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

As for the wedding dress shop, Ye Shu felt that the one from last time was actually quite good.

The shop that helped Xiaoxue choose her wedding dress was quite good in terms of quality and service. At least Xiaoxue and Sister Zhiqiu's dresses looked very presentable.

But this time Xia Qing had a specific store she wanted to visit.

She had already started secretly doing research, saving comparison pictures of more than ten stores on her phone, noting things like whether they had all the styles, how big the price difference was, whether there were any bad reviews about overcharging, and whether there were any stores with poor quality. She had done all the research very carefully.

Xia Qing was coming with a bear this time, so when Qin Lili asked where they were going, the address Xia Qing gave was one that Ye Shu had never even heard of.

But seeing how confident she was, fine, let her go wherever she wants.

After parking the car, the three people got out.

It's only about a hundred meters from where the car was parked to the store, but with all this heat, Ye Shu's T-shirt stuck to her clothes again.

Qin Lili hissed and jogged forward.

Xia Qing also grabbed Ye Shu's hand and ran forward:

"It's so hot, let's go inside quickly."

Pushing open the glass door of the bridal shop, the three of them felt as if tears were streaming down their faces.

But why?

It's an air conditioner; there's an air conditioner installed in the room.

"Welcome, everyone."

The shop assistant stood up from behind the counter and greeted us with a smile.

"Do you have a reservation?"

Xia Qing said:

"I haven't made a reservation, I'd like to see it in person."

"Okay, this way please."

The shop assistant led the three of them into the store.

This store is indeed big; Ye Shu followed behind and scanned the area.

Outside is a reception area with sofas, coffee tables, and counters. If you were passing by without looking at the sign, Ye Shu would think it was a coffee shop.

Once inside, there are four or five steps leading up to the interior, which is a split-level layout with the wedding dress area on the lower level.

Rows of racks were hung with all kinds of wedding dresses, and white lights were shining on them, making the dresses seem to glow.

This might be a marketing tactic, like how meat stalls in the market use pink lights to cover up imperfections.

There were still several groups of customers browsing in the store, and it seemed like a whole family was surrounding a girl and picking things out.

At least for now, this store seems to be doing better business than the store where I bought wedding dresses for Xiaoxue and Zhiqiu.

Xia Qing's outfit today was still cool, but not the kind with a black coat like before.

It's too hot to wear this. Today she wore a light gray T-shirt, which was quite loose and oversized, somewhat like the one Xiao Nuan wore yesterday. It also showed her shoulders.

However, Xia Qing tied a knot at the hem of her shirt and pulled it up at her waist, turning a perfectly good T-shirt into a crop top just like Qin Lili's.

Below, she wore shorts, revealing her long legs. Sunglasses were on her head, and her hair was loose.

This made Ye Shu feel very uncomfortable.

It's not that it's bad; it's very good. Ye Shu also loves watching it.

But as someone who always covers his belly button even when it's hot, Ye Shu felt incredibly awkward looking at Xia Qing's fair and slender waist.

That's your belly button! How can you leave that area exposed like that?!

In the car just now, Ye Shu couldn't help but want to reach out and untie her T-shirt several times, to at least lower it a bit and cover her belly button.

But as soon as he reached out, Xia Qing slapped his hand away.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and have a stomachache."

As Ye Shu was speaking, she reached out her hand again, but Xia Qing slapped her hand away once more.

"Don't move, this is called styling, understand?"

Xia Qing glared at him, then tugged the button tighter.

Ye Shu still wanted to try, but it wasn't the first time he had known Xia Qing. Xia Qing was clearly deliberately going against him now, and the more he talked to her, the more she did the opposite.

Never mind, he gave up.

But as soon as he entered the air-conditioned room of the wedding dress shop, the cold air made him feel a bit cold, and Ye Shu started to worry again.

His eyes were fixed on Xia Qing's belly. He regretted not bringing a coat; he had only worn a short-sleeved shirt when he came out.

But Xia Qing will need to change clothes when she tries on her wedding dress later, right? We'll talk about it then.

Xia Qing had already followed the shop assistant toward the shelves, with Qin Lili following beside her, but her attention was entirely on her phone, only occasionally glancing at the wedding dresses on the shelves, showing little interest.

She probably felt that since she wasn't the one wearing the clothes, she was just a family member accompanying her on the shopping trip.

Ye Shu wasn't in a hurry to look at the wedding dress; he was looking at Xia Qing, and seeing which direction she was going to walk.

Since Xia Qing came directly to this store, she must have compared many options beforehand. This store has a relatively large selection of styles and fewer negative reviews.

Although the price-performance ratio was a bit low, that wasn't a factor in her decision. What she wanted was the wedding dress; she didn't care about the money.

Ye Shu watched as Xia Qing walked to the shelf, scanned the items, and then headed straight for the slimming and simple style section.

Ah, just as Ye Shu had imagined in the car.

Ye Shu also glanced at the wedding dresses hanging there. They were mostly high necklines, high slits, and open backs, all looking very sophisticated.

However, it looks like the evening gowns worn by upper-class women in movies, so it doesn't really resemble a wedding dress.

Ye Shu stood on the steps, watching Xia Qing standing in front of those dresses, looking up at them intently. He also imagined what Xia Qing would look like wearing those dresses.

A deep neckline, a high slit, revealing the back; the hair should ideally be styled, perhaps with slight curls; the makeup doesn't need to be too heavy; stand in front of yourself with your hands on your hips, a cool expression, preferably looking down at yourself, and then adding a slightly disgusted look...

"Um……"

Ye Shu couldn't help but let out a soft, satisfied "hmm."

"Huh?"

Qin Lili returned at some point and stood next to Ye Shu, holding her phone and asking a question.

"No! I don't have that kind of fetish!"

Ye Shu blurted out this sentence, leaving Qin Lili completely bewildered. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Shu:

"What kind of quirks?"

"Nothing... I was just acting crazy..."

At this moment, Xia Qing said to Ye Shu:

"Ye Shu, come here."

Ye Shu felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly said to Qin Lili:

"Um, Sister Xia Qing called me, I'll go check it out first."

After saying that, he jogged towards Xia Qing, thinking as he ran:

No, I, Ye Shu, really don't have that kind of fetish! I just got carried away with my words, I simply thought Xia Qing was suitable for that kind of thing, it's really not that I have any strange fetishes! You all have to believe me!!!

Huh? Who am I talking to?

Qin Lili stood behind Ye Shu, watching him shrug as if he had been chased by wolves. Although she didn't know what his quirks were, she was certain that the kid hadn't been thinking anything good.
