Before he could say anything, the attendant thought he was embarrassed to discuss such topics in public and lowered his voice even more. “There’s nothing to be shy about. The wife-master’s undergarments are all made by the husband. If you don’t make them for your own wife-master, do you want her to wear undergarments made by other men?”
[I was just reflecting on whether my thoughts were too impure. Now that I think about it, I’m still too young.]
[After making sanitary pads, Yu Shu is being forced to master a new skill, hahaha.]
[I feel like Yu Shu will be molded into a good State of An man who can cook in the kitchen and entertain in the hall.]
Yu Shu’s face turned red as he held back. “We… We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
The attendant didn’t believe it. “If you’re not in that kind of relationship, why were you talking so intimately just now?”
At this time, Yan Jin, who had been wandering around the fabric shop out of boredom, saw that Yu Shu’s face was all red and he looked both angry and anxious. Thinking that the attendant was bullying him, she walked over and warned the attendant, “It’s his first time here. Don’t bully him, or I’ll have a good talk with your boss.”
The attendant’s gaze towards Yu Shu instantly became meaningful. He bowed to Yan Jin. “This customer, I wasn’t bullying your little husband at all.”
”Really?” Yan Jin didn’t believe it and turned to ask Yu Shu, “Don’t be afraid. As long as you’re in the right, I’ll protect you no matter what.”
Seeing the attendant’s increasingly meaningful gaze and Yan Jin adding fuel to the fire, Yu Shu, both embarrassed and angry, slapped the back of Yan Jin’s hand. “This has nothing to do with you. Go mind your own business.”
”Fine, don’t tell me. But why did you hit me? But—” Yan Jin carefully observed Yu Shu’s complexion and said seriously, “Yu Shu, you’re a bit strange today.”
[Hey, how can it not be strange? A young and innocent man is being advised to make underwear for his female friend. No matter who it happens to, it would be strange.]
[Even through the screen, I can feel Yu Shu’s social death.]
[Don’t be afraid, Yu Shu. Life is short. It will pass quickly. If it’s really unbearable, buy a ticket to Mars.]
Yu Shu, who had finally persuaded Yan Jin to leave, tried to struggle under the attendant’s teasing gaze. “We only have a brother-sister relationship.”
Attendant: “You dare to act so intimately with her in public, and you still say it’s just a pure brother-sister relationship?”
”…” Yu Shu: “I only lightly pushed her.”
”I understand, I understand.” The attendant nodded. “I was young once too. Of course I know this is just a playful interaction between you two.”
Even if Yu Shu had a hundred mouths, he wouldn’t be able to prove his innocence to this attendant who was talking to himself and not listening to his explanations at all.
On the way back, thinking of what happened at the fabric shop, Yu Shu kicked pebbles gloomily.
Seeing that Yu Shu seemed a bit unhappy, Yan Jin asked, “Yu Shu, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
”Don’t follow me.” Yu Shu knew this matter couldn’t be blamed on Yan Jin, but he still felt inexplicably uncomfortable. “We should keep some distance in the future to avoid misunderstandings.”
The tooth trader, Ah De, and the fabric shop attendant all thought they were a couple. If that were actually the case, Yu Shu wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.
But Yan Jin didn’t like him. From beginning to end, he and Yan Jin had a purely platonic relationship and never crossed the line of friendship.
Since Yan Jin didn’t like him, how could those people look at them with tinted glasses and always misunderstand their relationship?
Yu Shu also felt embarrassed to tell Yan Jin about this matter. After all, Yan Jin didn’t like him. If he spoke about it solemnly, it would make him seem petty instead.
Although Yan Jin didn’t know why Yu Shu suddenly said this, she had never understood how young men thought, so she didn’t pay attention to it.
If she was still curious when she woke up tomorrow, Yan Jin planned to directly ask Yu Shu for the reason.
Having made up her mind, Yan Jin remembered that she had forgotten to buy something. She wanted to tell Yu Shu, but thinking of what Yu Shu had just said about “keeping distance”, she didn’t greet him and directly turned around and walked in another direction.
After walking a few steps, not hearing Yan Jin’s footsteps behind him, Yu Shu turned his head to look.
Great, Yan Jin had really left.
Yu Shu didn’t know why, but he became even more unhappy.
Yu Shu was very angry. He took three steps in two strides to catch up with Yan Jin. “I told you not to follow me, and you really didn’t follow me?”
[Ah, Yu Shu is so temperamental. He told Yan Jin not to follow him, but when Yan Jin didn’t follow him, Yu Shu became upset.]
