Couple Outfits (3)

On the side, Rui-jie suddenly broke into a loud laugh and reached out to pat Ruan Qingmu’s shoulder. “I will raise half of your wages tonight. I’m pleased.”

“It has nothing to do with you. I’m doing this for myself.”

Rui-jie: “…”

Fine, fine, as long as you’re happy.

As they were talking, the female model in the live broadcast had finished displaying her clothes and came out holding a cup of tea. Walking to the door, she looked at her boss in a puzzled manner. “What happened? If you want to fight, let’s agree first. Lao-Niang is responsible only for looking pretty, not for using knives and guns.”

Ruan Qingmu looked up at her. Sure enough, something was wrong with his voice just now. Looking from a front view, she had Adam’s apple and was a cross-dresser like Fang Li. This person was definitely a ‘he.’

It was hard to see his original face under the makeup, but he didn’t look too old, with no wrinkles and firm skin.

The boy looked at Fang Li and let out a “tch.” “I really can’t recognize you. You look so good after putting on makeup.”

Fang Li smiled abashedly. “No, no… you’re more good-looking.”

That man twisted his waist and smiled sweetly at the middle-aged woman. “I’m getting off work. Remember to send today’s wages to my Alipay.”

Ruan Qingmu looked at him as he walked away, turning his head to look at Fang Li. “Do you know him?”

Fang Li lowered his head, his eyelashes fluttering rapidly. “Mm… I met him somewhere else before.”

It was the same person he met last time at the Heterochromatic Bar, who sat at the bar in a skirt and chatted with him along with the bartender. The lights were dim and he didn’t recall this person at the time, but this person recognized him first as soon as he came in today.

Rui-jie led the two boys into her broadcast room next door, which had a row of display racks with all sorts of clothes hanging on them, all ancient styles with long robes, wide sleeves, and fluttering sashes.

Rui-jie pointed to the shelves of clothes inside. “You should look good in these.”

When selling clothes online, face and body shape were the most crucial. When an ordinary person went up there and didn’t look good, they could directly drive away the customers!

Ruan Qingmu and Fang Li looked at each other. Fang Li blushed and asked in a small voice, “Ruan-ge, why are you suddenly willing to do this?”

Ruan Qingmu’s expression looked like he had a toothache. “I’m short of money.”

Fang Li nodded deeply. “Me too.”

Ruan Qingmu looked at him and sighed.

“Is your mom’s salary enough to support both of you?” he asked in a low voice.

Fang Li lowered his head. “It’s still enough for now… Anyway, her medicine isn’t expensive and my school fee isn’t much either.”

“What about later? What will you do when getting into university?”

University was different from high school, with much higher tuition fees, accommodation costs, and living expenses. With such a small figure, wouldn’t Fang Li be bullied to death if he went out to work?

Fang Li said softly, “It’s hard to tell whether I can get into a university or not. I’ll take one step at a time.”

Ruan Qingmu didn’t say anything.

Rui-jie went on to say, “You two don’t know how to describe clothes, so you don’t need to say anything. Just change your clothes and strike a pose. I’ll do the presentation and marketing. Is that okay?”

Ruan Qingmu looked at the clothes on the shelves. “Wearing these?”

Rui-jie nodded. “You’re in charge of wearing the men’s clothes. This little brother–”

She looked at Fang Li. “Will wear women’s clothes according to our agreement. If there’s no problem, shall we begin?”

Ruan Qingmu and Fang Li reluctantly nodded.

Ruan Qingmu was in charge of wearing the men’s clothes and didn’t need to wear girls’ make-up. Rui-jie simply put powder on her face and a little nude lipstick before putting on an ancient women’s hair wig.

When it was done, Rui-jie clapped her hands vigorously. “Aiya, it’s all done. It looks really good.”

The two boys went behind the curtain to change their clothes and looked at each other, both slightly embarrassed.

Two winter cloaks. One was black with gold pine and crane embroidery while the other had the same pattern, only one size smaller and was pure white, also embellished with dark gold embroidery.

A blind man could see that it was precisely a couple’s outfit.

The two boys looked at each other before Ruan Qingmu suddenly stretched his neck and asked, “Boss, do many people watch your broadcast?”

Rui-jie’s voice was slightly frustrated. “Not many, but don’t worry. The money that was agreed upon will not be any less for you.”

Upon hearing that not many people were watching, Ruan Qingmu and Fang Li both breathed a soft sigh of relief.

After looking at the couple’s outfit, Ruan Qingmu suddenly asked in a low voice, “Does Fu Songhua know you came out to do this?”

Fang Li’s face blushed. “I-I didn’t tell him.”

Ruan Qingmu said, “Oh.”

“What about you?” Fang Li also asked softly, “Does Class monitor Qin know you’re here?”

Ruan Qingmu was stunned. “… H-He doesn’t know either.”
