The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

Should we rent or buy our wedding dress?

Is there even a question? You absolutely have to buy it!

In Ye Shu's view, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, although for him it might not be his first time.

But rented items always feel secondhand, and you have to return them after wearing them, so you always feel a little reluctant to part with them.

I bought it as a keepsake. When I have kids, I can show it off and let them see how amazing their mom was back then, and how their dad was blown away by her beauty.

This money cannot be saved.

Ye Shu stared at the wedding dress that Zhi Qiu had just picked out. The dress was on the mannequin, and the bodice was perfectly fitted, cinching the waistline. The skirt flared out into a puffy princess skirt, with layers of lace and pearls on top. It looked really beautiful under the lights.

Ye Shu nodded:

"Hmm, Xiaoxue should like this one."

After saying that, he felt a little awkward. Although he was reluctant, he still said to Zhi Qiu:

"Then...why don't you give it a try?"

Zhi Qiu nodded, and the shop assistant found her the same style and led her to the fitting room.

Since Ye Shu didn't want to follow her in, she took advantage of Zhi Qiu changing clothes to study the different wedding dress styles.

The shop assistant could naturally tell what kind of relationship the two had, and she was very skilled at her job, so she started to explain it to Ye Shu.

I had no idea there were so many different kinds of wedding dresses!

They say things like A-line styles make your waist look slimmer, mermaid styles flatter your figure, straight-leg styles are slimming, and puffy styles are sophisticated.

Furthermore, there are several different necklines, such as strapless, off-the-shoulder, square neck, V-neck, and so on...

Ye Shu listened attentively, her eyes carefully observing every detail of the wedding dresses.

In his mind, those mannequins had now become real people, they had become them. His inner demons were activated, automatically imagining what these styles would look like on them.

This wedding dress was indeed difficult to put on, as evidenced by how long Zhi Qiu spent in the fitting room.

Seeing that it was taking a while, Ye Shu was a little worried, so she walked to the door and gently knocked:

"How are you? Do you need any help?"

"Need not."

Zhi Qiu said softly through the door:

"That's good."

A little while later, after Zhi Qiu changed into her wedding dress, Ye Shu and Chen San San were already sitting on the bench opposite her, as if they were preparing to hold some kind of press conference.

Chen San San was holding her phone, ready to take a picture, but the shop assistant noticed and told her that taking pictures was not allowed there.

The fitting room door was slowly pushed open, and Ye Shu felt a burst of white light in front of her eyes, which was a bit dazzling.

It turns out that what you see in anime is real; when you see a stunning scene, a white light really does appear, so bright that you can't open your eyes.

Ye Shu squinted, and after her eyes adjusted, she saw Zhi Qiu with her head slightly lowered, her cheeks flushed, gently lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands as she slowly walked out.

That expression, that demeanor—she's like a princess from a storybook! This is what a princess is like!

She only wore light makeup today, but it was enough; she still looked breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Shu looked at her, and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears.

He had seen them cry, he had seen them laugh, he had seen her snuggle in his arms and sleep, but he had never seen them like this before...

Wearing a wedding dress, she walked towards me step by step.

This is my wife.

When that sentence suddenly popped into his head, Ye Shu almost lost his composure.

Back when he was still a young man, he always thought that all the beautiful girls in the world belonged to other people and were out of his reach as an ordinary person.

But now, this beautiful girl, dressed in a wedding gown, stands before him, his legal wife, the one who is willing to spend her life with him. It makes his nose run more and his blinking faster, because if he hesitates even a little, tears will fall, and that would be so embarrassing.

"How is it?"

Zhi Qiu twirled gently in front of the two of them, her skirt swirling like a white lotus flower.

"Perfect score!!!"

Ye Shu gave it a perfect score without hesitation, her voice even choked up when she said it.

Zhi Qiu smiled slightly; she knew her little brother Xiao Shu would react this way. Then she looked at Chen San San.

Chen San San truly lives up to her reputation as a professional judge; she's incredibly strict.

She wasn't swayed by Ye Shu's perfect score, nor did she have the "love wife filter" that Ye Shu had for her.

She rested her chin on her hand, squinted, and scanned Zhi Qiu from head to toe before frowning slightly and saying:

"Sister Xiaoxue, isn't this skirt a bit too puffy? It makes you look shorter and your legs look shorter. That's not good."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Qiu's smile deepened.

See, this is the advantage of bringing a girl along.

Ye Shu couldn't give any answers that were of any value, just like the answer key at the back of a winter break homework assignment—it was all just 'skipped'.

We still have to rely on Chen San San's perfectionist eyes.

This is the first item, so it's normal that it's not suitable. No one is perfect from the start.

The sales assistant brought over another wedding dress, similar in style but with minor adjustments to some details:

"Shall we try another one?"

They went through five or six different outfits, with Zhi Qiu trying them all out and Ye Shu getting perfect scores on each one.

Every time Zhi Qiu came out of the door, he would be so excited that tears would well up in his eyes, as if he had seen a goddess descend to earth.

Chen San San, on the other hand, played the bad cop, complaining that the neckline was too low and not suitable, and that there were too many sequins and they wouldn't look good in photos. She was very serious about choosing.

Finally, she changed into another outfit. When Zhi Qiu walked out in her wedding dress this time, Ye Shu still gave her his worthless perfect score with eyes full of reverence.

This time, Chen San San's eyes lit up as well:

"This is great! Perfect! The waistline is raised a bit, and the skirt is tapered, so it doesn't make you look shorter while still maintaining a princess-like feel. It will definitely look amazing in photos!"

Zhi Qiu looked down at her wedding dress, smiled faintly, a smile tinged with bitterness.

But she composed herself, looked up to meet Ye Shu's gaze, and smiled gently.

"How about this one?"

"Okay! This one!"

Ye Shu didn't hesitate at all. In fact, he thought all the previous outfits were good, and they would make Sister Zhi Qiu look like a goddess descended to earth.

The shop assistant beamed with joy when she finally made a decision; she had finally closed the deal.

After Zhi Qiu changed back into her own clothes and came out, Ye Shu was at the counter leaving her address.

Because there are still some details that need to be altered, we'll send the dress back to you once the shop has finished making the changes.

When Ye Shu heard the price was 39999, he couldn't help but shudder.

Is it expensive?

That's really expensive, 40,000 yuan.

But when I think about how Sister Zhi Qiu looked wearing it just now, does it still seem expensive?

It's not expensive at all!

You can see a fairy for 40,000 yuan? What makes it so expensive?

After Ye Shu paid the deposit, Zhi Qiu picked up her bag and prepared to leave with Chen San San.

But Ye Shu didn't move, standing in the store with her eyes still fixed on the row of mannequins wearing wedding dresses.

"Come on, little Shu, what are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing that he hadn't followed, Zhi Qiu turned around and asked.

Ye Shu pointed to a wedding dress worn by her family member. Unlike the princess-style dress from before, this one was simpler, a straight-cut style that the sales assistant had just introduced.

There aren't any extra frills or anything like that, but there's a band of silver embroidery around the cuffs and collar, which looks very high-end.

"Since you're already here, let's solve this together. I think this set suits you very well."

Zhi Qiu looked at the wedding dress Ye Shu pointed to, and her heart warmed; she understood.

Those dresses she just tried on were Xiaoxue's wedding dresses; she picked them out for Xiaoxue.

The one Ye Shu is pointing to now is for Zhi Qiu, but it's one she chose for herself.

A smile appeared on Zhi Qiu's face, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Ye Shu. She nodded gently.

"OK."
