Gu Yan met with Lu Ye and studied him. She could not help but frown.

Captain Lu took in every small detail. His sharp eyes carried some glint in them.

“What’s wrong? You studied me from top to bottom. Don’t you recognize me?”

“… You are absolutely breathtaking in this outfit,” Gu Yan answered after giving it some thought.

Captain Lu was deeply satisfied. The twinkle in his eyes couldn’t be contained as he grinned.

He was well aware of her mother’s maltreatment. She wouldn’t even spare some money to buy clothes for Gu Yan, let alone purchase some jackets which were often expensive.

Hence, he came prepared. He was carrying a bag in his hand.

However, at this time, his wife questioned, “Are you sure you can climb the mountain with this attire?”

They were planning to hike the mountain and reach far north of the capital. The path won’t be steep, but there won’t be any establishments for the rest of the trail. It might be troublesome later on, and wearing leather shoes wasn’t suitable for the activity.

Without a doubt, the shoes would be ruined should they proceed with the climb.

Gu Yan looked up at this man in confusion. He knew well enough they would be climbing mountains today.

Captain Lu raised his brow after his ability was doubted. He saw the confusion on her face, but he suddenly smirked. “It’s winter right now. It’s not fun climbing a mountain. How about visiting the park instead?”

Of course, Gu Yan knew it would be suitable to choose the park for a date.

Winter had arrived. The view would surely be equally better.

But she…

She cared about him more, and Gu Yan looked at her green jacket with some anxiousness. She felt a little dejected.

For the first time since her rebirth, Gu Yan didn’t feel confident.

She didn’t have much money. Most of it was poured on the needs of the jade pendant.

As it turned out, she probably had to double the effort once she attended school.

Lu Ye studied her expression and handed the bag over.

Gu Yan was taken aback. She didn’t take it. “What is it?”

“Open it and see.”

This time, Gu Yan finally grabbed it. It was a bit heavy but not excessively bulky.

She opened it and saw a warm red material inside.

“Clothes?”

“Yes, I picked it for you.” Lu Ye beamed, revealing his snow-white teeth. He looked intently at Gu Yan with eagerness.

“Yan, go back to the dormitory and put this on.”

At this juncture, how could Gu Yan not acknowledge the fact that Lu Ye bought it just for her?

The competition had just finished yesterday…

‘When did he have the time to buy it then?’

Back then, the department stores should be closed…

Gu Yan raised her head. “How did you know my size?”

Captain Lu grinned from ear to ear. “Because I have hugged you before.”

Gu Yan was stunned. Quickly enough, her face blushed. She felt a little speechless.

This man really loosened up ever since they kissed at the hospital.

Although it was out of the blue, this was still a manifestation of Lu Ye’s sincerity. He already bought it, so she shouldn’t reject it.

In the future, she could just buy another gift in return.

Gu Yan acquiesced, “Then, I’ll go back first. Wait for me.”

“I’m willing to wait as long as you need.”

‘Why was he getting smoother and smoother with his words?’

Gu Yan turned around and rushed back into the dormitory.

There was no one inside.

She took off her heavy coat and donned the red coat on.

Gu Yan’s fair white complexion was much more accentuated with the help of the coat.

Her face was undeniably exquisite.

In addition, she had a flawless tall figure.

Hence, the stylish red coat perfectly suited her.

Right then, she felt embarrassed after recalling Lu Ye’s words.

‘Because I have hugged you before…’
