Finally, Yao Nian found a simple-looking dress in Fang Yiran's wardrobe. However, since the weather had turned cooler, she paired it with a pink cardigan of her own.
Fang Yiran was petite, with slightly chubby cheeks that formed shallow dimples, giving her a pure and cute appearance that suited the delicate look perfectly. She happily ran into the bathroom to put on a face mask.
Lin Mo leaned closer and blinked her eyes. "So, how's it going? Any progress with Lawyer Shen?"
Yao Nian gathered her long hair and replied lightly, "We just went out for hot pot together."
Lin Mo eagerly waited for her to continue, but after several seconds of silence, she asked, "Is that it?"
"That's it," Yao Nian lowered her gaze. "And there won't be any progress between us."
"Why not?" Lin Mo reached for the bag of unfinished chips on Fang Yiran's desk. "I saw him waiting for you at the hall this afternoon. He seems quite interested in you, but you seem reluctant to engage with him."
Yao Nian's expression gradually dimmed as she dryly squeezed out six words: "He has a girlfriend."
Lin Mo paused for a moment, realization dawning on her. "No wonder."
She tried to comfort Yao Nian. "There's nothing you can do about it. Don't be too upset; a quality man like Lawyer Shen must have been snatched up long ago."
Yao Nian nodded. "Yeah, I've come to terms with it. Wise people don’t fall in love; they focus on their studies!"
Xu Jiayi laughed. "You don't have to be so harsh about it."
Though she said that, the youthful yearning for love was too strong; she desperately wanted to conquer that peak and grasp the blossoming flowers at its summit. But feelings were not like other things; effort didn’t guarantee a good outcome. In fact, she hadn’t even had the chance to try.
Two weeks passed, and during this time, the temperature in Shanghai dropped sharply. As the saying goes, "After the Autumn Equinox night, it gets cooler each night." The most noticeable change was the widening gap between day and night temperatures.
Yao Nian initially wanted Yao Zhandong to send over some warm clothes, but she didn't know what he had been busy with lately; he had hardly been home. When she called, he either didn't answer or would hang up after just a few words.
She and Lin Mo took advantage of the weekend to shop at the central mall. Originally, Fang Yiran had planned to join them, but right before they left, her boyfriend from the finance department called for her.
The girl was in the throes of young love; they were inseparable. After teasing her a bit, Lin Mo let her go.
Sitting on the sofa, she observed Yao Nian trying on clothes and couldn't help but exclaim, "See? A beauty is a beauty! You could wear a sack and still look good!"
Yao Nian was trying on a short, stand-collared jacket with red stripes. Her complexion was already fair, and this bright-colored outfit made her look even more radiant and charming.
"This one looks great," Lin Mo said. "Just wear it."
As Yao Nian was getting ready to pay, she noticed a WeChat message from Shen Du that he had sent ten minutes ago, asking if she was at school. He mentioned that the materials he promised to organize for her were ready and that he would bring them over later.
The law firm was quite far from the school, and it would take him two hours for a round trip.
"What's wrong?" Lin Mo asked, noticing that Yao Nian had been standing at the counter without moving. She leaned in closer to inquire.
Yao Nian placed her phone in front of her. "Should I just go pick it up? I don’t want to trouble him too much."
Lin Mo glanced at her and took the shopping bags from her hands. "Then you should go. I’ll take these back to the dorm for you."
Yao Nian was taken aback. "Aren't you coming with me?"
"What would it look like if I went with you?" Lin Mo replied while opening a ride-hailing app. "I’m not familiar with Lawyer Shen."
Before heading to the law firm, Yao Nian specifically sent a WeChat message to Shen Du, letting him know she was nearby and could come by to pick up the materials directly.
