Chapter 266
The space inside the fitting room was cramped.
It could barely fit two people standing, and the air was filled with the faint scent of clothing fragrance.
Ye Zhenzhen had just undone the first button of her collar when she noticed the door behind her being squeezed open.
She snapped her head up and looked directly into the boy's bright eyes.
???
The girl's hair stood on end, her face full of disbelief.
With a backhand click, Gu Ran locked the door. He then took a step forward, pressed both hands against the door panel, and firmly trapped the person in front of him between his body and the door.
His eyes curved into a smile. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Shulian's smiling voice came clearly from outside the fitting room.
"Zhenzhen, where did you go? Come over and help Mom take another look."
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen was so scared she bit her lower lip hard, her body tensing up.
Her picturesque eyes glared at her restless younger brother, filled with a warning.
Ye Zhenzhen: (￣へ￣)
Gu Ran: ＼(^▽^＠)ノ
The latter remained unmoved, even raising his eyebrows at her with a smile.
The aloof girl took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly.
"Um, Mom, you look at the other ones first. I, I'm trying on clothes!"
Outside the door, Ye Shulian let out an "oh" and did not press further.
She stopped walking, turned around, and continued chatting casually with the store clerk.
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Inside the fitting room, the crisis was temporarily averted.
But the girl's back was already soaked with cold sweat. She raised her small hands and pressed them hard against a certain someone's chest.
She wanted to push him away but didn't dare use too much force, afraid of making a noise and drawing her mother's attention.
She could only use her eyes to hint frantically.
Get out of here right now!!
Ye Zhenzhen: (｀(エ)´)ﾉ
Gu Ran didn't move.
He leaned against the door panel with one hand and lowered his head slightly. The distance between them was so close that their breaths intertwined.
His warm breath landed on the girl's ear, carrying a hint of damp heat.
"Sister..."
He said softly, his face full of innocent sincerity.
"Why is your heart beating so fast?"
"???"
He had the nerve to ask her?!
This dog of a guy only knew how to tease people all day long!!!
The girl's pretty face burned like it was on fire.
Before she could think about what to do next.
The boy's head had already lowered.
Accurately covering her soft lips.
......
Outside the door.
Ye Shulian's high heels seemed to be wandering just a few steps away.
"This girl, why isn't she coming out yet?"
Inside the door.
The faint, watery sound of their lips and teeth intertwining was infinitely magnified in the quiet, cramped space.
Ye Zhenzhen's mind went completely blank.
The fear of being discovered at any moment mixed with another indescribable emotion, sending blood rushing straight to the top of her head.
How, how should she put it... it was a bit thrilling...
She gripped the hem of Gu Ran's shirt with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Bolstered by the tension and excitement, her delicate body gradually softened, her resistance completely crumbling, allowing him to take whatever he wanted.
A few minutes later.
The fitting room door was gently pushed open a crack.
Gu Ran glanced outside and, seeing no one looking in their direction, slipped out silently sideways, still holding that large-sized qipao in his hand.
The expression on his face was serious and aloof, devoid of any emotion.
Another moment passed.
The girl slowly emerged from the fitting room.
Her entire face was red from the base of her ears to her neck. Her gaze darted everywhere, looking at anything but the people around her.
"Why is your face so red? Is it too stuffy inside?"
Noticing her daughter walking over, Ye Shulian turned around in surprise and reached out caringly to touch her daughter's forehead.
"Yeah... the space is too small, it's a bit stuffy."
The girl mumbled, stumbling over her words, but Ye Shulian's mind was completely on the new clothes.
Seeing that her daughter had changed, she took her arm and walked over to the mirror.
The amazement in her eyes almost melted into a puddle of spring water.
"So beautiful, you look like you just walked out of a painting."
In the mirror, the girl wore a pale yellow traditional qipao, looking shy and timid.
The length of the dress just covered her insteps.
It made her whole person glow, making her look even more tender and delicate.
Gu Ran walked up behind the girl. Because an elder was present, he maintained a normal social distance.
But his gaze wasn't so well-behaved.
Looking from behind, the girl's slightly hunched back gave this qipao a different kind of flavor.
Like a flower bud ready to bloom.
Ye Zhenzhen met the boy's eyes in the mirror, and her small face turned even pinker.
Because the boy's eyes held undisguised admiration.
The girl unconsciously twisted her fingers together in front of her.
How could he look at someone like that, her mom was still right next to them...
So shameless!
Just as her thoughts were running wild, the store clerk seized the moment and stepped up, holding a hairpin.
She deftly pinned the girl's braid to the back of her head.
"Wearing this dress, you look exactly like a young lady from a prominent family in the Republic of China era!"
"Your whole family is so good-looking, it's truly enviable!"
The clerk was so enthusiastic she couldn't stop talking, and then immediately played matchmaker.
"Why doesn't this gentleman also try on the new Chinese-style Zhongshan suit in our store? It would make a perfect pair with this beautiful lady."
"We just got a few new arrivals in the store recently!"
A, a pair...
These words made Ye Zhenzhen's pink cheeks instantly change color. She quietly raised her brows and stole a glance at her smiling mother beside her.
A feeling of a guilty conscience surged in her heart, and she waved her hands repeatedly to explain.
"No... no! We..."
She swallowed the last few words, and no one could understand what she was saying, but her increasingly guilty expression was obvious!
Ye Shulian looked at her daughter's self-deceiving little appearance and smiled, shaking her head.
She was blushing so hard, yet still being stubborn.
Gu Ran ignored the girl's verge-of-collapse expression and followed the clerk's words directly.
"Alright, please get two sets, one in size 180 and the other in 185."
Hearing this, the clerk grinned from ear to ear and briskly went to find them.
Ye Shulian knew as soon as she heard it that he was going to buy one for Gu Xiangcheng too.
"Xiao Ran, your dad isn't here either, what if it doesn't fit..."
"Don't worry, Aunt Ye, if it doesn't fit, we can always come exchange it."
Gu Ran took the clothes from the clerk and smiled comfortingly.
"We're a family, it's nice for us all to match."
After saying that, the boy walked into the fitting room, and not long after, stepped out.
The clerk couldn't hold back the amazement in her eyes and praised without holding back.
"These clothes are truly tailor-made for you! They fit perfectly!"
A black Chinese-style top with frog fasteners, embroidered with a few bamboo leaves on the left shoulder.
The entire outfit perfectly accentuated the boy's physique.
His long, straight legs filled the trousers, faintly revealing the firm contours beneath the fabric.
Ye Zhenzhen stared at the boy, who looked completely different from usual, and spaced out.
This guy...
Changing his skin, he actually looked quite the part.
But when she thought about the things he had just done in the fitting room.
She couldn't help but blush and hum softly.
(`3´)!
A big-tailed wolf in human clothing!
......
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
