It was fortunate that Gu Qinnian had a knack for spinning lies with a straight face, as he smiled and echoed Qiao Yu's words, "Beautiful, truly beautiful."
He then used the excuse of talking to Chi Yu to send Qiao Yu away. Once alone with Chi Yu, he circled around her, the more he looked, the more he felt that this outfit was ruining her natural grace.
Seeing that there was still enough time, Gu Qinnian put a finger to his lips, signaling for silence. "Don't be afraid, little Yu'er. Big brother will take you out for a makeover."
As he spoke, he reached out to take her hand.
Chi Yu dodged with a slight movement of her body, avoiding his grasp.
Gu Qinnian's hand hung awkwardly in midair before he withdrew it, scratching the back of his head, "Ah, right... I might have overstepped."
"I think this outfit is quite nice," Chi Yu interrupted, subtly letting him know she wasn't dodging because of his action alone.
