Nan Jiayu stood nervously in front of the full-length mirror in her dorm room.
Roommate A was combing her hair behind her, Roommate B was adjusting her skirt to her left, and Roommate C was tidying up her shoulder bag not far away.
The three of them surrounded the Cat Girl, making Nan Jiayu feel immense pressure.
“I say… is this really necessary…?”
Nan Jiayu asked in a low voice,
“I’m just going out to play today, simple autumn clothes are fine, it’s not like…”
“““Absolutely not!”””
The three said in unison, startling the Cat Girl into immobility.
“Xiao Yu, do you know who you’re going out with today?!” Roommate A said.
“I-I know, didn’t I tell you all? I’m going shopping with Tianqing at the commercial district near the plaza…”
“Exactly, that’s why you need to dress up properly.”
Roommate B said, standing up to adjust the collar of the petite Cat Girl.
“That’s Tian Qing Tongxue! She’s super cute, okay? Xiao Yu, don’t you have any self-awareness?” Roommate C added.
Then she stuffed a pack of tissues into Nan Jiayu’s shoulder bag.
After a total of ten minutes of fussing, Nan Jiayu finally left under the enthusiastic send-off of Roommates A, B, and C.
“Did you bring your ID?”
“It’s okay if you don’t come back to stay overnight.”
“Do you need us to ask for leave for both of you tomorrow morning?”
“What is all this about?! I’m just going out to play!”
The Cat Girl cried out, her face red, and fled in a hurry.
Today’s outing was proposed by Su Tianqing.
The reason was that she didn’t have enough fun when they went to Green Heart Park last time, and since she had no classes this afternoon, they decided to go to the commercial street.
“Sigh…”
Thinking of her roommates’ reactions when they heard the news, Nan Jiayu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Although Tianqing was indeed very cute, and she herself quite liked that little Fox Fox.
And her direct confession on the Ferris wheel had made her waver a bit.
But no matter what, between two girls…
No! What was she thinking?!
Stay calm, stay calm! Today was just for fun!
Although it was pretty much like a date.
The Cat Girl walked towards the subway entrance.
A petite golden figure appeared in her sight.
Today’s weather was quite cool, with plenty of clouds, and Golden Fox stood obediently in the shade of a tree, her tail gently swaying.
She was intently staring at a flower shop by the roadside, the vibrant colors of the flowers reflected in her emerald eyes.
No matter how many times she saw her, she would be captivated by the cuteness of this little Fox Fox. Nan Jiayu thought.
Then, the Cat Girl took a deep breath, took a step, and waved to her.
“Tianqing—, sorry for making you wait!”
“!!”
Golden Fox’s ears perked up instantly, and she turned to look at her, her face full of joy.
“Xiao Yu!~”
“You look so cute today! I’ve never seen you wear such cute clothes before.”
Her fluffy tail wagged continuously behind the little Fox Fox, Su Tianqing made no attempt to hide her excitement.
Xiao Yu looked super cute today!
“Did you specifically change into this because we’re going out to play?”
“Hmm… I guess so.” Nan Jiayu scratched the side of her face shyly, answering.
“Then let’s get going quickly!”
Su Tianqing grinned, said nothing more, and immediately took the Cat Girl’s hand.
“I specifically checked the shops over there yesterday, it seems like there’s some festival today, there’s so much delicious food! And also, also…”
Looking at Su Tianqing, who was walking beside her with an expectant face, the Cat Girl’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.
Today’s destination was Qiuxi Road, the most bustling commercial district in Rong City.
Standing in the spacious plaza, all one could see were crowds of people, and countless neon signs and dazzling billboards.
The two walked side by side along the road.
“Is it some festival today? It’s so lively here.”
Su Tianqing said in surprise.
Although she had long heard of the prosperity of the commercial district here, such a huge flow of people still greatly shocked Su Tianqing.
“Never mind! Let’s go explore over there first!”
Golden Fox pointed to a large shopping mall, holding the Cat Girl’s hand behind her, and plunged inside.
