Chapter 713: Chapter 732: I Don’t Want This Picture Without You
Most early autumn clothes were light tops.
They were usually a jacket paired with a top, or sometimes a slip dress.
Since they were students at a semi-military academy, their primary shopping target was actually pants.
But at first glance, the pants looked far too plain, so the girls found themselves lingering in the section with dresses and trench coats—clothes that weren’t quite suitable for class.
"Look at this one!"
"Tingting, I think you’d look great in that orange one."
"Michelle would look good in bright red, and Meng Chun, I feel like light colors would match you well. Qiuqiu... Qiuqiu, why don’t you try something pink? Pink and blue are perfect for you!"
"You mean that one?" Jiang Qiuqiu felt it looked a little too young for her.
Liu Tingting was baffled.
"Are you kidding, Qiuqiu? You already look so young! Just try it on. We can buy pants later!"
It was hard to refuse her friend’s enthusiasm, and since Qiuqiu did think the dress’s style was nice, she took it to the fitting room. It was indeed a very different style from what she usually wore.
It had pink puff sleeves and an off-the-shoulder neckline that revealed her fair, delicate collarbones. Thanks to her training, Jiang Qiuqiu wasn’t stick-thin; she had a bit of softness and strength to her figure.
But her skin was so fair that the subtle curves didn’t make her look like a "muscle barbie." Instead, you could just imagine she would feel pleasantly soft to the touch.
She swished the hem of the dress. ’It feels so girly,’ she thought.
Jiang Qiuqiu stared at her reflection for a moment. Then, on a whim, she opened her terminal, snapped a photo, and sent it to Mo Si.
As expected, there was no reply. He wasn’t even online.
Her excitement waned slightly, but Jiang Qiuqiu had the dress wrapped up anyway.
She wasn’t one to agonize over decisions, but her roommates were a different story. They were having trouble choosing, trying on several dresses and still feeling conflicted.
This was especially true for Michelle. Her family was poor, so she rarely bought clothes. It was only because she’d recently earned some money from her livestreams and vlogs that she could come here with a full wallet.
As a result, she was a bit overwhelmed.
The three of them were still caught up in the joy of trying on clothes and showing them off to each other. Jiang Qiuqiu, sitting in the store’s rest area, happened to glance over and spot the pajama section across from them.
Oh—
An idea struck her. She sent a message to her roommates and headed over.
She skillfully picked out a pair of panda pajamas from a pile of clothes. She had bought the women’s version before but not the men’s. ’I’ll just buy the men’s version today!’
’I want the really cute style! I’ll make Mo Sisi wear them when he gets back.’
’A panda wearing panda pajamas... that sounds hilarious!’
Holding the pajamas, Jiang Qiuqiu passed by the adjacent formalwear section and thought she saw someone she knew.
-
"I feel like I’ve barely shopped for gowns since I started at the academy." Mei Lin spread her arms. The silk-satin dress, woven with fine silver threads, cascaded downward, shimmering like the Milky Way. "It feels strange to wear a gown now. I feel like I’ve forgotten how."
"Then allow me to be of service." Jiang Jiang, who was wearing a silver-gray suit that perfectly matched Mei Lin’s satin gown, said, "Let me straighten it out for you."
He bent down, gently smoothing out the layered train of Mei Lin’s dress and adjusting the shape of the tulle overlay.
"That looks good."
"Jiang Jiang, come take a picture for me!"
"Alright." He obligingly opened his terminal. As is common knowledge, formal gowns are huge. To capture the entire dress and some of the background, one needs to stand a good distance away.
Jiang Jiang kept backing away. Mei Lin frowned. "Forget it! Come back here!"
She called over a sales associate and had Jiang Jiang stand back where he was. "Could you take a picture of the two of us?"
"Of course, Miss Dais."
