He was caught cross-dressing

_

After arriving at the mall, Lin Li skillfully took the elevator to the second floor women's clothing section.

His gaze swept quickly across the shops, until he passed a retro forest-style shop, where his attention was firmly drawn.

On the glass display case, the model was wearing an outfit that caught his eye—a white long-sleeved shirt with a beige wool vest and a brown retro skirt. The overall look was gentle, artistic, and had a touch of Japanese boyish charm.

"So beautiful!" Lin Li walked in without thinking, pointed at the clothes on the mannequin, and asked excitedly, "Do you still have this one?"

The shop assistant looked up at the sound and saw a tall, fair-skinned "girl" whose neat short hair made her face look even more delicate. Coupled with her androgynous voice, she had no doubt about the other person's gender.

"Hey beautiful lady, this is our largest size. Why don't you try it on?" The sales assistant enthusiastically retrieved the clothes from the warehouse and pointed to the fitting room.

Lin Li took the clothes and went into the fitting room.

It wasn't until he took off his shirt and looked at his thin upper body that he belatedly realized why he had come to buy women's clothing.

Wait a minute, the shop assistant just called him "beautiful lady"—meaning he didn't realize his true gender?

He carefully examined himself in the mirror.

Yes, this hairstyle does cover up a lot of his somewhat masculine bone structure, and coupled with his delicate features, he really does look a bit androgynous.

Lin Li, feeling playful, decided to play along. With a smirk, she deftly changed into the outfit.

When he came out of the fitting room, the sales assistant's eyes lit up: "Beautiful lady, you look great! But... it seems like something's missing!"

Lin Li looked down and realized something was missing, so she asked, "What's missing? Why don't you help me put together a combination?"

The shop assistant got excited and quickly went to get a pair of brown ankle boots and a vintage necklace. "How about we try these on?"

Lin Li readily put on the necklace and then tried on the boots. Unfortunately, the boots the shop assistant brought were only size 39, while he actually needed a size 42.

"Excuse me, miss, I'll go find it right away!" The shop assistant quickly ran back to the warehouse and actually found a pair of size 42 shoes in stock.

When Lin Li finally stood in front of the full-length mirror, dressed in his best, even he was somewhat amazed by his own appearance.

The "girl" in the mirror is tall and slender. Her beige vest and brown skirt make her skin look even whiter. The retro necklace and ankle boots are the finishing touches, and the whole outfit is full of Mori Girl style.

"Beautiful lady, are you a model?" the shop assistant couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Lin Li, speaking in a high-pitched voice, feigned modesty: "Not at all, I'm still a student." He was extremely pleased with his new look.

"I'll buy this set!"

He decided to be a "girl" for once today!

The shop assistant happily wrapped up his old clothes and handed them to him, saying, "Welcome to come again next time!"

Lin Li smiled and nodded, turning around happily, but her smile froze on her face the moment she saw that familiar figure at the shop entrance.

Tong Yao stood there, arms crossed, looking at "Lin Li" dressed in a skirt and dressed in a fresh and artistic style with a surprised expression, raising her eyebrows with interest.

Lin Li's mind went blank for a moment, and her only thought was: rush back to the fitting room and change back into her clothes!

However, Tong Yao seemed to see through his intentions, and just as he turned to run away, she reached out and gently grabbed his wrist.

"Wait a minute." Her voice held a hint of amusement as she scrutinized him. "Don't rush off..."

Lin Li stood frozen in place, feeling all the blood rushing to her face. It's over, it's completely over.

Social death has occurred!

Lin Li felt Tong Yao gently pull her wrist, and she froze in place as if she had been frozen in place.

"Don't rush off," Tong Yao's voice remained calm, but her usually cool eyes held a clear curiosity and a hint of amusement.

"This outfit... is quite unique."

Lin Li opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but found her throat tight and unable to utter a single word.

He instinctively tried to break free, but Tong Yao tightened her grip slightly.

"What? You dare wear it but not admit it?" She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over his skirt and vest, her tone carrying a hint of inquiry.

"I didn't know you had this kind of...hobby?"

"No, no!" Lin Li finally found her voice, her voice filled with embarrassment and urgency. "I just... I just thought it looked good! I just wanted to try it on!"

He tried to make his reasons sound more believable, but his flushed cheeks and darting eyes completely betrayed him.

Tong Yao did not immediately refute him, but instead released his wrist and slowly walked around him, as if admiring an interesting work of art.

"Good taste,"

A moment later, Tong Yao stopped in front of him and gave an objective evaluation, a very faint smile curving her lips, "It suits you quite well."

Lin Li wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground. He felt that all his pretense and ulterior motives were laid bare in front of Tong Yao.

"Yao Yao?" Just then, a deep male voice came from not far away.

The two turned their heads at the same time and saw Tong's father walking towards them, carrying a hot drink he had just bought.

His gaze first fell on his daughter, then naturally shifted to the girl in the dress whom she was pulling along.

"Tall girl".

Lin Li's heart was pounding in her chest. She instinctively tried to shake off Tong Yao's hand, but Tong Yao held it even tighter.

Tong's father approached, looked Lin Li up and down, a hint of pure admiration flashing in his eyes, and said to Tong Yao with a smile:

"Is this your friend? He's really tall and handsome." He said, naturally handing one of the hot drinks to Tong Yao and the other to Lin Li, his tone gentle, "Here, classmate, have something hot, it's cold outside."

Lin Li looked at the milk tea handed to her, unsure whether to accept it or not, but it seemed that Tong Yao's father didn't recognize her.

A sly glint flashed in Tong Yao's eyes as she released Lin Li's wrist.

She gently poked his back with her fingertip, gesturing for him to take it. Lin Li mechanically accepted the warm milk tea, her fingertips trembling.

