“Well, actually, I didn’t mean to. I was only trying to pat my head, but then my hand slipped and…”
Once the lingerie shop had regained its previous quietude, I spread my hands, offering my explanation with a sincere tone. Of course, the object of my explanation couldn’t possibly be that idiotic demon, Serena; who cared about her anyway! The person whose misunderstanding I truly needed to clear up was, without a doubt, my sister Chen Si Yi.
Ever since Serena’s shocking pronouncement, Chen Si Yi had remained silent, observing everything with a detached gaze. Thus, to prevent her image of a perfect older brother from being tarnished, a suitable explanation, however feeble, was absolutely essential.
“Alright, alright, you don’t need to say anything more. Why would I misunderstand?”
However, before I could finish my sentence, Chen Si Yi cut me off.
“Try this one. I just picked it out; it should suit you quite well.”
Chen Si Yi selected an item from a rack of lingerie and handed it to me, a delighted smile gracing her lips.
My gaze fell upon it, and I instantly froze. The lingerie handed to me was pink, adorned with a cute bow between the panties and the bra, and edged with transparent, textured lace on both sides.
‘Ugh… how should I put it… this set of lingerie truly exudes an indescribable level of shame!’
“Uh, well, this… this isn’t really appropriate, is it? After all, I’m a man; wearing this would be far too…”
Leaving aside the lace-net design, simply the overtly girlish pink was something I found utterly unacceptable. I quietly adjusted my collar, then lowered my head for a closer look – ‘Hmm, plain white with a hint of light blue; that’s probably the absolute limit of what I can tolerate.’
“Oh, really?” Chen Si Yi glanced at me with a skeptical look, her hand covering her mouth in feigned surprise.
“I thought you quite liked this cute style.” As she spoke, she gestured towards the bag Serena was holding. “When I saw you so happy wearing that Lolita dress, I genuinely thought you were a pervert who enjoyed cross-dressing.”
‘Nonsense! I wasn’t happy at all then, alright? It was merely… a slight thrill!’
“Never mind, whether you like this style or not is irrelevant.” Chen Si Yi then pulled another set of outrageously embarrassing lingerie from the pile and thrust it into my hands. “In any case, I quite like this design, and I think it suits your current look perfectly. So don’t even think about anything else today; just be obedient. You’ll wear it whether you want to or not!”
‘Hey, hey, hey, how did this suddenly turn into a forced purchase? And aren’t we buying lingerie for *me*? Why are you buying it according to *your* preferred style? I get it! It must be because your chest is so small, even worse than a loli like me, so you can’t wear this style and want me to try it on instead, right?!’
I glanced down at the slight swell beneath my own pale neck, a chest that already showed the potential of reaching a B-cup, then at Chen Si Yi’s ‘barren airstrip’ of a chest, but ultimately, I kept my thoughts to myself. After all, I wasn’t an idiot; even Serena, her loyal lackey, had earned a frosty glare for an unconscious chest thrust. If I dared to call Chen Si Yi an ‘airstrip,’ my grave would likely be overgrown with grass a meter high by this time next year.
Since I couldn’t touch upon Chen Si Yi’s sore spot, I needed to find another shield. I pondered for a moment, and then an idea sparked within me.
“But I can’t change into the lingerie myself!” I shrugged helplessly, protesting to my sister beside me. “And I certainly don’t want Serena to help me change. So, how about…” I paused. “How about *you* help me change?”
“*I* help you change?”
Upon hearing my words, Chen Si Yi’s expression froze, and she instantly became as stiff as a wooden doll.
“I… I suppose I could help you change, but… but…” Chen Si Yi’s tone was incredibly hesitant, and a faint blush bloomed on her cheeks. “It’s just that, well, think about it: a sister helping… helping her older brother change clothes… no matter how you look at it, it just feels really strange, doesn’t it?”
‘You *know* it’s strange?! If you know, then change me back, you bastard! I know you’re just making excuses because you’re shy. If that’s the case, then hurry up and tell your lackey to change me back! Why go through all this trouble? Can’t we just discuss things properly? Is it really necessary to turn me into a loli and then imprison me at home?!’
Watching Chen Si Yi’s conflicted expression, I sighed helplessly, though a flicker of secret joy still stirred within me. ‘Surely, this lingerie plan must be called off now, right?’
However, Chen Si Yi, who had been propping her chin, suddenly turned her head towards the sales counter, utterly shattering my illusions.
“Hello, excuse me, could you please help my little sister change her lingerie? She’s terribly shy and absolutely refuses to let me, her older sister, help him.”
Chen Si Yi gripped my hand and led me to the sales counter, then scooped me up again, cradling me like an infant, holding my bottom.
The saleswoman, dressed in a grey uniform skirt, paused for a moment, then instantly broke into an incredibly gentle smile upon seeing my timid little face. “Of course, no problem at all! If I weren’t busy right now, I’d truly love to personally help such a cute little sister change her clothes!”
The saleswoman couldn’t resist gently rubbing my cheek with her hand, then picked up the walkie-talkie from the table, pressed it to her lips, and spoke: “Xiao Yu, please come to the main hall. We have a cute little sister here who needs changing services.”
‘What the hell is “changing services”? If I were the owner, I’d never agree to such an unreasonable request from customers! Also, the name Xiao Yu… and the pleasant female voice coming from the other end of the walkie-talkie, they both gave me a strange sense of familiarity. It must be… my imagination, right?’
A few minutes later, a girl also dressed in a uniform hurried into the main hall. Perhaps due to her haste, her beautiful black hair was disheveled, falling loosely over both shoulders, and her usually fair, delicate face was flushed crimson from the exertion of running.
“H-huff, huff, Sister Yi, I’m… I’m so sorry. I was just checking inventory in the stockroom, so I… I’m late.”
The saleswoman, still panting heavily, raised her head and looked apologetically at Chen Si Yi and me, then, as expected… she, too, fell into a state of stunned immobility alongside us.
‘Oh my god, the female voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie actually belonged to my childhood friend, Su Xiao Yu? What kind of divine intervention is this?!’
