Chapter 7 - Sweetheart!

Ye Jiacheng was a handsome man . No matter the time period, thirty-five or twenty-five years old, his appearance always fitted in with the current beauty trends perfectly . Even a picky person had to admit that he was sharp and elegantly handsome .
Ye Jiacheng, the man Shi Jian had spent half a month thinking religiously about . She finally saw him again, and in such a sudden and pleasantly surprising manner . Adding on her flushed cheeks from blowing balloons all day, she nearly wanted to cry .
Sweetheart!
Ye Jiacheng walked in wearing a light grey cashmere turtleneck, his hair seemed to be recently cut, his neck slender and perfectly proportioned, his arms carried a jacket–– a white jacket . Shi Jian’s brow knitted, was it that warm outside? She looked at the jacket in his arms again, and saw a faint red stain on it .
Oh . So his jacket got dirty, and he wanted to buy a temporary replacement .
Yi Mao’s men’s apparel flagship store was holding a celebration activity today . There were many people coming and going, seeing many paunchy and picky clients . The young female shopping assistants were all irritated, so they all looked at the beautiful man walking into the store as if he was a refreshing breeze that drifted through the door .
Two young shopping assistants both stepped forward to help him out . Each saw the other’s intention, and hesitated on whether to allow the other to go to him . Shi Jian quickly put down the balloon in her hand, and said to the both of them, “I’ll handle this guest . ”
Being interrupted halfway, both assistants were stunned for half a second, and squeezed out a single word, “……okay . “
So, if you ever have some idea in your head, you must say it out loud quickly, otherwise the good things will all fall into the arms of the ones who are determined and ambitious, until you can only sigh frustratedly in your heart: why didn’t I say something earlier?
Only, they didn’t think that it would be the quiet Shi Jian who struck first……
Shi Jian was sent by the parent company, and didn’t receive many guests throughout the day, seeming like…… a pretty and aloof student intern . Unexpectedly, she was more seasoned than them .
Whatever, having the superiority of a thick face was innate; it couldn’t be envied .
Coming in from the main entrance, Ye Jiacheng walked on gleaming white oak floorboards . He selected a jacket that suited him, all while not paying attention to the fact that the shopping assistant walking towards him was one that had came up to him last time, the one that he was fated to meet . Shi Jian .
His left hand browsed through the newest men’s suit jackets on the front shelf, taking down a dusty blue cotton jacket . He calmly asked the “shopping assistant” behind him, “Does this one suit me?”
These were actually superfluous words, what does he wear that doesn’t suit him?

“I think it isn’t very good, not recommended . ” Shi Jian immediately answered from behind Ye Jiacheng, with brows curved, already displaying a sweet expression on her face .
“……” Ye Jiacheng suddenly turned around . His cold was not gone . Upon seeing Shi Jian, he uncontrollably coughed twice, then twitched the corner of his mouth disbelievingly .
He still recognized her .
Shi Jian took the initiative to greet him: “What a coincidence!”
“En . What a coincidence . ” Ye Jiacheng echoed .
Shi Jian pursed her lips and felt herself about to faint from joy, unexpectedly encountering Ye Jiacheng like this . Ye Jiacheng wasn’t from A City . He studied in A City for seven years, eventually staying here to expand, until he got married and started his career . Speaking of that, maybe she should find the time to go back to Qinglin City for a bit, to see her future grandparents . They treated her very well .
“Why is it not good?” Ye Jiacheng scrutinized her . The floor length mirror reflected his tall figure .
Why! Shi Jian took the dusty blue jacket from his hands, and let him feel the thickness of the cotton material . Once again acting like an old friend to a stranger, she said, “Feel this, it’s very thin . It’s only a few degrees outside, won’t you feel cold wearing this?”
Ye Jiacheng couldn’t refute that, and apathetically retracted his hand, because no matter what his answer was, it would be strange .
Contrasted to the relatively calm and collected Ye Jiacheng, the two other shopping assistants immediately hurried off . Yi Mao men’s apparel flagship store had a winter clothing section as well as a new spring arrival section, but the spring arrival section had no discounts . They all liked to recommend the spring designs to guests to increase profits .
So Shi Jian, what was she trying to do?
Yes . What was she trying to do? Ye Jiacheng slanted his gaze towards her, and walked across to the winter clothing section .
Shi Jian followed blindly behind him . After she married Ye JIacheng, all of his clothing was bought by her . Like how all women liked to manage their husbands, from Ye Jiacheng’s suits for formal occasions to his socks and underwear, all were selected by her . Ye Jiacheng had laughed that a life with a wife was certainly different . Then she had asked if he used to buy it all himself .
“Correct, bought blindly . ” Ye Jiacheng had replied .
Men really did buy things blindly . Shi Jian took out a long fleece windbreaker with lapels . From some blockbuster movie that came out this year, the handsome male protagonist had an influence on many things . For example, he was probably the reason why long windbreakers like this had a dramatic increase in sales .

