"I thought I was seeing things! It looks like the two of you are preparing for the summer holiday, huh? You're out shopping for clothes!" Miss Ji Yunyun said this while giving them an obviously conspicuous yet supposed-to-be-mysterious look. She spoke in a hushed tone as if whispering secrets, but Yan Fei who was standing far away could hear her clearly.
What Miss Ji referred to was, in fact, getting engaged.
In rural and suburban areas, whether it's through arranged introductions or love relationships, once you're ready to get engaged, both parties would go out shopping for clothes for each other. Once the clothes are exchanged, the engagement is considered half-done. Afterward, relatives and friends get together for a meal, all there's left would be for the parents of both parties to discuss other necessities, and then the engagement would be considered final.
