Yi Yi chuckled, "You think I can't handle you, you little brat!"
Yi Yi had already changed her clothes and came out. She looked cute and playful in the mirror, and her smile was like a little sun, warming everyone's hearts. Thinking that Mu Nanxun would be wearing the same clothes as her later, she was quite looking forward to it.
"Oh, young lady, this outfit fits you perfectly, it suits you very well." The shopkeeper walked around her enthusiastically. This girl was a perfect clothes hanger; even though it was just a simple sweatshirt, it looked just as good on her as it did on models and celebrities.
"Thank you, Auntie, I like it too." Looking at the little fox in the mirror, Yi Yi smiled, her cheeks flushed.
"Yes, I remember now, this matching outfit also comes with a pair of matching wristbands. They're not anything valuable, but they have a good meaning; they're said to be the marriage ropes held by the God of Marriage."
"The Old Man of the Moon...?"
This was the first time Yi Yi had ever heard this title. What strange and wonderful things do humans think about all day long?
"Yes, it's that white-bearded old man who lives in heaven, in charge of marriages on earth. As long as a man and a woman tie the marriage rope in his hand, they can live happily ever after..."
Yi Yi smiled and nodded. She didn't know anything about matchmakers or predestined relationships, but the proprietress had a really sharp tongue; she could talk a better game than she could sing.
As she spoke, the proprietress walked to the counter, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out two red, woven thin ropes from a small box.
"Girl, in a little while, you and your boyfriend—oh no, I should call him fiancé—each of you will wear one on your wrist. Then, wear our matching outfits to get your marriage certificate. You'll definitely be able to love each other and stay together for a lifetime."
"Thank you, I'll try to get him to tie it..."
Yi stuck out her tongue, took the red rope, and looked towards the door of the fitting room.
This guy has been inside for quite a while now, why hasn't he come out yet? Is he stalling for time?
Yi walked over and knocked on the fitting room door.
"Mumu, are you done yet? It's getting late, we still need to rush to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"..."
There was no movement.
Hey, is this guy sulking?
Yi Yi knocked on the door again, her temper flaring. "Come out quickly! If you don't come out, I'm going to the Civil Affairs Bureau myself. If I happen to meet someone on the street who looks alright, someone who's not too bad-looking..."
With a creak, the fitting room door opened. A person emerged from the fitting room with a dark expression.
The red hoodie fits just barely, a little too small. Two little foxes on the chest lie lazily facing the viewer, two pointed ears droop on the hood, and a red tail hangs down behind.
The outfit looked cute and playful on Yi Yi, but somewhat comical on Mu Nanxun, who had a more aloof demeanor. Adding to the awkwardness, his cold expression clashed completely with the enthusiastic little fox image he wore.
For the first time in his life, Mu Nanxun felt an urge to find a crack in the ground and disappear into it.
However, seeing that Yi Yi was dressed the same as him, Mu Nanxun felt a little comforted.
"Pfft..." Yi Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud. To be honest, Mu Nanxun looked good in this outfit; in fact, with his god-like looks, he would look good in anything. It was just that she was used to seeing him in a suit and tie every day, and the Mu Nanxun in front of her was so different from usual that Yi Yi found it a bit funny.
