Luo Ziyun said, "Tangyu, I really didn’t expect you to be so talented. Your words flow into poetry, each line is exquisite, it’s truly remarkable. You are definitely quite a talent, although—your clothes are a bit shabby, and you’re a bit thin and lack so energy. But you still give off a sunny and bold vibe, with a bit of masculinity. It’s just that it doesn’t quite match this body of yours."
Tangyu pouted and said, "I deliberately make myself look so lancholic and sorrowful, adding so tones of sadness, so I seem like a man with stories. I did it on purpose, don’t you get it?"
"Pfft—" Luo Ziyun was amused again. This woman is quite cheerful and sunny, her smile is beautiful and sweet, indeed a nice girl. Being with this kind of girl, you could say it’s a happiness: "Don’t be so funny, can you? I haven’t felt any sorrow from you. You are obviously very talkative and quite manly, why do you make yourself like this? I think if you dress up again, you could definitely transform and beco a new person. Look, there’s a clothing store ahead, why don’t I take you to change into a new outfit? I’ll give you so advice."
"So, you think my outfit isn’t cool enough or handso enough?"
"Kind of."
"Alright, then, let’s go change."
So they got off the carriage and entered a clothing store. The shop assistant imdiately approached them, his eyes landing on Luo Ziyun, while Tangyu was directly ignored, only regarded as an ordinary person. Or rather, dressed so shabbily, not even as good as an ordinary person.
"Hehe, guest, we just received a batch of new items, custom-made for a beautiful lady like you, over here, take a look." The assistant said enthusiastically.
Luo Ziyun pointed at Tangyu and said, "I’m not looking for clothes, my friend wants to see so. Take out the nicer clothes in your store that suit him."
"Him—" the assistant glanced at Tangyu with so disdain, but as an assistant, he couldn’t show this emotion on his face. However, there was so contempt in his heart: "Alright, co this way, these are all quite trendy styles, and this gentleman will certainly look handso in them."
Tangyu didn’t mind the assistant’s behavior and started looking on his own. Actually, Tangyu never had any demands when it ca to clothing. Whether it looks good depends on the person. Clothing can only enhance. He used to be very confident, but now that he’s in the Great Luo Realm, the situation is indeed a bit different. Dressed too shabbily, it does look unsightly. Of course, Tangyu doesn’t pursue anything too fancy, as long as it’s not tattered, at least clean and decent, that’s enough.
What he was wearing now was full of patches, very worn-out, it was ti for a change.
"Oh what a coincidence, Zi Yan, are you here for clothes?" At this mont, a delighted voice suddenly ca over. A young gentleman dressed in splendor entered with two attendants in tow, clearly soone of status.
Luo Ziyun glanced at the newcor, slightly furrowing her brows, obviously not very fond. However, the other party ca up with a slightly fawning tone, "Zi Yan, have you seen any clothes you like, I’ll buy them for you. But there aren’t very high-quality goods here, should we go sowhere else to shop? Hehe, it’s rare to see you out shopping, today is really a coincidence. By the way Zi Yan, have you eaten? If not, I’ll treat you, I know a place where the food is exceptionally good, sothing you haven’t had before."
The other person’s enthusiasm was clearly a pursuit of Luo Ziyun. Tangyu’s attention returned, examining this young gentleman. He had encountered this kind of lodramatic scenario many tis on Earth, to be honest, Tangyu was a bit tired of it. However, such scenarios could happen anywhere.
Luo Ziyun was from a wealthy family, naturally well-educated, she forced a smile in response, "No need, thanks young sir, I appreciate your kindness, but I’ve already eaten. I’m not buying anything, just browsing, helping my friend pick out so clothes. If you have sothing to do, go ahead and take care of it."
The implication was naturally not wanting to talk much with the young gentleman.
However, the young gentleman seed oblivious to Luo Ziyun’s aning, still with a sowhat fawning smile: "No worries, no worries, I don’t have much to do anyway, I’m just out wandering. It’s great I ran into you, I’ll accompany you for a while then. Oh, is this your friend?"
As he spoke, the young gentleman also gave Tangyu a once-over with a sowhat peculiar look, not being too overt, but clearly harboring a sense of disdain. Coming from a wealthy family, holding himself in high regard, he naturally didn’t want to associate with soone as destitute as Tangyu.
"Yes, he’s my friend." Luo Ziyun stated firmly.
"Hehe, Zi Yan, your compassion is quite overflowing. Such a kind heart can be taken advantage of by so people. There are so many people trying to climb the social ladder now. Zi Yan, you’re sothing of a small Commandery Princess, after all. Sotis, you need to pay attention to your own status. Otherwise, you might be gossiped about." The young gentleman said with a smile, but every word targeted Tangyu, and his derogatory intent was very clear.
