"Alright, Brother Ye Feng, no haggling over prices today, okay~"
As she spoke, Su Yuxin shoved a pile of clothes into Ye Feng’s arms, a mischievous smile curling at the corners of her lips.
"Yuxin, what are all these clothes for...?"
Ye Feng looked down at the heap of garments in his hands, estimating there were at least a dozen. A sense of foreboding slowly crept into his heart.
"These are all casual wear! After all, Brother Ye Feng, you can’t just wear a suit every day when you go out. I wasn’t sure what colors or patterns you’d like, but these are all limited-edition pieces, so I bought them all for you in one go."
"Wha—you bought all of them?! And they’re limited edition?!"
"Of course! It’s just a few pieces of clothing—it’s not like they cost much."
"......"
Ye Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to steady his shock. But then it occurred to him—given Su Yuxin and Li Mucheng’s status and family backgrounds, this was nothing to them. What was a fortune to him was just pocket change for them.
"Alright, alright! Brother Ye Feng, hurry up and go try them on! I’ll wait for you outside~"
Su Yuxin impatiently nudged Ye Feng toward the fitting room.
"Yuxin, stop pushing me—I’ll go change, okay?"
Click.
The sound of the fitting room door locking echoed softly, followed by the rustling of fabric as Ye Feng began changing. Su Yuxin pouted and stomped her foot in frustration.
Honestly! Why does Brother Ye Feng have to lock the door just to change? What’s he so afraid of? It’s not like I’d eat him!
......
"Sigh."
Ye Feng’s head throbbed as he stared at the sea of clothes in the storage box. Truthfully, he wasn’t much of an outdoors person—he much preferred staying in. Before coming to this world, he’d been a full-blown homebody.
After randomly picking out a casual outfit, he unlocked the door and stepped outside.
"Hmm?"
Hearing movement from the fitting room, Su Yuxin turned around and saw Ye Feng standing behind her.
"So, Yuxin, what do you think? They all look pretty similar to me—trying on one as a sample should be enough, right?"
"Whimper..."
Su Yuxin hadn’t expected Ye Feng to be so casual about this. Seizing the moment while he wasn’t paying attention, she quietly slipped a mysterious key into her pocket, then crossed her arms and huffed at him.
"Brother Ye Feng, how can you be so careless?! I picked out every single one of these especially for you, and you’re just going to brush off my effort like that?"
"Uh... well..."
"Nope, absolutely not! How will I know if they suit you if you don’t try them all on? So hurry up and get back in there!"
"Fine, fine, I’ll go. Just stop pushing me, Yuxin."
With no other choice, Ye Feng reluctantly agreed. The thought of trying on so many more clothes made exhaustion seep into his bones.
Only when Ye Feng disappeared back into the fitting room did Su Yuxin finally relent. She shot the store clerk an "OK" hand signal, and the clerk nodded, flipping the store’s sign from "Open" to "Closed" before stepping outside. Clearly, this had all been Su Yuxin’s doing.
Once she confirmed there were no outsiders around, Su Yuxin pulled out the key and turned toward the fitting room...
"Hmm... why is this T-shirt pink? Did Yuxin even pick these out properly?"
As Ye Feng examined the pink tee with a cartoon character printed on it and prepared to take it off, he suddenly heard a noise from outside.
"Sorry, this room’s occupied."
Assuming it was another customer trying to use the fitting room, he politely called out.
Jingle—click.
But the sound that followed wasn’t what he expected—it was unmistakably the sound of a key turning in the lock.
What’s going on?! Is some creep sneaking in here with... questionable intentions?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Ye Feng pressed his hand firmly against the door to block the intruder.
Feeling the push from the other side, his suspicions only grew stronger—there really was some pervert out there lusting after him! If this ended in some kind of bad ending, he’d be traumatized for life!
"Listen up, you creep! If you take one step inside, I won’t hold back—Ye Feng’s fists don’t play nice!"
"I’m not a creep!"
Su Yuxin’s voice rang out from the other side, freezing Ye Feng in place. Before he could react, she seized the opportunity, shoving herself through the gap in the door and slipping inside.
"Heave-ho~"
"Eh? W-Wait! Yuxin, hold on—"
"No time to explain, Brother Ye Feng~"
The second she was inside, Su Yuxin pressed her petite frame against Ye Feng’s chest. The sudden warmth left him completely stiff.
"Haaah~"
She buried her face in his torso, inhaling deeply, her emerald-green eyes fixated on his chest.
"Pant... pant..."
"Y-Yuxin?"
Noticing her strange behavior, Ye Feng held her shoulders and asked worriedly,
"Yuxin, are you okay?"
"B-Brother Ye Feng... I... I..."
Her face was flushed red, and the atmosphere grew increasingly awkward. Just as Ye Feng tried to push her away, Su Yuxin suddenly lost all restraint—she yanked up his T-shirt and crawled inside.
"Hehe, huff huff~"
!!!!
"Yuxin, stop messing around, I—"
As Ye Feng reached to pull her out, she squirmed around like a frantic little hamster, scrambling upward until—
"Ta-da~"
Her tiny head popped out from the collar of his shirt, her expression buzzing with excitement.
"......"
Ye Feng stared at her, mere inches from his face, then closed his eyes and took another deep breath.
"Yuxin, if you keep this up, I’ll have to resort to my secret technique."
"Oh~? I’d love to see what Brother Ye Feng can do to me~"
Thud
......
"Ow... Brother Ye Feng, you have no idea how to treat a lady properly~"
On a bench inside the mall, Su Yuxin rubbed her head, her lips pouting dramatically.
"Me not treating you properly?! Yuxin, look at what you just did—was that even human behavior?!"
"It’s because Brother Ye Feng is just too irresistible!"

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