Shi Jian felt certain that Ye Jiacheng would look good wearing this, handsome enough to show off . She didn’t think Ye Jiacheng would brag, but she wanted to see what he looked like wearing this jacket . In the end, she found his size .
The build of the Ye Jiacheng right now was about the same as him in the future, if a bit slimmer .
“This one, you will definitely look good wearing this . ” She said expectantly .
Ye Jiacheng accepted her recommendation . She stepped forward to help him try it on, a bit unsure where to put her excited hands . How much she wanted to touch him, to hug him as much as she liked . Ye Jiacheng let out a cough, almost as if he could see through to her enthusiastic face .
Shi Jian helped Ye Jiacheng tidy the collars . Yi Mao men’s apparel designs were very well fitting, and on a figure like Ye Jiacheng, it was as if the jacket was custom made for him . She felt very satisfied and exhaled, “How handsome……”
Ye Jiacheng: “……”
If this kind of comment slipped out too naturally, it would make people feel unsafe . Ye Jiacheng forcefully brushed aside her hand, “I can do it myself . ”
“En . ”
Ye Jiacheng stood in front of the mirror, and leisurely secured the buttons . It looked nice, and otherwise it was…… very warm .
“How much is it? He asked .
“5888 . ” The reply came from a different shopping assistant, who had observed them and could finally stick into the conversation .
How expensive! Shi JIan knitted her brow, looking a bit awkward at Ye Jiacheng .
What kind of expression is that! Ye Jiacheng smoothly averted his eyes, and said to the other shopping assistant, “I’ll take this . I will wear it out directly, bill please . ”
He made a decision that quickly? Shi Jian sneakily pulled at his clothing, and softly said, “Wait a moment . ”
Wait for what? Ye Jiacheng couldn’t respond in time, Shi Jian was already walking towards the store manager, and pointed at him saying, “Manager, he is…… one of my friends, can you give him a discount?”
The nearby Ye Jiacheng: “……”
The manager felt awkward, and wanted to avoid this question .
Shi Jian was all smiles, continuing to beg sincerely, and emotionally said, “Sister Fen, just allow this, be a bit flexible . He just started working, and still has to save up money to buy a house and woo a wife . Society has a lot of pressure on men these days, so they need to save when they can, am I right?”
Ye Jiacheng: “……” What does him marrying have anything to do with her .
“Okay, no problem . ” The manager agreed with this kind of reasoning .
Employees of Yi Mao men’s apparel could receive 45% off . At a brand like Yi Mao, even on a celebration event, the most you could receive was 20% off . You could save quite a bit at once .
Shi Jian turned around and winked at Ye Jiacheng: you still need a wife to pass your days, right?
Hehe . Ye Jiacheng walked over at a moderate pace . The manager started to write the bill . The other two shopping assistants felt relieved; it turned out this handsome customer was Shi Jian’s friend, no wonder she was so enthusiastic .
“Hello, sir . ” Sister Fen, the manager, walked with a smile, “I didn’t expect that you were Shi Jian’s friend . We will calculate your bill with the employee discount . Your total is 3238 . 4 yuan . Will you be paying with cash or credit?”
“Credit . ” Ye Jiacheng replied with an indifferent glance at Shi Jian . He took out a credit card from his wallet and handed it over, adding, “You don’t need to give me the employee discount, thank you . ”
Manager Fen: “……”
Shi Jian at the same time: “……” She really wanted to slap Ye Jiacheng to death!
Sister Fen was stunned for a few moments, then took the card that Ye Jiacheng held out, calculating the bill again .
Shi Jian felt depressed, silently taking out a bag and putting his original white jacket into it, then gave it to him . Ye Jiacheng left the store with his chin raised, exiting through the front entrance .
Dismayed .
“Are you two falling out?” A shopping assistant asked her .
Shi Jian didn’t know how to answer, and nodded . Then she thought of something, said, “I’m going out for a bit,” and chased after Ye Jiacheng’s silhouette . He had already walked some distance away, she shouted at his backside, “Ye Jiacheng!”
Ye Jiacheng turned around, deviating from the bustling flow of people .
Shi Jian suddenly felt scared, scared that Ye Jiacheng would immediately leave . Luckily, Ye Jiacheng didn’t really hate her, only lazily looked at her, as if he was waiting for her to come to him .
She felt somewhat relieved, smiled, and ran towards him .
“Hi . ” Shi Jian greeted, not really knowing what tone she should be using to speak to the present Ye Jiacheng . He definitely was one of the people she was most intimate with, yet she had to pretend to be a stranger .
“Is there something else?” Ye Jiacheng asked her .
“I……” Shi Jian paused, “I just saw that the stain on your white jacket is red ink . I just came to let you know, you can use alcohol to clean it off . You just use warm water to wet it, then scrub it with 10% alcohol . ”
Ye Jiacheng’s job incidentally needed him to draw diagrams, so his clothing would get stained occasionally . This solution was actually taught to her by their housekeeper . She didn’t know why she felt herself about to cry, her nose quivered .
“Okay, I got it, thanks . ” Ye Jiacheng replied, “Anything else?”
Yes, there was still a gigantic issue . Shi Jian raised her head, and asked the question she was most curious about: “Uh…… you and Song…… the girl from last time…… did you two break up yet?”
Her volume lowered, Shi Jian was annoyed again . How rash, she was too impatient . Indeed, Ye Jiacheng’s attitude was calm, already assuming a tight-lipped expression . The winter sunshine hit his cheek, making his face look dazzling .
It wasn’t that Ye Jiacheng didn’t want to say anything, he really was a bit helpless, facing this girl with her delicate gaze, refreshing and vibrant . How did this give rise to a stubborn disposition? It was too baffling . Even more baffling, his heart suddenly skipped a beat .
Shi Jian was still waiting, looking upwards, heart beating rapidly, eyes twinkling . Ye Jiacheng had told her, he and Song Xiao JIng didn’t date for very long at all .
Did he lie to her? She was anxious, up until he opened his mouth .
He said, “We split .
