Chapter 188: Chapter 187 Then Buy Children’s Clothing

"Oh..." Li Yue was somewhat speechless, "What do you mean ’women’s wear’? Why didn’t you just say ’children’s wear’? You had me thinking you got a girlfriend behind my back."

Shen Mianmian was only fourteen or fifteen, she was still a child, wasn’t she?

With her height, she couldn’t fit into women’s wear!

"Then just buy children’s wear." He Nan frowned slightly, he hadn’t bought girls’ stuff before; to him, anything women wore was called women’s wear, completely forgetting about children’s wear.

"When are you going to send them to her? If it’s not urgent, I can go shopping again tomorrow." Li Yue was sometimes quite lazy, and though he said he would go buy it himself, he actually preferred to have someone else run the errand for him.

He didn’t have children himself and had no idea what to buy.

He Nan gave him a disapproving look, and Li Yue immediately understood, giving in, "Alright, I’ll make arrangements right away."

How had he not realized before that this guy was quite impulsive?

"Also, buy two pairs of cotton shoes," He Nan added.

Last time he saw her, she was still wearing a pair of thin shoes. In such cold weather, without cotton shoes, her toes would get frostbite.

Li Yue: "..."

Good lord, was he suddenly a father to a daughter? Not only did he have to worry about clothes and shoes but the kid didn’t even know he was the one putting in the effort.

"What shoe size does she wear?"

He Nan thought for two seconds, "Thirty-five."

Shen Mianmian’s feet seemed small, at most a size thirty-five. She was at an age where she was growing quickly, so having shoes a bit too big wasn’t an issue as long as they didn’t squeeze her feet.

"Then I’ll go arrange for the clothes and shoes," Li Yue turned and headed outside, not forgetting to remind, "When you send the stuff over, don’t forget to say that I helped to buy them."

He had to reclaim some of the credit for his efforts.

However, thinking about it, He Nan was really quite attentive to that girl, not at all like his usual style.

Then, remembering what He Nan said last time, Li Yue figured it out. That kind of bond between comrades that went beyond life and death was something ordinary people couldn’t understand.

He hadn’t interacted with Shen Mianmian but judging from the previous situation, the young girl truly stood out. At such a young age, she was calm and collected in the face of adversity, which was quite similar to He Nan.

...

After studying English books for more than an hour and memorizing some English words, Shen Mianmian found that her English pronunciation had actually improved compared to her previous life, also speaking more fluently and not as stiff.

This pleasantly surprised her.

Just as she was about to review again, Zhou Lanfang and her nephew returned. Their voices reached inside even before they entered the house.

"Siyu, it’s cold outside; go inside and warm up first."

"Aunt, I’ll help you carry the stuff."

"No need for that. Just bring your own clothes in,"

No sooner had Zhou Lanfang finished speaking than Zhou Siyu appeared in the room.

"Sister, do you think the new clothes I bought look nice?" Zhou Siyu happily displayed her new clothes, showing them off against herself.

"If they’re not nice, can you return them?" Shen Mianmian asked indifferently.

Zhou Siyu’s smile faded as she pouted, "Just be sour!" To envy was to talk nonsense about what one can’t have. Everyone else said they looked nice, only Shen Mianmian said otherwise. If that’s not being jealous, what is it?

"Then don’t ask me. If you ask me, they’re not nice."

In fact, it wasn’t that she was envious; the truth was, the clothes didn’t look particularly nice. A bright red jacket, the kind worn over a cotton-padded coat, rural people of that era liked to dress like that.
