Chapter 1396 - 1411: Switching It Up
To cheer up the beauty, Lin Mu had to pretend to get excited, following Luo Aimiao around, shopping here, shopping there, going here, then there, and Lin Mu couldn’t even show a trace of impatience. Really, it’s like crying a river, poor beyond belief!
Fortunately, Luo Aimiao still had some conscience. After shopping, she asked Lin Mu if he was tired. Of course, Lin Mu couldn’t possibly say he was tired. Instead, he forced a smile and said he wasn’t, swallowing his grievances.
"Alright then." Luo Aimiao nodded, then pulled Lin Mu to continue aimlessly wandering, while Lin Mu lamented behind her.
"Hey girl, you’ve been to these two bed sheet shops twice already. If you’re going to buy, hurry up and buy it," Lin Mu said frustratedly. Luo Aimiao said she wanted to buy bed sheets. Fine, go to a bed sheet shop and buy them, but this girl checked out this shop, then that shop, then back to the first one again.
"I found out that the quality of bed sheets in these two shops is the same, but this shop is ten yuan cheaper than the other. So we’re coming here, and then I’ll haggle a bit, see if I can make it even cheaper." Luo Aimiao said to Lin Mu.
"Uh..." Lin Mu almost passed out after hearing Luo Aimiao’s explanation, "For ten yuan? Really? You walked two streets, which must be at least a kilometer apart, for ten yuan?"
Lin Mu was quite puzzled, not understanding how women thought. For ten yuan? Geez, I’d rather spend an extra ten yuan than make two trips, it’s exhausting!
"What do you know, isn’t ten yuan money? Ten yuan can buy several bottles of Coke. Saving a bit here and there, maybe I’ll save twenty yuan after bargaining," Luo Aimiao explained earnestly.
"Uh... okay, how about this, I’ll pay for you, can we not go there, please? It’s too far," Lin Mu looked at Luo Aimiao and said.
Luo Aimiao glared at Lin Mu seriously, "What, your money isn’t money?"
"Uh..." Lin Mu didn’t know how to respond to Luo Aimiao’s serious expression, so he remained silent.
"Let’s go, let’s go." Luo Aimiao pulled Lin Mu’s arm forward...
Finally having finished shopping for the bed sheets with the fiery beauty, Lin Mu felt liberated, and they went to a high-class elegant restaurant to grab a bite.
Lin Mu was almost starving by then, having run around silly on the streets, his stomach playing the tune of an empty fort strategy, so he started eating and drinking voraciously as soon as he sat down.
However, Luo Aimiao remained graceful, eating slowly and delicately, her demeanor quite serene, not matching her usually brazen demeanor. Even if she took forever, she didn’t eat much, no wonder she’s so slim! Yet, Lin Mu still liked girls a bit on the slender side; she was just perfect!
After the meal, Lin Mu felt the need to exercise. Of course, by exercise, he meant getting a room with Luo Aimiao! Having sweated the afternoon away, not getting a room felt like such a loss that it ached! Truly, no reward without effort!
"Hey girl, why don’t we get a room and rest for a bit? Shopping all afternoon has wiped me out. See, I’m feeling a bit drained, afraid I might suffer from... issues," Lin Mu said woefully.
"Oh, please! Just a little walk and you’re this worn out? Are you really that tired?" Luo Aimiao asked.
"Of course I’m tired, my legs are killing me!" Lin Mu put on a pitiful expression.
"Oh, then you should go home first. I’ll have my girlfriend accompany me shopping," Luo Aimiao said.
"Damn it, weren’t we supposed to get a room? Why is she backing out now?" Lin Mu said, frustrated. This is messing with my head! I just want to get a room, definitely don’t want to shop!
"I’m not tired. Getting a room costs money, and it’s better spent on shopping. Buying things is more practical," Luo Aimiao said.
"Uh..." Lin Mu almost fainted on the spot. This is just too much to handle!
Lin Mu realized getting a room seemed hopeless at this point. Was he destined to accompany this girl shopping all afternoon?
If they really continued shopping for another half-day, it might kill him! Lin Mu could hardly bear it, it was life-threatening!
"Dear God, please save this poor handsome guy!" Lin Mu cried out in his heart, there was no way he could shop all afternoon, it was torturous!
But if he didn’t shop, it seemed he couldn’t get a room either. He was tired inside, but not enough to go home, plus there were no girls at home, he’d just be even more frustrated!
Just then, Lin Mu’s phone rang. Checking the caller, Lin Mu’s heart was delighted to find it was a call from the beautiful teacher An Qi’Er.
"Hello, An Qi’Er." Lin Mu chuckled as he answered the call.
"Brother Lin, Xiao Xiao said you’ve returned to Wancheng?" An Qi’Er asked.
"Yeah, just got back to Wancheng, was thinking of visiting you, but I’ve been busy and didn’t have the chance," Lin Mu replied.
"That’s fine. By the way, Brother Lin, are you free this afternoon?" An Qi’Er asked.
"Of course I’m free, nothing going on," Lin Mu said.
"Then why don’t you come to our school? There’s a basketball game with our class involved, can you come and cheer for us?" An Qi’Er said.
Lin Mu thought for a moment, he really had nothing going on, and honestly, he hadn’t seen An Qi’Er for a long time. Lin Mu genuinely missed her. Besides, watching a basketball game was infinitely better than roaming the streets, so between walking the pavement and watching the game, Lin Mu chose to watch the game.
"Ahem, girl, I’ve got some business to take care of, though I really wanted to accompany you shopping this afternoon. Maybe next time I’ll really make it up to you!" Lin Mu said with a bright smile.
"Whatever, go take care of your business. I have a good girlfriend looking for me, she can accompany me just fine." Luo Aimiao waved her hand dismissively.
"Hey, sounds good, girl, come here, let me give you a kiss." Lin Mu smiled, then leaned down and kissed Luo Aimiao.
Leaving the restaurant, Lin Mu drove to the school, then called An Qi’Er from the car. As he arrived at the school gate, An Qi’Er’s figure appeared in front of Lin Mu.
She was still dressed plainly, in jeans, sneakers, and a ponytail. Despite the simple attire, she was a hundred times more stunning than those made-up women, an aura unmatched by anything.
