Bitchy Inside and Out (Revised)

It's a cloudy day today, perfect for wearing an oversized dress.

OP means one-piece sleeved dress, which is usually the most gorgeous style in a series of dresses with the same pattern and design.

JSK is a sleeveless jupper skirt dress, which is usually paired with a shirt.

Comparatively, Bai Hui prefers to wear OP-style dresses, including stockings and shoes, and complete with a full set of head accessories when the weather is nice, making her look like a large, gorgeous doll.

When wearing JSKs, especially more casual styles, she doesn't pair them with shirts because most of the time, wearing a shirt will make her shoulders and back look wider. Broad shoulders and a thick waist are a common appearance for Lolita fashion enthusiasts, and it's not surprising even for girls with great figures.

Even now that Lolita dresses are becoming more common in everyday life and Lolita girls are frequently seen on campuses, this kind of outfit still attracts a lot of attention.

What Bai Hui found comfortable was that Liu Chang'an never seemed to find anything unusual about her attire. Even her roommates, who were used to her style, would look at her with curiosity and ask all sorts of questions.

Seeing that Liu Chang'an had been reading for a while and finally started peeling and eating chocolate, Bai Hui asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you go to class?"

Bai Hui knew that Liu Chang'an had classes this morning; she had unintentionally saved a copy of Zhu Juntang's class schedule.

"Advanced mathematics? I can go or not." Liu Chang'an bit into a piece of chocolate.

I don't like advanced mathematics either.

"You've misunderstood. You don't like math because you're not very bright and find it difficult, but I do like it," Liu Chang'an explained.

"An Nuan's math isn't very good either!" Bai Hui was initially a little guilty, but her anger fueled her momentum.

"Hmm." Liu Chang'an admitted that those who scored below 145 in the college entrance examination mathematics were considered to be of poor quality, and An Nuan's mathematics was also quite bad.

Bai Hui was somewhat annoyed that Liu Chang'an didn't refute her, but instead made some sophistry or changed the subject of his sarcasm.

"If I took a picture with you now and posted it on social media: 'Running into my high school deskmate,' what would you think?" Bai Hui tried her best to keep her tone calm and not provocative.

"So hypocritical." Liu Chang'an's objective assessment.

"I... I'm going to kill you!" Bai Hui reached out and pinched Liu Chang'an's arm hard. She wasn't particularly angry, because she hadn't really intended to do it; she just wanted to provoke Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an didn't move, letting her pinch him as she pleased. The movements weren't intense, and the contact area wasn't large, so Liu Chang'an could tolerate it.

Bai Hui pinched for a while, but her fingers got a little sore, so she gave up.

"I remember An Nuan went to your dorm and tried on your dress. What did you think?" Liu Chang'an got down to business.

"How is it?" Bai Hui sullenly rested her chest on the table. She had exerted a lot of effort and was a little tired and out of breath.

Is it pretty?

Bai Hui rolled her eyes at Liu Chang'an and then held the book up upright again. "Actually, Lolita dresses are generally not suitable for tall girls. It's like an adult wearing a child's dress; it's extremely ostentatious and flamboyant."

"Show me the photos." Liu Chang'an couldn't listen to Bai Hui's one-sided opinion.

How did he know she took the photo? Bai Hui took out her phone and searched for a while before finding it. Since there was no beauty filter and the lighting was bad, the photo naturally didn't look good. Bai Hui was happy to show it to Liu Chang'an.

"It's alright." Liu Chang'an nodded.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Hui sensed that something that would make her jealous was about to happen.

"I made a cheongsam for An Nuan last time, which is suitable for summer. Now that autumn is here and the weather is getting colder, I plan to make her a dress suitable for autumn." Making clothes is an addictive and highly rewarding activity when there is an excellent model to showcase them.

Bai Hui picked up her pen, poked Liu Chang'an, and then turned away expressionlessly. Before the college entrance examination, Liu Chang'an was there preparing to make a dress for An Nuan. At that time, Bai Hui thought a lot and thought that what girls like to do most is to empty their shopping carts. Designer bags and Japanese brand dresses, as well as various YSL and Slimming brand lipsticks and cosmetics are the most suitable gifts.

Bai Hui she would look great in a cheongsam, so she even bought one online. However, when she tried it on, it felt like lingerie, so she never wore it again.

"How much would it cost to have a cheongsam made?" Bai Hui asked coldly. She didn't look very good in a cheongsam, which was obviously because the cheongsam was poorly made. If it were made by someone of Liu Chang'an's skill, she would definitely look about as good as An Nuan...

"You don't have enough money," Liu Chang'an teased the young rich woman.

"The stocks I bought have skyrocketed, and my net worth has already doubled." Bai Hui gave Liu Chang'an a smug look.

"I don't have time. After finishing with An Nuan, the final exams are coming up soon, and I need to prepare for them," Liu Chang'an said regretfully.

"I don't believe you!" Bai Hui snorted. "She said it was an autumn dress for An Nuan, but the final exams aren't until January next year! Besides, when have you ever prepared for an exam? You did absolutely nothing before the college entrance exam."

