Shi Xinxin walked directly to the last row of the women's clothing section. Although Xu Jiayi was a boy, his build was not as burly as a muscular man, but rather tall and slender. With a little dressing up and makeup, he could definitely become a heartthrob.
Shi Xinxin happily began to pick out clothes for him. Fearing that Xu Jiayi would not adapt, she directly abandoned dresses, and her choices were basically long tops and long pants.
Fifteen minutes later, Shi Xinxin appeared before Xu Jiayi with a makeup bag, a wig, and a set of pure white, highly stylish work attire.
She handed the clothes over, and Xu Jiayi glanced at her before smiling, "Even in these clothes, you won't attract my fans. Change into something else."
Unexpectedly, Shi Xinxin stood her ground and said, "These are not for me to wear, they are for you to wear." Xu Jiayi was so surprised that he dropped the clothes in his hand.
"For me to wear?!"
"Yes, only if you completely change your appearance will they not discover it's you."
"These won't do. Your usual style isn't much different from these clothes. You need a contrast for your fans to not recognize you at all." As she spoke, Shi Xinxin gestured to the clothes in her hand.
However, Xu Jiayi had not yet fully recovered from Shi Xinxin's suggestion. "So, you plan for me to go out shopping with you wearing this outfit in your hands?"
Shi Xinxin nodded. "Yes, and I can't carry the shoes. I'll find a pair of low heels that fit you, because these clothes don't look good on you without heels."
Xu Jiayi shook his head and waved his hands, "No, absolutely not. I will never wear women's clothes."
Shi Xinxin walked up, "Please, just try it once. You were mobbed by fans so badly today. Perhaps by using my method, you'll never be mobbed again." Shi Xinxin said persuasively.
"No, no, absolutely impossible." Xu Jiayi turned and began to circle around the clothing section. He never imagined that Shi Xinxin would come up with such an idea, for him to wear women's clothes for the first time.
Shi Xinxin, carrying a pile of things, followed behind him and said, "Try it on. This will definitely suit you."
"Impossible. Don't even think about it. I will never try it. Don't get your hopes up." Suddenly, Shi Xinxin stopped chasing him.
"When we talked about conditions earlier, you didn't mention this one. And I specifically asked you if you would try any method I thought of, and you said yes. But now you won't even try this one."
Shi Xinxin said aggrievedly, "If you don't try it, and then we have to use another method, and you get mobbed by fans, you'll blame me. So, did you dig a hole for me?"
Xu Jiayi would certainly not admit it, but looking at the clothes in Shi Xinxin's hands, he was extremely resistant. Shi Xinxin said gently, "The set I chose is quite unisex. Look."
Shi Xinxin twirled the clothes in her hand, "And I specifically chose it according to your figure. Unless someone knows you, they definitely won't realize it's you wearing women's clothes."
Xu Jiayi stood there, unsure of what to do. "Or do you want to admit that you just like to make things difficult for your little assistant? If this gets out, your fame as a big star might not be so good."
Shi Xinxin seized upon Xu Jiayi's weak spot. Xu Jiayi froze for a few seconds before finally giving in, "Alright, I promise. But you have to guarantee no photos will be taken during this time, and this matter will absolutely not be spread outside later. I promise you."
Shi Xinxin readily agreed. Then, she began to help Xu Jiayi in the dressing room.
Indeed, based on her observation, the clothes she picked for Xu Jiayi were perfect. The size was just right. Besides his hairstyle, Xu Jiayi looked like a powerful woman.
Shi Xinxin nodded with satisfaction, but Xu Jiayi was very annoyed. "What are you nodding for? Do you really think I'm suitable for wearing women's clothes?"
Shi Xinxin quickly pulled him to the makeup table. "No, if it suits you, it just proves you won't be discovered! If you encounter a role where you have to play a woman in your acting career, you'll be able to handle it easily and naturally."
As she spoke, Shi Xinxin began working on Xu Jiayi's makeup. Xu Jiayi quickly dodged to the side. "What? Why do I still need makeup?"
Shi Xinxin adjusted his face. "How many girls nowadays don't wear makeup? You're dressed so beautifully. If you don't wear makeup, you'll definitely attract attention. So..."
Saying that, Shi Xinxin forcefully smoothed Xu Jiayi's furrowed brow. "This makeup has to be done." Ignoring Xu Jiayi's objections, she applied foundation all over his face. In the end, Xu Jiayi had no choice but to accept.
Shi Xinxin also knew when to stop. She only applied a light makeup to conceal things. Xu Jiayi's naturally enviable skin didn't require much retouching to look very natural.
"Alright, the final step. The wig. You can choose to wear a hat or a wig. A wig looks more natural, but I'm worried it might be too hot in the mall and you'll be uncomfortable. So you can also choose a hat."
Shi Xinxin picked up a fedora for Xu Jiayi to choose from. Xu Jiayi decisively chose the hat. Coupled with his natural short hair, he looked like a cool and stylish woman.
"See, you look much prettier than me now." Xu Jiayi looked at himself in the mirror and had to admit that he was also quite satisfied with his appearance. "Of course. When you're good-looking, everything you do looks good."
His remark left Shi Xinxin speechless. She turned to the closet to pick out shoes for him. Shi Xinxin remembered that a magazine had done a rather avant-garde feature before, with male models wearing high heels to showcase them.
So, among the props, there was a batch of men's high heels. She specifically chose low-heeled sandals, which would be less likely to chafe his feet. She picked out a pair of bright red high heels and placed them in front of Xu Jiayi.
Xu Jiayi glanced at them with disdain. "Hurry up. If you're going to do this, do it completely. If you wear this outfit with a pair of sneakers, all our previous efforts will be wasted."
Xu Jiayi looked at this woman meaningfully. He had initially wanted to tease her, but now he felt as if he was the one being teased. He regretted agreeing to play this game with her.
He reluctantly took off his shoes and put on the high heels. Looking in the mirror, Shi Xinxin had good taste; the whole outfit she chose suited him. To prevent him from backing out, Shi Xinxin quickly pulled him towards the basement.
