6 PM
Lin Feng and An Xin met up at the subway station an hour later.
"Steamed Bun, you're so slow! I've been waiting for you for half an hour!"
"Steamed Bun, you're so slow. I've been waiting for you for almost half an hour!"
Lin Feng grumbled unhappily.
"Sorry, it took me a while to get changed."
"Sorry ~ It took me a while to change clothes at home."
"I'm sorry, it took me a while to get dressed."
She wore a beige jacket with a clean shirt and a sweater underneath. She wore a knee-length skirt with a pair of black pantyhose that accentuated the slender curves of her legs. Today, the girl looked sweet and refreshing in her outfit.
Lin Feng sized An Xin up from head to toe and gave his evaluation.
"You look about the same as usual."
Then he glanced at the girl's slender calves that were accentuated by her black pantyhose and expressed his opinion.
"Isn't it cold to dress like that in this weather?"
An Xin replied in a huff,
"Idiot, tights keep me warm!"
"Come on, let's go buy Tang Tang a present!"
… …
"So, do you have any ideas? Where are we going? "
An Xin asked Lin Feng.
"Me?" Lin Feng rubbed his chin. "Oh, right. That Bainahui Mall in Pudong is pretty good!"
An Xin was speechless.
"They sell computers, mice, and keyboards. Do you want to buy a computer for Tang Tang?"
Lin Feng's interest didn't diminish. "A computer is too expensive, but a mouse and keyboard are good too! I saw a really cool keyboard last time. I've been wanting to buy one for a long time! "
An Xin facepalmed. "Idiot, that's because you want to buy yourself a present, right? There's no way Tang Tang would like something like that. "
Lin Feng didn't know what to say.
Indeed, what kind of gift would Tang Tang like?
An Xin reminded him.
"Think about what Tang Tang likes. It'll be more reliable to start from the type she likes."
Lin Feng rubbed his chin again.
"What does Tang Tang like? Oh, she likes money! Does that count? "
"Of course not! Are you going to give her a red packet? "
Lin Feng sighed. "I see. That's so troublesome. Giving her a red packet is actually pretty convenient. Oh, right. Tang Tang only likes to play LL! Draven is her hero! "
All of a sudden, Lin Feng was energized. If he thought about it from this angle, he could immediately think of a suitable gift.
"What? Are you going to give her Draven's hero skin? "
An Xin looked at Lin Feng from the corner of her eyes.
Lin Feng's Qi immediately weakened. "Can't I …"
An Xin covered her forehead in resignation and sighed.
"Forget it, it's useless to count on you. Let me think of a way."
Lin Feng was overjoyed. "Right! I already told you that I'm not good at this sort of thing. Steamed Bun, I'm counting on you today! "
"You still have the nerve to say such words so confidently … Later, you must treat me to a good meal to repay me, remember!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, leave it to me! Hey hey, the subway is coming. Hurry up and get on! "
…
"Oh! — "
Lin Feng leaned against the counter in an exquisite League of Legends themed shop, staring at the dazzling array of hero figurines on display. His eyes widened in excitement.
"So cool!"
From the 36-chested zither girl figurines to the majestic Garen figurines, there was even a Boxer's son EZ doll and a flat-chested Jinx pillow.
Inside this inconspicuous little shop, there were all kinds of figurines and other peripheral products related to League of Legends. Just looking at it would make one's eyes light up.
In any case, Lin Feng's eyes were shining brightly at this moment.
"Steamed Bun, you're so good!"
"I can't believe you found it in a place like this!"
An Xin accepted all the compliments with a smile. "Of course. Don't you know who I am? Such a small matter can be easily settled by me."
Lin Feng's eyes never left the display case. He couldn't contain his excitement.
"This big-chested zither girl is so cool!"
"Oh yeah, and this Gunner figurine! It's so exquisite! "
"Hey, I want EZ's Future Warrior too!"
"Oh, and this!"
Lin Feng turned his head to An Xin and asked: "Can I buy all of these?"
An Xin raised an eyebrow. "Are you picking out toys for yourself or gifts for Tang Tang?"
Lin Feng hugged a Jinx pillow and confidently replied, "I think Tang Tang will like all of these!"
Smack! — —
Lin Feng's head was knocked on the back of the head.
"Idiot, go and choose something suitable for Tang Tang!"
Holding his head in his hands, Lin Feng finally obediently went to pick out a gift. But being in such an ML themed store still made him feel incomparably excited. After a while, he began to shout and shout again and again, marveling at some of the exquisite and innovative peripheral products.
The other customers in the store couldn't help but turn to look at him.
An Xin, on the other hand, dodged to the side, pretending she didn't know Lin Feng, but pretending was useless. From time to time, Lin Feng would pick up a small item and turn to her. "Steamed Bun, look at this! It's cool too!"
