Chapter 51

"Women's things are really expensive. How can a little bit of fabric cost over a thousand yuan!"

Leaving the market, Su Yuan kept muttering to himself. He had heard before that women's things were expensive, but today he truly experienced it. Four T-shirts, a few cardigans, a lace dress, a long-sleeved blouse with ruffled edges, plus the jeans, shorts, and several sets of underwear he had bought earlier, the 1,500 yuan he had withdrawn was quickly spent.

Wei Hongye smiled as she watched Su Yuan, who was still complaining. Su Yuan had changed back into the outfit he wore when they first met, but because he was now wearing underwear, his figure looked much more graceful. The more Wei Hongye looked, the more she liked him. This little guy not only had great potential to be a beauty but also had a pure heart, like a blooming lily, extremely beautiful.

"No, I need to withdraw more money!!"

Su Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes scanning the area. He spotted an ATM nearby and hurried over.

This time he withdrew another 1,500 yuan. He still had to keep going!

Passing by a men's clothing store, Su Yuan turned and walked in. He had already bought four complete sets of women's clothing, but after thinking about it, he realized he might not have many opportunities to wear them, and he felt a bit regretful.

In fact, his wardrobe wasn't short of men's clothes, but most of them were either too thin or no longer fit properly. He still needed to add some.

"Su Yuan, why did you go into a men's clothing store?" Wei Hongye, not understanding Su Yuan's thoughts, followed him in. Seeing Su Yuan choosing clothes, she was surprised and asked, "Ah, you're buying men's clothes? Are they for your boyfriend?"

Su Yuan found it hard to answer. If he said no, why was he buying men's clothes? So he didn't answer at all.

"Then you can take your time looking here. I'll go check out the next store." Wei Hongye's eyes twinkled, and she smiled at Su Yuan.

In the store, Su Yuan quickly found a black sporty style that looked a bit domineering. He thought, "It's going to get colder in a few days. Wearing a tracksuit should effectively conceal my curves." Without trying it on, he roughly estimated and said to the owner, "Boss, this one!"

Seeing a customer, the owner's face lit up with a smile, "You have good taste, young lady. This tracksuit is only 299 yuan. Buy two and I'll give you a 20% discount!"

So expensive?

Su Yuan was taken aback by the price. It seemed that not only were women's clothes expensive, but men's clothes were too! A 20% discount meant at least 20% was marked up! He didn't believe the owner wouldn't make a profit after the discount. These fashion retailers were really trying to rip off customers!

After thinking for a moment, Su Yuan didn't waste words. He picked out another similar one and handed it to the owner, "How about 450 yuan for both?"

"Little girl, you're really good at bargaining. Selling them for 450, I won't make any profit. Fine, fine, just to add some foot traffic, I'll sell them to you for 450." The owner said with a pained expression.

After paying, Su Yuan took the two sets of clothes from the owner and gave him a disdainful look. Clearly, there was still a small profit, but he acted as if he had lost money. He really deserved to be looked down upon.

"Su Yuan, are you done?" As soon as they stepped out, Wei Hongye walked over with a paper bag. "Hongye, did you buy clothes too?" Su Yuan asked.

Wei Hongye smiled and said, "Nothing much, I bought you a jacket."

"Buy for me?"

"Yes, consider it a gift from me."

"That's too much trouble." Su Yuan wanted to refuse.

Wei Hongye glared at him, "I've already bought it for you. Do you dare not take it?"

"Uh, okay, I'll take it. How about I treat you to some cold drinks?"

"Sure, I'm tired from walking for so long."

So the two of them went to a cold drink shop, sat down, and quietly enjoyed their drinks. The air conditioning in the shop created a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Su Yuan looked at the various bags on his left and couldn't help but worry. He hadn't expected to buy so many things, and it would be troublesome to carry them all back by himself.

After a short rest, Wei Hongye prepared to take Su Yuan to buy cosmetics. Of course, Su Yuan, who was previously a man, couldn't accept such things. Wei Hongye tried to persuade him, but seeing that his face didn't need cosmetics, she gave up on the idea.

However, she insisted on giving Su Yuan some skincare products. A woman's skin is like fruit in the four seasons; if not properly cared for, how could it remain fresh? After a long lecture, Su Yuan had no choice but to nod and promise to use the products she bought for him.

"Su Yuan, let's get your hair done." Wei Hongye thought for a moment and said. The current Su Yuan had no hairstyle to speak of, and even with her deliberate styling, it looked messy.

This time, Su Yuan couldn't agree. He shook his head, "No, I'm tired now." Wei Hongye pouted, unable to understand Su Yuan's thoughts.

Passing by an eyewear store, Su Yuan stood still, suddenly remembering the many transformation novels he had read. The "seniors" in those novels would sometimes come up with bad ideas, like using bandages to flatten their chests, but a messy hairstyle and deep, old-fashioned glasses were a rare good idea.

This idea, like a lighthouse in the fog, pointed Su Yuan to a safe path. He suddenly had a thought and said, "I want to get a pair of glasses."

Wei Hongye looked at him in surprise, "Are your eyes nearsighted?"

"Anyway, not farsighted." Su Yuan didn't answer directly, smiled, and walked into the eyewear store.

"Welcome, may I help you with anything?" A well-dressed female clerk smiled and greeted him.

"I want to get a pair of glasses."

"May I ask what prescription you need?"

"I want a pair of plano glasses, is that okay?" Su Yuan asked.

"Of course, please choose the frame you like."

Wei Hongye, hearing that Su Yuan wanted plano glasses, was initially stunned but then enthusiastically helped him choose, "Su Yuan, how about this one? It suits your face."

Su Yuan looked at the frame she pointed to, shook his head, and smiled coldly. Wearing this frame wouldn't help with his disguise; it would only make him look more feminine! His current goal was to learn how to disguise himself from the "seniors."

After a quick look, he finally chose a very old-fashioned and bulky frame and said, "This one."

"Su Yuan, why did you choose this one?"

"Yes, miss, please listen to my advice. This frame is not suitable for a pretty girl like you."

"Why not?"

The clerk still smiled, "This frame is too large and might cover your beautiful face. The soft lines of your face contrast with the hard lines of the frame, making it look stiff and out of place. In short, I don't recommend this one."

"Covering my beauty and making the lines stiff?" Su Yuan was delighted. Seeing the price, which was only a dozen or so yuan, he thought, "Great, this is it." He told the clerk, "I'll take this one, please pack it up."

The clerk and Wei Hongye exchanged looks. They saw her as a stubborn little girl who insisted on her own preferences despite others' disapproval. Wei Hongye said helplessly, "Since she likes it, let's buy this one."

The clerk also smiled bitterly and quickly assembled the frame and lenses for her.

"By the way, how much is this pair of sunglasses?"

Su Yuan pointed to a large, metal-framed, gray-lensed pair of sunglasses. He thought they looked a bit like frog glasses and were quite cool. Wearing them would definitely be stylish.

"This vintage polarized sunglasses costs 198 yuan. It's a unisex style and very suitable for you." The clerk, who initially thought the transaction would only be a few dozen yuan, was delighted when the "stubborn" girl also chose a pair of sunglasses and enthusiastically introduced it to her.

"Okay, I'll take this one too." He really liked these sunglasses.

"Thank you for your purchase!"

The clerk watched as Su Yuan and Wei Hongye left the store.
