Chapter 235: Chapter 237 Trying on Clothes

Li Yifei finished eating the frozen treat with Michelle, and then the pair arrived at a nearby large shopping mall. After walking a few steps, Michelle whispered to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, I... Can I make a request?"

"A request? What is it, let’s hear it?" Li Yifei looked at Michelle with a teasing smile.

Michelle’s face blushed as she spoke softly, "Can I... hold Brother Li’s arm?"

Li Yifei didn’t immediately agree, which embarrassed Michelle immensely. She bowed her head, her face so red it looked like blood would drip from it, and stammered, "I... I don’t mean anything by it, I just wanted..."

"Hehe, how can I refuse such a delightful request? Just don’t say I’m taking advantage of you," Li Yifei offered his arm and took hold of Michelle’s hand.

Michelle’s body stiffened, and she suddenly looked up at Li Yifei with a surprised joy. Seeing his radiant smile, she tightened her grip on his hand.

Li Yifei’s heart shook, and he immediately regretted consenting to Michelle’s request. Her asking to hold his arm clearly had a hint of affection, and by agreeing, he was giving her hope. But at such a moment, Li Yifei found it impossible to refuse Michelle—it felt way too cruel.

The two, hand in hand, walked from the first floor to the third. Michelle didn’t speak the entire way, nor did she look at anything. Seeing Michelle’s dizzyingly sweet and happy demeanor, Li Yifei found it both amusing and guilt-inducing. To break the romantic atmosphere, he laughed and said, "We’ve reached the women’s clothing section, aren’t you going to take a look?"

"Ah!" Michelle gasped, her face turning bright red with embarrassment. She hastily let go of Li Yifei’s arm and said, "Then I’ll take a look."

Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "Then have a look."

Michelle browsed a store briefly, then left with Li Yifei, suggesting, "Let’s check out the next one." But after a couple of steps, her hand shyly reached out and grasped Li Yifei’s arm again.

At this point, Li Yifei simply pretended not to notice. To react with resistance now could greatly hurt Michelle, who was such a sensitive girl. Since he had agreed to accompany her for a day of fun, he decided to enjoy it to the fullest. He even turned and smiled at Michelle.

Encouraged by this, Michelle boldly slid her hand through the crook of Li Yifei’s arm, linking arms with him.

"I think the clothes in that shop look nice; they should suit your style. Let’s go take a look," Li Yifei pointed to a dress shop.

Michelle was thrilled. Not only was Li Yifei accompanying her on a shopping spree, but he was also giving her suggestions—such a rare treat.

Entering the shop, Michelle was instantly attracted by the array of dresses and gowns, her favorite garments to wear.

Li Yifei fully embraced his role, helping Michelle choose dresses. And it turned out he had quite an eye; the styles he picked were very much to Michelle’s liking.

After telling the clerk her preferred size, the clerk brought several dresses for Michelle to try. However, the store was crowded, and Michelle had to go to the fitting room alone.

The fitting room was almost full, leaving only one cubicle at the back. Michelle had no choice but to go inside to change.

The fitting room had no door, just a long curtain that completely shielded the interior. Such a setup wouldn’t allow any peeping Toms to sneak a look, so women boldly changed and tried on clothes inside.

Michelle had barely entered when she stepped back out, waved to Li Yifei, scanned the surroundings, and saw that the clerks were all busy and not paying her any attention. She turned her gaze to Li Yifei, her face flushing before she waved him over.

When Li Yifei saw Michelle calling him over, he approached and asked, "What’s the matter?"

With a blush on her face, Michelle said, "Brother Li, there’s nowhere inside to hang clothes or any chairs, so... I need you to hold these for me."

"No problem," Li Yifei promptly agreed, taking the clothes Michelle was holding.

Michelle then took one set from Li Yifei’s hands and walked back behind the curtain. Soon, the rustling sound of clothes being removed could be heard.

The noise caused Li Yifei to imagine Michelle undressing, and a flood of inappropriate thoughts surged through his mind: speculating about Michelle’s bust size, skin fairness, and so on.

Shaking his head, Li Yifei banished these thoughts. Although Michelle had feelings for him, he only saw her as a good friend. To entertain such ideas felt like a violation of Michelle’s dignity.

In a short while, Michelle emerged, now wearing a light green gown. Her long hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, and her delicate, tender face complemented the light green of her dress perfectly. The clothing matched her, and she enhanced the beauty of the dress, making her appear even more gorgeous than usual.

