Originally, Gu Zuo felt that, because his family’s big brother was too handsome, it created an insurmountable obstacle for the two of them to date. As a result, he directly cancelled the second dating venue, and moved on to the third… As for what the third stop would be, it would undoubtedly be an indoor activity.
But the selection range for indoor activities wasn’t that wide.
Would they go to an aquarium?
Ah, there would certainly be lots of people at the aquarium today.
If not, should they go straight to the movie theater? It would be very dark inside… But the movie tickets they reserved were for the evening! If they went at this time, would there still be any tickets available? In addition, buying tickets was a technical job, and they couldn’t waste the whole day watching movies!
Hence, Gu Zuo, who originally said “We’ll go indoors!” in a confident and self-assured tone, suddenly wilted the very next instant.
Life was truly hard.
Why was he making so many mistakes on this date…
Tianheng instinctively ruffled Gu Zuo’s hair. Ah, he carelessly messed up the hairstyle. After that, he put his hand away as if nothing happened: “Ah Zuo, what’s giving you a hard time?”
Gu Zuo eyed Tianheng with a plaintive glance: “I’m thinking about how to hide big brother’s face…”
Tianheng restrained a smile. In the end, he couldn’t stand by and watch Gu Zuo’s miserable appearance. He reminded: “Maybe, Ah Zuo can use the psychic power he’s so good at.”
Gu Zuo: “! ! !”
Ah, right! After returning to the modern world, he obviously had been refining medicine the entire time. How could he have already forgotten about his own cheat-like abilities?!
His psychic power could completely shield their existences… Although he couldn’t be too flashy while in this world, there wouldn’t be any problem with covering his big brother’s face!
Gu Zuo blushed.
This time, it wasn’t because he was bashful. It was because he was embarrassed.
Shortly thereafter, the space between his brows swelled with power. A wisp of invisible energy emerged, and a thin layer was gently pasted onto Tianheng’s face. It didn’t negatively affect Tianheng in any way, but when other people looked over, their sights would become blurry, and they wouldn’t be able to see too clearly. They also wouldn’t be given a direct hit from that excessively handsome face.
After that, Gu Zuo said with embarrassment: “How about…we take a stroll and go shopping?”
Tianheng laughed softly: “Okay.”
Following which, the two confidently walked back onto the boulevard.
However, although his face was obscured, Tianheng’s tall and straight figure as well as his large and long legs were still on full display here. Thus, he still attracted people’s attention &#k2014; It wasn’t like Gu Zuo could conceal all of his big brother’s body, right? As a result, there was still a person or two who looked back to take a few more glances every now and then. But this time, it wasn’t as exaggerated as before.
Gu Zuo was relieved. His face was slightly warm as his hand quickly grabbed Tianheng’s…wrist. He said: “Big brother, let’s buy you some clothes first!”
Tianheng allowed Gu Zuo to take the lead. As they walked side by side, his voice became increasingly gentle: “Whatever Ah Zuo wants.”
On this pedestrian-only boulevard, there were many stores that sold luxury goods. However, these kinds of store fronts needed membership cards to enter. This was to protect the exclusivity of certain brand names.
Contrary to what one might expect, there were all kinds of cards in Gu Zuo’s possession — If nothing else, this was just the preparation of the local tyrant known as the Zhang Family.
At the present time, the store they entered was a famous store for male luxury clothes. The main focus was the apparel of young to middle-aged men. The fashion was in excellent taste.
Gu Zuo pulled Gongyi Tianheng to the store’s entrance. He flashed the card in his hand, and went through without a hitch. Because of the marvelous effects of the psychic power, although Tianheng’s height still caused the service staff at the door to take a few more glances, there weren’t any strange symptoms.
This delighted Gu Zuo.
Very quickly, the pair went to the second floor.
When Gu Zuo was in the other world, he was always provided for by his family’s big brother. Now that they had come to the modern world, because he had sold medicine for lots of money, he couldn’t help waving a hand in a somewhat rich and imposing way: “Big brother, whatever you want, I’ll buy it all for you!”
Tianheng was startled, but he soon laughed and said: “This elder brother doesn’t understand this place’s clothing very well. How about Ah Zuo buys something, and I’ll gladly accept it?”
Gu Zuo thought about it, and felt that this made sense. After that, his face reddened with excitement: “Okay!”
When it came to buying things for a beloved sweetheart, so long as there was enough capital, most men wouldn’t be stingy…
In this high-end men’s clothing store, there were all sorts of designer clothes with styles and temperaments that suited all men. What kind of temperament did Tianheng have? Gu Zuo silently looked at the clothing racks, and thought: No matter what clothing there is, so long as it’s expensive enough, it should fit big brother’s temperament.
It was because, from the moment he first met this big brother, he always felt that Tianheng looked very…noble. Even if what he wore was an ordinary brocade robe, it also had a similar feeling.
