A Young Woman's Heart

It's like having a fever.

"Oh, I mean, please pretend to be my girlfriend at my class reunion, please! I've already boasted that I have a beautiful girlfriend! If I don't bring her with me, everyone will laugh at me!"

Huang Yuxi seemed a little regretful, yet also relieved, and let out a long sigh of relief. She wrote on the whiteboard: "Why did brother lie?"

"Well, well... this..."

"The adults' face?"

"Ha, haha... Well, that's about it..." Huang Zhengyang scratched his cheek awkwardly. Luckily, he was asking his younger brother. If it were his sister, she would definitely misunderstand. "So, please wear women's clothes and pretend to be a woman...? Uh, it'll be tomorrow night. We still have time to go shopping for clothes during the day."

"I understand." Huang Yuxi held up the whiteboard to cover her face, seemingly a little shy.

"Thank you so much, Xiaoxi!" Huang Zhengyang happily picked up his younger brother. "I'm counting on you for tomorrow!"

His junior high school classmates were people he had known for a long time and didn't know he had a younger brother, so it was perfectly fine for Xiaoxi to play the role. People might think it was similar, or at most say that they looked a bit like a married couple.

Besides, Huang Zhengyang, who drives trucks all year round, has a tanned complexion and his facial features are still quite angular, bearing no resemblance to Huang Yuxi, who has never undergone male development.

Then came this morning.

Huang Zhengyang, who was brushing his teeth in front of the mirror, came back to his senses, feeling both nervous and expectant.

He was worried that his younger brother would give himself away, but he also wanted to see what he would look like in women's clothing.

It's inevitable to spend money, since it's a class reunion and you'll definitely need to buy something nice, and women's clothing seems to be generally more expensive than men's clothing.

After Huang Zhengyang finished washing up, he found Huang Yuxi on the bed making difficult sobbing sounds.

It's like you know you should get up, but you just can't open your eyes. Even if you try really hard to move your body, you just end up rolling around in bed.

"Haha, Xiaoxi, what's wrong? Can't you get up?"

"Mmm..." Huang Yuxi responded softly, barely managing to open her eyes a crack before closing them again as if glued shut.

"Get up quickly, we still need to go to the mall to pick out clothes later."

"Um……"

Huang Yuxi finally managed to sit up, panting heavily as if she had just finished a kilometer-long race.

This is the most uncomfortable time, and you may even feel difficulty breathing.

Huang Zhengyang handed over a glass of warm water, brought it to his younger brother's lips, and slowly poured it down.

A few drops of clear liquid spilled from the corner of his mouth, wetting his pajamas and bedding.

Huang Yuxi felt much better after taking a sip of water. He cleared his throat, touched his messy hair, and stood up.

"Go wash up quickly, let's go out for breakfast, then go to the clothing mall to buy clothes, uh... should we go to something more expensive, like Yintai, or something cheaper... or how about Qianjiang Market? The clothes there are cheaper..."

Huang Yuxi didn't answer, but the look in her eyes conveyed her meaning—that she would leave the decision to her brother.

"Uh... let me think... oh right, how about we go to that shopping mall again!" Huang Zhengyang thought of a commercial center where there were supermarkets and clothing stores. The prices were cheaper than places like Yintai, and the quality was a bit higher than Qianjiang Small Commodities Market.

"Hmm..." Huang Yuxi nodded unsteadily, not caring where her brother wanted to go, and walked into the bathroom.

Then came the sounds of washing up.

He spent much longer washing up than Huang Zhengyang, and all the facial cleansers and face washes in the cabinet were his personal items.

Huang Zhengyang only uses it when he is preparing for a formal occasion.

While his younger brother was washing up, Huang Zhengyang took out the clothes he wore the least and most valuable from the closet.

Although it wasn't a suit, it was still a very formal outfit, at least much more formal than his usual casual wear. Wearing this outfit, he looked somewhat like a business assistant—but his skin tone still made him look like a driver, or at most, a butler who was always on the go.

"Cough cough cough." Huang Zhengyang coughed a few times in front of himself in the mirror, checking if there was any unshaven stubble on his lips.

By the time he was fully prepared, Huang Yuxi had also finished washing up.

Since he would have to change into the women's clothes he bought later, he wore a relatively convenient set of casual clothes.

"Okay, let's go!" Huang Zhengyang pushed open the door and walked out, putting the key ring on his finger and turning it continuously. "If only this were a car key."

However, driving a small truck may seem a bit old-fashioned, but it's better than having nothing to drive at all.

At the very least, driving yourself is definitely much more convenient than taking the bus.

Chapter 76 Pretending to be her brother's girlfriend (Part 2)

Inside the shopping mall, different clothing stores displayed all kinds of clothes. The dazzling array of women's clothing made Huang Zhengyang dizzy, and for a moment he didn't even know which direction to choose from.

"What kind of things is your brother planning to buy?" Huang Yuxi gently tugged at her brother's clothes, tilted her head, and held up the whiteboard in her hand.

"Even if you ask me what kind of clothes I want to buy, I can't really say... It feels like there are just too many kinds, doesn't it?" Huang Zhengyang has absolutely no sense of style. The only relatively formal outfit he's wearing was picked out for him by his younger brother.

