At this time, a complicated expression flashed across Xiao Yingze's face. Lu Ziyou hadn't noticed it just now, but he noticed the micro-expressions on the faces of Huo Tianshuo and Li Manzi.
What kind of cousin? Just because Li Manzi was stunned just now, Xiao Yingze had doubts in his heart. Looking at the look Li Manzi looked at Huo Tianshuo just now, it was not like the expression of a sister looking at her brother. Anyway, Xiao Yingxi had never looked at her with that look.
Own.
"Manzi, have you chosen?"
At this time, Huo Tianshuo spoke, looked at the shoes on Li Manzi's feet, and asked.
Li Manzi suddenly showed a troubled expression and said.
"I've looked at several pairs and I don't know which one to choose. How about I help you pick one?"
With that said, Li Manzi pulled Huo Tianshuo into the shoe store. Lu Ziyou stood at the door, wondering what he was thinking. Xiao Yingze on the side saw this and asked softly.
"Go in?"
"Let's go in and have a look."
I don't know what Lu Ziyou was thinking. In fact, the shoes in this store were not suitable for Lu Ziyou and were completely different from her usual style. But just because Huo Tianshuo was inside, she walked in.
Xiao Yingze had no choice but to follow.
Huo Tianshuo was helping Li Manzi choose shoes. Xiao Yingze saw Lu Ziyou wandering around Huo Tianshuo alone. He couldn't stand it anymore. He put the shopping bag aside and walked over. He saw a pair of high heels on the shelf that were not too high and took them in front of Lu Ziyou.
, said.
"This pair suits your style very well today, give it a try."
Lu Ziyou took a look and found that although it was not high-heeled compared to other high-heeled shoes, for Lu Ziyou, it was already the highest among all her shoes. She refused directly.
"Forget it, it's not my style."
But Xiao Yingze directly pulled Lu Ziyou to sit down, squatted in front of her, grabbed her feet and prepared to try them on for her.
"How can you know if it suits you if you don't try it on? Just like something you think suits you, sometimes it may not bring out your beauty when worn on your body. Some things just have to be tried again and again. Do you understand?"
Xiao Yingze said while helping Lu Ziyou put on her shoes. After hearing this, Huo Tianshuo glanced at the high heels on Lu Ziyou's feet and said.
"I think Yoyo is still suitable for more casual shoes."
When Huo Tianshuo said this, Lu Ziyou became even more resistant. It was obvious that she cared about Huo Tianshuo's opinion of her.
Just when Lu Ziyou wanted to retract her feet, Xiao Yingze grabbed her ankle tightly, put the shoes on Lu Ziyou's feet, then pulled her to stand up and said.
"Women? You should keep trying different styles. Every woman should have her own pair of high heels. Nothing is necessary, understand? Look, how beautiful these shoes look with your dress today."
Xiao Yingze looked at Lu Ziyou with admiration, and as he spoke, he brought Lu Ziyou to the mirror.
Li Manzi on the side looked at the shoes on Lu Ziyou's feet, and his eyes lit up.
The pair of shoes just now looked ordinary on the cabinet, but after wearing them on Lu Ziyou's feet, they looked particularly eye-catching.
"Yuyou, these shoes are so beautiful."
With that said, Li Manzi said to the waiter next to him.
"Please give me a pair of these shoes, I want to try them too."
When the waiter heard this, he showed a troubled expression.
"Sorry, madam, this is a limited edition in our store. There is only one pair of one size. You and this lady are wearing the same size."
When Li Manzi heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, and he stared at the shoes on Lu Ziyou's feet.
Seeing this, Huo Tianshuo on the side came over and pulled Li Manzi and said.
"Manzi, you should try other shoes. This is the shoe that Youyou likes first. It cannot win over others."
"Senior, no need. I'm just going to try them on. I'm still used to wearing sneakers. I'd rather give these leather shoes to your cousin."
Lu Ziyou lowered her head and looked at the shoes on her feet. They really matched her outfit. But after hearing Huo Tianshuo's words, she wanted to give these shoes to Li Manzi.
With that said, Lu Ziyou sat down and prepared to take off her clothes. Li Manzi listened and showed a smile on his face.
At this moment, Xiao Yingze took out his credit card and said to the waiter on the side.