“Dad, she…” Tong Yao began, her tone calm, but she deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

Lin Li suddenly looked at her, pleading with her eyes. If Tong Yao's father found out that she liked to wear women's clothes, how awkward would it be for him to "meet the parents" in the future? What would he think of her? Would he feel comfortable letting Tong Yao associate with her?

Tong Yao sensed that he was about to collapse, and her lips curved into a barely perceptible smile before she continued, "...He's my friend. We'd like to shop around a little longer."

“Sure!” Tong’s father readily agreed. He was worried that his daughter would be lonely shopping for clothes alone, so he had no objection to “two girls” shopping together.

"Then you guys have fun, be careful. When you're done shopping, come find me in the parking lot, right where you got out of the car." He gave this special instruction, then looked gently at Lin Li.

"Classmate, after you're done shopping, let Yao Yao take you to the parking lot, and Uncle will give you a ride home."

Lin Li felt a chill run down her spine. She could only force a smile that she thought was well-behaved and reply in a high-pitched, breathy voice, "Thank...thank you, Uncle."

The voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, but to Tong's father, it just sounded like the "girl" was excessively shy and introverted.

After giving a few more instructions, Tong's father turned and left.

Tong Yao slowly turned around only after her father's figure disappeared at the elevator entrance, looking at Lin Li, who was almost petrified, with a leisurely air.

He was still holding the cup of milk tea in his hand, his body stiff in his dress, and his expression was indescribably complex.

“Let’s go,” Tong Yao said, taking a sip of her milk tea, her tone slightly teasing. “‘Beautiful lady,’ shall we… continue shopping?”

After Tong's father passed away, Lin Li's emotions went through many ups and downs, and she also had the idea of ​​giving up.

Now that he's been seen dressed as a woman, he's not going to pretend anymore!

He naturally took Tong Yao's arm, and deliberately leaned closer to her, saying softly, "Okay, Yao Yao~ let's continue shopping!"

Tong Yao fell silent.

She had forgotten how thick-skinned this person was. Watching Lin Li instantly switch from a petrified state to a "charming young girl" mode, and even casually take her arm, she was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

"Let go." She tried to pull her arm away.

"No~" Lin Li hugged her even tighter, and deliberately shook her arm, "I'm a delicate girl now, Yao Yao, you have to hold my hand tightly, otherwise I'll get lost~"

Tong Yao took a deep breath, looked at the roguish expression on his face that said, "What can you do to me?", and suddenly changed her strategy.

"Fine." She uttered a single word in a cool tone, letting him take her arm, and turned to walk towards another women's clothing section. "Let's go shopping!"

What followed was quite bizarre.

A cool and aloof young woman walked ahead expressionlessly, while a tall, slender "young woman" in a dress affectionately linked arms with her, constantly commenting on the shops along the way in a sweet, cloying voice.

"Yaoyao, look at that scarf! It suits me so well!"

"Yaoyao, let's go check out that store! Their dresses are so pretty!"

Lin Li completely let loose, her acting skills became increasingly adept, and she even adjusted her bangs in front of the reflective shop window.

Turning his head, he saw that Tong Yao's expression even carried a hint of amusement and a look of anticipation, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

Lin Li remained quiet for a while afterward.

Finally, they went into another store, where Lin Li took a liking to a unisex shirt, grabbed it, and went into the fitting room.

Tong Yao, clutching his bag of old clothes, leaned against the wall outside the fitting room, waiting, thinking he had made enough of a scene.

Suddenly, the curtain in the fitting room was lifted a crack, and Lin Li peeked out with a sly smile on her face. In that sickeningly sweet voice, the volume was just enough for the nearby shop assistants to faintly hear:

"Yaoyao~ come in here for a second, I... I can't unhook my bra!"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. The shop assistant who was tidying up clothes not far away visibly paused, casting a curious yet slightly ambiguous glance over.

The hint of indulgence and helplessness on Tong Yao's face vanished instantly, replaced by her usual aloofness, even a few degrees colder.

Looking into Lin Li's smug eyes, she said nothing, stepped forward, lifted the curtain, went inside, and then slammed it shut.

The fitting room was cramped.

Lin Li was facing away from the door, her upper body bare and showing off her smooth lines. Hearing the noise, she deliberately shrugged her shoulders and continued her act in a smug tone: "Hurry up, it's right behind me, you can't hook it..."

He waits for someone's shy or annoyed expression, or for the familiar pinching of the ear and the soft flesh around the waist.

However, the expected response did not come.

The next second, a pair of slightly cool hands unexpectedly reached under his armpits—

"Pfft... Hahaha... Ugh!"

Lin Li is extremely ticklish, especially his armpits. This sudden attack caused him to lose his composure instantly, almost bursting into laughter. He quickly covered his mouth and twisted his body in an attempt to dodge.

Tong Yao remained expressionless, but her fingers moved with unusual agility, gently scratching his waist and ribs.

"Hahaha...Stop! Stop! Tong Yao...I was wrong! I was wrong!" Lin Li huddled in the corner, laughing so hard that tears were almost streaming down her face. She begged for mercy desperately, no longer caring about her high-pitched voice.

Tong Yao then stopped what she was doing, and looked at him with amusement as he laughed, his face flushed and his expression disheveled. She asked calmly, "Still can't untie it?"

"It's untied! It's untied! It's been untied for a long time!" Lin Li shook her head like a rattle drum, panting heavily, no longer daring to act rashly.

Seeing his expression, Tong Yao's lips curved almost imperceptibly. She turned around and deftly lifted the curtain to leave, leaving him with only a cold and aloof back view.

Lin Li, having survived the ordeal, calmed her breathing in the fitting room.

He's doomed! Tong Yao has caught him in his most feared and fatal weakness—he's ticklish!
