Chapter 356 - 225: A Second Awkward Moment (Part 2)

"Brother Jiang, come on in."

Qin Youyou let Lin Jiang in and found him a pair of slippers.

"Have a seat, Brother Jiang."

Lin Jiang nodded. "Is Aunt Chen not home today?"

"It’s Aunt Chen’s day off, which is why I was brave enough to invite you up, hehe."

’This is such a rare chance. I just want to stay home with Brother Jiang and not go anywhere.’

’I’m not wearing anything underneath. I wonder if Brother Jiang can tell.’

After showing Lin Jiang to the sofa, Qin Youyou went to the kitchen. She brought out some washed fruit and placed it on the coffee table.

The moment she bent over, Lin Jiang glanced down her loose collar and saw two pendulous mounds.

She was far more gifted than Qin Yangyang.

Even with some ’technological’ help, she still fell a bit short compared to Qin Youyou.

"Brother Jiang, have some fruit. I’m going to take a quick shower. I’ll be right out."

Qin Youyou gave a mysterious smile. "To make up for the wait, I’ll show you something special later."

"If you put it that way, then I’m not in a hurry."

"Hehe, then I won’t rush either."

Qin Youyou turned and went into the bathroom, and her thoughts simultaneously reached Lin Jiang’s ears.

’Hehe, I’ve prepared so much. Brother Jiang is definitely going to love it.’

Seeing Qin Youyou head to the bathroom, Lin Jiang grew curious. ’What exactly has she prepared?’

He lay on the sofa, eating fruit and scrolling through his phone. More than half an hour passed before he knew it.

Qin Youyou walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, holding a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment.

Even without his X-ray Vision, Lin Jiang could guess that the towel was all she was wearing.

"Brother Jiang..."

Qin Youyou said softly.

"What is it?"

"Can you help me blow-dry my hair?"

"Of course. Come sit here."

"Mhm."

Qin Youyou took the hairdryer, plugged it into the outlet beside the sofa, and sat down in front of Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang wasn’t an expert at blow-drying hair, but he’d seen it done before. He figured he could manage.

Looking down at Qin Youyou, all he could see was a sea of pale white; her feet and legs were completely out of sight. She was truly exceptionally gifted.

’I love this so much! It’s straight out of a romance drama. I never thought I’d get to experience this too.’

’This towel only covers half of them. Brother Jiang must have seen everything, right?’

’Hehe, I bet Brother Jiang is already getting restless.’

’His reaction will probably be even stronger when he sees the other things I’ve prepared.’

Listening to Qin Youyou’s thoughts, Lin Jiang wasn’t in any hurry.

Good things come to those who wait. They had the whole day, so he’d take it slow.

About fifteen minutes later, Qin Youyou’s hair was dry.

It was dark and glossy, not at all dry. She must have spent a lot of money on its upkeep.

"That should do it. See if it’s okay."

Running a hand through her hair, Qin Youyou said, delighted,

"You’re a natural, Brother Jiang."

Qin Youyou turned to look back at Lin Jiang, her eyes filled with a soft glow.

"Come on, I’m going to show you something interesting."

Taking Lin Jiang by the hand, Qin Youyou led him toward her bedroom but stopped at the door.

"Brother Jiang, wait here for a second. Don’t come in until I say so."

"You’re being a little overly mysterious."

Qin Youyou beamed. "I’m sure you’ll be pleased, so I wanted to add a little sense of ceremony."

"In that case, I’ll lay my cards on the table. What if I’m not satisfied?"

"Erm..."

Qin Youyou was momentarily at a loss for words. "If you’re not satisfied, you can make one small request of me."

"I can live with that."

"Hehe, wait for me here, okay?"

"Okay."

Still wrapped in her bath towel, Qin Youyou went back into her bedroom.

The wait felt a bit long. He stood there for over ten minutes.

"Brother Jiang, you can come in now!"

Filled with curiosity, Lin Jiang pushed open the door.

The first thing he saw was a sofa, and draped over its back were endless pairs of stockings.

All styles, all colors...

They were all there.

"This is what you were preparing just now?"

"You like stockings, don’t you? So I bought every kind I could find on the market. I took them out of their packages one by one and arranged them up there. I thought you might like it."

