Chapter 312: Chapter 312 Buying Shoes

"Brother He Nan, Siyuan and I have been doing business recently, and we’ve made quite a bit of money." She looked around and then leaned in close to him, her eyes sparkling as she whispered, "I’ve saved up more than a thousand yuan."

She now considered herself a little rich lady, no longer someone to be helped out of poverty.

He Nan, seemingly ignoring her boastful talk, said indifferently, "Go inside and see if there’s anything you like."

"..."

Shen Mianmian’s mouth twitched slightly. Had her high-profile flaunting of wealth been in vain?

"Brother He Nan, I..."

"Don’t like anything?" He Nan raised an eyebrow, "Then let’s check out the next shop."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

She bit her lip and decided to be straightforward, "Brother He Nan, I have savings now, I can buy it myself."

He had helped her enough, and Shen Mianmian felt grateful. She didn’t want to be a leech, taking advantage of others’ kindness to endlessly amplify her own desires.

He Nan frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on her for a while.

It hadn’t been even a month since he last saw her, and she had grown a bit taller.

With the weather warming up, her cheeks were no longer the red of winter’s cold but were fair and tender. Her eyebrows and eyes were gradually becoming more defined, and when she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons. Those eyes became ever more lively, especially when she spoke of money.

She was also becoming more set in her own ways.

It seemed she was starting to resist accepting things from him.

He Nan couldn’t quite put his finger on why, but he felt he didn’t quite like this behavior that seemed to push their relationship to a greater distance.

"This is a reward for coming first in three subjects." He found an excuse she couldn’t refuse.

"Brother He Nan, you knew about this already?" Shen Mianmian was somewhat surprised.

"Yes," He Nan nodded slightly, "the principal called to inform me."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

So the principal had been reporting her situation to He Nan all this time.

Since he had put it that way, Shen Mianmian couldn’t refuse and confidently walked into the store.

Seeing He Nan’s demeanor and attire, the store owner was surprisingly agreeable. Watching the owner’s enthusiastic behavior, Shen Mianmian thought to herself that when she and Lu Siyuan shopped together, no one had ever been this eager.

It turned out that businesspeople really did judge by appearance.

Since there were people waiting on both sides, Shen Mianmian didn’t have the heart to pick slowly; she quickly chose a pair of comfortable canvas shoes.

Seeing how swiftly Shen Mianmian made her choice, without nitpicking like others, the owner’s attitude became even better, cheerfully packing the shoes for her.

When He Nan paid, he spoke calmly, "Two pairs."

Upon hearing this, the owner became even happier, "Young lady, your brother is really good to you."

Shen Mianmian smiled but thought to herself it was a pity she wasn’t lucky enough to have such a good brother.

After leaving the shoe store, the two walked through another street toward the market. Shen Mianmian had intended to tell He Nan not to accompany her, but seeing his serious expression, she didn’t dare speak up.

No help for it—Brother He Nan’s presence was just too imposing.

He Nan took long strides, and she had to jog to keep up, but she didn’t dare to ask him to wait for her. Being too short to keep up wasn’t a reason she wanted to admit to; it was too embarrassing.

Besides, there were customers waiting for Brother He Nan. Although he didn’t say so, he was surely in a rush to get there.

After all, it’s not good to keep customers waiting too long.

He Nan had never taken a girl shopping before, so he didn’t think of these issues. The street was crowded, but he deftly navigated through the masses.

As they passed a stall selling combs and hair clips, he stopped, turned his head, and saw no sign of Shen Mianmian by his side.
