382: A life of mutual support

The dress on Chau Pham Thuy Anh indeed gave her a strong K-pop girl group vibe.

However, Li Qinghe's attention was no longer on the dress.

He was imagining Nguyen Thi Linh, Nguyen Thi Trinh, and Chau Pham Thuy Anh at home, dancing gracefully in the spacious living room.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Chau Pham Thuy Anh saw Li Qinghe in a daze and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"I'm thinking, since we're buying girl group outfits, we should buy them for A Ling and A Trinh too, so they match."

Li Qinghe subtly wiped the non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Don't worry, Brother, I've already picked them out. They're all in A Ling and A Trinh's sizes."

Chau Pham Thuy Anh proudly held up two other girl group dresses of different sizes.

In fact, all three of them were quite thoughtful and considerate of others.

They had lived together for so long without any dramatic conflicts precisely because they all understood how to consider others, and they were grateful for kindness and reciprocated it.

With such a family atmosphere, how could there be any dramatic conflicts?

When Chau Pham Thuy Anh came out of the fitting room,

Li Qinghe took the three silver girl group dresses from her hand and walked to the cashier to pay.

These girl group dresses were not expensive compared to the previous dress they bought, 5 million vietnamese dong, which is equivalent to 1350 dragon country currency.

Chau Pham Thuy Anh asked for the three dresses to be put in one bag, which she still carried herself.

This was a consensus between her and Nguyen Thi Linh; when shopping, unless an item was particularly heavy, they always carried their own purchases.

So, Chau Pham Thuy Anh, with several clothing bags hooked over her left arm and Li Qinghe's arm hooked over her right, was still joyfully browsing.

"Brother, how cold is Akalin Province now? A Ling even bought each of us a long, thick down jacket. I've never worn one this big before."

Chau Pham Thuy Anh asked curiously, leaning close to Li Qinghe.

Summer insects cannot speak of ice; the tropics do not know cold.

In Vietnam's climate, the coldest Chau Pham Thuy Anh had ever experienced was wearing a thin down jacket. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to be dressed like a bear.

"A Ling even bought down jackets for you all?"

Li Qinghe was a little surprised by Nguyen Thi Linh's foresight, and also felt a bit of warmth.

He had been away from home for quite some time, and crucially, he had studied at Huacheng University, almost forgetting the biting cold at home after the Frost's Descent.

Especially during the New Year, if it snowed, it could literally freeze off one's toes. Unless it was a warm winter, even someone like Li Qinghe, who had been away from home for several years, wouldn't want to go back to akalin in winter.

So, he had also forgotten to remind Nguyen Thi Linh and the others to buy some heavy down jackets, or rather, he hadn't even paid attention to such an issue.

For him now, if he needed something, he could just buy it temporarily. But he hadn't considered whether Nguyen Thi Linh and the others, who had always lived in the tropics, could suddenly adapt to such a cold environment.

To put it plainly, Li Qinghe had grown accustomed to being taken care of by Nguyen Thi Linh and the others. They always considered things in advance, and Li Qinghe only needed to ensure one thing: that there was enough money to spend.

And this was precisely what Li Qinghe lacked the least.

So, he had always lived his pampered, lord-like life with peace of mind.

Today, reminded by Chau Pham Thuy Anh, he looked at Chau Pham Thuy Anh's voluptuous figure.

"A Ying, let's buy some base dresses for you all to wear under the down jackets."

Base dresses needed to be form-fitting, simple, and comfortable.

Li Qinghe took Chau Pham Thuy Anh to browse the women's clothing section for a while and chose a brand with a very minimalist overall design style.

He picked out a plain, round-neck base dress for Chau Pham Thuy Anh. This type of dress could be worn alone when it was warm or as an underlayer when it was cold.

When it was warm, it could be worn with bare legs and stockings; when it was cold, wearing thermal fleece pants wouldn't look bad. It could be said to be the versatile king of matching.

Chau Pham Thuy Anh took the dress Li Qinghe picked and went inside to try it on.

When she stood smiling in front of Li Qinghe, he couldn't help but sigh, a good figure truly makes everything look good.

The entire dress was stretched by Chau Pham Thuy Anh, creating graceful curves. In two words: "very nice."

Chau Pham Thuy Anh

"A Ying, this looks good. It suits you very well. Get a few more."

Li Qinghe had no resistance to this simple, pure-yet-seductive style of dressing, primarily because he had no resistance to such a figure.

So, at Li Qinghe's strong insistence, Chau Pham Thuy Anh took over ten dresses of this style, including, of course, ones for Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Trinh.

Before long, Chau Pham Thuy Anh's arm had another large bag, while Lord Li remained light-handed.

The two strolled around the mall for a while longer, found a drink shop, ordered two mango coconut milk smoothies, and sat together, spooning them out.

"Brother, I feel so happy."

Chau Pham Thuy Anh leaned on Li Qinghe's shoulder, her face full of joy.

Although her appearance was mature enough, she was still just a young woman, with countless fantasies about the future and life.

At her most innocent age, she met Li Qinghe, who could fulfill all her fantasies.

So, for Chau Pham Thuy Anh, other aspects were not important; what was important was being able to stay by Li Qinghe's side forever.

"If you feel happy, then you should enjoy your current life, because it will be even happier in the future."

Li Qinghe said with a smile, making a joke.

Chau Pham Thuy Anh, however, nodded seriously: "Brother, I believe everything you say. We will be even happier in the future."

Looking at the earnest Chau Pham Thuy Anh, Li Qinghe knew that her heart would never again hold anyone else.

He also had no psychological pressure. He wasn't someone who would just play around and then leave; he was also genuinely invested in their relationship.

At least, he wasn't the kind of player who would discard relationships daily or monthly.

Therefore, Li Qinghe thought he was a good person, and he believed A Ying thought so too. If anyone didn't believe it, they could ask A Ying to swear on her heart.

Two hearts, mutually devoted, leaning on each other, found joy in everything they did.

Just like Li Qinghe and Chau Pham Thuy Anh, they didn't do anything special sitting in the drink shop. They just sat quietly, chatting, eating shaved ice, and listening to the melodious music in the shop.

That feeling was also very pleasant, with no sense of boredom at all.

Perhaps this is what is called a life of mutual support.

Li Qinghe was willing to continue living such a life.