Qin Youyou looked at Lin Jiang, her eyes filled with hope, like a little kid waiting for praise.

’I bought so many... Brother Jiang, you have to praise me!’

’Although, it would be fine if Brother Jiang wasn’t satisfied, too. Then he could make his little request of me.’

’He’ll definitely ask for something... of *that* nature...’

"This is fantastic!"

"I prepared so much. I knew you’d like it!"

"I like it, I do. But I’m not *completely* satisfied, so I still get to make my request."

"Huh? What part aren’t you satisfied with?"

"I remember telling you before that anything but white stockings was fine. How come there’s a white pair up there?"

"Oh, you mean these."

Qin Youyou said, pointing to the white stockings,

"I didn’t buy that pair. I bought so many from the shop that the seller gave them to me as a gift."

"It may have been a gift, but you still hung it up. That’s why I’m not quite satisfied."

"Then go ahead and make your request, Brother Jiang. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll fulfill it."

Lin Jiang looked at the stockings on the sofa and pointed to a pair with lettering on them.

"Put those on."

"Right now?"

"Yes."

"Okay, no problem."

Qin Youyou had already planned to wear a pair out anyway, so this was perfect.

’If I change in front of Brother Jiang, he’ll probably like it even more, right?’

Qin Youyou picked up the Balenciaga stockings, sat on the bed, and began pulling them onto her legs.

But halfway through, Qin Youyou suddenly stopped.

The expression on her face grew awkward.

’I’m not wearing anything underneath! I have to put on my underwear before the stockings. I can’t just wear these by themselves!’

’What do I do? I already promised Brother Jiang, and I can’t go back on my word. How am I going to explain this?’

Lin Jiang was about to ask what was wrong, but then he heard her thoughts and understood what was happening.

But he said nothing, just waited with a grin for her to speak.

"Brother Jiang..."

"What is it?"

"I... I have to put these on a little later..."

"Because I..."

Qin Youyou grew shy, her voice getting quieter and quieter. "I just got out of the shower, so I... You should know..."

"You haven’t said anything, so how could I possibly know? You have to tell me yourself."

"You’re the worst, Brother Jiang! You know exactly what I mean, you’re just teasing me on purpose."

"I really don’t know anything."

"It’s just... underneath... I’m not wearing..."

"Oh, so that’s it. Well then, let’s pick something out together now."

Qin Youyou’s heart began to pound, and her mind raced.

’This is so intimate... ’

’Why don’t I have any thoughts of refusing Brother Jiang...?’

’Could it be that deep down, I was hoping he would do this?’

’What do I do? I’m kind of excited...’

"Then... you can pick a pair, Brother Jiang."

"Didn’t we already pick the Balenciagas?"

"Brother Jiang, you’re playing dumb again! I’m not talking to you."

"I really don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Aiya... Just a second."

Qin Youyou got up, went to her wardrobe, pulled open a drawer, and took out a small white box, which she presented to Lin Jiang.

"They’re all in here. You pick one yourself. I’ll put it on with them..."

"Oh, so this is what you meant..."

Lin Jiang had seen this exact same box at Qin Yangyang’s place.

They really were sisters, buying the exact same things.

Inside the box were twelve small compartments, each one filled. There were all sorts of different styles and designs.

Qin Youyou kept her head down, not daring to look at Lin Jiang.

He sifted through them and picked out a black pair and a dark red one.

"I think both of these are quite nice. You could try them on and see how they look."

"Then I’ll try the black one first?"

"Sure."

Qin Youyou took the black pair. With less than a meter between them, she slowly pulled them on.

Once she was done, Qin Youyou did something bold. She lifted the hem of her towel, revealing her lower half to Lin Jiang.

"Brother Jiang, do they look good?"

"They do."

"I think they look pretty good, too. The only downside is that it’s not a matching set."

"Is the dark red one a matching set?"

"Mhm."

"Then let’s go with the dark red. I think a matching set would look even better on you."

"Okay..."

She lowered the hem of her towel and gently pulled the panties off from underneath, not letting Lin Jiang see anything he wasn’t supposed to.

CREAK—

Just as she was pulling them down to her ankles, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a voice drifted in.

"Youyou, weren’t you going to go with Xiaojiang...?"
