[Jiang Xiao]: Xi’er, I’ll be out soon!
Seeing Jiang Xiao’s message, Song Qiuyu felt a jumble of emotions in her heart.
If Mom found out that her only son not only turned into a girl, but was also about to go to an amusement park with a boy, what would her reaction be?
She didn’t dare to imagine it. She really hoped she’d never see Mom’s reaction in her whole life.
The only thing she could be thankful for was that it wasn’t just the two of them on a date—Jiang Xiao’s younger brother and little sister were tagging along.
And this twisted romance would only last for a week.
A week—what a long stretch.
She stared at the message, dazed for a while, then finally replied with an “Okay.”
Right after that, she slipped back into the gloom she’d felt before seeing the message. Lowering her little head, she sighed.
If only she’d urged Mom to have another younger brother or little sister back in kindergarten!
Then she wouldn’t have had to spend the New Year alone.
But thinking about it, if she really did have a younger brother or little sister, with both Dad and Mom never home these days, wouldn’t she have to look after another little human all by herself since elementary school, besides taking care of Jiang Xiao?
Just thinking about it felt exhausting.
The more she thought, the less energy she had.
She almost wished she could become a wild blade of grass growing in a crack in the wall, hugging her knees, leaning against the wall, crouching there for a while.
She glanced at her phone screen, suddenly recalling last night’s events.
Gritting her teeth, she tried to switch accounts.
But under the comment where she’d “come back from the dead,” Jiang Xiao hadn’t replied at all.
Even so, she could more or less imagine Jiang Xiao’s reaction when he saw the message, and couldn’t help but tug a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.
Now it was Jiang Xiao’s turn to toy with Shen Xi.
As her mood sank lower and lower, she unconsciously looked toward the convenience store, suddenly craving some candy.
“Xi’er!”
Jiang Xiao suddenly appeared behind her.
Song Qiuyu jumped.
She instinctively switched accounts, hurriedly stuffed her phone into her pocket, and felt her heart pounding wildly.
Her mind and body couldn’t keep up—she just couldn’t react in time.
“Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?”
Her mind blanked out as she turned around, mumbling a few sounds in confusion.
She saw Jiang Xiao jogging over, a bright, handsome smile lighting up his face.
Most importantly, his gaze never left her.
The chilly surroundings seemed to vanish in that instant.
The moment their eyes met, her ears were filled with nothing but his voice.
Her whole body felt a bit warmer. Especially her ears.
It was as if she’d been imprisoned in place by his burning gaze.
“Here, I brought you a candy on the way down!”
Staring at Jiang Xiao’s open palm, Song Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, her nose tingling with emotion.
What a coincidence.
She put on a cutesy tone, pretending to act spoiled: “Feed me.”
Jiang Xiao was taken aback.
Seeing the expression on her face, he seemed to sense something.
He clenched the hand holding the candy, then quietly let out a breath of relief—good thing he’d brought some candy down.
With his other hand, he rubbed her fluffy hair, looking down at her, gentle and resolute as he said, “As you command, my girlfriend!”
Song Qiuyu fell silent, and suddenly didn’t feel like having Jiang Xiao feed her anymore.
This kind of Jiang Xiao could be summed up in one phrase: give him a little sunshine, and he’ll shine. He just got so carried away by the moment.
With a dazzling smile, Jiang Xiao unwrapped the candy.
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu didn’t fuss with him.
Blushing slightly, she accepted the treat, and as she ate the candy, she deliberately nipped his fingertip.
“That was an accident~”
“Mm, I know.”
After that, the two walked straight ahead, soon arriving at a women’s clothing store.
It was still early, and they were the first customers of the day.
“By the way, shouldn’t we buy some breast pads or something? That way we can maximize the difference?”
Jiang Xiao said as he picked through the clothes.
“No need.”
Song Qiuyu shook her head.
“True, I guess there are plenty of girls who are flat-chested, too.” Jiang Xiao nodded.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Song Qiuyu bit her lip.
“Then what do you mean?”
Jiang Xiao was momentarily confused.
“I…”
Song Qiuyu was a little speechless, not knowing how to explain.
She clenched her hands, glanced at the store clerk, sighed, tiptoed, and brought her lips close to Jiang Xiao’s ear.
Fighting her embarrassment, she whispered, “I have them.” Jiang Xiao was stunned again.
For a brief moment, he didn’t register exactly what she meant by “I have them.”
“I said I have a chest!”
Of course, Song Qiuyu noticed Jiang Xiao didn’t get it and grew anxious, lowering her voice as much as she could, gritting her teeth, and almost snapping.
“Ah.”
Jiang Xiao’s whole face flushed red in an instant.
His girlfriend whispering that in his ear was enough to make him blush, but what really got him was remembering the bag she’d given him by mistake on Christmas.
She really did have them.
He shouldn’t, but sorry, he couldn’t control his brain—he started picturing that scene with the little white set.
Once she put on what was in that bag, it really was—
Too steamy.
And, it was a full set. By chance, he’d seen underneath, too…
This…
Seeing Jiang Xiao react so strongly, Song Qiuyu’s embarrassment intensified.
Flustered, she jabbed him with her elbow.
After being jabbed twice, Jiang Xiao finally snapped out of his daydream—what a rare slip!
He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. “Ahem!”
“Were you just thinking something dirty?”
Song Qiuyu eyed Jiang Xiao suspiciously, even more flustered.
Of course, even if she didn’t ask, she knew exactly what Jiang Xiao was thinking. Any normal guy would imagine it.
Besides, Jiang Xiao had even helped bathe her before—he must’ve seen everything he shouldn’t have seen.
Thinking of that, she wished she could dig a hole and crawl in right then and there.
In Jiang Xiao’s eyes now, she probably was no different from running around naked.
What a headache.
“If I said yes.”
Jiang Xiao opened his eyes, and immediately saw Song Qiuyu’s face already flushed red, lips pressed tightly together.
Clearly angry, but there was nothing she could do about him.
Both of them were like that.
They’d get a little mad at each other over certain things, but neither could do anything about the other.
“Then try to control yourself a little.”
Song Qiuyu pouted, only saying that.
“Mm.”
Jiang Xiao nodded, his gaze moving from her shy, angry face to a beautiful, form-fitting sweater.
He walked over to it.
“Xi’er, why don’t you try this one?”
Hearing that, Song Qiuyu blinked and looked up.
The moment she saw the sweater, she couldn’t help but admire Jiang Xiao’s sense of style. Her eyes lit up at once.
No wonder he always managed to dress himself so handsomely.
She nodded, taking the sweater from him.
“This sweater is the latest style! It’s been selling really well these past couple days. Your boyfriend has great taste!” The young store clerk shot them an envious look and sighed in admiration.
Those familiar words triggered some memories for Song Qiuyu, making her head buzz and her whole body flush with heat.
Eager to escape, she bit her lip and, without saying a word, hurried straight into the changing room.
“Hahaha, handsome guy, your girlfriend is so cute!” The clerk’s playful teasing continued, making her even more embarrassed.
Jiang Xiao seemed to laugh lightly too, but didn’t say much.
Once the door was closed, Song Qiuyu patted her chest and took a few deep breaths.
First, she took off the backpack from her shoulders, then pulled out the set of White Women’s Underwear she’d prepared from inside.
Staring at the set, her face gradually turned crimson.
