What If Xia Yan Turned into a Girl, Part 21

"Let's buy this set... never mind, let's just pack up all the other outfits we tried on earlier, and pay for them together with the shoes."

After comparing the shirts on the hanger with his hands, Xia Yan ultimately didn't dwell on it too much and simply decided to buy them all, showing his extravagant spending power.

In fact, Xia Yan previously suffered from "choice indecisiveness," a seemingly harmless symptom that actually caused her to waste ten to twenty minutes every day—a truly incurable condition.

When buying water at a convenience store, I'll browse the beverage shelf, slowly eliminating certain types of drinks, and then agonize over whether to drink Oriental Leaf or mineral water.

Or perhaps it's a little dilemma at lunchtime: whether to eat noodles or rice.

If you waste about ten minutes every day, that adds up to five hours a month and a staggering 2.5 days a year.

However, it's already getting dark outside. If we waste any more time buying clothes, we won't be able to proceed with our next plan after watching the movie.

Xia Yan didn't want to come out after watching the movie only to find it was almost midnight and she couldn't get a taxi or take the subway, leaving her to sleep on the streets.

She still has some sense of self-protection.

After all, the occasional stares Xia Yan received while walking on the street made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although it wasn't a blatant stare, it was still hard to accept being looked at like that by a guy who was a fellow male comrade not long ago.

In fact, it's possible that most eyes were on Hua Xin, who was bent over and almost folded up like a screen next to her.

"Okay, miss, would you like cash or a QR code payment?"

"We provide invoices. If you are not satisfied, you can exchange the product with the invoice, but we do not support returns."

The sales associate, sporting a professional smile, clearly gleamed with pleasure; selling so many items in one go meant a substantial commission...

Commission?

Oh, right!

The sales assistant seemed to remember something and, seeing that Xia Yan was alone, kindly reminded him:

"Your man..." As if realizing that the relationship might not be like that, she quickly changed the words she was about to say.

"Your friend is still in the fitting room. Would you like to wait a bit and then pay together?"

Xia Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, then stopped his slow steps forward, a substantial silence appearing on his face.

Yes.

She's not buying clothes for herself now. Since she usually shops alone, she subconsciously overlooks the otaku who's still trying on clothes in the fitting room.

With a sigh, Xia Yan nodded politely again in reply:

"Oh right, I almost forgot..."

After handing all the clothes to the sales assistant, Xia Yan frowned as she watched the time ticking away on her phone.

Has Hua Xin been trying on the suit for almost fifteen minutes?

Why is he taking so long to try on clothes? Could it be that the fitting room has triggered the Little Black buff, causing him to faint inside, or did he find a sense of home and fall asleep?

It seems like all of those possibilities are indeed possible.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, Xia Yan headed towards the men's fitting room. Fortunately, it was almost closing time and there weren't many people in the store; otherwise, her walking straight into the fitting room might have made her seem like a pervert.

"Hey, are you done changing? If you dawdle any longer, you won't get dinner." Xia Yan knocked quickly on the fitting room door, as if she was about to burst in and find out what was going on.

After all, they were used to it, so there was obviously nothing to avoid.

Oh, it seems Hua Xin hasn't seen her lower body yet...

"Alright!!"

Perhaps it was Xia Yan's comment about not having dinner that provoked Hua Xin, because a strong voice rang out afterward, dispelling Xia Yan's impulse to barge in.

"Click".

The door opened from the inside, and before Xia Yan could even complain that Hua Xin seemed to be taking even longer than a girl trying on clothes, he was bewildered by the person in front of him who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

No...

Who are you, handsome guy?

A genuine look of disbelief appeared in Xia Yan's eyes.

After cutting off her unconventional hair and getting a clean and stylish new hairstyle, Hua Xin, dressed in a suit that could completely transform a person, looked quite different.

Although he was still somewhat hunched over, his eyes were still a little evasive, and his gaze would occasionally sweep over her chest and long legs covered by trousers.

His appearance has changed to the point where he can be described as a very handsome guy.

But this sleazy, shrimp-headed guy's very obvious personality and temperament remained the same as always.

As expected, Hua Xin couldn't shake her love of food and women.

"How's Lao Xia doing? Is she alright?"

"So-so, far worse than me."

"If it fits, hurry up and take it off to pay the bill." Xia Yan glanced back and forth over Hua Xin before calmly remarking.

"Hmm... I think he looks pretty handsome. So that's why the suit is..."

"Click".

Xia Yan pushed him into the fitting room and closed the door without expression.

"Your boyfriend looks very handsome in this outfit."

The sales assistant clearly saw Hua Xin come out after changing her clothes. After witnessing the change in Hua Xin, she naturally changed the label of "gold digger" to "gold digger" in her mind.

After all, you need to have the ability to live off a woman.

Xia Yan was too lazy to explain. For her, it didn't matter whether she and Hua Xin were brothers, friends, or boyfriend and girlfriend; their relationship would not change.

I just never expected that changing someone's hairstyle and clothes could make them look like a completely different person...

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Hua Xin's features were quite good when she had long hair and looked neither human nor ghost; it was just that her complexion wasn't very good.

"Let's include the suit too." Xia Yan skillfully opened the payment app, seemingly deep in thought.

"Okay, this way..."

Fortunately, the movie theater wasn't far away, and Hua Xin and Xia Yan managed to catch the start of the movie on time.

I remember the last time I watched a movie was alone, but this time at least I had someone with Your Name.

The evening showings were noticeably more crowded, with couples appearing to be more popular than elderly people and children watching the horror film.

In the dim light, Hua Xin stared silently at the invoice that had been tucked into the bag.

Several thousand dollars...

Does he have to sell himself to repay Xia Yan?

I think I got a little carried away with getting new clothes and forgot that the ones that looked high-quality were also priced the same...

"First of all, you should hold hands when you go on a date."

A soft whisper in her ear snapped Hua Xin out of her daze. The movie was playing on the screen, and the prologue had already ended.

He turned to look at Xia Yan. Although the light was very dim, he seemed to be able to see through the darkness into those eyes that always shone brightly.

Although Xia Yan today wasn't as gentle and unfamiliar as she had been a couple of days ago, this Xia Yan was the Xia Yan he knew, the one with whom he could tease and joke around.

However, the gentle and beautiful girl is also very nice.

Hua Xin subconsciously placed her hand in Xia Yan's hand, and a faint warmth enveloped his icy hand.

It seems that if I were to sell myself to Xia Yan...

This is a good thing.
