Chapter 50

As she finished her sentence, she saw Lu Jingzhe walk in, carrying a bag in his hand.

Mai Miao took a few steps to Lu Jingzhe and started to complain indignantly:

“Jingzhe brother, He Shanshan bullied your wife again, and she mocked her for not having new clothes.”

Lu Jingzhe listened to Mai Miao’s words, looked at the few people in the room, and quickly understood what was going on. He glanced at He Shanshan and said coldly:

“Who said she doesn’t have new clothes.”

Then he walked to Xia Qingning’s side and handed her the bag.

Xia Qingning was a little puzzled. She reached out and took the bag from Lu Jingzhe.

Mai Miao, who was beside her, was even more excited. She urged:

“Qingning, open it quickly and see.”

As the bag opened, the clothes inside were revealed. There were light green with white flowers, white with light green flowers, and a light pure green. They were all exceptionally fresh and elegant.

“Wow, Jingzhe brother actually bought so many.” Mai Miao exclaimed in a timely manner, then helped Xia Qingning take the dresses out of the bag.

The dresses were soft and had a great drape. The skirts were large and flowing. As soon as they were taken out, they looked like blooming bellflowers. There were four in total, each with a different style, but they all had green in common.

Xia Qingning was a little surprised. These were the georgette dresses she couldn’t afford to buy yesterday.

Seeing them made Mai Miao so happy, she immediately showed the dresses to He Shanshan. She stood tall and proud, very smug:

“Didn’t you say Qingning doesn’t have new clothes? Look, forty yuan each, Jingzhe brother bought four for Qingning at once. Haha… envious? Jealous?”

He Shanshan was naturally envious. Not only her, but Wang Mingfang and Yao Hongmei’s eyes also widened.

“Who cares.” He Shanshan pouted and said softly.

It seemed like everything was against her today. Knowing that if she stayed any longer, she would only lose more face, she turned around and went back to her room.

As she walked, she muttered: “It’s just a few dresses. Someone will buy them for me too in a few days.”

Her blind date was so successful today, she could confirm things with that Xiao Wu in the next two days. Then she would ask him to buy her a few dresses. It wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Looking at her retreating back, Mai Miao felt very happy. She pulled Xia Qingning’s arm and winked, very smug.

“Go try them on and see if they fit. You can exchange them if they don’t fit.” Lu Jingzhe looked at Xia Qingning and said in a deep voice.

Xia Qingning nodded and was about to go to her room when Mai Miao seemed to suddenly remember something:

“I’ll go with you. My makeup stuff is still in your room.”

Xia Qingning remembered that she hadn’t let her take it when she left in the afternoon, so she said:

“Yeah, come in and get it.” Then she picked up the bag and went to the room with Mai Miao.

Mai Miao was packing her things while she couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Qingning, I’m so envious of you. Jingzhe brother is so good to you! He knew you didn’t buy that dress yesterday, so he specially asked me what kind of dress it was.

I told him it was light green georgette. Unexpectedly, he went out and bought you four! My goodness, it’s almost two hundred yuan! I can’t even imagine it.”

Xia Qingning didn’t expect Lu Jingzhe to be so generous. To be honest, she was also surprised. She asked softly:

“Did he really ask you specifically?”

“Yeah. Humph! If He Shanshan hadn’t messed things up, I wouldn’t have said it beforehand. It ruined the surprise.” Mai Miao said indignantly, then she regained her envious look and suddenly leaned close to Xia Qingning’s ear and asked softly:

“Qingning, tell me, what did you do to make Jingzhe brother like you so much and be so good to you?”

“You see He Shanshan has a bicycle, but you don’t, so he immediately buys you a more expensive and better one. As soon as He Shanshan says you don’t have any new clothes, he immediately goes to the department store and buys you several sets.”

Xia Qingning was stumped. It was true that he was good to her, but she couldn’t say he liked her. Besides, she didn’t do anything special. So she told the truth:

“I don’t know, I don’t think I did anything.”

“Don’t lie to me. If you didn’t do anything, why haven’t you seen him being good to anyone else, only to you?” Mai Miao obviously didn’t believe her. Then her eyes suddenly rolled and she looked at the bed next to her, smiling with a hint of ambiguity:

“Haha, you don’t know what you did, but I do.”

Xia Qingning wasn’t stupid. Seeing her expression and tone, she naturally knew what she was referring to. But her relationship with Lu Jingzhe was pure revolutionary friendship, clean and innocent, not crossing the line. But it was not convenient to explain to Mai Miao now, so she didn’t say anything, which could be considered a default.

Mai Miao thought she was right. Looking at Xia Qingning, she smiled more ambiguously and said with some longing:

“When will I meet a man who’s so good to me?”

Xia Qingning smiled, half-jokingly, half-seriously, and said:

“Soon, maybe it’ll happen in the next two days.” Then she said seriously to Mai Miao:

“Remember to dress up beautifully when you go out these two days.”

Mai Miao asked with some confusion: “Why?”

Xia Qingning smiled and didn’t explain too much. She gave Mai Miao a more attractive reason:

“To make He Shanshan jealous of you every day.”

After Mai Miao left, Xia Qingning started to try on the clothes Lu Jingzhe bought for her.

Perhaps it was the natural sharpness and extraordinary observation skills of a soldier, every dress Lu Jingzhe bought fit her perfectly.

Looking at this pile of green dresses, Xia Qingning guessed that Mai Miao should have only told Lu Jingzhe that they were light green dresses. When he went to the store and saw those dresses, he wasn’t sure which one it was, so he simply bought all the light green ones.

In this era, he actually spent two hundred yuan on clothes!

Well, sure enough, the male leads in novels are all the same, so generous!

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xia Qingning walked over and opened it.

The moment the door opened, Lu Jingzhe was stunned. He saw the charming girl in front of him wearing a green floral dress, her face was gentle and delicate, her neck was long and white, a few strands of hair were scattered on her collarbone, and her waist was slender and graceful.

She usually wore gray work clothes. Suddenly changing into a beautiful dress, Lu Jingzhe was a little unaccustomed. He cleared his throat unconsciously and walked in, asking:

“Does it fit?”

“Yeah, it’s good.” Xia Qingning replied truthfully.

“That’s good.” Lu Jingzhe nodded slightly.

Looking at the man in front of her, recalling what Mai Miao said, Xia Qingning suddenly felt a little touched. Thinking about it carefully, Lu Jingzhe had bought her more than just a car and clothes.

When she was sick, he fed her, bought her expensive malted milk to nourish her body, gave her pocket money, and taught her how to ride a bicycle…

On the other hand, it seemed like she had only given him a porcelain basin and a towel, and she bought them with his money.

Why was he so good to her?

Xia Qingning was also puzzled.

If she needed a logical reason, either Lu Jingzhe was rich and generous, or he liked her.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Qingning decided to test him.
