Chapter 161: Chapter 164: Fake Boyfriend

"Sister Shen, this doesn’t quite fit, does it? I also feel it doesn’t fit. I’ll go change back," Xiao Yi said.

Being stared at by Shen Xiaoxiao, who was gazing at him as if he were a national treasure, with wide-open eyes, Xiao Yi immediately felt uncomfortable and hurriedly turned to head back to the fitting room.

"Hold on, change what? If this suit doesn’t fit you, then no clothes in the world will fit you!"

Shen Xiaoxiao, as if awakening from a dream, realized that Xiao Yi was about to go back and change his clothes. She immediately rushed over, grabbed him, and started examining him from head to toe with an immensely satisfied expression, uttering sounds of amazement, "This is just too perfect. My taste is indeed sharp—phenomenal!"

Then she suddenly remembered something, her expression becoming somewhat excited, "Today is saved, haha, I’m saved today!"

Xiao Yi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao in bewilderment, not understanding why she was so delighted. The beginning was still reasonable, a bit of self-love, praising her own good taste in choosing a suit. But what did she mean by the end? What was saved?

"Alright, cashier, we’ll take all of these. How much?"

Shen Xiaoxiao ignored Xiao Yi’s puzzled look and boldly shouted at the cashier.

"Miss, the total is fifty-three thousand yuan."

The cashier, upon hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, snapped out of her daze, shifting her gaze from Xiao Yi and inwardly marveling, "Indeed, clothes make the man. You really can’t tell at all. This country bumpkin, once dressed up, has actually become such a handsome man. This lady truly has an eye for style."

After marveling to himself, he glanced over Xiao Yi and then announced the price.

"Charge it to the card."

Hearing the cashier’s quote, Xiao Yi, having some idea that these clothes would definitely be expensive, at least twenty or thirty thousand, still couldn’t help but be surprised. He was about to speak up to stop the purchase, but Shen Xiaoxiao seemed unconcerned, as if the announced price was as trivial as fifty-three yuan or even five yuan and three cents, casually pulling out a card from her bag and handing it to the cashier.

"Okay."

The cashier respectfully took the card from Shen Xiaoxiao with both hands and headed to the service counter.

"Sister Shen, I’ll go change," Xiao Yi said, watching the cashier walk away with the card, knowing that Shen Xiaoxiao had definitely purchased the clothes. Not saying much else, he sighed, secretly resolving to find an opportunity to repay her. Although Shen Xiaoxiao wouldn’t care about the money, he couldn’t just accept it without returning it.

As he spoke, he turned to head back to the fitting room.

"Hold on, what are you changing for? You look just fine as you are," Shen Xiaoxiao immediately called out to him.

"Sister Shen, I can’t possibly go out wearing these now, can I?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback, turned his head toward Shen Xiaoxiao, and gave a bitter smile.

"Why not?"

Xiaoxiao gave him a stern look and commanded, "Look at how good you look now, so it’s settled. You’re wearing this outfit today. As for your other clothes, pack them up and take them home for another time."

"Isn’t this a bit too much?"

Xiao Yi was still hesitant.

"What’s wrong with it? It’s decided. Let’s go."

Xiaoxiao glared at Xiao Yi, just as the waiter had finished processing the payment and came over with the receipt and invoice. She casually took them and stuffed them into her bag, then naturally grabbed Xiao Yi’s hand and headed for the exit.

When Xiaoxiao walked out of the store holding Xiao Yi’s hand, it once again caused everyone to turn their heads. However, this time, the crowd didn’t look at Xiao Yi with the initial surprise or even scorn, along with hatred. Instead, it was all looks of disbelief, and some girls even gave Xiao Yi incredibly lovesick glances.

"Tsk tsk, who would have thought; our little brother cleans up quite well. So many beauties are smitten with you. Even your sister here is really a bit smitten."

Upon stepping out of the department store, Xiaoxiao immediately became playful again, looking askance at Xiao Yi as if seeing him in a new light, a teasing expression emerging on her face.

"Are we heading out already? Sister Shen, you didn’t invite me out today just to buy me clothes, did you?"

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected Xiaoxiao to take him out so soon. Ignoring her teasing, he asked in surprise.

"Yeah, how about it? Isn’t your sister nice to you? How will you repay her? How about, just make do and devote yourself to me?"

"Cough... Sister Shen, stop joking around."

Xiao Yi, hearing Xiaoxiao bring up this ambiguous topic again, immediately blushed. Just now inside, Xiaoxiao had teased him to the verge of madness. He coughed and spoke.

"Sister isn’t joking, how about becoming your sister’s boyfriend?"

Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi’s slightly flushed face with a provocative expression.

"Sister Shen..."

"Xiao Yi, I’m serious. Sister invited you out today because she wants you to pretend to be her boyfriend tonight to meet an extremely annoying guy and help me drive him away."

Seeing Xiao Yi start to look anxious, Xiaoxiao finally dropped the teasing demeanor and looked at him seriously, "That guy is someone with quite a background and influence, and he’s been pestering me lately until I can take no more. I had no other choice but to think of this plan. One thing I should tell you beforehand is, after you pretend to be my boyfriend, that person might possibly become vengeful and resent you. Are you willing to help me?"

"This..."

After hearing about today’s affairs from Xiaoxiao, Xiao Yi was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Xiaoxiao to bring him here for this. Although he completely disregarded what Xiaoxiao said about the person harboring resentments, he felt uneasy. Could he really pretend to be Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend? Could he pull it off?

"What’s the matter? Are you unwilling? It’s alright, little brother. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. Actually, I’ve been quite conflicted myself. That person has a very strong background; although I am not afraid of him, I can’t guarantee he won’t play some tricks behind the back and target you."

Seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, Xiaoxiao thought he was backing out in fear after hearing about the man’s strong background. Slightly disappointed and a bit crestfallen, but it was just for an instant, as she quickly reassumed a smiling face and spoke to Xiao Yi.
