What on earth does this sentence mean? Why would the divine being say such a thing at a time like this?
Xia Mengxi truly wanted to ponder this sudden barrage of questions, but the moment she delved deeper, an intense pain would surge through her head.
Unable to bear the headache, she had no choice but to temporarily set these questions aside. After calming down, she noticed the hourglass for the multiple-choice question was nearly out of sand, so she decided to make her selection based on her earlier judgment.
After all, even though she had a rough idea of what the silver butterfly hairclip might be, the divine being’s behavior was just too bizarre, making her hesitant to choose option A.
“But… sitting in just my underwear in a seiza pose while acting spoiled-how utterly embarrassing!”
Sigh… She really didn’t want to do it, but she truly didn’t dare defy the divine being.
And so, door.
“Ahh!!”
Xia Mengxi took off her uniform, adjusted her sitting position on the floor, and then let out a scream toward the changing room
Because the store had few customers and was quiet, her scream stood out all the more. A nearby shop assistant immediately rushed over.
However, before the assistant could ask what had happened in Xia Mengxi’s changing room, a young girl cut in front of her and anxiously knocked on the door, calling out, “Xiao Xi! What happened?”
“N-nothing! I just… fell while taking off: my clothes…”
Fell… while taking off clothes? Was this customer a bit of a klutz?
The shop assistant standing nearby was utterly stunned, but professionalism kept her from showing it on her face.
“Miss, do you need any help?”
“Thank you, but no need. Sorry for the trouble.”
The assistant said nothing more and returned to her post.
Meanwhile, Lin Xue’er, still outside the changing room, knocked again, unable to shake her worry.
“Xiao Xi, can I come in?”
“Huh? Sure…”
With permission granted, Lin Xue’er reached for the doorknob. But when the door swung open, the sight inside left her frozen in place.
Inside the changing room, the girl was clad only in a white lace bra, her flawless, delicate skin half-hidden beneath cascading waist-length black hair. Her lower half, clad in white tights, was curled up on the floor in an adorable pose.
The sheer impact of this scene made Lin Xue’er’s heart race and her breathing grow ragged.
Seeing Lin Xue’er’s reaction, Xia Mengxi tilted her head innocently and asked, “What’s wrong, Xue’er?”
“X-Xiao Xi… you! How could you be so careless… Where did you fall? Does it hurt? Should we go to the hospital?”
Snapping back to her senses, Lin Xue’er quickly shook her head, shut the changing room door, and hurried to Xia Mengxi’s side.
Xia Mengxi, meanwhile, put on a pitiful expression, gazing at Lin Xue’er with pleading eyes as she stretched out her hands. “It hurts! It really hurts, Xue’er! So… could you help me change? Maybe then it won’t hurt as much.”
Lin Xue’er blinked, momentarily stunned, before realizing Xia Mengxi was acting spoiled.
“Xiao Xi, you… I don’t even know what to say. But… as long as you’re okay.”
“Hehe~ I’m not some fragile pottery that’ll break if dropped. I won’t get hurt that easily.”
While being carried, Xia Mengxi took the opportunity to plant another kiss on Lin Xue’er’s cheek. The change in Lin Xue’er’s expression made it clear she was completely charmed by this gesture.
After changing into the white dress, Xia Mengxi swayed from side to side in front of Lin Xue’er, showing off her new outfit.
“How do I look? Pretty?”
“Very pretty. This dress suits your temperament perfectly. Oh, I just spotted a few more sets I liked. Wait here for me, I’ll go get them.”
“Okay… Huh?”
More changes? Didn’t we just try one?
Watching Lin Xue’er’s retreating figure, Xia Mengxi realized she was being treated like a dress-up doll. But she didn’t refuse, seeing this as a chance to make up for previously deceiving her, so she decided to fully cooperate with Lin Xue’er.
Soon enough, she regretted it.
“Hey, Xiao Xi, this set looks amazing on you!”
“Xiao Xi, how about this one? You look just like a wealthy young lady.”
“Wow…! I knew your face was cute, but I never imagined you’d look this good in Lolita fashion! I must find more Lolita outfits for you to try.”
Good grief! How many outfits have we gone through already? Even without mov much, she was exhausted!
Xia Mengxi was struggling to keep up with Lin Xue’er’s enthusiasm but couldn’t show any weakness, so she gritted her teeth and persevered. Fortunately, though the clothing store was large, its selection wasn’t extensive. Lin Xue’er returned quickly after going out to find more clothes.
“What a shame, this store only had that one Lolita item. But a staff member told me there’s a Lolita specialty shop in this mall. How about we rest a bit before heading there, okay Xiao Xi?”
“…Mmm, sure…”
Noticing Xia Mengxi’s hesitation, Lin Xue’er’s tone turned slightly dejected.
“Xiao Xi, don’t you like Lolita? But I think it suits
you so well…”
Xia Mengxi quickly shook her head, explaining to Lin Xue’er: “No, no! I like it too!”
Lin Xue’er seemed to realize something and looked at Xia Mengxi apologetically.
“Sorry, Xiao Xi. I got so caught up in dressing you up that I forgot you shouldn’t be active for too long. Let’s find somewhere to eat and then head back.”
“It’s okay, Xue’er. I’d actually like to visit that specialty shop you mentioned to see more beautiful clothes.”
“But…”
“Don’t worry, Xue’er! If we rest after every few outfit changes, it’ll be fine!”
With Xia Mengxi insisting like this, Lin Xue’er naturally couldn’t refuse.
Thus, after Lin Xue’er shocked Xia Mengxi by paying for all the outfits she’d tried with a single card swipe, they left the clothing store and settled into a dessert shop to rest.
“Xiao Xi, which one do you want?”
“Mmm… this one, please.”
After choosing their desserts, the server soon brought over their orders.
Looking at the cake on the table, Lin Xue’er hesitated for a moment before saying to Xia Mengxi, “Xiao Xi… can I feed you?”
“Huh? Well… I guess that’s fine…”
Having long grown accustomed to being fed by Lin Xue’er, Xia Mengxi actually felt a bit unaccustomed after returning to normal this week. So when Lin Xue’er made the request, she couldn’t help but soften and nod in agreement.
“Really? Hehe, come on, Xiao Xi, say ‘ah~””
“Ah~”
Seeing Lin Xue’er’s delighted smile, Xia Mengxi couldn’t help but be infected by her joy, a smile appearing on her own face as well.
Of course, to maintain her ‘dominant’ position and influence Lin Xue’er’s thinking, while Lin Xue’er was feeding her, she also took the opportunity to feed Lin Xue’er in return.
Seeing that the other party didn’t resist, Xia Mengxi knew that her efforts in conditioning Lin Xue’er over the past few days had gotten off to a good start.
