Xiao Man picked a Hawaiian-style floral dress.
Even Li Sinian, who intended to agree, couldnāt help but shake his head, "Weāre going to the beach. Itās already a bit chilly, and youāre wearing something so thin, youāll be cold."
"No, you will hold me, and itāll be warm," she smiled with eyes full of joy.
"Change to another one. It looks nice, but I donāt want you catching a cold."
"What about this one?"
"So bright red, didnāt you say you wanted to save it for Christmas?"
"Canāt bear to buy me a new Christmas dress, huh?"
"Of course not. If you didnāt limit my credit card, the whole store would be yours tomorrow."
"So extravagant, what should I do with you," Xiao Man laughed brightly, comparing the dress against her body.
Li Sinian didnāt have to pick clothes; he always wore the same black suits and black coats. He just grabbed one and was already dressed, sitting on the bed to help her choose.
Xiao Man rummaged through the wardrobe for a long time, finally finding a dress suitable for early winter, paired with a small jacket. Just as she was about to pick shoes, Li Sinian still shook his head, "Manman, donāt be stubborn, itās cold outside, wear something thicker."
"This oneās nice... itās not cold today," Xiao Man insisted, trying to bargain.
Li Sinian shook his head decisively, "No, youāve been getting sick often, you canāt catch a cold again. Be good. Wear this one, itās fitted and shows off your figure."
"But I think this one looks better... I like it..."
"You can like it at home, but not for going out."
Seeing the negotiation was failing, Xiao Man had to compromise, "Then Iāll wear it underneath... and add this coat."
"Alright."
Xiao Man finished picking her clothes and turned around to notice something, "Youāre all dressed already?"
"Of course, unlike you."
"No way, why do you always wear black? Didnāt I buy you a burgundy one? Wear the burgundy, itāll match my coat perfectly!"
"Iāve never worn itā"
"Iāll get it for you!" Xiao Man eagerly went to his wardrobe and fetched the brand new suit set for him, "Take off the clothes, Iāll help you wear them."
"Okay, okay, I know. I can dress myself, just hurry and find your shoes, or the sun will set soon."
Since she loved to see him in burgundy, he wore burgundy, to please her.
"Mr. Ah Nian, are you complaining Iām slow?"
Li Sinian smiled, "I wouldnāt dare."
He quickly even took off his shirt, and Xiao Man brought over the matching shirt to help him put it on.
"Donāt move, Iāll dress you! Iāve never helped you dress before."
Li Sinianās lips curled up, "Iām not a big baby, nor disabled, why would you need to help me dress?"
"I like it! Let me do it," Xiao Man said, glancing up at him and stealing a kiss.
Li Sinian nodded repeatedly, alright, alright, whatever she likes, he agreed.
After helping him dress, she buttoned each button, carefully smoothing out any wrinkles, and even tied his tie neatly.
Li Sinian lowered his head slightly to see her unusually serious expression.
His voice lowered, "Why do I need a tie?"
"A tie is formal."
"Does a date need to be formal?"
Xiao Man nodded, chuckling lightly, "Yes, because youāre going on a date with the prettiest girl in the world, it should be formal."
After saying this, she couldnāt stop laughing.
