Ivy handed the clothes to Lucas. "Go try these on and see if they fit."
Lucas headed into the fitting room, and Ivy waited on the couch, feeling content and buoyant.
The salesperson took the opportunity to talk to Ivy. "Your boyfriend is so handsome and obedient. I envy you!"
"He hasn't always been this obedient, but his temper has improved greatly compared to how he was in the past," Ivy said.
In the past, Lucas was her employer, and she was his servant. Though Lucas would throw temper tantrums occasionally, he would always end up listening to her so long as she stood her ground.
In general, Lucas was a reasonable person.
"You two have just graduated, right? You look so young!" the salesperson said.
"Yeah!"
"Would you like to check out a few outfits for yourself? We sell matching couple outfits!"
Ivy beamed. "Sure! Show me the couple outfits!"
The salesperson immediately led Ivy to where the matching outfits were. Lucas walked out of the fitting room, and Ivy immediately praised, "Wearing new clothes gives you a new spirit! This set looks great; buy it! Try this as well!"
Ivy handed Lucas the men's outfit from the couple's set.
"How long will your brother be staying?"
"I don't know! He didn't tell me anything. It was my sister-in-law who messaged me. I'm not saying you have to wear new clothes every day, but the clothes at this store are relatively inexpensive, so we can buy a few more," Ivy said.
Lucas did not want to go through the trouble, but he simply could not say no to Ivy's gentle and patient expression, so he took the clothes to the fitting room to change.
Ivy brought a few sets of clothes to the checkout counter half an hour later.
Since they had bought new clothes and shoes, it seemed reasonable to have a complete makeover.
"Sure! Your hair is a bit long. Although you look handsome like this, shorter hair will make you look more energetic," Ivy said, leading Lucas to a barbershop.
When Lucas returned home in the evening, Caspian was on his couch, eating instant noodles.
When he saw Lucas, his eyes widened.
"Wow! You look so handsome, I almost didn't recognize you!" Caspian put the instant noodles on the coffee table. "I have to say, Ivy is amazing! She made you look so dashing! When Hayden sees you, he'll at least have to give you some credit for looking this good!"
Lucas placed the shopping bags on the couch. "Have you been here all day?"
"Yep! I was worried you wouldn't listen to me, but now I'm relieved! I'll leave soon. By the way, when is your brother-in-law coming?"