"Swipe your card and wrap up these shoes."
As soon as Xiao Yingze opened his mouth, Lu Ziyou couldn't help but be stunned, and Li Manzi on the side was also slightly stunned.
Lu Ziyou immediately stopped Xiao Yingze and said.
"Yingze, what are you doing? I told you I don't like these shoes."
"I like it, can't I?"
With that said, Xiao Yingze handed the credit card directly to the waiter, and then walked to the cashier.
The scene suddenly became awkward. Li Manzi looked at the shoes that were put away by the waiter, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything.
Huo Tianshuo on the side frowned slightly when he saw Li Manzi lowering his head, patted Li Manzi on the shoulder and comforted her.
"Go and look at other shoes. If you like them all, buy them all."
With that said, Huo Tianshuo put a credit card in Li Manzi's hand and said something else.
"You know the password?"
Li Manzi seemed to listen to Huo Tianshuo's words. He took the credit card and went directly to the cashier without worrying about it.
When Lu Ziyou saw this scene, he looked envious and said quietly.
"The senior is so kind to my cousin. None of my brothers who are my compatriots have ever been so generous."
It was just a sigh, but Huo Tianshuo explained with a guilty conscience.
"Manzi has suffered a lot since childhood. I finally came to Los Angeles. I just want to make her happy."
With that said, Huo Tianshuo turned around to look for Li Manzi's figure, with his back to Lu Ziyou. Lu Ziyou could not see the burning and obsessed look in Huo Tianshuo's eyes.
After a while, Xiao Yingze came over after buying the order and carrying the pair of shoes. Seeing Lu Ziyou still sitting on the lounge chair, he asked.
"Want to go shopping again?"
"Forget it, the movie is about to start, let's go watch a movie."
With that said, Lu Ziyou stood up and said to Huo Tianshuo beside him.
"Senior, let's go first."
Huo Tianshuo nodded and said politely.
"We made an appointment to have dinner together another day."
Lu Ziyou nodded, and then followed Xiao Yingze out of the shoe store.
After leaving the door, Xiao Yingze pretended to ask casually.
"Has Mr. Huo mentioned to you that he has a cousin?"
Lu Ziyou shook his head and complained with some disgust.
"I'm not his, so why don't you tell me the relatives in his family? Xiao Yingze, you are very strange."
Hearing Lu Ziyou's words, Xiao Yingze shook his head helplessly, then turned around and looked at the shoe store again. Huo Tianshuo and Li Manzi happened to come out of it. Judging from the postures of the two people, they were extremely close, and they didn't look like cousins.
Before going to the cinema, they went to the parking lot and put their purchases in the car. When they were leaving, Xiao Yingze grabbed Lu Ziyou and squatted down, holding in his hand the pair of shoes he had just paid for.
"Xiao Yingze, what are you doing?"
"You obviously like it, why not? Lu Ziyou, you are the eldest lady of the Yu family after all. When did you become so humble?"
As he said that, Xiao Yingze had already picked up one of Lu Ziyou's legs, took off her sneakers, and put the leather shoes on her feet.
After changing his shoes, Xiao Yingze stood up, stared at Xiao Yingze's legs, and sighed.
"Look, how beautiful you are. I remember you liked buying high heels when you first went to college. Why did you suddenly change?"
Xiao Yingze asked knowingly. He didn't understand before, but after what happened just now, he seemed to have thought of something.
Hearing Xiao Yingze's words, Lu Ziyou sighed thoughtfully, but did not give an answer. Looking at the shoes on his feet, his nose was slightly sore, but when he raised his head, there was a smile on his face, and he suddenly hugged her.
Xiao Yingze said.
"Xiao Yingze, thank you. I also find that I look pretty in high heels."
"That's right? Everyone should live for themselves. Don't you have to rely on other people's preferences for what you like to wear and what you don't like? Isn't that too tiring? Let's go, the movie is about to start."
With that said, Xiao Yingze stretched out his hand to hold Lu Ziyou. This time, Lu Ziyou was particularly cooperative. The two of them intertwined their fingers and left the parking lot.
"Shuo, look, are those Miss Lu and her friend? It turns out they are a couple."
At this time, not far from Xiao Yingze and the others, a car slowly drove out. In the car, Li Manzi pointed in the direction of Xiao Yingze and the others and said.
