But I fell in love with you - Chapter 54


But I fell in love with You 

Chapter 54: Shopping



"Help me choose which one will look good on me?" Huo Yixuan said, pointing to the row of clothes in front.


Yang Nainai was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him, 


"Are you... sure you want me to choose?" 


The store attendant stood at the side, smiling politely, knowing that she didn't need to say anything now.


"Of course, isn't it right for my wife to help her husband choose his clothes?" 


Huo Yixuan pinched her little face with anticipation.


Yang Nainai suddenly felt a great responsibility land on her shoulders. She knew that she didn't possess that kind of fashion sense. She told him, 


"My taste in clothes is pretty plain so if you think that it doesn't look good on you then don’t buy it just because I said so!" 


Spending money on something that didn’t suit a person’s taste was the most frustrating and depressing trap that one can fall into. As a girl, Yang Nainai was deeply touched that he trusted her tastes in this.


Huo Yixuan smiled, "Don't be afraid, baby. Everything you choose will definitely look good."


Yang Nainai frowned slightly, walked to a row of clothes to look around, and then hesitantly picked a few pieces to show to Huo Yixuan, 


"Try those on first."


Huo Yixuan took it with a smile and entered the fitting room. Yang Nainai sat on the sofa and waited with a peace of mind. The store attendant then served her a cup of coffee warmly. Yang Nainai felt that their service was so good that it would be embarrassing if he didn't end up buying anything later on.


So although the steam from the coffee cup rose up enticingly in front of her, she felt really uncomfortable drinking it.


Huo Yixuan changed to the clothes she chose pretty quickly and came out in no time at all. As soon as he appeared, Yang Nainai's eyes widened in admiration. She always knew that Huo Yixuan was handsome, but she didn't know that this guy had such a good figure and really looked good in anything he wore.


She thought the clothes she chose for him was just okay just now. She was afraid of making any blunders so she stuck to solid colors instead, yet Huo Yixuan still came out looking so dashing when he put them on.


Even the shop attendant in the store gasped in amazement, 


"My dear guest, you are such a natural model for showcasing our clothes to its fullest potential. When you wear these clothes, you become the perfect blend of elegance and handsomeness."


Huo Yixuan didn't care about the clerk's praise, he just looked at Yang Nainai expectantly, 


"How is it, baby?"   


Yang Nainai pursed her lips, trying not to make herself drool, 


"You look so good, really good. You really stand out among the crowd, making both gods and humans equally jealous [1]. Should we try out the rest too?"


Yang Nainai l sty soul stood up at attention when she saw him. She now understood why girls constantly buried themselves in the addiction of finding handsome guys to admire. She couldn’t help but be attracted to Huo Yixuan excellent complexion too.


Huo Yixuan could see how Yang Nainai's eyes were fixated on him, as her gaze radiated both surprise and undeniable adoration that caused the corners of her lips to be raised unconsciously.


For the first time, he realized how much he actually liked her gaze to stay on him. He didn't care much about how he had presented himself before, and he had already been jaded by the ogling of other girls, but this time, he couldn’t help feeling a little nervous as he was afraid that Yang Nainai would take her gaze off him.


Yang Nainai was so happy now that the blossoms in her heart were blooming.


Mmm, she really likes it.


He likes it too.


When Yang Nainai saw the last set of clothes, she suddenly felt that it was difficult to decide which outfit stood out more. Why did every set looked so good on him, which one should she pick?


While she was weighing over the decisions in her head, Huo Yixuan had already paid for all three outfits.


"You bought them all?" Yang Nainai was surprised. The price of these clothes were about the lower end of 10,000 yuan, yet he didn't even blink once before paying?


Seeing how Huo Yixuan had swiped his card without even frowning at all, she suddenly wondered if he was a slave to his card. This guy couldn’t be living by his credit card debts right?


Huo Yixuan picked up the shopping bag and turned around just to see Yang Nainai's suspicious expression. He teased her, 


"Did you make up some sort of weird tales inside your head again? Do I, Huo Yixuan even need to slap until my face is swollen to act like I’m a fat man [2] to uphold my ego?"


The store attendant’s eyes widened in surprise at his purchase so Yang Nainai pulled Huo Yixuan away before cautiously asking him, 


"Why does your parents give you so much money to spend?"


This whole situation didn’t make any sense to Yang Nainai at all. She was just an ordinary high school student, and most of the classmates and friends around her were just ordinary people too. So Huo Yixuan was the only person that she knew who would spend so much money, and buy things without blinking his eyes at all.


Huo Yixuan intertwined his fingers together with Yang Nainai's, and said as he walked, 


"Baby, Huo gege will bring you to buy your clothes now."


Yang Nainai refused without hesitating, 


"There’s no need to do that. I'm poor so I can't afford it."


Huo Yixuan was taken aback by her straightforward attitude. He then began to laugh out loud, 


"Nainai, why are you so cute? There's no reason for you to spend money when you go shopping with your boyfriend. Don't worry, just buy whatever tickles your fancy. Huo gege is rich."


