Chapter 836: Chapter 837: Souvenirs

"Go on, give it a try."

Zhong Liuyan pushed Feng Yuan, who was smiling and scratching his head somewhat reluctantly. Qi Chen glanced over at the formal attire Bai You was holding and said to Feng Yuan,

"Why don’t you try it on? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in formal wear before."

"Alright, I guess I have no choice."

Feng Yuan said helplessly, picked up the formal attire, and went straight to the changing room to put it on. After a while, Feng Yuan came out and occasionally tugged at his clothing, saying,

"It doesn’t fit very well."

"Of course not, this is just a sample. If you really buy it, it will be custom-made to your measurements."

Zhong Liuyan assessed Feng Yuan, while Pei Yu, standing beside them, turned away with some dissatisfaction. Dou Yanlan said with some surprise,

"Indeed, your aura seems quite different from before."

"Stop it, don’t try to scare me; you’re just trying to trick me into spending money."

Feng Yuan curled his lips and joked. Although the formal wear made him look somewhat sharp, he didn’t really care much for it. He was more concerned about comfort. Remembering something, Feng Yuan said,

"Compared to this one, I prefer the other one."

"What?"

Seeing Feng Yuan turn and slip back into the changing room, Qi Chen was a bit speechless, not knowing what that guy was up to. Agunas, puzzled, asked,

"Does he have formal attire?"

After hanging out with Feng Yuan for so long, it knew what the man owned. That guy didn’t have what you’d call formal attire unless you counted the Ritual Robe, but he wouldn’t really do that... would he?

"Hehe—how about this one?"

Feng Yuan handed over the formal attire to the clerk, proudly boasting as he looked at the black uniform with gold dragon embroidery he was wearing. Agunas said with some speechlessness,

"What is that? Something seems off to me..."

"What do you mean? It’s formal wear, isn’t it?"

"What a strange style; it doesn’t look like Great Xia’s design..."

Zhong Liuyan said with some confusion. Although the uniform Feng Yuan was wearing resembled a military uniform, it was much more elaborate, with a structure more akin to a Ritual Robe rather than a military uniform—the cape, the coat, the structure of the shirt.

Especially the golden decorations, which, though soft as satin, reflected a metallic golden sheen. There were also delicate mechanical components on the arms and shoulders.

"What are you doing exactly? This isn’t something from our world, is it?"

Agunas asked in a voice only Feng Yuan could hear. Although it sounded like a question, Agunas was quite certain of its guess. Nodding, Feng Yuan responded in a voice only Agunas could hear,

"Right—Federal Third Star Ocean Fleet Captain’s Uniform. How’s that?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas repeatedly examined Feng Yuan’s uniform. Although Feng Yuan had not changed, he now seemed more like Wei Fangwu of Nanyu, with a lazy look but emitting a sense that he could lash out and injure someone at any moment, even exuding an intangible majesty.

"Pretty impressive, but how do you plan to explain its origin?"

Agunas said speechlessly. Feng Yuan did not want to bring up his background with Qi Chen and the others, so Agunas was curious about their reaction to clothing that was obviously discrepant from modern attire.

"Is it some unknown regional attire again?"

Dou Yanlan was curious but not overly surprised—after all, Feng Yuan was so familiar with Gitalien, just a Space Gate away from taking Feng Yuan to various regions, so it wasn’t particularly odd for him to bring back unseen attire. Not even Dou Yanlan was clear about the customs and styling of attire in different regions.

"I didn’t expect you to actually own formal wear."

Qi Chen said with an indescribable look, having thought Feng Yuan was like himself, only to find out that he was the only one who had never attended any banquets. Otherwise, why would Feng Yuan have a formal attire that fit perfectly?

"Ah Chen..."

Dou Yanlan looked worriedly at Qi Chen, who shook his head with a smile and said,

"It’s nothing, just a bit puzzled for a moment. Didn’t expect he would also..."

"What’s the big deal? You’ll definitely attend various banquets in the future."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan and bitterly smiled,

"You sure have a lot of confidence in me."

