodded in agreement, "Yes, Su Qinghe, you look beautiful in a dress."

"For example, the long dress you wore at the first-year high school opening ceremony was very elegant and suited you perfectly," Jiang Che said earnestly.

Su Qinghe clutched the hem of her clothes helplessly, not wanting to disappoint Jiang Che's kindness.

Jiang Che is so good to me, I can't keep refusing him.

After a moment, Su Qinghe mentally prepared herself, then looked up and gazed in Jiang Che's direction.

"Well... I'll give it a try," she said softly.

Jiang Che smiled again when he saw that she had agreed.

"Okay, I'll pick out a few for you."

Following the sales assistant's advice, Jiang Che began selecting dresses in the store.

He picked out a few simple dresses in elegant colors and handed them to Su Qinghe.

"Go try these on."

Su Qinghe took the clothes, touched the fabric, and then carefully walked into the fitting room.
