At this moment, Liu Yun’s mind was perfectly clear, but she could only watch as her body repeated this little rascal’s words all over again…
“Yes, I don’t like going out, so I will refuse your invitation, Master. The way I refuse is by agreeing to you…”
Only after giving all the hypnotic commands did Lin Xiu nod in satisfaction.
Come to think of it, if he really wanted to, he could have just hypnotized the woman in front of him and made her admit that she was hopelessly in love with him.
But if he did that, there would be no meaning to it at all. Lin Xiu wanted to prove with his own charm that he could win her over.
Hmm, if Liu Yun knew what the young man was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes and call him a narcissist…
As the boy snapped his fingers, Liu Yun regained control of her body.
Thinking about what the boy had just done, she almost slapped him right across the face. Luckily, she managed to hold back at the last moment.
Liu Yun couldn’t help but mock herself at that thought. She felt like she was turning into a Ninja Turtle…
But she didn’t dare to take any chances. Right now, she could resist the young man’s hypnotic suggestions, but who knew what he would do to her if he found out?
“Jie, don’t be so quick to say no! It’s rare to have a day off—wouldn’t it be nice to go out and relax a little?”
At this moment, Lin Xiu spoke again.
Liu Yun clenched her fists, and only after a long while did she manage to suppress her urge to resist. Then, imitating the look that the young man was hoping for, she said,
“I don’t want to go shopping with you at all, so if you insist on pestering me, I’ll agree. That way you can give up, right?”
Obviously, these words contradicted each other, but in order to make Lin Xiu think she’d been hypnotized, Liu Yun had no choice but to say them.
When Lin Xiu heard her response, he raised his eyebrows, but didn’t say anything more. He simply nodded.
“Alright, in that case, Jie, hurry up and go get changed. You can’t go out dressed like this, can you?”
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment. She looked down and realized—rather belatedly—that she was still in her pajamas, and her clothes were a mess…
Seeing this, her pretty face instantly flushed red. She hurriedly covered her chest and scolded in embarrassment.
“Wh-what are you looking at?”
Liu Yun normally wouldn’t make such a girlish gesture. After all, from a man’s perspective, what’s the harm in taking a look?
But at this moment, she’d done it almost instinctively, unable to stop herself from feeling embarrassed…
Lin Xiu simply rubbed his nose at her glare and calmly looked away. After all, he’d already seen everything—whether he should’ve or not.
A few seconds of silence passed before Liu Yun managed to compose herself a little. In a low voice, she said,
“I’ll go get changed.”
As she spoke, she tried to close the door again, but Lin Xiu caught her delicate hand, causing Liu Yun to stumble and almost fall into his arms.
“Wait, Jie, you’re not planning to dress as a man and disguise yourself, are you?”
Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes, asking with a hint of a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Yun’s face froze, and a guilty look flickered across her pretty face.
Honestly, that was exactly what she had in mind…
Seeing her reaction, Lin Xiu couldn’t help but get a few dark lines on his forehead. He knew she was a woman, but no one else did.
If she really went out dressed as a man and he wanted to hold her hand or kiss her, how weird would that look to others? They’d definitely think he was into men, wouldn’t they?
No, there was no doubt—they would absolutely think that!
At that thought, Lin Xiu stubbornly declared,
“No way. Jie, you have to wear a dress. And you have to dress up beautifully.”
Liu Yun was stunned, clearly caught off guard.
“Wh-why?”
Wasn’t this guy being way too much? She was already wasting her precious rest time to go out with him, and now he was even forcing her to wear a dress!
Besides, Liu Yun had never worn a dress in public before. The only time she ever had was…
As she thought of this, her beautiful eyes widened. Could it be this guy was thinking…
In an instant, Liu Yun’s face was covered with two rosy blushes. She quickly waved her hands in a panic.
“No, no, no, I absolutely won’t go out in that maid outfit…”
She’d rather die than go out wearing a maid outfit!
Hearing her words, Lin Xiu couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. Then, rubbing the silly older woman’s head, he said,
“Jie, what are you thinking? I never said you had to wear the maid outfit out—just a normal dress is fine.”
After all, the way she looked in a maid outfit was far too enticing. He really didn’t want any other men—or even women—to see that…
Liu Yun heard the boy’s words, but her pretty face was still tangled with distress. Even if it wasn’t a maid outfit, she still felt utterly opposed to the idea of wearing a dress.
So she rolled her eyes and searched for an excuse.
“Well, I actually don’t own any dresses, so I’ll just wear men’s clothes. A long shirt and pants are basically the same…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the boy cut her off.
“Jie, that’s fine—you might not have any, but I do at my place.”
Before Liu Yun could react, Lin Xiu pulled her into his house next door. By now, she was quite familiar with the place…
It was only now that Liu Yun realized and asked in confusion,
“You’re a man, so why do you have women’s clothes?”
He really was a shameless pervert—could he have a fetish for cross-dressing?
At this thought, the way Liu Yun looked at the young man changed. But the next moment, her head was mercilessly flicked by him.
“Ow… that hurts～”
Liu Yun held her head in pain, her eyes watering.
Inside the simple bedroom, Lin Xiu pulled out a variety of brand-new women’s clothes from the closet, tags still attached.
There were pencil skirts, camisole dresses, and all sorts of uniforms—sailor outfits, JK skirts, and so on…
There were both proper and improper ones. Liu Yun’s eyes spun with confusion as she stared in shock.
Only then did the boy leisurely explain,
“All these clothes are for you, Jie. I bought them so you’d have something to change into when you come over to cook. So, are you touched?”
Liu Yun froze, her pretty face instantly turning red. She looked away from those improper outfits, biting out her words through gritted teeth.
“I—really—thank—you—a lot…”
She’d only cooked a few dinners for him, and she’d thought there was just the maid outfit. But it turned out he’d bought a whole pile of embarrassing things just to shame her.
No wonder he’d vaguely mentioned paying off a bill the other day—the money had all gone to this!
Now that she thought about it, the maid outfit from before seemed pretty refined and elegant. No, no, they were all equally shameful!
She absolutely didn’t want to wear these things! Not even if it was just for him to see…
At this moment, the boy had already picked out a black waist-cinched short dress and a pair of shiny black silk stockings, nodding in satisfaction.
The hem of this dress only reached her thighs, but it was flattering on her figure. Out of all the clothes here, this was probably the most proper one…
“Jie, how about this one? Or would you rather pick for yourself?”
