Volume 3 Chapter 61: You Bought the Wrong Socks!
After waiting outside for a while, he finally heard the girl cough softly from inside the room. Then she said in a quiet voice:
“Y-you can come in now!”
That was pretty fast.
Gao Liang glanced at the time, then turned and gently pushed the door open.
The girl stood in front of him, wearing a white dress. She lowered her head shyly. Gao Liang smiled in satisfaction, walked closer, and asked,
“So? Is this the same style you wore last night?”
“I think… I think so.” The girl nodded, a little embarrassed.
Actually, she couldn’t remember clearly either. But it looked mostly the same.
Her family probably wouldn’t remember the details that well. She should… be able to get away with it!
“Then, do the clothes fit well?”
Gao Liang tilted his head again. The girl felt the clothes carefully.
Hmm… they seemed okay.
“They’re fine, I guess?”
“Don’t just say that. Let me take a look.”
Gao Liang held her shoulders and carefully checked whether the clothes fit her properly.
Hey—what are you, a tailor?
But she had no choice. Under his serious gaze, the girl reluctantly turned around a few times. After looking her over from front and back, Gao Liang nodded with satisfaction.
“Mm~ Looks like I’m getting better at estimating sizes. When I used to buy clothes for my sister, I sometimes bought sizes big enough to fit two of her.”
He laughed as he joked.
Lin Lin’s mouth twitched.
Seriously… what kind of eyesight do you need to mess up that badly?
Still, at least he had paid attention. The clothes he bought were actually pretty nice.
Even though the underwear was completely different from before, it wasn’t too strange.
The overall style still matched what a teenage girl would wear. Maybe Gao Ye had given him some advice.
The girl sat back down on the bed, keeping her legs together. The room became quiet for a short moment.
Suddenly, Gao Liang clapped his hands.
“Is there anything else that’s not right? Like the underwear, do we need to buy more? Mainly because I don’t know what style you wear. It’s probably better if we go together. When I went to the underwear store this morning, it was really… kind of embarrassing.”
“Pfft—”
Hearing his last sentence, the girl couldn’t help but laugh.
Just imagining him looking awkward inside a girls’ underwear store made her secretly happy.
Good. Finally… she got a little revenge for last night.
Well, even though last night’s biggest problem was that stupid system!
Still, thinking about how embarrassed she had been last night, she felt a bit better seeing him like this.
As for the underwear…
Ah, talking about this feels so embarrassing. Should she really go to an underwear store with a boy? The shop staff might misunderstand them.
“About the underwear… I can handle that myself. But there is one small problem. It’s a bit hard to explain to my family.”
The girl sat on the bed, hugged her legs shyly, and looked at her rival with a pitiful expression.
“Y-you… you bought the wrong socks!”
“What?”
Gao Liang tilted his head and looked at her slim legs. She was wearing white thigh-high socks, and her feet were gently swinging in the air.
Feeling his gaze, the girl glared at him and quickly hugged her legs even tighter.
“Is the color wrong? I remember they were white…”
Gao Liang scratched his head in confusion and asked. Hearing that, Lin Lin almost felt dizzy.
Especially when she saw his truly confused expression, she became even more annoyed.
“You… you must have done this on purpose! I was clearly wearing short socks yesterday, but you bought full pantyhose for me. Isn’t that a huge difference? A huge difference!”
“Huh?!”
Gao Liang was shocked.
Uh…
He carefully searched his memory. Last night, he hardly dared to look at this girl at all, let alone pay attention to what she was wearing before that.
In his broken memories, he only remembered that her socks were white. At the hot pot restaurant, he had only briefly noticed her ankles. So…
He really forgot.
Ah, so she was wearing short socks.
When he was buying clothes, he only remembered that she wore a dress. After the sales assistant talked a lot and made some guesses, he thought she would probably wear pantyhose under it.
So he bought them…
“Idiot, idiot, idiot! You definitely did this on purpose! I can’t even wear this kind of socks!”
The girl angrily swung her legs in the air, moving them more and more strongly each time.
Yes, Lin Lin was doing this on purpose too. She was waiting for a chance to kick Gao Liang hard enough to make him “lose his memory,” so he would forget what happened last night!
Also… the socks he bought…
Lin Lin had lived as a girl for quite some time already, but when it came to cute legwear like long socks, over-the-knee socks, or pantyhose, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
She was more used to the short socks she wore back when she was still living as a boy. Although long socks actually felt nice on her legs…
Every time she tried wearing them, she felt a strange sense of discomfort, and even… excitement.
No, she couldn’t think about that!
Anyway, this rival must have bought these long socks on purpose. Maybe… maybe he had already been eyeing her body!
After all, he once made her wear a cheongsam and model for him. So buying pantyhose on purpose to make her wear them was completely possible.
How perverted!
She thought he was a gentleman last night because he didn’t do anything. Hmph, maybe he just didn’t dare. But he still showed his true colors in this small detail!
Today, she would punish this big pervert, and at the same time, help him forget about last night!
Her legs, which had looked like she was just kicking playfully before, now moved with more force. In the messy rhythm, she was clearly looking for the right moment.
Suddenly, she saw her chance.
She kicked out hard—
“Take this!”
“Bang—!”
But Gao Liang reacted without thinking. He easily reached out and caught her foot. With one hand holding the sole of her foot, he looked confused.
What… what was Lin Lin trying to do?
“Huh?!”
Not willing to give up, and wanting to escape this embarrassing situation, she quickly kicked with her other foot.
And…
It was caught too.
Because she lost her balance, she fell backward from sitting on the bed to lying down on it.
And…
Both of her cute little feet were now held in Gao Liang’s hands.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a bit… awkward.
