Xu Juren walked on the street, his eyes lingering at the jewelry shops and clothing stores on both sides, occasionally curling his fingers, thinking about something secretly.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned around to look at the person behind him, "Junior Brother Gu, why do you have to walk so slowly? I see your legs are not too short."
A few steps away, it was Gu Yuqi who was forced to come by him.
It will be Zhou Qing's birthday in a few days. As usual, Xu Juren will come out a few days in advance to prepare gifts. This year, Gu Yuqi happened to be in the sect, so he could not avoid his fate and was forced to participate in it.
Gu Yuqi just pretended not to hear Xu Juren's words, his eyes were fixed in front of him, his steps were not hurried or slow, and he was not in a hurry at all. The people in front of him couldn't help but look a little more impatient.
"Junior Brother Aqi, please walk a little faster. The new ready-made clothes for the next half year will be sold at Xiuyun Tower today. If you arrive late, the set I planned to give to Senior Sister will be sold out." Xu Juren said, wanting to drag Gu Yuqi along with him.
He ran wildly to the door of Xiuyun Tower.
Xiuyunlou is the most popular women's clothing store in Fengcheng. Its styles and fabrics are extremely novel and its style is unique. It is very popular among female nuns. However, its high price also prohibits most female nuns with low financial resources.
Xiuyunlou's habit is to display the styles a month in advance before each new style is released, so today Xu Juren waited for nearly a month.
Glancing at Xu Juren, who had an anxious brow, Gu Yuqi finally speeded up his pace a little, as if he finally sensed Xu Juren's anxiety.
The Zhou family is not short of money, and Zhou Qing herself can afford Xiuyunlou's clothes, but her father has told her over and over again since she was a child that to practice swordsmanship, you only need to have a good sword, and flashy things are just a burden.
Therefore, she rarely spends money on clothes like ordinary women.
Every time I see her, she always wears simple and casual clothes, with only a hosta on her head, as simple as an ascetic.
In the past, Gu Yuqi also thought that Zhou Qing was a person who looked as pure and stoic as she appeared. When he saw her accepting a bunch of flashy things bought by Xu Juren without changing her expression time and time again, he secretly thought that she was very generous and could tolerate this.
Xu Juren acted recklessly.
It was not until later by chance that I realized that the person who knew Zhou Qing best was none other than Xu Juren.
At that time, Xu Juren said proudly, "When giving gifts, of course you have to give them what they like. What girl wouldn't like these exquisite things? Do you think my gifts over the years have been randomly selected?"
Gu Yuqi didn't think too much about whether his gift was chosen randomly. After all, the two of them grew up together, so it was not surprising that they knew each other's preferences.
He just didn't expect that girls could be so duplicitous.
She obviously liked it, but she said she didn't want it and insisted that someone force it on her, so she reluctantly accepted it.
When they came to Xiuyun Tower, Xu Juren ordered most of the new ready-made clothes like a rich man. Looking carefully, he saw that these clothes were brightly colored and complex in style, completely opposite to Zhou Qing's usual clothes.
But he didn't realize that he had made a mistake. Instead, he happily asked the boss to take the same size and wrap them all up.
To be honest, Gu Yuqi had never seen Zhou Qing wear the things that Xu Juren gave to Zhou Qing. Sometimes he felt that Xu Juren was deceiving himself and others, and also deceived himself.
But thinking about it more deeply, Zhou Qing allowed Ju Ren to buy a bunch of things for herself every year that did not suit her taste. Doesn't it mean that they have a deep relationship and are happy with each other.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuqi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
After Xu Juren looked at the things over there, he turned around and saw Gu Yuqi looking distractedly at a piece of clothing. He joked, "What are you thinking about? Maybe you want to follow my example and buy a gift for your sweetheart."
Xu Juren looked at him leisurely, staring at Gu Yuqi with a sense of seniority.
Hearing his friend's voice, Gu Yuqi came back to his senses and his eyes stayed on the red gauze skirt in front of him for a moment.
When he was distracted just now, he subconsciously looked there.
Now that his eyes were focused, he could clearly see the appearance of the gauze skirt. It was completely different from the style that the person wore in his memory, but he vaguely felt that it would be very suitable for her if she wore it.
She seems to be born with the color red.
Seeing that he was silent and staring at a piece of clothing, not sure whether he wanted to buy it or not, Xu Juren asked curiously, "By the way, do you know how to please a girl's family? Have you ever given a girl as a gift before?"
Gift."
At this moment, Gu Yuqi had an unspeakable feeling. He really didn't know how to please people. He only remembered that he had heard Xu Juren say before that when giving things, you should give them what they like.
The only way to please a girl is from Xu Juren, but apart from knowing that he would often send Zhou Qing gifts, there was nothing else.
In fact, he didn't spend much time with Tong Yan, probably because he paid too little attention in the past. He only knew that she obviously liked to eat, and nothing else.
Later, he realized that Tong Yan had some love for money, even if it was very subtle, but he was not completely sure about it, so he still found an opportunity to give her a large bag of spiritual stones.
Knowing that her cultivation level was low and that she was being targeted, he specially changed the defensive magic weapon and sent it to her, but she knew she didn't want it, and she didn't show any happiness at all.
Gu Yuqi didn't quite understand, hadn't he already followed Xu Juren's instructions and why everything still went wrong?
"She said there's no need." Gu Yuqi frowned and muttered in a low voice.
Xu Juren, who has a keen ear, did not miss this sentence, "You gave her something and the girl's family rejected it?"
Seeing that he didn't bite, Xu Juren knew that he had probably guessed it right, and looked at him with some sympathy, "What did you give me?"
"A storage bag of spiritual stones."
Xu Juren: "...isn't it too straightforward?"
He asks you to give gifts to enhance feelings, not to give you money directly, which is so tacky!
Gu Yuqi frowned and thought.
Xu Juren asked again, "Are there any other gifts?"
"Yes, a top-quality defensive weapon."
"The magic weapon was also rejected?" Xu Juren was a little puzzled. It is easy to understand why Qian Cai refused. After all, there is no one who directly accepts money as a gift, but the best magic weapon is something that can save one's life.
Gu Yuqi shook his head again, "She refused, so I left my things and left."
Xu Juren: "..."
Then he patted Gu Yuqi on the shoulder and sighed, "Junior brother, it seems you still have a long road ahead."
He still has unrequited love.
You know, Senior Sister Sanqing has never refused anything he gave her. Even if she can't take it with her, she will carefully collect it one by one.
Understanding the meaning of his words, Gu Yuqi felt even more congested.
He raised his eyelids and said to the shopkeeper, "Wrap up that red gauze skirt."
It doesn't matter if you have unrequited love, one day you will be happy with each other.
After this conference is over, maybe he should mention this matter to his master.
If the Demon Sect and the Sword Sect get married in the future, considering that not everyone in the sect has no prejudice against Demon Cultivation, they will probably move out in the future.
Of course he didn't care about the mood of his fellow disciples, but he didn't want Tong Yan to be wronged. If there was an annoying female disciple in the sect, it would definitely disturb their lives, so it was always better to stay away.
It's also time to save some money. One Chaos Spiritual Root and one Thunder Spiritual Root require a lot of cultivation resources...
