Chapter 36: How dare you play dirty?
The maids quickly brought the ready-made clothes that were used for trying on, these clothes were naturally chosen according to Chu Xiaoxiao’s figure. Of course, these clothes were only for trying on, if you really wanted them, you still had to take your measurements first, once you had the measurements, Jiangnan Cloth Weaving would then weave the clothes according to your measurements and the selected designs.
The maids brought in more than ten sets of clothes and then withdrew themselves.
We all know the rules here.
There are no chattering ‘shop assistants’ to spoil the world of the two in the fitting room.
According to common practice, it’s a loving couple. The husband undresses his wife, then chooses her clothes, then undresses her again…
But He Yunxiao obviously didn’t have the guts to do that.
Letting Chu Xiaoxiao change her clothes in front of him? Let’s wait until the grass is a ten feet high in his grave first.
“Chuchu, try it yourself, I’ll go out first, call me if anything happens.”
Chuchu waited for He Yunxiao to go out before looking at herself in the bronze mirror with a complicated expression.
“Xiaoxiao, I want to kill He Yunxiao.”
Xiaoxiao: ” If you kill him, who will take care of those bad women for you?”
“I can’t control him anymore a bit.”
Xiaoxiao: “Chuchu, why are you always thinking of controlling others? Brother won’t like you like that.”
“Why are you calling me ‘Chuchu’ like he does?”
Xiaoxiao: “But you have to have a name, right? Should I call you ‘Chu Xiaoxiao’?”
“Why not?”
Xiaoxiao: “‘Chu Xiaoxiao’ likes brother, you don’t, you only like yourself.”
“I like Chu Fan.”
Xiaoxiao: “Liar. You don’t believe me even if I say that.”
(Notes: It’s a conversation between Xiaoxiao & Chuchu. Even she herself sees them as separate figures. It’s like dual personalty. Though they’re the same person but entirely very different.)
Calm returned to the room and Chuchu looked at the clothes brought to the room, choosing one that was relatively plain but with wide cuffs to cover her palms.
Chuchu silently removed the outer garment to reveal the white lining. The material of the lining was light and thin, and one could vaguely see that underneath was a red silk bib embroidered with lotus flowers.
For the current Chu Xiaoxiao, the lining was a little too tight.
If she were to let go of it completely, she would have concerns.
Once Chu Fan felt that his sister had grown up, he would deliberately distance himself from her. Then she would not be able to stick to her brother every day like before.
Or even, she would be pushed out by her brother to marry someone else.
Even Chu Xiaoxiao herself understood the hopelessness of the situation.
After so many years, Chu Fan was like a piece of wood, not even a single salt and oil, and he had never treated herself as his own sister, not even a single thought or action that exceeded the rules.
The so-called “like” is just her own wishful thinking.
Compared to Chu Fan, Chu Xiaoxiao dislikes other boys even more. They were simple and dull. weak and uninteresting.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t want this to happen and could only condescend to herself from time to time. So that she could still be a “little” girl in front of Chu Fan.
Now, during the break to change clothes, she finally had a chance to get some air.
She loosened her lingerie a little bit to reveal an opening. For a moment, it was as if the sun was shining through the clouds on the top of the snowy peaks.
The snow reflects sunlight, so it makes sense to produce a white blur.
A click.
The door opened a bit.
He Yunxiao stuck his head in and kindly instructed, “Chuchu, it’s okay if you fancy something with short cuffs, the clothes here are all alterable, have them make the cuffs bigger and larger when the time comes …… Sorry!”
Snap.
The door was shut abruptly.
Having seen something he shouldn’t have seen, He Yunxiao felt like he was doomed.
But there was one thing to say, he had really underestimated her before.
A moment later, Chuchu changed her clothes and opened the door, saying expressionlessly, “He Yunxiao, come in.”
He Yunxiao silently recited the prayers of the Bodhisattva in his heart and entered the room with all trembling.
Chuchu took out the bell that controlled the Soul Devouring Pill and placed it on the table, saying coldly, “He Yunxiao, do you think that because you are somewhat useful you can be reckless and do whatever you want?”
