New Shoes

“First, you need to know that I have two options for finding shoes for you.” Liu Shi was very confident, as if she had Ren Anhua all figured out.

Ren Anhua was curious about such bold claims. After all, she had searched so many stores for shoes without success, and this woman was already talking about two options. What did she mean by “options?” She didn’t even say that there were only two pairs of shoes, which meant that she might be able to find more than just two pairs that fit Ren Anhua.

How could Ren Anhua not be curious?

“You… tell me about them?” With a doubtful attitude, Ren Anhua fell into this woman’s trap.

“The first option will definitely give you higher quality shoes. There’s someone in the Mutual Aid Society named Shen Dinghui, whose ability is scaling. He can scale objects proportionally. No matter what kind of shoes you find, as long as the proportions are right, he can make them fit you, no matter how big. But there are some problems with this option.” Liu Shi seemed to be deliberately whetting Ren Anhua’s appetite, pausing there.

“What problems?” Ren Anhua had no choice but to ask, following her lead.

“Shen Dinghui is a lolicon. You’ll have to pay a price.” Liu Shi looked at Ren Anhua’s body with deliberate ambiguity.

Ren Anhua immediately wanted to retort, “What does Shen Dinghui being a lolicon have to do with me, Ren Anhua?” But, on second thought, she gave up. Some things are best left to self-deception.

“This option is off the table.” For the first time in her life, Ren Anhua consciously acknowledged her lolita status.

“The second option is right above us.” Liu Shi pointed upstairs; this was her ultimate goal. She had already guessed that Ren Anhua would react this way. “The Youth Palace we’re in offers dance classes. Many parents send their children here for early training, so there will be some spare clothing and shoes in the dance studio upstairs. Soft-soled dance shoes are very suitable for your situation. Dance shoes are very soft to adapt to various poses. Even without heels, they can accommodate your tiptoe posture.”

“Most importantly, many of the girls who come here to learn to dance are children, so you can definitely find a size that fits you.”

Ren Anhua automatically ignored the last sentence.

“Alright, take me to see them.” If she could find suitable shoes, Ren Anhua wouldn’t mind what kind they were. After all, wearing something was better than wearing nothing, it would look more normal.

To avoid disturbing the residents, the dance studio was on the top floor. After all, they often used large speakers to play music to assist with teaching. But now, of course, it was abandoned. In this era, no one would learn to dance. The dance studio now served as the Mutual Aid Society’s clothing storage room. Clothes, as non-strategic materials, were very easy to collect. There were so many people in the Mutual Aid Society, so they collected a lot of clothes, shoes, and hats of all kinds for convenience.

These items, regardless of price, were all organized into boxes and stacked in a corner of the dance studio. But Ren Anhua’s purpose here was naturally not these things; she couldn’t find the shoes she needed here. Liu Shi led her to a row of cabinets against the wall, which contained the spare dance shoes from before the apocalypse.

Ren Anhua looked forward to what the dance shoes Liu Shi mentioned would look like, but when Liu Shi actually took out a pair of girls’ dance shoes, Ren Anhua couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

In Ren Anhua’s eyes, this thing was just a slightly thicker pair of socks.

She felt like she had been deceived by Liu Shi. Although she said she could accept any shoes as long as they could be worn, the range should be limited to the concept of “shoes.” If she wanted to find a suitable pair of boat socks, Ren Anhua could find them herself.

“Hey, hey, don’t go, try them on first.” Whether Ren Anhua liked them or not was not what Liu Shi cared about. Liu Shi’s main purpose was just to crouch down and put the shoes on this pink-haired person.

And then find the right angle to observe if this guy really had some big treasure hidden underneath.

Ren Anhua’s attitude, on the other hand, gave Liu Shi the opportunity to achieve her goal.

Liu Shi took the opportunity to squat down in front of Ren Anhua, pinched a soft little foot, and slipped it into the soft-soled dance shoe in her hand.

‘This woman, why does she keep grabbing my feet! Don’t overdo it!’ Ren Anhua was a little dissatisfied, but her feet were grabbed again, so she couldn’t leave.

The size of the soft-soled dance shoes was just right. The light pink fabric comfortably adhered to the girl’s soft feet. There were two crossed ribbons on the back of the foot for fixing, and after tightening, there was no risk of them falling off. The slender legs were wrapped in white silk, and with such a simple pair of dance shoes, it was quite pleasing to the eye.

However, Ren Anhua felt that after putting on these shoes, the tentacle socks wrapping her legs seemed to have undergone some kind of change. A slippery and restless feeling invaded the delicate skin without dead ends, extending from her toes all the way to the roots of her legs, that numb and wonderful feeling almost made her unable to stand.

“Ugh! What’s this feeling!”

Before Ren Anhua could react, Liu Shi had already put the dance shoes on her other foot, and immediately tightened the laces, giving her no chance to regret it. That numb feeling was now affecting both legs.

She couldn’t stand anymore. Although she had already activated the anti-gravity field, she didn’t want to float directly, so she didn’t dare to overdo it. She had no choice but to hold Liu Shi’s shoulder, barely maintaining her standing posture.

The white silk did change a little after putting on the girls’ dance shoes, slightly revealing a hint of pink in the shape of the dance shoes. And on the outside of the ankles, two beautiful bows bloomed, adorning the slender ankles.