"Brother Li, does it look good?" From Yifei’s appreciative gaze, Michelle already knew how well the dress suited her, but she couldn’t help asking.

"It looks good, you should wear skirts like this more often." Li Yifei immediately and openly praised her.

"At work, I always have to be mindful of my image. Wearing a skirt like this makes me look younger, and that..."

"Hehe, that’s true, you are a manager after all, you need to maintain some authority. However, after work, there’s nothing better than wearing a skirt like this when you’re off."

Michelle smiled sweetly and said, "Alright, I’ll wear a skirt when I go out with Brother Li in the future."

"Go have a look in the mirror by yourself," Li Yifei said with a chuckle, following Michelle to the mirror in the store.

After glancing at herself in the mirror and seeing the clothes she had just taken off still in her arms, Michelle felt she couldn’t see the full effect. She turned to look at Li Yifei and said with a hint of shyness, "Brother Li, could you hold these for me?"

"It’s nothing." Li Yifei took the clothes Michelle was holding, a slightly loose T-shirt and a long skirt, which still carried a faint fragrance, easily leading one’s thoughts astray.

Girls don’t usually let someone hold their clothes unless that person is very close to them, especially summer clothing that clings to the body. Michelle, who was always cautious about these matters, wouldn’t have allowed it if it weren’t for Li Yifei.

Giving her clothes to Li Yifei, Michelle looked in the mirror again, yet her gaze involuntarily kept darting back to him. She noticed that Li Yifei’s nose seemed to twitch as if he was smelling her clothes, which made Michelle extremely embarrassed but at the same time filled her with sweetness. This meant that Li Yifei wasn’t entirely indifferent to her.

"Brother Li, I’ll try on something else," said Michelle cheerfully, now even more spirited. She grabbed Li Yifei and headed back to the changing room area, choosing the furthest one despite other changing rooms being available.

After changing into another outfit, Michelle handed the light green dress she had just worn to Li Yifei and then spun around in front of him, saying, "Brother Li, how about this one?"

This was a two-piece dress, with the top resembling a small vest and the bottom a long white skirt that reached the floor. As Michelle twirled, the hem of her dress billowed, transforming her into a fairy in a white gown.

Li Yifei immediately complimented her, "This one looks good too, Michelle. You really suit dresses; seeing you in a dress makes it impossible to look at any other woman in one."

Michelle was even more delighted and laughed, "Brother Li, you’re flattering me. Be careful, if your girlfriend hears this, she’ll be the one to take care of you."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "She won’t get mad. But now that you mention it, I really would like to see her in a dress."

Su Yiyi had a similar temperament to Michelle, both being rather delicate and refined girls. Su Yiyi was slightly taller than Michelle, with long straight legs, and a slender waist, so she would undoubtedly look good in a dress too.

Michelle quickly tried on another piece, but soon after entering the changing room, she let out a low cry of pain. Li Yifei, who was outside, heard it clearly, unsure of the cause, immediately asked, "What happened?"

"No... it’s nothing," Michelle answered, but she remained inside for a long time without coming out.

"What happened? Why are you not coming out after so long?" Li Yifei asked again.

"Brother Li, could you... could you come in and help me?" replied Michelle from inside.

"Go in?" Li Yifei paused for a moment, then quickly lifted the curtain and entered, not believing for a second that a girl like Michelle would try to seduce him; she must be in some trouble.

His guess was spot on; Michelle’s hair had gotten caught in the zipper at the back of the dress. Because it was at her back, she could neither zip it up nor down. As soon as Li Yifei entered, he said in an embarrassed whisper, "Brother Li, I..."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Stop moving, or it’ll get worse. I’ll help you untangle it." Saying this, he stuffed the clothes he had been carrying into Michelle’s arms and moved behind her.

The zipper was stuck at slightly more than halfway up, slightly open at the top, exposing Michelle’s snow-white neck and a small section of her back. For a girl in summer, everyday wear might reveal even more skin than this.

But this is the thing about men: when a woman reveals a lot of skin, they concentrate on the parts that are covered; when a woman reveals less, their focus shifts to the exposed areas. The sensory stimulation for the men is roughly the same either way.

It’s like when women wear dresses every day, you notice their calves and arms, but when they wear swimsuits, I believe ninety percent of men are looking at the three points of the swimsuit. If you don’t believe it, go ahead and verify it yourself.
