He had a failed relationship before, and it seems that none of the things he gave women were the type they would like.

Thinking of this, he made a special call to Su Nuannuan and asked her to come to the mall.

After Su Nuannuan rushed over, she unleashed a torrent of abuse on Xu Tian.

"You jerk, you're not coming home anymore, are you?!"

"You didn't even tell me you weren't coming home. Do you know how worried I would be!"

"This isn't a hotel. If you stay out all night again, you're moving out!"

She stood with her hands on her hips, but her eyes held a barely perceptible tenderness and worry. Seeing this, Xu Tian felt a mix of emotions and could only manage a guilty smile.

"Don't think I won't dare. If you keep doing this, I'll really kick you out!"

Xu Tian hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely tell you next time, alright?"

Su Nuannuan's eyes widened. "There's going to be a next time?"

Xu Tian smiled wryly. He and Chu Lan had just confirmed their relationship and were inseparable. Things like not going home would happen frequently in the future.

He had always treated Su Nuannuan as a younger sister, and always felt awkward talking to her about such things.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian could only laugh it off and say, "Nuan Nuan has grown up and has started to take care of her brother."

Su Nuannuan snorted, "Who said you're my brother? I never admitted it!"

As she spoke, a blush crept onto Su Nuannuan's face, and she became quite shy. Her feelings for Xu Tian were far from innocent...

Xu Tian laughed, "I wonder who it was that followed me around like a baby, calling me 'brother' all the time."

"Alright, alright, what did you call me to the mall for? I have a ton of things to do at the company."

Su Nuannuan deliberately avoided this topic.

Xu Tian then told her about wanting to buy a gift for Chu Lan, but he didn't directly clarify their relationship.

Su Nuannuan looked at him suspiciously, "When did you start liking to flatter people like that?"

Su Nuannuan was unaware that their relationship had changed and naturally assumed that Xu Tian was trying to curry favor with Chu Lan.

Xu Tian explained, "Putting aside the fact that we already knew each other, remember how much she helped me during the recruitment at Jiangda University? If it weren't for her, I might still be stuck in there now."

Su Nuannuan thought about it and realized it made sense; she owed them such a big favor, and she had to repay it.

"So you're just going to buy a gift? That's so insincere! A gift alone isn't enough!"

Xu Tian was ashamed; the woman's expression changed faster than a book.

Despite saying that, Su Nuannuan still accompanied Xu Tian from shop to shop, but...

Xu Tian looked at the shops he was going in and out of, all of which sold plush toys, and he became a little worried.

It seems he's contacted the wrong person?

Would Chu Lan, at his age, like dolls?

Thinking this, Xu Tian saw Su Nuannuan come out carrying a bunch of large plush toys, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Who...who is this gift for?!

Xu Tian looked at the dolls with a headache and fell into deep thought.

"What are you standing there for? Don't underestimate them, these are all collaboration models, they're very expensive!"

Xu Tian couldn't help but sigh, "How expensive can a few dolls be?"

Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him, "This one costs three thousand, that one costs over seven thousand..."

Xu Tian hurriedly covered his pocket, "How much did you say?"

“I’ve already paid the money. Consider this three thousand yuan a gift from me. Transfer the seven thousand yuan to me, and I’ll consider it a gift from you!” Su Nuannuan said.

Helpless, Xu Tian had no choice but to leave the mall carrying two large plush toys in full view of everyone.

"Just put them in the trunk!" Xu Tian felt annoyed just looking at those two things.

"Ugly thing..."

"What did you say?" Su Nuannuan turned around and questioned.

Xu Tian quickly put on a smiling face, "I said these two dolls are so cute, Chu Lan will definitely like them!"

Xu Tian emphasized the last few words, but Su Nuannuan didn't hear them and continued speaking to herself.

"Absolutely."

After putting away the plush toys, Su Nuannuan got into the car.

Xu Tian sighed the whole way, refusing to believe that Chu Lan could like such an ugly thing!

Su Nuannuan thought he was worried about his wallet, and kindly comforted him.

"Oh, don't worry about the money. From now on, as long as I have a bowl of rice to eat, you'll have a bowl to wash!"

Xu Tian gave a dry smile. "Thank you."

After sending Su Nuannuan back to the company, Xu Tian couldn't wait to call Zhao Jing again.

"I'm decorating my new house, why don't you come over and talk to me?"

"It's not the Zhao family's home, it's my new home after I ran away from home!"

Before hanging up the phone, Zhao Jing gave some special instructions.

Xu Tian arrived at his new home, and Zhao's mother opened the door.

"Come find Jing'er, she's upstairs in her room, go in quickly."

Zhao's mother looked expectant, as if she really wanted Xu Tian to go up.

Xu Tian felt a little embarrassed. With his elders present, it wasn't appropriate for him, a grown man, to go up like that.

Zhao's mother seemed to see Xu Tian's concerns and laughed, "It's okay, Auntie is very open-minded. But Auntie is old, and we can't compete with the things you young people do."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian's face flushed red. What did he mean by "playing with things"? What had he been playing with...?

"Go on up, Auntie promises not to bother you!"

Under Zhao's mother's coaxing and cajoling, Xu Tian went upstairs and entered Zhao Jing's room.

Zhao Jing was organizing the things she bought at the mall yesterday when she saw Xu Tian come in and pulled him to sit on the bed.

The bed was piled with all kinds of underwear, some of which had fewer loose threads than Xu Tian's clothes. With so little fabric, what could it possibly cover?

"Which one do you like?" Zhao Jing stared straight at him.

Xu Tian didn't react for a moment, "Huh?"

Zhao Jing pouted, "So, which one do you prefer me to wear?"

Xu Tian blushed under the incredulous gaze, and couldn't help but imagine Zhao Jing's face as Chu Lan's perspective.

Ahem... As a man, he would definitely choose one with fewer loose threads than his own clothes!

Although it was somewhat ironic, he couldn't imagine how crazy he would feel if Chu Lan wore these things.

"I'm talking to you, what are you spacing out for!" Zhao Jing looked at him with displeasure.

"Hey! You're not thinking about other women while you're with me, are you?"

Zhao Jing looked at him as if she wanted to devour Xu Tian.

Xu Tian snapped out of his daze and casually pointed to a body.

Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment, then picked up the piece of fabric that Xu Tian pointed to, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

"So you like cosplay!"

Hearing her say that, Xu Tian realized that the fabric he had pointed to in his panic was actually...

Ahem...

"What I mean is, you can wear whatever you want, I can't see it anyway!"

Zhao Jing's expression changed instantly, and she threw the fabric at Xu Tian's head. "I'd like to wear it for you to see, can you give me a chance?"

Xu Tian awkwardly took the cloth off his head. "Stop fooling around, I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Tell me, give me a chance, and I can become Cardcaptor Sakura!"

Zhao Jing persisted.
