Chapter 97 - A Guide to Feeding Evil Ghosts 96 Part 1

The man had an excellent physique, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. He was like a living mannequin from a clothing store, even taller than those models by a bit.

He Yan first picked out suits for him.

In any case, as a civil servant in the underworld, one must have a few decent suits in the wardrobe for work.

He Yan enthusiastically selected various colors and styles of suits for the man, and finally found that although the man could pull off almost all types of suits, the most suitable one was still a plain, slim-fit black suit without any fancy elements.

After the man changed into the suit in the fitting room, He Yan picked out a silver-gray tie from a nearby tie rack. He beckoned the man over, and when the man obediently leaned down, He Yan reached out and tied the tie around his collar.

As a high-ranking military officer, he had attended a few formal banquets in his previous world, and in his past lives, he had also helped his lovers with different identities tie their ties. Therefore, his tie-tying movements were very skilled, completely extinguishing the thoughts of the shopping assistant who was originally hesitating whether to come over and help.

Due to their posture, their faces were very close. Gazing at the man's handsome face without much expression, He Yan suddenly asked softly, "You don't like wearing ties?"

Although the man had been wearing a formal suit since meeting He Yan, it was always open at the collar. He Yan had never seen him properly wearing a tie.

The man's jet-black eyes moved slightly, and his two raven-like eyelashes also fluttered a little. He answered in a low voice, "I like it when you tie it for me."

The corners of He Yan's mouth curved up slightly, and his hands stopped moving. He patted the man's chest as a reward and said, "Stand up and let me take a look."

The man obediently straightened his body.

A suit is the most demanding type of clothing for a man's figure. Once a man puts on a slim-fit suit, even the slightest flaw in his figure will be magnified many times in the eyes of others. But correspondingly, a man wearing a suit will also automatically carry a layer of testosterone booster. If there are no discernible flaws, his masculine charm will be amplified many times.

That simple black suit neatly outlined the man's waist and abdomen, concealing the tight and smooth muscle lines underneath. His straight, long legs were encased in stiff suit pants. Paired with his sharp and chiseled features, he appeared cold and ascetic just standing there without saying a word, making people feel awe while involuntarily giving rise to a desire to conquer him, to make this seemingly unattainable person show a different expression for oneself.

Of course, these were all superficial. Only He Yan, who had flipped through countless "case files" with him late at night, knew that this man's true nature beneath his skin had nothing to do with the words "cold" or "ascetic".

After buying the suit, He Yan dragged the man to the casual wear section and picked out a few more everyday outfits.

At first, because of the man's mature appearance, He Yan selected more steady and conservative casual wear for him, which also looked very good on him. But during this process, the man suddenly spoke up, wanting to try on a more youthful style of clothing.

He Yan stared at a set of khaki and white garments for three seconds, and with his good memory, recognized that it was exactly the same from head to toe as one of the outfits he had just asked the shopping assistant to pack up.

"..." He Yan felt conflicted as he nodded in agreement. He had just generously offered to pay for his boyfriend's clothes, and now his boyfriend was specifically asking to try on an outfit. He certainly had no grounds to object.

That outfit was too quirky in style, clearly intended for a student demographic, and completely at odds with the man's aura. So when the man walked into the fitting room with a cold expression and the clothes in hand, He Yan originally had no expectations.

But when the man pushed open the door of the fitting room, He Yan decisively obliterated all his previous concerns.

To his surprise, the man wearing this lively, youthful style didn't seem too incongruous. In an instant, he went from a well-dressed successful professional to a cool and handsome young master. Although his imposing manner was slightly weaker than before, it made it easier to focus attention on that devastatingly handsome face.

It's just that something was a little off...

He Yan scanned the man up and down a few times, his gaze finally stopping thoughtfully on his head.

Then he stepped forward, inserted his hand into the man's hair, and messed up all those neatly combed strands.

Although Xuan Qi didn't understand, he still stood there obediently, even cooperatively lowering his head, allowing the youth in front of him to fiddle with his hair mischievously.

