Chapter 74
Although it was said to be buying clothes for Fang Yi, her own participation was extremely low. She would walk around and look at everything with the appearance of a good old person, “It’s okay, it’s pretty good, they’re all not bad.”
Lin Shuxing pouted and simply deprived her of the right to participate in the decision-making. A group of girls swiftly put together several sets for her, a real-life dress-up.
A slim-fit suit, a Hong Kong-style floral shirt, an intellectual long dress… Fang Yi’s belated new experience was all crammed into this small afternoon. Before this set was even finished, another necklace was handed over from outside, and they were quite enjoying it.
Lin Shuxing had a preference for seeing Fang Yi in a high collar, meticulously covering her long, slender neck. She would also swagger into her territory when Fang Yi was changing clothes, and like a bandit, she would divide the area: I’m going to leave a kiss mark here. You’re not allowed to let anyone else see it.
In the VIP fitting room, there was a gilded lily-of-the-valley full-length mirror, which made one’s figure look exceptionally slender. The young lady watched and watched, and then really kissed her, pressing one knee on the soft chair, and hugging the woman who was still zipping up from behind.
“You can only wear the clothes I buy for you in the future,” Lin Shuxing said, resting her head on Fang Yi’s shoulder, her cascading red hair wantonly scattered on her chest. She thought for a moment and added, “I’ll match them for you in the future. You just have to wear them.”
The little one’s possessiveness was in full bloom.
Although she didn’t know why, Fang Yi felt that her puffed-up appearance was particularly cute, like a pufferfish, prickly on the skin, but very soft to the touch.
“When I get back, I’ll throw away all your old clothes.”
Fang Yi didn’t answer immediately. Lin Shuxing was clearly a little dissatisfied, so she viciously bit the soft flesh on the back of Fang Yi’s neck, her canine teeth sinking into the skin, her warm breath puffing in her ear, and her voice also becoming muffled.
“Did you hear me? I won’t allow you to go out dressed like this again, unless—”
Fang Yi winced in pain and frowned slightly, but the emotion that fell was clearly not because of this small bite.
In this space that belonged only to the two of them, she looked at Lin Shuxing steadily and finally spoke, “Did you forget?”
Hm? Lin Shuxing pulled at Fang Yi’s arm, racked her brains, and couldn’t find the keyword, so she glared at her righteously. “No! What did I forget?”
Fang Yi’s eyes dimmed a little. She pursed her lips. It was a little embarrassing to deliberately point out that little thought that hadn’t been noticed, and it also made her seem very petty. But it was stuck in her throat, and it was a little sour to swallow.
Seeing the woman’s suddenly dejected eyes, Lin Shuxing suddenly realized that there was a small problem, but she couldn’t remember what it was. She could only blink, and with a straight face, she held up her chin and coaxed:
“I know, it’s this. That anniversary. Didn’t I bring you here to pick out a gift? I’ll buy you whatever you want.”
“After we buy clothes, shall we go to the gold shop? Or, do you prefer diamonds? The best gift for my best fiancée—”
Her coaxing skills were top-notch. With a bright, wicked smile, she spouted ambiguous sweet nothings as if they were free, and with her money power, she could always make people dizzy.
This combination of skills had always been invincible.
It was just a pity.
Fang Yi pressed Lin Shuxing back into the chair. “I don’t want you to buy it. Use my card.”
She stared at Lin Shuxing’s brilliant and somewhat innocent face, and her unconsciously serious tone even sounded like an interrogation. “What is it an anniversary of?”
“Well…” The young lady’s eyes darted around, a hint of guilt in the whites of her eyes. “It’s the fifth anniversary of our meeting!”
“No, it wasn’t in the summer.” Actually, Fang Yi couldn’t remember the specific date either, only vaguely remembering that it wasn’t within this range.
Seeing the young lady’s arrogant momentum slowly fade, like a cat that had made a mistake showing its belly, she muttered in a small voice, “Then give me a hint.”
“It’s the clothes.” A strange feeling rose in Fang Yi’s heart, but she still pressed the corner of her mouth, approached step by step, and reminded, “You were wearing pink that day.”
