"Okay, then you go inside and buy it. I'll wait for you outside, and I'll give you the money," Xu Xiuwen said, reaching into his pocket to give her the cash.
An Shishi looked at him with a smile in her beautiful eyes and coquettishly said, "Honey, accompany me inside."
The way An Shishi called him 'honey' was becoming more and more natural.
Xu Xiuwen's bones were almost melting from being called that way; he couldn't refuse.
Entering the women's clothing store, Xu Xiuwen felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, it was surrounded by various colorful women's clothes.
If he stared, he'd seem like a pervert, but avoiding looking wasn't easy either, given the surroundings.
An Shishi seemed oblivious to his discomfort.
She pulled Xu Xiuwen to a shelf and picked out a few pairs of women's shorts, all very sexy in style.
Holding them, she turned to ask Xu Xiuwen, "Honey, which one do you think looks good?"
His gaze lingered the longest on the lace thong in An Shishi's hand, but he said, "They all look good."
Xu Xiuwen's nerve wasn't thick enough to comment extensively on women's shorts in a store.
His gaze shifted to a nearby shelf, where he saw a pair of pure white cotton shorts, and he said to An Shishi, "Buy this one, cotton should be breathable."
An Shishi didn't even look at the white cotton shorts beside her. Instead, she intentionally picked up the thong Xu Xiuwen had been eyeing earlier and said with a smile, "I thought you liked this one the most."
She tiptoed to his ear, saying ambiguously, "I was even thinking, if you like it, I'll wear it for you tonight. Don't you really like it?"
Xu Xiuwen's eyebrows twitched at her words.
He looked away and said, "If you like it, then get one."
An Shishi chuckled.
Having browsed several stores before, An Shishi hadn't bought anything except a scarf.
But now, she picked several, all of them on the sexy side.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but say, "You're buying so many, will you even wear them all?"
It wasn't about being stingy; a few pairs of shorts wouldn't cost much.
He just felt it was unnecessary to buy so many.
An Shishi looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
Xu Xiuwen felt a bit embarrassed and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's buy them."
Later, An Shishi also bought some stockings and tops.
Xu Xiuwen hesitated for a moment but didn't stop her.
After paying and leaving the store, Xu Xiuwen was carrying a bag full of women's underwear and stockings.
Seeing this, An Shishi smiled gently but didn't offer to help him carry it.
An Shishi took the initiative, saying, "Honey, you've already bought me a lot of things. Let's go back."
Xu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "Wait, there are two more things I need to buy."
Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, then took An Shishi's hand and went to the Nokia store in the mall.
An Shishi had never owned a phone, and this fact had been on Xu Xiuwen's mind.
Once inside the store, Xu Xiuwen bought her a Nokia 7610.
Seeing the girl holding the phone, looking so happy that she was almost in tears, Xu Xiuwen felt a sense of accomplishment.
Isn't making money as a man just for spending on women?
But this wasn't enough.
After buying the phone, Xu Xiuwen took An Shishi to the adjacent Guipu computer store and bought her the latest model laptop, Guipu ze2202AP.
An Shishi thought the laptop was for Xu Xiuwen's own use, but after paying, Xu Xiuwen told her it was for her.
An Shishi was stunned.
Regaining her composure, she waved her hand and said, "Honey, I don't need a computer, you don't have to buy it for me, you can use it."
Xu Xiuwen said, "My dorm already has a desktop computer. Didn't you tell me before that you used your neighbouring dorm mate's computer to read my novels? With your own computer, you won't have to trouble others anymore. Plus, with a computer, you can chat with me on QQ every night."
An Shishi excitedly said, "I know QQ, it's a chatting app, right? Youran, Siyu, they all have QQ."
Xu Xiuwen nodded, "That's right. I also have a QQ account. When we get back, I'll help you set up the internet and apply for a QQ account so you can chat with me on QQ."
After hearing this, An Shishi no longer refused the computer.
She opened her arms and hugged Xu Xiuwen tightly, her voice choking with emotion, "Thank you, honey, you're so good to me."
Xu Xiuwen laughed, "You're my apprentice and my woman, who else should I be good to? Don't say such silly things in the future."
An Shishi turned her tears into smiles.
The Guipu computer cost 5999 yuan, and Xu Xiuwen paid for it, leaving not much of the twenty thousand yuan he withdrew earlier.
Exiting the computer store, Xu Xiuwen looked at An Shishi and asked, "Shishi, do you want to buy anything else?"
An Shishi shook her head, "Honey, you work hard to earn money, let's not buy anymore, okay?"
Xu Xiuwen also felt it was enough and agreed, "Alright, let's just buy these for now. I'll take you to get a card now, so you can call me anytime you miss me."
An Shishi smiled sweeter than flowers.
As the two were about to leave the mall, passing by a clothing store, An Shishi suddenly stopped.
Xu Xiuwen was about to ask her what was wrong.
But An Shishi suddenly grabbed his hand and walked into the store.
Inside the store, An Shishi headed straight for a windbreaker displayed on the wall.
It was a color-blocked windbreaker, with black and coffee colors patched together, very stylish and fashionable.
The collar of the windbreaker had a reversible design with double-sided dual-color collar, three rows of buttons, and a black belt around the waist, very chic and stylish.
An Shishi had just glanced at it from the entrance and immediately liked it.
Pointing to the windbreaker on the wall, An Shishi said, "Honey, I think you'll look handsome in this."
The female shop assistant in the store approached, seeing An Shishi seemed interested in the windbreaker, she immediately started introducing it.
An Shishi asked, "Can you find one for my honey to try on?"
"Sure." The female shop assistant glanced at Xu Xiuwen and went to the warehouse, quickly returning with a windbreaker identical to the one on the wall.
"Honey, could you try it on for me?" An Shishi asked in a coquettish tone.
Xu Xiuwen didn't brush off her enthusiasm, and agreed with a nod.
He put down his stuff, took off his jacket, and then took the coat handed to him by the shop assistant and put it on.
Xu Xiuwen turned a circle in front of An Shishi and asked, "How does it look?"
