After finding out Han Yang and Helian Qing were together, She Zhang and the others often saw a glint of adoration within Han Yang's eyes. Before, after their classes were done, they had always pulled the lad aside to chat with him a bit more; but now, at the end of their classes, they would instead wave him away—ushering him to leave quickly, just so Helian Qing would not have to wait for too long. Han Yang was so amazed by this that he had given them the title "The Three Henchmen", which those same three accepted with a hearty laugh, further giving the couple their wishes for a long and happy life together.

Taking advantage of his lack of classes because his semester was coming to an end, Han Yang received a few small games and websites to design, and after he was done, he again deposited the small amount of cash into his bank account.

Presently, there was less than half a month until his winter vacation, so he hurriedly finished his business before going off to the mall with the intention of buying a few things for his grandfather.

Han Yang's home town was located close to the northern part of the country, so come winter, it got very cold. Following his arrival to L-City to attend university, he would gift his grandfather a newly purchased set of down jackets as well as other winter clothing, and this year was no different. Done with buying Grandpa's clothes and boots, Han Yang did not leave the mall right away, choosing to go up to the premium men's clothing section on the fourth floor instead.

He was well aware of Helian Qing having quite a lot of clothes, but he also knew the man did not have any scarves since all of the scarves currently within their cupboard belonged to him. In addition to that, the man also did not wear turtlenecks, so every time Han Yang caught sight of him going out he would feel cold in his stead.

Han Yang planned to buy the man a couple of scarves so as to keep him from freezing. But considering Helian Qing's high-class taste, not to mention his sharp tongue, ordinary scarves would be disliked by him for sure, and after passing through several stores Han Yang still could not find any that were suitable.

By the time Han Yang has strolled through the majority of the fourth floor he had already given up hope. He simply found himself a seat to plop himself down on and take a rest, intending to go check out some other places after a while.

I wonder what Helian Qing's doing... He's probably busy at work, right? Han Yang thought to himself as his gaze remained fixed on the bustling crowd passing in and out of a couture clothing store.

After sitting for a while, he took out his phone and sent Helian Qing a message.

——Princess Qing, what're you doing?

The message he sent to Helian Qing did not receive an immediate response so Han Yang just figured he was busy, paying it no mind. Having rested enough, he got on his feet planning to change locations. With only a couple steps taken, he came to sudden halt, his gaze locked onto the window display of a men's wear store.

There, hanging on the mannequin, was a grey scarf.

Perhaps it was because of the similarity the model's frame and coat bore to Helian Qing which caused the feeling of "being surrounded by Helian Qing" to rise up within Han Yang, perhaps it was something else. Regardless, Han Yang still decided on that scarf the instant his eyes fell upon them—having not the slightest bit of hesitance—as he went into that store.

Apart from the one worn by the mannequin shown on the outside, that store had many tasteful scarves inside as well, therefore Han Yang bought two scarves he selected according to Helian Qing's usual style. As he was paying, Helian Qing had replied to his earlier message, and in taking a look at the message, Han Yang inevitably laughed.
