On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 18 has been appraised, the figure is superb!
The wooden door of the tailor shop was ajar, and the copper bell on the lintel was plucked by the wind, interweaving with the French chanson flowing from the gramophone into a lazy tune.

Su Yuqing's eyes swept over the artistic fabrics displayed in the window, which were as tall as three or four stories. Her fingers unconsciously pinched Chen Mo's cuffs: "This... looks so expensive."

"The proprietress is an old classmate of my mom's. She specializes in student business. It's not expensive, so feel free to come in." Chen Mo pushed open the door calmly, and the wooden floor made a slight creaking sound.

The ready-made garments hanging in the store swayed gently in the breeze, and the air was filled with the scent of ironed cotton. The woman behind the counter, wearing tortoise-shell glasses, looked up, her gaze lingering for a moment on their clasped hands. A smile marked the corners of her eyes. "Oh, what a beautiful girl! Mo Mo brought his girlfriend here to choose clothes?"

The tips of Su Yuqing's ears instantly turned red, and her fingertips unconsciously twisted the hem of Chen Mo's shirt.

Chen Mo felt the slight vibration of the fabric, and with a rolling sound of his Adam's apple, he gently released her hand and said with a smile: "Aunt Lin, the season is about to change soon. Please help her look for some seasonal styles..."

After a pause, Chen Mo moved closer and added in a low voice, "I need a few sets of underwear, too. They must be pure cotton, type A."

"I understand!" Lin Yuwei smiled and pulled Su Yuqing with a tape measure to the fitting curtain that only covered the body below the neck. Su Yuqing saw that she could still see Chen Mo, and always felt that her whole body was exposed to his sight. She couldn't help but shyly and almost shrank into the rack where linen dresses were hanging.

Seeing this, Chen Mo retreated to the rattan chair by the window and sat down, lowering his eyes and absent-mindedly flipping through the fabric sample book.

He seemed to be reading a book, but in fact he had already heard the girl's frantic and weak voice as she rejected him: "Um, lace really doesn't need to be..."

"Listen, Auntie. We women have to please ourselves too. Don't you think you look beautiful in this style? Don't worry about what others think. Besides, no one can see your underwear anyway. We should choose what we like based on our own vision and not let the opinions of vulgar people sway our right to choose beauty."

After Lin Yuwei's inspirational words, Su Yuqing was not as resistant as she was at the beginning. She did prefer this lace style to the plain ones, but this one exposed too much, which was really embarrassing to look at.

"First, ask yourself if you like it. Secondly, let me tell you, this look of yours will definitely charm that stinky boy Momo to death. If you like it yourself, and you can also make the boy you like like it, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

Su Yuqing opened her mouth and wanted to explain their relationship, but when the words came to her lips, it was as if there were a thousand layers of glue sealing her mouth. In the end, she didn't utter a word of explanation. "Then let's do this."

"Okay, I'll prepare seven sets for you so that you can feel fresh every day." Lin Yuwei said with a smile.

These words sounded extremely embarrassing to Su Yuqing.

After the underwear was confirmed, Lin Yuwei began to match clothes for Su Yuqing. As the fitting curtain rose and fell, Chen Mo saw Lin Yuwei go back in with a goose yellow dress and light blue shirt.

Chen Mo leaned against the wall and counted the spots of light leaking through the gaps in the curtains. When he heard the rustling sound of clothes, a thin layer of sweat suddenly broke out on the back of his neck.

He was already imagining what Su Yuqing would look like wearing this outfit.

When the curtain was pulled open, he was staring at the sewing machine in the corner in a daze.

"Will it be weird?" Su Yuqing grabbed the hem of her skirt and turned around a little, her hair brushing against the bow tie at her collarbone.

The morning light enveloped her in a translucent honey color, and the curve of her cotton skirt swayed like a newly blooming lily of the valley.

Chen Mo's Adam's apple slid heavily, and he suddenly stood up and reached out to straighten her shirt collar: "The second button is buttoned wrong." His fingertips accidentally brushed against the girl's neck skin, and they both froze at the same time.

The phonograph just then started playing the chorus of "La Vie En Rose." Chen Mo retracted his hand as if struck by electricity, turned around, grabbed a straw sunhat from the shelf, and put it on her head: "Pair this with it, it's good for sun protection."

Su Yuqing lowered her head shyly. At this time, Lin Yuwei smiled and said, "It seems that you are all very satisfied. Try this set again."

After a while, when the fitting curtain was opened again, the boy's Adam's apple rolled heavily - the ramie fiber showed a translucent texture in the morning light, Su Yuqing's pale pink skin at the collarbone was faintly visible, and the buttons on the waist rose and fell with her breathing, like a butterfly that would flap its wings at any time.

The most important thing was that the thin undershirt actually revealed the light pink lace bra underneath, which made Chen Mo stare at it without blinking.

Soon Su Yuqing changed into several sets of clothes. It must be said that Lin Yuwei's vision is really unique. Every set of clothes can make Chen Mo and Su Yuqing satisfied.

"Okay, okay, Aunt Lin, stop matching. My card is almost not enough to pay for your nephew's money." Seeing that Lin Yuwei was addicted to matching Su Yuqing as a model, Chen Mo quickly stopped her.

"What are you afraid of? I'm your Aunt Lin, and I'm the one who's anxious to get the money. I'll just ask your mother to reimburse me later and that's it. If she finds out that you're spending money on your daughter-in-law, I wonder how happy she'll be."

"Don't talk nonsense to her. I haven't even started this matter yet."

"Oh, you're playing it so innocently, kid. I thought you had already done something fait accompli." Lin Yuwei had an expression that said, "It's up to you whether I believe it or not."

Chen Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Really, don't tell my mom anything, or I won't come to take care of your business next time."

"Okay, okay, since you're spending money here at Aunt Lin's, I'll keep it a secret and give you a 10% discount."

"Everyone says selling clothes is profitable. It turns out it's really that profitable. You can even get a 10% discount." Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"You think it's too cheap, right? Then I'll charge you more." Lin Yuwei rolled her eyes at him.

"No, no, no, Aunt Lin is the best. We agreed on a 10% discount, so you can't go back on your word. I'll treat you to dinner next time." Chen Mo quickly smiled and tried to stop her.

"That's pretty much it."

When checking out, Lin Yuwei wrapped the folded underwear separately in brown paper, winked at Chen Mo, and whispered in his ear with an auntie's smile, "Auntie Lin has appraised your girlfriend's figure for you. It's absolutely top-notch. You are so lucky."

The young man coughed and took out the credit card his father left him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Yuqing standing on tiptoe to study the lace nightgown by the window. The straw hat in her hair tilted with her movement, revealing the cinnabar mole on her earlobe. She looked so young and beautiful in the warm light.

During the hallucination, the photo of Su Yuqing's tragic death under the heavy rain flashed before Chen Mo's eyes again.

He clenched his fists and swore in his heart that he would never let such a thing happen again in his life. As long as he was alive, he would always cherish the beauty in front of him.