After He Yan mercilessly destroyed his neat hairstyle, he used his five fingers to loosely gather the hair, making it look not too messy.

Having done all this, he took a step back and once again looked the man over from head to toe, the corners of his mouth curving into a satisfied arc, his tone also carrying a hint of pride.

"Take a look."

When the man had just emerged from the fitting room, although he was stunning, there was still a slight incongruity between his neat hairstyle and the outfit he was wearing. But after He Yan messed up his hair, that bit of incongruity completely disappeared.

The man's ink-black hair was a bit longer than He Yan's freshly trimmed hair, with bangs covering his eyebrows. After being tousled, many strands fell messily over his brows and cheeks, with the ends loosely hanging behind his ears, not appearing too unkempt.

His skin was originally fair, and contrasted with the whitening khaki-colored clothes he wore, it appeared even more excessively pale. Paired with a slightly disheveled hairstyle, he looked like a young and promising young master from some family out to gain experience, the kind that would make a young girl's heart beat uncontrollably faster with just one glance.

Although the shopping assistant to the side had long since outgrown being a young girl, she still couldn't help staring in a daze, only moving her gaze away in a fluster under the youth's warning glance.

The man obediently turned his head and saw his reflection in the mirror. He commented, "It looks good."

Actually, he previously didn't pay much attention to his outward appearance, as long as it wasn't disrespectful. The suit he usually wore all the time was also conjured from yin energy based on the current common suit styles. And now, the only thought in his mind was... as long as the youth likes it, it's the most suitable.

He Yan was in high spirits and picked out many more youthful-looking clothes and pants for the man, even more excessively than when the man had selected clothes for him earlier. In the end, he only stopped after choosing over thirty pieces including suits and casual wear.

Xuan Qi wanted to imitate what He Yan had just done and remove some of them, but He Yan was much more assertive than him. With a slight smile, he said: "I still need to grow in the next few years, so buying too many would be a waste if I can't wear them. You're already fully grown, so no matter how many you buy, you'll be able to wear them all. Understand?"

It was reasonable and convincing.

Xuan Qi opened his mouth, but found that facing the youth's sharp gaze, he had no confidence to refute at all. He could only silently let the youth drag him to the counter to pay.

Unlike casual clothes, suits were very expensive. Even though there were only five or six suits among the thirty-some pieces of clothing, the final total price was three to four times more expensive than the total of the clothes the man had bought for He Yan.

Seeing the price, the man frowned slightly. He originally wanted to rush to pay, but thinking of the youth's forceful threat earlier, he silently suppressed this urge.

With their family's youth's domineering personality, if he dared to go back on his word after agreeing, the youth would definitely explode in anger.

If because of this, he couldn't watch the "case files" together with the youth at night, it would be too much of a loss.

He Yan swiped the card without hesitation. Seeing the remaining few hundred thousand in savings suddenly reduced by more than half, he didn't show the slightest heartache on his face.

Money could always be earned again once it was gone, but the feeling of personally dressing up his partner to look handsome was really satisfying to a man's possessiveness.

There were over fifty pieces of clothing in total. It obviously wasn't very realistic to carry them back just by hand with only two people. Even if they had driven here, stuffing so many clothes in the car would be inconvenient.

After paying, the sales girl, thinking of the commission she could get, smiled even more sweetly. Seeing the large pile of packaged clothes, she very considerately expressed that they could send someone to deliver them to their home for free.

Although for the two of them who were not in the ranks of normal people, there would definitely be a way to transport these clothes back, since someone was willing to do it for them, they had no reason to refuse.

So He Yan agreed to this proposal without hesitation. On the form the sales girl handed over, he wrote down his cell phone number and the address of that small rental apartment, estimating the time and adding a note to have them delivered at 6pm.

After seeing the address, a hint of confusion appeared on the sales girl's face. She cautiously confirmed with He Yan again: "Are you sure this is the correct address?"

