A short while later, Su Bai changed his clothes.

A black outfit accentuated the boy's slender figure, the fabric gleaming with a slightly matte sheen under the light.

He neatly tied up the hair at the back of his head, and then separated a strand of hair on each side, letting it hang down his back like tassels.

(Kakaro: Float, look... the little blue bottle...)

(Snow leopard: Awooo, awooo)

"Sister Qilin, I'm all better now."

Hearing the sound, Qilin turned around.

The moment her gaze fell upon him, her breath caught involuntarily for a second.

Su Bai usually wears loose and comfortable home clothes, and has a clean and gentle temperament like a boy next door.

And at this moment—

Dressed in black with her hair tied up, her features were clearly defined.

It was still the same face, but it seemed as if a layer of hazy mist had been removed, revealing a kind of sharp outline that she had never seen before.

Especially those eyes.

It was still clear, but it seemed... to have gained a touch of indescribable gravitas.

Like a sleeping glacier, finally letting through the first rays of dawn.

"What's wrong?" Su Bai tilted his head in confusion when he saw that Qi Lin didn't speak.

This habitual little gesture instantly pulled him back to "that Su Bai".

Qi Lin snapped out of her reverie, suppressed the inexplicable flutter in her heart, and smiled:

"It's nothing. I just think... you look really cool dressed like that."

Su Bai's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"

"Really." Qi Lin nodded, walked over and straightened his collar. "Let's go, let's go out."

"Um!"

Qi Lin led Su Bai out of the house, and the black-clad boy's new look attracted frequent glances from passersby.

Especially when paired with the elegant and gentle Qi Lin beside him, the handsome man and beautiful woman always make people stop and stare.

The two arrived at the largest shopping mall in Juxia City.

Qi Lin, holding Su Bai's hand, began to wander through the men's clothing stores.

"How about this one?" She picked up a dark gray hooded sweatshirt and held it up against Su Bai.

Su Bai stood obediently, letting her do as she pleased: "If Sister Qilin thinks it's good, then it's good."

"Then try it on." Qi Lin handed him the clothes and pointed to the fitting room.

A few minutes later, Su Bai came out wearing that hoodie. The loose cut made him look even thinner, and the dark gray color contrasted with his fair skin. His eyes under the brim of the hat were so clean that they softened one's heart.

Qi Lin's eyes lit up: "Beautiful!"

She made Su Bai turn around, looked behind him, and then nodded decisively: "This one. Now go try on those pants."

For the next hour, Su Bai was like a human mannequin, being dragged by Qi Lin to try on seven or eight outfits. From casual T-shirts and jeans to slightly more formal shirts and trousers, there was even a tracksuit that Qi Lin picked out on a whim.

Su Bai cooperated throughout, but every time he changed out of an outfit, he would look longingly at Qi Lin.

And Qilin would always nod earnestly, saying, "It looks good."

She genuinely thought it looked good.

Perhaps it's because Su Bai is handsome and looks good in anything. Or perhaps it's because... seeing him wearing the clothes I chose gives me a strange sense of satisfaction.

It's like dressing up a huge doll.

"Sister Qilin," Su Bai finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice when they tried on the fifth set, "Do we... really need to buy so many?"

"Mm." Qi Lin nodded.

"You only have those two outfits, so naturally you should buy more."

"I see..." Su Bai nodded thoughtfully.

After buying clothes, Qilin took him to buy shoes.

She knelt down and tied his shoelaces herself.

Su Bai looked down at her back as she squatted in front of him, and suddenly felt a warm and soft feeling in a certain part of his heart.

"Sister Qilin," he called softly.

"Um?"

"It's so kind of you."

Qi Lin paused, then looked up at him and smiled.

"You're only finding out now?"

Su Bai also laughed, her eyes curving into crescent moons:

"Sister Qilin also wants to buy new clothes."

Qi Lin was taken aback, then the smile in her eyes deepened:

"it is good."

She took Su Bai's hand, and the two walked towards the third floor of the mall.

That's where the vibrant world truly belongs to women.

Upon reaching the third floor, Su Bai suddenly released Qi Lin's hand.

Then, under Qi Lin's somewhat puzzled gaze, he said...

"Sister Qilin, you helped me choose just now, now it's my turn to help you."

Seeing Su Bai's enthusiastic expression, Qi Lin couldn't help but laugh:

"Okay, then you help me choose."

"If you choose well and make your older sister happy, she can give you a little 'reward'~"

Upon hearing the "small reward," Su Bai immediately thought of the light kiss that landed on his forehead that morning, and his eyes lit up.

He began to wander among the clothes racks, his gaze almost devout. He examined each garment one by one, occasionally reaching out to touch the fabric or lifting the collar to scrutinize it closely. His focused expression reminded Qi Lin of a jeweler examining a rough gemstone.

She stood not far away, watching his busy figure, and a feeling of indescribable tenderness welled up in her heart.

A few minutes later, Su Bai returned to Qi Lin.

He carried the clothes he had chosen for Qilin, his face bearing the solemnity of someone who had accomplished an important task.

"Sister Qilin, you should try it!"

Qi Lin smiled and accepted it: "Okay."

She turned and walked towards the fitting room, only then having time to look down and examine the clothes Su Bai had chosen—

It was a black evening gown with an extremely daring cut, featuring elegant and sexy cutouts on the shoulders and back, while the skirt maintained a smooth, draping curve.

He also wore extremely short denim shorts and a pair of fine-textured black stockings under the dress.

The moment she saw it clearly, Qi Lin's cheeks flushed uncontrollably.

It can only be said that even with the loss of many memories and the injury to his soul, Su Bai's underlying code is still exerting its power.

Qi Lin stood in front of the full-length mirror in the fitting room, clutching the outfit in her hand, her heart pounding a little fast.

Do I really want to wear it?

This outfit... is just too...

Her gaze fell on the bold openwork designs, and her cheeks flushed even more.

But from outside the door came Su Bai's expectant voice:

"Sister Qilin, are you done changing?"

Qilin took a deep breath.

She changed into her evening gown somewhat awkwardly.

The cool, silky fabric clung to her skin, and the feeling of emptiness in her shoulders and back made her very uncomfortable.

She awkwardly tugged at her skirt, then slipped on hot pants and stockings.

Finally, she looked at the accessories that Su Bai had just handed over.

"...How did he even think of these things?" Qi Lin muttered softly, but still obediently put them on.

When all the accessories were in place, she looked up at the mirror again—

stunned.

The woman in the mirror was so unfamiliar that she could hardly recognize her.

The black gown accentuated her curves, which were usually concealed by loose clothing. The off-shoulder and backless design revealed skin she had never shown before, exuding an almost sharp sexiness.

Hot pants and black stockings make the legs appear long and straight, adding a touch of modern flamboyance.

Sexy and elegant, modern and classic, graceful and heroic...

These contradictory qualities achieved a wonderful balance in her.

It's as if she could be a female general fighting on the battlefield or a beautiful woman dancing at a banquet.
