What to Do if I Am Noticed by the Straight Guy Next Door?

Su Bin couldn’t go anywhere. The phone he was using at that time only had basic functions like making calls and sending messages. Unlike modern smartphones, he couldn’t play games or surf the internet to pass the time. And the key issue was… he still didn’t know Allen’s phone number!

Therefore, Su Bin, trapped in the car, could only stare at the back of Robert’s head and contemplate life.

At this moment, Su Bin could only think about Allen… what kind of person was he?

Su Bin only found out yesterday evening that Allen was “all” because Yang Chengzhe had mentioned that Allen couldn’t speak Chinese. So Su Bin subconsciously believed that posting something like this would never let the person involved find out. But now Allen knows… No, he knew a long time ago!

Based on the time of Allen’s first post, two weekends ago, which was the night he returned from City D… It meant that for the past two weeks, Allen had been fully aware of all his probing attempts, whether it was the garlic broccoli or the marjoram perfume. Even the incident where Su Bin was cornered in the bathroom and questioned about changing rooms might have been intentionally misunderstood by Allen. He even mentioned not liking the smell of garlic on him and needing to shower frequently… Ah, this guy is really despicable QAQ!

When Allen mentioned today that he wanted to accompany him to buy clothes, if he had the time two weeks ago, Su Bin would have switched rooms with Yang Chengzhe long ago and wouldn’t have ended up in this embarrassing situation!

Su Bin felt a growing sense of horror and couldn’t help but cover his face… He hadn’t dared to tell Chen Xiaotian about this matter, and he probably never would. This shameful secret would have to accompany him to the grave Q_Q!

Lost in his thoughts, Allen returned and saw Su Bin’s perplexed expression while being trapped in the car, which made him burst into laughter.

Su Bin silently complained… Allen must be a pervert!

After Allen got back in the car, Su Bin immediately said, “Can you ask Robert to stop the car near that HSBC ATM for a moment? I need to withdraw some money!”

Allen glanced at him and directly said to Robert, “Please take us to the shopping center near Oxford Street.”

Su Bin, being magnificently ignored, said, “…”

After a while, Allen finally responded, “You don’t need cash to buy clothes; you can use a card.”

Su Bin said, “…but I’m running out of cash, and I might need it to buy other things later.”

Allen replied, “I have some.”

“Ah?” Su Bin took a while to understand what Allen meant and immediately asserted his right to get off the car, “If I borrow your money, I’ll have to pay you back. It’s too troublesome. If we come across an ATM later, I’ll just withdraw some money!”

Allen fell silent for a long time again before saying, “Parking by the roadside will be inconvenient for Robert.”

Robert, who was silently driving the car, said, “…”

Su Bin: “…” Feeling completely devoid of freedom, what should he do?

Fortunately, the bank wasn’t far from the shopping center Allen mentioned, and they arrived quickly.

After getting out of the car, Robert drove away, leaving Allen and Su Bin standing on the side of the road, one being a dull oil bottle and the other being a dull gourd. A gust of wind blew by, causing a few leaves to fall~~

There were already quite a few passersby on the roadside who were giving curious glances at Allen and Su Bin’s peculiar combination.

Allen frowned and looked at Su Bin, asking, “Don’t you have any place in mind?”

Su Bin thought to himself, I’m not familiar with this place… Weren’t you supposed to accompany me and take me to a specific place to buy clothes? I didn’t expect you to come along as an assistant once you finished your business… Oops.

“How about we just wander around for now?” Su Bin suggested. After all, it was a commercial area, so there must be places to buy clothes around. He could just walk around and see.

However, after hearing Su Bin’s words, Allen’s frown deepened. He asked, “How many pieces of clothing do you want to buy and what are they?”

Su Bin replied, “I want to buy a turtleneck sweater, a winter coat… um, also two new pairs of underwear. As for the rest, I’ll see when I find something.”

Allen asked again, “What’s your budget?”

Su Bin thought, you finally have a sense of “accompanying” me, huh!

He thought about it carefully and calculated, “Not exceeding 80 pounds?” The clothes he wore in China were priced between 300 to 500 yuan, and the underwear probably ranged from 30 to 50 yuan. As for the sweater, depending on the quality, it would be around 200 to 300 yuan. So he reported a budget that was neither low nor high and asked Allen, “Do you have any recommended stores?”