If she remembered correctly, the address the youth wrote down was a well-known rental area, gathering a large number of out-of-towners who came to this city to make a hard living. The environment was very poor. Someone who could buy so many expensive clothes without batting an eye actually lived in that kind of place?

He Yan's expression was calm: "I'm sure."

Since the customer had said so, the sales girl could only suppress her doubts. With a smile on her face, she expressed that she would definitely deliver the clothes on time.

After leaving the clothing store, the two of them went to buy a laptop and cell phone. There wasn't much to fuss about with these. He Yan directly chose the ones with the best specifications according to the research he had done before. After all, he still needed to rely on the computer to make money now. The better the specifications, the more easily he could get things done.

Perhaps still brooding over the large sum of money the youth had spent on buying him clothes earlier, this time Xuan Qi didn't give him a chance to speak. After the youth had selected the models and checked the machines to ensure there were no issues, he directly rushed to hand the credit card to the service personnel before the youth could.

He Yan glanced at him lightly from the side. Their gazes briefly met, but he didn't express any opinions.

The man dutifully took out He Yan's old cell phone card and installed it into the brand new phone. He pocketed He Yan's old phone, picked up the computer bag in one hand, and prepared to go home.

Because they had indulged in changing each other's clothes at the clothing store earlier, even though the two of them weren't slow, by the time they finished buying the phone and computer, the clock had already passed 4pm. It was time to go home.

They arrived home at 5:30pm. He Yan instructed the man to put away the things, then took his pajamas and went to take a shower.

Although with the accompaniment of the man who was a human air conditioner, He Yan hadn't sweated much all day, after running around outside for so long, summer clothes were thin and inevitably still picked up some dust. He had a bit of a cleanliness obsession and always needed to take a shower after returning from outside to feel comfortable.

Before entering the bathroom, he turned to the man who was obediently sitting on the edge of the bed, who for some reason had shining eyes, and said, "Wait outside like a good boy."

The light in the man's eyes visibly dimmed.

He Yan chuckled and mercilessly closed the bathroom door.

The man sat on the edge of the bed and slowly took off his suit jacket, draping it over the back of a nearby chair. Then, after some thought, he unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, revealing his chiseled collarbones and fair, muscular chest, ensuring the youth would see it as soon as he came out.

Seeing the bathroom, he couldn't help but think of that night, the scene of a wisp of his divided self sneaking into the bathroom with his resentful energy body to "bathe together" with the youth. His Adam's apple couldn't help but bob a couple times.

Actually, doing it with a human form was far less comfortable than doing it with his resentful energy body, but his true body was really too big and the human body was too fragile. Even when using a human form, he had to restrain his movements as much as possible to avoid breaking the youth.

If he really used his resentful energy body to join with the youth, he wasn't confident he could remain lucid under the excessive stimulation. If in his excitement he did something irreversible, it would be too late for regrets...

Thinking of this, listening to the pitter-patter of water coming from the bathroom, the man's expression unknowingly sank, until He Yan's cell phone suddenly rang on the table, startling him out of his contemplation.

"Xuan Qi," the youth's voice calling his name passed through the bathroom door that didn't have very good sound insulation. It had an inexplicable hoarseness: "It should be the clothes delivery. Answer it for me."

"Okay."

The man picked up that brand new cell phone from the table. With a swipe of his thumb, a young man's voice sounded: "Hello, is this Mr. Han Ziyu?"

The man indifferently grunted in affirmation.

The young man's voice continued: "The clothes you ordered at our store today have been delivered to you. May I ask if it's convenient for you to open the door now?"

Holding the phone, he grunted again and got up from the bed. He walked to the door with his hand on the handle, but suddenly remembered something. He buttoned up his previously unbuttoned shirt before opening the door a crack.

Outside in the narrow hallway stood two young men, their arms laden with clothing bags. One of them held a phone, struggling to hold it to his ear. Seeing him come out, the man ended the call with a relieved expression and politely smiled, "Hello, the shopping list and clothes are all here. Please check if anything is missing."

With a quick glance, the man knew nothing was missing and directly took the clothing bags.
