Chu Qiao was tempted and brought the clothes to the fitting room to put on.

She was dressed casually today, in a white blouse and trousers.

This oversized sweater looks great with skinny pants.

She immediately tried on the goose-yellow one. When she stepped out, Amei congratulated her again, saying, “It looks great, Miss Chu. You’re a natural clothes hanger, everything looks great on you.”

Chu Qiao stood in front of the mirror and studied herself from every aspect.

She was happy with how it appeared, even though the trousers did not exactly match, which reduced the overall impact. 

She then changed into the light gray one and thought it looked nice too. 

In high spirits, Chu Qiao said, “I’ll take both. I can switch between them.”  

“Sure, I’ll wrap them up for you.”  

Amei was also delighted. Her salary consisted of a base pay plus commission, and sometimes the commission even exceeded her base pay. 

She particularly liked customers like Chu Qiao, who were generous and decisive.  

As Chu Qiao was changing in the fitting room, she heard Amei talking to someone outside: “Boss, Miss Chu is here. She’s changing.”  

“Oh, pack these two cheongsams for me. I’ll take them with me later.”  

After giving instructions, Lin Baiwei headed to the fitting room. 

Chu Qiao had just put on her blouse when the door suddenly opened, startling her. 

She covered her chest and snapped, “Can’t you knock?”  

“There are no men around. What are you afraid of?”  

Lin Baiwei leaned against the doorframe, watching her change with a teasing gaze. 

Her eyes lingered on Chu Qiao’s neck, and her expression turned suggestive. 

She joked, “Things got pretty intense last night, huh?”  

Chu Qiao didn’t understand at first and looked up in confusion. 

Following Lin Baiwei’s gaze, she spotted several ambiguous marks on her neck, known as the humorous modern expression ‘planting strawberries’. Her face immediately reddened.

She quickly buttoned up her blouse and gave Lin Baiwei a glare.

Chu Qiao felt more at ease once she had fully dressed.

Even though Lin Baiwei was a woman, she was uncomfortable showing her body.

Lin Baiwei’s office was upstairs, serving as both her studio and living space. Sometimes she even slept there. 

The room was simply furnished with a bed, a desk, and a cabinet. The desk was cluttered with sketches, and the bed was strewn with clothes.  

“Why don’t you tidy up a bit? You didn’t even make the bed. How can you stand such a mess?” 

Chu Qiao couldn’t help but comment.  

She preferred everything in a room to be neat and orderly, she couldn’t tolerate even a little disarray. 

Every time she went to Lin Baiwei’s office, she felt compelled to tidy it up.  

“Why bother making the bed? I’m just going to sleep in it again tonight. It’s a waste of time.”  

Lin Baiwei always had an excuse. She picked up two cups and asked, “Coffee or black tea?”  

“Just water, please.”  

Chu Qiao didn’t like drinking coffee or tea.  

“You’re actually quite boring, you know? You don’t know how to enjoy life.”  

Lin Baiwei brewed herself a cup of black tea and handed Chu Qiao a glass of water, teasing her lightly.  

“Does not drinking coffee or tea mean I don’t know how to enjoy life? Well, if that’s the case, can I call you a slob for having such a messy room? Look at how well you dress yourself up.”  

Chu Qiao rolled her eyes and fired back without hesitation.  

Lin Baiwei sipped her tea and smiled as she said, “That is different. My room isn’t open to the public, therefore a little mess is acceptable. But I go out frequently, and dressed nicely shows respect for others. Not making my bed is simply a matter of conserving time. Life is short, and valuable time should be spent on more meaningful things.  

Chu Qiao rolled her eyes and responded fiercely, “That’s simply sophistry. Let me ask you this: isn’t it a waste to eat something only to poop it out afterwards? So, why do you bother eating?”

“Pfft—”

Lin Baiwei, who had been drinking tea, spat out a mouthful and ended up with tea all over her face, coughing uncontrollably.  

Chu Qiao casually grabbed a piece of cloth from the table and tossed it to her. 

Lin Baiwei wiped her face and mouth clean but then sensed something was off.
