Translator: Doggotranslation
“Xiao Nan, am I late?” Outside the door, it was Ziyuan who was carrying many bags with her. She was wearing a thin pink cardigan with a white sleeveless shirt on top, and hot pants and sneakers at the bottom. Seeing her dressed up like this, I was really surprised. Especially the short braid that was tied on her head, it made her look very cute.
Is she still the Ziyuan I know? In my impression, she had never worn any clothes that couldn’t cover her shoulders or knees… But after thinking about it again, I understood that Ziyuan, who had always dressed in a conservative and simple style, was deliberately dressed up like this today. With such an avant-garde style, it would be really difficult for me to connect her with the girl I saw last night…
Ziyuan was as naive as before. Since I had recognized her, no matter how she tried to hide it, it would be futile.
“I went to the mall and bought a few gifts, but I didn’t expect it would take so long. I’m sorry…” Ziyuan said naturally, but her eyes flickered and she didn’t dare to look at my eyes at all…
“It’s okay. You don’t actually need to run. Just look at you. You are sweating all over. Come in and take a seat. I’ll get you a glass of water.” I didn’t expose her because her anxious behaviors alone already exposed herself. Not to mention that after seeing the bruises on my face, and bandages on my right forearm, she didn’t even ask me what happened. Clearly, it meant that she knew what happened.
“Oh, okay…” Ziyuan lowered her head and followed me into my flat.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely cold… The two big girls and two little girls were sitting at the dinner table not moving an inch. All their eyes were as cold as ice when we walked in. Seeing this, I felt very frustrated. I did ask them not to ask Ziyuan about what happened last night, but I didn’t ask them to stay completely silent.
Are they deliberately trying to make it difficult for me?
“Ahem!” I coughed heavily and forced myself to smile, the corners of my lips were twitching: “Xiao Zi is here, why don’t you all greet her?”
Seeing that veins were bulging on my forehead, four girls knew I was really angry and finally stopped showing the cold expression.
“Hello, Elder Sister Ziyuan.”
“Hi, Elder Sister Ziyuan.”
“Ziyuan, come and sit here.”
“One second, I’ll get you a glass of water.”
Ziyuan had been hiding behind me, not daring to raise her head. She didn’t even see the cold expressions of the four girls just now. Hearing their enthusiastic greetings, she was so nervous that she stuttered: “Hi, hi, everyone, I, I bought you a gift, but I don’t know if you like it or not…” She had completely lost the calmness that she had when she came to my flat the first time.
Ziyuan bought five gifts: Chu Yuan and Dongfang each got a plush toy, Liusu, and Dong Xiaoye each got a dress, and I got a tie…
How did Ziyuan know there were five people in my flat? She should have only seen me, Chu Yuan, and Dong Xiaoye last night. It was understandable why she knew Dongfang was in my flat. After all, she knew this for a long time. But how did she know that Liusu was in my flat as well? At first, I thought that she might have bought two sets of clothes for Dong Xiaoye, and gave Liusu one of the two sets at the last minute after discovering that she was also in my flat. However, after seeing Liusu trying them on, I dispelled this idea.
Ziyuan had known in advance that Liusu was in my flat. Maybe she heard from someone that I was with Liusu last night so she guessed it, or maybe… Someone has been monitoring my flat and saw Liusu coming in and out of my flat.
If there was really someone who was secretly monitoring my flat, then it would not be Ziyua. It must be someone who was arranged by the Third Lady. I really didn’t understand it. I didn’t know what kind of conflicts I had with her in the past, that she would especially hire someone to monitor me…
As for why I concluded from these two sets of clothes that Ziyuan knew that Liusu was in my flat in advance, the reason was very simple… The clothes Ziyuan bought for Liusu fit her too well. Regardless of style or size, it was not suitable for Dong Xiaoye at all.
