The maid quickly brought over ready-made clothes for Chu Xiaoxiao to try on. These clothes were naturally selected based on her figure. Of course, these clothes were only for trying on. If she really wanted them, she would have to take her measurements first. After that, Jiangnan Textile would weave the clothes according to her measurements and the pattern she had chosen.
The maid brought over ten sets of clothes and then withdrew on her own.
Everyone knows the rules here.
There are no incessantly chattering "sales assistants" to disrupt the romantic moments in the fitting room.
The usual practice is that it's a loving couple; the husband helps his wife undress, then helps her choose clothes, and then helps her undress again...
But He Yunxiao clearly didn't have that kind of courage.
Let Chu Xiaoxiao change clothes in front of him? Let's wait until the grass on his grave is already a foot high before we talk about it.
"Chuchu, try it yourself. I'm going out now. Call me if you need anything."
After He Yunxiao left, Chu Chu looked at herself in the bronze mirror with a complicated expression.
"Xiaoxiao, I want to kill He Yunxiao."
Xiao Xiao: "If you kill him, who will take care of those bad women for you?"
"I'm starting to lose control of him."
Xiao Xiao: "Chu Chu, why are you always trying to control others? Your brother won't like someone like you."
"Why are you calling me 'Chuchu' like him now?"
Xiao Xiao: "But you need to have a name, right? Should I call you 'Chu Xiao Xiao'?"
Why not?
Xiao Xiao: "'Chu Xiao Xiao' likes her brother, but you don't. You only like yourself."
"I like Chu Fan."
Xiao Xiao: "Liar. Nobody would believe that."
The room returned to calm. Chu Chu looked at the clothes that had been delivered to the room and chose a relatively ordinary one, but with wide sleeves that could cover her hands.
Chu Chu silently removed her outer garment, revealing a white inner garment. The inner garment was made of a thin material, and one could vaguely see that she was wearing a red silk bodice embroidered with lotus flowers underneath.
For Chu Xiaoxiao now, her inner garment was a bit too tight.
However, she had reservations about completely letting go.
Once Chu Fan feels that his sister has grown up, he will deliberately keep his distance from her. Then she can no longer cling to her brother every day like before.
She might even be pushed out by her brother to get married.
Even Chu Xiaoxiao herself understood the slim chances of success.
Over the years, Chu Fan has remained as steadfast as a block of wood, impervious to reason, and has always treated me only as her own younger sister, never having any inappropriate thoughts or actions.
The so-called "liking" is just wishful thinking on one's part.
Compared to Chu Fan, Chu Xiaoxiao disliked the other boys even more. They were too simple, too boring. Weak and uninteresting.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't want this to happen, so she often had to suppress her feelings so that she could still appear as a "little" girl in front of Chu Fan.
Now, taking advantage of the break while changing clothes, I finally have a chance to get some fresh air.
She loosened her inner garment slightly, revealing an opening. In an instant, the room felt as if sunlight had pierced through the clouds and shone directly onto the snow-capped peak.
Snow reflects sunlight, thus creating a white expanse, which makes perfect sense.
Squeak.
The door opened a crack.
He Yunxiao poked his head in and kindly advised, "Chuchu, if you like a dress with short cuffs, that's okay. All the clothes here can be altered. Just have them make the cuffs bigger, a little bigger... I'm sorry!"
*Smack*
The door was suddenly slammed shut.
Having seen something he shouldn't have, He Yunxiao felt he was doomed.
To be honest, I really underestimated her before.
A moment later, Chu Chu changed her clothes, opened the door, and said expressionlessly, "He Yunxiao, come in."
He Yunxiao silently prayed to the Bodhisattva for protection before cautiously entering the house.
Chu Chu took out the bell that controlled the Soul-Devouring Pill and placed it on the table, coldly saying, "He Yunxiao, do you think that just because you're a little useful, you can act recklessly and do whatever you want?"
He Yunxiao's brain was racing, trying to find words that were neither too weak nor too harsh to argue with Chu Chu.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me!
"Lord Chuchu, wasn't it Xiaoxiao who was changing clothes just now? As far as I know Lord Chuchu, she would never do such a thing."
Chu Chu blinked, realizing she couldn't refute him, and could only grit her teeth and admit, "Of course, of course it's her."
Xiao Xiao: ?
He Yunxiao laughed heartily.
"That makes things easier. Miss Xiaoxiao is always reasonable. Although I offended her, it was only out of good intentions, and she certainly won't blame me. How about this, I'll buy all the clothes that were sent for her to try on as an apology. What do you think, Lady Chuchu?"
Chu Chu couldn't refute it, since she had already admitted that it was Xiao Xiao who changed clothes. Therefore, this was a matter between Xiao Xiao and He Yunxiao.
Rather than teaching He Yunxiao a lesson, Chu Chu clearly didn't want to lose her "wise persona" by doing something like "deceiving" or "going back on her word."
She had no choice but to swallow her anger and say, "Okay."
Since we're planning to buy them all, there's no need to try them on.
He Yunxiao called over a maid, intending to take Chu Chu's measurements.
However, He Yunxiao understood what Chu Chu meant from her eyes.
I won't even let a woman touch me.
So He Yunxiao had no choice but to say to the maid, "Give me the measuring tape, I'll measure myself."
The maid was used to such requests.
Some loving couples can take an hour just to measure their bodies.
She readily handed over the measuring tape and thoughtfully instructed He Yunxiao, "You must measure your bust, waist, hips, shoulder width, arm span, height, and leg length; you can't miss a single one."