He Yunxiao’s brain was frantically calculating, trying to find wording that was neither weak nor very strong to slyly argue with Chuchu.
Suddenly, a flash of light!
“Master Chuchu, the one who changed clothes just now was Xiaoxiao, right? From what I know about Master Chuchu, Master Chuchu would never put on a move like that.”
Chuchu blinked and found that she couldn’t even refute him, so she had to stiffen her head and admit, “Of course, of course it was her.”
Xiaoxiao:?
He Yunxiao smiled brightly.
“That’s good. Miss Xiaoxiao has always been reasonable. Although I have offended, I did so out of the goodness of my heart to remind her, so she will certainly not blame me. How about this, I will buy all the clothes that were sent to be tried on for her to make amends. What do you think, Master Chuchu?”
Chuchu couldn’t refute. After all, she had already admitted before that it was Xiaoxiao who had changed her clothes. Therefore, it was a matter between Xiaoxiao and He Yunxiao.
Compared to teaching He Yunxiao a lesson, Chuchu obviously didn’t want to lose her “noble image” and do something like “cheating” and “backtracking”.
She had to swallow her anger for the time being and said, “Yes.”
Since she intended to buy them all, there was no need to try on the clothes.
He Yunxiao called for a maid, intending to help Chuchu take her measurements.
However, from the look in Chuchu’s eyes, He Yunxiao could see what she meant.
Even if a woman comes to touch me, it won’t work.
So, He Yunxiao had to say to the maid, “Give me the soft tape measure, I’ll do it myself.”
The maid was not surprised by this kind of request.
Some of the guests who were in love could take an hour to measure their bodies.
She readily handed over the soft tape measure and instructed He Yunxiao, “Three sizes, shoulder width, arm span, height and leg length are all to be measured, none of them should be left out.”
The knot in He Yunxiao’s throat rolled up and down a little, and when the maid had left, he decisively handed the soft tape measure to Chu Xiaoxiao.
“Take your own measurements, I’ll wait outside.”
Chuchu revealed a cold smile, “I can’t measure it myself, do it for me. No mistakes allowed.”
Of course, He Yunxiao knew what the girl meant by “no mistakes”. To put it bluntly, it meant: if you dare to touch me, you can expect death.
This was a stark revenge!
The first time he touched Chu Xiaoxiao, he was beaten up half to death and forced to take the Soul Devouring Pill.
The second time he touched Chu Xiaoxiao, he lost the only antidote to the Soul Devouring Pill.
The third time he touched Chu Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao to be precise, the result was better. Only the waiting room of the pharmacy was destroyed.
This time, He Yunxiao was on his guard at every point.
This is not to say that He Yunxiao has changed his ways; it is impossible to change one’s ways.
But being lustful is lustful, but one has to be alive to be lustful, right? A dead person can’t make love.
So, this time, He Yunxiao was extra careful with the measurements.
Not only was he extra careful, but he was also particularly thoughtful, specifically helping Chuchu to quote a larger number for a certain place so that it would be more in line with the actual dressing needs.
Finally, there was only a simple shoulder width left to measure.
He Yunxiao pulled open the soft tape measure, pressed it against Chuchu’s shoulder, and instantly read out the number. But what He Yunxiao didn’t expect was that his own hand, which had clearly not moved, brushed against Chuchu’s shoulder.
He Yunxiao:????
Chuchu’s voice immediately came out, “He Yunxiao, do you want to die?”
He Yunxiao:?????
DING BELL!
The bell rang and He Yunxiao was instantly enveloped in pain.
Pain, pain, pain!
Damn Chuchu! How dare you play dirty!
Looking at He Yunxiao rolling around in pain, the corner of Chuchu’s mouth curled upwards, but it quickly disappeared again.
The bell stopped.
Chuchu said in a cold voice, “This is a small punishment. Next time you won’t be so easily spared.”
(TL: Is this her way of showing affection? (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥)
