The custom clothing shop is located inside the market; it's a small storefront.
The shop is only about eight or nine square meters in size. There is a small two-seater sofa, a small coffee table next to the sofa, and several brightly colored ready-made clothes hanging on the wall.
Zhou Lerui entered the store and greeted the owner with hugs and kisses.
"Hi Charlie, good job!"
"Oh my god! Rui Rui, my darling, it's been so long, I've missed you so much."
Lin Xuan's first impression of the shop owner, Charlie, was that he was some kind of slutty and cheap woman.
He was at least 1.9 meters tall, almost as tall as Xia Feng, but he was as thin as a bamboo pole.
She had chestnut-brown long hair, exaggerated eyelashes (in a bright colored way), nude lipstick, and wore a tight-fitting patchwork animal skin outfit with pointed high-heeled boots. A light brown fur shawl was slung over her arm.
Charlie's voice was deep and magnetic, with a sexy and glamorous ending, and every gesture he made exuded a bitch vibe.
Charlie and Peng Ze knew each other, and Peng Ze even held his hand and lightly kissed it.
This whole set of fancy moves left Lin Xuan completely stunned.
"This is my good friend, Lin Xuan. You can just call her Little Bao. The main reason I came here this time is to have a battle outfit made for her."
Zhou Lerui stretched out her arm and pulled Lin Xuan out of Xia Feng's arms.
"My goodness, what an adorable little baby! Nice to meet you!"
Charlie opened his arms, wanting to give Lin Xuan a hug, but was intimidated by Xia Feng's sharp gaze behind her and withdrew his arms.
"Milk, Nestor Mite has it, spit it out!"
Lin Xuan was also quite at a loss. She and Charlie hesitated for a long time, and finally they politely shook hands with each other's fingertips.
"Is this your friend? He's such a manly and sexy guy!"
Charlie winked at Xia Feng.
"His name is Xia Feng, and he's Xiao Bao's boyfriend," Zhou Lerui introduced, rolling her eyes.
Xia Feng put his arm around Lin Xuan and nodded to Charlie, showing great satisfaction with Zhou Lerui's introduction.
Charlie blinked his big eyelashes and looked the two of them up and down a few times, then covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Xia-ge and Xiao-bao-meimei have such a good relationship. We can also customize couple outfits here. Do you need any?"
Xia Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he gently touched Lin Xuan's hair, asking, "Shall we get a couple's wedding?"
"Um----"
Lin Xuan didn't actually want to choose a couple's outfit because couple's clothes might look too ordinary and wouldn't show off her unique personality.
Moreover, she and Xia Feng already have many matching outfits, such as several wolf fur sweaters and pants made by Xia Feng, and even their fur boots are the same style.
However, refusing her brother might result in a spanking, so Lin Xuan hesitated for a long time without giving a definite answer.
"Okay, then let's order a couple's outfit."
Xia Feng didn't really want to ask Lin Xuan's opinion. Didn't he know what this little brat was thinking? But since they were a couple, they had to wear matching outfits!
Lin Xuan pouted unhappily. Her brother had already made up his mind, so why did he have to ask her? He was just a dictator.
"OK! I don't know what kind of style you want, Xiaobao. We have some styles that our previous customers have customized for you to refer to. You can also provide your own clothing materials or buy them from our store."
Charlie handed Lin Xuan a thick notebook filled with color-printed photos of ready-made garments.
These days, there are still places that print color brochures; this shop is really something.
The three little ones squeezed onto the small sofa in the store, flipping through picture books. Xia Feng stood to the side with his arms crossed. The small store was packed to the brim.
Charlie called out sweetly and melodiously to the back of the shop, "Honey, we have a special guest. Make four cups of milk tea."
A man inside responded with a "okay," and five minutes later, a man with a buzz cut came out. The man was half a head shorter than Charlie, looked honest and unassuming, and was carrying a thermos and four ceramic cups.
Charlie quickly went over and took the things from the man's hands, then naturally kissed him.
"Try it, this is milk tea my husband made with hamster milk, it's really delicious."
After pouring a glass for each of the four guests, Charlie filled her own glass on the counter, snuggled up to her husband, and they drank it together, one sip for the other.
Zhou Lerui and Peng Ze both knew Charlie's husband, while Lin Xuan and Xia Feng had not met him before. They nodded politely to each other.
The group was still traumatized by the mouse milk ice cream they had just tasted, so none of them dared to touch the cup in front of them.
In the end, Zhou Lerui couldn't refuse Charlie's request and reluctantly took a bite.
"Hmm? Not bad at all, you guys should try some too."
Peng Xiaozhe and Lin Xuan saw that Zhou Lerui had drunk some, so they also took a small sip.
It's silky smooth on the palate, with no pungent fishy smell, which is quite good.
After finishing her milk tea, Lin Xuan continued flipping through the picture album.
She has difficulty making choices, and after rambling on for ages, she only mentioned that she wanted something that would 'show off her figure.' Talking to her about styles and designs is pointless.
Charlie looked at Lin Xuan's chubby, childlike face and realized that the request she made was a bit difficult.
This little girl looks very flat-chested; her figure isn't easy to show off.
In the end, Zhou Lerui made the final decision to order a short, light green cape with a hood, decorated only with a circle of snow-white fur along the edge. The material used was soft, mutated animal fur that had already been processed in the store.
Charlie then raised a few special design requirements. He sketched a large outline in his sketchbook with a pencil, and Lin Xuan thought it looked pretty good.
Xia Feng suggested that the hood should have a drawstring so that the hood could be tied to the head.
He had no objection to the design, but warmth should be the top priority.
Zhou Lerui ordered two sets of light and warm clothes and shoes for Lin Xuan and Xia Feng.
She and Peng Xiaozhe also bought two more sets of thicker clothes. The leather jacket they wore underneath looked nice, but it was too thin, and they would freeze to death if they went outside.
Charlie couldn't stop grinning when Zhou Lerui swiped her card to spend so much. After paying the deposit, Zhou Lerui chatted with Charlie for a while longer.
Charlie may have set up his stall outside the base, but he's well-informed about all the gossip happening inside.
The three of them, like naive little turtles who had never seen the world, craned their necks to listen to Charlie ramble on for two hours, until other customers came into the store, and they reluctantly said goodbye to Charlie.
After deciding on their clothes, the group continued shopping at the market.
In addition to the points she earned from completing tasks, Zhou Lerui's ID card also contained a large amount of pocket money given to her by her two older brothers and parents.
I bought a bunch of things for Peng Ze and Lin Xuan, some useful and some not.
Lin Xuan now has countless points, but Zhou Lerui doesn't allow her to spend them. Lin Xuan usually sends vegetables and grains to their family, so she can't just accept the benefits without giving anything back. Miss Zhou is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others.
When they go out to buy clothes or get their hair done, Zhou Lerui always uses her points to accumulate more and more, which results in Lin Xuan having no way to spend her points.
