The word "special" was emphasized by Gu Xiuzhu. When she heard it in her ears, it seemed to have some hint.

Jiang Yingchu looked at Gu Xiuzhu with a cute face. She really didn't know what to do for a moment. The words "specially and deliberately" were always replaying in her mind, and with the voice he had just deliberately lowered, for a moment she even felt that this sentence could be used as a ringtone in her hand. If she changed a few words, she could answer the phone happily every day.

The two of them stood by the roadside, and there was inevitably a collision between people coming and going.

Just as she was about to speak, she was hit by someone who hurriedly walked by with an umbrella. When she shook her figure, Gu Xiuzhu reached out to hold her arm and whispered: "Get in inside first, it's raining heavily outside."

The rain outside is indeed getting heavier and heavier. It was a drizzling light rain before, but it was already a heavy rain like beans. The sound of beating on the umbrella can be heard clearly.

"good."

Gu Xiuzhu held an umbrella and protected Jiang Yingchu and walked into the mall.

There were many pedestrians at the entrance of the mall, who came to hide from the rain, and some even went to the streets directly. The door was very noisy, with various sounds repelling each other, and it was a bit noisy.

The two looked at each other, and Gu Xiuzhu slowly put away the large black umbrella in his hand. His slender fingers placed on the umbrella handle, which contrasted sharply with the black umbrella handle, which made Jiang Yingchu almost subconsciously look at his fingers. She thought in her heart that Gu Xiuzhu's hands must be very good at playing the piano.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yingchu was stunned, looked at him with a sense of consciousness, pursed his lips and asked, "Senior Gu, how do you know I'm here?"

After Gu Xiuzhu said it specifically, she felt a little strange. Gu Xiuzhu was not a person who spoke so straightforwardly, and his words probably had no other deep meaning. Since he met here because of a coincidence, he said that he came to find him specifically, then someone must have told him that he was here.

Jiang Yingchu thought about it and knew that there was no one else except Song Jiaxi.

She thought about it before she understood it. No wonder at the beginning, Song Jiaxi kept pestering herself to ask where she was. She was reluctant to say it at first, but she couldn't stand Song Jiaxi's information bombardment. After the man repeatedly promised that he just wanted to know his address, she directly gave him a position.

But she didn't expect Gu Xiuzhu to be associated with Xiaoqi.

Looking at her expression, Gu Xiuzhu almost knew what she was thinking. With a low smile, he explained: "I know Jiang Muchen."

"Ah?" It was her turn to be shocked.

Gu Xiuzhu handed her the umbrella, tidied up her cuffs before saying, "I met him when I was a child, but I haven't seen him for many years."

Jiang Yingchu: "...so he gave you the address?"

Gu Xiuzhu nodded: "He knew I was here today, and said that he had no time with your friend to come with you, so he asked me if I had time."

"Then you..." Before he could ask, he was interrupted by Gu Xiuzhu. He smiled and said softly: "Yes."

"Um?"

Looking at Jiang Yingchu's confused eyes, Gu Xiuzhu reached out to take the umbrella and whispered: "I have time to accompany you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yingchu's ear tips turned red. Her eyelashes were trembling slightly. There were too many thoughts flowing in the eyes and rolling. She looked at Gu Xiuzhu with her lips pursed. Just as she was about to ask if it would be delayed, Gu Xiuzhu looked at her sideways and whispered: "Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you?"

She paused, looked down at her toes, moved forward carefully, and said nervously, "But I'm going shopping."

“…”

——

In the mall, most of the underground first floor are places for eating, and many special foods are here. However, because the mall looks very high-end, there are also many big-name foods here. There are food selling and some brands of clothes on the first floor. The second floor is basically made of cosmetics and high-end products, and the third floor is even more so.

The mall is transparent and the lights are bright, and the sound of rain outside cannot be heard.

Jiang Yingchu occasionally glanced back at the person following her and then withdrew her gaze. She never expected that she would go shopping. Gu Xiuzhu didn't say anything and said lightly: "Then let's go."

As a result, the two of them went shopping in the mall one after another.

Jiang Yingchu wanted to buy gifts for Xu Yingru. She remembered that Xu Yingru mentioned a brand of skin care products some time ago, but she had no time to go shopping, so she wanted to buy them for Xu Yingru. Although her parents divorced, she sometimes complained and couldn't figure out why they wanted to divorce.

But things have happened for so many years, and she has accepted everything that cannot be accepted. It is meaningless to think about such things. Jiang Yingchu can do it well, so that both sides will not worry about themselves, and that one person can grow up healthily.

She took two steps, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at the skin care brand store next to her, she coughed and looked at Gu Xiuzhu: "Senior Gu."

"Hmm?" Gu Xiuzhu looked down at her, raised her eyes and looked at the shop where she stopped, and chuckled: "Do you want to go in?"

"I want to go in and buy something. Are you waiting for me outside?" She raised her eyes and stared at Gu Xiuzhu with wide eyes.

Gu Xiuzhu paused and asked softly: "Do you want me to go in or wait for you outside."

This problem has stumped Jiang Yingchu.

