Because of work, Jing Han had moved out. The days when he could not see her suddenly felt like he was missing a lot of things. Every night, Xing Lan would stop at the crowded streets to look for familiar figures. There were a few times when he mistook the other party for Jing Han, and the other party thought that he was crazy. Xing Lan did not know if every man in love was like this. If so, why was he the only crazy person on the streets?
On Saturday, Xinglan took a day off. He was going to buy Jinghan a piece of clothing. For such a long time, Xinglan had never bought Jinghan anything, not even a small accessory. In the world of love, Xinglan was such a careless person. He was surprisingly stupid and ridiculously silly. The reason why he had time today was because he was leaving Beijing. His resignation had been approved. The moment he left the company, Xinglan's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He had originally been looking forward to this day, but in the end, it had become very heavy. He was worried about leaving Jinghan alone in Beijing.
"Sis, can you help me try on this dress?”
Outside the clothing store, Xing Lan looked at the cotton-padded jacket worn by the model and gestured for the young female boss to help her take a look.
"Which one?"
There were two bosses in the shop. One of them was slightly older than the others, helping customers try on clothes. The other was sitting at the bar counter and asking Xing Lan.
"This is it."
Xing Lan ungracefully stripped the mannequin naked.
"(*^__^*) Hehe…slow down.”
Looking at Xing Lan, the girl at the bar covered her mouth and laughed. Xing Lan turned around to look. The model who had been stripped naked swayed left and right like a roly-doll before she stood still.
"I'm sorry, Ma 'am.”
Xing Lan carried the clothes with his left hand and adjusted the mannequin with his right hand before walking towards the girl at the bar counter. The girl had been sitting there the entire time.
"Hehe, this. I can't wear this.”
Looking at the clothes in Xing Lan's hands, the girl appeared very embarrassed.
"It's right that you can't wear it. If you wear it, I don't want it. I'm just looking at the style.”
Xing Lan's words made no sense.
"Hehe, you're funny, but I really can't wear it.”
The girl finally got up. Although she was not very fat, Xing Lan could tell that she definitely could not wear it.
"This is the smallest size. How thin does she have to be to wear it?”
The girl was puzzled.
"She's just very thin. She should look very cute in this dress.”
Xing Lan fiddled with it for a while, his face filled with satisfaction.
"Nowadays, people buy clothes in person. How do you know if she can wear them?”
The girl was puzzled.
"Sigh, she's a big shot. Besides, there are bodyguards now. Who would do it themselves? It's so tiring.”
Xing Lan looked left and right before folding the clothes.
"Are you sure? This will do."
Looking at Xing Lan folding the clothes, the girl had a look of disbelief.
"Why? Can't you fold clothes?”
Xing Lan teased with a smile.
"Are you sure she can wear it just by looking at it? How much do you know about her?”
The girl's expression was very unnatural. Xing Lan did not understand what her expression meant. After a long time, Xing Lan realized that it was envy.
"Probably. Boss, which one is the biggest one here?”
Xing Lan's question was very baffling.
"Over there, it's this one."
The girl took out a beige cotton jacket.
"This one is almost unsellable because it's too big and too fat. We're preparing to return it.”
The girl explained to Xing Lan with a puzzled expression. Xing Lan had been looking down at the fabric and the design.
"It's okay. If we're together, you don't have to return the goods. She's wearing the thinnest clothes now, but I'll let her wear the fattest clothes in a while.”
Xing Lan had a determined look on his face. Perhaps it was because Xing Lan's teasing words were attractive, the customer and the other boss also came to Xing Lan's side one after another.
"Young man, you're so eloquent and thoughtful. I don't have to worry about not being able to sell this dress. Don't worry, it will definitely work.”
The other boss looked at Xing Lan with joy.
"Then I'll borrow the boss's good words first. I'm welcome to come again.”
Xing Lan picked up his clothes and turned to leave. On the way, Xing Lan thought a lot. He could speak, but even he himself could not explain why he became mute or stuttered when he saw Jing Han.
Passing by a shop, Xinglan suddenly saw a pair of gloves placed inside. The weather was already very cold. Xinglan thought for a while and walked into the shop. Xinglan wanted a white one, but the boss said that it was out of stock, so Xinglan could only buy a pair of gray ones. Looking at the gloves, Xinglan suddenly remembered Jinghan's past photos. Jinghan used to be very fat, and because she was afraid that Xinglan would see it, she had always refused to let Xinglan see it. Xinglan still saw it, and Xinglan said it was very cute.
