After being teased by Mosen, Jiang Liuying was unwilling to back down and chased after him, ready to hit him.
"Are you asking for a beating? I noticed you looked like you needed one since the first time I saw you," Jiang Liuying retorted.
In the jewelry store, Mosen picked out several small pieces of jewelry and some hair clips.
At the cash register, Jiang Liuying firmly disagreed with Mosen buying them. "I don't need these things," Liuying said.
"But I like seeing you wear them; they look beautiful," Mosen replied.
The two of them were at a standstill at the cash register for quite a while, and the cashier, looking troubled, asked, "Are you buying or not?"
"Buying," Mosen insisted.
Seeing Mosen's determination, Liuying had no choice but to relent. Besides, if her boyfriend wanted to buy her something, it would be awkward to keep refusing. So, she accepted.
However, she still requested Mosen to return a few items. "I don't need to buy so many; it's just a waste of money," Liuying said.
"But I like seeing you change your look every day." As they exited the jewelry store, Mosen said.
He insisted on buying a bunch of items for Liuying, all of which he had chosen because she would never pick things out for herself if Mosen was always buying things for her.
Once they were outside the store, Mosen stood by the roadside and helped Liuying put on the jewelry and hair clips. After finishing, he exclaimed, "So beautiful!" and took a step back to admire her.
"You just said I looked like Mario! You also said I disrupted the normal order of the campus!" Jiang Liuying said, feeling pleased with his compliment while playfully retorting.
"Idiot, there are many reasons for disrupting order that you don't understand. Have you ever seen a big-name celebrity make an entrance? Those superstars definitely disrupt normal order," Mosen joked.
"Cut." Jiang Liuying turned her face away, not wanting to look at Mosen's grinning face.
After examining Liuying again, Mosen circled around Jiang Liuying like a sycophant and finally said, "Well, it's actually quite strange. If someone else wore your outfit, it would definitely affect the city's appearance, but on you, it has a unique charm."
"You're just flattering me," Liuying replied. "One moment you're criticizing me, the next you're praising me. Thankfully, I have good mental resilience; otherwise, I'd be going crazy."
Mosen sinisterly chuckled and said, "If I occasionally criticize you, heh heh, you'd ascend to the heavens like Chang'e. How could I ever match up to you?"
"Cut." Liuying walked beside Mosen, her butterfly hairpin perfectly positioned to catch his eye. He couldn't help but admire her again, saying, "So beautiful."
When they reached a stall, Mosen said he was thirsty and asked if Liuying could use the money from selling empty bottles to buy him an ice cream.
Liuying took out some money and said, "There's not much left; we still have three days until the end of the week. So we can only afford green bean ice shavings."
Mosen replied, "What a stingy housekeeper."
Liuying shot him a glare and said, "What do you know? From now on, we need to learn how to live and manage our expenses. I still need to save some money each week, so we have to use it sparingly."
"Why save money?" Mosen didn't understand.
"To use when we need it more later," Liuying explained.
"What could we possibly need more money for later? Is it for getting married?" When Mosen heard Liuying mention "living" and "managing life," he felt a small sense of happiness and sweetness in his heart.
Indeed, since dating Jiang Liuying, she made Mosen feel that their relationship was not like other couples' overly sweet love; her love was rational and sensible. There were no dramatic ups and downs; it felt warm and natural like a couple living together. Especially when she dragged Mosen every weekend to collect empty drink bottles to sell, it stirred a sense of happiness in him that felt more genuine and down-to-earth than romance.
When they went shopping together, she never asked him for anything or for gifts. Even when Mosen actively wanted to buy something for her, she would always frown and stop him. So many times he secretly bought things for her first before giving them to her, but she would still say, "I don't need this; it's a waste of money. We will need money more in the future; we should save it for when it's really needed."
Mosen did not understand when he would need money in the future, so he jokingly asked her.
She glared at him angrily and said, "You idiot, what do you know? In the future, when you prepare for your graduate studies, you need to strengthen your nutrition. The money you don't need to spend now should be saved for your studies, to buy you good food to nourish your body."
Mosen was deeply grateful but also asked, "Graduate studies? You want me to pursue graduate studies?" This was something he had never considered, but how could Liuying have already planned it out with him? It showed how far ahead she was thinking.
Jiang Liuying nodded and said, "Of course! I definitely want to pursue graduate studies. Don't you want to? Idiot, it's for a better quality of life in the future."
"Oh." Mosen nodded. Although he felt like his life was being planned by her, he still felt very happy because while others in love only talked about the present feelings of love or not, his relationship with Jiang Liuying had been about planning for the future from day one.
He was more than willing for Jiang Liuying to calculate and plan his life in advance.
But he still had to tease her a bit, saying, "Penny pincher, stingy person, housekeeper."
Liuying didn't argue back with him, as if he were a mischievous little child. Sometimes she would indulge him or buy him a drink as compensation. She would also say, "Well, buying drinks is more cost-effective; we can keep the bottles and sell them later."
Looking at Jiang Liuying being stingy yet proud of it, Mosen actually felt happy. He knew she wasn't doing it for money; both her family and his weren't in bad financial situations. She was an independent girl who simply didn't want to live like other girls.
So the more Jiang Liuying acted this way, the more Mosen was attracted to her unique charm.
In mid-April, Lu Chenyu, who was interning in Qinhuangdao, couldn't stand the longing and came back to Beijing one weekend afternoon. During that time in Beijing, the relationship between Lin Xi and Lu Chenyu reached its peak. He accompanied her every day; even when Lin Xi had classes, he followed her to the classroom. During this period, Lin Xi also invited Qinglan and Su Hailu out for meals several times. Each time, Lin Xi did not invite An Shaojie, so Qinglan also didn't bring along Xu Wen. However, Su Hailu kept thinking about An Shaojie, asking at the dinner table each time, "Hmm, the green plum is here; why haven't we seen the bamboo horse?"
