Chapter 82 Is this a direct approach?

I replied to some company emails and sent the song I wrote to Song Ming. That completes my work for today!

Shishi ran into her walk-in closet, looking around but not knowing what to wear.

She didn't buy many clothes after transmigrating. Her walk-in closet mostly contained clothes left behind by the original owner. Her style was overly ladylike; not ugly, just something she didn't particularly like. She preferred brightly colored clothes. Only bright colors gave her a feeling that life wasn't so gloomy anymore.

It seems that every woman's wardrobe is always missing one more piece of clothing.

This statement is a profound truth.

Aunt Zhang saw Shi Shi go into the dressing room and not pick out anything to wear for a long time, so she went in.

What occasion are you going to wear?

Shishi thought for a moment and said, "I need to pick up a friend from get off work first, and then have dinner with him."

Aunt Zhang had met most of Shishi's friends before. But the person she mentioned was clearly someone she didn't know before.

Could it be a date?

Since you're going to someone's workplace, you might run into their colleagues. This is a good time to make a good impression!

It's early autumn, and the weather is already a bit chilly. Aunt Zhang rummaged through the wardrobe and finally found a suitable outfit.

It was a burgundy knitted dress, just above the knee, with a delicate texture that was simple yet elegant. The neckline was a refined square design, perfectly showcasing Shi Shi's fair collarbone. The slightly gathered cuffs added a touch of playfulness.

Aunt Zhang handed the clothes to Shishi and said with a smile, "How about this one? It's both warm and stylish. It'll definitely make a good impression when you go out."

Shishi's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected that the original owner's wardrobe contained clothes that matched her aesthetic so well.

She took the clothes and changed into them, and soon came out wearing a dress.

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up immediately. "Oh my, this suits you perfectly! You look absolutely stunning in this dress! Just like a modern woman from back in the day!"

Shishi twirled in front of the mirror; the burgundy color made her skin appear even fairer, giving her a gentle and elegant look. She paired it with black leather shoes and a small black handbag, instantly elevating her style. Shishi nodded in satisfaction.

Aunt Zhang suddenly spoke up: "It's too plain! Too much jewelry is distracting, but you can't go without any at all! Didn't your aunt buy you a pearl set? Just wear the necklace!"

The battleground between the two shifted from the dressing room to the jewelry section.

The original homeowner, Lin Sui, must have had a lot of jewelry. The area where she kept her jewelry was the same size as the master bedroom's walk-in closet.

Neither the original owner nor she particularly liked jewelry. Shishi hadn't bought a single piece since transmigrating. Most of the jewelry the original owner owned was a gift from her ex-husband, and she didn't plan to wear it anymore. This narrowed down their choices considerably. The two looked around. Sure enough, the pearl pendant Aunt Zhang had mentioned was the most suitable.

Finally, Aunt Zhang curled her hair into French-style big waves. That completed her makeover.

Just then, Shishi's phone rang.

Sure enough, it was a message from Fu Yingzhou. He sent me his work address with coordinates, followed by the sentence: "I get off work at five."

When Shi Shi clicked on it, she saw several words written there: "Kyoto Veterans Affairs Bureau".

Seeing that it was almost time, Shishi replied "I understand" and drove off.

This was during Kyoto's rush hour, but luckily Shishi left early and wasn't late.

Seeing that she was about 100 or 200 meters away from her destination, she found a parking space and sent him a message.

—I'm waiting for you here.

Upon receiving the message, Fu Yingzhou paused. Although he was mentally prepared and knew that Shishi most likely wouldn't come to his workplace to find him, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

—Okay. Just a moment.

Did Shishi understand what he meant? Of course she did.

She has no intention of never dating; humans are social animals, and she's no exception. All her current social relationships are "inherited." If a relationship developed after she came into the picture, she'd be perfectly happy with that.

She was willing to try getting to know Fu Yingzhou for two reasons. First, because he didn't interact with anyone else in her life, she could have a simple relationship. Second, she was attracted to good-looking men; if she could date the most handsome one, why would she settle for second best?

As for his age? That wasn't a problem for her at all!

Perhaps due to her complicated past experiences before transmigrating, she lacked the patience to indulge in romantic escapades with boys. It was unrealistic to only admire their youthful energy and reject their naiveté and impulsiveness.

Everything has two sides. Fu Yingzhou is indeed not young, but fortunately, he doesn't have a fatherly air about him. He's an older man with a sense of proportion, unlike younger men who can't find their place or lose their boundaries. He's considerate of himself but not clingy.

Not being clingy is a really important point.

She knows she can't be like other couples in love, wanting to be together 24/7. Therefore, a busy boyfriend who isn't love-struck is the best option.

With a click, the car door opened. Fu Yingzhou sat in the passenger seat. His eyes lit up when he looked at Shishi.

"You look beautiful today. How about I drive? With such a beautiful female driver, I'm afraid all the men in China would be jealous of me."

Am I not beautiful usually?

Fu Yingzhou pretended to be deep in thought: "At most, she was the most beautiful woman in China."

"And today?"

"I almost didn't recognize you today. I thought you were some fairy maiden who had descended to earth to undergo tribulation!"

Shishi was amused by him: "You're exaggerating too much, aren't you? Going down to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation? I never expected you to watch fantasy dramas."

Fu Yingzhou innocently spread his hands: "Few people believe the truth. It was that kid Jizhou who saw it. If you ask me, the fairies in there aren't as pretty as you."

"Stop, stop, that's enough. If you keep praising me, I'll think you're planning to rip me off tonight."

"Would you fall for their trap?"

The car drove smoothly, and the two people inside chatted happily.

"That's hard to say, after all, your face looks too sincere when you look at people."

"So, will using my feminine wiles work on you?"

Shi Shi: ...

"Be careful what you say, it would be troublesome if there was a traffic accident." She appeared calm, but her palms, gripping the steering wheel, were already slightly sweaty.

"I'm serious. Look at me, I'm good-looking, and I'm quite considerate to you, right? I have no criminal record, and my company arranged a physical examination for me. The results came out today. All my health indicators are very good."

"Aren't you really going to give it a try?"

"Um...you look perfectly healthy. No need to try."

Wait, what outrageous things did she say?!

Try what? You're so stubborn! You can speak your mind too!

Fu Yingzhou gave her a meaningful look: "You mean try that? If you want, it's not impossible."

So, a world of pornography has been achieved with only me as the protagonist?
