Will Xi Xue like me?

Closing and locking the fitting room door, Lan Ruobing ensured no one could suddenly intrude.

She shyly placed the cat-ear maid outfit on the cylindrical sofa stool, then settled down.

This was an intimate outfit, and Xi Xue had insisted she wear it.

The mischievous girl had not only brazenly fondled her chest but had also coerced her into donning the cat-ear maid ensemble, threatening to touch her repeatedly until her breasts went numb.

“That’s truly too much. She touched my chest and still makes me wear this!” Lan Ruobing whispered indignantly.

‘I only said one wrong thing, didn’t I? Is there really a need to torment me like this?’

‘Besides, I don’t even know what I did wrong.’

‘It’s all so baffling. One moment she’s angry, the next she’s assaulting my chest. I have every right to feel wronged, don’t I?’

Yet, despite her grievances, she had obediently brought the maid outfit inside.

She had a faint, unsettling feeling that Xi Xue’s anger was tinged with jealousy.

A peculiar warmth bloomed in her heart.

Though love was currently out of reach, being cared for by the girl she adored filled her with an unexpected sense of anticipation and emotion.

‘Even if I’ve changed, will Xi Xue still feel something? Will she have a sense that ‘the person in front of her is familiar’?’

‘After all, seeing me makes her think of Lan Nuo.’

‘Will Xi Xue like me?’

Lan Ruobing bit her thumbnail, diligently recalling her past interactions with Xi Xue.

From their very first day together until yesterday, she meticulously searched, recalling every minute detail, every flicker of emotion in Xi Xue’s eyes. She hoped to uncover a single memory of affection in Xi Xue’s gaze.

Alas, no matter how hard she tried, her mind offered no images of Xi Xue’s heart stirred by emotion.

Those bright, clear, ink-dark eyes seemed devoid of any other sentiment, always reflecting kindness, beauty, and warmth.

Lan Ruobing was unwilling to give up. Though logic told her that Xi Xue couldn’t possibly like her, she was certain that what she had felt today was unmistakably jealousy.

Moreover, the way Xi Xue looked at her was different from before; a subtle desire seemed to lurk within.

Though not entirely certain, she sensed that Xi Xue seemed to covet her.

‘The same personality, a different body. How could someone’s feelings change so drastically?’

There was only one explanation: Xi Xue liked her, but she was too clever, concealing her emotions, which was why she hadn’t perceived her affection.

Now, encountering a girl who closely resembled the person she liked, Xi Xue had unreservedly revealed her feelings.

‘So, it’s possible Xi Xue likes me?’

Lan Ruobing clasped her hands over her heart.

Apart from her parents, Xi Xue was the first person to treat her so kindly. If Xi Xue truly loved her, she would protect her diligently, forever.

After staring at the maid outfit for a moment, holding her breath, Lan Ruobing silently turned her face away, shifting her gaze.

“Sure enough, I still can’t do it,” she suddenly deflated, slumping back onto the sofa.

“Black stockings, gloves, cat ears, ribbons, a tail… what are all these strange things? Why would anyone invent something like this? It’s so embarrassing, isn’t it?”

She puffed out her cheeks, complaining, but a moment later, her gaze still drifted back to the cat-ear maid outfit.

Xi Xue’s anticipation lay there.

“No, no, absolutely not!” She shook her head vigorously.

The thought of herself wearing the maid outfit, clutching the hem of the skirt, and averting her eyes, inexplicably gave her goosebumps. Being a boy on the inside, she simply couldn’t manage such a demure posture or expression.

Shedding her white T-shirt and hot pants, unfastening her bra, and then slipping off her white underwear, she placed them all on the sofa.

Raising her head, she stood tall. Her reflection in the mirror was completely bare.

Her ample, fair breasts were so large that her left hand, which she used to cover them, almost completely sank in.

Her waist was soft, a long, snow-white expanse curving around her navel and extending downwards.

Lan Ruobing covered her lower region with her right hand and encircled her chest with her left.

Although the room was enclosed on all sides, she couldn’t shake the feeling of exposure, as if someone were constantly watching her.

However, she understood that her thoughts were mere illusions.

The dressing room had a large mirror on one wall (the mirror was on the door), three smooth walls, and a cylindrical sofa stool in the center. The ceiling, too, was treated to be perfectly smooth and bare.

There was nowhere to install cameras.

This design was specifically to protect customer privacy.

Lan Ruobing didn’t hesitate. She put on her bra, then her underwear, and grabbed the black stockings, pulling them up her jade-like legs.

“Hiss… so cold… Is this what black stockings are like?” She frowned, looking at the stockings pulled halfway up.

When she usually saw girls wearing them, she had thought they would be warm.

Pulling on the skirt, attaching the tail, and donning the cat ears, she tried to push aside her lingering embarrassment.

The maid outfit exposed large sections of her back and chest, combined with the seductive black stockings, gloves, and the ribbons tied around her thighs, making it look incredibly alluring.

Lan Ruobing couldn’t help but sigh, marveling at how playful people were nowadays.

After a moment of reflection, she pulled out her phone and dialed Xi Xue’s number.
