“Haha, Comrade Little Bird, you really know how to joke. Are you making fun of our revolutionary friendship…?”
“No, I’m being serious.” Zhu Niao rose onto her tiptoes, bringing her head close to Gou Yu’s chin, looking up with wide eyes. “Bro, I feel like you’re really interested in my body.”
This oppressive posture made Gou Yu not even dare to look down. This was the kind of distance where, if he did, things would get ambiguous—either they’d end up kissing or fighting.
What should he do?
It seemed his request was a bit too much, like he’d crossed a line.
But he didn’t regret it, because he really did want to see.
So what should he say next?
“Yeah, it’d be a lie to say I wasn’t interested.”
He admitted it straight out.
“You’re the only girl I’ve been close to since we were kids. Can’t you wear something nice for your bro to see?”
Gou Yu’s tone was even a bit aggressive. “You’re always wearing those long pants every day—just looking at them makes me feel like I’ll get erectile dysfunction.”
“No…” Zhu Niao waved her hands. “It’s not like I want to wear them! I know skirts are nice and comfy, but it’s so cold—if I don’t wear long pants, what am I supposed to wear?”
“That’s why I said earlier—wear pantyhose. There are warm ones.” Gou Yu even took the time to circle back to his main point.
“Aren’t those just stockings? Only chicks wear those!” Zhu Niao raised both hands above her head, making a big X. “I’m a grown man—I’d never try something only girls would wear.”
Gou Yu didn’t rush to correct Zhu Niao, but instead quietly retorted, “Pantyhose, pantyhose—aren’t they a kind of pants? Otherwise, why would they have a crotch? Have you ever seen socks with a crotch?”
“Huh?” Little Bird listened to Gou Yu’s explanation and couldn’t quite wrap her head around it. “Is that really true?”
“If it’s not, what else could it be?” Gou Yu continued to shamelessly bluff. “Let me ask you—have you ever seen socks that go all the way up to your waist?”
“No.” Little Bird’s eyes were starting to swirl.
“There you go.” Gou Yu pressed on, “Since you can accept wearing skirts, why can’t you accept pants?”
“Hiss… Uhh…” Zhu Niao was starting to hesitate.
Gou Yu wasn’t satisfied with just this; he pressed harder. “Think about it—how many girls have I known since I was a kid? It’s obvious to everyone. Now, finally, there’s you, someone who could show me the outfit I’ve always wanted to see, and you won’t even grant me that wish.”
With that, Gou Yu sighed. “Forget it, forget it, I crossed the line.”
Just as he turned to leave, Zhu Niao grabbed his hand.
“Hey, what line? There’s no such thing between us.” Zhu Niao said, “Fine, I’ll wear it.”
“Black or white?” Gou Yu spun back immediately, a cheeky grin plastered on his face again.
But this time Zhu Niao didn’t hit him, just blushed slightly and glared at him.
“I’ll take a look…” Her voice was so quiet that if Gou Yu wasn’t close, he wouldn’t have heard her at all. “I think I have some in my closet.”
“Alright!”
Gou Yu started cheering.
“Let’s make it clear first.” Zhu Niao stuck out her index finger, pointing at Gou Yu through the air. “At most, I’ll wear it for you to see at home. There’s no way I’m wearing it out.”
“That’s exactly what I want.”
“And you can only look, no photos.” Zhu Niao said again.
So Gou Yu turned away once more. “Oh, heaven, why are you so cruel to me!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll let you take a photo, okay?” Zhu Niao was still holding his hand. “But you can’t share it—only you can look at it.”
“Of course, bro’s business is trustworthy.” Gou Yu made an OK gesture.
“Don’t ever say your bro never showed you anything good again.” Zhu Niao pointed at Gou Yu’s nose.
“Come on, who are we to each other?”
Gou Yu grinned and slung his arm around Zhu Niao’s shoulders, pulling her close so they were pressed together.
“Then why were you staring at those girls earlier…” Zhu Niao mumbled.
“I was watching you the whole time, didn’t you notice?” Gou Yu’s arm squeezed a little, pinching Zhu Niao’s cheek.
“But when I wore a swimsuit for you before, you didn’t even look.”
“I explained that to you back then, and it’s the same now.” Gou Yu enjoyed the smoothness under his fingers. “It’s only satisfying when bro wants to see it. If I don’t want to, I won’t.”
“But if you genuinely want to show me from the heart, that’s a different matter.”
Hearing Gou Yu’s declaration of independence, Zhu Niao just felt that her best bro really did have some wisdom when it came to being a pervert.
“Do you really like pantyhose that much?” This was Zhu Niao’s final question.
“I do, but they’re not my favorite. My favorite is thigh-highs—the kind where the edge of the socks and the exposed skin under a short skirt creates that ‘absolute territory.’ That’s truly beautiful.” Gou Yu spoke with passionate conviction.
Surprisingly, Zhu Niao agreed: “I think so too. That’s even more suggestive than just taking the skirt off directly—it’s impossible to look away. No wonder you’re my bro; your taste is on point.”
“So when will you wear thigh-highs and a short skirt for me?” Gou Yu shot back immediately.
Zhu Niao’s eyes darted away again.
“I don’t have anything like that in my closet…”
“I can buy it.” There was unshakable resolve in Gou Yu’s voice.
“How much money do you even have? Can’t you spend it on something useful?”
“Because this is my only hobby.” Gou Yu sighed again.
Looking at her bro looking so dejected, Zhu Niao felt a little guilty.
She did have short skirts, and the goddess had prepared thigh-highs in the wardrobe earlier.
Anyway, Gou Yu wouldn’t share it.
If it’s just for her bro to see…
“No way!” Zhu Niao snapped back to her senses. “I’ve already promised you one thing. Don’t push your luck!”
She couldn’t be the one to cross the line and ruin their bro relationship.
Since she’d already agreed to Gou Yu’s request, she wasn’t planning to bother with that ‘love mission’ anymore. If she took the initiative to wear it for him now, wouldn’t that make her seem like she had ulterior motives?
“Lame.” Gou Yu frowned, his attempt to have it all unsuccessful.
“Lame.”
It was Xiao Yi’an, who had finished observing from the side, who chimed in now. He’d found that there was nothing he could learn from how these two interacted.
If he acted like Gou Yu, he’d be on the school forum and message boards the next day.