"Don’t you have confidence in Ah Mu?"

"Well..."

"Then isn’t that settled?"

Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"Let’s go, let’s look around some other places first. Speaking of which, isn’t Xiao Shuang also in the breeding house today?"

"What are you up to?"

Qi Chen eyed Feng Yuan with some speechlessness, suspecting the latter’s motives as he brought up the subject, pointing to a nearby dessert shop, Feng Yuan said,

"How about sending her some desserts?"

"Forget it, wouldn’t she buy it herself if she wanted some? As for you, what are you planning to buy?"

Seeing that it was ice cream again, Qi Chen was somewhat speechless. This guy had just swallowed one before entering the store, and now he was ready to have another? Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"What do you think about stuffed animals?"

"What about them?"

Qi Chen found himself struggling to keep up with Feng Yuan’s line of thought and didn’t quite understand what he intended to do. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It’s a gift for Veronia~"

"Shall we take a look together?"

Feng Yuan didn’t wait for anyone to refute and dashed into the store. Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan exchanged helpless glances and followed in. Bai You said somewhat curiously,

"Sending Veronia a stuffed animal? That’s an odd choice."

"What do you think about this one? It’s soft and fluffy~"

Feng Yuan asked, holding up a white sheep plushie. Chen Xin thought for a moment and picked out a stuffed rabbit from the side,

"I think this one is better. That sheep plushie is a bit too big."

The sheep plushie might be fluffy and soft, but in terms of size... Feng Yuan had to embrace it to pick it up. How could little Veronia manage it? Feng Yuan put the sheep plushie back in its place and said,

"I think it’d be nice to use it as a bed, kind of like that Ball Whale cushion."

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan speechlessly and said,

"You didn’t even use that thing. You only used it once during that trip to Calien, and afterward, you just stuffed it carelessly into a closet."

Recalling how that thing unexpectedly tumbled out of his closet, Qi Chen felt a bit helpless, not knowing when the fellow had put it there.

"The dorm is too small, you know. It’ll be better when we get to Maomu Academy~ I plan to drown the living room in cushions~"

"Are you a kid..."

Qi Chen gave Feng Yuan a disgruntled look and said, to which Feng Yuan proudly replied,

"Of course~"

"Eh? Isn’t that Teacher Yan? What’s he doing here?"

Feng Yuan looked over in surprise at Teacher Yan, who was talking to a store clerk. He remembered that the man was still single, and he hadn’t heard of him taking any interest in their homeroom teacher...

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Seeing Feng Yuan trying to sneak over and eavesdrop, Qi Chen grabbed Feng Yuan by the collar and said irritably. Feng Yuan shook his body free from Qi Chen’s grip as Teacher Yan, noticing the commotion, came over with an amused look and said,

"Are you guys buying a gift?"

"Yep~ Teacher Yan, are you here to buy a gift, too?"

Feng Yuan asked curiously. Teacher Yan shook the ticket in his hand and explained,

"Who would I be giving it to? It just so happens that the gift from the event is a plushie."

"A gift? Is this shopping event’s gift a plushie?"

Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised. The department center held a shopping event every so often, where customers could receive special souvenirs for spending a certain amount in a single purchase. Typically, these were small decorative items but, because the items were custom, some collectors would specifically spend to acquire these unique souvenirs.

"It seems so, though I’m not sure what they were thinking."

Teacher Yan said with slight resignation, looking at the bear dolls displayed on the counter. Although the product was very delicate and a significant upgrade from the usual souvenirs, its practical use was much less than that of decorative items. At least he had no idea what to do with it.

"It looks pretty interesting. Should we get one too?"

Feng Yuan asked with sudden interest upon seeing the bear plushie. Qi Chen stealthily looked at Dou Yanlan and said,

"It shouldn’t be very expensive, right?"

"It’s fine. It’s just a bit more expensive than the previous items."

Teacher Yan said indifferently, as he wasn’t particularly interested in purposely collecting those souvenirs. He just happened to need to buy some materials and coincidentally came upon the event.