Actually, she was really cute. Compared to the skinny and weak Jing Han now, Xing Lan still liked her chubby appearance. Xing Lan did not tell Jing Han that when he fell in love with someone, it was not because he fell in love with her face. If it was just her face, Xing Lan might not fall in love with anyone, but he might fall in love with everyone. In Xing Lan's eyes, face itself was a symbol. If the entire world was a face, how could he differentiate between you and me? Xing Lan fell in love with someone because of habit, used to her personality, used to her hobbies. He was used to her face and even used to her falling in love with anyone. Xing Lan's love came from ordinary habits. Because habits were ordinary and ordinary, his love seemed so humble in front of his lover that he did not have any self-esteem.
"Look, doesn't it look like a bear paw?"
At home at night, Jinghan put on her gloves with a smile.
"Give me one."
Xing Lan put on the other one, and Jing Han immediately bent over with laughter.
"Remember to wear it when you go to work in the future. Otherwise, your hands will freeze.”
Holding Jing Han's small face, Xing Lan's eyes were filled with boundless tenderness. After not seeing her for a few days, Xing Lan's heart was filled with excitement.
"If I don't wear it, why would I wear gloves in the car? If I do that, people will laugh at me.”
Jing Han pouted in protest.
In the end, Xing Lan was unable to convince Jing Han. Jing Han finally suggested giving it to her mother, so Xing Lan did not insist.
Xing Lan suggested that they go out for a meal. He wanted to make up for all the things he owed Jing Han for the past few days. In the restaurant, Xing Lan ordered many dishes that Jing Han liked to eat. Jing Han no longer ate and took out her phone. Instead, she happily chatted with Xing Lan. Watching her eat, Xing Lan suddenly felt very happy. Even he himself did not know where happiness came from. The meal was very pleasant.
"Aren't you going to Shandong? Are you still going?”
Sitting on the bed, Jing Han asked Xing Lan about his future plans.
Xing Lan squatted on the ground and grabbed Jing Han's hand. Although Xing Lan had never held any girl's hand, Xing Lan could tell that Jing Han's hand was different from other girls. It was not soft nor delicate. At that moment, Xing Lan suddenly felt that this pair of hands was very unique and very familiar. It was as if the girl in front of him had belonged to her in her previous life.
"I'm not going."
Xing Lan responded to Jing Han's words. He went to Shandong Xinglan in hopes of forgetting her, but now, Xing Lan did not want to forget her.
"I was going to go home with you, but Mom said that it's only a few days away from the New Year, so she told me to go home only for the New Year.”
Jing Han stated her plan.
"I'm leaving. You must take good care of yourself, do you hear me?”
Raising his head to look at Jing Han, Xing Lan's eyes were filled with reluctance.
"I know. I'm already so old. As for you, don't always think about others.”
Jing Han seemed very happy.
Xing Lan did not say anything else. He continued to hold onto Jing Han's hand. Jing Han continued to talk about the interesting things that happened between her and her mother at home. Xing Lan did not listen to her at all. At that moment, Xing Lan was even thinking about how to keep her because he was suddenly very unwilling to let her leave. Xing Lan was very conflicted because he was not a casual man. This kind of thing that went against his instincts would hurt him every time.
Pulling Jing Han's hand, Xing Lan directly sat by the bed.
"I'm leaving."
Looking at Xing Lan, Jing Han, who sensed something strange, suggested to go back.
"Mhm, let's go. It's getting late.”
Xing Lan did not try to persuade her to stay. He was also afraid that he would not be able to control himself and say it out loud, making things difficult for Jinghan and embarrassing himself. He wanted to keep this relationship.
After sending Jinghan to the car, Xing Lan smiled and waved at her. The car quickly disappeared from his sight. Xing Lan let out a breath of turbid air and took out his phone to send a message to Jinghan.
"Actually, I really don't want you to leave. I want you to stay, but this is good too…”
Xing Lan's message was very long. He did not hide his thoughts and sent them all to Jing Han. Xing Lan just wanted to tell Jing Han that he loved her. Even if it was some evil thoughts in his heart, he could tell her without reservation. After sending the message, Xing Lan touched his slightly hot face. He was shy. There were many times when he would even envy those thick-skinned people.
Jing Han replied with a relieved tone. She told Xing Lan to take care of her.
The wind under the night sky carried a faint chill. Xing Lan tightened his clothes and walked home. At that moment, he felt that he already had the whole world.
