Shen Moyu licked his lips, glanced at the price tag under the puppy keychain, and said calmly, "No. Besides, it's pointless to buy it."
He actually really liked the keychain, but the price was outrageous—over two hundred yuan for a single pendant! It was just too fussy. Besides, knowing Su Jinning's personality, if he said he liked something, he would definitely buy it for him. He didn't want Su Jinning to spend money, and besides, it was just a keychain; it wasn't a necessity.
Seeing the slightly disappointed look in Shen Moyu's eyes, Su Jinning frowned.
He did want to just buy it for him directly, but he also knew that Shen Moyu wouldn't accept it.
Shen Moyu is a person with a strong sense of self-respect. He has always been very independent, dislikes pleasing others, and even more dislikes others doing anything for him or spending any money on him.
Although the two were already in a relationship, Shen Moyu was still the same as before. Apart from a few small favors, he never asked Su Jinning for anything.
What he didn't know was that Su Jinning had always wanted to give him something, but she just didn't know what to give him.
Su Jinning turned her head, looking surprised as she took off the puppy keychain: "Look, how about this?"
Shen Moyu was a little surprised, but she still walked over and, pretending it was the first time she had seen it, carefully looked it over and nodded: "Quite cute."
"Isn't it cute?" Su Jinning picked it up and examined it for a while, then said with a mischievous grin, "It looks exactly like a rolling ball."
Shen Moyu suddenly realized this and couldn't help but laugh twice: "Just like you."
Su Jinning's face darkened: "Damn it." He sighed, having grown accustomed to his boyfriend's daily insults, and put the keychain into his bag: "Well, since it looks so much like my son and me, it's fate, I'll take it."
"Huh?" Shen Moyu glanced at the price again, feeling a little guilty. "Forget it, over two hundred for a pendant is too expensive. You can find these things at two-dollar stores."
Su Jinning had already guessed he would say that, so she clutched the things even tighter: "Things in memorial halls are all like that. Besides, I don't care how much it costs for things I like; I just buy them to make myself happy."
After saying that, he winked at Shen Moyu.
Shen Moyu had no choice but to agree to the offer from this wealthy young master of the Su family, much to her amusement and exasperation.
However, he was quite happy, because if he were to cling to Su Jinning in the future, he could touch her whenever his hands felt itchy.
The memorial hall wasn't large, and although it contained many items, there weren't many categories, so we finished browsing in no time. The group paid at the cashier. Chen Hang and Song Wenmiao then squeezed out of the entrance carrying their bags. He Qing and Chen Yuanyuan, on the other hand, stood casually to the side taking photos.
Song Wenmiao and Chen Hang couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto a nearby bench, their shopping bags almost submerging them.
Chen Hang rubbed his aching arms and complained, "Damn, you two young ladies, you're really good at buying things!"
Song Wenmiao was so tired he didn't even want to keep his eyes open: "This is a memorial hall, not a shopping mall! Look at how many of you are buying this much stuff as you guys are coming out of here!"
The two people taking pictures nearby immediately became unhappy. Chen Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at them and said, "It's none of your business. We're not spending your money."
That one sentence completely shut them up.
"Hey? You two didn't buy anything?" He Qing noticed Su Jinning and Shen Moyu coming out of the door empty-handed.
Su Jinning looked at the keychain in her hand: "Oh, I bought it, a keychain."
Chen Yuanyuan was shocked: "My God, do you guys really not shop?"
Su Jinning looked at the two girls slumped to the side, almost submerged in shopping bags, and mimicked them, saying, "My goodness, do you girls have to shop everywhere you go?"
Chen Yuanyuan: "..."
He Qing: "Stop imitating it, it's too similar."
——
The scenery on the mountain was quite nice, and there were many places to take photos. A few people ran up the mountain like crazy, not for any other reason than that there were restaurants on the mountain.
Song Wenmiao and He Qing chatted on the side, while Chen Yuanyuan was still immersed in the joy of taking photos.
"Hey, what do you think of this photo? Isn't it incredibly innocent and alluring!" Chen Yuanyuan looked at Chen Hang, who was exhausted, with a proud expression.
Chen Hang grinned: "Pure lust? More like naive."
Chen Yuanyuan slowly closed her eyes. Well, what was she hoping for?
"Haven't you had enough of being beaten?"
This pair of bickering lovers have started playing chase again. They're seventeen or eighteen years old. If you don't think they're childish, they're quite boisterous. But if you say they're childish, their carefree attitude every day is actually quite nice.
"Academic superstar." Su Jinning turned her head and called out.
"What's wrong?"
Su Jinning looked at him mysteriously: "I have something for you."
Shen Moyu frowned at him, finding him childish: "What are you doing?"
Su Jinning leaned over and stuffed the item into Shen Moyu's hand.
The rough texture made Shen Moyu a little uncomfortable. He looked down and saw the puppy ornament lying squarely in his palm.
He was a little confused: "Why are you giving this to me?"
Su Jinning didn't answer his question. Instead, he opened his other hand, revealing a small dog pendant that looked exactly like the one in the picture.
Su Jinning smiled gently: "I bought two."
Shen Moyu stared at him in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Two hundred yuan is expensive enough, why did you buy two..."
"This is for you."
Su Jinning interrupted him. He put the two puppies together and said with a grin, "Actually, I've been wanting to buy you a matching couple's gift, but I haven't found anything meaningful."
Shen Moyu looked up at him, his flustered breathing and burning gaze mingling together, making him feel hot.
"So I think this is good." Su Jinning pressed the two puppies together, her voice suddenly lowering: "I haven't given you anything since we got together. These two puppies are quite cute, they even look like rolling balls. We can take them with us wherever we go, they'll always be a pair."
Shen Moyu gripped the keychain tightly. He muttered under his breath, "Idiot."
"Hey, you academic genius! Sports committee member, let's take a picture together!" Chen Yuanyuan's voice came from afar.
The three people were already waiting in the distance with their phones in hand.
Su Jinning smiled broadly: "Okay!"
"1, 2, 3! Eggplant!"
Shen Moyu turned to look at Su Jinning. The sunlight illuminated his face. In the last row of the line, Su Jinning had her back to the crowd and was facing the sun. She took his hand.
