Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Chapter 465: Chapter 61 This is beautiful and that looks good
 

After lunch, there was a significant disagreement among everyone about how to spend the afternoon.

“I propose we have a book club,” Su Yunjin said, “The team captain has an e-reader at home, does anyone want to join me in reading?”

No one responded.

“Let me add,” Su Yunjin somewhat unwillingly continued, “Today’s reading selection is Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mystery of Xuyang Ridge’, a classic suspense and mystery novel.”

Still, no one agreed. Reading was considered too highbrow, and everyone generally preferred more lowbrow forms of entertainment.

“Let’s watch a TV series,” Zhao Yuanzhen suggested, “Jiangnan Satellite TV is airing ‘Those Little Things of Firewood, Rice, Oil, and Salt’, I watched the first episode, and it was quite interesting.”

Yan’s mother was noticeably intrigued. The series was about the various mundane aspects of a housewife’s life, and her sisters had recently recommended it to her.

“Let’s wait for the series to finish and binge-watch it,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “Isn’t it difficult to wait for each episode?”

This was a lie; she just didn’t want to watch the TV series.

But Zhao Yuanzhen and Yan’s mother took it seriously and gave up the idea.

“How about we go out and buy clothes?” Yan Jing suddenly suggested, “Last time I went shopping with Sister Zhao, we tried so many stores and ended up buying nothing.”

“It’s the second day of the New Year; aren’t the stores closed?” Yan Yu questioned.

“Let’s go to Sijiqing,” Yan’s father suddenly said, “Your aunt owns a shop there, call her and have her open the warehouse for you girls to choose clothes, take what you want, and we will transfer the money to her later.”

“Which aunt?” Yan Yu was surprised.

“Your fourth uncle’s wife,” Yan’s father replied, “She’s in clothing wholesale, remember?”

Yan Yu had indeed forgotten, but the girls were excited and said:

“That’s great, that’s great, going out shopping in public we might get recognized, so being able to try on clothes directly in the warehouse is awesome.”

“It’s the New Year, wouldn’t it disturb people?” Yan Yu still wanted to resist, but his father, who was always decisive, immediately made the call.

“…yes, yes, yes, right, right, just bring the keys and open the door, we will transfer the money… no need to escort, no need, we will definitely pay, you also have your business to run…”

After some polite exchange, the afternoon’s plans were set:

Trying on clothes.

Everyone then excitedly prepared to leave, and just as Yan Jing was changing into her outdoor clothes, Yan’s mother pulled her aside to speak privately:

“This time you go there, keep an eye on your brother, don’t let him mess around.”

“What do you mean by mess around?” Yan Jing pretended not to know, curiously asking.

“Just…” Yan’s mother stumbled, “just don’t let him mess around, there’s no one in the warehouse.”

Yan Jing readily agreed, but she scoffed internally:

“Big brother gave me two million yuan, mom, you wouldn’t spare a dime, why should I listen to you?”

Half an hour later, Yan Yu led his sister and the team members to the clothing wholesale market.

The aunt sent a female shop assistant, who appeared somewhat chilly, handed the keys to Yan Yu, and left — it was New Year’s, after all, being called out of home to work was not inspiring.

Yan Yu took the keys, opened the door, and welcomed the girls into the warehouse, while he himself sat down on a soft chair by the door, took out his phone, and prepared to endure the whole afternoon.

The girls ignored him and quickly started browsing around the clothes racks, picking and choosing.

“This warehouse is huge,” Xie Ruoxi exclaimed, “How many clothes must there be?”

“And there’s even a fitting room over there!” Lin Ning was also surprised, “Why would a warehouse have a fitting room?”

“Because they probably do live-streaming sales here,” Su Yunjin pointed out, noticing a simple live-stream setup in a corner of the warehouse, complete with a camera, lighting, and fitting mirrors.

The girls chatted briefly then quickly dispersed each to find their desired outfits.

