Country Beauty 231, Main Text 231: Buying Clothes 231 – Buying Clothes Lu Yun and Ling Xiaoman followed the store owner into the shop. At once, Lu Yun was overwhelmed by the variety of clothing on display and quickly decided he must buy two pieces for Ling Xiaoman—something, even if just one item, so she could wear it. This content is the text from Chapter 231 of the series "Country Beauty 231." – Love Corner – (waoshu8m) Lu Yun stands at 1.7 meters tall. Though his face still carries a touch of youth and freshness, anyone unfamiliar with his age would never guess he’s only just over thirteen. The store owner, a young woman, assumed Lu Yun was at least ten years older. Seeing how close and affectionate he was with Ling Xiaoman, she concluded they were a couple and warmly greeted them: “Many of my customers come in pairs—couples—and I especially offer the latest styles of couple’s outfits. Let me show you a few pieces to take a look at. Once you’ve settled on a style, the price will be easy to agree upon.” "The owner mistakenly thought the two were a couple, and Ling Xiaoman blushed slightly. Just as she was about to explain, Lu Yun quickly interjected, 'Madam, I'm sorry, we're not a couple.' Madam was momentarily taken aback, a bit embarrassed, but her business-savvy composure instantly turned her into a composed smile. 'If not a couple, then perhaps siblings,' she said with a chuckle, 'So, are you looking for men's or women's clothing?' 'Siblings!' That relationship seemed quite pleasant—at the very least, it was acceptable to both Lu Yun and Ling Xiaoman, eliminating any awkwardness and making them feel no need to further explain. Lu Yun said, 'I'd like to buy two sets of clothes for my sister. Madam, do you have anything that would look both elegant and refined on her?' 'Of course we do!' the madam replied with a warm smile. 'With her beauty, she'll look stunning and graceful no matter what she wears.' She then turned and carefully browsed through the samples displayed on the wall. " Lin Xiaoman furrowed her brows, pulling Lu Yun aside and smiling, "Lu Yun, I specifically told you not to buy anything. How come you...?" Lu Yun smiled, "Ms. Lin, you're now my sister. Shouldn't I buy something for my sister?" Lin Xiaoman was at a loss, still trying to argue, when the owner's wife already approached with a long dress that was very similar in style to the one Lin Xiaoman had worn earlier. She looked at Lin Xiaoman and said, "How about this one? It's the latest style, just arrived yesterday and selling quickly." Lu Yun immediately fell in love with it, fearing that Lin Xiaoman might find an excuse to decline. So she quickly insisted, "Just this one, Sister. Try it on and see if it fits." The owner's wife added promptly, "There's a dressing room at the back. Go try it there. If it doesn't suit you, I'll find another style or size for you." Lin Xiaoman silently accepted the dress, and her first action—while Lu Yun wasn't paying attention—was to secretly check the price tag on the dress: 97 yuan! Though it wasn't comparable in price to her own, Ling Xiaoman still directly handed it over to the owner's wife. The owner's wife's smile froze momentarily, and she stammered, "Is it not to your liking? No matter— I'll find something else for you." Ling Xiaoman nodded. Lu Yun, however, urged, "Sister, I think this one is quite good. Try it on, okay? If it doesn't suit you, we can always switch to another style later." "Exactly, exactly. Don't worry— even if it's not your preference, we won't hold you to it and make you pay more than you'd like." The owner's wife also encouraged them, having carefully observed Ling Xiaoman's subtle gestures. Since Lu Yun and Ling Xiaoman had entered the store, she had already noticed their rural attire. But seeing how fresh and beautifully attractive Ling Xiaoman was, she had decided to offer her a more expensive, longer dress. Ling Xiaoman observed Lu Yun's expression and knew that if she didn't buy something today, she would definitely not be satisfied. She then walked over to the clothes hanging on the wall, silently browsing each one, and finally settled her gaze on a pair of slim denim pants and a white t-shirt. She instinctively checked the prices—37 yuan for the pants and 23 yuan for the t-shirt, totaling 60 yuan. If she negotiated, she could probably get both for around 50 yuan. "I'll take these two," Ling Xiaoman said to the owner. The owner was slightly disappointed, as although she had sold two items, the profit was only half of what she would have made from the long dress alone. Still, selling two was better than selling none. She smiled and approached Ling Xiaoman, saying, "Miss, your eye for detail is really good—these two items are not only affordable but also enhance your graceful figure. This content is from Chapter 231 of the novel "Rural Beauty." Lu Yun had originally thought Ling Xiaoman was concerned that he didn’t have enough money to cover the cost of the long dress, so she had declined it. But upon hearing that Ling Xiaoman now wanted to buy two dresses, he felt a surge of joy and silently resolved: as long as Ling Teacher was happy, even if he spent all the money D Yang Yanping had given him for sanitary pads, it would be worthwhile. The owner’s wife brought two new dresses to Ling Xiaoman and pointed to a small room behind them with a large glass panel. "That’s the dressing room," she said, "Go try them on and see which one suits you better." Ling Xiaoman nodded, glanced back at Lu Yun, and then walked straight to the dressing room. Lu Yun found a chair and sat down, waiting for Ling Xiaoman to come out in her new clothes. Taking this opportunity, the owner’s wife approached and struck up a conversation: "Hey, would you like to buy two sets as well? I have quite a few new men’s outfits available—would you like to take a look?" Lu Yun smiled and shook his head. "No thanks, I’ll just buy two for my sister." The owner's wife looked slightly disappointed, smiled at Lu Yun, and said, "Then that's settled. You just sit there while I sort through the goods." With that, she turned and walked to the side, squatting down to begin gathering the items. Lu Yun glanced at her idly, but his eyes seemed suddenly fixed, unable to move. Lu Yun wanted to change the subject, but the owner's wife seemed to sense that Lu Yun had been quietly watching her. As she shifted into a half-kneeling position, not only did she reveal most of her underpants, but also exposed half of the cleft between her buttocks—her snowy, fragrant hips were just a hair's breadth away from fully spilling out beyond the fabric.