Based on her inner desire, she hoped that Gu Xiuzhu would accompany her in. But from another perspective, Gu Xiuzhu was not suitable for accompanying her in. The two were simply seniors and juniors. People who accompanied her shopping were usually couples or couples, and they... were not suitable.

She was stunned for a moment and whispered: "I'll come out soon."

Gu Xiuzhu looked at her appearance and knew that she could not be anxious. She agreed gently: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Yingchu turned around and walked quickly into the store. After she said what she wanted to the clerk, she quickly checked out. As soon as she came out, Jiang Yingchu couldn't help but look at the entire lipstick placed in front of the shop next to her. The desire that was pressing on her heart was a little impulsive.

There is a lipstick brand next to her that she had always wanted to buy, but she hadn't bought it. She saw it now and couldn't help but want to ask.

She looked up at Gu Xiuzhu who was looking down at her phone, and quietly moved her steps and walked towards the shop next to her. As soon as she passed by, the clerk came up with a smile and asked with a smile: "If you like, you can try your own color."

Jiang Yingchu nodded: "Thank you."

She thought about it, asked the color number she wanted, and then said softly: "Is there any?"

"have."

"Okay, then I'll take a look at the others." Her eyes were glowing, and she couldn't help but want to try other products. She couldn't buy one. Jiang Yingchu silently convinced herself in her heart that it was a New Year gift, and then she bought one for Xiaoqi and Shiyan, so she could buy a few more.

She occasionally looked back at Gu Xiuzhu and was still calling, so she felt relieved in an instant.

The clerk next to her smiled and introduced to her: "You have white skin, this color is very suitable. A very popular koi color is suitable for the New Year and the feeling of shiny golden light."

Jiang Yingchu smiled and tried it on the back of her hand, her eyes lit up: "It seems to be pretty good."

"Yes." The clerk asked softly: "Is it still a student?"

"Um."

“Do you wear makeup on a daily basis?”

Jiang Yingchu thought for two seconds and nodded: "Occasionally." She put on light makeup in summer, but in winter, because class is urgent, she just gets up late and occasionally wears a bare face. She is enough to apply lipstick.

The clerk nodded: "In daily life, you can also try this color. It is orange-red and it will be very suitable to apply lip biting without makeup. If you have white skin, you can hold these colors. Do you want to give you the facts?"

Jiang Yingchu was stunned and quickly refused: "No, I'll try the back of my hand."

"OK."

She was trying to be happy when a person suddenly stood beside her, looking down at her focused expression, covering her lips and coughing lightly.

Jiang Yingchu shook her hand and scratched the lipstick in her hand. She looked at Gu Xiuzhu in shock, opened her mouth, and turned into a stutter: "Why are you... coming?"

Gu Xiuzhu nodded: "Look at you're very happy here, come and have a look."

“…”

Gu Xiuzhu looked at the embarrassment on her face and smiled softly: "I like these?"

"Ah." She paused, nodded and smiled: "It's okay, girls should like it."

She likes lipsticks very much, but she doesn't buy a lot of them. Generally, she only buys more for herself during the Chinese New Year or birthday. The rest of the time is quite cheap and she won't buy specials. Her family is not bad, and the living expenses given by her parents are generally enough for her expenses. Jiang Yingchu will not pursue those high-end things, so it's quite a lot of money to buy cosmetics and lipsticks.

She looked at Gu Xiuzhu and pointed, "I'll be fine soon, wait for me for three minutes." She looked sideways at the clerk beside her and bought all the two colors she had just tried. Gu Xiuzhu was about to take out her wallet to pay, but Jiang Yingchu stopped her.

"I'll do it myself."

Gu Xiuzhu looked at her side and whispered: "It's a New Year's gift."

Jiang Yingchu was stunned, looking at the lipstick in his hand, still shook his head: "No need, Senior Gu, this is actually a bit expensive."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiuzhu smiled and said, "I believe you, Senior Gu, you can still afford this."

"No, I don't mean that." Jiang Yingchu yelled and paused, "If you really want to give me a gift, would you treat me to a meal later?"

Gu Xiuzhu was stunned, and looked at her persistent appearance and laughed helplessly: "Okay."

Finally, it was the account that Jiang Yingchu insisted on paying.

——

After buying the goods, the two of them went to have a meal.

Jiang Yingchu really didn't stick to it now, and let Gu Xiuzhu pay the bill. During the meal, she also asked Gu Xiuzhu what she came to do.

Gu Xiuzhu paused, looked up at her, and suddenly had a different idea.

"Will you be busy tomorrow?"

"Not busy," she said with a smile: "I'll go to my mother's side today and should sleep at home tomorrow."

Gu Xiuzhu was stunned, looking at the smile on her face, and felt a little moved: "Then help me tomorrow?"

"What?"

"The work matters are related to your major." He looked at Jiang Yingchu with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Come on?"

"Come."

She was excited in her heart. As long as she could stay with Gu Xiuzhu for a while, let alone accompanying him to work, she would be willing to stay up late to do things. What's more, she was really boring at home alone, and it would be better if she could have someone to talk to.

That's what the two of them decided.

After dinner, Gu Xiuzhu proposed to send her back. Although Jiang Yingchu wanted to refuse, before she could say it, Gu Xiuzhu rejected it in four words.

He was worried.
