The women's clothing store is a magical place, because the clothes sold here are not only for girls to wear, but for boys as well...
A terrible suggestion, originating from a terrible idea.
"What would Xiaole look like in women's clothing, I really want to know!"
From Charley's tone, Wang Xiaole didn't sense any joking intent, but instead felt a hint of anticipation.
Faced with a voice as cloying as Charley's and a smile as charming as hers, out of ten men, nine normal ones would pamper her, fulfilling all her requests.
However, Wang Xiaole was different, he wasn't quite normal;
The conditions that could move him were not related to the other party's favor or gratitude, but rather more realistic.
"If I satisfy Charley, will you release the restraint on my arm?"
Ever since the surprise attack before, going out afterward, and the time he went to have his fortune told to predict his love life, Wang Xiaole's arm had been entangled by Charley with a whip.
Charley did this to prevent him from running away, but this concern was unnecessary now;
Just the secret of wearing women's clothing was enough to make Wang Xiaole accompany her on today's date to the end, without any thought of slipping away midway.
Obviously, Charley had also considered this, so she was happy to do him a favor and asked with a smile:
"Trading freedom for wearing women's clothing, do you agree?"
What was left to Wang Xiaole was a choice, between two options.
The whip entangling his arm would bring physical discomfort;
Choosing and wearing women's clothing would bring mental discomfort.
So the question is, which kind of discomfort does Wang Xiaole want to give himself?
After some thought, he felt that a poem was enough to describe his current mood:
Masculine attire has its value, but freedom is priceless.
He ultimately chose women's clothing, and informed Charley of his decision in person.
Oh? Are two lines missing from the poem?
Indeed, for the person involved, the temporarily missing second half of the sentence should be:
For the sake of love, either can be cast aside!
"Xiaole, feel free to pick out clothes you like according to your own preferences, and the bill will be on me."
So he had to buy women's clothing...
After muttering this to himself, a black line appeared on Wang Xiaole's forehead, visibly increasing;
Even when he was led by a female shop assistant to look at clothes, his expression seemed lackluster.
Charley noticed this uncomfortable expression, finding great enjoyment in it.
Charley's character was not exactly kind, one might even say she had a bit of a morbid sense of humor, enjoying watching people she liked display that kind of melancholy response.
Precisely because she liked it, she would completely immerse herself in it, and with a stingy attitude, repeat a sentence countless times in her heart:
"I will treasure this expression, just for myself"!
Before long, Wang Xiaole entered the fitting room guided by the female shop assistant with the clothes he had chosen.
Now, standing inside changing clothes, Wang Xiaole abandoned the last shred of his pride, courageously pulled back the curtain, and presented his current self to Charley outside.
The white off-shoulder top, revealing two fair arms, bared not only the shoulders but a lot of skin to the air;
The combination of black leather skirt and black stockings below created an innate desire for black, amplified limitlessly;
Exquisite high heels supported the feet just right, making the body appear tall and slender.
When the person tilted their snow-white neck and moved the crossed arms behind their head, revealing smooth armpits, the demeanor became even more beautiful and enticing.
"Charley, how do you think of the clothes I chose?"
"Great!"
The "great" was what Charley intended to say, but the female store clerk beat him to it.
Initially, when the female store clerk learned that Wang Xiaole, a man, was going to choose women's clothing, she felt quite disdainful inside.
There were already big players in women's fashion in this era, but both in quantity and quality, they couldn't be compared to over 600 years later;
The concept of boys wearing girls' clothing had not deeply penetrated her heart to a certain extent.
In her over twenty years of life, she had never seen a male come here to pick out new clothes for themselves;
When she encountered Wang Xiaole as an exception, she initially planned to mock him regardless of his identity after he changed clothes.
But from the last moment onward, her thoughts changed.
When a male without any outstanding features wore women's clothes and she saw his appearance, the female store clerk was enchanted.
In her over twenty years of life, even considering dream experiences, she had never seen such an incredibly beautiful person.
It's no exaggeration to say that she felt that the reason she lived her whole life was for that moment just now.
As Charley expressed dissatisfaction and inquired about the price of the outfit, the female clerk stared at Wang Xiaole without even looking at Charley, and replied while ignoring Charley,
"Don't, don't worry about the money! Girl, not... Handsome guy, no... Anyway, you can have any clothes you like, take them for free."