What Ziyuan gave Liusu was a three-piece fashionable women’s suit. The color was the light color that Liusu liked. Firstly, this dress was totally inconsistent with Dong Xiaoye’s profession and temperament. Secondly, the shirt was too tight for Dong Xiaoye. When Dong Xiaoye put it on, she could barely fasten the buttons, giving people a feeling that her ample assets would pop the buttons of the shirt open. In addition, the trousers were too long, the waist was too thin…
And the gift to Dong Xiaoye was a set of famous branded casual sportswear. The color was bright red, which was the color Dong Xiaoye liked. Liusu had tried to put it on, but the trouser legs were a little short…
When girls are chatting together, body shape and weight are often unavoidable topics. Ziyuan’s choice of gifts proved how thoughtful she was. She paid attention to these things because she wanted to have a chance to please Liusu and Dong Xiaoye. But why did she want to please them? After thinking about it, I was deeply moved… However, one thing that could not be denied was that Ziyuan was really not good at dealing with people. These two sets of clothes offended both girls completely…
The two girls already had opinions about Ziyuan, but now they had even bigger opinions. Liusu felt that Ziyuan was definitely mocking her for having small breasts, while Dong Xiaoye believed that the elastic waistband was an insult to her figure…
Uh… I didn’t even know what to say. Ziyuan didn’t understand those two girls’ feelings at all. No matter how suitable these two clothes were for the two girls, they must not be sent out at the same time, otherwise, they would inevitably compare each other.
People will feel more or less inferior when compared with other people. Anyone who is not super narcissistic will instinctively look for blemishes on their own body when they compare with other people.
The boyish Liusu’s chest was very flat, and no matter what she ate, she would only grow taller but her chest would not get bigger. In terms of Dong Xiaoye, because she ate a lot and exercised a lot, her muscles were very strong. Although her waist was slim, it was far less slim than the Liusu…
And to top it all off, Ziyuan did not have those flaws that made those two girls feel inferior… Compared with Ziyuan, the tall and slender Liusu was not petite enough, and Dong Xiaoye’s busty figure was not as elegant and noble enough…
After Liusu and Sister Tiger put on the clothes Ziyuan gave them, they all looked at Ziyuan with burning gazes. I could even see the word “jealousy” marked on their foreheads clearly…
Those two girls must be thinking that Ziyuan was deliberately giving them clothes to show off her figure.
“Come, come, let’s eat. I was thinking you would arrive around this time, so I let Yuan Yuan prepare in advance. All the dishes have just been served to the table, so while they are still hot, let’s eat while talking,” I quickly pulled Ziyuan to the dining table and turned around to say to Liusu and Dong Xiaoye: “Why are you two still standing there? Go wash your hands and let’s eat.”
“Oh,” Liusu said while making a grimace at me when Ziyuan was facing the table. Obviously, she was still not happy about the clothes fitting her body too well. Alas, women are really hard to please. How can she blame others for having small breasts?
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of something, “Xiao Zi, I have always wanted to ask you something…”
“Wh, what is it?!” Hearing my words, Ziyuan’s legs softened and she almost sat on the ground. Realizing that her reaction was too big, her expression changed instantly, and she dared not look into my eyes.
She was too nervous, and she must have thought that I wanted to ask about what happened last night…
Yes, I also wanted to ask her that, but I knew that since Ziyuan came as promised, she must be prepared, so I couldn’t ask her. I must leave her hanging and not let her know what I was thinking…
Ziyuan had been a very dependent child since she was a child, and her ability to handle stress was not good. Even if she has grown up, she still hasn’t changed much in this regard. This was enough to be seen from her reaction.
I wanted to make Ziyuan feel uneasy. I wanted her to lose her composure and take the initiative to confess what happened last night. If I asked her now, she would either lie to me or give me a perfunctory answer. If she took the initiative to confess, at least some of her words would be true.
I know Ziyuan too well. If she was still the same as she was before.
Having said that, it was really difficult to act in front of this girl, because she was too dumb, and I had to pretend to be dumber than her…
I sat down next to her and chuckled: “You remember how old you were when you left Bei Tian City five years ago?”
“Eighteen years old,” Ziyuan smiled bitterly, “How could I forget it? The day I left, it happened to be my eighteenth birthday.”
I felt a slight pain in my heart. However, compared to the past where I wanted to forget that day forever, now I at least had the courage to mention that day. I took the drink that Dong Xiaoye handed me, took a sip, and asked casually, “Mhm, but I have to admit that you have changed a lot. How big is your chest size now?”
“Mhm- Huh?!”. Ziyuan came back to her senses suddenly. She blushed with embarrassment and punched me in the shoulder, feeling both amused and annoyed: “You pervert, how can you ask a girl this question?!”
“I’m just curious… Ow!” Liusu slapped the back of my head mercilessly, causing me to almost bite my tongue.
“Pervert!” She only said one word in her mouth, but I could tell from her angry gaze that if I dared to ask this question again, she would definitely hit me harder…
Dong Xiaoye also said angrily: “If you dare to ask this kind of question again, I will really handcuff you.”
“Brother Nan, I know you are a pervert, but for the sake of me and Yuan Yuan, can’t you restrain yourself a bit? We are still pure and innocent little kids….”