Hence, Gu Zuo didn’t bother about anything else. He started his search from the price tags of ten thousand yuan and above. While the fabrics of this world couldn’t compare to those types from the other world, they had a special and distinctive fashion. Thus, he chose the best materials. In case those didn’t work, he could pick the pattern and design of the fabric, and place an order in advance. Right now, he had enough confidence, and wasn’t worried about this problem at all.
Just from looking around, Gu Zuo felt that this place’s clothing style wasn’t bad. However, the fabric wasn’t truly good enough to leave him satisfied. If he placed orders for a type of newly-manufactured fabric, it would take a long time… After searching for a while, he bought a set of the most expensive luxury clothes in the store that were suitable for men in their twenties and thirties. And he purchased all kinds of designs for each set.
Fortunately, this store was relatively famous and well-stocked. Otherwise, based on his big brother’s height of 1.9 meters, even if there were shirts that fitted him, there weren’t necessarily any pants that did the same!
And in this store, there was always a set for every design…
After picking and choosing for some time, Gu Zuo settled on five sets of men’s clothes. As for other accessories, his current range of knowledge was vast. He always felt that this world’s diamonds, pearls, treasures, and precious stones couldn’t compare to the other world’s ores, which held all sorts of marvelous attributes and overflowed with brilliant lights and vibrant colors. Thus, he dropped the thought.
Once he swiped his card for a little more than two million yuan, Gu Zuo pulled Tianheng to the racks of another style of men’s clothing.
This type of style didn’t actually fit Tianheng. Instead, it suited Gu Qi.
Gu Zuo drew Tianheng to the side. He wanted to ask his family’s big brother to act as an advisor: “Big brother, how do you feel about dad wearing these suits?”
His big brother’s aesthetic tastes were certainly sharper than his own!
Tianheng gave a sweeping glance. He had already sized up these suits: “Does Ah Zuo remember Uncle Gu’s measurements?”
Gu Zuo nodded without the slightest hesitation: “I used to buy lots of clothes for dad in the past. Right now, he’s a little thinner, but I was able to make out his specific measurements.”
Tianheng faintly nodded his head: “All of these styles are rather fitting. We can buy all of them.”
Gu Zuo also gave his deep approval. He waved a hand, and called someone over: “I’ll have to trouble you to pack up those five sets over there as well as these five sets here, and have them delivered to the Zhang Residence on East Garden Road.”
The shop assistant here was a young lady who wore a close-fitting, western suit. Upon seeing Gu Zuo spending this much money, her features naturally blossomed into a smile. She extended a lily-white hand, and spoke in a tender voice: “Sir, please come with me to swipe your card.”
Gu Zuo gestured at Tianheng, and quietly said: “Big brother, don’t get too close. Wait for me over here.”
He was only half-joking. However, no matter how good the psychic power screen was, if Tianheng got too close, others would still be able to get a clear view of his facial features. Gu Zuo didn’t want to let his big brother give the people here a free show!
After swiping his card, he spent just over three million yuan. Gu Zuo grabbed Tianheng’s hand, turned around, and went to another high-end men’s clothing store. He still wanted to continue. As for these few sets of clothes? None of these were enough for his big brother and dad to wear for one week!
The following matters were clear and easy to see.
At the second men’s clothing store, Gu Zuo purchased another two million yuan’s worth of clothing. The third place was a shoe store, and he spent two million on shoes. The clothes displayed at the fourth store weren’t many, and the store front itself was rather concealed. After Gu Zuo took a look around, he chose a rarely-seen fabric, and paid a down payment of two million yuan, and ordered four complete sets of men’s clothes.
The fifth store, the sixth store…
When they arrived at the seventh store, Gu Zuo’s gaze happened to fall upon a set of men’s clothes.
These clothes were a grayish-black color. It had a simple, yet natural and relaxed style. It had a steady and mature temperament… It didn’t suit Tianheng or Gu Qi. And it suited Gu Zuo even less.
Tianheng suddenly understood something, and his hands gently pressed onto Gu Zuo’s shoulders: “Ah Zuo, rest assured.”
Gu Zuo blinked his eyes.
Tianheng gave a slight smile: “This elder brother will certainly allow you to have a family reunion.”
Gu Zuo smiled back: “En, I believe in big brother. I’ll also do my best.”
Soon after, Gu Zuo took this set of men’s clothes, and went to pay for it.
Just as he swiped his card, a person’s shadow appeared in front of him.
Gu Zuo raised his head.
He saw Tianheng walking over while carrying four or five sets of men’s clothes that bore a style that was light, but not ostentatious. His voice was gentle: “Ah Zuo needs to take proper care of himself, too.”
Gu Zuo’s heart warmed: “Okay, I will.”
