Extra 1
“OK.”
She put down the lip balm and pressed her soft, slightly shiny lips together. Looking at the large mirror in front of her, the girl finally let out a small sigh of relief.
In the mirror, the girl had long black hair that reached her hips, styled neatly with straight bangs, along with a cute hairband on her head.
She wore a black gothic long dress, which made her figure look even smaller and more slender.
If there was any flaw, it would probably be that her chest wasn’t very full. Because of the dress, it even looked a bit… lacking.
But that couldn’t be helped, after all…
“Is my body just… stuck like this now?”
Frowning, Mu Le grabbed lightly at her chest, looking troubled.
She drank a glass of milk every morning and even ate papaya, but for some reason, there was no sign of growth at all.
Could it really be fixed like this already?
After worrying about it for a while, Mu Le suddenly patted her head.
“Ah… I almost forgot the important thing.”
She quickly picked up her phone from the side, then posed in front of the mirror and took a few photos, carefully choosing the best angle.
After saving them and making sure everything looked fine, she finally relaxed a bit.
Of course, Mu Le didn’t dress like this just to cosplay Kuroneko.
The reason she tried this was simply to satisfy the “curiosity” of her group of readers.
As a fairly popular writer, Mu Le had quite a few loyal readers.
Some of them had been following her for years, from her very first novel until now, and had a pretty good relationship with her.
Among them, a few who lived nearby had even met her in real life.
This group of loyal readers formed a chat group where Mu Le was quite active.
The reason she chose to cosplay Kuroneko came from a recent “accident.”
These days, with memes like “our group leader dares to cross-dress” and all kinds of people doing cosplay everywhere, the group chat was obviously not always about serious novel discussions.
Because Mu Le had always tried to hide it and acted like a typical shut-in, even though people joked about her, almost no one actually knew her real gender now.
So, as Children’s Day was approaching, this group of “overgrown kids” started asking for gifts again.
Normally, Mu Le would just ignore this kind of thing.
But this time was different. The group admins not only didn’t stop it, they even started a vote. In the end, “group leader cross-dressing cosplay” won first place by hundreds of votes!
If it were normal, Mu Le would just pretend not to see it and avoid the situation.
But somehow, even the usually quiet rich readers came out to join the fun.
Encouraged by the admins, the whole group turned into a “cosplay storm.”
In the end, with no choice left, Mu Le told them that she was really just a shut-in and didn’t even have cosplay clothes.
But that didn’t reduce their excitement at all. They said they still wanted to see it, and as for the costume… a few rich readers said, “We’ll pay for it!”
So those guys started another round of voting, from Kurumi to Shana, from Rem to Kuroneko. The amount they talked in those few days was probably more than several months combined.
Starting from the next day, Mu Le really began receiving all kinds of random packages one after another.
Her address wasn’t a secret in the group. Sometimes when some of the rich readers traveled abroad, they would even send her local snacks and small gifts.
But cosplay costumes like this, this was definitely her first time receiving them.
At this point, Mu Le had basically accepted their playful behavior.
Thinking about it, ever since she became a girl, she had worn plenty of girls’ clothes, but she had never really tried cosplay before.
So somehow, she found herself quite interested.
Of course, besides curiosity, there was another reason. After thinking about it carefully, Mu Le realized she had never really given any “fan service” to her readers before, and she felt a bit sorry toward those loyal fans.
“Although it feels a bit strange, but…”
She adjusted her gothic dress, put down her phone, and changed a few poses in front of the mirror.
“it’s actually pretty cute.”
So… should she try the other costumes too?
Looking at the unopened packages on the sofa, Mu Le touched her smooth chin and fell into thought.
After hesitating for a while, seeing that it was still early and she had nothing else to do, she finally couldn’t resist her curiosity.
This time, she opened the Rem costume. But just as she finished unpacking the clothes and had only taken off half of her gothic dress—
Click!
The sound of the door opening suddenly came from the entrance.
Mu Le turned her head instinctively and saw Xiao Yuze walking in while loosening his suit.
When he saw her, his movement paused for a moment. Then he raised an eyebrow and casually placed the gift box in his hand on the cabinet nearby.
“A-Aze! Why are you… ahem… why are you back?”
Only then did Mu Le react. She hurriedly covered her partially exposed body in a fluster.
Even though they had long been like an old married couple, being seen in cosplay like this still gave her a strange sense of embarrassment.
Xiao Yuze didn’t say anything. While she was trying to fix her clothes, he had already walked over to her. Then, he wrapped an arm around her waist and pushed her gently onto the sofa!
Caught off guard, Mu Le froze for a moment. Seeing him calmly continue to loosen his clothes, she couldn’t help but shout, “What are you doing?!”
“Hm?”
He looked slightly confused. “Weren’t you inviting me?”
“W-What invitation?! You pervert, get off me!” Mu Le puffed her cheeks and struggled, looking annoyed.
But the man above her didn’t move at all. Xiao Yuze lowered his head and kissed her cheek lightly, then smiled. “Why are you shy? I think it looks very nice.”
“Really?” Mu Le blinked, a bit surprised. “Well, at least you have good taste!”
“Yeah. Changing things up once in a while feels pretty nice.”
“Hey… where are your hands going?! Don’t push your luck, or I’ll bite you!”
While Mu Le struggled with a red face, Xiao Yuze remained calm. But when he noticed the unopened packages nearby and realized what they were, his gaze sparkled slightly.
“When you have time, try all of them.”
“Huh?”
Mu Le didn’t understand at first. But once she realized what he meant, her already red face turned even redder.
“You pervert! I’m going to call the police!”
“Then before I get arrested, shouldn’t I at least see you try a few more outfits?”
Mu Le: “……”
Was it just her imagination, or was this guy becoming more and more shameless?