“Oh!” Lin Shuxing had a sudden realization. “I see. It’s like that. Our first meeting. You were wearing this outfit, and you even treated me to a teddy bear crepe. That really can’t be thrown away~”
Fang Yi’s just-relaxed eyes suddenly froze. She rubbed her ears. “You ate what?”
Their first meeting was all in that not-so-large claw machine arcade. A little sister they had met by chance, with not much contact.
At first, she had thought that Lin Shuxing had no money to play. Later, she had been bumped into by He Shuanghua, who had implicitly reminded her that the little girl’s family should be either rich or noble.
But so what if her family was rich or noble? There was no reason to let a child go shopping alone. It was too irresponsible.
Fang Yi had no intention of climbing up to the powerful and was not interested in others’ family background. At that time, she had just played with her for a while, so that the afternoon sun would not be so lonely.
She had not treated her to a crepe.
Who had treated her to a crepe?
That’s right. Lin Shuxing was so cute when she was a child. It’s normal for others to take care of her…
Lin Shuxing raised an eyebrow at her, her eyelashes fluttering lightly, and she licked her lips. “A teddy bear crepe, strawberry flavored.”
“…”
Fang Yi took a step back, and the romantic atmosphere in the dressing room instantly vanished.
She lowered her eyes, nodded, and pretended not to care as she threw the folded old clothes into the trash can.
She quickly convinced herself, folded those dejected emotions, and was so calm that she had no emotion. “You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
“Hey, hey! I was just kidding. It’s an ambiguous way of saying it.”
The flirting had failed. The block of wood had run away.
After Fang Yi finished, she wanted to open the door and walk out. Lin Shuxing quickly grabbed her. “Who told you to be mean to me just now? I just wanted to tease you. Don’t be like this…”
In the past, Fang Yi had been too cooperative with her role-playing. She had never thought that this time she would go too far.
Lin Shuxing hugged Fang Yi’s arm pitifully. “Fiancée, good sister, don’t be angry. Really.”
“The teddy bear crepe I was talking about is you!”
“I’m not stupid. Who would eat something from a stranger on their first meeting? How can food be as delicious as you?”
When she had been shopping alone before, there had been several bodyguards and assistants following her. She had only let them watch from a distance because she found them annoying and didn’t want to be disturbed.
Just as her friends outside were about to come over to see the effect of the clothes, Lin Shuxing had quickly closed the door again, and having learned her lesson from before, she had locked it twice.
The young lady only had three minutes of patience when coaxing people. At this moment, she forcefully pulled Fang Yi over. Seeing that there was still no smile on her face, a pool of tears, which was hard to tell if they were real or fake, immediately gathered in her eyes.
When Fang Yi had no expression, she was really fierce. The corners of her lips, which were naturally slightly turned down, seemed to be pressing down on some unforgivable sin, and the difference from the gentle attitude she usually showed her was really too great.
“If you’re angry, just say it! Don’t ignore me. Don’t leave me.”
“I admit I may have been wrong, but why are you reacting so strongly? I’ve already explained it. Can’t we just talk it out? What right do you have to give me a cold face…”
The young lady coaxed herself until she was more and more aggrieved, more and more sad, and in the end, she really clutched her heart and coughed.
“I’m not angry. I won’t be in the future,” the woman immediately turned around to wipe her tears, gently patting her back. After a moment of silence, she let out a low sigh. “I don’t know how to say it… I’m sorry.”
“You’re still lying. You are angry!”
“Why can’t you just tell me your real thoughts? It was the same at the hotel last time. Why are you always deliberately avoiding it? Don’t you trust me?”
“I’ve already told you my thoughts!”
Lin Shuxing buried herself in Fang Yi’s embrace, letting the surging tears and emotions drown her.
“…”
Fang Yi’s almost indifferent reason was still burned by the young lady’s tears. Her throat trembled again and again, and her chaotic thoughts were difficult to sort out. She could only say very abruptly, “Actually, I don’t like wearing high collars that much. I sometimes feel very restricted.”
“I’m also not used to expressing myself. It’s not about you. I’m just—”
The small crack she had just managed to open suddenly closed. Her fingertips pressed on the bridge of her nose until it hurt. “I’m sorry. Please give me a little more time.”
