Chapter 575: Foul Taste
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
Shanghai’s Wanchuan Shopping Center was located at the most flourishing commercial street in Hongkou District. It was also known as the Fortune Plaza, and every store opened in it was an itinerary of high-end international brands. In addition to a large number of luxury goods, they also provided many major brands in the world.
Hu Qingsong drove here with Tang Xiu and headed straight to the clothing area on the fourth floor. When they approached a world-famous branded clothing store, Hu Qingsong did not even pause for half a second and straightly went toward a female underwear exclusive store at the back, before he then stopped and hesitated.
“Old Hu, don’t tell me the place you said would satisfy me is here?”
Tang Xiu was dumbfounded as he looked at the dazzling line-up of lingeries inside. The sight was virtually dazzling to the eyes, especially those sexy lingerie with various colors and styles, making Tang Xiu secretly blush and feel embarrassed inside. Never once, neither in this life nor in his past life, had he ever been to this kind of place.
With an awkward expression, Hu Qingsong said, “Recently I approached a girl, and only yesterday did I finally win her heart. It just so happens that tomorrow is her birthday, so I want to give her a gift; an out of the ordinary one. Hence, Yue Kai told me to give her a sexy lingerie.”
Cough! Cough…
Tang Xiu was really knocked out by Hu Qingsong this time. That rotten apple Yue Kai went so far so as to provide such a rotten advice. Did he think that such an idea was really out of the box or something? If he knew earlier that Hu Qingsong would drag him to this kind of place, he wouldn’t have come here even if he was bribed with a hundred meals!
At this time…
The lingerie brand called ‘Carine Gilson’ sold exclusively an European luxury underwear brand. The founder is an haute couture designer from Belgium who founded the lingerie brand of the same name in 1994. Because she was particular about the choice of materials, she only chose the finest fabrics from Lyons and Calais, France.
Most of the classic products of Carine Gilson were often presented in feminine soft colors such as rust, scarlet, orange, cappuccino, and old rose. In addition, its price was also very expensive, starting at 240 USD, and with a set of nightgown priced over 360 USD.
After walking to the entrance of the store, Hu Qingsong hesitated.
Tang Xiu himself really wanted to turn around and leave, but after looking at Hu Qingsong’s face, he steeled himself against the women’s strange looks and said, “Old Hu, if you really want to buy a set of lingerie for your girlfriend, just go and buy it! You’re a man, for God’s sake. If anything, you have nothing else but a thick face, no? I won’t go inside with you, but you have my full support, mentally and spiritually! Anyways, I’m kind of addicted to smoking, so I’m gonna find a spot to smoke and wait for you there.”
Hu Qingsong was kind of dumbstruck, and he couldn’t even sense the smell of ‘deserting from battle’ from Tang Xiu at all. He steeled his heart and blocked Tang Xiu’s path and dragged him into the store.
“Welcome, sirs!”
A beautiful female sales clerk greeted them with a professional smile. She seemed accustomed to seeing men patronizing the lingerie store, as she enthusiastically spoke with a warm smile, “These two gentlemen, I’m the head sales clerk of the shop. What kind of underwear do you want to buy? Also, may I take the liberty to ask you whether you want to give it as a present…”
With an awkward expression, Hu Qingsong said, “My girlfriend’s birthday is tomorrow. I think… ugh… I don’t really understand what kind of underwear a girl would like, could you recommend me some?”
The female clerk took the two of them further inside. While keeping her smile, she asked, “How old is your girlfriend? May I know her size…”
With the clerk’s inquiries, Hu Qingsong responded with all the little knowledge he had. Tang Xiu spent some effort to hide himself at the side. He wanted to take out a cigarette to disperse his embarrassment, but then saw the “NO SMOKING” sign on the front of the shop, hence he could only resentfully look for a sofa to sit.
“Big Sis, did you see them? The youth over there and the one who’s sitting in front us? They both came to this lingerie shop to buy some underwear. Do you think they are gay or something?” A fashionable young and pretty girl who was standing nearby whispered to her friend.
“It’s unlikely, I think. That guy should be accompanying the other one to buy a lingerie for his sweetheart, don’t you think? But, that guy sitting there is very handsome, and kinda looks familiar.”
“Yeah! You’re right. I also think so. Where have I seen him before?”
“He’s so gorgeous. Shall we ask him to take a group picture? What do you think? Maybe a talent scout from an entertainment company will discover him someday, and after they excavate and train him, he’ll eventually become a big star.”
“A big star? Heavens… I remember him! He’s Tang Xiu, a freshman at Shanghai University. He’s the one who played the zither and sang a song at this year’s Shanghai’s freshmen welcoming party. That’s right… I remember that he’s also a doctor, that young divine doctor from Star City Chinese Medical Hospital!”
“Ah, I remember it, too! But how did he…”
