Chapter 83 - 83 The Hat
83 The Hat
With such a large piece of medical tape on her head, Le Wan did not naively think that she could hide from her family. However, she still thought of buying a hat to cover it up a little. At the very least, after covering it up, it won’t be so visible, and she hoped to reduce the degree of shock her family would have.
Zhai jing naturally agreed. He deliberately lowered the seat so that she could lie down. Then, he drove to the largest shopping mall nearby.
He saw Le Wan sitting on the passenger’s seat and asked with concern,
“Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Le Wan shook her head.
“No, it’s fine. Let’s just buy the hat and go home.”
She felt nauseated and wanted to throw up when she was being shaken in the car.
Zhai Jing unbuckled his seat belt.
“Why don’t you rest in the car for a while? I’ll go and buy you a hat.”
The shopping mall was so big that Le Wan was too lazy to make a trip there, so she gave him an ‘OK’ hand gesture.
Zhai Jing looked at her worriedly. He closed the car door and hurriedly entered the shopping mall. He first looked at the map of the shopping mall and then went straight to the clothing area on the third floor.
As he got up to the third floor, his eyes first scanned the various shops before he accurately found his target.
Zhai Jing looked through the shelves in a hurry. At last, he took a fancy to one of them and handed it to the salesperson.
“Hello, I’d like to pay for this hat. Please hurry up.”
“Alright, this way please.” The salesman led him to the cashier.
The cashier scanned the hat and said,
“Hello, the price of the hat is 3999 Yuan. Would you like to pay by phone or by card?”
Zhai Jing didn’t even frown. He took out his phone and scanned the QR code to make the payment.
When he returned to the parking lot in a hurry, he saw Le Wan lying there peacefully with a pillow in her arms. He opened the car door gently, but he still woke her up.
“You’re back?”
Le Wan opened her eyes and saw the logo on the bag in his hand.
This brand was not considered cheap. She paused for a moment before taking it.
“Thank you.”
“I’ll see if it looks good on you. If it doesn’t, I’ll have to return it.”
Le Wan took out a yellow-green fisherman’s hat and asked in surprise,
“How did you know that I like this color the most?”
When Zhai Jing saw her trying on the hat happily, his heart was filled with joy as well. However, he said,
“It was placed on the outside, I just took it.”
Le Wan carefully avoided the wound and successfully put on the hat. After adjusting the position of the hat with the rearview mirror, she was finally satisfied. On hearing Zhai Jing’s words, she replied,
“Oh, that’s a pity. I was going to praise your aesthetic.”
Zhai Jing reversed the car and took a look at the reflection in the rearview mirror.
Le Wan’s skin was originally fair, and the light yellow fisherman’s hat on her head made her palm-sized face look even paler. Her face, which had lost some color due to her discomfort, was not so obvious under the vibrant color.
Le Wan was also very satisfied with the hat. She felt like he had chosen the best hat.
“It looks as if I was never injured.”
However, Le Wan had underestimated her mother’s understanding of her. The moment she stepped into the living room, she said,
“Mom, I’m back.”
“Oh, the baby is back. Are you hungry?”
Mama Le, who was flipping through a magazine in the living room, looked up at her. Her eyes fixed on the hat on her head.
“I remember you didn’t wear a hat when you went out this morning.”
“Ah, this.” Le Wan rubbed her thumbs together. “I bought it when I passed by the mall just now. Does it look good?”
After she finished speaking, she even turned around and showed it to her.
“It’s good-looking.”
Mama Le knew something was wrong when she saw her daughter fiddling with her fingers. She put down the magazine and walked over to her.
“So why do you have to wear a hat? It doesn’t match your school uniform.”
Her tone was gentle, but there was an unquestionable certainty.
As soon as Le Wan heard this, she knew that she had been exposed. According to her experience, quibbling at this time would only lead to a more tragic end. So, she pretended to be relaxed and collapsed on the sofa, complaining as if offended,
“What else could it be? Mom, I’m telling you, I’ve been really unlucky today. Don’t I have a P.E. class in the afternoon? A few classes share our basketball period in the same stadium. You know I’m the laziest, so I just sit on the sidelines and watch the others play. In the end, I hid so far away, but the ball was still chasing me. Despite everything, with a bang, I was smacked on the head.”