Lin Shuxing looked up with tearful eyes. “I don’t want you to apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong. I just want you to…”
To reveal a little more to me.
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been mean to you,” Fang Yi bent down and interrupted her, slowly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the pad of her finger.
“I already said you didn’t!! It’s my fault…” Lin Shuxing twisted the corner of her clothes, her voice growing smaller.
“Yes. Then you kiss me.”
In the woman’s low, hoarse voice, the young lady did not hesitate at all. She stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around her neck, and took the initiative to kiss her.
In the small dressing room, the young lady’s whimpers were quickly swallowed by the woman. Their backs were pressed against the cold mirror, reflecting every detail of the young lady’s trembling.
Fang Yi raised her eyes slightly and clearly met the tall woman in the mirror.
Her long hair was scattered on the side of her neck, and a button on her high-collared shirt had been torn open. Even in such a passionate state, that pair of eyes was still exceptionally clear. Only the corners of her clear black and white eyes were tinged with a little red, cutting a bloody gash in her ascetic temperament.
—You are so hypocritical.
The person in the mirror gave a despicable smile and said to her.
That doesn’t matter either. Fang Yi lowered her eyes, held Lin Shuxing up a little, and let her raised red hair cover all the illusions. She said softly, “Call my name.”
The young lady in her arms had a hazy gaze, her amber eyes covered with a layer of mist. She had even forgotten to cry. “Mmm… Fang, Yi.”
The broken tone was like ice cubes, rustling and falling on her overheated skin.
Fang Yi pushed aside the fiery red hair on the young lady’s forehead, revealing her pair of aggrieved eyes. “I’m sometimes too slow. I don’t understand those romantic rhetoric. When you say you like me, can you just say it directly?”
“As long as you call my name, I won’t be angry.”
“You say, ‘I like, Fang Yi.'”
She guided her, word by word.
“Mmm… I like, I like…”
“You’re missing two words.”
“Fang, Yi!” The young lady was a little angry out of shame.
The woman bent down and kissed her. “I like you too.”
The little bit of temper that Lin Shuxing had just had vanished without a trace. She leaned on Fang Yi’s shoulder, stared at her sharp profile for a while, and suddenly reached out and pinched her face.
“What’s wrong?”
“I feel like you’re also a demon,” Lin Shuxing frowned. “A little more powerful than Shui Wuding.”
“Forget it. A demon is a demon. It’s fine to be King Zhou.”
Before Fang Yi could answer, the young lady shook her head and sighed deeply. “If you want to suck my essence, then suck it. But don’t give me a sour face again.”
“I’m sorry.” Fang Yi turned her head, revealing the not-yet-faded bite mark on her neck, and then flashed a serious, cool expression, and said softly, “You can also suck mine.”
“…”
Lin Shuxing was about to suffocate.
How many more times was she going to use the same honey trap?
But, but it was still very effective.
“Do you know this is a fitting room? Don’t look at me with those eyes!!”
She suddenly regretted it. She shouldn’t have come in. She hadn’t gotten any advantage, and had even lost herself in the process.
The woman stood in front of her, her smile so restrained it was excessive. Her well-defined hands raised, and with a light click, she pressed on the top malachite button of her collar.
“…Didn’t you say you don’t like wearing high collars? Take it off and change into another one.” The young lady still remembered her words just now, especially after the kiss, Fang Yi’s face was tinged with a little color, and she looked more vivid, and very dangerous.
Fang Yi replied, “You gave it to me. I like it.”
“I only want to show it to you.”
“…”
Lin Shuxing took a deep breath. For the first time, she pushed Fang Yi away. Through the door of the fitting room, she took out her phone with a blank expression and called a friend. “You guys go ahead. I suddenly have something urgent to do. I’m going home.”
The friend on the phone was exceptionally well-behaved.
But that thin door panel couldn’t block anything at all. Almost as soon as she hung up, they heard the young ladies’ chattering and angry voices from outside:
“Our Star is done for!!”
“Greedy for money and lust. I hope she’s the former.”
“Hey, hey, stop her! Bai Lu, you can’t go in. Star will be angry!!”
“We tried to stop her. We really did.”