Hearing this, Luo Ziyun’s brows furrowed, clearly displeased, and the young gentleman imdiately added, "Zi Yan, I didn’t an anything by it, just genuinely for your own good. After all, this world is very complicated. Sotis, you have to be cautious."
Luo Ziyun said, "Young sir, my affairs don’t require you to worry about them. How I conduct myself, who I make friends with, is my freedom, I know my own mind. If you continue to disrespect my friend, you can leave."
Seeing Luo Ziyun was sowhat angry, the young gentleman imdiately said, "Alright alright, consider what I said wrong, I won’t say it anymore."
Luo Ziyan glanced at Tangyu a bit embarrassed: "Don’t mind him, just ignore him."
Tangyu curled his lips, looking indifferent. Tangyu naturally didn’t want to bother with such people and continued picking out his clothes. Unlike won, Tangyu wasn’t very particular about choosing clothes—he randomly picked a set and headed to the fitting room.
After Tangyu entered the fitting room, Young Master Xie couldn’t help but say, "Zi Yan, can he even afford this set of clothes? This set costs at least one or two thousand, right? Although it’s quite ordinary, judging by his appearance, he doesn’t look like he can afford it. So, Zi Yan, are you going to buy it for him? That’s a bit inappropriate, isn’t it?"
"What’s so inappropriate? Even if I buy it for him, it’s my choice. Why do you care so much?" Due to the previous incidents, Luo Ziyan was still a little angry, so her words were not as polite.
Even the most well-mannered girl can have a temper.
Young Master Xie felt very displeased. Luo Ziyan was getting angry at him for the sake of a poor scholar, which made him feel upset. But dealing with Luo Ziyan, Young Master Xie didn’t get angry and said, "Zi Yan, don’t always get angry. Aren’t I just looking out for you? I really think there’s no need for you to get too close to such people; it doesn’t match your status."
Luo Ziyan turned her head away in anger and stopped speaking.
Not long after, Tangyu ca out of the fitting room, wearing a clean set of clothes and with his hair tidied. The difference was noticeable. He seed full of energy, like a completely different person. Although he hadn’t changed entirely, the transformation was significant. At a glance, even Luo Ziyan almost didn’t recognize him. Instantly, the sense of decay and roughness on Tangyu was completely washed away, as if the clouds over him had cleared, revealing the day again.
Such a huge change was indeed surprising.
Looking at Tangyu, Luo Ziyan was montarily stunned. This feeling was truly impressive. Of course, primarily because Luo Ziyan already had a high liking for Tangyu, this added situation naturally produced a different reaction. If it were the first ti she’d seen Tangyu, Luo Ziyan might not even glance in his direction.
A person’s handsoness isn’t just about the outside; what’s more important is the inside. For Luo Ziyan, the inside is more important than the outside. Luo Ziyan already understood the inner beauty of Tangyu. Now, he also had so outer beauty. The combination naturally enhanced his appeal, making Luo Ziyan’s eyes shine.
Seeing Luo Ziyan’s expression, Young Master Xie felt even more uncomfortable. He glanced at Tangyu a couple of tis, mumbling in his heart: "This is what you call handso? I’m more than ten tis better-looking than him, okay? What’s going on with Zi Yan’s taste? I really don’t get it."
Purely in terms of looks, Young Master Xie indeed held a slight edge over Tangyu. But when it cos to inner qualities, Tangyu could surpass Young Master Xie by miles.
Tangyu curled his lips into a smile: "Zi Yan, how about this?"
Luo Ziyan finally snapped back to reality and nodded: "Mm, very nice, very handso, and looks very spirited."
"Hehe, I think so too, so I’ll take this set. How much is it, buddy?" Tangyu smiled with a bit of self-admiration.
"Really shaless," Young Master Xie cursed inwardly.
The attendant said, "Sir, for the whole set, it will be sixteen hundred."
Inwardly, Young Master Xie sneered coldly; he wanted to see Tangyu get embarrassed. Luo Ziyan had already taken out the money to pay for Tangyu. Seeing this, Young Master Xie said, "Zi Yan, since when do we let girls pay when buying things? Isn’t that slapping the guy’s face? Even if you agree, your friend might not. You’re called Tangyu, right? Hehe, don’t know if I’m right?"
Luo Ziyan glared at Young Master Xie annoyedly; she understood Xie’s intentions.
Tangyu also knew this guy was ssing with him, but it didn’t matter to Tangyu. He could afford this little money—when did he ever let a woman pay for his things?
"Yes, you’re right. When a man buys things, he indeed shouldn’t let a woman pay. That tramples a man’s dignity," Tangyu acknowledged with a nod.
Young Master Xie’s smile grew wider: "Well said. We n can lack everything but can’t lack dignity. How about this? If you don’t have enough money, I can lend you so. What do you think?"
After saying this, Young Master Xie felt pleased, thinking that if Tangyu really asked him for a loan, he’d essentially be stomping on Tangyu’s dignity—exactly the feeling he wanted.