Huo Tianshuo's eyes noticed the clasped hands of Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou. The hands holding the steering wheel tightened slightly, and his thin lips pursed tightly, not knowing what they were thinking.
At this time, Li Manzi turned around, glanced at Huo Tianshuo, held Huo Tianshuo's right hand with one hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked.
"Shuo, do those two people know your family?"
Huo Tianshuo knew what Li Manzi meant, so he retracted his coldness, took Li Manzi's hand with his backhand, put it to his lips, kissed it, and said.
"Manzi, give me a little more time. One day, I will take you home openly."
Hearing Huo Tianshuo's pledge, Li Manzi showed a gentle smile on his face, leaned slightly to the left, and spoke softly.
"Shuo, I don't mean anything else. I said that as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter to me whether I have a status or not. I know your difficulties. Even if our relationship can never be made public, it will not change my feelings for you.
Love."
Hearing Li Manzi's gentle and considerate words, Huo Tianshuo felt deep guilt in his heart. He reached out and touched Li Manzi's head lovingly, and said with a serious face.
"I will give you a title. When my studio is stable, I will let you stand beside me upright and be my Mrs. Huo."
Just as Xiao Yingze suspected, Li Manzi was not Huo Tianshuo's cousin at all, but his girlfriend who had never made it public.
Here, Xiao Yingze and Lu Ziyou left the parking lot and went directly to the cinema. They watched a romance movie about a pair of childhood sweethearts.
The man has always been in love with the girl, but unfortunately the girl is very slow and always regards the relationship between them as friendship. The man has witnessed every boyfriend of the girl and has accompanied her through lovelorn time and time again.
Countless times, the boy hinted at the girl, but the girl remained indifferent. She always felt that they were used to each other's company, but she never thought about it that such companionship was actually love.
It wasn't until one day that the boy got into a car accident while trying to buy his favorite dessert for the lovelorn girl. The girl didn't understand what it meant to be heartbroken at the moment she lost the boy. It was also at that moment that she realized that she had actually fallen in love with him.
I lost that boy, but unfortunately they are separated forever.
In the cinema, almost all young couples watched it together. Halfway through the movie, bursts of sobbing could be heard in the cinema.
The plot of the movie is actually very simple, but it is this simplest and most neglected love that moved many girls in the cinema. Even Lu Ziyou, who is usually very nervous, was moved to tears.
Suddenly, a handkerchief appeared in front of Lu Ziyou, and then Xiao Yingze stretched out his hand, hugged Lu Ziyou directly in his arms, and said with a doting look on his face.
"It's just a movie, why are you crying?"
Lu Ziyou said while blowing her nose with a handkerchief.
"What do you know? In fact, this girl also knew very well that she fell in love with that boy, but when she experienced lovelorn again and again, she was afraid that she and the boy would do the same, so she did not dare to face her heart.
"
Hearing Lu Ziyou's analysis, Xiao Yingze's heart tightened inexplicably. He turned sideways and looked at Lu Ziyou, who was crying with pear blossoms in the rain. He hesitated for a moment and asked.
"What about you, will you do the same thing? Because you are afraid of the loss of friendship, you can avoid the love in your heart."
When Lu Ziyou heard Xiao Yingze's question, he was stunned for a moment, then gently pushed Xiao Yingze and said something.
"I'm analyzing the plot of the movie, why are you mentioning me?"
As he said that, Lu Ziyou started to shed tears again. Xiao Yingze sighed softly. After all, he thought too much, and held Lu Ziyou in his arms again, comforting her.
"Okay, stop crying. You know I hate seeing girls cry. Be good."
Xiao Yingze was like coaxing a child, stroking Lu Ziyou's head and comforting her constantly, which made Lu Ziyou burst into laughter.
"You are trying to coax a child, get out of here."
After saying that, Lu Ziyou wanted to sit up from Xiao Yingze's arms, but the next second, Xiao Yingze hugged her into his arms again and said with a doting look on his face.
"Look at the way you are crying and laughing now, you don't look like a child. Okay, just cry if you want. No one will laugh at you."
With that said, Xiao Yingze touched Lu Ziyou's head again. Just when Lu Ziyou wanted to resist, Xiao Yingze handed over the snacks in his hand and said softly.
