Trying on Clothes

With eager anticipation, Xi Xue arrived at Ruobing’s fitting room.

Just as her hand lifted to knock, a sudden intuition made her turn, her gaze fixing on the attendant.

The attendant offered an awkward smile, quickly averting her eyes from their intrusive glance.

Under Xi Xue’s unwavering scrutiny, she reluctantly stepped back to package the clothes, leaving them to their privacy.

No sooner had the fitting room door clicked shut and locked than Xi Xue, unable to contain her eagerness, began circling Ruobing.

She would stand, then squat, peering at the hem of the skirt one moment, then caressing the black stockings the next, shamelessly indulging her playful curiosity.

Lan Ruobing tried to fend her off, her hands batting left and right, yet she found herself utterly defenseless against Xi Xue’s invasive gaze and playful ‘devil claws.’

In the end, she could only crouch down defensively, allowing Xi Xue to stroke her cat ears and tease her tail.

Xi Xue urged her to stand, but she stubbornly refused.

With no other choice, Xi Xue withdrew her playfully ‘exploitative’ hands.

Once Ruobing finally stood upright, Xi Xue spoke again. “Come on, Ruobing, meow for me.”

“…” Lan Ruobing looked utterly speechless.

“No meowing.”

“Meow, please.”

“No meowing.”

“…” Xi Xue’s eyes darted slyly. “Just one little meow?”

“Scram!”

“…There’s no love left, Ruobing.”

Xi Xue squeezed out a few scattered, fake tears from her eyes.

“…” Lan Ruobing’s mouth twitched at the terrible acting.

Seeing that Ruobing ignored her, Xi Xue circled behind her and wrapped her in a tight hug.

Her voice turned soft and sweet as she breathed against Ruobing’s neck, “Are you really not going to meow?”

Lan Ruobing’s ears instantly softened, burning hot from the breath.

“You… you let go first.”

She struggled, attempting to push Xi Xue away, but Xi Xue’s arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, pinning her in an unyielding grip.

Ruobing had no choice but to relent.

“I won’t,” Xi Xue hummed, making a playful motion as if to bite her delicate ear.

Feeling the sudden, warm proximity against her earlobe, Lan Ruobing hastily spoke in panic.

“Meow, meow meow! Can’t I just meow?! Xi Xue, let go quickly! I’ve meowed, I’ve already meowed!”

“Alright, alright, can’t I let go now?” Xi Xue released her mouth with a satisfied smirk, still exhaling warm breaths against Ruobing’s skin.

“And your hands!” Ruobing huffed delicately, casting a resentful glance over her shoulder.

Xi Xue’s mouth was a lying devil; she had clearly meowed, yet Xi Xue still held on!

Such a big liar! A big liar who loved to take advantage!

At this, Xi Xue stirred, only to hug her even tighter.

“Liar! Didn’t you say you’d let go if I meowed?”

“Hmm? Did I say that? I said I’d release my mouth, didn’t I?”

“You…!”

Ruobing’s chest heaved with anger, a sight Xi Xue thoroughly enjoyed from her vantage point.

Then, Xi Xue’s hand subtly slipped downward, hovering near the hem of Ruobing’s skirt.

“Ruobing, there’s something I want to confirm.”

“What is it? Can you let go first, please? I’m a little out of breath.” Lan Ruobing’s tone softened, feeling a sudden, inexplicable sense of danger.

To be safe, she remained perfectly still, her heart beginning to race.

“Answer my question, and I’ll let go,” Xi Xue said cunningly.

“…”

“What question? Tell me.” Ruobing paused, eventually choosing to compromise.

‘It’s fine, just endure a little longer, just a little longer.’

“I want to confirm whether Ruobing is truly a girl.”

“What?” Lan Ruobing froze.

‘Did I… mishear?’

“I said, I want to see if Ruobing has anything strange growing down there.”

Xi Xue’s face suddenly flushed as the words left her mouth. ‘Was that a bit too blunt?’

“Eh?” Lan Ruobing was stunned, her mind short-circuiting.

“Eh eh eh eh eh!!!”
