“Please, Mother…”
These words were spoken through gritted teeth, but Qi had no choice.
She felt as if she were naked in the Coffee Shop, and she didn’t care about anything else except leaving as quickly as possible.
Finally hearing what she wanted, Luo Qing was very satisfied.
She raised her right hand and lightly snapped her fingers, and the world seemed to be muted at that moment.
Silence fell over the surroundings, prompting Qi to slowly open her eyes.
She found that the customers in the shop, the pedestrians outside, and even the fluttering butterflies had all stopped moving.
Everything in the world seemed to have frozen, all operations halted.
Except for her and Luo Qing, who walked over to her side.
“Now, no one will notice you.”
Luo Qing bent down slightly, her arms supporting Qi’s lower back and legs, picking her up in a princess carry.
The contact between her legs and Luo Qing’s fingers made the black-haired girl tremble violently.
She couldn’t help but let out a soft moan, and her already ashamed cheeks grew even redder.
Qi suppressed the urge to push Luo Qing away and instead wrapped her arms around her neck.
Now, Qi only wanted to leave this place quickly, fearing that Luo Qing would undo the Time Freeze.
Her legs had not only become private parts in her perception, but their sensitivity had also increased significantly.
Even the slight friction from fingertips during movement made her body tremble uncontrollably.
The confusion between her physiological perception and common sense made Qi’s brain feel like it was turning into mush.
At this moment, she could no longer tell whether she was wearing clothes or not, nor could she figure out which part of her body Luo Qing had placed her hands on.
She felt that everything she was experiencing must be a nightmare.
She couldn’t think at all; her entire being was on the verge of breaking.
There was a restroom inside the Coffee Shop.
Although it was not far away, Qi felt as if she had been walking for an entire day.
It wasn’t until she was brought into a stall in the restroom and sat down on the toilet, with no one else around besides Luo Qing, that the shame and discomfort throughout her body finally eased a bit.
“Fortunately, I brought this today. Mother is quite thoughtful, isn’t she?”
Luo Qing took out a brand-new pair of White Silk Stockings and grabbed Qi’s feet to help her put them on slowly.
It wasn’t until her legs were covered by the White Silk Stockings that Qi’s feeling of being unclothed gradually disappeared.
Gazing at her legs, Qi’s consciousness was still somewhat dazed.
These things on her legs, which she had never considered wearing before, were now equivalent to essential intimate garments like underwear in her mind.
This change on a conscious level filled her with deep fear.
On the surface, nothing had changed, yet everything was different from before.
Even though she told herself countless times in her heart that it didn’t matter, that her legs were still the same legs, that it was fine even if they were exposed to the air or seen by others, and that it was just a deviation in her psychological perception, it was all in vain.
She simply couldn’t ignore it.
‘It’s like trying to convince myself that since no one else wears underwear, I don’t have to either starting today — how could that possibly be done!’
And the culprit behind all this was standing right in front of her with a beaming smile.
‘Why do I have to go through this? What right does she have to touch me however she pleases? This is too much, far too much…’
“I felt before that your legs looked empty, so they needed to be paired with something… Oh, why are you headbutting me?”
Luo Qing raised her hand to block Qi’s headbutt.
She lifted the black-haired girl’s head, only to find that her gaze was fierce, yet her beautiful eyes were brimming with tears.
“Let go of me!”
Like a kitten with its fur standing on end, Qi forcefully pushed the person in front of her away and ran out of the restroom.
Watching the direction she left, Luo Qing slowly stood up.
“I accidentally made her cry.”
The pedestrians outside had resumed their movements at some unknown point, but Qi no longer cared.
Feelings of sadness and unease enveloped her, leaving her no room to think about anything.
Qi wiped away her tears, thinking only of running faster to leave this place and hide in the Dormitory.
Clang —
The Dormitory door was quickly pushed open and then closed, making a loud noise.
Su Xiaoqie turned her head upon hearing the sound.
She was just about to greet the little one who had returned when she saw the other girl quickly scramble onto her bed and pull the curtains shut, giving her no chance to speak.
Her roommate scratched her head.
She could sense that Qi’s mood was a bit off today.
After all, the girl was a bit of a neat freak; normally, she would never go to bed after coming back from outside without washing up first.
After some thought, Su Xiaoqie decided not to disturb her and give Qi some space.
Curled up in the corner, Qi hugged her legs.
Her emotions were still quite low.
Because she had just cried, the rims of her eyes were still a bit red.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoqie hadn’t come over to check on her, otherwise she definitely wouldn’t have been able to hide it.
Qi didn’t want to show her fragile side to anyone else, but this time she really had reached her breaking point.
From her first contact with the person claiming to be a God until now, it was only a moment ago that the woman had truly demonstrated her power.
To that person, everything in the world, including her, was like a toy in her hands, something that could be interfered with and modified at any time.
Qi curled her body tighter.
She had always viewed Luo Qing too simply before.
Not until this moment did she realize what kind of person had targeted her.
‘Saying she treats me like a daughter, but in reality, I’m just a plaything she can tease at will, right? Seeing my panicked state must make her very happy!’
Qi was very angry, but thinking about how she couldn’t do anything about it, she felt very sad.
It seemed she had been like this since she was a child, never truly in control of her own destiny, always living under the control of others.
It had always been like this…
After being sad by herself for quite a while, the black-haired girl finally snapped out of her low mood.
She could only rely on herself, so she had to become strong.
Slowly crawling to the head of the bed, Qi picked up her phone.
Upon opening it, she found that a Strange App had appeared on her home screen.
Just by looking at the style, she quickly guessed there was an eighty percent chance it was related to Luo Qing.
Feeling slightly irritated, Qi long-pressed the app to delete it, but the thing seemed to be classified as a system app and could not be removed.
Having no choice, she could only tap it open to see what it actually was.
The internal style was a bit like a simple mini-game.
The content was very monotonous; besides a red button, everything else was blank.
Qi tried pressing it a few times, but there was no response.
There was a small icon in the top-right corner.
She tapped it open, and inside was something like an unlocked encyclopedia.
[Leg Shame Syndrome: You will perceive your own legs as private parts, but — the sensitivity of your legs will increase.]
‘What kind of “but” is that? Aren’t these all negative effects!’
The black-haired girl poked the screen huffily.
Was creating something like this specifically to humiliate her?
‘Could it be that all future punishment effects will be recorded by this thing?’
The more Qi thought about it, the angrier she became.
After exiting, she tried to delete it a few more times, eventually just ignoring it.