Allen raised an eyebrow, “An 80-pound sweater?”

Su Bin replied, “Um, in total.”

Allen said, “…Sorry, given the limited conditions, I don’t have any suitable recommendations.”

Su Bin: “…” What the hell are you here for! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Seeing Su Bin’s frustrated expression, Allen’s slightly impatient mood suddenly improved, and he smiled, “You’re so clueless. Wandering aimlessly is just a waste of time. Either you follow me, and I can help you choose… but I have a condition.”

Su Bin asked, “What condition?”

Allen said, “If I pick clothes for you, you can’t refuse.”

“…” What kind of condition is this? What if I don’t like the clothes you pick?

But then Su Bin remembered Yang Chengzhe’s words in the morning, saying that “Allen has good taste”… “What if you pick something I can’t afford?” Su Bin anxiously asked. This was an important question, after all. Allen’s spending power seemed to be several levels higher than his!

Allen confirmed with Su Bin, “Your budget is only 80 pounds, right?”

Su Bin replied, “Um, maximum 100 pounds~”

Allen said, “Okay.”

Okay? That’s straightforward. Su Bin glanced at Allen, considering that he usually dressed quite stylishly, and decided to trust him. “Um, let’s go with that then.”

Allen nodded, “Let me reiterate, from now on, I will help you choose the clothes you want, but remember, you have no right to object, no decision-making power. You must try on the clothes I pick for you, and if I think they’re good, you have to buy them.”

“I know, I promise!” Su Bin knew about the temperament of this young master. It was the same when he made him clean the bathroom. He insisted on a “promise.”

To be honest, Allen’s proposal actually pleased Su Bin because he didn’t like buying clothes back in China. The dazzling array of options in the shopping malls overwhelmed him. Sometimes he would even struggle with whether a certain piece of clothing looked good or was suitable, and whether Chen Xiaotian would like it… It was too much trouble!

Now someone was willing to pick and make decisions for him. Wasn’t there anything more satisfying than that?

After that, Su Bin just followed Allen like a headless fly.

But along the way, Allen remained silent, leaving Su Bin feeling a bit frustrated. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Allen, do you speak Chinese?” Su Bin realized that when dealing with someone like Allen, he had to initiate conversations himself to avoid awkward silences.

Allen replied, “I don’t.”

Su Bin was surprised, “Then how could you understand… the posts on the cliff?”

Allen smiled and glanced at him, “A friend of mine who understands Chinese saw that post.”

Su Bin: “…” Finally, a reasonable explanation.

Allen smiled and said, “I thought you would figure it out. I revealed some important information.”

“Ah?” Su Bin thought for a moment and asked, “Are you referring to the username ‘all’?”

‘All’ was the first three letters of Allen’s English name. Su Bin had considered that possibility, but then Brother Cheng dispelled his doubts with a single sentence…

After listening to Su Bin, Allen explained, “You can interpret it that way, but those three letters are actually the initials of my full name, just like your ‘sb’… I heard my friend say that ‘sb’ is a curse word?”

Su Bin: “…” Big brother, life is tough! QAQ

“I don’t know what your full name is…” Su Bin said in frustration.

Allen glanced at him, “Didn’t you see it?”

Su Bin was puzzled, “When?”

Allen said, “The day I ordered takeout from the Royal Kitchen, I remember when I signed the card, you kept peeking.”

Su Bin: “…” Big brother, do you have eyes on the back of your head! “Your handwriting was so messy, I couldn’t see clearly…”

At the same time, Allen also reported his full name, “I’m Allen Lense Lewis.”

“Lewis,” Su Bin remembered. The delivery person that day called Allen “Mr. Lewis.” Su Bin asked, “Is your Lewis the same as the surname of the B country’s Prince William (Louis)?”

Allen shook his head, but he seemed happy, “Are you imagining again that I’m some kind of prince?”

Su Bin: “…” Orz… Big brother, I was wrong, you don’t have eyes on the back of your head, you have mind-reading powers!

“No, it’s…” Allen looked at a building right in front of them, “It’s that Lewis.”

Su Bin looked up and saw a huge sign on the facade of the building—j.lewis.

j.lewis was the largest department store in B country with a history of 150 years. It had nearly 30 branches throughout the country and sold over 500,000 different products.