As Charley asked questions and the female clerk answered, it seemed as if she were conversing with Wang Xiaole.
Her "generosity" triggered someone's displeasure.
Charley, standing nearby at an easily observable angle, saw that person quickly approaching and slapping the female store clerk on the back of her head while reprimanding:
"What are you taking? Is this your store, are these goods you brought in?"
From the tone, Charley understood:
This woman is the real boss!
The person who was the boss was different, even after catching a glimpse of the stunning celestial beauty that astonished her heart, she didn't have too severe a reaction;
At most, after shooing the clerk back to the door, she used a friendly tone to say:
"Is this your first time at this store, young lady? I can give you a 10% discount;
By the way, do you have any time recently? If you're willing to make time for a date with me, I can offer an even bigger discount..."
Before the female boss could finish speaking, Charley approached and blocked her line of sight, softly but protectively saying:
"Disappear now!"
This low whisper was like a roar, not loud but extremely intimidating, frightening the boss away from her own store right then and there.
Wang Xiaole witnessed Charley's prowess and, restraining the urge to applaud, asked somewhat hesitantly:
"Since I'm already dressed and you've seen how I look, can we leave this store now?"
"Not yet, I still need to buy new clothes!" Charley replied.
The process of one choosing clothes while the other waited played out once again, but this time their positions were reversed.
A few minutes later, Charley emerged from the fitting room in changed attire, unabashedly showcasing a seductive figure to their admirer.
With a slender and graceful figure, exquisite features, and a charming smile, Charley exuded a captivating allure.
Smooth and delicate snowy-white skin, a slender and supple waist, clad in a thin layer of white silk that highlighted their shapely legs.
Wearing a pure white dress that emphasized their ample and erect bosom, revealing their fair arms and fragrant shoulders; the curvaceous and firm lines of their youthful body were all beautifully displayed.
The dress was fastened with a thin belt, the front skirts overlapping to suggestively reveal glimpses of their toned legs; the hem adorned with a fringe, adding to the dress's airy flow.
On their slightly bashful face, a delicate and straight nose complemented their soft and flowing contours; their peach-toned cheeks exuded extreme beauty.
Their petite cherry lips curved ever so slightly, enticingly bright red; the neckline of the dress exposed a section of their milky-white neck, adding a hint of allure.
Their full and alluring bust rose and fell with each breath, charming and captivating; the form-fitting fabric enveloped their slender waist and pert, shapely hips, evoking fervor.
Their cloud-like hair cascaded naturally over their white shoulders; the short dress revealing a pair of dazzling and round jade knees, along with the graceful and alluring form of their smooth calves.
Such a look was flawless in every possible way!
In the next moment, Charley looked at Wang Xiaole expectantly, clearly awaiting words of praise.
"It's fine," was all Wang Xiaole offered.
That simple remark was all he could muster; asking for more words would have felt burdensome.
"Do you have any other thoughts, Xiaole?"
Charley was genuinely in a predicament at that moment.
Initially thinking of remaining silent, Wang Xiaole realized that Charley wouldn't give up easily until something new was said.
After careful deliberation, he voiced a different sentiment to the patiently waiting Charley, still keeping it to no more than two words:
"It's okay."
Taking into account the repeated word, the feedback Wang Xiaole gave Charley now amounted to four words!
Though not too many, viewing it positively, it wasn't too few either.
With this realization, Charley made the decision to accept it.
"I had my eye on a few other pieces earlier. Should I try them on for you, Xiaole?"
"No need to trouble yourself; that would be too much trouble. Let's just leave this store quickly."
The word "impression" consists of four characters. In order to dodge selecting clothes for each other, the feedback given stretched out to twenty-three characters, a difference of nearly sixfold.
Why is Wang Xiaole so indifferent towards Charley?
Because "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"!
Are these two in a romantic relationship?
Of course not!
Therefore, Charley, the non-romantic young lady, despite possessing beauty comparable to Xi Shi's, appears to be just a passing cloud in someone else's eyes.
Upon leaving the store, as per the rules, the clerk presented a small gift;
The true identity of that gift is something both of them could never have imagined.
