On their way to Little Sheep, they passed a store selling Apple products. Lin Jin immediately stopped and pulled Lin Chen inside.
"Let me buy you a phone, then you won't need Mom to buy you one" Lin Jin said casually as he entered the store. Looking at the various Apple iPhones and other electronic products like tablets displayed in the counter, he walked straight to the latest iPhone 7 and asked Lin Chen, "Are you comfortable using an iPhone? You haven't used an Android before, right? It should be easy to get used to."
"No need, Mom already told me she would buy me a phone after I graduate" Lin Chen said with a bitter smile as he was dragged by Lin Jin, feeling like someone who relies on others for a living. "Besides, isn't it better for you to keep your money for yourself?"
"I've been working part-time for so long just to buy you a phone, okay? I missed your birthday, so at least I should give you a birthday present" Lin Jin glanced at a salesperson approaching them and immediately asked with a smile, "How much is the iPhone 7 now?"
"The 32GB is 5,300, the 128GB is 6,100. Our counter's prices are almost a hundred cheaper than the official website" the salesperson, a beautiful girl in a white shirt uniform with a gentle and sweet smile on her face, said. She hadn't heard the conversation between Lin Jin and Lin Chen. "An iPhone is a great gift for a boyfriend. As for storage, usually 128GB is needed because 32GB doesn't hold much."
Boyfriend?
Lin Jin's smiling face immediately froze, and Wu Min, who had just followed him into the store, burst into laughter.
The salesperson looked utterly confused, not knowing what she had said wrong.
A man and a woman holding hands, and the woman planning to buy the man a phone, aren't they a couple? If not a couple, could they be siblings?
But they didn't look like siblings.
"Laugh your mom!" Lin Jin turned and glared fiercely at Wu Min. Turning back and coincidentally seeing Lin Chen looking at him, he immediately broke into a radiant, gentle smile, "Little brother, what color phone do you like? How about a 128GB? I'm pretty rich now after working part-time for a few months."
"No need, just spend the money you earned from your part-time job on yourself."
Seeing Lin Chen seemingly resistant to the idea of buying him a phone, Lin Jin frowned slightly, not understanding the reason. However, since Lin Chen was unwilling, Lin Jin could only sigh.
"Alright then" he shrugged nonchalantly and left the store with Lin Chen.
"I suddenly need to go to the restroom" Lin Jin said, pausing momentarily after leaving the store. He smiled at Lin Chen beside him, "I'll go to the restroom. You guys go ahead to Little Sheep and wait for me, okay? Send me the location when you get there."
"Wait for you?"
"No need" Lin Jin turned his head, giving Wu Min and Wen Xuan a meaningful look and wink. They immediately nodded subtly, showing they understood his signal.
"We'll go ahead. Lin Jin won't get lost" Wen Xuan quickly became friendly, tiptoeing to hook his arm around Lin Chen's neck, grinning, "We'll go order first. Lin Jin will join us soon."
Wu Min, almost the same height as Lin Chen, also hooked his shoulder, laughing along as they walked, "Exactly, Lin Jin is grown up and won't get lost. Won’t take long, let's go."
"But..."
Lin Chen wanted to resist, but he was pulled away by the two, helplessly looking back at the smiling Lin Jin.
Watching the three of them leave the mall arm in arm, Lin Jin didn't hesitate to return to the store. He bought a white iPhone 7, paid with a QR code in one go, and stuffed the phone in its white box into the bag he was carrying. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
But why would my brother refuse my gift?
Unable to figure it out even after pondering, Lin Jin didn't dwell on it further. He glanced at his tight pants and suddenly wanted to change back into his men's clothes in the restroom.
However, the restrooms in the mall are usually crowded, and even if not full, there are typically a few people around. Entering the women's restroom to change into men's clothes would lead to him being mistaken for a pervert when he comes out. And entering the men's restroom... he would probably be stared at by a bunch of men with strange looks even before he got in.
Perhaps he was still not comfortable with dressing as woman and speaking in a feminine voice?
Having purchased the phone, Lin Jin walked as if nothing had happened to the food street next to Wanda. He and his two roommates had been to this street twice and had noticed the Little Sheep restaurant before, so there was no issue of getting lost.
However, it seemed that a somewhat goofy person was staring at him and accidentally bumped their head into the transparent glass.
Well, just walking helped me progress in the task!
"Lin Jin, over here."
As soon as Lin Jin entered Little Sheep, he heard Wen Xuan's voice and turned to see the three of them sitting near the wall. He walked over and sat next to Lin Chen.
"Have you guys ordered yet?" Lin Jin asked with a casual smile, his sisterly tone becoming more and more practiced. Initially, his throat would feel uncomfortable after speaking in this voice for a long time, but now he was even starting to have difficulty distinguishing what his natural speaking voice was.
Lin Chen appeared a bit constrained. Although he now projected an outgoing and sunny image, his personality still seemed rather introverted.
"We just finished ordering, spent over two hundred" Wu Min said with a smile, looking at Lin Chen. "If your brother hadn't stopped us, we could have ordered three or four hundreds worth."
"No problem, if it's not enough, we can order more later."
That's my brother, even thinking of saving money for me.
After sitting down, Wen Xuan lost his earlier liveliness and kept staring at his phone, seemingly reading a post on some gaming forum. Besides being a sharp-tongued guy, his daily life seemed to revolve only around games and movies.
Lin Jin turned his gaze to Lin Chen, observing his resolute and rigid face. He poked Lin Chen's thigh with his finger, slightly displeased. When Lin Chen turned his head in confusion, Lin Jin asked, "Why do you look so unhappy? I haven't seen you talk much today."
"I'm just not used to it..." Lin Chen replied with a naive smile, "I'll get better in a couple of days."
"In a couple of days, you'll be leaving, right?" Lin Jin suddenly froze. Although Lin Chen had only arrived last night and they had spent just half a day together, he would be leaving again tomorrow afternoon, "Let's spend the whole day out today, okay? You're leaving tomorrow."
"Yeah" Lin Chen nodded.
"I'll come to visit you during my holidays, I'll just tell Dad I'm going for a part-time job" Lin Jin said with a smile, "My holiday is not far off anyway. By then, you'll probably still be in school, and I can just stay at home playing on your computer."
"Anyway, Mom won't let me play on the computer when I'm studying" Lin Chen's face brightened with a smile, clearly picturing the daily life when Lin Jin would come to visit him during the winter vacation.
