Chapter 25: Did Azhui trick the innocent youth, or did Su Bai bring Qilin out?
"Qilin-jie?" Su Bai's voice came again, tinged with a hint of worry, "Is it... not good-looking?"
Qilin snapped back to attention, took a deep breath, and opened the fitting room door.
Outside, Su Bai was looking at her expectantly.
The moment their eyes met, his lit up, as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world.
"Beautiful..." he murmured, his voice full of pure awe, "Qilin-jie... you're so beautiful."
His gaze was too intense and direct, causing the faint confidence Qilin had just built up to instantly crumble, her cheeks flushing uncontrollably.
But she still managed to maintain a calm and natural expression on her face.
"Really?" she asked, tilting her chin up slightly, her tone light, "Little Bai wants his sister's reward so badly?"
Su Bai nodded frankly:
"Mm..."
That moist and soft touch, that racing heartbeat, the feeling of his blood lightly boiling—
Su Bai felt his entire soul become lighter.
Qilin looked at his undisguised anticipation and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
She leaned forward, about to deliver on that "little reward"—
"Wait."
Su Bai suddenly called out to stop her.
A flicker of confusion crossed Qilin's face, then she seemed to understand, a mischievous smile blooming in her eyes:
"Oh? Little Bai is shy now~"
"You don't dare to accept your sister's reward in the mall?"
Su Bai shook his head:
"No, Qilin-jie."
"It's this."
As he spoke, he took out the light blue beret he had been holding and gently placed it on Qilin's head.
He took half a step back, carefully observing Qilin before him, his gaze as serious as if he were completing a work of art.
A moment later, the corners of his lips curled into a clean and contented smile:
"There."
"Now, Qilin-jie—you're the most beautiful."
Qilin stared blankly at Su Bai.
His serious gaze, his gentle actions, and that phrase, "Now you're the most beautiful"—
...it was all too natural, so natural that a corner of her heart gently collapsed.
She raised her hand to touch the beret on her head.
The soft fabric, the light blue color, formed a wonderful harmony with the slightly aggressive black outfit she was wearing, adding a touch of literary flair and playfulness.
Qilin smiled slightly, leaned forward again, her voice soft:
"Then now, you won't refuse your sister, right?"
Her red lips lightly pressed against Su Bai's forehead, a soft touch that quickly separated.
It wasn't that Qilin didn't want to linger for a moment, but they were in a mall after all. A fleeting touch was acceptable, but to hold on for too long would ultimately be a bit...
However, when she kissed him and straightened up, she saw that Su Bai's eyes had become dazed again, as if his soul had wandered off.
Qilin couldn't help but laugh: "Little Bai is shy again?"
Su Bai didn't respond.
A hint of doubt arose in Qilin's heart, so she crouched down again, her tone filled with concern:
"Little Bai? You... hmm?"
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed Su Bai's gaze.
He was staring blankly at a certain spot on her.
Qilin slowly lowered her head, looking at the figure-hugging blue outfit she was wearing—
She instantly understood.
In the morning, she had been wearing a loose white dress with a high neckline, so even when she leaned forward, nothing was revealed.
But now...
A downward glance revealed a heavenly beauty—
A knowing look flashed across Qilin's face, but there was no hint of annoyance.
She simply doted on him, stroking the top of Su Bai's head, then leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice only they could hear:
"Little Bai~ don't be too greedy."
If it were anyone else, Qilin might have suspected them of acting "intentionally"—
deliberately choosing such a bold dress and deliberately mentioning the word "reward."
Of course, she would never have gone shopping alone with anyone else in the first place.
The two browsed for a while longer and bought some groceries before starting their journey home.
Underground parking lot.
Qilin bent down to fasten Su Bai's seatbelt. Looking at the handsome young man before her, she smiled and asked:
"How are you feeling today? Happy?"
Su Bai nodded vigorously:
"Yeah! Happy!"
"Then…" Qilin blinked, her voice soft, "Little Bai, do you want to give big sister a reward too?"
Su Bai thought for a moment, then leaned forward and lightly kissed Qilin's cheek.
It was also a quick peck.
Qilin laughed:
"Thank you for the reward, Little Bai. Big sister likes it very much~"
"Let's go home, big sister will make you something delicious."
She got back into the driver's seat and inserted the key.
The engine hummed softly, and the headlights turned on.
"Yeah!" Su Bai sat in the passenger seat, the light from the windshield reflecting in his eyes, smiling brightly.
On the road.
Qilin drove with focus, while Su Bai in the passenger seat closed his eyes and began to write today's diary entry in his mind.
[Today, Sister Qilin took me shopping for clothes~]
Qilin, sitting beside him, felt the fluctuation of the diary entry in her mind. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly.
She didn't check it immediately, as she was still driving.
Besides, little Su Bai was sitting right next to her, so why rush to read the words?
Meanwhile, Angel Yan, who had just met up with Azhui, also sensed the diary update.
She exchanged a look with Azhui, and they tacitly returned to the temporary base Azhui had established on Earth—
a villa located on a deserted island.
The two sat down side-by-side and began to read the diary.
Seeing that Su Bai had written about Qilin taking him shopping, Azhui didn't think much of it, only assuming Qilin had taken him out to relax on her day off.
Yan, however, immediately grasped the key point, a playful expression appearing on her face.
Azhui, seeing her expression, looked curious:
"Sister Yan?"
Yan turned her face, looking at Azhui with eyes full of teasing, her lips curving upwards:
"Our 'not-so-smart' little Azhui… didn't you notice?"
Azhui blushed and chided, "Sister Yan~ you just love bullying me… and that little rascal too!"
Mentioning Su Bai made her puff up her cheeks indignantly.
He was the one who was a bit slow-witted, the "little dummy," yet he dared to call her Angel Zhui "not-so-smart"!
She was a Guardian Angel! A Third-generation High-level Warrior!
The description "not-so-smart" was completely irrelevant to her!
Azhui took Angel Yan's hand and gently swayed it, "Sister Yan~ don't keep me in suspense."
Angel Yan chuckled softly and quickly appeased her, "Okay, okay, I won't tease our little Azhui anymore."
She then reminded her, "Azhui, didn't you notice that our 'Transmigrator's' address for Miss Qilin… has changed?"
With Yan's reminder, Azhui also reacted.
That's right, hadn't the diary entries only referred to her as "Qilin" before?
Why had it suddenly changed to "Sister Qilin"?
The address changed today—meaning…
What happened while they were shopping today? Did it bring the two of them closer?
Azhui couldn't help but become curious again.
So the current situation… was Qilin "seducing" the naive young man, or had Su Bai turned the tables on Qilin?
After all, Qilin's remarks and attitude in the livestream before had already seemed a bit off.
If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!