The other customers in the store turned to look at the girl.
Of course, they were stunned at first glance.
She's so pretty!
The veins on An Xin's forehead throbbed. She took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile. "It's fine. You can look for yourself. You don't have to call me."
(I knew it would be like this!)
An Xin shook her head helplessly.
(This idiot is still acting like a child.)
She looked at Lin Feng, who was still excitedly looking at the displays. Suddenly, An Xin's facial expression softened. She looked at Lin Feng, who was still excitedly looking at the displays.
… …
In the end, the gifts were decided.
Lin Feng bought two gifts for Tang Bingyao. One was a Jinx figurine that was 18 centimeters tall, and the other was something related to Draven that he insisted on buying.
"Tang Tang will definitely like this!"
Lin Feng made a solemn vow when he asked the shop owner to wrap the gift.
Apart from Lin Feng, An Xin also picked out a T-shirt for Tang Bingyao. It was a cartoon white T-shirt with a picture of a cute Teemo printed on it. It looked very cute and matched Tang Bingyao's temperament.
"Oh, this is cool too!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
"Buy me one too, Steamed Bun! I want the robot one! "
"That's Tang Tang's birthday gift. You don't even have a birthday yet. Why are you so excited?"
Lin Feng sighed. "Alright … Then remember to get me one for my birthday."
An Xin: "Let's wait until your birthday ~"
Lin Feng was delighted. "Alright! Then it's a deal! I'll get you one for your birthday too! "
My … birthday?
An Xin's thoughts seemed to be dragged away in an instant. She paused for a moment and then smiled.
"Mhm, it's a deal."
… …
After shopping and buying gifts, Lin Feng generously invited An Xin to dinner. It was almost 9 pm by the time An Xin was done.
The curtain of night fell silently.
The city was lit up by the lights of thousands of homes. The streets were bustling with activity.
Lin Feng thanked An Xin with a satisfied look on his face.
"Thanks, Steamed Bun.
"Today's mission is complete!"
An Xin pouted. "You think you can just thank me after helping you for so long?"
Lin Feng scratched his head. "I even treated you to dinner."
An Xin raised an eyebrow. "That's because you agreed. You should've treated me anyway."
"Pfft! What else do you want me to do?" Lin Feng protested.
An Xin tilted her head. She pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Forget it. You owe me big time anyway. You'll have to pay me back later."
Lin Feng didn't seem to care at all. "Oh, alright. You can tell me when you've thought about it."
Their homes were in different directions, so the two waved goodbye at opposite ends of the subway station.
… …
Lin Feng opened the door with her key and walked home. She lowered her head and put on her slippers. An Xin's parents looked up from the living room.
"Steamed Bun, you're back?"
"Where did you go so late at night?"
Their voices were filled with concern.
An Xin looked up and smiled. "I was helping Lin Feng buy a birthday present for his classmate. That idiot doesn't even know how to buy a present. He needs my advice."
An Xin's father nodded. "Oh, Lin Feng! I was wondering why you went out so late at night. I'm relieved it's that kid. "
An Xin's mother also laughed. "Lin Feng, that kid. It's been a while since we've seen each other. Steamed Bun, when are you going to tell him to come over to our house for dinner? I'll cook some good dishes for him."
An Xin's father laughed. "Yeah. That kid loves your mom's sweet and sour fish. Let him come over next time!"
Back then, Lin Feng and An Xin were childhood sweethearts. Lin Feng often went to An Xin's house to eat. Therefore, An Xin's parents were very fond of Lin Feng.
An Xin smiled and nodded. "Okay. I'll tell him you miss him."
She paused for a moment, stretched her back, yawned, and added, "Don't worry.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going back to my room to rest."
"I spent the whole night shopping with Lin Feng. I'm so tired."
An Xin's mother reminded her with concern.
"Go take a bath first. You'll feel better if you soak in hot water. Your body is —"
Before she could finish, An Xin waved her hand.
"I know. I'm going to bed for a while. I'll take a bath."
While speaking, An Xin stretched her body and walked toward her bedroom.
"This kid …" An Xin's mother shook her head.
An Xin's father comforted her with a smile. "Don't worry too much. Steamed Bun, going out for a walk is a good thing."
"But —" An Xin's mother wanted to say something, but she didn't finish her words. Her eyes were faintly carrying a trace of unspeakable worry.
Walking through the hallway to her bedroom, An Xin suddenly felt a little dizzy. Her body seemed to have gone limp, and she almost stumbled and fell.
"Steamed Bun?"
In the living room, Father An and Mother An heard the commotion and asked.
"Don't worry. I'm fine."
An Xin replied with a smile to reassure her parents. She held onto the railing beside the corridor and felt that her body was too weak to move. She used a little bit of strength to prop herself up. After a moment of silence, she gently shook her head.
(Tonight … was really tiring.)
