Chapter 66: Disastrous Damage
"I feel that this young lady is better suited for cute-style clothes. This type of outfit requires a very cold and elegant temperament to pull off."
Out of respect for Gu Zhiren's presence, the shop assistant spoke with great politeness.
"Yeah. I think he's absolutely right~"
Mu Yi nodded her head, silently giving the shop assistant a thumbs-up. After saying this, she handed the white stockings back to Gu Zhiren.
"Many things, you only know how they turn out after you try them."
As he spoke, Gu Zhiren tilted his head with a confident little smile and pushed the white stockings back into Mu Yi's hand. "Go try it on. It'll only take a few minutes."
Hearing this, Mu Yi pressed her lips together and stared at Gu Zhiren without a sound. She tried hard to signal him with her eyes, hoping he would let her off.
But Gu Zhiren just smiled gently and mumbled something like "Don't just stand there, go."
He was too much!
So annoying. How could he be like this? Could it be that he himself had a thing for nuns? Since she needed to wear a cosplay outfit anyway, was he using this chance to satisfy his own selfish desires?
Pervert! You're disgusting! You're shameless! You have no decency!
Mu Yi pouted and cursed him in her heart.
But she didn't throw a tantrum at Gu Zhiren on the spot. Instead, she held the nun costume with a look of grievance and obedience. She walked with small, careful steps and slowly entered the changing room.
As soon as the curtain was drawn, many pairs of eyes outside turned toward the changing room.
In fact, quite a few people had been noticing Mu Yi from the beginning, especially the cosplayers.
They all thought, the white-haired girl had a face kissed by God.
She was small in stature and slender.
If she were a bit shorter, she'd be a loli! But unfortunately, she didn't look legal.
Such an adorable girl, wouldn't she clearly be better suited for cute-style clothes?
There was no way she could pull off this kind of nun costume. Forcing it on would only make people cringe and laugh!
While they were all quietly convinced of their opinions, the shop's style designer was also chatting with his assistants nearby, sharing his own view.
"This girl changing into that nun costume will be a disaster for the eyes!"
The male designer raised his orchid finger and covered his face.
His assistants all nodded.
The shop assistant standing next to Gu Zhiren looked a bit embarrassed. He couldn't help touching his nose, secretly thinking that he absolutely must not laugh out loud.
The whole scene felt a bit like "The Emperor's New Clothes."
Like the child in that story, the shop assistant had dared to speak up once, and he would dare to speak up a second time!
But he absolutely could not laugh.
More than two-thirds of the people in the shop were openly or secretly waiting to see a joke. But Gu Zhiren stood there calmly, then quietly adjusted his cuffs.
As soon as Gu Zhiren adjusted his cuffs, everyone in the shop couldn't help but pull back their gazes a little.
It was as if an invisible pressure had suddenly fallen on them.
It made them shiver.
…………………………
Mu Yi didn't know what was happening outside. She had just walked up to the fitting mirror.
She gripped the nun costume tightly with all ten fingers, gathered her courage, and turned around to look at herself in the mirror. She couldn't help pressing her lips into a hard line, her eyes widening slightly.
Her breathing became fast.
Ever since the day her gender changed, she had vaguely felt like a sharp blade was hanging over her head. One day, it would fall.
It would cut away her past identity as a male and shatter her fragile hold on that identity.
forcing her toward an unfamiliar future.
Mu Yi didn't want to face it.
She felt more and more lost. She kept lying to herself. She kept running away.
Until her father told her, just live the way that feels most comfortable to you.
If she put on this women's clothing, she would feel like she was moving further and further away from her past self, and slowly getting closer to the unknown future version of herself. Because the future was unknown, she felt afraid.
She didn't know what would happen, but Mu Yi had already cut off her own escape route.
She looked down at the nun costume. The white-haired girl closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.
………………………
Shhh—
The moment the curtain opened, everyone's attention instantly focused on Mu Yi.
The girl's snow-white hair fell softly on both sides of her face. On her head was a pure white nun's headpiece, embroidered with a pattern of thin vines.
The black-and-white fabric tightly wrapped around her delicate body. Her mature fullness was hidden beneath black lace, and that tempting hollow was cruelly covered by a small piece of white fabric.
Between the long hem of the dress, the girl's straight, white, ivory-like legs were exposed.
But what caught people's attention most was her face. Her crimson eyes carried a coldness that kept others at a distance. Hidden in her brows was a trace of her original cuteness and obedience.
Even though she had no makeup on, her whole aura had changed completely.
She was like a different person from before.
Pure as a lotus just rising from the water. Cold as a flower blooming on a high mountain.
At that moment, Mu Yi let go of the curtain and slowly walked out of the changing room.
Even though many burning eyes were fixed on her, her face showed no emotion. No pride. No shyness or embarrassment.
Everyone stopped thinking. Their eyes were locked on Mu Yi, as if admiring the most beautiful thing in the world. They couldn't look away.
The cosplayers felt a sudden sense of defeat. The male designer's face was full of shock and appreciation.
He had never seen such a beautiful girl. If he could design a complete look for her, he would cry with joy. He would even do it for free!
The shop assistant's mouth fell open. He couldn't believe this was the same girl from just a moment ago.
While everyone was shocked by the girl,
Gu Zhiren suddenly stepped forward a few times, neatly and gracefully. He forced Mu Yi to walk backward into the changing room. Then he stopped at the entrance and used his back to block everyone's view.
This action snapped many people back to reality, but they kept watching with amused expressions.
"It really suits you. But wearing this must be cold. Change back now."
Gu Zhiren nodded slightly and smiled. After saying this, he reached out to pull the curtain closed.
Even though he really wanted to go inside,
and then pull the curtain shut behind him.
This nun costume suited her far better than he had imagined. Of course, he knew something was missing. If she would just honestly wear the matching white stockings...
The effect would probably double.
"Wait. I still want to try on that camouflage outfit…"
Mu Yi twisted her legs a little. Although she was indeed feeling cold now.
If she put on the white stockings, it might be better. But that would be the death of her!
"No need. Just from the size, it fits."
At this point, Gu Zhiren started pulling the curtain closed. His voice slowed and became even gentler. "Take both of them home. I'm giving them to you. Your writing has been good lately. Consider them… a reward from me."
Hearing this, Mu Yi's pupils slightly shrank. Small ripples stirred in her heart.
A reward, huh…
The curtain was soon pulled fully closed. As Gu Zhiren's face disappeared from view, Mu Yi closed her eyes. She placed her five fingers lightly on her chest and patted it gently.
Then I'll accept them. I need them for the video anyway.
First, go to the hospital to see “bishoujo”.
After the visit, go back and shoot the video!
