Huff… huff…
Don’t chicken out. You can’t back down, Li Mo. You’re an adult now. Whether guy or girl, a place like this shouldn’t scare you!
Standing before the lingerie store, Li Mo closed her eyes to psych herself up. When she opened them, her aura shifted.
It turned razor-sharp. Her first step felt like wind beneath her feet.
But the second step? She chickened out and spun around on the spot.
Forget it. Way too early for me. I’ll just have Mom measure me and buy them instead.
Yeah. Better than strangers waving tape measures over my chest.
“Li Mo? Is that Li Mo?”
Just as she turned, a voice called out beside her.
A familiar voice. Rationally, she should’ve ignored it and bolted.
But Li Mo was flustered. Hearing her name, she instinctively looked back.
There stood Liu Shishi—short-haired, stylish, effortlessly cool.
Her backpack slung on one shoulder. So… not like a student at all.
“It really is you!”
One glance confirmed it. Who else hid such cuteness under ugly boyish clothes?
“What’re you doing here? Oh—buying a bra? Adorable.”
Liu Shishi hooked an arm through Li Mo’s. She’d watched her hesitate outside the store, almost fleeing. It cracked her up.
But did this girl even need adult lingerie?
Liu Shishi glanced down. In her memory, Li Mo was super flat. Now…
Her bulky uniform hid any curves.
Ugh. Eighteen years old… Poor thing. Liu Shishi nearly teared up.
“I… I’m done shopping. Heading back to school.”
Li Mo covered her chest, trying to wriggle free.
Why was this girl so clingy? Their relationship was awkward. Just her closeness made Li Mo uneasy.
And… she’d definitely been thinking rude things.
“Liar. You looked ready to go in. Come on, I’ll help you pick.”
I don’t need your help! Li Mo screamed inside.
But she followed. Alone, she’d never dare enter. Sometimes… compromise was necessary.
“How old are you, Li Mo?”
“Asking my age?”
“Picking a fight?”
Li Mo had forgotten why she came—to update her measurements.
“Let me measure you. Hehehe…”
Pervert! She really was a pervert!
This was weird. When Li Mo was male, Liu Shishi always gave her deadpan stares. How’d she turn like this?
“No trouble! I’ll do it myself!”
Liu Shishi approached with tools. Li Mo dodged like avoiding plague.
Problem was… she didn’t know how either.
“Fine. I’ll call a clerk.”
Rejected, Li Mo saw genuine disappointment on Liu Shishi’s face.
But a stranger groping her… Ugh…
Liu Shishi should be safe.
“You do it!” Li Mo grabbed her arm. “No funny business!”
“Trust me! I’m Liu Shishi!”
Exactly why I don’t trust you!
Warily, Li Mo followed her into the fitting room. Thankfully, Liu Shishi kept her word—strictly business.
Except…
“PFFT—HAHAHA! Li Mo, you’re so flat! HAHAHA—”
“Don’t laugh!”
Since the measurement, Liu Shishi laughed every time she saw Li Mo. Tragic for an adult, but—
She couldn’t stop!
Honestly, Li Mo’s skin was flawless—pale, smooth, tempting to touch. But…
“But—but—HAHAHAHA—”
“I do have some! Stop laughing! I’ll outgrow yours someday!”
Li Mo’s shame-blush turned furious. Unlike Tang Zhe, she couldn’t kick Liu Shishi silent. No intimidation. She just had to endure it.
“Stop picking plain ones. Ugly. Try cute styles… Pfft!”
Liu Shishi meant well. Li Mo chose boring, tacky bras. She wanted to help.
But her words came out like teasing.
“Mmm—”
Li Mo snapped. Glaring with tearful anger, she bit her lip. Liu Shishi shut her mouth guiltily.
Silence fell. Li Mo ignored the advice but glanced at the cat-print bra.
That one was cuter… Damn it.
…
…
“More shopping? Still early.”
Outside the store, Li Mo was drained. Tension broke; she nearly fainted.
Liu Shishi wanted more. Li Mo had no energy left.
“But… how’d you know I play piano?”
“Huh? Your teacher was my sister. I complained about you; she told me.”
“……”
So she’d been waiting to mess with her!
“Thanks for the help. I’m leaving. Bye.”
“Hey! Don’t rush! More browsing!”
Not a chance!
“Li Mo, you—”
Li Mo bolted. Liu Shishi reached out, but Li Mo fled too fast—gone in seconds.
… Whatever.
Her backpack zipper was open. Should be fine… probably.
Unless someone steals underwear.