Yang Nainai glared at him, 


"No, I fear that you won’t be able to pay off the credit card debt one day so I’m not going to just blindly spend that money."


Huo Yixuan burst out laughing again when he heard her words. He pinched her face as he looked at her adoringly.


"Nainai, you are so freaking cute."


In order to prevent Huo Yixuan from spending more money, Yang Nainai took his hand and said, 


"I'm starving to death, are you hungry, I'll treat you to dinner."


Huo Yixuan raised his eyebrows and gave her half a smile, 


"That's rare. You are such a stingy person and now you are inviting me to dinner. Okay, what should we eat?"


Yang Nainai looked around, and finally pointed to the cafeteria in front of him and said, 


"Buffet, it’s 69 yuan per person. My treat."


She led him to the self service buffet restaurant, in which they could have their hot pot and barbeque at the same time. Yang Nainai had wanted to come here to try it out for a long time, but she couldn't find anyone to accompany her for it.


Huo Yixuan happened to be here, so she finally had someone to join her today.


Huo Yixuan stared at the store, and was slightly disgusted by it. 


"This kind of self service buffet always serve plain food."


"Aiya, you can grill your meat of choice here. I'll help you cook any type of food you wish to eat if you just go in with me." 


Yang Nainai was afraid that this pampered young master would choose a super expensive restaurant if they delayed entering the place any longer so she hurriedly tried to persuade him instead.


Huo Yixuan, who was not interested at first, suddenly lit up when he heard this, 


"You'll cook it for me? Really?" 


“Yes, yes, yes! The meat I grill will be super delicious. It will be equivalent to how a professional chef does it, trust me!”


Yang Nainai's eyes flashed enthusiastically, as the confidence in her eyes kept blinking the sign “Trussst me, TRRRUUUSST ME!!”.


Huo Yixuan was a little torn by his warring desires, and he still felt a little suspicious of her, 


"What will you do if it's not delicious..."


"It will be delicious, positively scrumptious, trust me!" 


Yang Nainai acted adorably, like a little nursing puppy.


Huo Yixuan looked at the signboard, then snorted. He dipped his head and leaned close to her ear, 


"Baby, if it's not delicious, you have to do whatever I want after the meal, okay?"


Now it was Yang Nainai's turn to hesitate, this ermm... 


It's a pity that Huo Yixuan didn't even give her a chance to think about it anymore as he tugged her straight into the restaurant.


Yang Nainai paid then she saw that Huo Yixuan had chosen a seat by the window. After choosing what she wanted from the buffet counter, she walked over to him. 


"Which one do you want to eat first?"


The waiter had turned on the electric pan and pot[3] for them, so she just needed to wait a little before she could start cooking the food.


Huo Yixuan glanced once at all the food in front of him and picked up a cherry tomato casually then he said, 


"Didn’t you say the meat you grill is delicious? I'm waiting for it, baby."


Yang Nainai was about to say something, when the waiter came in with a Yuan Yang pot [4], and all of a sudden their whole cooking set up was complete.


Yang Nainai poured some of the ingredients in hot pot and oiled the grilling pan at the same time. She then started to grill the chicken wings.


The chicken wings were already marinated beforehand so they only need to grill it before eating it, and the whole process was so simple that even a fool can cook it like a pro.


Huo Yixuan turned on the newly bought phones, and while downloading the apps that they usually use. He then said to Yang Nainai, 


"Baby, this phone has its own program. I'll take it back and set the whole thing up for you. I’ll test it out for you to see if there are any apps that automatically deducts your money every month. Once I finish doing this then I’ll pass it to you."


Yang Nainai turned the chicken wings over and asked suspiciously, 


"The phone brand is so widely known so there shouldn't be such an app, right?"


Huo Yixuan only raised his hand to shove a small sushi into her wide opened mouth and said with a smile, 


"Baby, it’s better to be careful than to regret it in the future. There’s no harm in testing it out anyway. We’re not in a hurry anyway, hmm!"


Translation corner:

[1] 气宇轩昂,人神共妒- I put the meaning inside the chapter. This is just for your reference

[2] 打肿脸充胖子 - means that the person’s ego is too big until he needs to harm himself in order to keep up his image. In this case Yixuan is telling Nainai that he is rich so she doesn’t need to worry at all.

[3] Electric pan and pot: 

I’m sure some of you might be wondering what this looks like.



Basically, the usual Chinese version will have the soup in the middle for you to blanch your food while the surrounding pan outside will have a place for you to grill it. 

[4] Yuan Yang pot: A deep soup pot that can hold two different kinds of soup. The image below shows how the pot looks like without the grilling pan and number 3 is how it looks like if there is a hole in the middle to hold the pot. Some of the versions will just sit on top of the grilling pan instead.





Usually the base is rounded but this version has a flat bottom.
