Chapter 393: What a Coincidence

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under normal circumstances, Jin Long would have casually pulled out his wallet to pay for Su Shen, knowing well that the wealthy Su Shen wouldn’t not pay him back.

However, the current situation was anything but normal. Two grown men shopping in a lingerie store was already pushing the boundaries of convention, but to have Su Shen ask him to pay was downright scandalous!

Feeling the judgmental and curious gazes of the surrounding shoppers, Jin Long decided to abandon any pretense of dignity. He quickly pulled out his wallet and tossed it to Su Shen, standing at a distance as if they were strangers.

Yet, the onlookers had already made their own assumptions. They were shocked to find that the more masculine and imposing of the two men was the submissive one. The revelation was nothing short of thrilling!

Some of the women couldn’t help but let their eyes wander to Su Shen’s firm buttocks and slender waist. Even if she were a man, she would have been attracted to him! Others looked at Su Shen’s handsome profile with a sense of regret.

Throughout all this, Su Shen remained unfazed by the attention. He walked with long strides, paid the bill, and left the store with a calm and composed demeanor. His actions were so natural, so masculine, that it was as if he had done nothing out of the ordinary.

But what a waste! Such a tall and handsome man, carrying a pink bag from a women’s lingerie store, walking towards his “boyfriend” Jin Long. Jin Long felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of being mistaken for a homosexual. His hand trembled as he took back his wallet from Su Shen.

Jin Long quickened his pace, leaving the lingerie store behind Su Shen. As they exited, a familiar figure was about to enter the store. Not wanting to miss the chance to run into Gong Xin, Jin Long hastily greeted her, “What a coincidence, Gong Xin!”

Gong Xin stopped in her tracks, momentarily taken aback. Why were Su Shen and Jin Long coming out of a lingerie store? For a moment, she thought that Gu Zi might follow them out, but she confirmed that Gu Zi wasn’t there.

Looking at the surrounding people’s gazes, Gong Xin instantly understood the awkwardness of the situation. What were Su Shen and Jin Long thinking? Didn’t two grown men in a lingerie store find it embarrassing?

Gong Xin’s gaze turned distant as she laughed and said, “I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not Gong Xin, haha.”

With that, Gong Xin hurriedly entered the lingerie store, silently apologizing in her heart: Sorry, Brother Jin Long, your ideas are too progressive. Let’s pretend we don’t know each other today!

Jin Long watched as the silhouette vanished in a mere second, his heart nearly shattering. He no longer cared about the gazes around him, catching up to Su Shen to voice his protest, “Damn it, Su Shen, you owe me for emotional distress!”

Su Shen, holding a small pink bag, glanced back at him. Finally, he responded, “Why don’t you let Lin Cheng take over your social obligations for the next few days?”

Jin Long was speechless. He now understood what it meant to have a brother in adversity. He, Jin Long, was indeed Su Shen’s steadfast comrade in hardship.

In the Su family’s home in Daqing Village, Gu Zi didn’t rise until late in the morning. However, a good sleep had revitalized her. After breakfast, she began to clean the house, then the pigeon coop, where she could also collect some pigeon eggs.

The pigeons Su Shen had bought were laying eggs, so almost every day, she could collect three or four pigeon eggs. Gu Zi stored them away, not yet starting to eat them.

After watching their mother finish cleaning the pigeon coop, Su Bing and Su Li decided to head out. Su Li handed their little sister, Su Le, to their mother, saying, “Mom, my brother and I are going fishing.”

Gu Zi took Su Le, feeling that her sons had helped look after their sister all morning. It was time for them to have some fun. She reminded Su Li and Su Bing to be careful. The brothers, confident and prepared, grabbed their homemade fishing gear and headed out with high spirits.

Gu Zi made some yam and taro mash cakes for Su Le. While resting in the courtyard, her gaze fell on a patch of unused land next to the clay oven. Gu Zi thought it could be put to good use by planting some herbs like mint, fennel, and cilantro.

She remembered that these plants were available in the neighboring Aunt Zhang’s garden, and she could buy the seedlings from her.

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Zi decided to visit Aunt Zhang’s house right away to discuss this matter. It would also be a good opportunity to take Su Le
