The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

The two ate and drank along the way, strolling around and buying things. What should have been a 20-minute walk to the clothing store took them more than an hour.

Welcome!

Perhaps because it's the weekend, the clothing store was packed with customers today, and there were twice as many sales staff as usual.

A sales clerk who was not with any customers came forward.

Xu Xi looked inside; there were so many guests, it was a sea of ​​people, and she couldn't see Li Na anywhere.

"Do you still have this outfit I'm wearing in the store?"

She pointed to her white shirt and pink skirt.

The sales clerk must have been new; she frowned and scrutinized Xu Xi's clothes for a long time before asking in confusion.

"Did you buy this outfit from our store?"

"Yes."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask our store manager."

After saying that, the saleswoman turned around and walked deeper into the clothing store.

A short while later, Li Na came out from inside.

Upon seeing Xu Xi, she was first taken aback, then her face lit up with joy.

"Oh, Xu Xi, it's you! Long time no see. What have you been up to these days?"

"I'm sorry, Sister Na, I was sick a few weeks ago and didn't have time to tell you."

Xu Xi said apologetically.

"Hey, it's no big deal."

Li Na waved her hand dismissively, not taking it to heart at all.

"We've received a lot of new styles in the past few weeks, but unfortunately we don't have much time today. As you can see, there are too many customers in the store, so I had to call a few of my friends to help out temporarily."

"Um... Sister Na, actually I brought my friend here to buy clothes today."

Xu Xi pointed to Wen Yao beside her, who smiled and waved.

"Oh, I see."

"Sister Na, could I borrow one of these outfits for my friend?"

Li Na's gaze lingered on Wen Yao for a moment, scrutinizing her figure repeatedly, before she shook her head.

"Little beauty, we still have Xu Xi's outfit in our store, but this one doesn't suit you."

"Huh? Why?"

Wen Yao asked, somewhat puzzled.

After thinking for a while, Li Na led the two to the back of the clothing store and took out a set of clothes that Xu Xi wore, which were the same style as the clothes in the corner pile.

"Well...you can try it on in the fitting room."

Wen Yao took the outfit into the fitting room.

A short while later, she changed her clothes and came out.

The white shirt clung tightly to her stomach, outlining the folds on her belly.

The buttons on his chest were stretched to their limit, threatening to burst open at any moment.

Especially her lower body, the short skirt couldn't hide her somewhat thick legs at all.

Xu Xi quietly turned her face away, unable to suppress a smile.

Wen Yao looked at herself in the mirror and blushed instantly.

If Xu Xi wore this outfit, she would look like a girl next door straight out of a comic book.

Wearing this outfit would be like a gorilla putting on human clothes and walking out of the zoo.

She hurried back to the fitting room and changed back into her original clothes.

"The JK skirt that Xu Xi is wearing only looks good on people who are extremely thin. Different body types have different styles of clothes that suit them."

Li Na picked out a black round-neck puff-sleeved top and high-waisted wide-leg pants from the shelf and handed them to Wen Yao.

"Try this outfit, it suits your figure better."

After changing into the outfit that Li Na had chosen for her, Wen Yao transformed into a cool and sophisticated woman.

"Handsome, quite good-looking!"

Li Na praised.

Xu Xi nodded slightly, her eyes showing a hint of appreciation.

"Seriously, this outfit looks amazing."

Wen Yao swayed back and forth in front of the mirror, becoming increasingly satisfied with the outfit.

"This is the outfit. How much is it?"

Li Na smiled as she looked at Xu Xi, her eyes slightly darting around.

"Since you're Xu Xi's friend, this set is free. Consider it a gift from Xu Xi."

"Huh? How could this be?"

Wen Yao looked at Xu Xi with some confusion and doubt.

Xu Xi looked completely bewildered. She turned her head, trying to get an answer from Li Na.

"Haha, didn't Xu Xi tell you? She's our store's best fitting model. We've sold thousands of clothes based on photos taken with her as the model. I could give away ten sets, let alone one."

Li Na blinked and looked at Xu Xi playfully.

"Huh? Xu Xi, why didn't you say so sooner? I didn't know you were this amazing."

Wen Yao shook Xu Xi, who was still in a daze, with a look of surprise on her face.

"Hehe, thanks Xibao! I'll take you to eat some other delicious food later, hehe~"

"This...this..."

Xu Xi was at a loss for what to do.

She had just planned to take advantage of Wen Yao's change of clothes to tell Li Na that she would no longer be a fitting model.

But Wen Yao changed clothes too quickly, and she never had a chance to organize her thoughts completely.

Now that things have come to this, it seems there's no way I can speak up again.

"It's okay, Xu Xi. Do you have any other friends? You can bring them over too. I'll put together a nice outfit for each of them. I'll make sure you don't lose face."

Li Na chuckled.

"Then, do you have time tomorrow? I'll go and call your sister Hu Yu over, and I'll take some more photos of you."

"The last time the photos turned out really well, so I can raise the price for you next time, to around 15 yuan per set."

The price has doubled!

Li Na's approach of appealing to emotions and reason completely stunned Xu Xi, who was preparing to say goodbye to Li Na.

She hesitated for a while, then sighed and nodded, promising to come to take photos on time tomorrow.

Li Na smiled as she saw the two off, then stuck out her tongue and made a smug expression as she watched Xu Xi's retreating figure.

She had already figured out that Xu Xi's purpose in coming here was to tell her that she would no longer be a fitting model.

While Wen Yao was changing clothes, Xu Xi hesitated, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything.

Therefore, Li Na came up with this "sugar-coated bullet" method.

Sending a set of clothes in Xu Xi's name may seem like it's a way for Xu Xi to save face in front of her friends, but in reality, it's Li Na who gains a favor from Xu Xi.

Firstly, Xu Xi simply couldn't refuse such a thing. If she did, Wen Yao would have to spend an extra hundred yuan to buy the outfit, which would be a liability.

Secondly, raising the price of photographs allows Xu Xi to earn more money; this is the sugar coating.

If Xu Xi is truly the kind of person who doesn't care about appearances and simply takes the clothes and leaves, then for Li Na, it's just a loss of a set of clothes.

Li Na secretly rejoiced, feeling extremely proud of her intelligence and wit.

After all, the value Xu Xi brought her went far beyond just a few outfits.

This is her cash cow, she can't just let it slip away so easily!
