New York!

In a Department store!

Xia Feng was looking to buy a lipstick for Yu Dong and was browsing at the cosmetics corner. The clerk recommended many colors, but Xia Feng didn't know which ones to buy so he stopped thinking so hard and called Yu Dong.

Yu Dong was currently on the bus to work. When she saw the caller ID she was surprised: "Xia Feng?"

"I'm buying lipstick for you but there's too many colors. What colors do you usually use?" Xia Feng asked.

Lipstick? "What lipstick?"

"Item 55 on your list." Xia Feng said.

"Oh!" Only then did Yu Dong remember. But then she released what was happening and couldn't believe it, asking: "You aren't actually....Are you buying me one of each everyday?"

"No, I'm buying your masks all in one go. If I buy those once a day, I'm afraid the clerk will scold me." Xia Feng said.

"Hah!" Yu Dong couldn't help but smile, "You bought everything on the list?"

"I've bought most of it."

"You're quite obedient." Yu Dong raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you ask me to buy it?" Xia Feng heard Yu Dong's disbelieving tone and asked, "You didn't just write this list casually to amuse me, did you?"

Thinking about it, while there were many things on the list, they had no specific brand, price or color. Most of the items only had one requirement: That they're good-looking.

"Of course not." Yu Dong tried to change the subject with a guilty heart. "Which counter are you in now?"

Xia Feng looked at the sign and said, "CHANEL."

"What color are they?"

Xia Feng picked up several colors recommended by the clerk and said, "The clerk said that colors 1, 2 and 11 are more popular this year..."

Yu Dong blinked and asked, "What's the date today? "

"Ha?" Xia Feng was stupefied, "November 6th."

"Then 11 and 6." Yu Dong didn't bother to be picky.

"Alright." Xia Feng picked the 2 colors and gave them to the clerk to be wrapped.

"You're not asking me why I chose those 2 colors?" Yu Dong asked.

Xia Feng was busy taking bills out of his wallet and carelessly answered: "Why?"

"Because today's the 6th of November."

"What does today's date have to do with anything?" Xia Feng was puzzled.

"Idiot!" Yu Dong couldn't help but scold him.

Xia Feng ended up being scolded, but he continued to ask, which resulted in Yu Dong hanging up on him.

At this time, the clerk handed the bag to Xia Feng, and he was about to leave.

"Xia Feng!" An An didn't expect to see Xia Feng in this shopping mall. Her expression showed genuine surprise.

Xia Feng saw An An coming towards him with another Asian girl.

Xia Feng stopped and waited for the girls to approach. After nodding at them he said, "What a coincidence!"

"Yeah, you came to shop too?" An An looked at the bag Xia Feng was holding."Are you Xia Feng? An An's boyfriend?" The woman next to An An asked with a smile.Xia Feng frowned, but didn't deny it in public. After all, this would make An An look bad."Xia Feng, this is my classmate CC, she's from Hong Kong." An An said, a little embarrassed."Hello," Xia Feng greeted her politely, "You speak Mandarin very well, I can't hear any accent at all!""I spent sometime in Chine when I was a child so my Mandarin isn't bad!" CC looked at the bad at Xia Feng's hand then smiled and said, "Is this a surprise for An An?"She then turned to An An and said, "Fortunately we bumped into each other, otherwise we would've bought too much."
