This single call brought Lin Qingyan’s wandering mind back. He hurriedly looked away and shifted his gaze to the green potted plant in the corner. He pursed his lips and whispered, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

But he knew that the base of his ears must be very red now. It must be because it was too hot here and he was sweating, so he changed the subject stiffly: “It’s so hot here, let’s go out first.”

Gu Fei still looked at him, “Answer me, what are you afraid of?” His deep and calm eyes were like an ocean, as if they could penetrate the surface and see into the depths of the young man’s heart..

Lin Qingyan knew that his abnormal reaction just now could not escape Gu Fei’s eyes. What he was afraid of things that didn’t really exist. What he feared more was the deep-seated, insecure, and weak side of himself.

Even when facing others’ gazes, he didn’t dare to lift his head.

Lin Qingyan’s eyes were complicated, with a hint of pain and vicissitudes that were inappropriate for his age. He gritted his teeth, his face was tense, and his fair cheeks were flushed, spreading to the tips of his ears, but he did not speak for a long time.

Gu Fei couldn’t help but raise his hand and touch his head gently. With a hint of comfort, he softly said sorry, “I was rude, you try on the clothes first.”

Without asking any further questions, Gu Fei turned around and left.

The moment the door was closed, Lin Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and placed it on the head that had been touched by the man just now, slightly dazed.

His heart was beating faster than usual.

He didn’t know whether it was because the man discovered his abnormality, or because of the almost ambiguous distance between the two and the low, magnetic “Yan Yan” that made him suddenly lost his composure.

Inside the fitting room, there was a full-length mirror. Lin Qingyan looked at himself in the mirror; his cheeks were flushed, and there was even a cold sweat on his forehead. The entire person seemed to be labeled with the word “disheveled.”

He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

Gu Fei, who was outside, was as calm as ever. Under the surprised and puzzled eyes of several shopping guides, he calmly came out of the fitting room and without changing his expression, waved to the two assistants.

“Master Gu, may I ask if you have any instructions?”

Gu Fei’s gaze swept around the surroundings, pointing at the expensive clothes in front of him one by one, and said casually: “This one, this one, and this one… Pack them all up. I’ll give you the address later.”

By the time Gu Fei finished speaking, the clothes in the hands of the two shop assistants had already piled up into a small mountain. They were completely dumbfounded.

After lingering inside for a while, Lin Qingyan changed clothes and came out of the fitting room. The chaotic scene from earlier had long returned to normal, and the shop assistants were still busy with their own tasks.

Due to the incident just now, Lin Qingyan’s expression was still somewhat reserved, while Gu Fei, leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, seemed as if nothing had happened. He quietly glanced at the young man for two seconds.

Lin Qingyan wasn’t very tall, but his slim and slender figure, combined with the youthfulness and toughness of a young man, made him appear tall and straight. Coupled with his fair and beautiful face, he could easily walk on the fashion runway.

Gu Fei straightforwardly commented, “Looks good.”

Any clothes will look good on a young man. It seems like he should have chosen a few more sets just now, Gu Fei thought to himself.

He then told the shopping guide: “I’ll take this set too.”

Lin Qingyan’s mind was still a little confused, and he even forgot about the rejection. When he changed his clothes and followed Gu Fei out of the store, he realized how much Gu Fei had just spent for him.

He thought it was too expensive.

Gu Fei explained, “This brand was acquired by the Gu family two months ago.”

“…”

Lin Qingyan was speechless for a moment.