The things sold in the mall were always the same few kinds—clothes, food, toys, daily necessities.
Su Tianqing used to not understand why shopping could take a whole day.
But ever since she discovered that this body was simply a perfect clothes hanger, Su Tianqing suddenly became interested in shopping.
“Look, look, does this one look good?”
The little Fox Fox stood in front of the clothes rack, gesturing, then turned to look at Nan Jiayu.
It was a relatively thin dress, a new style, but the fabric seemed a bit too flimsy.
“It’s a very pretty dress, but I feel it’s more suitable for spring; it won’t be warm enough after a while.” Nan Jiayu said honestly.
“Is that so… Hmm, then what do you like, Xiao Yu?”
“What you’re wearing, Tianqing, is already very pretty, but this one should be quite good.”
Nan Jiayu picked up a winter top with a fleece-lined collar from the clothes rack.
It had toggle buttons, long sleeves, but a rather short hem, somewhat resembling a Hanfu style, and seemed to require an additional thick skirt to go with it.
Then the Cat Girl found the matching skirt on the adjacent clothes rack.
“It looks very warm.”
“Yes.”
“Xiao Yu, are you going to buy this set?”
“Me?… I think I brought quite a few winter clothes, and this style…”
To be honest, Nan Jiayu felt that she wasn’t suited for such cute clothing.
Whether it was her roommates or her younger sister Nan Xiaofeng, everyone said she looked better in simple and capable clothes, and she herself preferred styles that were easy to move in.
It wasn’t that cute ones were bad… In short, each had its own advantages.
The Cat Girl’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Su Tianqing.
Suitable.
Too suitable.
One could even say that this winter dress was designed for Tianqing.
There was even a tail opening specially reserved for the beast-kin’s tail at the back of the skirt!
The little Fox Fox’s tail swayed left and right, she blinked her eyes, and her ears twitched.
Then she narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth lifted.
“Eh heh~ Is Xiao Yu perhaps hoping to see me wear this skirt~?”
“N-no, not at all!” Nan Jiayu’s cheeks flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze.
“It’s just that I think it suits you quite well, Tianqing… and… well… that…”
The skirt was taken by Golden Fox, who examined it carefully.
“Hm, your taste is quite good, Xiao Yu, this skirt is very cute.”
“But…”
Changing the subject, Su Tianqing hid the clothes hanger behind her, leaned closer, and tilted her head.
“If you want to see it, Xiao Yu, then I can try on this skirt… it’s not impossible~”
“…Gulp.”
Nan Jiayu swallowed, then nodded vigorously.
I want to see it!
I super want to see it!
“Heh heh, then please wait a moment~”
Fox Fox happily wagged her tail and slipped into the fitting room.
The sales assistant walked over to Nan Jiayu, and together they looked at the tightly closed fitting room door.
“Was that your sister just now? She’s so cute, that skirt will definitely suit her.”
“Ah, no, not my sister, we’re friends, just ordinary friends.”
“Ordinary friends… Ah, I see.”
The sales assistant had an “I understand” expression, revealing an aunt-like smile.
“Last time, there was also a pair of girls like you two who came to pick out clothes; young people nowadays are really cute.”
“So we really are—”
Before she could finish, the fitting room door opened.
The little Fox Fox, dressed in the winter skirt, emerged from the room, full of confidence.
Nan Jiayu stared blankly for a long time, then turned to the sales assistant and said:
“How much is this set of skirts?”
“Six hundred eighty, currently on sale for six hundred.”
“Eh? Xiao Yu, are you going to buy it? But didn’t you just say…”
“It’s for you, Tianqing! It’s really too cute!”
Watching Nan Jiayu excitedly run to pay, Su Tianqing twitched her ears in confusion.
Hmm… Is its destructive power that great?
Fox Fox quickly ran to the full-length mirror and examined herself up and down.
After a brief silence, two small figures appeared at the cash register, vying to pay.
