SAYE [Run Freely]

Chapter 56

Because there literally wouldn't be anyone from the steel mill around the shopping center, the moment they arrived, Gu Fei had already walked up into a nearby sports shop before Jiang Cheng could even properly lock the bike.

"You could walk a little slower at least." Jiang Cheng caught up to him, "If you bumped into an acquaintance while walking at such a fast pace, you wouldn't even have the chance to pretend."

"The steel mill is too far from here. I don't even come here more than a few times a year." Gu Fei walked slowly among the shelves, "They usually wouldn't go shopping. And if they were to shop, they'd go to that area past the bridge at most - that commercial street where Jiuri's house is."

"Really?" Jiang Cheng pondered over it for a while, "No wonder they all dress up like that. You wouldn't even be able to buy that style of theirs anywhere over here."

"What style?" Gu Fei snickered.

"Each and every one of them are as thin as toothpicks yet they still wrap themselves in skintight clothing! And the pants on their legs are even ankle-length! If you blink your eyes and don't look closely, you might not even be able to tell that they have legs!" Jiang Cheng recalled the bunch of people from the night before, and the rage within him flared up again, "I told you that I would be able to hit the wooden planks from the nearby building! But if it were people, I may not necessarily be able to land a hit..."

Gu Fei gripped a baseball bat as he convulsed with a long fit of laughter: "They're not all skinny. There are pretty buff ones too."

"Ah yes, the one piece of ab on their stomachs makes them quite buff." Jiang Cheng sneered.

"Ai." Gu Fei sighed after he had enough of laughing, "Aren't there still those like me?"

"You're not included in that group of people." Jiang Cheng shot a look at him, "Even though you were dressed flashy[2] enough yesterday, why aren't you wearing that leather motorcycle jacket of yours today?"

"It got ruined when I fell ah." Gu Fei deliberated over something for a while, "Actually, regarding skin-tight clothes ba... I really used to have some..."

"If you're still wearing them now, I promise you that the two of us won't even amount to deskmates anymore." Jiang Cheng warned.

"I'm sooo scared." Gu Fei put on a baseball glove, took a ball, and tossed it in the glove two times.

"You're going to buy this to play with? You steel mill folk would even use weapons when playing basketball." Jiang Cheng remarked, "So would you guys also throwing and catch grenades if you were to play with this ah?"

"It's for Er Miao to play with." Gu Fei explained, "She saw these on TV the other day, so now she wants one."

"Buy a child-sized one ah. Isn't this too big?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"It has to be an adult-sized one. This stuff doesn't break easily, so if she grows a little and the glove gets small, she would not only rage if you change it, but also rage because she can't fit her hand in anymore if you don't change it."

"... alright then." Jiang Cheng sighed. Who knew how much one had to consider in a day if they were to be Gu Miao's big brother.

After they finished buying the glove and ball, Gu Fei forcibly stuffed the things into Jiang Cheng's schoolbag.

"... I'm never taking my bag with me when I go out again," Jiang Cheng grumbled.
