Mi Qing froze for a moment, and looked up dumbly: "Why is this dress with you?"
Xiao Gu: "I bought it."
Mi Qing's head "quacked" again, but Xiao Gu's three simple words made her digest for a long time: "You......bought it? Why are you buying women's clothes?"
It can't be that he is a transvestite, right?
Mi Qing shivered, the idea is too heavy.
The corners of Xiao Gu's mouth pursed uncomfortably as he glanced to the side, as nonchalant as he could muster as he said, "You can sell these clothes even at such a loss? I can't hold it in at all."
Mi Qing: "..."
So, he felt that she had lost...too badly? Not only did Boss Xiao refuse to suffer himself, but he also feels uncomfortable watching others eat a loss.
She pursed her lips and opened the paper bag and asked, "So how much did you pay for it?"
Xiao Gu: "Three thousand." After buying the clothes back with three thousand yuan, his heart finally felt at peace.
Mi Qing froze, and she felt a sudden surge of admiration for him: "How did you buy it so cheaply? I remember the seller pricing it for six thousand!"
Xiao Gu quite proudly smirked: "Trade secret."
Mi Qing: "..."
She wrinkled her nose and then muttered, "Then why did you buy it and only now thought of giving it to me?"
When the question was out in the open, Xiao Gu's expression changed back to the uncomfortable one he had at first: "I just bought it on impulse, I didn't buy it for you specifically."
Mi Qing let out a sigh and smiled at him, "So you're giving it to me now? I won't pay you back."
Xiao Gu's eyebrows flicked before he said, "Today is Christmas."
Mi Qing sized him up and said, "Are you Santa?"
The corners of Xiao Gu's mouth twitched as he replied, "I don't wear women's clothes." Ending the conversation at that, he turned and left. Mi Qing stared at his back, and carried the bag back into the room.
She took the coat out of the bag and examined it meticulously. The coat was as smooth as it could be, as if it had just been ironed, and the buttons hadn't fallen off, intact as it is.
She happily slipped her coat on and looked in the mirror. It's beautiful!
She twirled in front of the mirror again, and then heard the muffled buzzing of her phone on the bed. Mi Qing picked it up, it was a text from Zhou Yiran: "Feeling better now?"
Mi Qing replied: "Much better, I'm so sorry today."
Rabbit gege: It's okay, contact me before your next off ^_^
Mi Qing looked at this message and froze for a moment. After a while, she pressed her fingertip against the screen, "Why is your username Mr. Rabbit?"
Watching the "whoosh" of the progress bar that was prompted by the text message, Mi Qing's heart was as tight as a clockwork.
She stared at the phone screen breathlessly, waiting for Zhou Yiran's reply.
Rabbit gege: Because you like bunnies.
The clockwork on her heart strings suddenly loosened, and her heartbeat drummed like thunder.
Zhou Yiran took the name Mr. Rabbit because she liked rabbits; however, she thought Zhou Yiran was the rabbit-eared little hero who saved her, so she got obsessed with bunnies.
