Lin Beichen took it and looked at it, quite satisfied.
Urged by Xia Luyao, he was about to go to the fitting room to try it on.
However, before he could enter, Rachel came over.
"Lin Beichen, how do you find the color of this shirt? I think it suits you well." Rachel held the dark green shirt in her hand and compared it against Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen looked at the color, feeling a bit speechless.
Does this color really suit him?
Considering Rachel's enthusiastic expression, he didn't feel right to refuse, so he took the shirt along to the fitting room to try it on.
The store staff watched the trio's interactions, keeping a distance, amazed.
It was their first time seeing someone brave enough to shop with two girlfriends at once, and these two girls got along quite harmoniously, even helping him pick clothes, showing no signs of quarreling.
This made the male customers in the store envious; they never thought they would witness such a scene in their lifetime, truly making them feel envious and bitter!
Yet, what they couldn't guess was that Lin Beichen himself was feeling a bit of a headache.
After trying on the clothes, he watched the two still selecting clothes for him and couldn't help but say: "You two go and pick your own clothes, no need to mind me, I'll choose mine myself."
"This is a men's store, what do we pick?" Xia Luyao looked at him oddly.
Rachel nodded in agreement: "Exactly, this is a men's store, we're naturally picking for you."
Lin Beichen sighed helplessly: "I usually wear military uniforms, rarely these. Buying these two is enough, let's go quickly."
"But it's so rare…" Xia Luyao started to speak further, but Lin Beichen interrupted: "Didn't you say you were hungry? Let's quickly go eat, move along."
Xia Luyao looked puzzled: "When did I say I was hungry?"
"Trust me, you did say it. Let's go quickly."
With that, he grabbed Xia Luyao and headed out, Rachel hurried to follow.
Ten minutes later, Lin Beichen settled them down at a hotpot restaurant.
Sitting alone on one side, he let Xia Luyao and Rachel sit across from him.
After handing out the menu, he finally took a breath, raising his glass to moisten his throat.
However, just as he lifted the cup, Rachel asked: "Lin Beichen, do you eat beef?"
"Yes." He nodded in response and continued sipping his water.
Next, Xia Luyao asked: "Lin Beichen, do you eat shrimp paste?"
"Yes." He nodded again.
When he tried to drink water again, Rachel asked: "Lin Beichen, do you eat tripe?"
He took a deep breath and said: "You don't have to ask, I'm not picky. Order whatever you want."
Only after hearing this did the two stop asking and began to order dishes.
Watching them settle down, Lin Beichen could finally drink water at ease.
He chuckled wryly inside, wondering why it was so hard to have a sip of water!
After ordering, Rachel suddenly said: "Oh, Lin Beichen, I don't have your contact info. Let's add each other on WeChat so we can stay in touch."
Lin Beichen replied: "My WeChat ID is my phone number."
"Then tell me your number, I'll jot it down." Rachel took out her phone to record.
Just as Lin Beichen was about to share his number, he accidentally noticed Xia Luyao's somewhat odd expression, and his heart tensed.
Lin Beichen suddenly remembered a crucial point, their guard district strictly prohibits phone use.
And sitting before him, Xia Luyao was not just his young apprentice, but also the captain of the special forces.
If he openly exchanged WeChat numbers in front of her, wouldn't that be revealing he had secretly kept a phone?
Thus, shrewdly, Lin Beichen said: "We're not allowed to use phones in the military, I haven't used mine for ages, completely forgot my number."
Rachel, shocked, asked: "You can't even remember your own phone number?"
She couldn't believe someone could forget their phone number in this day and age.
"Truly, haven't used it for so long, completely forgot." Lin Beichen nodded earnestly at Rachel's incredulity, with an extremely sincere expression.
After speaking, he caught Xia Luyao's calm face with a faint smile at her mouth corners, seemingly satisfied with his actions.
He relaxed inside, even though he wasn't scared of the guard district's penalties, Xia Luyao, this young apprentice, wasn't to be trifled with; if she caught him with evidence, he'd definitely be in trouble.
However, what he didn't expect was that Xia Luyao was happy simply because he didn't share his WeChat with Rachel, not considering whether he secretly kept a phone.
Since Lin Beichen put it that way, Rachel couldn't say much more.
Just at that moment, their pot base and dishes arrived, and Lin Beichen quickly urged the two to eat, wrapping up the previous topic.
Throughout the meal, Lin Beichen felt utterly drained.
The two girls opposite kept offering him food, almost feeding him directly.
He regretted a lot, thinking he shouldn't have come out today.
Several customers at surrounding tables watched them curiously, especially the group of guys opposite, full of envy.
"Oh my, look at that guy, two beauties taking turns to serve him, what an Immortal's day he's living!"
"Couldn't even dream of such a scene this lifetime, yet he experiences it for real."
"Are these two girls both courting him? It's really envy-inducing!"
"Stop envying, you're not as handsome as him, you won't enjoy such blessings!"
Those guys sighed deeply in agreement, feeling disappointed, even finding the hotpot in their pot less appetizing.
