Chapter 222 – Changing Room.
Fang Chi felt like he was in some sort of dream, ever since his mother passed away and all the fortune that his mother made as a merchant was taken away by his relatives, he never once got a chance to stand tall in a classy shop with so many workers surrounding him like he was a real young master. Now, that he was surrounded by a group of mers that were working twice as hard as to please him asking him to look at this clothing and that clothing, Fang Chi could no longer differentiate between reality and a dream, he just looked at Yu Dong who watched him in amusement.
Yu Dong was indeed amused, Fang Chi was being treated like a young mer from a rich family. If it was someone else they would have grown as cocky as a proud peacock but not him. He was looking at her with those moist eyes that resembled those of a deer that have lost its way, Yu Dong cleared her throat and walked inside the crowd that was surrounding Fang Chi when the mers parted to let her get close to Fang Chi.
" Can't choose or there is nothing that you like?" Yu Dong didn't want to pressurize Fang Chi with her presence so that he will end up choosing some random clothing just so that he can get out of this predicament which was why she left him alone so that he will be able to choose anything that he liked but looks like her little mer wasn't even used to such a small thing and was feeling overwhelmed. In the end, even if she didn't want to intervene, she had to or else she was afraid that her fiancé would burst into waterworks.
He did look like a stranded puppy.
" I … I, I like it but I can't choose with so many people telling me that this looks good and that looks good" whispered Fang Chi holding Yu Dong's sleeves as he shyly hid behind her when some of the mers giggled muttering ' how cute, he wasn't cute! He was scared! How can they crowd him like that? He was afraid that he was going to drown in a sea of clothes! He couldn't even get a good look at the clothing material that a mer was showing him when he was replaced by someone else, how was he supposed to choose clothes for himself like this?
Yu Dong understood what he was trying to say, maybe she shouldn't have left him alone. She scratched her chin and turned to look at the workers with a smile " my fiancé is a bit shy, why don't we do this? One of you show him around? He isn't good with crowd and-"
She paused and looked at Fang Chi who was tugging on her sleeves and arched a brow questioningly, the latter blushed but then twiddled with his thumbs and said " Can't you… Can't you help me choose the clothes? I think I would do better with your suggestions"
Yu Dong wanted to agree outright after looking at his expression that shot an arrow right through her chest and struck at her heart but then again the dressing room was solely exclusive to mers and she couldn't just go inside with him at most she could help him chose the clothes but in the end, he had to try them on with the help of these mers who worked here but looking at him, it seems as if he didn't understand why she was trying to choose a mer to help him.
She smiled awkwardly at the knowing smirk the mers were shooting her and leaned down to whisper in Fang Chi's ears " I can help you in choosing clothes but you still have to choose a mer to help you-"
" Why?" Fang innocent Chi who haven't tried clothes in shops before couldn't understand why he have to select a mer to help him? He was fine with Yu Dong alone.
Yu Dong tried to ignore the smirks of the mers that were getting wider and wider, she wanted to say that, unlike their usual customers who were a bit freaky, she had no intention of following her fiancé in the changing room, she stood in front of Fang Chi to save him from the embarrassment that he might face after she explained it to him, taking a deep breath she finally opened her mouth " Because some of the clothing here are of new styles and you will want someone to tie this or that… that means that you will need someone's help in the changing room…" her voice got smaller and smaller, not because she was shy but Fang Chi's face went so red that she found herself getting instinctively shy together with him. She tried to ignore the embarrassment that she was feeling but because of the smoke coming out of Fang Chi's head like cooking steam, she could only rub her nose awkwardly " so who do you want?"
Fang Chi wished that the floor would crack and he would fall in it but he knew that there was no way it was going to happen so he lowered his head and pointed to the small mer who looked around fourteen, among everyone else he was the only one who didn't overwhelm him by spouting out things that made his mind get all jumbled up " I want him"
Yu Dong coughed and looked at the little mer with a kind smile " Very well then, I will leave him in your capable hands alright?"
The little boy blinked his eyes in surprise and nodded his head excitedly, after all this was his first time getting chosen. Every time the customers would choose someone who was more experienced than him and he was often shunted by the older mers finally he was chosen! Now he won't have to jump around carelessly as long as he was able to win over this customer, his job as a salesman would be set!
" Young master come with me, you can call me Qing'er or Xiao Qing whatever you like the most" wanting to give his best impression to Fang Chi little Qing worked his best but even after trying his best, his good impression was almost ruined by someone.