He usually wears the same few casual clothes, just in different colors.

For example, in the summer, he would wear short-sleeved shirts with casual shorts, alternating between these outfits.

He even bought three identical sets of clothes and would wear them interchangeably, to the point that for a while people at work thought he never showered or changed his clothes.

"What style does your brother like?" Huang Yuxi erased the words on the whiteboard and wrote a new sentence on it.

Although communicating in writing is a bit slow, he has gradually gotten used to it, and even feels particularly at ease when communicating in writing.

"As for style... uh... Xiaoxi, you're too short, so a mature look probably doesn't suit you, right? How about... something cute?"

"Hmm." Huang Yuxi roughly understood her brother's request, put the whiteboard back in her pocket, grabbed his wrist, and walked forward.

A young man with wheat-colored skin was being dragged along by a handsome boy. This unusual pair attracted the attention of many people.

Huang Zhengyang is actually only about 1.73 meters tall, but standing next to his younger brother, and given his muscular physique from frequently carrying goods, he suddenly appears much taller.

Actually, summer clothes are relatively easy to choose. After all, the weather is so hot that people usually only wear one piece of clothing – for girls, it's just a tank top underneath.

Only in very rare cases would I wear an extra jacket in such hot weather, and even then, it would be very thin, serving more of a decorative purpose than a practical one.

"Want to try out a children's clothing store?" the older brother joked.

Huang Yuxi turned her head and glared at him, as if he particularly disliked being treated like a child.

After skipping the children's clothing store, we lingered for a while in a few stores selling cute clothes.

The older brother thought everything was fine, but Huang Yuxi was still not very satisfied.

Either it's too expensive, or the workmanship is poor or there are some minor flaws.

"Hey Xiaoxi, don't you feel a little embarrassed?" the older brother asked in a low voice as they walked out of another store.

"fine."

"Ugh, it feels like everyone's looking at us strangely..."

"It's just my brother's imagination," Huang Yuxi paused and wrote.

"Doesn't Xiaoxi feel awkward? I made you wear girls' clothes, cough... I'm so sorry..."

"It's alright," Huang Yuxi chuckled shyly. "As long as you're happy, brother."

"Ahem, actually, there are quite a few others that I think are acceptable."

"Let's see."

Finally, the two arrived at the fourth floor, the top floor of the clothing mall. It was very deserted, and the clothes for sale were mostly clothes that would not usually be bought.

It's not that the quality is bad, it's just that the price is either too expensive or the style is not suitable for everyday wear.

However, there are also a few shops that sell everyday styles from other countries. If you want to add a touch of exotic flair, you can definitely go in and give it a try.

Huang Yuxi grabbed her brother's wrist and walked into a Japanese-style store.

Clearly, there aren't many customers usually. The young female owner, who was sitting at the cashier reading a magazine, immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Would you like to buy something?"

Her gaze naturally fell on Huang Yuxi, after all, this was a women's clothing store, and Huang Zhengyang didn't look like someone who knew how to dress.

But even if he says he wants to buy it, that's fine; he can just say it's for his girlfriend.

"Ah, yes, it's my brother... my sister wants to wear it."

"Mmm, so cute." The woman in her twenties couldn't help but squat down and pinch his cheek. "How old are you this year?"

"Ah, he... will be a junior in the fall semester."

"Huh? Really?" The shop owner looked shocked. "He looks like a middle school student!"

"Well, he looks young."

"She seems to like androgynous styles?"

"Uh...yes, but this time I want to buy some cute clothes." Huang Zhengyang scratched his cheek awkwardly and couldn't help but look outside the store.

This store sells all kinds of clothes. One wall is covered with young girls' bras and various styles of panties. How could he, a grown man, possibly look at them for too long?

Huang Yuxi quietly looked around, choosing clothes that she thought were suitable.

"Your sister is petite, so she's definitely more suited to cute styles. Let me see, how about this one? It's a simple yet adorable style." The shopkeeper said, picking up a clothes fork and taking down a black dress.

The skirt had a large collar and black and white stripes, a pattern that Huang Zhengyang felt he had seen somewhere before.

"This is a sailor-style dress, which is perfect for petite girls with a flat chest," the shopkeeper enthusiastically explained. "The neckline is originally V-shaped, but that would make it look too flat, so we sewed on a piece of fabric here to create a fake V-shape effect."

The rest of the dress is black, except for the lower half, where a white, cake-like skirt peeks out from the lining.

Simple yet sophisticated, and also quite cute, this is Huang Zhengyang's favorite.

Huang Yuxi's eyes lit up, clearly she had also taken a liking to this one.

The dress also had a white bow at the chest, which perfectly covered the only part of Huang Yuxi's body that gave her a boyish look.

Well, as for the other part, it's generally not visible, so let's leave it aside for now.

"Want to give it a try?" Huang Zhengyang looked at Huang Yuxi, scratching his head as he asked, "I think it looks pretty good."

"Ah."

Huang Yuxi nodded gently, took the clothes, and went into the small dressing room next door.

He was a boy, and he wasn't wearing a vest underneath, meaning he was only wearing one piece of clothing.
