Chapter 306: Ye Qingbo is rejected
In stark contrast to the awkward and hesitant Lu Ye, Bai Zhi happily picked out two pairs of high-quality boxer shorts, two black and white vests, and two pairs of socks for Lu Ye. Then, she cheerfully carried the bags to find Lu Ye.
She was certain that Lu Ye would never have the nerve to buy women's underwear, after all, he knew that the style she was wearing was not a simple women's vest.
She was just joking with him, teasing him a little.
However, when she strolled over with the clothes she had bought for Lu Ye, she found him carrying the exact same bag as her.
"I bought it." He waved the bag in his hand, looking at her as if he wanted to show off.
Bai Zhi, "???"
Have they really become shameless?
Seeing Bai Zhi's surprised expression, as if she had lost a bet, Lu Ye smiled slightly and added, "The money has already been paid."
"Oh, how come you've suddenly become so shameless?" Bai Zhi took the bag and checked the clothes inside.
Upon seeing the bright red, sexy bra, her face instantly turned red.
It's definitely her style.
It's even sexier than the one she bought last time.
These are styles that we wouldn't dare display publicly; they're sold internally.
How could Lu Ye, a grown man, dare to buy this kind of clothing alone?
How could he possibly ask someone for help?
Ever since he got together with her, this guy has been like a character unleashed.
But Bai Zhi always felt that as a soldier, no matter how wild he was in private, he would never be so bold and unrestrained in public.
"Tell me, what's the story behind these clothes?" Bai Zhi questioned sternly. "How did you buy them?"
"The female teller helped me."
Lu Ye coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "The woman who introduced you to the underwear last time came over to ask if I needed any help, so I asked her to get me the most popular styles in the store, saying they were for my wedding. She brought me these two."
Upon hearing his explanation, Bai Zhi nodded in understanding. "No wonder. If you were to pick and choose for yourself, I would really have to re-evaluate you."
"Am I crazy?" Lu Ye stuffed the bags from the two of them into one bag and said in a low voice, "Little girl, you're not allowed to be so reckless in the future, giving me trouble."
He glanced at the clothes Bai Zhi had bought for him, a sweet feeling mixed with a hint of something else. "You can buy me underwear, but I have to be there."
"Why? Why are you making such a fuss? What's wrong with me buying underwear for my husband? Are people going to gossip about it?"
Bai Zhi's words immediately stunned the man's handsome face, and then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, "Wife, call me that again."
Bai Zhi, "!!!"
He looked at her with doting eyes, his tone coaxing, "Good girl, say it again."
"We'll call each other after the wedding; we haven't consummated our marriage yet."
Bai Zhi avoided his gaze, turned around and walked ahead, saying, "Go see if my sister has arrived yet, it's been so long."
Lu Ye caught up with her and took her hand. "No need to look. They'll come in when they arrive. Give them some time alone."
Bai Zhi thought about it and agreed.
However, what they didn't know was...
When Lu Shan arrived at the department store entrance on her motorcycle, she only saw Ye Qingbai waiting there.
When Ye Qingbai saw her coming, he quickly went to greet her, "Dr. Lu, you've arrived?"
Lu Shan looked around at the entrance of the department store and asked Ye Qingbai, "What are you doing here? Where are Lu Ye and Xiao Zhi?"
Ye Qingbo replied with a smile, "They've already gone inside. I was worried you wouldn't be able to find them, so I'm waiting for you here."
"Did the three of you come together?" Lu Shan asked.
"Yes, we came directly to the mall after taking our wedding photos."
Ye Qingbo's heart pounded as he was in such close proximity to the girl he admired. "I wanted to ask you to come over and help me look at some clothes."
He said, "Dr. Lu, you're usually so busy that you probably don't have much time to go shopping. Since you're here today, I'll buy you some clothes for the changing season. It's getting cold, you should buy some winter clothes."
"I have clothes, I don't need any."
Ye Qingbai didn't suggest that she come into the mall with him. He nervously scratched his head, pointed to the other side of the street, and tentatively suggested, "There are snack stalls over there, why don't we go grab something to eat first?"
"Or we could go for coffee."
“No need.” Lu Shan’s expression hardened slightly as she looked at Ye Qingbai and said, “Little Ye, I think I understand what you mean.”
Looking at the young man in front of her, who was both enthusiastic and cautious, Lu Shan hesitated for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and said,
"However, we are not suitable for each other. I hope you can give up any thoughts you shouldn't have. There is no future for us. Please don't waste your time on me."
Lu Shan's words made Ye Qingbai, who was still immersed in the excitement and nervousness of being alone with the goddess, suddenly feel a jolt in his mind.
He stared at her blankly, unable to react for a moment.
Was she rejecting him?
He hasn't even explicitly confessed his feelings yet, how can she just reject him like that?
Ye Qingbai was starting to lose his composure. "Dr. Lu, how do you know we won't succeed if you haven't even tried?"
He actively tried to win her over, quickly expressing his true feelings: "I genuinely like you. From the first time I saw you, I was deeply infatuated with you."
Ye Qingbai added urgently, "No, I already liked you when I first learned about you from other people."
"Comrade Xiao Ye, I'm not as outstanding as you imagine." Lu Shan looked at him with a cold expression and an indifferent tone. "I don't want to hold you back or hurt you. I hope you meet the right person soon."
Lu Shan didn't give him a chance to continue speaking, "Tell Lu Ye and Xiao Zhi that I have things to do at the hospital and need to work overtime, so I won't be able to help them choose clothes. I trust their taste and aesthetic sense."
After Lu Shan finished speaking, she got on her motorcycle, started the engine, and drove away.
Ye Qingbai stood at the entrance of the department store, watching the motorcycles that had already driven onto the road. He was stunned, and his once passionate heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom.
He felt as if all his strength had been drained, standing rooted to the spot, his feet feeling like lead, unable to lift them.
After a long while, he gave a bitter smile and slapped himself across the face.
"Ye Qingbai, you're useless. They won't even give you a chance to show off."
Lu Ye and Bai Zhi waited for them in the department store for a long time, but Lu Shan didn't come. The two of them had already picked out a wool coat and a red dress, and were just waiting for Lu Shan to come over and give them her opinion.
They couldn't wait any longer and came out to look for him. They saw Ye Qingbai standing there alone, looking lost and dejected, with empty and lifeless eyes. Something seemed very wrong with him.
Bai Zhi and Lu Ye exchanged a glance, then hurried over and asked with concern, "Cousin, what's wrong? Hasn't Dr. Lu arrived yet?"
Ye Qingbo came to his senses upon hearing Bai Zhi's voice. He forced a smile and said, "She left. She said she was going to work overtime at the hospital and told you to choose your own clothes. She trusts your taste."
"Oh, I see."
Bai Zhi looked at Ye Qingbai's distraught expression and felt that something was amiss.