Yan Yu sat in the soft chair by the door reading a novel. Not long after, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

“Captain,” Su Yunjin came up to him, smiling, “How do I look in this outfit?”

Yan Yu looked up and saw Yun Jin dressed in a pleated skirt, a white blouse, her chest adorned with a large blue satin bow, her black hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head. She looked like a fashionable high school girl, radiating a pure and somewhat immature charm.

However, having seen Chen Lingyun dressed in a similar style too many times in his previous life, he just shook his head and said indifferently,

“Personal opinion, it doesn’t suit you.”

“Do I not match the student look?” Su Yunjin blinked her eyes.

“Only old women like to dress up as JK. Which real high school girl wears that?” Yan Yu scoffed.

“The captain seems biased against this kind of clothing, I see,” Su Yunjin said with a smile, “then what would the captain recommend?”

“A dress,” he replied.

“Is it because you always see me in dresses, so you said this on purpose?”

“I just think that dresses really suit your temperament.”

“What kind of temperament?”

“Gentle, serene, elegant, and cultured,” he listed.

Su Yunjin felt her cheeks warming up, but her heart was sweet as honey. She courageously asked,

“Then, could the captain help me pick one out?”

Initially, Yan Yu wanted to refuse, but then he thought if he let her choose herself, she might keep trying on various dresses and asking if they looked good. This could become a never-ending bother.

Better I narrow down the choices for her, limit her options so that she can pick her dress quickly and I can be spared the hassle.

“Come with me,” Yan Yu led her to the display racks of dresses and rapidly explained, “As I mentioned earlier about Yun Jin’s temperament, we should avoid too striking colors. Let’s exclude bright red, deep purple, bright yellow, and orange, preferentially considering softer shades like teal, green, blue, and white.”

“Since you’re slim and not overweight, there’s no need for loose clothing to hide anything. Try those dresses that cinch at the waist and reveal the calf, showing off your graceful body curves.”

“Mmm,” Su Yunjin listened more joyfully, thinking to herself, how come you know me so well? Seems like you’ve been very observant.

Love you~

Following the guidelines set by Yan Yu, she picked out a light blue dress and changed into it in the fitting room. She emerged and twirled in front of Yan Yu, eagerly asking,

“How about this?”

“Looks good,” Yan Yu commented.

“The back is too open, showing too much,” Su Yunjin touched the fair skin on her back and neck, feeling a bit shy, “I should try another one.”

“Yun Jin’s back is very attractive, fair like jade, flawless,” Yan Yu, not wanting the hassle of repeated changes, persuaded her, “Only open to the shoulder blades, it won’t look too revealing but will highlight the excellent quality of your skin.”

“I’ll keep this one for now and try on another,” Su Yunjin said.

She then tried on a slightly shorter teal green dress, revealing her smooth, rounded knees and legs. Her skin was as tender and smooth as lotus root, and her leg curves were exceptionally soft and beautiful, eliciting a strong impulse to touch and playfully caress them.

“Is it too short?” Su Yunjin asked shyly, holding down the hem.

“Not at all,” Yan Yu straightforwardly praised, “Yun Jin’s legs are also beautiful, long and straight like ivory, without a hint of gauntness. Such adorable legs shouldn’t be concealed by a dress.”

“I’ll keep this one, too, and look at others,” Su Yunjin’s heart blossomed with joy as she picked out another white dress and headed to the fitting room.

As Yan Yu waited outside, growing impatient, someone suddenly tapped his shoulder from behind.

He turned around to see it was Lin.

“Are you helping Yun Jin pick out clothes?” Lin Ning asked with a smile.

Her words sounded like a question, but her tone was suggestive, clearly having heard their conversation before.

“Yes, what’s up?” Suddenly, Yan Yu had a bad feeling.

“Pick out a nice one for me too,” Lin Ning said with a bright smile, “As a captain, you wouldn’t be biased, only favoring Yun Jin, right?”

Yan Yu: …