But at least he didn't say things like, "You're not my girlfriend, you're not good-looking, you don't have a good figure, I don't want to do it for you..." Bai Hui thought about it and realized something was wrong. Liu Chang'an didn't say such stupid things; instead, he used a perfunctory excuse, even though it was clear that he hadn't put much effort into making it up.

Bai Hui looked at Liu Chang'an suspiciously. He didn't directly mock or personally attack her, which made her feel something was wrong. This showed how wicked Liu Chang'an was in his daily life.

"I'd like to borrow a dress from you to study the structure of Lolita dresses, preferably one you haven't worn before." Liu Chang'an knew that Bai Hui had many dresses, although not as many as Zhu Juntang, but she must have bought quite a few that she hadn't worn. Wealthy women are basically like this; shopping is not about objective needs, but rather about psychological enjoyment.

"You're disgusted by what I wore, aren't you?" Bai Hui glared fiercely at Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an hesitated for a moment, "I don't really mind, but it's something you wore, so it's not really appropriate for me to hand it over."

"Didn't you ever think that after I've examined and stained that little dress for you, it would fit me better when I put it on?" Bai Hui poked Liu Chang'an again with her pen. Although he didn't react, Bai Hui felt a little pleased and wanted to poke him a few more times while he was asking for a favor and wouldn't resist.

"I apologize for not thinking things through," Liu Chang'an said sincerely. He was always very polite when he needed something from someone.

"However... I have a dress that I bought but never liked, and I've never worn it. I'm planning to sell it... You can borrow it to study, just don't get it dirty and it'll affect my sale." Bai Hui didn't think that refusing to lend it would stop Liu Chang'an from doing things that made her jealous, because Liu Chang'an could still go to Zhu Juntang, while she could take the opportunity to blackmail Liu Chang'an into doing things he didn't want to do to gain psychological pleasure.

"Okay." Liu Chang'an was somewhat surprised by Bai Hui's generosity.

"But you have to agree to one condition."

"Anything but beauty salons, hair salons, or nail salons is fine," Liu Chang'an said generously.

"I'm dressed like this today because we're having a Lolita fashion gathering at noon. I was supposed to bring my camera to take pictures, but it's heavy and big, and I'm not very good at using it. Could you take the pictures for us?"

As one of the earliest people in the world to use a camera, Liu Chang'an hadn't played with one in a long time, so he nodded.

Bai Hui looked up, unwrapped another chocolate, and popped it into her mouth; it was sweet.

After reading for a while, Bai Hui winked at Liu Chang'an and left first. At first, there were hardly any people in the study room, but now there were a few more, but none of her roommates were there. Bai Hui turned around and waved, signaling Liu Chang'an to follow.

"Let's keep a distance of three meters... no, five meters..." Bai Hui looked left and right. Although she was determined not to let people misunderstand that she often played with Liu Chang'an, there was a reason for today's situation, and there was no other way but to be careful.

"Are you crazy? Wouldn't that make me look like a perverted stalker?" Liu Chang'an ignored her.

"Then... then... that was because you forced me to walk with you." Bai Hui's jogging steps couldn't keep up with his pace, so she had no choice but to walk with him.

"I suggest you exercise more." Bai Hui pressed her chest after running only a few steps, looking like she couldn't breathe.

"You think I'm An Nuan?" Bai Hui waved her hand with a hint of pride. "I'm just not suited for sports and exercise. When I run... people stare at me, it's so embarrassing."

This was Bai Hui's pride, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. In high school, when she asked for leave from PE class, the teachers would always kindly approve it, because the boys would always make a fuss, and the teachers didn't want to see that kind of situation.

Liu Chang'an thought for a moment. He didn't seem to have seen Bai Hui much during high school PE classes. He usually watched An Nuan play volleyball or table tennis after class.

"You're still young, you eat a lot and exercise little, your metabolism is still vigorous, so you're not likely to gain weight. But if you're still like this in a few years, fat will gradually accumulate in your abdomen and other areas." Liu Chang'an thought about Bai Hui's round and chubby appearance, which didn't have the natural harmony of Zhou Dongdong's.

"What should we do then?" Bai Hui had also worried about this problem, but most people are like this: if it's not a problem right under their noses, they don't really worry about preparing to deal with it immediately.

"You can buy your own gym equipment and work out at home, then no one will be watching you. Or you can do some water sports, like swimming or rowing... The pools in some high-end hotels are usually not crowded. If you want to row, just buy a rowing machine," Liu Chang'an suggested.

Bai Hui nodded. She had originally wanted to buy a house, but all her money was tied up in the stock market. Besides, if she bought a bigger house, she wouldn't have much left. It seemed that she could invite Zhu Juntang to exercise at the house Zhu Juntang had prepared at Xiangtan University more often, where the fitness equipment could be placed.

The two chatted as they arrived at the grove in front of the girls' dormitory. Bai Hui asked Liu Chang'an to wait for her there, and then she went back to her dormitory.

I recommend a fantasy novel called "The Vespers Church." I remember Xia Hua wrote a bit of fantasy herself. I wonder what would happen if Liu Chang'an's Europe travels were translated into a fantasy style... but it certainly wouldn't be written in a gorgeous and elegant way; I'd just describe the streets full of excrement and urine.
