The two female customers, after trying on their respective outfits, didn't linger or hesitate. They quickly decided to purchase them.
The customer who chose the blue dress, however, did not look as good in it as Xia Nuannuan. It was similar to the difference between a buyer's photo and a seller's photo.
But the customer herself knew it wasn't the dress's fault.
If she couldn't compete in terms of appearance and figure, she at least wouldn't lose in her attire.
Moreover, not only was the dress stylish, but its fabric and craftsmanship far exceeded what its price point would suggest.
As for the other customer who chose the same outfit as Qin Tian, after coming out of the fitting room, she immediately went to Qin Tian to compare herself and then happily paid and checked out.
To get the prize for spending over five hundred yuan, the two female customers pooled their money for a joint purchase.
Tang Xiuxia helped with the order and payment, while Su Xia, along with Xia Nuannuan, helped pack the clothes and the complimentary pillow into shopping bags. They bid farewell to the two customers with warm smiles.
Upon learning that Su Xia was Xia Nuannuan's mother, the two female customers were greatly surprised.
"Sisters, if you have friends who want to buy clothes, please help introduce them to our shop. We just opened today, and the promotions are great."
After Xia Nuannuan walked the two customers out of the store, she said with a sweet smile.
"Okay, no problem!"
"Definitely, I'll message my friends later!"
Both female customers agreed with bright smiles, and their gazes fell upon Qin Tian next to Xia Nuannuan again.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
Qin Tian forced a smile on his handsome face and thanked the two.
"Pfft!"
The woman who bought his outfit couldn't help but laugh. She quickly turned her head away.
Qin Tian's smile froze again.
"Wenwen, what are you doing? He's already embarrassed enough, and you're still laughing!"
The other girl sternly reprimanded her friend and then apologetically said to Qin Tian, "I'm sorry, she's just like that. Her sense of humor is too low. What's so funny, right? Pfft..."
As she spoke, the girl slapped her own face, unable to suppress her laughter.
Xia Nuannuan was also affected. She turned her head, covered her mouth with her hand, and her shoulders shook.
Qin Tian's mouth twitched slightly. He put on a smile that was more like a grimace and said helplessly, "It's okay, laugh if you want to!"
He had given up struggling altogether.
After getting through this ordeal, he would self-hypnotize and treat it as a nightmare, or simply erase it from his memory.
"Goodbye!"
The female customer, holding back her laughter, said goodbye again and quickly left with her companion.
After watching them leave, Qin Tian turned his head to look at Xia Nuannuan.
Xia Nuannuan had also composed herself, feigning a bewildered expression and blinking her bright, intelligent eyes at him.
"Stop being cute, it's useless. From now on, you're just a sly little fox in my eyes."
"Hate it, I'm not!"
"I don't trust you anymore. Zhang Wuji's mother said before she died that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she lies."
"Hahaha..."
Xia Nuannuan was amused by his words and let out a melodious, cheerful laugh.
"Mom, look! There's a strange big brother over there!"
Suddenly, a pleasant child's voice was heard.
The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl by the elevator, holding her mother's hand with one hand and pointing towards Qin Tian with the other.
The little girl, about five or six years old, had her big eyes wide open. Her small, round face, which was quite cute, was full of surprise and curiosity.
Beside her, her rather young mother had also seen Qin Tian. Her astonished gaze held a hint of wariness.
In this era, it was not like the later self-media era, where cross-dressing internet celebrities frequently appeared on short videos, and bizarre personalities like "Eating Peach Peach, So Cool" were not uncommon.
Especially in a small city like Yucheng, most people had seen very little of it.
Qin Tian covered his face with his hand. Being teased by a little girl like this made him feel utterly defeated.
Xia Nuannuan smiled, her eyes curved, and waved at the little girl, saying, "Little sister, we're just attracting customers, it's not strange!"
"But... why is big brother wearing a girl's clothes?"
The little one furrowed her thick, caterpillar-like eyebrows and tilted her head, asking with full of incomprehension.
"Well..."
Xia Nuannuan was momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer.
Fortunately, the young mother next to the little girl seemed to understand. She asked with a smile, "Is this a new store opening?"
"Yes, we just opened today!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded repeatedly with a smile and invited, "Our store has many beautiful styles, would you like to come in and take a look?"
"Okay!"
The young mother glanced at Qin Tian again and agreed with a smile.
Understanding that this was just a novel way to attract customers, she found it quite interesting.
Xia Nuannuan led the young mother into the store, but the little girl was reluctant to go further, still staring at Qin Tian like a curious baby.
"Niuniu, can you play here with big brother and not run around while Mommy looks at clothes?"
The young mother said gently to her daughter.
"Okay!!"
The girl obediently agreed.
The young mother released her daughter's hand and looked at Qin Tian with a smile.
Qin Tian nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her!"
"Thank you!"
The young mother thanked him and then went into the store to pick out clothes.
Qin Tian lowered his head, meeting the little girl's gaze as she looked up at him.
"Big brother!"
"Yes?"
"Do you want to become a girl?"
The little girl's expression was innocent and pure, but her words made Qin Tian's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha..."
Laughter from Xia Nuannuan and the others could be heard from inside the store.
"No,"
Qin Tian took a deep breath and denied it with a forced smile, shaking his head.
"Then, big brother, are you like us girls and like to wear little dresses?"
"No, big brother is being forced!"
"Ah? Is someone forcing you to wear this?"
"Yes!"
"I see. When the weather is cold, my mom also forces me to wear long johns!"
The little girl nodded in sudden realization, as if she deeply sympathized with him.
Qin Tian just smiled and said nothing.
He couldn't explain to the little one that these were two completely unrelated situations.
"Big brother, you're so handsome and tall. This dress looks small on you!"
"Big brother, big brother, are the little dresses comfortable to wear?"
"Why aren't you talking to me, big brother?"
"This is the first time I've seen a boy wear a little dress. I'm going to tell my teacher and classmates at school tomorrow."
...
The little girl chattered like a sparrow, bombarding Qin Tian with a hundred thousand questions.
To make her stop, Qin Tian decisively pretended to be mute.