The two ribbons attached to the back of the foot extended on the white silk, revealing a hint of pink, and two pink ribbon patterns were created along the position of the ribbons. The two ribbon-shaped patterns rose diagonally along the slender legs, as if guiding the eyes of others, disappearing into the hem of the hoodie.

And in the position covered by the hem of the hoodie, the edge of the sock, which could not be seen normally, also gave birth to a circle of cute lace, and the trembling legs supporting the body made this circle of lace sway in the air.

Obviously, the change in the appearance of the tentacle socks brought considerable stimulation to Ren Anhua. Her entire legs had undergone irreversible changes due to the long-term wrapping of the tentacle suit. Slight disturbances or caresses would produce that comfortable and numb feeling. Usually, it was fine when the tentacle socks quietly protected her, but if these white silks became the perpetrators, then Ren Anhua could only accept this terrible feeling without resistance.

It was conceivable that her body probably couldn’t escape this set of close-fitting clothing. If she really took off these socks, she might have trouble walking. Even if she floated in the air without touching anything, the breeze would make her tremble with “comfort.”

If her legs were like this, the swimsuit she was wearing on her body was probably no better.

Perhaps the characteristic that this set of close-fitting clothing could not be taken off had become a kind of safety guarantee for Ren Anhua at this time.

Liu Shi, who was squatting on the ground, finally saw the scenery “inside the skirt” of Ren Anhua in a legitimate way. Looking from below, the loose hoodie could directly see the entire body of this girl. Only then did Liu Shi realize that this little guy was actually wearing a white school swimsuit directly underneath.

Why would she wear a school swimsuit as underwear? Was it out of some kind of hobby?

Ren Anhua did not know that her image had undergone some kind of change in Liu Shi’s mind. And Liu Shi’s next discovery further accelerated this change.

What the hell is that box tied to her thigh! What the hell, the line on the box is actually extending to….

Unsurprisingly, Liu Shi misunderstood Ren Anhua’s body… or maybe not entirely.

This little guy was wearing this kind of thing, wearing this kind of clothes, and she still dared to call herself a man, it was ridiculous.

The amount of information received in an instant was a bit too much, almost making Liu Shi forget her purpose. After a moment of trance, she remembered that she came to confirm the true gender of this pink-haired person, but she now felt that there was nothing to confirm.

The school swimsuit was very close-fitting, and that place was also outlined by this close-fitting clothing, without any undulation at all.

There was no appearance of “a gentleman hides his weapon in his body” as imagined. Tang Yunxuan, that idiot, didn’t know how he was deceived, and she was also an idiot, to doubt her gender.

Thinking about it, Liu Shi felt a little annoyed, and directly reached out and grabbed it, preparing to confirm the gender of this little guy at zero distance, not giving her any chance to quibble.

That’s right, this little guy was clearly concave, and there was nothing underneath.

“Uwa! What are you doing!” Ren Anhua was startled by Liu Shi. How could this woman be so bold, moving her hands whenever she wanted. Her legs reflexively clamped together, but there was no way to stop Liu Shi’s hand that had already reached over.

“Male? Ah? Twenty-five years old? Ah?” Liu Shi’s eyes and tone were filled with undisguised questioning. “Wearing this kind of thing, you have the nerve to say you’re a man. I almost believed your nonsense.”

“I…I this is… Wah, let go!” Ren Anhua was still barely standing by holding Liu Shi’s shoulder, it was difficult for her to stop Liu Shi, this person who was messing around.

“Say it, you’re a girl.” Liu Shi threatened.

“I… I am…” Ren Anhua stammered, unable to say the last three words no matter what. She wanted to unleash her full power and run away, but she also wanted to hide her identity as an Awakened. She was a Level Four Awakened, and these low-level Awakened couldn’t recognize her at all. Was she going to expose her identity because of this kind of thing?

Fortunately, Liu Shi did not make things too difficult for her, it was just a small revenge.

“Okay, a girl is a girl, don’t tell such lies in the future.” The pink-haired girl’s almost crying tone finally made Liu Shi unable to continue.

She decided to use emotion and reason to correct this pink-haired girl’s distorted gender perception.

But when she saw Ren Anhua’s small face, she suddenly froze.

That touch of exciting flush, those alluring pink heart-shaped pupils, Ke Xingmei’s designed terrible expression, always gave people a heart-tightening experience.

Looking at the dazed Liu Shi, Ren Anhua also realized that something was wrong. Finally, the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the dance studio allowed her to see clearly what she looked like now.

“Wait, don’t get me wrong, I don’t have that something.” Ren Anhua explained eagerly, but the emotions surging in her heart still could not be calmed. Liu Shi’s sudden attack was a bit too stimulating for Ren Anhua.

Her cute big eyes darted from left to right, avoiding Liu Shi’s gaze, but she still maintained the appearance of heart-shaped pupils and could not recover. This evasive look, on the contrary, added some indescribable flavor.

“Don’t look, there’s nothing to see!” The numbness in her legs had subsided. Ren Anhua took two steps back, away from Liu Shi, and covered her eyes with the back of her hand.

However, this posture made her look even more wrong.
