27: Chapter 27 Gao Qilan: Brother Yang, I dare not wear it!

After sending off Wu Yuedong, only Zhao Yang and Gao Qilan remained in the tea house.

"Xiao Lan, this is my first time in the provincial capital. Take me to your school for a walk," Zhao Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Yang, the scenery at our school is quite beautiful."

"Let's go." Zhao Yang took Gao Qilan's hand directly. "Lead the way."

Gao Qilan's heart trembled, and her Face flushed slightly, but she did not pull away.

She had even dared to bring her ID card out, so what was holding hands?

Feeling Zhao Yang's dry and warm palm, she only hoped time would stop at this moment.

The Medical University only had medicine-related departments, so its area was much smaller than a comprehensive university like Handong University, but the campus exuded a delicate beauty—water pavilions, rockeries, gazebos, and koi occasionally surfacing in the artificial lake, all possessing quite a bit of the charm of Suzhou-style gardens.

Sitting on a bench by the lake, Gao Qilan leaned into Zhao Yang's arms: "Brother Yang, I just bought a full set of original Harvard Business School textbooks and have already started studying them."

Zhao Yang ruffled her hair: "The original versions are in English. Can you understand them?"

"I think I've really become smarter." Gao Qilan's eyes shone brightly. "My English was average originally, and I thought it would be very difficult, but I can remember many words just by flipping through the dictionary. Now, even without checking the dictionary, I can guess the general meaning of the textbooks."

Zhao Yang smiled smugly: "I told you, you become like those you associate with. You will become smarter and smarter in the future. Oh right, I have something for you."

He took a glasses case out of his bag and produced a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses. "Do they look good?"

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Put them on and see."

"Okay."

After taking off her original glasses, Zhao Yang put the new ones on her, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Gold-rimmed glasses were truly the exclusive set for Miss Qilan; once worn, her temperament immediately elevated!

"My Xiao Lan is just beautiful." He gave a thumbs-up. "The lenses are plano, you can go get your prescription fitted yourself."

"Mm-hmm, my prescription isn't high, so I'll wear the plano ones for now. Thank you, Brother Yang."

At noon, Zhao Yang took her out for a Western meal.

Actually, this stuff wasn't necessarily tastier than roadside rice noodle rolls, but what was being consumed was the environment, the atmosphere, and the emotional value.

After the meal, they walked the streets for a while, and Zhao Yang walked Gao Qilan to the school gate.

"Brother Yang, are you going back to Jinghai?"

"Yeah, I originally wanted to rest for a week, but there's a lot going on at the bureau, so I need to rush back."

"Mm..." Gao Qilan's eyes were full of reluctance. "Then be careful on your way."

"Don't want me to go back?"

"I don't want to in my heart. But I know Brother Yang has work and more important things to do."

"My Xiao Lan is both smart and sensible." Zhao Yang suddenly patted his forehead. "Almost forgot."

He took Gao Qilan to a nearby supermarket and bought two large bags of snacks.

Gao Qilan was a bit confused: "Brother Yang, I don't really eat these, and this is just too much."

"They're for your roommates." Zhao Yang smiled. "Since I've come here, I have to help you save Face."

Gao Qilan smiled with her eyes curved. "Brother Yang, you are really good to me."

"You girl's mouth..." Zhao Yang lowered his head and lightly touched her lips, just a fleeting taste. "So sweet, no wonder you speak so nicely."

"Oh, Brother Yang! There are so many people!" Gao Qilan was holding plastic bags in both hands and could only stomp her feet gently, both shy and adorable.

Zhao Yang laughed: "Then I'll taste it again when there's no one around."

Gao Qilan's pretty Face turned red, and her head was almost lowered to her chest.

Zhao Yang didn't tease her anymore, sent her back to school, hailed a taxi, negotiated the price, and headed straight to Jinghai.

The Medical University female dormitory had six people in total.

The five girls saw Gao Qilan walk in carrying two large bags of snacks and all put down what they were doing.

"Wow!" Liu Simin exclaimed. "Lanlan, did you go to the supermarket to restock?"

Gao Qilan put the snacks on her desk, rubbing her sore wrists: "They're for everyone, take whatever you want to eat."

"Huh?" Xu Honghong rummaged through the bags. "Dove, Pringles, Oreo, Crispy Shark... Lanlan, did you win the lottery?"

Gao Qilan's Face flushed: "My boyfriend came for a visit, and these are for you all."

"Wow! Boyfriend?"

"Ah? When did you start dating?"

"My God, you were dating in secret!"

"Gao Qilan, confess and be lenient, resist and be strict!"

Liu Simin was the loudest: "What exactly is going on? Before the holidays, you said you were going to focus on studying! And I actually believed you!"

The dormitory exploded instantly.

Chen Pingping and Xue Lili jumped down from the upper bunk, pinning Gao Qilan's arms from left and right.

Xu Honghong rummaged through the snacks and clicked her tongue: "These are all expensive ones. Lanlan, what's your boyfriend's situation? This must cost hundreds, right?"

Gao Qilan pursed her lips and didn't speak. Zhao Yang had handed over a company he bought for hundreds of thousands to her, so what were a few hundred?

"Still daring to keep secrets? Sisters, bring out the family law!"

Following Xu Honghong's order, several girls rushed up to tickle her.

Gao Qilan laughed until she was almost out of breath and finally couldn't hold out any longer: "I'll tell, I'll tell, okay! My boyfriend is a fellow townsman of mine named Zhao Yang, is that okay?"

"Wait!" Xu Honghong walked in front of Gao Qilan, staring at her glasses. "These glasses..."

"My boyfriend gave them to me, what's wrong?"

"Can I take a look?"

"Oh, here you go." Gao Qilan took them off and handed them over.

Xu Honghong took the glasses and looked them over repeatedly, her expression becoming increasingly surprised: "Your boyfriend gave you these?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"What did he say? Didn't he say where he bought them or how much they cost?"

"He bought them in the Imperial Capital, and he said they didn't cost much." Gao Qilan suddenly laughed. "Don't tell me you have the same ones?"

"Do you have the packaging? Let me see."

"Yes." Gao Qilan rummaged through her bag and pulled out the glasses case. "Here."

Liu Simin covered her mouth and laughed: "Lanlan, if the glasses your boyfriend gave you are the same as Honghong's, that would be funny."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Honghong's voice changed, and her hand holding the glasses began to tremble. "I can't afford to wear these glasses. I wouldn't even dare to take them out of the house."

"Ah?" Gao Qilan was stunned. "Honghong, what's wrong with these glasses?"

Xu Honghong stared at her with a strange expression: "I'm telling you, Lanlan, you don't know the brand of these glasses?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

"And your boyfriend didn't tell you either?"

"He... doesn't seem to have said, he just put them on me directly."

Xu Honghong rubbed her forehead and beckoned to the other girls: "Sisters, come, let's broaden our horizons together."

She pulled the exquisite product label out of the packaging. Brand: CARTIER. Series: TANK DÉCOR. Material: 18K White Gold. Purity Mark: 750. Lenses: Mineral glass plano lenses, anti-reflective coating. Weight: Approximately 28 grams (including lenses). Serial Number: C2000-0842. Price: 24,800 Yuan. Origin: France. Point of Sale: Cartier Counter, China World Mall, Imperial Capital.

There was silence in the dormitory, with only the sound of gasps remaining.

Suddenly, Gao Qilan's voice, laced with a crying tone, rang out—"Brother Yang... how can I dare to wear these out!"
